The htihmen, Africa's pygmies of the South, who succumbed ao quickly to civilisation, sre becoming rarer every day. Famine, war and the white nutn's encroachments have killed off thousands, t The one great achievement of these children of the woods la their skillful use of poison, In the hands of s mors subtle peopls the poisoned srrow might have been an Invincible weapon, but for the huxhmnn It only delayed Inev itable defeat. The bushtnan'a arrow la a toy of light reed until he turn It Into a certain death desler by covering the tip with one of his favorite poisons. A certain caterpillar of the Jungle, the most venomous snakes and spiders, pohe-nous roots and leaves all yield their power to kill to the use of these natives. Sfiut men of the tribe prepare the poison for their purpose, usually heat ing them In a dish before el'pplng the dtirt Into them. While wnltlng for their poisonous brew to cook, the ixilwin con coctors dance about the tire in excite ment at the coming hunt or combat. Skulking In breathless silence upon an Imimlnnry enemy, they suddenly leap up and discharge the fatal arrows, sfter which they shift easily to the pft'l of the victim, and writhe and howl with sll the agony of the hunted. Exhaustion and the completion of the poison put an end to this vivid rehearsal.

Desth valley. California, Is said to be the lowest dry land In the fnlted States; It Is 278 feet below sea level. The nsme of Death valley la gruesome enough In Itself, hut to enhance this effect the mountains thereabouts are cslled the Funeral range. While Death vnlley Is the lowest dry hind In the country Mount Whit ney, which Is less ihan eighty miles from the point of lewest depression. Is one of the highest points of land in the fnlted States, Its summit being H.oOl feet ahove ses level. Death valley was formerly the hH of a stilt InUe and Is IV) miles In length. A small lnlt nmrh still oc cupies s part of It. There are few phices In rvmh valley where fresh wa ter Is ohtalnniile. The best known are Itennett wells nnd Sara toga springs. For the greater part of the time Death valley la a gigantic furnace of burning hot shifting sand dimes. At times this strange desert is filled with wonderful colors. The air I very dry, nnd st dawn the light Is very white and minus the mist usually associated with that time of day. Gradually a faint azure tint appears and deepens shove the gray-tan dunes. As the sun rises over the desert the pastel tints ; of sky snd sands burn Into brighter shades nntll st noon the very stmos I phere vibrates Into hot vividness. ; Toward twilight the reds of sky snd desert shade Into deep purples and black.

Collins Wxo Old Publications. An odd bit of the past turns np In a list of old publications soon to be sold at auction, namely, to give It Its full, Imposing title. "A Sermon Preached nt White-Chapel, In the Pres ence of Miiny Honorable and Worship ful, the Adventurers and Planters for Virginia." snd "Published for the Ben efit and Use of the Colony, Plunted, and to bee Planted there-and for the Advancement of their Christian Pur pose," The Kev. William Rymonrts preached that sermon, notes the Chris tian Science Monitor, and described Virginia ss a land "with the fruitful ness whereof England, our mlstresse, cannot compare, no, not when she Is In her greatest pride." Yet he preached to rather a sorry congregation, sava history, largely composed of imml-J grants wno nan railed at home through bad habits little calculated to help In new country. BstUs of the Giants. . According to Brewer's "Htatorle Note Book," neither the battle of Wa terloo por the battle of Austerllts was known as the "Battle of the Giants." but the battle of Marignsno was so designated. Tills battle was fonght on September 13. IBIS, and during which the allied French' and Venetian smiles under Francois I snd d'AlvIano defeated the allied Italian and Swiss armies. The carnage was very great, as 12,000 of the conquered and 4,000 of the Tlctors were left dead and dy ing on the field. Trivulzlo, who had been present In 18 pitched battles, called them all child's play compared with this "combat of the giants." . Question for Debate. "' , Judging hy union standards, the good ' lady In Proverbs, belauded as she has been for centuries, set a most questionable example. Her price might he above rubles, but what business had she to "rise -up early In the morning, before It was yet light" and continue all day 'her Jndustrlal - pace-settlngT It eouldnt have been good for her husband either, for all we hear of his activity Is thst he praised her" and that he "sat In the gates" which latter I take to be the Biblical equivalent of sitting on tiie porch of a country store with his fret on the rnlj, taking all her labor for grunted.
