Where People Dress ANke. In Yucatan, Central America, sisters dres* precisely alike, even to the tieing of a bow, the turn of a button, or the flower in the hair. In the tropics large families are the rule, and one may see in that country girls in groups of from three to a baker's dozen wbo belong to the same family, as their clothes will show. It is thus easy to distin guish the members of a family any where. In Anam men and women wear their hair in the same way, and dress almost ailke. Earrings and fin ger rings are worn by the women onlyT The men and women of the Cree tribe of Indians dress alike, except the or namentation of their leggings, which Is vertical for men and horizontal for women.

At the battle of Trafalgar a sailor found kneeling by his gun, as his ship was about to engage the enemy, was asked by the first lieutenant If he were afraid. “Afraid.” answered Jack, with an expression of the utmost disdain; “no, your honor; I’m only praying that the enemy’s shot may be distributed like the prize money—the greatest among the officers.” Not of the Meek. “Well,” said the New Woman, “sup pose we do want the earth!

This man is not In the habit of flirt ing, but he really could not resist the temptation the other day when he en tered a corner grocery in the outlying district. The pretty, red-cheeked girl behind the counter looked so demure and said, ‘‘Certainly, sir,” so sweetly when he asked if he could use the tele phone that he was tempted to use the electric eonverser as the means of throwing a complaint. Besides, had not she encouraged him by a slight arching of the eyebrowa and a coy glance in his direction? Bhe was wait ing on a neighboring housewife, who was herself attractive enough to cause more than passing attention. They both laughed when he made a facetious remark to his friend at the other end of tho line. “Where are you now?” asked the friend. “Why,” replied the audacious fellow, “I’m out here in an east-end grocery watching a pretty girl sell a dozen eggs to a customer. There was a sudden plunk and splash, as the confused girl allowed the paper sack into which she was count ing the eggs to fall to the floor. The proprietor of the grocery came in from the rear at that moment, and the young man escaped during the con fusion.—Detroit Fret Press. He Doesn’t Mean It. When you henr a young man say: “1 don’t believe in a woman having any thing to do but sit and read, or mani cure her finger nails all day, I don’t want my wife to be busy about any thing,” why, of course, you know that the young man is simply talking against time. He doesn't mean a word he says, and it is safe to warrant that he is the first mn who would be bored to death by such a girl. This young man may like t® fancy that he is a believer in such false sentiments, and perhaps he does believe in them foi the moment of saying. But this may more than likely be only his way of protesting against the wave of energy which the girlhood of to-day Is re sponding to, out of which perhaps may come salvation even to man.

The visitors to the Paris Exposition will see some curious exhibits in con nection with the South African exhibit, among fltim models of mines contain ing ore glittering with diamonds and gold. It is commonly supposed that dia monds and gold constitute the back bone of South Africa’s mineral riches. Asa matter of fact, nearly every min eral known to science and nearly every precious stone used by the Jeweller are found in that country. In truth, South Africa IS a mass of mineral from the Cape to the Zambesi Kiver. In the Kimberley district and east to Bloemfontein, diamonds and natural iron abound. To the northwest of this district are the Witwatersrand gold fields. On the Vnhl and Orange Rivers magnificent asbestos, some of it six feet long, can be had for the trouble of dig ging. Silver exists In all parts of the coun try, but is mined only near Pretoria. Copper has been mined in Namaqua land since the seventeenth century, and recently fine deposits have been found in Mashoualand. Lend is found in conjunction with other metals in all parts. Zinc exists in the Malmani district and antimony has been mined near Barberton.
