PASSING OF THE LEECH.
Metllclno Itiu Tarnrcl the Cold Shoulder on
an Old Friend Thnt la Still Kfleellvo.
A young man with n black eye wns led
Into n Brooklyn drug store in Fulton street
the othor niglit by some friends to see
what oould be done to nrnke tho eye pre
sentable. The druggist skl thnt he could
not pulnt tho eye, which the young man
Insisted was the only proper course, but a
leech could be applied. There was some
argument to the effect that leeches were
old fashioned, but the young man ooniont
ed to an operation. The druggist brought
out n jar six inches in height and fished
around lnsido with one hand. He brought
out n crawling, black object that ho im
mediately transferred toallttlo pasteboard
box, In one side of which he had cut n
small hole, near the edga in the cover.
Holding tho holo up to the young man's
eye, the druggist shook tho box a little and
the leech's head wns soon, t work reducing
the slzo of tho dark patch tinder tho oyo.
Meanwhile tho company got some instruc
tion about leeches.
"Tho medicative leech is not so much in
demand as it ought to be," said tho drug
gist, "and tho main difficulty in this
country is to get leeches that will not cause
blood pohonlng. Tho decrease in the use
of leeches by tho medlual profession is re
markable. In England the largest two
hospitals formerly called for about 0,000
of tliom, now they call for 50 or 100
leeches ttt irregular Intervals. Owing to
a lack of demand and overproduction in
tho old country, tho price has fallen there
to about one-half of that easily obtained 60
years ago. In this country a few placos
produco leeches, but they are not so good
ns these that are Imported. Tho best are
brought from Norway in tubs of rich loam.
Jn England tho spccklod leech, which is
rated In Hungary for tho English trado,
Is the most popular. Tho leech Is used
almost exclusively for romovlng blood
from the eye after the bruiso is a day old.
When tho eyo is first bruised, the best
thing to uso Is raw meat. Tho best leoches
aro those that hang on tho longest. These
nro from Norway, and they aro long and
Blender."
"I guess this came from Norway," said
tho sufferer, wincing. "It pulls hard
enough."
"Oh, you will fcol ns lively ns a cricket
after this is over," said thq,druKglnt."
"You needn't be afraid of aiwrimpurltlos,
such ns some havo couinWthed of whon
using American lccchos.Bomo aro raised
In Florida, but they nfa not held to bo
very good. Tho dangjft of having leeches
raised In warm countries is that tho bite
Is dangerous, giving riso to blood poison
Ing. That's, Wlmt is snid of American
leeches, but.I never hud any experience
with thorn.
"How much?" said tho mnn after the
leoeb had let go.
"Twcnty-fivo conts," said tho 'jslet
New York Sun.

Senator AVtilllnRtnn's I.i'anl Victory.
Baltimore, Aug. 21. Judge Harlan, of
the Baltimore supreme court, yesterday
rendered a decision adverse to the
plaintiff in the proceedings in which
William T. Malster, a candidate for
the Republican nomination for mayor
of the city, seeks to enjoin the Repub
lican city committee from passing upon
the qualifications of delegates to the
convention. Malster is known as the
anti-machine candidate, his opponent
being Theodore Marburg, formerly a
member of the great tobacco manufac
turing concern of that name. United
States Senator Wellington has publicly
declared his purpose to defeat Malster
and nominate Marburg, and Malster
asserts that the Republican committee
means to use other means to unseat
his delegates. The ground upon which
the case was decided Is that the court
has no Jurisdiction.

CHARACTERISTICS AND ANTIQUITY
OF AFRICAN PYGMIES,

In lHSfi ytiecr IVnturcn nf the Olion
gos of West Africa,
The smallest rnco of mankind nro tho
pygmies of Afrlon. They nro probnbly, too,
the oldest. They exist nt the prosent time
Muttered throughout the forest) of tho
Lomigo ooast nnd thenoo northward be
yond the equator. They haunt the forests
of central Africa the terrible fighters
that did so much damage to Stanley and
the Kmln expedition. They lie hidden In
tho southern fastnesses of Abysslnln, They
nre tho bushiuen who skulk ns wnnderlng
hordes in Griqualnnd, Niunnqunland and
Bechiinnnland. They roam in tho Kala
hari depert. Nortli of tho Kalohorl thoy
dwell In tho Gorman possessions. Heforo
the Dutch colonlzntlon In 1060 they pos
sessed all tho region from tho onpo to the
Zambezi river and boyond
The nntlqulty of tho pygmies Is shown
by tho ullusions to them on undent monu
ments nnd In literary works. There Is a
figure of a pygmy on ono of tho onrllest of
extant Epyptlun monuments, dating prob
nbly as for hack as 5,000 or 0,000 jcars.
By his sldo 1b to bo seen tho inscription

(west - h ;) lundo n great stir in Europe
when tho story first camo out. Ono hun
dred und forty miles south of tho equator,
nnd to tho enst of n southern tributary of
tho Ogowe, Du Chnilluo in June, 1805,
suddenly struck iu tho snvngo forest on a
village of wild dwarf negroes, culled
Obongo. The vilhigo, whenco on tho ap
proach of Du Chaillu's party all tho In
habitants had fled, consisted of n cluster
of extraordinary llttlo huts, each of a low,
oval bhape, llko that of a gypsy tent,
about 4 feet wide, and tho highest part
about 4 feet from tho ground. Tho huts
wero each mndo of tho llcxiblu branches of
trees, arched over nnd fixed Into the
ground, tho wholo covered with largo
leaves. Insido theso huts thoro wcro three
or four stlckB laid down at each end for
the man and woman to sleep on, und In
tho middle of tho earth floor smoldered
tho ombcrs of a flra
A llttlo farther to tho cast Du Challlu
camo on another village of tho llttlo folk.
Not to ulnrm them, ho mndo for their set
tlement on tiptoo, accompanied only by
thrco of his mon and two guides. In a
retired nook of tho forest ho counted 12
huts of tho sumo slight mnko as in tho
enso of thoso already described. Yet tho
village had caught tho alarm and every
household was truly "not nt home," En
tering uninvited, Du Chnlllu found tho
nbodes very filthy, nnd tho Intrusive vis
itors wero stung out of tho place by
swarms of ileus. Another quarter of a
mile through tho forest they approached a
third village nnd again with the utmost
caution, the Ashnngo guidos, moreover,
dangling a hunch of bends before tho eyos
of tho rotreatlng Obongos. Their fears,
though, wero not to bo allayed; they
scumpered off in a quaking hurry. But
Du Chnlllu managed to surprlso thrco old
women and one young man. Ono of tho
thrco hags, touchod by the beauty of tho
beads ho gnvo thorn and plucking up heart
of gruce, fated tho runawuy men, saying
they wcro ns frightened as squirrels that
cried "'Quo I quol" and whilo so speaking
sho twisted her body in suoli odd contor
tions as to make our traveler's party all
laugh outright Whon, howevor, Du Chnll
lu proceeded to unroll his tupo in order to
mousuro tho bold slirow, her fears returnod
to hor. Tho unwinding tape was a mys
terious snnko sho had nover beforo clapped
eyes on, and sho trembled nil over. Still,
by maglo of presents and flatteries, her
nerves gradually calmed, nnd sho at last
let hersolf got measured 1 foot M inohes.
Tho young man stood 4 feet 0 Inchos.
In color the Obongos nro of a dirty yel
low, lighter tliau tho Ashango negroes
amid whom they dwell; their eyes look
restless and untamable. Their foreheads
exceedingly low and narrow, cheekbones
raised; legs short in proportion to tho
trunk; palms of tho hands white. The hair
of tho head grows in short, curly tufts, In
marked contrast to tho bushy hrilr of tho
neighboring negroes, who dress their linir
In a mass of plaits, a fashion impossible
to tho Obongos. Tho young mnn had on
his legs and brcnstolso un unusual growth
of hair, distributed likewise in short, curly
tufts. All accounts witnessed to thick
tufts of hair growing on the legs nnd
breasts of tho Obongo men. Their cloth
ing consists of pieces of wornout cloth,
which they cither buy or got from the
Ashnngos. Such rugs, by way of cover to
their nakedness, nnd a few bent sticks, by
way of house, constitute their wholo de
fense ngalnst tho heavy ruins und winds
and storms of tho year.
So shy In tholr intercourse with other
people, the Obongos are yet brave hunters,
nnd very skillful In the uso of the bow and
poisoned nrrows, ns also In trapping wild
animals and catching fish, tho surplus of
which, fresh or dried, they barter with
their neighbors for plantains, Iron Imple
ments, etc. The woods uround their vil
lages arc planted thick with traps and pit
falls, in which they witch not only smaller
game, hut nluo elephants, pythons, goril
las, etc. Burled In tho nlmont impenetra
ble forests between tho Ogowo and the
Kongo, the Obongos shift their camp
whenever gume begins to grow source.
Knowing nothing of tillage or pasture,
they aro a people of purest gentry thut
from ages luimi'moilul have never dono a
hand's turn of work, unless only In noble
sport. London Globe.
