CRiM WEST AFRICA
Country of Heat and Horror" to
 White Man.
"I British West Coast Colonies Hold i'm.
 mense Wealth and Secrets Which ] Defy Modern Science.

! W, Alan Lethbridge, in his book, West Africa" gives a clear and in teresting account of the West Coast colonies as they are today, of their "heat and horror" of their immense wealth, and of their strange medical problems. Wounds in the white man will not heal there and no white child may be born. Nor has the secret of tropical fever been mastered, though Sierra Leone is no longer "the white mans grave"
 He has some grim stories to tell one, which is new, of the haunted castle at Elmina, where no one sleeps without a qualm. It appears that party of three men and one woman were playing bridge very keenly in !. the tropical night: "Of a sudden the lady put her hands to her eyes, as though dazzled. Asked if anything were the matter she denied anything wrong and continued playing. Then again she clapped her hands to her eyes, gave an exciamatiOnT and fainted dead away" What she had seen she could not or would not say but the tradition is that a headless woman walks the castle.
 /" Nor does MT! Lethbridge reject the power of native magic. He vouches for one strange story: That at point in the Niger delta in a hut near a store were number of native workers, under medical supervision. Their headman said it was mo good place" "One morning a Kroo boy was re- ported dead; post-mortem revealed no apparent cause of death. Next . morning two men had departed this life and again post-mortems revealed nothing. On the third morning four men were dead and there was some thing like a panic"
 All the men were at once removed and a fresh batch brought up to be placed in 'the same sinister house. They, too, died In the same mysteri ous way, and 1t was decided to burr down the hut "Then something fel to the ground and was seized by tho headman who rushed up to the doctor shouting, Here be plenty bad thing sah Fit to kill all men, sah ]! He helC at arms length two human fingel bones which had been tied togethel with a bit of native twine in the shap' of rough cross" /.
 When this ju-ju was disposed of tn deaths ceased. The Niger delta Is no a place for lonely white men to talk walks in the gloaming, an instance 1 mentioned of one "youngster" who di' so and 1.-two days later his mutilate' corpse was found waterlogged in tn sinister mangrove swamp" Nor Is it

The following application for em- ployment was received by Shanghai hong from a student in the Shanghai college:
 "Nothlng is of less importance than thes age of a person; nevertheless, 1t is proper to begin that I am in my twenty-f1rst year. Having firing am- bition to do some service in the busi- ness world, I grasp this opportunity to insert myself into the sphere. It is true that many are now wandering idly in the market awaiting employ ment. But it Is true to the same ex- tent that many of these, if not all, are good for nothing. To take notice upon them, or to put some duty upon them is to give gun powder to children as a plaything. The danger can be imag- ined.
 "I am now going to give some ac- count of my personal abilities. It IS not too much to say that my knowl- edge of English can hardly be repre- sented to the full color by such little adjective as thorough It is excep- tionally excellent, to be outspoken AS to the art of typewriting, my hands go on as smoothly as to skate on ar icy river.

TO MAKE HEADWiY IN LIFE
conseerate and Concentrate, Ia the Advice Given by Writer In
 Forbes Magazine.

You want to make headway in the world, Of course. See if this thought can help you: First, consecrate your self to your calling; then concentrate. The lives of most men of notable achievement have been characterized by consecration and concentration! Be fore one can consecrate oneself, one must be possessed by some bigger and broader and better idea than mere money making. There must be some thing in the work that appeals to one. The work must appear to be worth while, worth effort and industry and sacrifice. You could not, for exam pie, conceive of anyone consecrating himself to "bootlegging." There isn't one honest calling, however, to which a worker could not consecrate him- self or herself If animated by the right spirit. Having consecrated oneself to a line of endeavor, then concentration must follow if proficiency and success. are to be attained.
 The worker, be he employee or em- ployer, who hasn't consecrated him. self to his calling fails to derive from it that deep satisfaction known to. those who have consecrated themselves to their jobs. Concentration follows consecration naturally and with joy rather than hard effort.-Forbes Mag azine. .as..

"Said 1t with Milk"

Last year I started going with a farmer boy whose motto was not Say it with flowers, candy or music" h. stead, it seemed to be, Say 1t with milk" Fresh milk was very hard to get in the town where we lived, so every time that he came to see me he would bring two mason fruit jars full of milk and present them to me with d grin from ear to ear. It was all right, until some of my friends found it out and began to tease me about 1t. This was more than I could stand, but we surely did miss the milk-Chicago Journal.

BETTER THAN ALL MEDICINE
Oysters Put Artemus Ward on His Feet When Every Other Remedy
 Had Proved a Failure.

When Artemus Ward and Dr. Hing ston, who acted as his manager on his western lecture tour, arrived in Salt Lake City, after that amusing and successful visit to California, the be- loved humorist fell sick. So badly was he, after his arduous rounds of the Pacific coast and his strenuous days in Virginia City, New, with Mark Twain and Bill Nye, that his life was despaired of.
 The lecture Artemus had arranged with Brigham Young to give in the theater, had to be postponed. In fact, so hopeless seemed the case that Dr. Kingston even tried to arrange to have the body of his friend and partner transported to the East on the stage coach. But the optimism of Artemus brought him back to safety again, a very thin and weak man. ........
 But before he was allowed to leave his room, .Artemus had difficulty gain Ing sufficient strength even to walk. From Brigham Young to the least humble of the Mormon saints" atten- dons in the form Of fresh eggs 1ellies and other helpful dellcacies were showered upon the convalescent. Ar temus enjoyed everything, but nothing seemed to give him strength.
 At last a food was discovered in local grocery, so we are told, that lifted him from his couch." This was nothing more or less than a dozen cans of Baltimore oysters, put up in squares of block tin. The first oyster stew Init the spot" and Artemus chirped up:
 "Get out the bills for the lecturel See Mir. Clawson and arrange for the date. The show is safe enough, now we've got on an oyster basis."--Mark Stuyvesant in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SPOTLIGHT ON SYRIAN LIFE
Writer Gives an Insight Into His Life as Small Boy in That Little
 Known Country.

The roads were open. Travellers came into our village. Scarcely night was the gnest house in our court yard unOccupied. I liked to sit with my father and his guests in this room built after European style with four large windows aver which in winter oiled paper was passed to keep the cold out. The walls of the guest room were white and on them were hung the choicest rugs brought back from Kurdistan by my Grandfather Mirza.
 There were chairs in this room. was very proud that we should own chairs, but I found them most uncom- fOrtable to sit on. After few mo- ments my legs began to ache and l slipped down on the cushions. In the alcove of the guest chamber were some old manuscripts bound in course leather. They were holy books with H. luminated margins. Among them was a Bible in Syriac. I carefully -refrained from touching it. It was too holy. l might perhaps be struck dead for my temerity.
 . Among the travellers that came along the road was Hady, the singer. He was the ugliest man that l had ever seen, sore-eyed, pock-marked and dirty. But he was very wise. His ivory han dled dagger in it's silver sheath was so long that it reached from his chest to his hips. My playmates and l would have laughed and jeered at him, per haps, it he had not carried this dag ger.-Youel B. Mirza in Asia Maga- zine
