AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS.

A letter in a London newspaper pro- fesses to give an account of the origin and growth of the Ethiopian movement with it's motto, Africa for the Afri-
 cans" The writer traces the beginning of it to the action of missionaries in sending natives to Great Britain and America for education. Someof these
 were ordained and some of these re- ceived American degrees. file says that about 1892 the Ethiopian Church was es-
 abolished in Pretoria. In 1S9S-94 the leaders got into communication with the American Methodist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, and soon the movement assumed a political phase. Just before the Boer war the movement had taken a decidedly political aspect hostile to white rule. It was only by prompt action that the leaders pre- vented an exposure of the intrigue. Since then the movement has become secret in its political aspect, though in it's mission phase it has been allowed to go on uninterrupted. Periodical con- ferences are held in Pretoria, Cape

BACHELORS AtRyE

BACHELORS ARE NOT IMMUNE,
 It is getting more and more difficult to avoid being married at least once or twice in the course of an unnatural life time, and this in spite of the fact that there exist in our large cities certain areas devoted tobachelor apartments,
 the inhabitants of which are supposed to be multiplying at an abnormal rate. The expense of keeping a wife in twice or three times the style to which she has been aocustomed-which is now de- manded-is declared by many to be even greater than keeping a chauffeur. It is true, of course, that one's automo- bile is uncertain. 1t is always break ing down, has to be kept in decent re- pair in order to run well, and must be constantly renewed, but the same thing. 1t is argued, and even more, may be said of one's wife.

The New Member.

He was a country senator, and when he
 took the floor The eyes of fellow members slowly
 turned to look him o'er; His hair was long, his voice was loud,
 and whiskers decked his chin, His "newness" advertised itself before
 he could begin He paused to gather dignity, with hand
 kerchief in hand, HIS movements were deliberate, but very
 far from grand" And well they knew, from former years,
 about what he would say, But still they couldn't smile in quite the
 same old way. I'm not a ready speaker, gentlemen" "

 me its lustre shed, But if you'll take my simple life, and its

 body here, And I expect to serve them faithfully
 from year to year" He paused in awkward silence, and
 stroked his beard of gray But still they couldn't smile in quite the
 0tllllG O1u way It was his maiden effort, and, while he
 strove to speak, His voice would sometimes quaver, and
 then again would squeak; He talked against monopoly and over
 reaching trusts They recognized in his remarks the ola
 reformers' thrusts. He cried against corruption, its baneful
 lust, and then He said they should be dealt with by
 true and upright men. They watched him as with fervor his
 form would bend and sway, But still they couldn't smile in quite the
 same old way, It was the old. familiar speech-they
 used to call 1t "cant," And used to laugh within their sleeves
 to hear that kind of rant; But somehow when this new man spoke,
 although he was uncouth, They seemed to realize that he was
 dealing with the truth. Some glanced about with furtivc looks,
 some trembled just bit, For well they knew those shafts at last
 had found a place to hit; They were, of course, ridiculous, these
 things he tried to say, But still they couldn't smile in quite the
 same old way

The Maine liquor sellers are put to much expense in defending prosecu- tions and paying fines. It is one of the incidents of a business which, while conducted in defiance of the Maine pro- hibitory law, is nevertheless believed to be profitable The sellers have decided that the cooperative principle, which, as practiced between themselves and the liquor drinkers, has worked satis- factorily, can be extended to an insur- ance company for their own particular benefit. The liquor sellers will contrib rte to the insurance fund. The fund will be drawn upon to pay the fines im- posed for violation of the law, to re- imburse the violators for the loss of goods destroyed, and to pay the fees of learned counsel. The promoters of the insurance company believe that with a substantial fund at their disposal they can fight the officers of the law to a standstill The part of the Maine liquor drinkers in this plan is to contribute to the sellers the money that the sellers contribute to the insurance pool.

IA brakeman on the Colorado Midland railroad two years ago lost the index finger of his right hand. Recently a woman passenges, much interested in the natural beauties the brakeman pointed out to her, noticed the stub of the finger When the conductor came through the car she said to him: ''Ex- cuse me, sir, but can you tell me how the brakeman lost his forefinger? He seems to be such an accommodating fellow" 'Yes, mum; that's just it. He is so accommodating that he wore that finger off pointing out the scenery along the line" said the conductor.

Senators Fear Wisconsin
Member Will Picture
Them as They Are.
CHAUTAUQUA TO BE FORUM
Startling First Hand Information of
Diguified Body Looked for When
Senator Talks.

What sort of speeches VIII Senator
la Toilette make from the Chautauqua
platform this summer?
That's what other Senators would like
to know. They have heard intimations
that he proposes to tell his audiences
his honest opinions of them; that he is
planning an accurate character sketch
of the Senate. collectively and indi-
viduaIly. as it has impressed itself on
him In his first session in the upper
chamber.
Will Mince No Words.
If the Senator undertakes such a cam
paign as this, IT will likely have a wide
effect. He is going to New Jersey in a
few days. to spend a fortnight talking
for the Colby faction Of Republicans
who are making a promising fight to
wrest the Senatorship from Dryden. He
Will talk straight from the shoulder. 1t
is said. as he usually does, and will
mince no words and avoid no personali-
ties.
Senatorial courtesy is likely to receive
a severe shock when the live wire from
Wisconsin connects the people OF Jersey
with a line of accurate. f1rst-hand infor-
nation about how the Senate does
business
Senator la Toilette is not supposed ia
owe much Of anything to Senatorial
tradition. 1t has laid a heavy hand on
him in his first strenuous session, and
tried its best 10 suppress him, with in
different success.
Despite all effort 20 the contrary he
has made himself heard. and ne has
written some startling things into the
statutes. He has more startlin Ethings
in contemplation. and he wants public
opinion to hack him.
To Push New Legislation.
There is small doubt that at the next
session he VIII introduce a measure 20
provide for the valuation of the rail-
road properties Of the country 1t was
presented the past session as an amend
nent 10 the rate bill, and voted down.
though not without much grief to Sena-
tors who didn't want to go on record
against it, and who made sundry ex-
cuses for their antagonisn.
The Senator will speak extensively
this summer at Chautauqua and other
summer gatherings. There is a re-
markable demand for him. and he can
not accept any more than a small pro-
portion of the enga gagements offered.

off more than their allowance, the girl
having to submit. 1t is only from
converts that the entire hair of a
woman's head can be had, and the
sale of the hair cut off a nuns head,
when she takes the veil, is valuable
item in some converts incomes.
Hair bought from the ordinary mer-
chant of the class described is more
often than not fraudulently weighted
with grease and dirty matter, and fire.
quently the purchaser loses about 80
per cent. before the hair is cleansed.
The cost of thoroughly cleaning and
working up this bought hair is enor-
nous, and as only skilled workers can
do it, the seller of the made up article
must make about so per cent. on the
price he gave to the merchant before
he realizes any profit. 1t may ease
the minds of ladies wearing artificial
hair to know that the cleaning Of the
hair is thorough and effectually de-
stroys any danger of disease from I'M
healthy germs. Every hair has to be
fastened in, with the root up and the
point down, as it grows on the head,
or it will not lie smooth and even. The
exact shade has to be matched from
many different lots of hair and length
and texture have also to be studied.
