Curious African Tribes
BY CAPT. G. H. sTIGAN.

The men of this (the Reshiat) and
the other tribes to the north of the
ONO River-Murule and Kerre-
carry about with them small wooden
pillows like miniature one-legged
stools, on which they sometimes sit.
The Reshiat can often be seen
standing on one leg, with the sole of
the .other foot resting behind the
knee-joint and knee, at right angles
to the body-an attitude which has
often been noted among Hamitic peo-
pie. The people that do this are
Somalis. Nasal, Rendile, Samburr,
Alui, Bari, Madi, and many other
non-Bantu people of Africa.
The Reshiat are the only Africans
i have yet met who make a practice
bf eating donkey-fesh, and the large
humber of these animals they breed
appear to be used for food only and
Tor no other purpose.

Coleridges Stick.

OF walking sticks there is no end.
We have heard of Mr.. Haldane's cor
dite one, and now we read of a stick
in the Guest collection at Christie's s
which belonged to the very last Bond
Street watchman. For interesting
sticks, however, the one which Cole
ridge was in the habit of losing, dur
ing his tramping days must take
first place. The philosopher was
never happy till he had got it back
He sent the crier round Here is
the cry, as noted by Mr.. Lucas in
one of his essays: Missing curious
walking stick On one side it dis
of which represent rising sun, and
the ears Turkish descendants; on the
other side is the portrait of the own
or in woodwork. Around the neck
is a Queen Elizabeth's ruff in tin.
All down it waves the line of beauty
in very ugly carving"
And then came the appeal and
warning note: "If any gentleman (or
LADY, has fallen in love with tho
above described stick and secretly
carried off the same he Cor she) is
hereby earnestly admonished to con-
quer a passion the continuance of
which must prove fatal to his (or
her) honesty. And II the said stick
has slipped into such a gentleman s
(or lady's) hand through inadvert-
ence he Cor she) is requested to
rectify the mistake with all conyen-
lent speed. God save the King!"
The stick came back!-London

Padding For the Census.

Throughout the length OF the Pa
cific Coast populous centres gathered
together all their suburbs as against
the coming count by the National
Government. And some of the work
accomplished has been almost phe-
nomenal. The West is out to make
a brave showing. Los Angeles has
taken in 10000 bewildered suburban
ties. including San Pedro, twenty-five
miles away. Ambitious Oakland has
taken in Berkeley and Alameda, miles
distant, until 1t now rivals San Fran
cisco in population. Portland, not to
be outdone, is taking " the whole
county. Tacoma the other day added
102 square miles to Its former 1877,
taking ip $1,000 new heads to oouut.

White Pleague War.

Altoona.-How tuberculosis is be-
ing successfully fought by the State
in the homes of the poor, and how
a general uplift in social and econo-
mic conditions of this class is being
accomplished, was told here by
Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dix
on at the annual dinner of the Church
Club of the Diocese of Harrisburg.
During the year of 1909 the
trained nurses of the State tu-
berculosis dispensaries made 3d.
061 visits to the home of Door
brought out by DR.. Dixon as to
these visits was that the nurse does
not confine herself simply to admin
istering to the wants of the sick;
she makes a study of the general
conditions of that home and strives
to better them. Her work is an i'm
portant factor in that broad sociologi-
cal study of tuberculosis which is a
fundamental part of the States cru
sade against this disease and indeed
against preventable diseases in gen.
eral.
Speaking of scientific medical re-
search work, DR.. Dixon said "Those
whose peculiar bent Of mind natural
ly inclines them to such labors should
be able to devote their whole lives
to it and the provision should be
made in our scheme of medical edu-
cation for the training of such men
and their support so that they may
not have to divide their time with
the exegencies of medical practice,
only uncongenial to them. On the
other hand the man who intends to
devote himself to the practice should
not be compelled to devote the prec-
ious hours of preparation to the
study of chemical and biologic nice
ties of which he WI. make no use
at the bedside"

Baby Wasted to a skeleton.

my little son, when about a year
come out on his face. had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.

A Prize Cow.

Census takers Of Long Island
have ideas which help them TO give
a good account of our property. An
enumerator called at the fine home
of William M. Baldwin, a manufac-
turer, in Garden City, and finding
none of the family there, proceeded
to gather information from visiting
relative.
Have they cow?" asked the
census man.
They do have a cow" was the
reply, but all / know about 1t is
that it gives good milk"
What would you say such a COW
was worth?'
Really, I haven't an idea"
Don't you suppose it is worth
about $200?"
81 shouldn't wonder"
So the Garden City COW has been
set down at 5000, which is as good
"a showing as Long islanders could
ask, considering the fact that the
prizewinning COW at the last Nine
ola fair sold for only $50, and cows
hre now selling for $65,-Brooklyn
