East African HiqhIands.

The young Englishman, be he officer
or settler in the east African high
lands cuts a hardy figure. His clothes
are few and far between. A sun hat,
a brown flannel shirt with sleeves cut
above the'elbow and open to the chest,
a pair of thin khaki knickerbockers
cut short five inches at least above the
knee, boots and a pair of putties COM
prise the whole attire. Nothing else is
worn. The skin. exposed to sum-
thornS and insects, becomes almost as
dark as that of the natives, and so
hardened that it is nothing to ride all
day with bare knees on the saddle-a
truly Spartan discipline from which
at least the visitor may be excused.

Louis Napoleon's State Chair, Which
Was Not Used,

On the eve of the Franco German
war when the Emperor Louis Napo-
leon entered upon the conflict which
ended so disastrously to himself and
his countrymen couple of strangers
appeared at a German town. They
brought with them a large packing
case, which on their arrival was car
ried to hotel. Here the unknown Wis
itors remained some time and eventu-
ally disappeared without paying their
bill. which amounted to a considera BILE
sum.
The landlord whose curiosity had
often been aroused with reference to
the possible contents of the case, at
last determined to open it. and on do
ing so found Il handsomely designed
and richly upholstered state chair.
This was adorned with the French i'm
perial arms. eagle and Louis Napoe-
on's monogram, and beneath it was a
musical box which played when the
cushion was sat upon.

emperor at Berlin after the capture of

custodians of the chair. The widow of
the hotel keeper a few years later sent
1t to England where it eventually
found purchaser.-StrayS Stories.
