great rapidity across wide zones where
there was not single well. As soon as
they reached pasturage they would remain
for several days to refresh the animals.
Then they would speed on'across the sands
to the next oasis. Their swiftest march,
made in the course of twenty-nine hours,
which included a number Of halts, was sew
enty miles, which is remarkably fast trav-
elling for camels.
The party traversed the plateaus of Moyg-

discoveries. They found for example
an enormous cliff covered with paintings
representing animals, some of which can
no longer be found in the Sahara. They
finally reached Inzize, where they began
the return march
They had travelled 700 miles straight
toward Tmbuctu in the Soudan and were
half way between that famous town and
their starting point. They say they might
easily have crossed the desert to the Niger.

NEGRO DIALECTS.
More Than Fifty Varieties spoken In Dif-
ferent Parts OF the South.

A patron of cakewalks or an admirer Of
cakewalk music might be justified in not
thinking so, but the fact il that there are
more than fifty separate dialects among
the colored population of the South.
Any one who has travelled through the
tidewater counties of VirgiIil is aware
that the speech of the negr" pol ua'ion
there differs materially from that used in
the cotton fields of Alabama. I he siugsong
speech of the camp meeting negro from
the hlly part Of northern Georgia differs
essent tally from the softer and more melo-
dious speech Of the Louisiana negroes from
the region of oanebrakes and rice fields.
The negro race in the South is essentially
initiative, and in Louisiana, where the
reminders of French occupation are many,
the French accent and inlonation are pre-
served In South Caroir a, which has,
relatively, the largest negro population,
there are found in the tidewater counties
the Guinea negroes whose dialect 1t has
been found difficult for many visitors to
understand.
In southern and southwestern Missouri
the negro dialect differs entirely from what
it is l'ewhere in the South, and in the
Indian Territory, where there is consider
able negro population. many Indian phrases
and Indian methods Of speech have become
incorporated in the speech of the colored
population.

PROFITS OF A FAMOUS SONG.
Only $50 for Hart Pcase Danks In "Silver
Threads Among the GOld.,

The death of Hart Pease Danks at Phila-
delphia the other day recalls he history of
his most popular song, -Silver Threads
Among the Gold"
This song. according to an old friend Of
Danks, Tom Moore. was composed about
1870 and was published in 1873 by Charles
II. Harris. 1t sprang into popularity at
once and had a sale of more than 100 900
copies.
Danks was often credited as having
written he words as we'll as he music. but
the real author Of the words was Eben
Z. Rexford.
At first Danks was unable to procure a
market for the song and in sheer disap-
point ment thrust it into a bureau drawer.
One day he came across the manuscript
and submitted it TO Harris, who realized its
merits and published it.
Mr. Moore says that Danks received only
so for it, dividing he nc ney with ReXford.
The song became popular in night and
was used by all the well known minstrel
troupes throughout the country. Harris
made n fortune out of it
Ii is said that Mrs. Rexford's mother in
spired the song. She had luxurious golden
hair as girl, and as she grew older it le-
came sprinkled with gray. Rexford wrote
Il number Of OF her songs but none of them
ever attained the popularity that "Si!ver
Threads Among the Gold" did. The song

POEMS WORTH READING.
what Lucinda Meant.

Why do think she likes me best!
She never told me So and ]
Have never put her TO the test:
Perhaps II ask her by and by.
Why should she stand and watch. you see,
When come down the maple lane'
Why should she wave her hand tome
And tap her fingers on the pane?
why should She reach her hands to take
My overcoat and hat, you know
Why should she pass the frosted cake
And archly say: II made It, Joe?"
And then. why should she always call
Me by my nrSt name' Don't you see
Such things as these. and others. all
Arc signs Lucinda takes to me-
Why does she lean SO close. say.
There In the parlor where we sit
After the rest have gone away
With the lamp wick turned down bit!
And why. | wonder. does she rest
Her hand moment on my knee'
Sometime n put her to the test
And ask her II she cares for me.
To night when arose TO 60
She went and stood beside the door.
And said: you're always welcome. Joe,'
A thing she's often said before.
SO now | guess II Is all right:
Next Sunday will know. you see,
Just what Lucinda meant TO night
When her hand waved kiss to me.
