that he surprised young man of his

was very clever of him." replied the
peer. "Was II the first time he tried
It." The young man stared. but said

Nuhar Pasha and the Pipes.

Soon after the occupation OF Cairo
by the British troops the late Nubar
Pasha took a prodigious fancy to the
music Of the Black Watch and had the
idea of having n servant taught the
use of the bagpipes Nubar dispatched
n French friend. who spoke English
very well, TO interview piper on the
subject
Donald replied; "Weel, he micht
learn or he MIGHT no. Bit let me tell
we. Il needs wind an mickle strength
tae fill the bags o. the pipes an keep
blawin'. Sac If yin o. thae Egyptian
chaps took the job on he'd need tae be
bandaged a. ow're like yin o. thae auld
mummies. or maybe he'd burst him
ser."
This conversation was reported to
Nubar who took the piper's remarks
seriously. So he gave up the idea OF
having skirlcr attached TO his house
hold. as the use OF the bagpipes was
attended with the prospect Of such
danger to the Observation-Disclosures
Gazette.

"Now, the man paying 20 cents for

Depth Of Cyclones.

From the study of clouds an official
Of the United States weather bureau
concludes that ordinary cyclones
which traverse our country from west
TO east are not more than two or three
miles in depth. although their diameter
is many hundreds of miles. In other
words, their motion does not affect the
upper regions of the atmosphere. In
the case of hurricanes this authority
finds that the depth Is greater, amount
ing to as much as five or SIX miles.
But higher currents blow directly
across the cyclonic and anticyclonle
areas which produce storms and fair
weather at the surface of the EARTH

WOMEN OF PARAGUAY.
Patient and Good kstured, Bsrefooted
and White Robed.

Paraguay Is rich In local color. The
picturesque character OF the native
population, with their quaint Indian
features and habits OF everyday life,
Is interesting TO anybody fond OF OBJ
serving strange phases OF human life.
BY nature these people are patient and
gentle, seldom complaining. chattering
and laughing from sunrise to sunset
and taking small thought OF what the
morrow may have In store for them.
1t Is hard TO imagine how Lopez
could have drilled them into fighting
material OF strength enough TO keep In
check the combined forces OF Argen-
tina, Brazil and Uruguay for five long,
weary years, and it speaks volumes for
the indomitable energy Of the man that
he was able to sustain his position for
so prOtracted time.
Clothing Is very much Of a superflu
ity In Paraguay, says the Boston
Transcript. The attire OF the women
Is q cotton chemise with a long sheet
like shawl, or manta. passed over the
head and around the body In Moorish
fashion. The dress Of the men is
equally simple. consisting only Of cot
ton shirt and trousers. Both sexes are
guitless OF foot covering. At times an
almost uncanny feeling rises when a
group OF these white robed, dark hair
ed maidens pass suddenly with the
silent tread Of unshod feet.
OF a morning In the market places
the women folk flock TO sell their
wares, carrying on their heads the bas-
kets containing the few cents worth
Of native produce they have been able
to gather together for disposal in the
towns. The soft Guaranl language, the
common tongue Of the Paraguayans,
adds further charm to the scene.

Democracy Divided.

says:
"The Democratic party Is ..A~ding
The radical and the more conservative
elements can pull together only n lit
tie while longer. After Bryan Is de

10 be a new alignment Of the people,
and the Democratic party Will disin-
tcPrate. The Republicans will get some
Of those former Democrats, and the
Independence league will get more OF
them. The campaign of 1912 will be
fought out by different set of po-
fltical parties from those now In the

Fred Mack, the piano man. ia Mathew

NEGRO AND DEMOCRACY.
Would Be Suicidal For colorsd Men TO
Vote For Bryan.


One Of the greatest negroes this
country has known, leader Of his
race and the honored conidant Of
President Grant and Secretary Fish,
recently said: 1T would be suicidal
for colored men 10 vote for Bryan.
They have nothing 10 hope for from
the Democratic party, which has dis
franchised them in the south and
which processes 10 regard them a.
unit for the ballot anywhere. The
only chance for the negro is with the
Republican party, and IL will be a sad
day for the negro when Republican
president will be elected without the
votes Of negroes having helped To
place him ia power"
In view Of the fact that Bryan him
self has approved negro disfranchise-
ment In the south there can be no
doubt of his attitude should he be
elected to the presidency, while the
southern Democrats would regard
northern negro votes for their candi-
dates as an Endorsement by the negro
race Of southern treatment Of the ne
gro.
1t Is impossible to believe that any
negro who has studied intelligently the
history Of his race will go into the
voting booth and east ballot In favor
Of Bryan and against Taft and ShCr-
man, the Republican candidates-the
candidates OF the party which opened
the door Of hope to the colored man.
which gave him the ballot and safe
guards him in its use in every state in
which Republicans rule.

him through his struggling youth and
given her health to his service, who
had taught him to write and had read
TO him through long winter evenings
I'm the little tailor shop that his active
mind might be fed while he was prac
ticing his trade still held her place In
his life. She was a sweet faced wo
man who showed traces Of beauty
through the sharpened lines caused by
the old fashioned consumption which
was wearing her out. Her face was
not unlike that OF the late Mrs. Nc.
Kinlcy. The death Of her eldest son
was n blow from which she never
fully recovered The life In Washing

told me herself that she was far more
content when her husband was m in
