YELL THAT PROVED OF VALUE.
Old Gentleman Had Underrated His
Sons Abilities,

a young man once returned from
college with long hair, a sweater that
had eleven distinct colors in its fabric,
q good opinion C himself and a col
lege yell that was terrifying.
His father sized him up and then
complained bitterly. His complaints
we're more bitter when he heard the
college yell.
And | paid good money to have

You don't care for the yell?" asked
the young man.

and hat is one part of the ANNA
which is lost when he is butchered."
A few weeks later, while on a trip
tor a new country, the father and son
were attacked by a band of %marauding
lufians. The young man opened his
mouth, threw the reverse lever away
YER in the corner, and emitted a
college yell, which was substantially
as follows: "Br-r-r-! Wool, woofwoof.
wool! Zip, zip, pippitysip! compat,
compah! Gurgoo, gurgoo! Wottell,
wortell! wheeeeee!"
The members of the marauding
band, amazed at the sound, and un.
able to understand it, turned and
fed.

than Il minute the carcass was in the
water. ~Thereupon he came forward,
and said that there were times when
the feelings overpowcred one; and for
that reason he would hot attempt to
do more than thank those around him,
for the n in which such a huge
animal was cut into fragments was
simply astonishing. The doctor con-
cluded his remarks when the machine
seized him, and in less time than it
takes to write it the pig was cut
into fragrants and worked up into
delicious s%ausages. The occasion will
long be remembered by the doctors
friends as n Of the most delightful
of their lives. The best pieces can be
procured for 90 cents a pound; and we
are sure that those who have sat so
long under his ministry will rejoice
that he has been treated so hand
somely.'-Tit Bits.

QUEER FASHIONS IN AFRICA

Recently the British public received
some late fashion hints from the
upper Nile, a returned explorer re-
porting as follows: The largest
tribe in extent of distribution Is the
Acholi, which covers the greater part
of the country between the Latuka
mountains and the Victoria Nile. They
are q fine, tall, well built race, and
they live in open villages, as a rule;
their arms are chiefly spears and they
spend a good deal of their time In
the pursuit of game; they practically
wear no clothes at all, except a small
piece of skin as an apron or hung over
one shoulder. Married women wear
sometimes q small apron made OF
beads. The men and also are
fond Of wearing a crystal or glass
spike, abou. three inches long, in the
lower lip. Young men are generally
very smartly turned out, wearing
brightly polished metal rings on
their arms and legs, also a peculiar
little conical cap made Of felted hui
man hair, ornamented with beads OF

glass or ivory. They keep their yea
pons in good order and always keep
themselves very clean and well oiled.
"A peculiar custom in their villages
Is the building Of q common nursery,
into which all the small children are
stuffed at night, the small door being
closed with n wisp of hay or piece OF
basketwork. These nurseries are
usually raised above the ground and
are reached with a ladder, so as to be
beyond the reach OF hyenas. A SINH.
lar arrangement on a somewhat larg.
err scale is made for the young un.
married girls. The huts are beehive
shaped. generally very neatly and
carefully built.
"A wilder and less organized tribe
than the Acholi are the Tango. The
young warriors wear very handsome
headdresses made of cocks feathers,
which resemble a guardsman's bear.
skin at a short distance. Another
peculiar habit OF the Tango is to
pierce the tongue and hang a little
piece OF brass chain to the tip. This
Is the highest effort of fashion"

During that week also a new patent

reporter or the compositor must have
got the copy somewhat mixed, for
this is how a notice of the %presenta-
ton appeared in the local paper:
Several of DR.. Mudge's friends
called upon him yesterday, and after
a brief conversation the unsuspicious
pig was seized by the hind legs and
slid along n beam until he reached
the hot.water tank. His friends en-
planned the object OF their visit, and
presented him with a very handsome

One night he was carefully vending
his way to the bosom of his family,
greatly troubled in his mind about
the curtain lecture he was sure to re-
ceive upon his arrival, and casting
about in his mind for some way to
eyade It. when suddenly a bright idea
occurred to him. He would slip quiet
" into the house and retire without
waking his wife.
Accordingly he let himself in, and
undressed in the lower hall, stole
quietly upstairs and crept into bed,
with his face turned toward the out
side. While mentally congratulating
himself upon his success he dropped
asleep.

When he woke in the morning he
dared not look toward the partner OF
his joys and sorrows, but lay still "a
few moments listening, to learn If she
was awake. Not hearing anything
from her, he felt gratifed at leaving
her thus asleep, and, rising quietly,
he took his garments and carried
them into the hall, dressed there, and
decided to go down town to business
without waiting for breakfast.
AS he was about to leave he met

on board the Danish steamship Patria
a week ago. while the vessel was off
Sable Island, Grand Banks of New

Philadelphia.
The stranger was a big white ow'.

miles before it reached the Patria, as
the nearest land was the coast VI

tanca from Sable Island. The owl is nf
the Arctic species and one of TIE
