This is just another case of over-buying. We didn't guess

When acting as guardian, the

it in conformity to the law, or if
appointed by will you may be sure
that the provisions thereof will be
carried out to the letter and prompt
and careful attention given to all
details at all times.
The individual who acts as guard
ian sometimes dies before the child

costly legal proceedings and loss of
property, or he may mismanage the
estate or take advantage of the min

You may be familiar with exper
iences of this kind, where women
and children have lost heavily be
cause of the failure of supposedly
honest guardians to prove trust
worthy. Owing to the security which this
company offers and its perpetual life,
there is no possibility of such occur

THE ZANZIBARIS.
Dsns Stupidity and Amusing Blundtra
of the Natives.
hi the "Aiitohhujriipliy of Sir Henry
M. Stanley" the author says of the
colored natives of central Africa:
"Good as the majority of Zanzilmrls
were, Homo of them were Indeacrlbn
lily and for mc most unfortunately
dense. One man who from his personal
appearance might have been Judged
to be among the most intelligent, was
after thirty months' experience with
his musket unable to understand how
it was to be loaded. lie never could
rememlier whether he ought to drop
the powder or the bullet Into the mus
ket llrst. Another time he was sent
with n mnn to transport a company of
men over n river to enmp. After wait
lug nn hour I strode to the bank of
the river and found them paddling in
opposite directions, each blaming the
other fur his stupidity and, being In a
pnsiiioti of excitement, unable to hear
the advice of men across the river,
who were bawling out to them how to
manage their canoe.
"Another man was so ludicrously
stupid that he generally was saved
from punishment because his mistakes
were so absurd. We were one day
floating down I he Kongo, and, it being
near camping time, I bade him, as he
happened to be bowman on the occa
sion, to stand by nud seize the grass
on the bank to arrest the boat when I
should call out. In a little while we
came to n fit place, nnd I cried, 'Hold
hard, Kirnugo!' 'Please God, master,'
he replied and forthwith sprang on
the shore nnd seized the grass with
both hands, while we, of course, were
rapidly swept down river, leaving him
alone aud solitary on the bauk. The
boat's crew roared nt the ridiculous
sight, but nevertheless his stupidity
cost the tired meu n bnid pull to as
cend again, for uot every place was
available for a camp.
"He it was also who on an occasion
when we required the branch of a spe
cies of nrbutus which overhung the
river to be cut away to allow the ca
noes to be brought nearer to the bank
for safety actually went astride of the
branch aud chopped away until he fell
Into the water with the branch and
lost our ax. He had seated himself on
the outer end of the branch."
THE SKIPPER'S WHITE LIE.
What Happened at Night and What
the Passenger Was Told.
It was a dirty uiglit. to use a sailor's
phrase, aud the talk in one corner of
the smoking room drifted to events at
sea and the childlike faith that passen
ger roposo lu navigators.
Said the scientist who had been col
lecting 8Hfclmena on u coral reef:
"I've oftcu heard men and women
say they felt so safe with Captain So?
nnd-so, and I've wondered, too, wheth,
er their sense of security would still
be retained If these favored travelers
knew exactly what happened on ship
board during a voyage. For my own
part, I have more conlldence than ever
lu a enptuiu of my acquaintance since
I learned that he could tell a white He
when It was necessary to calm the
fears of n nervous traveler. It so hap
pened that .one foggy night 1 was
awakened by the sudden stoppage and
reversal of the engines. I Jumped out
of my bunk, went on deck and was
told by the second otlicer that we had
had a narrow squeeze. It appeared
that we hud nearly run down a schoon
er as she silently crossed our bows and
disappeared into the haze.
"Next morning a woman passenger
who sat nt the captain's table asked
him whether the engines had been
stopped and reversed, and he replied:
'Yes; we sonietlnies do this to test the
engineer's watch nnd see f our ma
chinery Is In proper order. We do It
nt night so ns to create no excitement.'
Then he got the woman to describe
what she had heard and asked her.
'Did you find much time between tho
stopping ami reversing?"
" 'No,' she replied.
"'Then,' said the skipper, 'that show
ed how well everything was working,
did It not?'
"When I got the skipper's ear I told
him confidentially that I didn't think
the schooner's engines had worked ns
well ns ours, nnd he remorked that It
Dijght have been worse. Whether he
meant fhe lie or the Incident I didn't
Inquire, but suspect It wasn't the
lie." New York Post.
Knew What She Was Doing.

coughing that the eyes of the whole
congregation were fixed upon her.

"In the Shadow or the Chair."
A man who was tried for his lite ha
written a powerlul story of which the
above is the title. Only two men living
know who wrote it. so carefully has the
author concealed his Identity, and yet lu
telling of hia terrible ordeal be gives a
picture ao vivid that one feels he baa held
back nothing. It ia a wonderful story

LAW OF GRAVITY VIOLATED.
Conditions Under Which Water Ac
tually Flows Upward.
"Water seeks Its level" Is nn ex
pression heard so frequently ns to be
almost trite, nnd yet the law has its
exceptions. There are conditions un
der which water actually flows up
ward and rises above Its source. If a
glass tube be dipped Into water the
column inside will be above the level
of the surrounding surface. Moreover,
If a tube of half the diameter be sub
stituted the column doubles Its height.
The water creeps along the Inside of
the tube, owing to the adhesion, nnd
forms a cup shaped depression at the
top.
An explanation Is not difficult. It
can bo proved mathematically that If
the diameter of a circle be diminished
one-half the circumference Is also re
duced to that extent, while the area Is
one-fourth of Its former value. The
circumference of the column of water
being reduced one-half. Its contact
with the glass, and hence the adhesive
force, Is also diminished to that extent,
while the cross section, and hence the
weight, is decreased to a fourth of
what It was before. Therefore the sec
ond column can be twice the height of
the first without exceeding the lifting
power.
Remarkable os the underlying prin
ciples of this phenomenon undoubtedly
nre, nature made use of them long be
fore mnn made their discovery. Every
tree and flower adds Its testimony.
The core of a tree or plant. Instead of
being a single open channel, consists
of a spongclikc substance containing
many miniature tunnels, through
which the sap and moisture collected
by the roots flow upward in small riv
ulets, rising higher and higher In
