Pious Mahometans Would Not Let
Sons Wear European Garments.


Many of the chiefs in the protecto-
rate Of Gambia wish to have their
sons educated in the new Mahometan
school Of that region; but there was
a bar to their full enjoyment OF the
education they were likely to receive,
saws a writer in the Tailor and Cut

afraid that the wearing OF modern
trousers was part Of the school currlc-
ulum, and therefore they viewed the
school with peculiar suspicion Inc

parents have been assured that their
children will not be converted into
"trouser men," and the prospects OF
the school are now very bright.
It would be interesting to learn
how this suspicion of the modern

the dry goods merchants denied tne
natives their ordinary material. But
1t may be interesting to recall the lac'
that the British government forbade
Highlanders to wear the kilt for SONS

A Physician Says Girls Should Be
Given Household Duties.

mothers with the housework, and IN

clothes and learn to cook simple
dishes during the fall and winter sea
son, is the opinion of a prominent
physician, who believes that a certain
number of home duties give a balance
to the lives of these pupils and help
to keep them in normal mentEi ana
physical condition.
Girls, whether or not their parents
can afford to keep servants, should be
taught when young to do housework'
and there is no better time for them
to learn than between the ages OF 3
and IA, when they are in school, he
saws. "The home duties should not
be arduous ones, such as tire them
after studying during the day, but
| light work that is recreation, as, for
instance, dusting the bureaus and
furniture in their own rooms, arrang'
| ing their clothing in order on closer
hooks or laying them carefully foldeu
in drawers. Mothers should be care
full that the girls do not push or pun
heavy pieces of furniture that might
strain the muscles in their backs OF
arms. and should not permit them tc
sweep carpets or do any Of the real
hard work. A certain number o.
Ihours must be devoted to play aftel

1t Has Joined Arrack, Canary Wine,
Malmsev. Sack and Small Beer

Weiss beer, once popular drink in
New York, especially among the Platt-
deutsch population. has almost entirely
disappeared, Here and there in a Ger
man neighborhood may be found a sa-
loon which keeps weiss beer on sale, but
those who call for it are less numerous
each year.
Weiss beer is thin beer, produced by
rapid fermentat ton. Lager beer is pro-
duced by slow fermentation. Both are
favored with hops, but while the sac
charine properties of lager beer are de-
veloped through the process of manu-
facture, weiss beer is astringent and it
has long been a theory that it is non-in-
ting except when taken in very
large quantities.
Weiss beer has been known to have a
SOLDERING effect, and for that reason has
been called Montag beer, or Monday
beer, being a favorite beverage with
those Germans who devoted a Sunday to
merrymaking. Among Americans weiss
beer, thin, bitter, acrid, pale, non-stimu-
lating and watery, has had very little
popularity at any time. Unlike lager
beer, it never became naturalized in the
United States.-New York Sun.

Keen In Good Health.

There are many thousands of people all
over the world who can attribute their
good health to taking one or two Brand
reths Pills every night. These pills
cleanse the stomach and bowels, stimulate
the kidneys and liver and purify the blood.
They are the same fine laxative tonic pill
your grandparents used, and being purely
vegetable they are adapted to children and
old people, as we'll as to those in the vigor
of manhood and womanhood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are for sale every
