Tho Kamo Kind of a Foul.
Tho republic of Jtlulagonift had been I
long and woll represented at the court
of tho king of Patagascar by an officer
called a dazie, but one day the Madago-
nian parliament conferred upon him the
superior rank of dandee. Tho next day
after being apprised of his now dignity
he hastened to inform the king of Pata
gascar.
“Ah, yes, I understand," said the king.
“You have been promoted and given in
creased pny and allowances. There was
an appropriation?”
“Yes, your majesty.”
“And you have now two heads, have
you not?”
“Oh, no, your majesty—only one, I as
sure you.”
"Indeed! Ar.d how many legs and
anr'?”
“Two of each, sire—only two of each.”
“And only one body?”
“Just a single body, ns you perceive.”
Thoughtfully removing his crown and
scratching tho royul head, tho monarch
was silent a moment, and then ho said:
“I fancy that appropriation has been
misapplied. You seem to be about the
same kind of a blank fool that you were
yesterday."—San Francisco Examiner.
Tho Time of Convalescenoe.
Don’t worry the sick ones in regard to
what they wish to eat. Fix up some
thing nice and tasty, serve it daintily
and reap the reward that a capricious
appetite will grant—tho reward of seeing
the eatables disappear merely because
they were a pleasant and unexpected
surprise. Next, do not allow every
friendly neighbor to run in and sit for
hours until the flushed cheeks and too
brilliant eyes of the patient tell the story
of an overdose of company.
Do not let your charge be too eager for
recovery—far better a week or rnoro of
idleness than a precipitate activity that
throws the invalid back once more upon
the sick bed. Be cheerful always. Bright
en up the room with gay flowers whoso
edor is not too heavy, but never permit
them to remain in the sickroom over
night. Keep your patient tidy and tho
bedclothes smooth and cool as possible.
Speak in low tones, walk with soft tread
and be ever watchful against the slight
est indiscretion. To mothers this sort of
nursing comes naturally, but there are
some who must be told, as they err
through lack of that gentle judgment
that is the secret of sickroom victories.
—Philadelnhia Times.
lioauty In Common I'lunts.
To the true lover of nature tho
beautiful simplicity of natural I
growths appeals vvitli a suggestive- I
ness of reminiscenco that is often \
wanting in tho costlier occupant of
the greenhouse or flower garden. It
is the difference between the curio
and tho household relic, one rare anil
lovely and precious, but the other en
deared by tenderest memories. To
the child the delight of hunting for
the chary wild flower far exceeds
any riot in the well kept garden,
while the hoy’s nutting expeditions
are much more to hi3 mind than tho
plucking of fruit in tho richest or
chard.
In after life all that recalls these
lost delights is dear to the man’s
heart and has its own intimato and
suggestive charm. A lesson in econ
omy comes scarcely amiss, and since
it is luxuries that must go first,
when it is a question of giving up
something, it is well to know that
the living rooms need not suffer so
long as there are woods and fields to
draw upon for their floral decoration,
while tho exchange for tasteful sim
plicity is really a distinct gain, con
trasted with the wasteful and inor
dinate use of flowers with too lavish
and expensive prolusion.—Garden
and Forest.

Tho Crow ns a Scavenger a Fraud.
A ourious result of the religious riots
in Bombay has been tlio exposure of tho
hollowness of the plea that has been put
forth for tho crow as a scavenger. Lazy
governments in the east have been wont
to excuse tlieir sanitary shortcomings on
the ground that “the crow, the pariah
dog and the kite” may be relied upon to
clear away the offal in the streets, but
the smells of Constantinople and Smyrna
have not been observed to be much the
less because the dogs eat of the offal
thrown from the houses, nor lias Jerusa
lem or Cairo been found to be any sweet
er from the presence of the mongrels who
destroy the repose of visitors.
In like manner the Bombay crow has
failed to justify his ancient reputation.
During the Bombay riots, when the op
erations of the city scavengers were
brought to a standstill, dead vermin and
offal accumulated in extraordinary quan
tities in the bazaars and slums of the na
tive quarters till the city became a “par
adise for the crows.” But the Bombay
crows entirely neglected this opportuni
ty, and thus have come to be denounced
as “sham sanitarians.”—London Tele
graph.
An Interesting African People.
At tho Berlin Anthropological so
ciety Mr. Mereusky lias given some
curious particulars about the Kondeh
people in the German district on
Lake Nyassa. Their country is*bor-
dered on the north by the Living
stone mountains and on the south by
the lake, and this favorable geo
graphical position has enabled the
people to develop in a peculiar man
ner and attain a relatively high state
of civilization. “Their affections are
largely developed. Friendship is
especially valued among them, and
love between the sexes strong and
firm, as well as the domestic affec
tions.
“Suicide, caused by grief for the
loss of a wife, a child, or even a fa
vorite animal, is not infrequent. The
favorite form of suicide is to enter
the water and allow one’s self to be
devoured by a crocodile. In war
time all unnecessary cruelty is avoid
ed, and women and children who
have been made prisoners are set
free again. Tho position of woman
among the Koudehs is unusually
high. Women are on a perfect equal
ity with men in the eyes of the law,
and offenses against women aro even
more severely punished than offenses
against men.”—St. James Gazette.
Dainty Doggie.
A woman who was robed in a dress of
stylish make, and who showed by her
air that she was in the circle of the well
to do, was accompanied by a little pug’
dog. The street was somewhat muddy
from the water that had been lavishly
sprinkled upon it by the city’s watering
cart. Little ptiggy ran into the street,
where he saw a nice bit of bone, and
even his aristocratic breed and training
could not restrain him from taking at
least a few bites of it. He was inclined
to bring the choice tidbit to the pave
ment, but his mistress forbade this, so
he dropped the tempting morsel and
slunk on to the sidewalk again.
But in puggy’s nibblings at the bone
he had muddied his little flattened out
nose. The woman scolded him as seri
ously as though he were a child. He ac
knowledged the justness of the repri
mand by dropping his aristocratic head
in a remorseful manner. His mistress
thereupon patted hjs head, and taking a
delicate lace edged handkerchief from her
handbag, deliberately wiped dear, naugh
ty little puggy’s nose.—Boston Herald.
A Mexican Bunko Game.
It is said that a favorite method
that Mexican rascals have of swin
dling American visitors is to watch
for them at the railway station, and
having selected a victim and having
ascertained that he or she (preferably
she) means to take a certain train, to
approach just before train time and
demand money, represented to ho due
as a board bill at such and such a
hotel. The victim will deny owing
the bill, but the sharper insists,
threatening to call the police and to
have the matter settled before a jus
tice.
As the amount asked for is usually
not more than $2 or $3, the victim
commonly prefers to pay it rather
than to have his journey delayed,
especially if he understands the pe
culiarity of Mexican law, which al
ways throws the burden of proof on
the American. However barefaced
the accusation, if it be urged by a
native against an American, the
chances are that the victim will have
to spend some days in Belem prison
before he can satisfy the authorities
that he is innocent, and in the mean
time the rascally accuser disappears.

Plenty of Gold.
In the Witwatersrand goldfield, South
Africa, an experimental boring has just
been completed to the depth of 2,500 feet
for the purpose of testing the quantity
and quality of the auriferous deposits
there. The results are said to be most
satisfactory, and a Mr. Scott Alexander
has based on them the following extraor
dinary calculations: Circumference of
basin, 400 miles; diameter, 127 miles:
area, 12,580 square miles, or 300,710,272,-
000 square feet. Taking an average thick
ness of eight series of blanket beds at 6
feet, equal to 48 feet, equals 16,884,093,-
056,000 cubic feet of reef, or at 15 cubic
feet to the ton, 10,521,433,160,000 tons.
At 80 shillings per ton, very low value of
gold, equal to £1,578,196,224,000. Tak
ing the population of Witwatersrand at
40,000 souls, thiB allows each £39,454,905

Various Capitals of the United States.
Apropos of the celebration of the
centennial anniversary of the Capi
tol cornerstone laying it may be
interesting to note the different
cities which have had the honor
of being the capital of the United
States as follows: At Philadelphia
from Sept. 5, 1774, until December,
1776; at Baltimore from Dec. 20,
1776, tp March, 1777; at Philadel
phia from March 4, 1777, to Sep
tember, 1777; at Lancaster, Pa., from
Sept. 27, 1777, to Sept. 30, 1777; at
York, Pa., from Sept. 30, 1777, to
July, 1778; at Philadelphia from
July 2, 1778, to June 30, 1783; at
Princeton, N. J., from June 30, 1783,
to Nov. 20, 1783; at Annapolis,
from November, 1783, to November,
1784; at Trenton, from Novem
ber, 1784, to January, 1785; at New
York from Jan. 11, 1785, to 1790,
when the seat of government was
changed to Philadelphia, where it re
mained until 1800, since which time
it has been at Washington.—Wash
ington News.
She Surprised the Board.
Mrs. Stowe-Gullen, M. D., of the To
ronto school board recently surprised
that body by showing that the appoint
ment of four public school supervisors
was illegal. She introduced a resolution
abolishing the useless office, pointed out
clearly that the law gave the board no
power to appoint any such officials, hence
that they were spending annually $6,000
of the people’s money without legal au
thority. The board could not gainsay
her argument and so adopted her resolu
tion.—Toronto Mail.
Love and Marriage.
Yet, depend upon it, as you grow
older you will see more and more in
stances and proofs of the reality and
the depth of the love of husbands
and wives for each other in the most
ordinary, commonplace couples,
have heard of marriages where love
has died out from some canker of
selfishness or worldliness at its heart,
but I have oftener seen unexpected
proofs of a love stronger than death
in all sorts of people in whom I had
never before discovered any signs of
sentiment or romance.—Sir Edward
Strachey.
