MASK THEIR FACES.

Nomadic Tribe in the Sahara Whose Men Are Never Unveiled.
 The men of the Tuareg tribe of the Sahara desert habitually wear veils, in sharp contradistinction to their women, who are never yelled. The veil is really mask of cloth worn over the lower part of the face. Usually there is an- other mask which comes down over the forehead, only small slit being left through which the man can see and breathe.
 It is point of honor with q Tuareg never to entirely remove his veil He th,uks 1t as shameful to expose the whole of his face as civilized man would deem 1t to appear in public un- clothed.
 A story is told in Algiers of a Tuareg chieftain who visited French outpost on the edge of the Sahara to complain that some of the soldiers had kidnapped woman from his tribe. The commandant of the post had been drinking too much absinthe just before the visit, and he swore that no dirty lndigenie" should speak to him with his face covered. The Tuareg, with quiet dignity, refused to lower his mask. Tt Is against my faith," he said.
 The commandant staggered up to him and put his hand on the cloth veil, Intending to tear 1t away. Quick as a flash the Tuareg thrust his spear through the drunkard's breast, though he was surrounded by score of his soldiers and officers. Before they could recover from their amazement he had vaulted on his horse and dashed away over the desert. They never caught him, and the reprisals attempted by the French authorities were unsuccessful. The Tuaregs are the most nomadic of all the wandering tribes of the Sahara. To look for them in the limitless desert when they do not want to be found Is worse than looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.
 The Tuaregs, who aYe branch of the BedOuin tribe. are the most hospita- ble to strangers

TIPS FOR LONG LIFE.

Rise early, retire early, and fill your day with work.
 A clean and cheerful house makes a happy home.
 Frugality and sobriety form the best elixir of longevity.
 Cleanliness prevents rust; the best cared for machines last the longest.
 Enough sleep repairs waste and strengthens; too much sleep softens and enfeebles.
 Water and bread maintain life; pure air and sunshine are indispensable to health; and do not worry.
 Cheerfulness makes love of life, and love of life is half of health. On the contrary, sadness and Encouragement hasten old age.
 The mind is refreshed and invigorated by distractions and amusements; but abuse of them leads to dissipation, and dissipation to vice.
 To be sensibly dressed is to give free dom to ones movements, and enough warmth to be protected from sudden changes of temperature.

AN EPIDEMIC OF MADNESS.
Hungarian Aristocracy Driven Into
 lnsanity by Dissipation.

Hungarian Aristocracy Driven Into
 Insanity by Dissipation.
 A singular epidemic of madness seems to be making its way among the higher Hungarian nobility and affect. ing some families of European notori. ety.
 Count George Festetics, the eldest son of Count Tassilo Festetics and Lady Mary Douglas-Ha lately committed suicide in lunatic asylum by hanging himself. He was only 20 years old.
 Another Hungarian magnate, Count Szabo, of Arad, the owner of nearly 100000 acres of land, has had to be con. fined as dangerous lunatic. He had lately incurred heavy losses at play, and was ,aboring under the impression that he could not pay his debts, and that his creditors were pursuing him night and day with red-hot irons to brand him as swindler.
 A third noble, having large estates in Pennsylvania, Count Estaaby, has fallen victim to mania, after wild career of dissipation extending over several years during which he sold every stick of furniture in his castle and every tree on his extensive estates. Now he regards himself as an incor poration of various Old Testament per sonages-sometimes Moses, sometimes Abraham, but more frequently Solo mon.

THEIR PERSISTENCY WON.
A Good Story Illustrating One of the Char ct eriatics of 0rover Cleveland.


 Characteristics of Grover Cleveland.
 Grover Cleveland had the reputation of being a self-willed man when he was in the Presidency, but there is abund- mt reason for believing that he ad- mired positive men even when they op- posed his wishes. Shortly after his second election a delegation of eminent Democrats from one of the eastern States called at the White House to recommend noted lawyer, who shall be called MT. Brief, for high Federal position. The President examined the rlaims of the delegation carefully and satisfied himself of the fitness of the man. He seemed impressed, thought he would make the appointment, but asked for few days to consider the matter further.
 In AS hours a fierce factional fight arose and outside interests trotted out a second candidate for the place. The second candidate had papers and peti- tions by the bushel A week passed and the President sent for the delegation who had recommended Mr. Brief.
 "Gentlemen," said the President. In substance, "a very ugly factional fight has arisen over the appointment of MT. Brief. Now, l suggest that you with draw his name and give me two more names as a second and third choice.
 "Mr. President" said the spokesman, i've are your friends and always have been. We represent your organized supporters. The man we present Is competent and his character is without reproach. Have we stated the case correctly?'
 The President nodded his head in acquiescence.
 Then" said the spokesman, i've present the name of MT. Brief as our choice for this position" "Yes," rejoined the executive, pleas antly, The is your first choice, but who Is your second2"
 "Our second choice is MT. Brief"
 "Who is your third choice?"
 "Our third choice is MT. Brief"
 The President must have admired this loyal persistency in standing by friend, for that afternoon the name of MT. Brief was sent to the Senate.

The Electricians Mistake.

A Collinsville, Conn.,, man who is somewhat of an electrician, tried the novel experiment of electrocuting two mice. Two wires were attached to the trap and the current was turned on. Probably the theory was all right, bus the trap wasn't. The current burned out most of the wires on the trap anc the mice escaped.

BANKER WAS THE THIEF.
He Was Sleep Walker and Didn't
 Know He Was Stealing.


 Know He Was Stealing.
 Early in my career, says a former New York detective, was sent for by a well-known banker, who reported the loss of some personal securities kept in safe at his residence. They had disappeared one by one at irregular Intervals, and always at night 1 went to his house and made care full examination with out hitting on theory that would unravel the mystery. Instructed tile banker to continue his mode of living and not let any inmate of the house suppose they were under suspicion.
 l began watching the house that night, but nothing happened On the sixth night the banker went to din ner party, but returned shortly after midnight, and the house quieted down by o'clock. A half hour later heard a soft step in the room adjoining the library and form stole into the apart ment and, going to the safe, quickly unlocked 1t and abstracted security, closing the safe again.
 The room was dark and I could not distinguish the outlines of the form, but the darkness enabled noe to follow the thief as he turned away. He passed into the hall, down the basement steps, and into a lumber room, where there was an old box for firewood. To this the thief went, and stealthily put the security in, it.
 Then he turned and hurried up the stairs. l was at his heels when he climbed to the second story, where there was night lamp which gave sufficient light to reveal the features of the thief. He shortly afterward passed into a bedroom and closed the door, while continued my vigil.
 The next morning when the banker appeared took him to the lumber room and said: Examine that box"
 To his amazement he found every one of the missing securities. He was dumfounded After a moments hesi- tation he turned to me with a severe air and asked:
 "Who is the thief?"
 "You are," I said complacently
 He started violently and thought he would strike me. But he asked instead, ferociously.
 "What do you mean"
 "Only that you are sleep walker" I replied. q followed and saw you take the paper and place 1t there."
 He stood as one paralyzed- Then he said:
 Keep your counsel. Say nothing" I'm still keeping my counsel, and that's the reason have retired so early, can drive down the road behind just as fast stepping pair as anyone does, and can have an automobile if 1 want one

TO SETTLE CHICAGO STRIKE
Strikers and Packers May Hold
Another Conference.
Deny That Such n Conference
VIII lie Held.

Chicago, Aug. lon the outcome
OF a conference which may be held
Monday morning, the present chances
OF settlement of the stock yards
strike depends. The nature Of this
reported conference Is very indefinite,
1t is asserted positively by some of the
labor leaders that a conference with
the packers will be held, but the pack
ers will not affirm or deny that such
Is the case.
Sunday night It was reported that n
proposition had been made to j. Ogden
Armour just as he was leaving this
city for Boston, and he suggested that
it be submitted to the other packers.
This, 1t Is claimed, has been done by
the labor leaders, and the conference
will be held Monday morning.
The only packer who would discuss
tho matter was L. i. Swift, and he was
non-commtal. The most specific state
ment that he would make was:
80 far as know, no conference
will be held"
Mr.. Swift was insistent that tho
words, 80 far as | know" be incor-
poraied in his reply. The nature of the
proposition said to have been made TO
Mr.. Armour by the labor leaders is not
known.
At a meeting Of the market wagon
drivers, held Sunday afternoon, it was
decided TO declare boycott against
such retail dealers as buy meat OF the
packers where men are now out The
men will moreover refuse to do any
Of the work that was formerly done by
the men now on strike. This Is the
extreme action that will be taken by
the teamstcrs during the present
struggle.
There was very little rioting in the
yards Sunday afternoon and night \
number of men, said to be Don-union
men, employed in the stockyards, were
attacked and beaten by strikers, and
James Bristol, molder, was terribly
beaten by two men, who took him for
a strike breaker Bristol is employed
in an iron foundry. and has had moth

and will have a petition presented
to the supervisors OF all the counties

sion of the school term be voted and
that the county levy be increased
for this purpose. The following let
Ter was mailed ont last week TO the
prominent citizens Of the different

OF the longer school term.
Under the law passed in 1904 the
board of supervisors can appropriate

money raised by this local tax can be
spent as desired in building larger
or repairing school houses.
