One of the first explorers of the In terior of South Africa was William Cotton Oswell, a noted hutiter and a friend of Livingstone, to whom he ren dered Important aid. Iu his biography the following story Is given from one of bis Africnu letters: An Incident highly creditable to Kaffir womanhood occurred Just as we reached Mabotso. The women, as Is their custom, were working lu the fields, for they hoe and the ineu sew. A young man, standing by the edge of the bush, was chatting with them. A lioness sprang on him and was carrying him off, when one of the women ran after her, caught her by the tall and was drugged for some little distance. Hampered by the man In her mouth and the woman behind her, she slackened her pace, whereupon her assailant straddled over her back and hit her across the nose and head with n heavy short handled hoe uutil she dropped her prey and slunk to cover. The Conductor' Mistake. A conductor on the St. Louis and Suburban railroad had such a good run of business Sunday nfternoou that he had difficulty In keeping himself sup plied with small change. Many pas sengers who patronised his car handed him dollars and bills of larger denomi nations In payment of their fares. The conductor, however, managed to get along fairly well until a woman carry ing a tiny Infant boarded his car. When he approached the woman for her fare she handed him a five dollar bill. 'Is that the smallest you have, uind- nm?" queried the conductor, fearing another stringency Jn change. The woman looked at the conductor and theu nt her baby and made this surprising reply, "Yes; I have been mnrrled only twelve months." St Louis Ololie-Democrat. Men, Women and Fact. Tact has always been considered the peculiar attribute of woman. "With a woman's tact," Is one of the stock phrases of the novelist. Rut a writer In one of the American magazines and his view Is upheld by nn English magazine which quotes lilni upsets this tradition by declaring that men are more often tactful than women. Men, It Is submitted, are swift to know when to speak and when uot to speak when It Is wise to withhold even a look and that is why a medi ocre man will succeed when even a clever woman will fall, why men are greater In diplomacy, iu all things that require finesse. Still it Is a question whether men really succeed better in diplomacy. What about the woman who Is the "power behind the throne?" now the Dalr Wu Named. Of all the flowers of the field the daisy Is the most appropriately named. Trobably not one person In a hundred understands the significance of this little flower. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago It got Its name, and In all parts of the world the name means the same thing. The nature lover who named the daisy had In his study of the wild flower observed that It opened Its eye with the opening of the day and closed It with the setting of the sun. So with the simplicity of the true artist he called It the eye of the day, the days eye or, as we spell It today, the daisy. New York Tress.

"Might I have had my own will," he tells us, "I would not have married Wisdom herself. If she would have had me." No quainter piece of polite literature can lie found than tho letter which our philosopher addressed to his wife as a kind of nec essary compliment on the occasion ot the death of nn only daughter. And the alacrity with which he relegates to riutareh the task of consoling her lu lier allllctlou testifies to the entire con sistency of his habitual claim that tho dignity of marriage Is best subserved when a husband refrains from becom ing too fond of his wife. Even In view of this consideration, however, such n Irlef'nnd refrigerated epistle suggests an amazing degree of reticence In a writer who needs only the turning of a faucet to enable him to pour forth a quenchless stream of Ideas on nny and every subject from thumbs to Im mortality. Martha Raker Dunn in At lantic. A Stranne Fennt. A curious feast Is observed by the Mohammedan Inhabitants of India, In which the origin of the custom known as painting the town red may possibly be traced. It Is called the IIoll and consists chiefly In the plentiful sprin kling upon all and sundry of a certain red preparation called hull powder. It stains the white clothes of the natives with nn ugly, dirty looking red that conjures up liefore timid eyes dread visions of bloody fights and ghastly mutinies. The powder Is made In two shades the one vermilion, the other rose red and lxth are used Impartial ly by the observers of the ceremony, who delight In bedaubing their faces with the powders until they look like strange and hideous denizens of hades come up, still glowing with the fires of that region. Among the lietter classes this festival Is falling into dis favor, for It lends to many unpleasant excesses and had Its origin In some de cidedly dissipated sceue In ancient heathen history. Gladstone aa a "Stipe." A reference to "The Corslean Broth crs" recalls nn amusing story of Mr. Gladstone's visit to the Lyceum when Irving was playing In this drama. Mr, Gladstone nt the time was not bur dened by the cares of office, and ouo evening he dropped In nt the Lyceum, where he was occasionally accommo dated with a chnlr at the "wings." On this night, however, when the stage was set for the opern ball in "The Cor slean Brothers" his curiosity led him Into one of the lwxes for spectators In the scene. I'p went the curtain; Mr, Glndstoue was nt once descried by the pit and greeted with shouts of Joy which cnused him hastily to withdraw. "This," says Mr. Austin, "was his first nnd only appearance in the drama out side of the dear old 'legitimate' at Westminster." Westminster Gazette. The Wtfe'a Iteproarh. In nn address to a temperance socie ty a lecturer told how drink had onco caused the downfall of a brnvo soldier. In the course of the snd story he said: 'Sometimes, nfter a debauch, the man would le repentant humble. He would promise his wife to do better. But, alas, the years taught her tho bar renness of nil such promises. Aud one night, when ho was getting to bo an old man, a prematurely old man, thin limbed, stoop shouldered, with red rimmed eyes, he said to his wife sadly: " 'You're a clever woman, Jenny, a courageous, active, good woman. You should have married n better man than I am, dear.' "She looked nt him, and, thinking of what he had once been, she answered In a quiet voice: " 'I did, James.' " A Pecnllarltr of the Crow. Most birds cannot carry anything which their mouths nre too small to contain. The crow is nn exception at times. Iu Vermont, near Manchester, five crows were seen to come down Into an apple orchard. They came dally and after a time the owner discovered that they were taking apples from a tree bearing the mellowest fruit. Each crow Jammed Its closed bill Into nn apple, raised Its head and flew to a tall pine tree, where the fruit was eat en. More remarkable still Is the fact that crows will sometimes carry turkey and hen eggs from a nest In the snme manner. Proper Kind of Window.

The Flrat Armored Mhlp. According to tho best authorities on curiosities of the navy ami warfare In general, the first armored vessel was lnumhed lu the year l."i.'!0. It was one of tho fleet manned by the Knights of St. John and was entirely covered with sheets of lead. The accounts of the times leave us in darkness as to the thickness of this lead armor, but they are very positive In the statement that they were of sufficient . strength to "successfully resist all the shots of that day." At the siege of Gibraltar lu 1.S2 the French and Spaniards used war vessels which were armored with "light Irou boom proofing over their decks nnd to the water's edge." The very first practical use of wrought Iron plates as a defense for the sides of vessels was by the French lu tho Cri mean war In 1S.":!. Janipem of the Sen. Many of the Inhabitants of the sea ore good Jumpers and some have be come famous. Among them should bo mentloued the tarpon or silver ki.ig, huge fish with scales that gleam like Fllver. In the Pacific waters the tuua, an ally of the horse mackerel, is noted for Its leaps. Sometimes a school sweeps up the coast, aud the powerful fish, often welshing 800 pounds, nre seen In the nlr in every direction. They dart like an arrow, turn gracefully five or six feet lu the air and come down, keeping the water for acres In a foam. nnd, If not the grentest, they aro cer tainly the most graceful of the Junip ers of the sea.

The bankruptcy court can boast some delightfully naive rejoinders. "How, sir, Is It possible," angrily demanded the opposing counsel of the bankrupt, "to live In the luxurious style you have affected on if'JOn a year?" The witness replied, with tin air of Justifiable pride, that thnt "was a problem to whieli lie had devoted considerable time iu the Interests of social economy, and the C3Ults of his humble efforts were now before the court."
