island peopIed by Drunkards.

In Fernando Pc, an island off the
Niger coast, owned by Spain, is a race
of habitual drunkards, known to their
civilized neighbors who have settled
upon the coast as Boobies" These
people were recently visited by an
English expedition, and were found to
be quite unique That they are aborig-
ines seems probable, and that they live
among holes in the rocks. but their
singularity consists in the fact that
they-men, women and children-are
constantly and habitually tipsy. That

Nature Such That He Cannot Hide
His Emotions

There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked a well known local
fancier and huntsman. "aud that IS
you never saw one pant and wag his
tail at the same time A dog is not
capable Of double emotion. He can't
growl and wag his tail at the same
time. for II is impossible for him to
be mad at one end and glad at the
other
III a dog is glad to see his master
he will bark and wag his tail II he
wants TO get into the house he will
paw at the door, whine and wag his
tail, but they are all symptoms of one
and the same emotion. But II his
master opens the door he will cease
to show anxiety Immediately by whin.
ing and VIII show pleasure only by
the wagging OF his tail.
In order to get mans temper
one must watch his eyes. but for a
dogs you have to watch his tail The
dog is likewise Incapable of deceit,
and hence he Is nothing of politician.
He deceives no one, not even his
master. If he is overioyed every
emotion is indicative OF that fact, and
his whole makeup gives ample testi'
mony to 1t. If he is displeased OF
angered It is the same way Houston
