ra.too.d Women of tAe Congo.

Tattooed Women of tho Congo.
 There are two sorts of tattoo ing in use among the women of the Congo. One is common to all the members of the same tribe, and indicates the origin. and birthplace of the subject. It is an infallible and perpetual cer. tifcate of birth and nationality. The other sort of tattooing is simply fantasy and coquetry. The women mark upon their bodies the epochs of their exist ence. A horizontal line marks marriage, oblique lines the birth of children, vertical line wean- ing, another line change of resi-, dence. Thus the autobiography of the woman is written upon her person, and regarded with pride if it is full of events.

Physicians Thoughtful Wife.

Several physicians were relat ing how carefully their wives looked after their interests and how diplomatic they were in say ing them from doing unnecessary night work. One doctor gave an instance, demonstrating how the best laid plans of men and mice oft miscarry:
 "When l got home this morn ing at three o'clock, dead tired from attending to a trying case" he remarked, 'I almost dreaded to look at the hall table, upon which my wife always leaves a note when there is an urgent call. was naturally delighted to find that l did not have an other call to make, and at once hurried to my bedroom, and, without lighting the gas, un, dressed in the dark and tumbled into bed.
 "My head touched something on the pillow. l lighted the gas to investigate, and found that my thoughtful wife had pinned there a note, so that should not fail to see it, informing me that l was wanted at once without fail to call on a distant patient as soon as 1 arrived home, no matter at what hour"

President FaIlieres' Bet.

According to story told, President Fallieres, or member of the presidential household, re- gently ran the risk of being prosecuted. President Fallieres went to the trotting races at St. Cloud. According to the story, he gave an aidede-camp a gold louis on entering the grounds. and asked him to put it on such and-such a runner, a horse which won the chief race of the day. The money was paid into the pari-mutuel, the bet was entered, and, the race won, the officer went to draw the winnings of the presidents louis. The exact amount l do not know; 1t is, however. immaterial-it caused the officer to be congratulated. But the officer was modest, and declined the cOngratula tiOns. It all came out in minute or two the money was not his. Now, the French betting law of 1891 decrees that nobody making bet may employ an intermediary, but must enter it at the pari.mutuel in person. A detective, a keen
  stickler for law, thought he had victim. But the officer showed his card, told whose the louis was, and talked quietly with the detective for a few minutes. In the end the president was let off.

HOME RELIGION.

A Missouri minister announced to his congregation recently that he wanted no member of his church to give to the foreign missionary cause, who owed his butcher, baker, grocer or printer. Pay your local debts first, he said and then pay the debt you owe to the heathen. Report has it that the missionary collect ion was small, but the respect of the congregation for the preacher was large.

The Pennsylvania railroad of fcials have been ordered to dis pose of their coal stock holdings but will the small operators ob- tain justice, or will the favored mine owners still have the ad- vantage. That is the serious question that the Democrats de- mand be settled fairly. What the people want is the abolition of the combination between the coal producing industry and the railroads, which has been ex- posed through the Tillmon-Gil- lespie resolution under which the Interstate Commerse Commission investigated the combine and the grafting. Let us have lower railroad rates and cheaper coal and abolish the tariff on coal so that competition may aid in re- ducing the price.

SAND DUNES SPREAD RUIN.
Bury Villages and shoal Sounds on HAttsras-AdvanceP Proves
 Irresistible.

The prevailing winds from a little west of south have rippled the heterogeneous sands on Hat teras just south of the cape. on Shackelford at its southwest ex- tremity, and on the southwest side of Smiths island. These wind ripples started in sands ex- posed by the removal of a strip of forest next the shore, and have grown in size to great sand waves, which are advancing on forests, fields and homes. As the sand wave has advanced 1t has taken up several feet of the loose soil over which it has pissed, undermining houses, lay ing bare the roots of trees and exposing the bones of the dead in the cemeteries.
 Diurnal. winds from the sea have piled the sands into small wandering dunes and hill0cks, and even sometimes into sand waves, which are marching steadily inward and shoaling the waters of the sounds. At Nag's Head a large hotel, constituting a solid obstruction, soon had a sand wave built up a short dis tance in it's rear until the level of its roof was reached, when the wave moved forward and en- gulfed the hotel. In the imme di8te neighborhood two cottages suffered a similar fate. Here the land gained on the sound $50 feet ill ten years.
 On the northern end of Hat. teras island a fishing village had been similarly buried, while the sand had entirely crossed the is land at several places north of the cape. This movement of the sand was started just after the civil war by the cutting of trees next the shore for ship timbers, and the section is still known as the Great Woods, though not stick of timber stands upon it today. Pamlico sound for two miles from the Hatteras shore is growing steadily shallower l from the deposit of blown sand.
 On Smiths island a pilots vii Iage has been buried beneath the sand wave for q number of years. but this has been quite recently resurrected and its houses are again occupied. On Currituck, below Caffey's inlet life saving station, the sand has advanced entirely across the land, and one man, moving before the advanc- ing sand, has at last built his house on piles in the sound National GpOprp Dhic Mapa2inp
