AFRICANS HARD TO KILL.
Only SllRlitlr Hurt br Injuries That
Would lie Fatal to Caucasian.
The constitutions of the peasantry
In this part of Africa are marvelous but
not more marvelous than is the extraor-
dinary immunity from serious accident
that they appear to enjoy. They are
the most careless irresponsible happy-go-lucky
folk that the mind can imag-
ine. They have absolutely no respect
for the power of steam and are wholly
careless of gradations of impact. You
could not persuade them in ten years
that to be struck by any projecting por-
tion of a train carrying 500 tons' weight
and traveling at the rate of 20 miles an
hour was in any way more formidable
than being kicked by an angry cow.
Both blows hurt that is all. And na-
ture appears to be ip the conspiracy
with them to maintain this condition of
ignorance. Accidents befall them that
with white men would entail an inquest
and an appeal to the employers' liabil-
ity act. And they do but rub them-
selves and grin. Xothing seems to hurt
them seriously.
For instance not long ago a train
heavily laden and running on the down
grade at top speed say 25 to 30 miles an
hour approached to a spot where a
"straightener" was standing close be-
side the line. Behind one of the car-
riages was a solid platform of wooden
beams projecting a foot or two on
either side. This was the "ze.er" plat-
form so built in order that the zeers
great porous water jars of the kind
in which Morgiana hid the 40 thieves
might catch the rush of air and the wa- j
ter be thus cooled. The train came on;
tie "straightener' remained as
though he had calculated it to a nicety
just in the right place to be struck
with most force by the projecting tim-
ber. Of course everyone shouted at
him and equally of course he paid no
sort of attention with the result that
the blow took him full in the back of the
head.
At the moment the train could not be
stopped but from the station about a
mile farther on Lieut. Blakeny sent
back a bearer party with everything
necessary for first aid convinced in his
mind however (he had seen the occur-
rence) that the man must infallibly
have been killed. When the bearer
party returned the sergeant in charge
reported that the poor victim was "zaz-
an shwier" i. e. rather cross. There
was nothing else the matter with him
and he nest day having got over his
pardonable vexation he went to work
as usual.
Again on another occasion and still
on the down grade at night a navvy
lost his cap overboard. It wns the
flimsiest apology for a cap but it was
apparently dear to him so he jumped
out after 1L When the circumstance
was reported at the next station an en-
gine went back to collect him and met
him hurrying along quite comfortable
and very pleased with himself; he had
found it. London Xews.
INDIAN INTERMARRIAGES.
A'ninea of Xamerom Tribes nnd Tbelr
Relations to Each Other.
The Tsimpseans are composed of the
following tribes: The Crow Bear
Whale Frog Wolf Beaver and Eagle.
Each of these represents a family or
tribe corresponding to the clan Camp-
bells of Scotland or the Xakamuras of
Japan. Each tribe has its own crest
as in Japan at this day. A member of
the Wolf tribe has the wolf for its crest
and the Bear has the moon and stars
showing his celestial origin.
An Indian may not marry one of his
own crest. But he may marry into any
other jclan excepting an allied tribe.
A Crow may marry into any clan except
the Frog; the Frog into any but the
Crow the Whale any but the Bear the
Bear any but the Whale the Beaver any
but the Eagle the Eagle any but the
Beaver and the Wolf being so different
from all in ancestry may marry into
any tribe.
Suppose a Wolf marries a Crow wom-
an the children are all Crows. They
are named- after the mother not after
the father. In quarrels between two
tribes as the Wolf and Crow the chil-
dren being Crows would be forced to
join their mother against their father
and he would fight against all Crows
Including his own family.
A Crow is a member of a Crow family
or crest to such an extent that when in
n distant village he would sojourn with
a Crow household and would there be
treated at a veritable son or brother.
If in the village there were no Crows
then as the Frogs are closely allied he
would go to them and receive the same
treatment as if he were a Frog. So
among all allied crests the same loyalty
is maintained. Chautauquan.
Trains That Xever Stop.
The time consumed in makinga jour-
ney is to a great extent taken up by
stoppages at stations for the purpose of
taking on passengers. An ingenious
system has been devised whereby pas-
sengers are taken upon trains or
dropped without halting. The inven-
tion is to be a feature of the Paris ex-
position in 1900. The device consists
of a movable platform with a circular
disc which travels at the same rate of
speed as the passing train. The in-
ventor claims that "when entering the
platform from a staircase in the center
there will be no danger since the speed
at this point is comparatively low nor
will it be felt much when going toward
the edge of the turning platform for
the increase of speed is gradual and an-
ticipated." In theory this may be very
well but the practical mind instantly
questions whether ordinary employes
are capable of handling two rapidly
moving bodies with sufficient nicety to
remove the element of danger that is
always present where there is a very
high rate of speed. X. Y. Ledger.
The Color of Arctic Animals.
Xature is a very considerate and prov-
iden t protector to her children. In win-
ter many of the arctic animals become
perfectly white and can move over the
vast Fnowfields with safety when if
they retained their summer color they
would be an easy mark for beasts and
birds of prey or the hunter's rifle. The
for squirrel ermine and other crea-
tures of their class have dark fur dur-
ing the summer to correspond with the
rocks among which they live. X. Y.

DUELING IN IRELAND.
Hon- Affairs of Honor Flourished
There Half a. Century Aco.
In the Green Isle dueling flouriahed
60 years ago as much as it did in France.
When a Trinity college student asked
the provost what books he had better
bring to college the latter said: "Xever
mind the books; bring n case of pistols."
The students were in the habit of set-
tling those little affairs either just be-
fore or just after morning prayers. All
the distinguished Irishmen 100 years
ago were duelists. Curran Grattan
Sheridan Barrington.Fitzgibbon Flood
and O'Connell were often "out;" and in
our day the O'Gorman Mahon had 22
affairs to his credit. The bar led the
list.
Lord chancellors and masters of the
rolls fought like cornets of horse. Lord
Xorbury fought "Fighting Fitzgerald"
nnd two others besides "frightening"
"Xapper Tandy" as the Irish historians
tell us. Gnlway was great with the
pistol Tipperary with the sword. Two
English "fines lames" Maj. Fork and
CapL Creed went to Ireland to find foe-
men worthy of their steel and found
them in Mr. Matthew nnd Mr. Macna-
mara who fought with them in a pri-
vate room at in inn wounded them
nearly unto death nursed them back
into health and were rewarded with
their friendship.
Col. Barrington and Mr. Gilbert two
middle-aged married men had a desper-
ate duel in 1759 because they did not
wish to leave an unsettled quarrel as a
legacy for their children. They fought
on horseback with sword pistol and
"skeen" or Irish bowie knife. First
the pistols were fired Barrington re-
ceiving some of the charge in his face;
but he rushed on Gilbert killed his
horse with his broadsword dismounted
and putting his "skeen" to the other's
throat called upon him to "ask for his
life on pain of death." Gilbert agreed
to shake hands and be friends but
without condition or apology. Bar-
rington consented.
"Fighting Fitzgerald" a well-known '
character a cousin of the earl of Des-
inond an Eton boy an Oxford graduate
and an officer in the Sixty-ninth foot
fought 18 duels and was thought by
many to be mad. He hired a gang of
ruffians waylaid and killed a gentle-
man on the king's highway and was
hanged at Castlebar. Among others he
encountered Martin of Galway Iter.
Richard Bate and Capt. ITarvey Ashton
afterward killed at Madras in a duel
with Col. Allen. The Ashton duel nnd
another fought by Clive with a Cal- i
cutta civilian indirectly helped British ;
arms to many victories. The first made
way for a Col. Wellesley afterward
better known under another name to
an important command before Seringa-
patam. The second had by displaying
the desperate courage of Clive secured
him a military appointment in a time
of emergency. Cornhill Magazine.
QUESTION OF NAMES
The Plajrue of Adverse Forms of
Those In Forelirn Lands.
One of the minor yet real and wide-
spread woes of war or even of explora-
tion in alien lands is the plague of di-
vers forms of names. The names are
often outlandish and jawbreaklng in
any form. But when there are half a
dozen different spellings of each with
all of which one must keep himself fa-
miliar the situation becomes oneof un-
mitigated horror. To take a single
mild example close at hand what per-
plexity there has been over Klondike
or Klondyke or Clondike or Clondyke or
whatever it may be! If we go back a
little further to the Greek war and
Cretan insurrection what memories
arise of Canea and Chania and Khanea
of Betimo and IJethymo of Thersala
and Pharsala and 1'hersalos and Fhar-
salos and all the rest of them.
But all these are a mere foretaste of
orthographic perplexities compared
with what now comes to us in an Indian
campaign. Is the trouble on the bor-
derland of Illndostan or Hindustan?
Amid the Hindoo Kush or Hindu Hush
mountains? Around the Khyber pass
or the Khaibar? Are the Af ridis or the
Afreedees concerned in it? Is Beloo-
chlstan or Beluchistan or Baluchistan
in danger of disaffection? Is the fellow
who stirred up the row the Mullah of
Haddah of the Moulvie of Adda? Is he
a disciple of the Akhoond or Akhound
or Ahkound of Swat? Is he a friend or
foe of the ameer of Cabul or Cabool or
Kabul? Such are the vexatious ques-
tions that crowd thick and fast upon the
heels of every day's dispatches.
Xor is it to be wondered at that this
is so seeing how high authorities dis-
agree concerning long-familiar names.
We have all heard of the Sepoy mutiny.
But Col. Malleson tells us it wns the
Sipahi mutiny. It broke out not at
Meerut but at Mirath; the most hideous
massacre was not at Cawnpore but at
Khanpur and not Lucknow but Lakh-
nao was gallantly defended for 87 days.
Xay the government of India now bids
us forget the good old Bundlecund and
know only Bandlekhand. And while
Sir William Hunter's Gazetteer tells us
of Poonah Col. Matheson's "History"
speaks only of Puna. One writes old-
fashioned Bhownugger another Bhau-
nagar and a third Bhavnagar. And so
it goes on. Only the law of permut-
ations can tell how far. X. Y. Tribune.
Intensity- of the Sun's Rays.
It is estimated that the earth receives
not more than one thousand millionth
pert of the total radiation of the sun's
raj-s. If any considerable proportion
of .this heat were concentrated upon
the earth it would not only become un-
inhabitable but become speedily con-
sumed. If the great accumulation of
ice at the north pole were placed at
a point on which this tremendous heat
could be focused it would melt at the
rate of 300000000 of miles of solid ice
per second and the heat is estimated
to generate energy at the rate of about
10000 horse-power to every square foot
of its surface. X. Y. Ledger.

Do "You Suffer From Piles?
If you only knew what thousands of

no longer. Surgery has been the onl7
radical help for hemorrhoids (protrud-
ing piles) and that often fails. The
discovery that the common buckeye is
a ieciflc for these troubles makes it
easy to do what operations have fre-
quently failed to do. 'fabler's buck-

Cr:ACH OF ENGLAND.
Austrian Archdeaconess Is the Leslt-
iniate Sovereign.
In France and in Spain the legitimist
In taken seriously. In England ac-
cording to the man in the street and
according to others in other places the
legitimist is simply an idiot who is not
worth further consideration. Yet
among English legitimists are many
men of whose sanity there can be no
question whose integrity is beyond dis-
pute and wh6se loyalty to Queen Vic-
toria is unimpeachable.
In the first place perhaps it may
be suggested that the use of the word
"Jacobite" in connection with legit-
imism In this country is not very happy.
It is employed because of the historical
associations which appeal so strongly
to the English as a nation. But it does
not necessarily imply as is too com-
monly supposed that the legitimists in
this country aim solely at the restora-
tion of the house of Stuart. But for
the peculiar local associations of tho
term."Jacobite" the legitimist in Eng-
land might with more propriety style
himself a Carlist and thereby identify
himself more closely with Ms brother
in France or Spain. The point which
In fairness ought not to be lost sight of.
is that the Jacobite is simply an Eng-
lishman who professes tho faith of
legitimism; a member it raary be other-
wise expressed of the English branch
of a catholic or universal party.
Social systems may nnd do exist
vhcre the monarchical principle is ac-
cepted but where the sovereign is elect-
ed. Social systems may and do exist
where the principle of primogeniture
is accepted but where the monarchical
principle is rejected altogether. But a
social system where the monarchical
principle nnd the principle of primo-
geniture are both accepted but where
the sovereign is yet not the one en-
titled by the laws of primogeniture to
occupy the throne is an anomaly the
justification of which must be sought
outside logical reason. From this as-
pect the legitimist appears more sano
than they who call him mnd. The law
of gavelkind and the law "regulating"
the succession to the throne are tho
only two exceptions to the rule by
which the eldest son succeeds his father
nnd failing issue the succession is
vested in the elder female line. Ques-
tions of fact only are involved nnd for-
tunately these are plain enough. By
the law of primogeniture the sovereign
of these realms should be Mary the
Fourth and Third nee Mary Theresa
Henrietta Dorothea archduchess of
Austria-Este-Modena and wife of his
royal highness Prince Louis of Ba-
varia. Of her genealogical right to the
tbrone ns representative of the senior
female line of the royal house of Stuart
the mnle line having become extinct on
the death of the Cardinal King Henry
IX there is no dispute. The facts are
stated every year in "Whitaker's Al-
manack" for all who run to read. The
Hanoverian dynasty being derived
from a daughter of James I. has no
right to the throne until the whole is-
sue of Charles I. is exhausted which
is not yet the case. Xineteenth Cen-
tury. IMITATION OYSTERS IN PARIS.
1 A Perfect Counterfeit in Appearance
Ilut the Taste Is Far from Genuine.
"The most singular thing I saw while
1 in Paris" said a gentleman who hns
just returned from Europe "wns ar-
tificial oysters. I don't mean what are
called mock oysters that is meat done
up in a patty or a potpie but the real
bivalve intended to serve raw. And as
far as looks go you would say at a
glance that they were genuine Ameri-
can oysters but when you came to eat
one the difference would be perceptible
at once. How they are made and what
materials are used in thoir manufac-
ture is a mystery which I did not solve
but it is certain that a great deal of
money is made by the producers. The
usual price paid for these artificial oys-
ters is three cents each or 30 cents a
dozen and sometimes in the second-
class restaurants they are to be had
for two cents each though they are not
apt to be very fresh at that price. You
order a plate on the half shell and when
the waiter brings them to you they look
as nice as the real oyster that you get In
the best Xew York oyster house. If you
are not a good judge of oysters you will
eat them with your wine and go away
without asking any questions.
"The only really genuine thing about
them is the Ehells. The manufacturers
I was told buy second-hand shells from
the restaurant keepers at a small ex-
pense and with a harmless and tasteless
paste fasten the spurious oyster in Its
place. Only one-half a shell Is used for
the purpose and in that shape the fraud
oysters are packed in tiers in boxes and
baskets which are displayed in win-
dows on counters or on shelves. Oth-
ers to be served without the shells are
put up in cans or in glass jars con-
taining from 25 to 100. The "imita-
tions" are consumed In such large
quantities that the dealers In real oys-
ters are urging the restaurant and
hotel keepers to break up their ehells as
fast as their contents are eaten and
even pay the cooks and waiters liberally
to pound them to pieces so that the
makers of the artificial article will have
a limited supply of shells." Washing-

CONVENTION OF SABBATH SCHOOLS
The bible is the text book of all
people who make any profession
of the Christian religion. One of
the imminent questions of the da'
is how to induce the people the
young especially to study the
holy 5-cnpiures so that they may
lit come intellifjeiil hearers ol the
preached gospel from the min-
isterial pulpit. One of the chief
causes of heresy among the peo
pit- and if their being led astray
by strange and unscriptural teach-
ing arises from the lack of knoul-
i dge of the bible as a whole fiom
the divine author. There are
mnny points ol view from which
to regard the divine gqvertiuii it .
but if you adotit one view to tin-
exclusion of all other views you
will naturally drift into error
The devil knew when he tempted
Christ the danger of sectarian text
isolated fiom otnern. He correetlv
quoted from the hook of P.-.-ilm-
i. e : "He rhall give his ring.ls
charge concerning thee and on
their hands they thall bear thee
up lest haply thou dash thy foot
against a stone."' The Divine Re-
deemer did not and could not deny
the quotation but he replied "It
is also written 'Thou s tall not
tempt the Lord thy God.' " Ulti-
mately he replied "Thou bhalt
worship the Lord thy God and
Him only shall thou serve."
Now because the Son of Man
was well drilled in the use of the
sword of the spirit which is the
word of God the devil left him.
Then angelic messengers attended
him and waited on him.
The answer ol the Christ in re-
ply to questions of morals ever
was "What sayest the scriptures?
How readest thou?" and again
"Ye do err not knowing the script-
ures." As the Holy scriptures are the
only true base of morals and of
true religious life the young peo-
ple of our great free land should
he thoroughly drilled in the facts
of revealed truth in order to
patriotic American citizenship and
personal salvation.
No people ever have or ever
will rise above the chaiacter of
their religion. As the Divinely
revealed religion imparts purity of
thought and life according to the
amount of knowledge and faith of
the scholar so it is evident that
the true citizen of a free country
should strive to impart those lire
truths which after all lie at the
base of American freedom and
life.
The Sunday school is an insti-
tution which in the providence
of God has been established for
the very purpose of bible study
and drill in this keenest of all
weapons against every form of
error sin and crime. The Sunday
school is not justly appreciated by
either clergy or laity saint or
sinner. The Sunday school con-
vention consisting of Sunday
school workers and all others in-
terested is a patriotic meeting to
compare experience and for mut-
ual instruction in methods of
working and above all to magnify
to its true proportions the im-
portance and far reaching influence
of the Sunday school over the on-
coming generation consequently
on the home life the social life
and political life of this our great
free reckless land.
Cannot we call a convention of
all the Sunday schools north of
the Arkansas river to the Kansas
line to meet in the near future at
Vinita or some other point? Let
the pastors and superintendents in
Vinita and neighboring towns come
together or correspond and ap
point a time and place of meeting
advertise thoroughly through per-
iodical papers and mailed circulars
so that a full delegation may be
obtained and all Sunday schools
especially the feeble ones in the
country be benefited.
If the convention is to be a suc-
cess the committees and the
oflicers should be chosen because
of fitness rather than as a com-
pliment to any one or inch of tho
denominations. The blessing of
true success is promised if there
be unity of purpose and not per-
sonal ambition. The aids to suc-
cess are:
I. Thorough advertisement
through printers' ink.
II. Guaranteed free entertain-
ment to visiting delegates.
III. Persons leading in essays
speeches and symposiums be noti-
fied and reply requested of accept-
ance or refusal.
IV. All persons attending
should bring bible tablet and pen-
cil. V. Each delegate should bring
one or more written questions per-
taining to Sunday school work
VI. Each delegate should bring
a written report of their Sunday
Bchool for the past year.
VII. Each delegate should try-
to learn all best plans of work so
as to make report to their home
Bchool and use as much a pracuc

PROHIBITIONIST'S NEAT TRICK.
How a Mlnalwtlppl Sclioolmnater De-
fented the Enemleii of Reform.
Superintendent Greenwood of the
city schools tells a good story on a
friend of his Prof. Morrison in Missis-
sippi whom he visited last winter.
Down in that state there are many ne-
groes and the colored vote is a material
factor in politics. Itisaconstantstrug-
gle between the different political par-
ties to control this vote and many pe-
culiar means are resorted to. The
6tory related by Mr. Greenwood is a fair
example of the way the negro is worked
on election day by his white friends
down in Dixie.
"In the little town where Prof. Mor-
rison lives and where he is superin-
tendent of the city schools" said Prof.
Greenwood "the people were called
upon to vote on the question of local
option a short time ago. Mr. Morrison
occupying the position that he did and
being a man of gentle habits and a
good church member naturally was
chosen to lead the prohibition faction
nnd during the campaign he waged a
bitter fight against the saloons. Every-
thing seemed favorable for a grand pro-
hibition victory until a day or two be-
fore the election when the negroes
came in from the plantations and began
tanking up' on the free whisky sup-
plied them by the enemies of reform.
Morrison realized that the power to
turn the election lay in the colored vote
nnd he at once set to work to head off
his opponents and the facts show that
the shrewd little schoolmaster was
equal to the emergency.
"The night before the election after
the saloon men had exhausted their ef-
forts and had gone to their homes with
the confidence that victory would be
theirs on the morrow the professor
went to work among the darkies ne
told them that he had a piece of new
ground he wanted cleared up and that
he would give each of them $2 a day
and board as long as the work would
last the time it would take to do the
work depending altogether on the
number of men that he could get.
Every negro in town promised to
bring an ax and be at the appointed
place at daylight. The next morning a
dozen wagons were in waiting to trans-
port the men down In the river bottoms
where the timber was to be cut. Two
trips were made before all of them were
gotten out of town but when the sa-
loon men came down the next morning
there were not a dozen negroes to be
seen. They were mystified and did not
learn of the trick that had been played
on them until it was too late and pro-
hibition carried the day.
"A big dinner was prepared for the
darkies out in the woods when the noon
hour came and they were made happy
at sundown by being given two bright
silver dollars each and told that the
job was finished. This was considered a
shrewd piece of work on the part of Mr.
Morrison and he has since become a
considerable power in Mississippi poli
tics. Kansas City Journal.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Some Little Thins; Which the Hoime-
rrtfe Should Know.
If icing runs off a cake and will not
stick flour should be sifted over the
cake and then wiped off with a soft
cloth before applying the icing.
It.is well to know that if salt fish is
wnnted quickly the fish is freshened
much sooner if soaked in milk milk
that is turned being as good for the
purpose as fresh milk.
A pretty stand for bric-a-brac is oc-
tagonal in shape nnd has an inch-high
rail of mahogany about its edge The
top is covered with old damask plainly
put on and soft tints of rose and blue.
Small nuaintlr-slinnpfl ilt baskets
filled with sweet peas rind with the
handles of the baskets decorated with
dainty bows of ribbon matching the
blossoms in color were the favors at a
recent dinner.
To cut parsley for seasoning bunch
the stalks together In the hand and
double the tops over until the whole
is bent in half holding it down against
a table. Then chop vigorously and it
will be as thoroughly shredded as re-
quired. Dresser sets made of thin white
Swiss with a deep hem and lace edging
are just as showy when placed over a
lining of crepe tissue paper as If one
went to the trouble of using silesia or
fdlk. Even the pin cushion is made
with the cover of paper with the Swiss
over. The effect Is excellent and when
rolled or torn is easily replaced.
If the tea steeper contains any cold
tea and soaked leaves no matter how
mall an amount do not throw the mix-
ture nway but pour it every few days
into the cut glass water bottles. Shake
the bottles well and then thoroughly
rinse them In clear water. Treated in
this manner the inside of the bottles
will remain bright and clear.
A useful article to hang on the dress-
ing table is a large bow of satin rib-
bon fastened to a white bone ring.
From one end of the bow a tiny pair of
scissors nre suspended. A loop holds
ft pretty thimble. Xeedles of all sizes
are run In nnother loop while strands
of various colored silks and threads
nre fastened to the string. It Is very
convenient In taking the needed stitch
which saves nine.
In Xorwny where superb coffee Is
made a bit of butter is added to the
beans while they are roasting In the
covered shovel used there for that pur-
pose. In France a piece of butter the
rize of a walnut Is put with three
pounds of coffee beans and also a des-
sert spoonful of powdered sugar. This
brings out both flavor and scent nnd.
moreover gives the slight caramel taste

Robbed tho Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr
John Oliver of Philadelphia was the
subject is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow eyes sunk-
en tongue coated pain continually in
back and sides no appetite gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortun-
ately a friend advised trying 'electric
hitlers' and to my great joy and sur
prise the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks and am now a well
man. I know they saved my life and
robbed the grave of another victim.'"

King's new discovery is all that is
claimed for it; it never fails and is a
sure cure for consumption coughs and
colds. I cannot say enough for its
merits." Dr. King's new discovery
for consumption coughs and colds is

for a quarter of a century and to-day
