CALLED THE vAINEsr PEOPLE.
Distinction Accorded Tribe Living in
West Africa.

"Sbt AuTICAs
A French explorer claims to have
discovered the vainest people in the
world. They happen to be also the
ugliest. They are the Pahouins. saw
age West African tribe. AS the Pahou-
ms clothing is Of SO light character
as not to incommode him, he bestows
good share Of his thought upon the
adornment OF his body, which he tat
toos in elaborate designs done in red
or blue. Both men and women take
immense pains in dressing their hair
Their ingenuity, which is shown in the
construction OF scores of different
head-dresses Of bone and metal for
the men of the tribe, chiefly the war
riors, is illustrated in far greater de
gree by the coiffures of the women.
The extreme of simplicity in the Pa.
houin women's methods of making
themselves beautiful is to shave the
head until it is smooth and round as
ball. and then to color ii with a dye.

A. a General Rule.

Roughly speaking. seventy-fve years
are required for the oak to reach ma.
turity; about the same length OF timc
for the ash. larch, and elm; and about
eighty years for the spruce and fir.
After this time their growth remains
stationary for some years, and then
decay begins. There are, however,
exceptions. for oaks are still living
which are known to be over u thou.

WILLIAMS PLAN.

Jobn Sharp Williams, the leader Of the minority in the national house or representatives, has introduced bills and resolutions iu the federal congress looking to a change in the trade policy of the United States. His plan contem- mates absolute free trade between the United States and Canada, and the Philippines, a gradual reduction Of the tariff generally and broad application of the principles of reciprOcttY-a reel procity wherein both sides to the agree ment yield favor for favor.
 whether President Roosevelt will ac- cspt this program or not Is known by no one. so far as is apparent, but him self and he is mum. It is the logical seouence of his convictions as they have been expressed more than once in conversations and in public speeches bu, be refused to mention the subject in his recent message to congress. It is directly iu line with the last speech delivered by the late President Mchin- lev. However, it is not in accordance with the plans of the trust bandits and the financial mauipulators whom Law son calls the system, " d these still seem 10 have the call on the coterie of so-caIlsd statesmen who control the ac- tion of the senate ani house Of repre- sen,atives. Unless President Roose- welt shall come to the assistance otthoSe who seek to expand American trade' Nrr. Williams program will be reject ed. and the rejection will be charged up gs one more act of selfShneSs and greed for which the people may de- msud retribu,jOu.
 The difference between the plan oi Representative Williams and that O! Speaker Cannon, the king of the stand patters." is that Nr. Williams would enrich the people of the United States by extending their trade, max ioy more labor for the producer and more business for the man of commerce. while the speaker would enrich few of the people by continuing their mo- nopoIies and permitting them to a0- sorb the wealth production or the country,
