AFRICAN PYGMIES.

The African pygmies are not crea-
lures of fiction. They are small, but
very real beings, as many travellers
through the Congo forests can testify.
These human dwarfs are about four
feet in height sometimes taller), and
are generally understood to be exceed
ingly savage in disposition. What they
don't know about woodcraft is not
worth knowing, and to encounter them
In the dark tropical woods is dam
geroIs indeed. They live entirely by
hunting, their homes being sometimes
in the holes and caverns of the earth,
ana sometimes in the trees. They are
evidently in the lowest human stage,
about as near the animals as it is pos.
sible for human beings to be.

cooPs IN FIELDS FOR BABIES.

That necessity is the mother OF in
vention is shown by the hundreds OF
little buildings resembling chicken
coops which one may see scattered
over the wheat fields of Russia to
provide daytime homes for the babies
of the Russians who work in the wheat
fields. The Russian mothers are
obliged to take their babies to the fields,
and have built these little structures
of wood, covering them with canvas.
At noon and once in the morning and
in the afternoon the mothers visit
their children, leaving them alone for
the remainder of the day. The young
sters are apparently contented. and
remain in their little coops without a
cry, gazing through the slots at the
passers-by.

Too Deem for Men.

The fact is that women are un-
comfortable If they are not fashion
ably dressed, relates Katherine F.
Gerould in Atlantic. No man under
stands the subtle and complex sig
nificance of the phrase nothing to
wear''-witness the distressed but
utterly puzzled expression that over
spreads a mans face at the words.
He knows that his wife or his sister
looks charming in "the blue one" or
"the lace one" or ''the one with the
Jet" She has looked charming in it
often enough for him at last to iden-
tify it-and that, unless he is an ex-
ception to HIS sex, is very often. He
is cheerfully getting into his evening
coat for the fiftieth time. No won
der he does not realize that some
frock which, the f1rst time 1t was
worn, made for triumph, should, the
tenth time, make for humiliation.
But the most strong-minded woman
the woman who will, If necessary go
to the opera on a gala night in q
coat and skirt-at heart exonerates
the woman who so foolshly, for the
reason mentioned, stops at home.

MANUFACTURED MILK.

Cows are not numerous in Japan,
but the Japanese are fond of milk,
and to meet this demand in the face Of
a natural shortage they long ago put
their wits to work and evolved a prod
uct that the average person cannot
distinguish from the regular dairy ar
ticle.
The artificial milk is derived from
the sofa bean. The beans are first
soaked, then boiled in water. Present
ly the liquid turns white; sugar and
phosphate OF potash In proper quaint
ties are added, and the boiling con
tinued until substance the thickness
of molasses is obtained. This fluid
corresponds very accurately with or.

QUEER TRIO OF BIRDS
TRUMPETER, SECRETARY AND
kAMicHl ALL USEFUL.
Feathered Destroyers Of Snakes
Scorpions and other Noxlous crea-
lures That lnfest South Amer
lea and Southern Africa.

The trumpeter bird is the ragpicker
OF the woods and swamps OF Guiana,
where he is always at work at his
trade. with his stomach for a pack
and his bill for hook. He performs
q most useful but most extraordinary
service. devouring a perfect multitude
OF snakes, frogs. scorpions, spiders. liz
ards and the like creatures. But this
terrible bird can be made perfectly
tame.
On the Guiana plantations he may be
seen fraternizing with the chickens.
ducks and turkeys. accompanying them
In their walks, defending them from
their enemies. separating quarrelers
with strokes Of his bill. sustaining the
young and the feeble and waking the
echoes with his trumpet while he
brings home his flock at night.
The trumpeter is as handsome as he
is useful. Noble and naughty in his
aspect, he raises himself up, on his
long, yellow gathered legs and seems
to say. II am the trumpeter, the
scourge of the reptiles and the pro
tector OF the fiocks."
In southern Africa there is another
great exterminator Of reptiles, the
snake eater, or secretary bird, mag
nifcent creature that attacks the
largest serpents. making a shield OF
his wings and a sword of his beak
The name of secretary bird" is de
rived from the plumes projecting
backward from It's head. which lool
like quill pens carried behind ones
ear.
In South America, in the very neigh
borhood Of the trumpeter's home, there
lives the Kamichi or Kamiki, which
wears a sharp horn projecting from
its forehead and a murderous spul
upon each OF it's wings. With these
three weapons the serpents that he at
tscks are powerless against him an'
are easily put to death.
The secretary bird, the Kamichi ant
the trumpeter form valiant and use
full trio. The trumpeter has two mer
its above the others-the ease witt
which he can be domesticated and hi
musical talent.
The natives have a saying that b
has swallowed cornet. Whethe

the air with his trumpet calls. and 2

FACTS ABOUT SUICIDE
sAxONY LEADS IN NUMBER AND
IRELAND is LAST.
Self-Murder Far More Prevalent
Among Men Than Among Women
Former Seem to Prefer Hang
ing and Latter Drowning.

Modern conditions in all countries
are such that the subject Of suicide
must occasionally come under discus
sion in every community of any size
Not that suicide is of modern origin.
for history shows that it occurred In
very ancient times, but those who
have made study of the subject
maintain, any probably with reason, I.
that the highly organized conditions OF
modern society and the social abnor-
malities and nerve disturbances incl
dent thereto, promote and strengthen
the suicidal tendency. This may be
mere theory, but statistics do show
that 1t is more prevalent in some
countries than in others. Statistics
covering a term of years show that
during the entire period of observa-
ton Ireland had the fewest annual
number of suicides. seventeen to the
million of inhabitants, and Saxony, the
largest number, 392 to the million.
Denmark showed 251 per annual to the
million inhabitants; Switzerland, 239,
France $50, Belgium 100, England and
Wales rs. The Swiss people are COM
monty supposed to be happy and COM
paratively free from care, and it seems
strange that the average suicide rate
should be several hundred per cent.
greater in Switzerland than in Ire
land.
On another point statistics are more
conclusive, for they show that in all
countries the proportion of suicides is
three or four men to one woman, and
ifhot continues from
year to year. The fair inference would
seem to be either that men are more
= subject to the suicidal tendency than
women or else that they yield to 1t
, more readily. Either supposition opens
a field for biological and metaphysical
speculation. Anther curious fact dis
closed by the statistics is that suicide
is much more common among Protest
ant than amongst Roman Catholic
communities, while Jews have small
er suicide rate than Roman Catholics.
| 1t is also demonstrated that self-mur-
der, as suicide is styled by Christian
1 ethics and law, is more common among
the educated than the illiterate class
es, and more prevalent in city than
in rural districts. These facts might
be accounted for on the theory that
educated people are more sensitive to
misfortune than the illiterate, and thu
nervous strain of city life greater thar
that of country life. The suicide rate
is higher in certain occupations anC
professions than in others. 1t is higl
among soldiers and doctors.
AS to the modes of suicide they ar
found to vary but slightly in differen
countries. Hanging is the most com
mon among males; then drowning
firearms, knife cuts and poison. In thu
order named. With women differen
order prevails, viz, first drowning
then poison, hanging and knife cut
and firearms.

THE PROGRESS OF MAN.

The whole progress OF the human
race has indeed been due to individual
members discovering means of con-
centrating energy and of Transforming
one form into another, says Sir Will
liam Ramsey. The carnivorous ami
mails strike with their paws and crush
with their teeth; the first man who
aided his arm with a stick in strik-
Ing a blow discovered how to concen-
trate his small supply of kinetic en-
ergy; the first man who used a spear
found that it's sharp point In motion

BAR TWENTY-sIx MILES LONG.

Inquiries were made of the auditor
for Lewis county by the Oregon-Wash-
ington Railroad and Navigation COM
pany regarding the price of license
permitting it to sell liquor on it's trains,
and the question arose as to whether
the railroad must take out a separate
license for each train, or If one would
be sufficient.
Auditor. Swofford ruled that the rail-
road would be required to take out q
license for bar 26 miles long, that be-
ing the length OF the company's line
across the county. This would allow
the railroad the right to sell liquor on
any part of its right of way.-Centralia

Tho Turkish Army.

Every Mahammedan subject in
Turkey is liable to service, and re-
mains liable for 25 years. At Il the
young Turk enters the active army,
the Nizam, and remains in It for three
years. He must serve six years In
the reserve, called the Tchtrad, and
after this he remains nine years in
the army reserve, called the Redif,
which resembles the German Land
wehr. This reserve has a second line
called the Mustafis. in which the cit
lien liable to service is finally en-
rolled.
Every year produces about 100000
men liable to service and OF this num-
Der 10000 are enrolled as recruits
The remainder, that is to say, the
least effective, are given drill. and
they may perhaps be compared with
the extra reservists of the first class
in Germany. They finally find their
way into the Redif. Altogether, Tur.
key can place a million men In the
field, and as far as material is con
cerned, German officers who have IN
structed Turkish troops declare that
there is not an army in the world that
would not rejoice to get such men.

BIRDS IN ARCTIC REGION.

Birds go to the arctic regions to
rear their young because of the lavish
abundance of food provided there
Seed-eating birds find an abundant
supply of cranberries, crowberries and
other ground fruits which remain
frozen all winter, while insect-eating
birds have only to open their mouths
to fill them with mosquitoes. The
conditions in Siberia and Alaska are
identical, the open season for birds
being a period of four months dura
ton In each.
