The Congo Dwarfs-In certain re-
spects the great Congo forest Of west
ern Central Africa is the most wonder
full region in the world. There are
ape-like- negroes and curious little
Congo dwarfs. These dwarfs are less
than five feet high, and their behavior
is strangely like that Of the brownies
and goblins found in fairy stories,
Their remarkable power of becoming
invisible by adroit hiding behind herb
age and rocks; their habit of making
a home in holes and caverns; their
mischievousness and good nature, all
seem to suggest that it was some such
race as this which inspired legendary
stories of little race having super
natural attributes.
These dwarfs are good or bad neigh
bors to the ordinary natives, accord
ing to the treatment they receive. If
their depredations on the banana
groves, or their occasional thefts OF
tobacco or maize are ignored, or even
if small gifts of food are left where
they may easily find them, they will
leave in their nightly visitations re-
turn gifts of meat or skins and ivory
These pygmies live entirely by hunt
ing. although they eat wild honey as
well as meat. They live separately, in
tiny huts four feet high.
Although they are in some respects
quite near the apes in their physical
characteristics, they are more clever
than the larger egroes.-Harper's
Weekly.

THE LAND OF CHEESE.
Switzerland Has the Proud Honor oi
Deserving This Title.

Deserving This Title.
Cheese, although an important pro-
duct of our dairy farms and a rea-
sonably popular article Of diet in the
United States, has never held quite
the position with us given it in some
European countries.
English and Germans are fal
greater consumers Of cheese than we
while both are surpassed by Norwe-
gians. But above all, Switzerland is
the land of cheese. On more thar
one occasion travellers have dwelt up
on the functions. social and senti'
mental, as we'll as astronomical
performed by the cheese Of Zermatt-
that remarkable cheese which is sc
hard that it has to be scraped with
knife or cleft with an ak.
1t is said by one authority that the
patrician rank of a Swiss family ir
that part of the confederation is es'
timated by the age of its cheese, and
the greater the respect due to or the
affection for guest the older is the
cheese set before him. There are
said to be families who own cheese
that dates back to the time of the
first French revolution. which /:
served only on solemn OCCASIONS, sucf
as christenings. weddings or funerals
There are in each pantry at least
as many cheeses as there are boy'
and girls in the family. for at the
birth of every child cheese is made
which is named after the newcomer
and is first cut into on his or hel
wedding day, on which festive oc
casion all guests partake Of a piece

on any topic. Betty was left wonder

they met again asked If the stage

Barony. and which. among a multi

erns, gave the runnings of all the reg

and steamers, by which one could
travel over the length and breadth of
the land.

Darlington.
Betty shook her head. mo. 1 am

knew this, or else she might think his

Betty exclaimed: "Why, 1 am 60

Are you? BY canal TO Cumber-
land. and then by stage over the Ma
tional road to Wheeling?"
Betty nodded. 1T makes one wish
they'd finish their railroads, doesn't
it? Do you suppose they'll ever get
as far west as Memphis?" she said.
"They say it is going to be bad for
the river trade when they're built on
something besides paper" answered
Darlington. And I happen to be a
fiatboatman. Miss Malroy."
why, how did you learn my
name?" she asked.
"Oh, 1 heard your friends speak it."
he answered glibly. But Betty's
smooth brow was puckered thought
fully. She wondered II he had-and
II he hadn't It was very odd GER
tainly that he should know it.

river men typified all that was reck-

as Natchez. But this particular river
man looked harmless. "Carrington is
my name Miss Malroy," he added.
No more was said just then. for
Betty became reserved and he did not
attempt to resume the conversation.
A day later they rumbled into Wash
ington, and as Betty descended from
the coach, Darlington stepped to her
side.
Il suppose you'll stop here, Miss
Malroy?" he said, indicating the tav-
ern before which the stage had come
to a stand.
Yes" said Betty, briefly.
"If 1 can be of any service to you
-" he began, with just a touch of
awkwardness in his manner.
NO, 1 thank you, Mr.. Carrington,'
said Betty quickly.
Goodnight. .good-by," he turned
away, and Betty saw his tall form dis
appear in the twilight.

good company. He would sit the long
est at the table of any man present;
he was at his best around the festive
board.
Il was particularly active in plan
ming the dinner and extending invita-
tons to it. The afternoon of the
great day / sent message to Thack-
eray's hotel to tell him that I would
meet him there at certain hour that
evening and escort him to the feast.
Pretty soon the messenger was back
with the startling information that
Mr.. Thackeray was no longer stop
ping at the hotel.
Much perturbed, I hastily made
my way thither, and upon inquiry at
the desk, learned to my great aston
ishment that Thackeray that very
morning had suddenly signified his in
tention of terminating his stay there,
had his luggage packed, paid his bill
and departed in carriage. Gone
where?' 1 asked. And the proprietor
gave it as his opinion that the distin-
guished novelist had sailed for Eu-
rope but a few hours since.
GAS quickly as I could l went to

had sailing that day. Yes, Mr.
Thackeray had arranged for accom-.
modations just an hour or so before
sailing time. and had barely caught
the steamer. No, he had not left any
message. Nor had he left at the hotel
or anywhere else any message for me
or any one else interested in honoring
him at the dinner. He had departed
for Europe unceremoniously, and, ap-
parently, in most discourteous man
ner.
"Of course the dinner, minus the
guest of honor, was fiat failure. At
it, and for some time after, Curtis and
l were asked to explain Thackeray's
curious conduct. We didn't even try
to offer an explanation-to us his con-
duct was inexplicable. But weeks later
I made some inquiries and was told
that Thackeray, the morning of the
festive day, was overwhelmed all OF
sudden with feeling of homesick-
ness, and learning that a steamship
was to sail that day, decided on the
instant to take passage by it to Eng
land Perhaps that was the true
cause of his departure. But if it was

and moods, and that may explain
much that so many persons regarded
as mysterious or eccentric about

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not
Patent Medicines the
Cause.

New York.-Blame for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders of
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail Of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or it's salts except
upon doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric and at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board Of
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning its passage. Caswell Mayo
one of the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail Of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. Of the victims Of
drugs formed the habit as result of
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only 8 per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

rival, and as they gazed on the little
dumpy man with the great head, the
great shock of hair and the large, cav
ernous eyes laundering forth at them
from the speakers stand, many were
the comparisons they drew between
him and the tall, gaunt, loose-jointed
rail-splitter most of them had seen and
heard speak in the same town few
months earlier.
Yet for all the diminutiveness Of
stature, Douglas held the close atten-
ton of the great gathering throughout
his entire speech. My boyhood recol-
lection of that speech is that it was a
superb political and oratorical effort,
but the impression that it made on me
was slight compared with the effect
caused by the impromptu postscript to
the speech itself His peroration de-
livered with all that power of oratory
which he possessed to a superlative
degree, Douglas paused for a moment
and smiled expectantly into the sea of
upturned faces before him.
"And now that 1 have had the priv

A mighty shout greeted this unex-
pected tribute to a much-loved native
institution. Then they took the Little
Giant to a place which had been pre-
pared for him and Toasted him. And
when he had had surfeit he sighed
contentedly, beamed upon the gentle
men gathered about him in the tent

said: "Now, gentlemen, | shall go on

Inconsistencies Caused Him to Sail
Suddenly Without Word to
Friends Who Were Planning
Big Dinner for Him.

When William Makepeace Thack
cray visited the United States for the
second and last time, in 1855, to de.
liver his lecture entitled 1.-The Four
Georges" the two Americans who
were closest to him during his stay
were Parke Goodwin, publicist and son.
dn-law of William Cullen Bryant, and
George William Curtis.
The intimacy which we enjoyed
with Thackeray was due to the fact
that be made his headquarters while
In this country at the old Putnam s
Magazine office, with which both Mr.
Curtis and myself were connected, y
explained Mr.. Goodwin few years be-
fore his death. Sometimes Curtis
and myself were enthusiastically
agreed that Thackeray was the most
delightful, lovable and companionable
man we had ever met. But, probably,
Just when we had arrived at this de-
c1sion. Thackeray would be brusque
and apparently cold toward us, and
there would be decided traces of
cyn1cism or contempt in his nature.
Frankly, though we tried hard, and
had rare opportunities to do so, we
never fully understood him. l think,
myself, that he was /. man of moods,
or else he sometimes suffered from
1ll-health, which he bore uncomplain-
1ngly, although his relations with his
fellow men were affected by his phys
1cal suffering.
"Thackeray, to the personal knowl-
edge of Curtis and myself, did many
strange things while he was in the
country, but the most astonishing of
all his acts was the manner in which
he left America and his best friends
here. It WIS particularly embarrass-
ing to me; and it was an act that had
every outward aspect of cold and pur-
posed discourtesy.
after making a. successful lecture
trip through the south, if l remember
correctly, Thackeray returned to New
York flushed with his success, and, in
that happy spirit, sent us word that
he would be with us for two or three
days before departing to fulfil some
lecture engagements in another Sec
ton of the country. We were so re-
joiced over his success and his pres
ence in the city that we arranged for
a dinner in his honor, and Thackeray,
when he learned of our plan, was par
ticularly delighted Nothing pleased

Little Giant Nightly Pleased the Peo-
pie of Norwich, Conn.,, by His
Tribute to the Native
Institution.

Stephen A. Douglas, known from one
end of the land to the other in the
days of his popularity as the Little
Giant" was the first candidate for the
presidency to take the stump in his
own behalf. His determination to make
a personal campaign for the presi-
dency was not entirely to the liking
of the conservative politicians of 1860,
but have been told that he excused
his action by saying that Lincoln made
his campaign for the same Office, es-
pecially in the east, before he was
nominated and that it was vital that
some one in authority should reply to
Lincoln in that section of the country,
there having been no opportunity for
this to be done until after the presi-
Dental nominations had been made.
However that may be, l know per-
sonally that the Little Giant" gladly
accepted an invitation to speak to his
countrymen at Norwich, Conn, the
home town of William A. Bucking-
ham, who little later became one of
the great war governors of the north
"a town where Lincoln, in February
of the same year, made an address
which many persons said later saved
Connecticut to the Republican party
in the ensuing state election by the
narrow majority Of SAL.
Great preparations were made for
the Little Giants appearance in the
old town. In Difference to his wishes
for meeting in the open-the usual
type of political gathering in the west
"a large common was selected for the
scene of the rally, booths were set up
to purvey lunch, consisting principally
of oyster soup, and it was arranged
that there should be a characteristic
New England clambake at the end of
the speechmaking.
1t turned out to be gala occasion.
The farmers flocked in from miles
around to see and hear Lincoln's great
