SOME SURE THINGS.
Do Not Bet on Your Ability to Per-
form These Feats.

form I nSSG CdlSs
Bets to be avoided by those who are
cocksure they can do all things are
those relating to athletic feats. 1t
would seem that a good runner could
easily give a start OF fifty yards in a
hundred to a man who was doing the
fifty yards by hopping on one leg. But
few runners, If any, can afford to give
that amount of start to any man who
is at all strong on his legs, For the
first FIVE yards or so they go at prac-
tically the same pace. so that TO run
ninety-fve yards while his opponent
is hopping forty-five he has to go more
than twice as fast, and it Is a weak
man indeed who cannot hop fifty
yards in ten seconds.
An ordinary wooden match is easily
broken in the fingers. but, although
there are many who will bet they can
do 1t, none succeed in accomplishing
the task if the match is laid across the
nail of the middle finger Of either hand
and pressed upon by the first and third
fingers Of that hand. despite its seem
ing so easy at first sight.
No one can crush an egg placed
lengthwise between his clasped hands
that is, if the egg be sound and has
the ordinary shell Of a hens egg.
1t is safe to bet man that he can
not get out of chair without bending
his body forward or putting his feet
under it if he is sitting on 1t, not at
the edge Of it.
Another equally certain wager is
that a man cannot stand at the side
of a room with both of his feet touch
ing the wainscoting lengthwise.
It is safe to bet any man, save one
who is blind, that he cannot stand
for five minutes without moving If he
is blindfolded.

MEAT IN AFRICA.
When the Native Butcher Purposes
Killing an CyI He Sends Around
Notice to the White People.

Travellers in Africa find the standard
Of living somewhat different from
what they are accustomed to at home.
Mary Hall in her book, "a Woman's
Trek From the Cape to Cairo" throws
q strong light upon the condition Of
market and kitchen in British Central
Africa:
When the native butcher proposes to
kill an OK, notice to that effect is sent
round to the white people on the pre-
vious day. Once they were apprised
Of the fact by the following startling
announcement: "a bule will be muir
dered tomorrow morning at 6 a. m"
This cold blOoded crime, so carefully
premeditated. even TO the exact hour,
was, however, not committed, as the
next morning a second notice was is
sued as follows: The bule ran away
this morning, so was not murdered" /"
But this was an exceptional case.
| heard one story which is so char
acteristic of the native that / repeat it.
The man who related it told me that
the incident occurred when he was on
a journey and was suffering from a
bad attack Of fever. One evening he
fancied he would like some eggs and
told his boy to get two and boil them
lightly.
After a time they were brought TO
him as hard as bullets. He told the
boy he must get some more and boil
them less; but, alas. these were brought
to him in the san condition, and the
poor fellow wished be had never or
dered them at all.
Being unwilling to give in. be made
another attempt and told his boy,
Come to me when the water boils."
The boy did so.
"Now," said his master, 'put the
eggs in, and when you have counted
fifty take them out"
The native method Of reckoning is to
count up TO ten and then begin again.
arriving at the total by the number OF
the tens counted. The sick man heard
the boy start fair and get as far as
four tens. when a second boy inter
fered and questioned whether 1t were
the third or fourth ten.
This started a discussion, and as
they could not agree 1t was decided
to begin all over again. Meanwhile
the eggs were still boiling and getting
harder and harder. This was about
the last straw, and. i'll as the man
felt, he was compelled to get out OF
bed and put summary end TO the
cooking operations.
