Warifke African Tribe.

The Nasal are the most arrogant
and Warlike tribe of all the native
tribes Of Africa and, man for man,
they are possibly the wealthiest peo-
pie in the world. Their wealth has
been acquired by waging ruthless war
on all the other tribes In the vicinity
and appropriating their worldly goods,
which are chiefly in the form of huge
herds. But, with all their warlike
tendencies, they have never risen
against the white man. Scarcely 10000
In number, they held sway for genera.
tons over millions Of their more
peaceful neighbors.
The Nasal are the exact reverse Of
vegetarians, for they live on nothing
but meat, considering everything
grown in the earth as despicable food,
fit for monkeys, but not for men. Their
favorite drink Is secured by tapping
the large vein in the neck of an OK
and drawing off a quantity of his
blood, which is sometimes drunk
mixed with milk and sometimes
straight" The OK Is also their chief
food.

The story Is often told Of the great
naturalist, Cuvier, that given a sin
gle bone he could reconstruct the an
imal to which it belonged. That q
somewhat similar law Of organization
runs through the various species that

is indicated By curious case Of scien
tif1c prediction, to which attention
was called at recent meeting of the
Biological society in this country.

ute animals called diatoms, found that
many species were distinguished by
the number of rays they possessed.

he had he could find bone having re

dicted that the missing species would

IMMENSE ROOKERY IN LAKE
Birds Find Sanctuary on Island on
Which Hunters Are Forbidden
to Set Foot

Set in the middle Of Great Salt lake
Is Hat island, u acres in area, one Of
the most densely populated rookeries
in the world. Its official name is due
to its shape, but it is more Familiarity
known to westerners as Bird island.
Seagulls and pelicans live there. The
Island is literally covered with them,
and since hunters are not permitted
to disturb the fowls, visitors expert
ence no difficulty in walking about
among them and observing their habits.
The birds have established their roosts
among the rocky formations Of the is
land, which is surrounded by salt
water more dense than that of the
ocean. The highest point is about 100
feet above the surface Of the lake.
The strangest sight on the island
is the flock of young pelicans. They
walk about like a drove of sheep
One acts as leader and the rest fol-
low. Large bodied, clumsy birds they
are, scarcely able to waddle out Of
the way when one approaches.
AS evening approaches one may look
out over the lake, far to the north
east, and see a cloud of tiny specks
1t is the adult pelicans returning home
from the mouth of the Jordan river, or
from the Great Bear river 80 to 70
miles away. They are laden with fish
for their young ones. The pouches
under their beakS are filled with fresh
water fish.

Prove That He Could Enjoy

1t is told of Oliver Cromwell the
English leader and soldier, that he
had great love of fun, which he
would indulge often at the expense of
others, according to the impulse of
the moment. An example of this trait
Is shown in the following incident,
Cromwell had very beautiful daugh-
ter, and at the time he came into
power in England one of his attend
ants took fancy to this young lady.
One day Cromwell went into his
daughters room and was surprised to
see his page on his knees making
declaration of his love to his daughter.
what does this mean?" demanded
Cromwell.

mered the frightened page, II am In
love with yonder waiting maid"-
pointing to her as he spoke-"and I
have been beseeching Your daughter
to usa her influence in my behalf"
"Are you willing" said Cromwell to
the waiting maid ito have this fellow
for your husband?"

"Well, then" said Cromwell. Wen

ExULT WHEN FOX is KILLED
English Farmers Cad to Contribute

emy OF Hen Roosts.

1t is no uncommon sight in the coun'

CARRYING Il fox-dead, Of course-in his
arms, and calling with it on farmers
and landowners in the nelghborhood.

He usually conveys it to the back
door and displays it proudly to- any
one who will listen to him; then, nav
ing described graphically what fierce
and destructive animal the fox was
before his death, he begs for small
gift Of money.
The custom is very ancient and Is
called in many parts of England, beg
cling the fox The idea is this: Foxes,
especially in nominating districts, are
one of the farmers greatest enemies,
and the knowledge that one of these
creatures has been destroyed-espe-
cially the female foX-is indeed good
news to the farmer. AS a conse-
quence, should any poor cottager be
fortunate enough either to shoot or to
trap a fox, he carries his victim for
miles round the countryside and dis
plays it.
He expects a reward from each
farmer he visits and is very seldom
disappointed. The gifts vary from
sixpence to as much as shillings, and
one day on the road begging the fox
can easily yield the lucky laborer 4 or
pounds.
The skin is also, of course, his own
property, and for this he can some
times secure as much as % shill1ngs

FALc0NRY AN ANCIENT SPORT
Amusement, praeticed In East, Can Be
Traced TO Period That Antedates
Era of Christianity.

Faiconry, the art of training fai.
cons and hawks to the chase, has been
traced back to a period before the
Christian era. It was practiced in tho
East and also In Europe long before its
Introduction into England. The English
kings used to amuse themselves with
this sport, which was for a long time
the leading amusement, such as base
ball is IN America today.
Falconers use two kinds of birds

the short-winged yellow-eyed hawks

CHINESE. NOW CLAIM HONOR
addhist Priests Said to Have Discov.
cred America Long Before
Day Of Columbus.

Legends common to the literature
Of both China and Japan relate that
about the year 400 Hwui Shan, a
Buddhist missionary, in company with
five brother priests, found a land
many miles to the eastward of China
which he named Fusang. They sailed
along the Chinese coast to Kamchat-
ka and thence along the Aleutian is
lands to Alaska. The description of
the peoples they found fits the Aleuts
and the Eskimos as they are today.
From Alaska, which they called
Great Han. they sailed along the coast
to Fusang. Hwuai Shan describes the
dwellings made of blocks Of sun-dried
mud, which housed many people, a
description which fits the pueblos Of
ancient America. He mentions a plant
used in making cordage and paper,
which afforded vegetable milk and
which yielded tender edible sprouts.
The maguey plant also answers this
description.
He also describes a plant and its
fruit which is the species of cactus
commonly known as the prickly pear.
From the Chinese records, therefore,
Fusang was very like Mexico.
A few years ago the Chinese gov
eminent directed its historian to make
search Of the imperial records, and
from them came the foregoing &C
count.

ORIGIN of Poika-Dot.

Silyered with the dust Of decades is
the polka-dot pattern In mems scarfs.
Fashions may appear and disappear,
but the polka-dot is peerless and dis
appearless, AS regularly as sunrise
and the seasons, this design brightens
windows and wearers. It Is one-and-
invisible with the fine art Of dress
alike in America and England.
To the polka-dot is ascribed an odd
ancestry. Its name, Of course, is de-
lived from the polka, an old-fashioned
round dance with three steps to the
measure. This dance, introduced in
Europe by Bohemian, round about
1885, spread to the United States at
the time that Polk was a candidate for
the presidency. The polka-dot was
bracketed with Folks name by politi-
cal admirers, and polka-this and polka
that, from shirts to shoes, became q
bit of furore In merchants windows.

FOLLOW QUEER OLD CUSTOM
Good Friday Ceremonies That Have
Foundations ia Charity Are Still
Maintained in London.

One of the queerest customs to be
seen in the queer Old city of London
is observed on morning of Good Fri
day, when q widows of the parish

pences, fresh from the mint, from a

receive as many hot-cross buns.

days, M. have laughed at the con-
tinuance of q custom the origin of
which nobody understands, not even
the generous-ttearted gentleman who
hands out the sixpence and the buns,
or the thankful ladies who receive
them.
The custom is 'ropt in mistry," as
Mr.. Yellowplush would say, but it goes
on year by year. One story is that
lady who passed away in the earlier
years of the Reformation. anyic1s that
masses should be said for her, and
