ZULU JINRIKISHA MEN.

Head Decorations That Are as Grotesque as They Are Ingenious,

The Zulu jinrikisha men are com- pelled by the English authorities to wear a uniform—a white linen tunic and loose white trousers cut off above

| the knee. They were like children play-

ing at horse in the nursery, and they uttered continuous native gurglings, partly like turtledoves and partly like

| the halleluliah ejaculations at one of oar

African Methodist camp meetings. They

| all appeared very happy during this

| performance, which continued so long

that I calculated the amount of energy

'expended to represent about ten miles

of unpaid travel. Though the body dress was uniform, there was magnifi- cent diversity regarding head decora- tion. One would wear a common straw hat hung around the brim with tassels

suggestive of a pagoda, and the chief

' delight of tho wearer was in shaking his head for the pleasure of making the

tassels dance. Another had fastened a

' pair of cow horns on either side of his

The captain of the expedition will be Adrien de Geriache, and he will have two lieuteuants. One of them, M, Lecointe, servid in the French navy. The crew will he composed of two machin-

isis, one sailing master... one carpenter, |

two harpoovers, twelye sailore, two stokers a cook and a steward, The sailing master, the barpooners and the sailors have ell been recruited in Norway among

the Lardy mariners accustomed to baviga-

ting in high latitudes,

The expedition wil! call at the Canary Ielands, at Brazil and at La Platte ard at one cf the furthest Faudland I-lands, in the Straits of Magellan, to replenish stores.

Then the vessel will set sail for tbe An- tartic Ucean, running a little \ tbe east of Grabam Land, and thence into the sea of George 1V., pushing as far as possible towards the south. On the approach of the rough season, that is, in Ma:ch, 1898, the will return towards the north and reach Melbourne.

The following summer, after having re- newed ber stores in Melbourne she will start towards Victoria with the view of reaching the austral magnetic pole.

It is expected that the Belgica will re- turn about 1899 by way of Australia, the straits of Sunda, the Indian oceau and the Suez canal. It will be one of the most perilous expeditions in this century.

SPAIN’S NEW PREMIER,

Loxvoy, Aug. 24.—A despatch to the Stanausrd from San Sebastian tays: “(j.1 eral de Azcarraga, the new premier, desires to continue the policy of his pre- decessur, Senor Canovas del Castillo, as far as possible, and does not apprehend any complications. He is confident that the United States will preserve its present attitude of cordial frievdehip, and will not in-ist upon mediation. Spain would not refuse to submit to a commission the set- tlem~ut of claims of American citizens in Cuba, if on the understanding that only the damage euffered at the hands of her forces and wuthorities were to be the subject of exami.ation, observing all her own counter claims arising from filtbustering. Should Minister Woodford be instructed to de- mand autonomy, Spain would reply that auturony would have been granted long ago liad the Cubans ceased to receive from the United States the moral and material assiziance enabling them to prolong the struggie, and had they ceasec to demand abso u.e independence.”

—_— > > Tila PREFERENTIAL CLAUSE,

O rawa, Aug. 24.—A special of the cabinet, called at the instance of Cartwright, was held today, at which a deci-ion was reached to exiend the oper-

ation of the preferential clause of the tariff

to a! countries entitled to it under the most favored nations clause contained in Great Britain’s treaty obligations. Already, under the ruling of the imperial govern- ment, the 123 per cent. reduction ia duties is applicable to goods from France, Ger- many and Belgium. The further extension Wii apply to importations from Argenta, Austria, Hungary, Bolivia, Chili, Colum- bia, Costa Rica, until November 26ih, Muscat, Norway and Sweden, Russia, Spain, toumaniaand Sals alor, or practic- aily toevery country under the sun except the United States and the British colonies, Newfoundland, the Cape, and all the Australian colonies, except New South Wales, which has a free trade tariff, are ehut out from preferential reduction.

2 > —— -

All the poetry, all the > romance, all that is ideal in the wide, wide world, is bound up in that one ~— word: ‘ Mother- ‘twighood.’’ A wo- FSian’s greatest happiness, her greatest duty and her greatest priv- ilege is to become the mother of a healthy, happy child. Untold thousands of wo- men fall short of this because of weakness and dis- : ease of their wo- manly-selves. Either they live childless lives, or for a brief spell are the mothers of puny, sickly children that bring them only pain, and leave them only sorrow.

The woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine or- gans is certain to become an invalid. No

' woman can suffer iy this way and be a

healthy, happy, amiable wife and a compe- tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines of suffering upon the face, destroy the temper, make the once bright eyes dull and the once active brain sluggish, and transform a viva- cious woman into a weak, sickly, invalid.

This is all wrong., It is all unnecessary. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a mar- velous medicine for ailing women. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of matern- ity and makes them strong and healthy. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the expectant months and makes baby’s com- ing easy and almost painless. It guarantees the little pew-comer’s health and an ample supply of nourishment. Thousands of women have testified to its marvelous mer- its. An honest dealer will not endeavor to substitute some inferior preparation for the sake of an extra little selfish profit.

“TI took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription previous to confinemeut,’ writes Mrs. Corda Culpepper, of Tanks, Cottle Co., Texas, “and never did so well in my life. It is only two weeks and I am able to do my work.”’

Off the Malay Const.

Sailing up the coast in a native craft, you may almost fancy yourself one of the early explorers skirting the lovely shores of some undiscovered country. As you sprawl ou the bamboo decking under the shadow of the immense palm leaf sail—which is so ingeniously rig- ged that, if taken aback, the boat must turn turtle, unless, by the blessing of the gods, the mast parts asunder—you look out through half clesed eyelids at a very beautiful coast. The waves

| dance and glimmer and shine in the

sunlight, the long stretch of sand is as yellow as a buttercup, and the fringes of graceful casuarina trees quiver like aspens in the breeze and shimmer in the heat haze. The wash of the waves against the boat’s side and the ripple of the bow make music in your drowsy ears, and as you glide through cluster after cluster of thickly wooded islands you lie in that delightful comatose state in which you have all the pleasure of existence, with none of the labor of living.—‘‘In Court and Kampong,”’ by Hugh Clifford.

mt THE WOODPECKER. ~~

| Pour Characteristics of the Little Dram-

mer of the Woods.

There is an article by Frank M. Chapman in St. Nicholas on “The Little Drummer of the Woods,’’ giving

much curious information concerning the woodpecker. Mr. Chapman says:

If we had a woodpecker in our hands, we should see in the beginning that its bill is not slightly hooked, with the upper mandible turned down at its end and overlapping the under mandible, as in the crow and other birds that ‘‘pick up a living,’’ but that both mandibles are of equal length and cut squarely ¢ at the t=, tis, therefore, like a

edge or chisel.

Perhaps the tip of the bird’s tongue will be seen appearing through its near- ly clcsed mandibles, and our attention is at once attracted by its peculiar shape. We discover that it is remark- ably long, and when fully extended reaches almost if not guite an inch be- yond the point of the bill. It is not flat, like the crow’s, but round and fieshy, and has a sharp, horny point, which, by looking at it very closely, we see has a series of barbs on both sides.

In the meantime our hands have doubtless been pricked by the bird’s tail feathers, each feather being stiff, bristly and pointed at theend. Some of the larger woodpeckers—the pileated and ivorybill, for instance—have this singular kind of tail feather highly de- veloped. The main stem or shaft of the feather is much larger than usual, and each barb growing from this shaft is curved downward and inward and is strong and pointed. Comparing this feather with the flat tail feather of a crow, we see at once how different it is in form.

The wings do not impress us asin any way unusual. They are neither very long nor very short, but the ar- rangement of the toes is so peculiar that they were at once commented upon by a blind girl, to whom I had handed aspecimen of one of these birds. In- stead of the disposition common to most birds, three toes directed forward and oue backward, we discover two front toes and two hind ones, and we will note also that each toe is armed with a strong curved nail,

INVASION OF WASHINGTON.

Admiral Ceckburn’s British Soldiers Loct- ed and Fired the Public Buildings. ‘“‘The last glimmer of twilight was

fading away when (aftcr the battle at

Bla“ensbarg, two miles distant from

Washington) into the well nigh desert-

ed city rede the redoubtable Cockburn

at the head of his band of marauders,’’ writes Clifford Howard in The Ladies’

Home Jcurnal of the invasion and burn-

ing of our national capital by the Brit-

ish forces under Admiral Cockburn in

August, 1814. ‘‘Elated at their decisive

victory over a force nearly twice as

large as their own and thirsting for spoils, the red coated soldiers marched triumphantly toward the capitcl. Dis- charging their firearms at the windows, the soldiers burst in the doors and with

a shout of triumph carried their leader

to the speaker’s chair, from which, with

mock gravity, he put the question,

‘Shall this harbor of the Yankee democ-

racy be burned?’ A yell of affirmation

rang through the hall, and without fur- ther preliminaries papers and other combustibles were piled under the desks and set on fire. In a few minutes this noble edifice that had been in course of construction more than 20 years and containing the library of congress and vast quantities of official documents of great historical value was destroyed. ‘Now thoroughly aroused to their work of plunder, a howling crowd of the desperate marauders hurried to the

White House in the hope perchance of

capturing the president and his wife.

, Finding the house locked and deserted,

they battered down the deors, and, con-

to make this certain means cof

soling themselves for the loss of their |

distinguished captives by a ruthless de- struction of the furniture, they raided the larder and regaled themselves with a hastily prepared feast in the state dining room. Then, destroying the re- maining provisions and breaking and mutilating whatever they could readily lay their hands on, they concluded their visit by setting fire to the home of the president. Numerous other public and private buildings were also cestroyed by fire.’’

A Carpet Kmght,

The following curious definitions of a carpet knight were recently given in an English examination: ‘One who 1€- ceived his knighting upon the field of the clothof gold,’’‘‘a knight who stood op» carpet and had auothcr thrown over bim while being knighted,”’ ‘*the common black beetle, which, when equashed, re sembles all the diferent shades of a brussels carpet,’’ ‘fa Knight which sleeps on a curpet,’’ ‘fa man like, for instance, Sir X. é Co., who is one of the best carpet makers, aud he- cause he did make them so well he was make a knight.’’

A shot was said to go off ‘‘ because the sudden shock in a sort of way frightens the bullet.’”’ And it was de- elared that a dog turns around scveral times before settling down to sleep ‘‘to make sure he is not sitting on any un- pleasant object, such as a black beetle, pin,’’ ete.

A Good Guess of Long Ago.

During the American Revolution an English magazine published an estimate of the North American colonies, Pilac- ing the populaticn then at 2,000,000 and assuming that it would double it- self every 25 years, the writer estimated that in the year 1890 the number wou!d have increased to 64,000,060. This may be taken aus a most remarkable prophecy, inasmuch asthe census of 1890 fixes the total population at 62,622,250.

KLONDYKE |

The Land of Galden Nuggets JOSEPH LADUE, ‘irc'Geta ocionn, sives tho aa

His book reads like “‘ The Arabian Nights” BUT Joseph

Ladue KNOWS whereof be writes. He was the first man oy

the spot when the first gold was discovere ' last August, 1896,

He located one rich claim, and immediately purchased twelve others at a low price before their value was known. He has refused $190,000 for any ONE of these claims, es they are rich with virgin gold nuggets beyond the dreams of avarice,

Joseph Ladue then

Established Dawson City,

at the mouth of the Klondyke and Yukon Rivers, by erectin the first house in the region in September, one month after the gold was first discovered. He bought 178 «cres from the government on the city site where his town lots, 150x60,me § now selling for $5,009 each. ? Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in his trading post investments to have on hand ample capital tocarry out his plans, and there is no wan living who is better Sh on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr. § Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his § old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passda large # portion of his boyhood and eurly manhood. Mr. Ladue left — i his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the § West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful § in gold mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coust, and § finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has § covered almost the entire country since 1882. Mr. Ladueis § a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoiure—a man ot iron § as one must;needs to be to go through the hardships he in and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpsired a the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked his muscies to good advantage to himself with the result of an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Vall which has so suddenly become one of the great centres which human interest throughout the world is focussed. = §. When the wonderful stories began to come down trom t Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at le haif exaggeration. That any such amount ot gold could be § taken in so short a time from a country like that under the — most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredible. But § when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured oub § upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the — #-du whole world (fur modern journatism does this, annihilatin time and space), people began to wonder, and the wonder § erew day by day as the real facts were disclosed, and now § people who are well informed as to the facts declare that hat § Gg, the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the Yukon Valley. pe: Aza we have already said, there is no man alive tot who knows more about this wonderful country than does Me. = Ladue. - What makes his talk of it specially interesting cs reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits: made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the yeal, but from steady living there through the long summer days — and the Jong winter nights year in and year out for 15 years, @ where he now owns the best mining claims on the Klondyke — aud its tributavies. le In presenting his book to the public we do so knowmg — that it is by an authority on the subject of which he wxtes Bis first work entitled
