WHERE BITES ARE TREATED
Mission Dispensaries Cure Many AfrI-
cans Who Sustain All Manner OF
Dangerous Injuries.

Africans go to the mission dispen-
saries to be cured of bites from all
Of animals, and large num-
Der of them are cured. The common
est bites are from snakes, say a writer
in World Outlook. In Inhambane are
18 to 20 varieties of poisonous snakes,
some very deadly. whose bites mean
fight for life. Hyenas kill or carry
off hundreds Of children each year,
and most of those who are rescued
have terrible scalp wounds, as the
hyena carries q child by the head.
Other biting pests of the region are
lions. from whom few escape alive;
scorpions, very poisonous and fond OF
getting into beds; hypO flies, large
flies that in biting take huge pieces Of
flesh and cause great sWellings;
sharks, of which the bay is full.
But the most common, bite and
seemingly the hardest to heal, is the
human bit. The Africans when they
get angry use their teeth to good ad-
vantage. There is scarcely a morn
ing that several do not come to the
dispensary. One boy had his lower
lip bit off, and for him a new lip
was made.

FLOCK TO HER WITH GIFTS
Woman in Atlanta Used Slippers as q
Bait for Men Friends and Got
Many Presents In Return.

There was sharp young lady in At
lanta, who had 40 or more admirers.
For each of these she bought slippers,
all of the same pattern, which she had
an aged seamstreS. make up, says the
Augusta News. Meanwhile she kept
a pair for herself in the parlOr, where
she could have them on hand when
ever one of her lovers called. Of
course, each young man asked for
whom she was making such pretty Slip
pers. She would reply, with a be-
witching smile and half a wink: "Oh,
they're for a man friend Of mine"
Then each infatuated youth went off
to invest in a gift. Some bought
clothes. Some bought jewelry. One
bought furniture. In return, the girl
bestowed upon each of them a pair Of
slippers, worked by the seamstress and
footed by a Dutch shoemaker, at an
average cost of $2.65 a pair. The
presents from her admirers averaged
$40 per man.
TIE pair the girl worked herself, she
presented to a young dry goods clerk
in Augusta, to whom she was secretly
married. She afterward sold her pres
ents and had enough to start house
keeping.

HOW ESklMOS HUNT THE SEAL
Pursuers of Rich-Furred Animals
Sneak Up Close Enough to Shoot
Arrow Into Their Head.

Today the Eskimo method OF hunt
ing seals is a primitive calling I'M
proved to fine art, writes a natural
list. When a seal is discovered the di-
rection of the wind is at once noted.
Then the hunter keeping himself to,
the leeward Of the seal, walks up to
within about quarter of mile OF IT.
Beyond this he begins to crouch and
advances only when the seals head Is
down.
Now, as the seal is one of the most
wide-awake of animals and has the
habit Of throwing up its head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger, it follows that the Eskimo has
to be extremely alert If he would get
his SEAL When the seals head is down
upon the ice it's eyes are shut, and 1t
is said that in these brief intervals it
takes its sleep.
The hunter, by carefully watching
the seals movements, is able without
much difficulty to get within ABOUT 2UO
yards of it, but at closer quarters he
is obliged to employ other tactics. He
lies down at full length on the ice.
Then the real sport begins.
When the seals head is down the
hunter, who keeps a keen eye on his
prey, Is able to approach still nearer
by dragging himself forward on his ell
bows. This maneuvering continues for
some time, until the distance between
man and beast has been reduced to a
few yards.
When near enough to make a sure
shot, the Eskimo takes his bow and
arrow from his side and sends swift
shaft through the head of its outwitted
companion.

GUS suit that should interest the read
eEs of Flaubert's romance Of Carthage.
The action was brought by the niece of
Gustave Flaubert against the adapters
of "Salammbo" for the cinema.
FIaubert, It will be remembered,
finishes his novel with the mobbing
and death Of Mathos before the eyes
Of his mistress, who seems entirely
Indifferent to his fate. This would not
do for the film. The adapters not only
save the generals life, but ring. down
the curtain with the marriage Of the
lovers, who alive happily together ever
after" and have a multitude Of chill
dren to grace their old age.
This platonic and commonplace end

about the Caricaturing Of the story
that Flaubert,s literary executor felt
compelled to take the matter up, and
has apnealed to the courts for redress

no modern industry to lend it's stri-

three stream establishments for the
making of ice, the grinding of maize
