Blacks That Had Never Seen Whites

From the London Globe.
 In Mornington island, one of the Welles- ley group in the Gulf of Carpentaria, MT. R. B. Howard, chief protector of aborigi- nes in Queensland, has found a tribe which it is believed has never before come in contact with white men. After searching vainly for two days. MT. How ard came upon few natives and after wards a considerable number were seen. The blacks, he says, were in their primi- tive state. They did not know the use of tobacco, and would not eat bread, meat. or even sugar. although they readily tasted anything given to them. There was no sign whatever of any disease, and. all though emaciated in appearance, they were strong and agile.

Amusina the Baby.

From Harper's Bazaar.
 A simple device for keeping baby amused and happy is to fasten at inter- vals upon a broad bright ribbon the little toys of which he is most fond, suspending the ribbon above the bed upon which he lies within reach of the little hands, by securing one end to the head of the bed and the other to the foot. He will then entertain himself by the hour pushing the toys back and forth and watching them swing above him.

Mayor Calls Meeting.

Mayor w. M. Teague has drawn up a communication which he is sending out, calling a meeting of mayors and city at torneys in Montgomery April IA, to discuss for the most part the restoration of the city allotment of the road and bridge fund of the various counties. In a case brought up from Jefferson county the supreme court held the bill allowing a portion of this fund to be applied in the cities was declared to be illegal, and the cities, as a consequence, have lost many thousands of dollars.
 The full text of the letter follows, ad- dressed to the mayors of all towns and cities of over 1000 inhabitants:
 Dear Sir:-It is the purpose of the mayors of the cities of this state, to- gether with the city attorneys of the same, to assemble in Montgomery on April IA, for the purpose of discussing various matters of interest to the cities and towns of this state. The invalida- tion of the road and bridge fund act by tho supreme court of Alabama has given rise to a condition which is one of serious moment to the municipalities and must needs be considered so by the cities and towns of this state, which have during the past year been depend ent, in measure, upon this fund for the maintenance of their streets and bridges. This fact makes it imperative that some action be taken by the cities with a view of re8aining what has been lost to them by reason of the improper passage of the bill which originally ere ated the fund. It has been suggested that at this meeting a petition be for mulated requesting the governor to in clude this and other matters which may be decided upon later in the call for the extra session of the legislature, which will probably be held at the capitol during the approaching summer season.
 Tt is the belief of those who have been approached on the subject that unity of action on the part of executives and city attorneys of this state will result at least in the bringing about of a re- passage of this measure, and in all prob ability the restoration of this fund to the cities and towns to which they are undoubtedly entitled
 "Asde from this very important ques- tion and it's consideration the meeting will be open to the discussion of all other subjects of interest to the municipalities which might properly be acted upon by the legislature.
 You and your city attorney are urged to assist in making this meeting a sue cess, and to that end you are earnestly requested to favor us with your presence on the date above named. Very truly yours, w. M TEAGUE,
 Mayor of Montgomery"
