Cortona Afr'ran Cmtomi. vAmuug the human sacrifices of the delta of the Niger, says Count de Cardl, young girls occupj- the most honored place. They are at regular periods offered up to the gods, and Instead of shrinking from this horrible doom they accept it with pride and gratitude. Nothing Is refused to these girls while they are alive. If one of them sees a handsome dress or ornament on a woman and expresses a desire to have It, the woman must give it to her. Men are also sacrificed, though not .for religious reasons, and they Welcome death as eagerly as the girls. Count de Cardl once tried to save one of these victims, but instead of thanking him, the man reviled him so bitterly for Interfering and scolded the bystanders so heartily for delaying to carry out the sentence that they promptly stopped his mouth by killing him. lhe worst insult which one woman can offer to another Is to hold out the fight band in front of her with the index and middle finger forming the letler \. This means, “Y’ou will become the mother of twins.” When twins are "<ru in this region, they and their mothers are killed, as a rule, and when • mother dies in giving birth to a child >e latter Is also killed and burled with p f- It Is not superstition which impels the negroes to dispose of motheress Infants In this heartless fashion, ’in the great difficulty of rearing them, -•together, the Information which °Ut>t de Cardl has gathered during ts residence of many years In this portion of Africa Is of rare value, espec‘slly to anthropologists.

An Italian Consul's Views. Kansas City. July 30.—JeromeFedelia, Italian vice consul in Kansas City was greatly shocked when he learned of the assassination of King Humbert. ’'King Humbert was greatly beloved by his people." said Mr. Fedeli, "au<l I cannot conceive why any one but a crank or an anarchist should wish to take his life.

Horses in Battle. One cf the most curious sights to be seen in a cavalry charge is the various riderless horses galloping in the line In j perfect order. At the charge ot Balaklava the front rank of one regiment was composed to a great extent of rldI erless animals, their masters having dropped one by one. It would seem | that in the excitement of the moment, the horses lose all conception of what is happening around them and proba- I bly fail to notice the fall of their rid-1 era. The return of riderless horses to' camp is an almost certain sign of defeat. When a cavalry charge Is successful. the horses will, as I have said, | all keep up together, even though they have lost their riders, but when a force is routed the first news of ill omen to those in the rear will be the return of the horses with empty saddles and stirrups dangling free. No more sorry sight can lie imagined. Tn illustrate the callous feeling these animals have i under fire a case which happened at Ladysmith during the siege may be I cited. A farrier sergeant was engaged in shoeing an officer’s horse in the open ground behind the stables of a hotel and had already put one or two nails into the shoe when a shell came screaming through the air. The next moment the missile burst five or six yards away from where the sergeant and the horse were standing, and the splinters flew around both, but failed to touch either. When the smoke bad cleared, the horse was to be seen with its foot still in the man's apron, quite undisturbed by the incident. — Pearson’s Magazine. Bnylng n Fan In Spain, This is how a Spanish senorita bar ; gains for tier fan. according to Miss ; Katharine Lee Bates, who spent some | time In Spain studying the people and customs of that sunny clime: There is nothing sordid about it. Her haggling is a social condescension that at once puts the black eyed young salesman at her. mercy. “But the fan seems to me the least bit dear, seuor!” He shrugs his shoulders and flings out his arm in protest “Ah. senorita! You do not see how beautiful the work is. I am giving it away at G pesetas.” She lifts her eyebrows half incredulously. all bewitchingly. “At 5 pesetas, senor.” He runs his hand through bls black hair in chivalrous distress. “But the peerless work, senorita! And this other too. I sacrifice it at 4 pesetas." She touches both fans lightly. “You will let us have the two at 7 pesetas, senor?" Her eyes dance over his confusion. He catcues the gleam, laughs ba<’k, throws up bis hands. “Bueno, senorita! At what you please!" And the senorita trips away contented with a sharp bargain, although—for Spanish gallantry, even when genuine, goes farther on the lips than otherwise —the price was probably not mueb more remote from what pleased the smooth tongued clerk than from what she pleased.--Youth s Companion. An Ingenious Toper. An eminent tragedian, given to intoxicants, was once locked up in a room at the rear ot the theater to keep him in proper condition till be was called to go on the siage. One door of the compartment opened on the street, and while looking through the keyhole he saw a man passing. Calling him up to the door, he pushed some money through a crack and instructed him to go to the public house at the opposite corner and procure a pint of gin and a clay pipe, promising to reward him for his trouble. The man did as directed, and when he returned with the articles, the actor told him to put the stem of the pipe through the keyhole and pour the gin carefully Into the bowl. These instructions the accommodating individual also followed, and the result was that when the manager called to notify him of his turn, he found him in a very happy frame of mind, but not at all In a condition calculated to add to ids fame as an actor.—London Tit-Bits.

FA l ADD H * FORERUNNER OF VBI /I K KII • CONSUMPTION.

Few realize what a deep-seated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regarding it as a simple inflammation of the nose and thfoat, little or no attention is given it. But, however insignificant it may seem at first, it is serious and far-reaching in its results. The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire system. The stomach, kidneys —in fact all the organs — feel the effect ui this catarrhal poison, and when lhe lungs aie readied its progress is rapid and destructive, and finally ends in consumption. It frequently happens that the senses of hearing and smell are in part or entirely lost, the soft bones of the nose eaten into and destroyed, causing intense suffering and greatly disfiguring the face. While sprays, washes and salves may give temporary relief, no permanent benefit can be expected from such treatment.

CATARRH IS A CONSTITUTIONAL OR BLOOD DISEASE, and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disappointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold. Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease. S. S. S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood, purifies it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and puts new life into the sluggish worn-out organs, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations.

Mrs Josephine Polhill, of Due West, S. C., writes : “ I had Catarrh, which became so deepsenten that I was entirely deaf in one ear, and all inside of my nose, including part of the tone, ploughed oft When the disease had gone this far the physician gave me up as incurable I determined to try 3S s a last resort, and began to improve at once. It seemed to get at the neat or the disease, and after a few weeks' treatment I was entirely cured, and for more than seven years have had no sign of the disease.” S. S. S. is made of roots, herbs and barks of wonderful tonical and purifying properties. It is the only vegetable blood purifier known, and a certain and safe :ure for all blood troubles.

Only u Mi.understanding. Several years ago, in a well known wholesale house in a big manufacturing town, an old bachelor bookkeeper, who had been many years with the flrm, suddenly announced that he was to be married. The partners gave him a week’s holiday, and his fellow clerks raised a little purse and presented it to pay the expenses of his wedding trip. A couple of days after the wedding one of the members of the firm went down to a seaside resort, aud there, lounging about the parade and apparently enjoying himself immensely, he saw his recently married old bookkeeper, but alone. "Where’s your wife?” asked the principal. “She’s at home,” was the reply. “But I thought you had money given you for a wedding trip?” “So I had,” was the reply, “but I didn’t understand that it was intended to include her.” —Pearson’s Weekly. The Word “Salary.** The way languages are built up Is very interesting, and the derivation of the word "salary” is curious as well. In ancient times Roman soldiers received a daily portion cf salt as part of their pay. "Sal" is the Latin for salt, and when the salt was in course of time commuted for money the amount was called salarlutn, or salt money; hence our word "salary” aud hence, doubtless, the expression "not worth his salt”—that Is, not worth bis "salt money.” or salary. Not Restricted. “That gentleman who is being introduced to Miss Binks is a freethinker.” “Which is he. a bachelor or a widower?”—Brooklyn Life. The South Chicago Street Railway company has introduced into its ears whiskbrooms and clothes brushes. These useful articles are placed in a small cabinet in the forward end of the car, witli an announcement l>eneath notifying travelers that the bruslias aae at their disposal.
