The oriqinaI Buccaneers.

Originally buccaneers were peaceful
English, French and Dutch settlers in
the Spanish West Indies. and they re-
ceived their name on account of their
custom of drying their meats, in the
Indian fashion, on a buccan Or hurdle.
The Spaniards resented strongly the
intrusion of these foreigners, and
made many attempts to GUST them, but
the buccaneers were a hardy set of
men and crack shots with the mus
kets, SO they successfully resisted all
the Spaniards' attacks and obstinately
remained in the islands. What it was
that caused the buccaneers to abandon
their comparatively peaceful mode of
living and take to piracy it is hard to
say. Possibly the constant marrying
to which they were subjected by the
Spaniards prompted them to retaliate,
but, whatever the reason, their depre-
dations soon rendered the passage of
the Caribbean sea an undertaking of
extreme danger to merchantmen and
the word buccaneer has come down
as a synonym for robbery, murder and
all the vices

Although the japanese have made

QUEER JEWELLERS IN CHAD.
Little Known District in Heart OF
Central Africa.

Little Known District IN Heart OF
Central Africa.
A French army officer who recently
made an exploration Of the Lake
Chad region in Central Africa, has
sent to his government curious re-
ports of the island jewellers in tho
lake, who were amazed when the first
steamboat ever seen there pulled it's
noisy way among them. Lake Chad
is roughly triangular in shape, and
about 100 miles on each of it's sides.
At no point is it more than about
thirty feet deep, and it is a perfect
maze of islands. The islands are
long and narrow and all lie in a north
northwest and south-southwest direc-
ton. This uniformity is attributed by
Col. Destenave in part to the current
from the Shari river and in part to
the prevailing winds. Many Of the
islands are fairly well wooded, and no
difficulty was experienced in supply
ing the steamer with fuel. Among
the trees is one which is lighter even
than cork, and the natives sometimes
use it for canoes and also as a float
in crossing the lanes of water which
separate the islands. Usually the
canoes used by the natives are made
of reeds, but not infrequently a ma
tive transfers his family and focks
from one island to another by simply
swimming across. The cattle become
accustomed to this mode of changing
pasturage. Col. Destenave estimates
that the number of inhabited islands
is about eighty, supporting a popula-
ton of about $4,000 people. There are
some 1000 or 5000 head of cattle on
the islands, as we'll a a number OF
horses.

OF INTEREST IN THE HOUSEHOLD

In an article in the May Delineator
light is thrown upon a vexatious prob
lem which many women have to con-
tend; namely. serving a dinner or
luncheon without a maid. The sugges-
tons are practical and simplify the
serving Of a meal to a great extent. In
the same number are two illustrated
pages of dainty refreshments for a May
Day entertainment. Luncheon dishes
and entrees from left-overs gives ap-
petizing and economical preparations,
Inc in rice variations are supplied a
number of ways of preparing this staple
article of food. In addition there are
recipes for many kinds Of sponge
cakes and numerous suggestions to
tighten the labor Of the kitchen.
