Ways of the Nasal.

Sir Harry Johnston writes of the
Nasal, that African race which has
heen giving so much trouble to Ger
many of late. The young men are
all warriors, theoretically. between
the ages approximately of II and II.
When in this stage they are known IN
their own language as ell moran. They
pull the head of hair out to its grezt-
est length, even sometimes twisting
and plating fiber and string into their
wool The hair is then thickly coat,
ed with mutton fat and red clay and
tied into perukes. All hair on the
face and body is plucked out by iron
tweezers. The skin is kept constantly
fabricated with mutton fat mixed with
red clay, but as rule the body is not
disagreeably oily, and this fabrication
only has the result of giving a beau
tiful polish to their statue-like forms.
AS regards the body there is prob
ably no more beautifully formed type
OF man than the young Nasal warrior.
The face is sometimes in keeping with
the body, but more otter has a rather
brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes, but obviously received a very
-ong while ago slight infusion or
Hamitic blood from races dwelling
10 the east of the White Nile. While
they are in the young-man-warrior
state the Nasal live principally on
blood drawn from the veins of living
attic. They also occasionally eat the
neat of oxen, goats or sheep.
When a Nasal decides that he has
lad enough knocking about and has
ccumulated sufficient property on
mich to retire he decides to marry.
his is usually about the age of 27
80. After marriage he shaves his
cad very close cropped.

The education of the unfit is an
other problem which has come up to
bother our pedagogues. and it is one
which is bound up also in the great
problem of understanding. There are
so many men writing ON this topic
as to give the impression that we
are attempting too much in our ex.
tensive educational scheme. e.
1t is now known that every brain
has limit beyond which it cannot
be educated-a law as applicable to
types of men as to types of dogs Chill
dren, naturally, drop out of school at
certain grades, and those who are con-
tinued beyond their proper limit are
merely injured thereby. Many a splen-
did mechanic has thus been educated
the rest of his life. 1t is now even
binted that many of our new types
of immigrants are mere hewers or
wood and drawers of water as their
ancestors have been from time imme-
rial, and that any education merely
! units them for the battle of life.
If these surmises are true they are
bound to shake the very foundation
of our present order OF things. The
theory that there are minds now MI
grating to our shores which cannot
possibly be trained into a condition
fit for citizenship will naturally be re-
sented by those who have built up our
present school system to train men to
equality. Yet it is time to stop and
think a little
Every autumn the papers of the
larger cities are much concerned over
the inadequate school facilities and
publish dreadful statistics of the thou
sands of pupils VINO must be placed
on half time, yet it has long been
known that in London schools the half
timers who work half of each day
really progress faster than those who
go to school all day Have we not up
set nature too quickly in our schools

WAS DALzELL STUMPED ?

Prominent among the standpatters in
the Lower House of Congress is Con-
gresham John Dalzell, OF Pennsyl-
vana. His home is at Pittsburg, so 1t |
may safely be assumed that he knows, |
or should know, the conditions existing |
in that wonderful centre Of American
industry, where the Allegheny and
the Mouongahela, mingling their oily
waters beneath the murky atmosphere
of tue grime-covered city, unite 10 form

an iron bar as a birds talon might

This thought came to the man who

and he paused irresolutely. What a
child she was after all The pride
had gone from the shining head;
there was droop to the naughty
mouth that the world and Marcia s
husband had never seen.
The millionaire's fingers suddenly
closed over the Tiffany box in his

Jacqueminot from a nearby bush.
Marcia heard the swapping of the
stem and turned as her husband ad-
vanced.

The childs mouth changed to a

gained its poise
That's very kind of you" The
hand that gave the box was not quite
steady. The lid opened-a single
string of pearls lay revealed. per-
fectly matched and priceless.
They are very beautiful" she
said. Her eyes sought the rose in her
husbands hand, then their gaze
wandered to his face, and found
new, strange look written there. It
sent wave of color creeping over
her cheeks, tinged even her brow
and her slender white throat.
Beautiful" she whispered, the
pearls slipping from her unclasped
fingers to the ground. "But''-she
stretched out her hands to him, 81
would rather have the rose. "-Bos-
