THE HlPPOPOTAMUS.
Jncouth Antics of This Unwieldy Ami
NAL In African Waters.

in the channels which traverse
the marshes of certain districts in
central Africa" writes traveller,
hlppopotami in incredible numbers
are met with-sometimes in herds of
sixty and seventy. Wherever the
channel widens out into a reedy
lake rows of grotesque looking heads
with ears erect appear above the
water surface, their owners studying
the extraordinary apparition pro-
duced by the steamer. On approach
ing the spot these heads disappear,
one after the other, under water,
and a series of waves and large rip
pies indicate the passage of the mon
ster forms below the surface. After
few minutes time the same huge
heads reappear, generally down
stream OF the boat. They have an
other stare and again disappear, with
a snort and the expulsion of small
volume of water from the nostrils.
Not lnfrequendy severe bump IS
telt IN the steamer, making the
whole hull culver, as the back of a
hippopotamus seeking to escape has
touched it.
If the water should happen to be
shallow, the attempts of these ami
mails to hide themselves are ludic-
rous, as their movements are clumsy
and their anger and fear are evident.
In such cases their heads and the
fore parts of their bodies are under
water, and nothing is seen but the
huge pink hind quarters, struggling,
kicking and churning up the water
in the effort to get out of sight. Al
though their uncouth antics may be
safely watched from a steamer, it is
very different matter if the OBJ
server is in a canoe or a small boat.
Then his position is one Of consider
able danger, as he stands a very
good chance of being upset.
Gas the water of all these chan
nels sWarms with crocodiles, such a
contingency is not pleasant to con
template. The natives are fully
alive to this risk and never venture
in their dugout canoes into the
broad streams infested by hippo
potami, but invariably keep to the
shallow and narrow branches on Ell

HIS PRIVATE BRAND OF MEANNESS.

ST haven't got so low as that yet"
sneered fastidious young fellow to
whom it was suggested that he might
wear a celluloid collar on a dusty
trip, and save his laundried ones for
the vacation stay, where laundries
were hard to find. But he was mean
enough to make woman with child
endure the smoke Of his cigarette,
because there was no seat left for her
but the smokers seats.
Many of us who are loud enough in
our denunciation of something that
looks small to US, and would make US
feel cheap if we did it, have a private
brand of meanness that cheapens US,
in the eyes of right-thinking people,
a hundred per cent below what the
little economy could, or the homely
dress or occupation of which we are
afraid.
The freshman who hasn't paid DIS
laundress for six weeks thinks his
fellow student is mean fellow
because he declines to subscribe to
floral testimony to the president OF
the class. A man can afford to look
mean, if necessary, in order to De
honest. Shabbiness that has no
unpaid bills is a badge of nobility
beside a faultlessness in neckties and
nobbiness in hats and spotlessness IN
linens and fannels, behind which are
fifty unkept promises to pay up. A
last years hat cannot begin to be as
mean as last years board-bill.
eIt would look real mean not to
have a handsome dinner for Them"
says young Mrs. Junewed. "Let me
send for the caterer, and order an
orchestra"
eff you think it would look meaner
than for me to pawn my winter over
coat, or get an advance on next
months salary, at twelve per cent a
month, I'll take the plunge"
There is meanness and meanness.
You take your choice.
But remember this: it is never
what the world judges mean in you
that counts. 1t is your own private
brand of meanness-things that make
you look better outwardly, but that
ought to make you despise yourself
inwardly-that really make you a
mean, contemplate thing, small
enough to crawl through. any loop
hole of deceit or crack of false
| appearance.

THE WORST MOSQUITOES.
Maubin, Burma, Has the Biggest and
Most Virulent Known.

Unsurpassed in all the world in
number, size and virulent activity
are the mosquitoes of Maubin, a
town of Burma, according to V. c.
Scott O'Connor He says: Cones
first visit to Maubin in the mosquito
season is an experience, and to see
them under the fare of an electric
searchlight come over the ships side
in hordes and occupy like an ire
sistible army every fraction of its
surface, to see them hanging in fes-
ICONS from the white canvas avn
ings, the mosquito nets, the table
linen and the punka flaps and from
every object on which they can Sc
cure a footing, is to have lived in
deed. How to continue to live after
the novelty of the spectacle has worn
off is the definite problem that occu-
pies every ones mind in Maubin. 1t
is achieved in the main by intrench-
ing oneself within an iron fortress
of fine mesh. In some houses there
is a special room, a kind of inner
citadel and last refuge, which is
wholly of iron gauze, and within it
the master of the house sits like a
vanquished lion in a cage.
''To enter this fortress in advance
of the enemy calls for the exercise
of agility Of high order. The doors
have swing backs and are made to
close the instant that they are re-
leased. Outside them the light cav
airy of the enemy hover in clouds.
The man within, this Engishman
in his strange castle, observes your
approach with furtive and anxious
eyes, and if you be a newcomer he

The "PlimsoII Mark"

Many person has looked at a
British ship lying in low water and
wondered what was meant by a cir
cular mark with a straight line run
ming through it which is to be seen
on the side of the vessel. This is
known as the "Plimsoll mark y
Samuel Pimsoll, the friend of sea-
faring men, devoted the best years
of his life to furthering the interests
of sailors. He noticed that over
loaded and unseaworthy vessels were
often sent on voyages, with great
danger to human life. He tried to
induce the British parliament to
alter matters; but, failing to do 50,
he himself entered the house of
commons in 1868 and succeeded in
getting the merchant shipping act
passed. BY this act the board OF
trade was empowered to detain any
vessel deemed unsafe. Finally own
ers were ordered to have load wa
ter mark painted upon their yes

Later, on the other page, partial
firing continued until four hours
