II. Rider Haggard in "A Winter Pil. grimage" tells this anecdote:
 When was a soaring human boy my father took me up tue Rhine by boat with the hope and expectation that my mind would be improved by contemplating its lovely and historic bauks. Wearying of this feast very soon. slipped down to the cabin to enjoy one more congenial, that of Rob- inson Crusoe.' But some family trai- tor betrayed me. and. protesting even with tears that l hated views, was dragged to the deck again.

Turn About.

X young English student late one cold and wintry night found the door of his college locked against him. The young man outside argued with the doorkeeper inside, caioled and entreat- ed, but to no avail. Eventually he slipped half a sovereign under the door and was admitted. It was a financial deal wisely thought out on strict busl ness lines Once inside he informed the ianitor falsely) that. unfortunate ly. after taking the half sovereign out of his purse he had dropped the purse itself on the doorstep. The attendant went out to secure it, but once on the chilly. wet doorstep the door was slam med. Then the deal was repeated, for the shivering mereenary was not al- lowed into his warm abode until he had slipped the half sovereign back again.

THE INDIANS PAID.
What the White Men Charged Them
 For Killing One Donkey.

In "Reminiscences of Old Times In Tennessee ;l story is told of the good faith and honor of | party of Chicka- saw Indians. While hunting one fall they shot I donkey, mistakiDg the creature for wild animal. They sold the hide. and it finally came to the hands of John Barnes in Lipton.
 When the Chickasaws returned to tue region of Lipton for their annual hunt the next fali Barnes invited them 10 q shooting match. the prize to be the skin of a very rare animal.
 Thirty braves appeared at the con- test. and ole of them won the prize. When he saw the skin he turned it over and said: "Ha, ha. Me kill him. Me shoot him. See.' And he pointed 10 the fatal bullet hole
 Then Barnes told them that they had killed q donkey. q Herv useful animal, but he was sure that they had done # by mistake. believing it to be a wild animal
 The Indians listened atteutively to Ille White tt5ali x words alld then con suited te,-et her 9 few minutes. Finally tha, separated. e;e.h brave @oill. to his p"'.y.

AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
The Way It Was Described by an
 Educated Native.

The Way It Was Described by an
 Educated Native.
 C. J.. Phillips. business agent in Uganda of the Church Missionary so- ciety. throws light upon the workings of the native mind by quoting a re- markable letter in which . native member of tue katikiro's (prime minis ter's, party gives a description of the Uganda railway
 My friend. can tell you the Eure peans have done marvellous thing to make the railway and the trains. They fasten ten or fifteen houses together and attach them to a fireplace which is as big as an elephant. and the road it goes on is as smooth as the stem of q plantain. It goes as fast as d swal- low flying. and everything you see out side fits past you like a spark from a fire. If it were to drop off one of the bridges not one in it would be saved for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills it passes are as high as those of koki. and they have hridgea over great val leys which are as deep as that you see when you look from the top of Nami- rembo. so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over thema
 Later there follows description of ship: Tt is as deep as our two sto- ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo. and it is as long as from the katikiro's fence to the gate of the kings inclosure. It has three tall poles in it and a big throat out of which smoke comes. which is as wide as the new drum ill the church at Ma. mirembo The rooms in it go down three stories, and the boards of these l cannot describe to you. for such have not been seen before. There is lot of metal work about them. too, but these also cannot describe. for it is so fine. There are children on board and flock of sheep and places to wash in attached to every place where a chief sleeps, such as even our king has never possessed. ."-I. London Strand Magazine
