They will touch her vanity, and she will love me tor them." , tut the muu of action said: ,"How old fashioDed! 1 shall-corner the stock market, and that will bring her."

A traveler of the upper Nile thus de scries a typical native village: "The hd.ises are built of Nile mud, each house accommodating a family of no mutter what siae, the Inhabitants of ea-lt village almost nil related to each other, comprising sometimes several hundreds of people. "Their streets are littered with filth, animals of every kind obstruct one's path, dogs growl and snarl at the ap pearance and intrusion of a stranger, and women Uee, hiding their faces In their yashmaks lest a white man Bhould behold their features. Files In swarms settle on the children and lay their eggs on their eyelids, unwashed, because they believe it to be contrary to their religion to wash or remove the flies from their eyes." Chicago Record Herald. Fighter In Loadon Streets. ' Tbe reign of George II. was a great fighting time. Every man who went abroad knew that be might have to fight to defend himself against footpad or bully. Most men carried a stout stick. When Dr. Johnson beard that a man had threatened to horsewhip him he ordered a thick cudgel and was easy in bis mind. There were no police, and therefore a man had to fight It cannot be doubted that the martial spirit of the country, which was extraordinary, was greatly sustained by the practice of fighting, which prevailed alike in all 'inks.

The angler's art Is but a pretext, or, , rather, the incentive to a ramble, and not the sole object of tbe fisherman, unless, alas, he belongs to .that tea common, variety, the man whose sole object is his catch. 1 Such a man flsbe with a worm, hides flngerllngs In tbe depth of his basket and photographs bis catch as a witness of his crimes. He is' not a fisherman, but a butcher. A yellow primrose on the river's bank Is to him a primrose and nothing more. The true fisherman loves to catch fish, to match his wits against the weary trout, hut as he wanders from pool to pool the songs' of the birds greet him rostfully. Every turn In the stream reveals a nook In which strange wild flowers nestle. The gentle ex citement of the sport prevents the scene from becoming monotonous. Ths element of chance, the uncertainty of the catch, add the drop of tabasco sauce which gives zest to the day, And j the noontide meal by the brink of tbe stream! When did a meal have a more delightful flavor? Delmonlco never served a trout like unto those we have eaten by the banks of a mountain brook with the clear blue sky above, the waving forest round about and tbe murmuring stream at our feet. The bour of contemplation comes: afterward, with the pipe ,of piace In our band Instead of the relinquished rod. How far off the city seems! Are there such tilings as corporations, trusts, stocks, bonds, electric lights that amaze the sight, harsh warnings of trolley gongs, the rumble und grind of the wheels and the brakes on die elevated road which affright the esr! The harshest note that breaks the still ness here Is the Loom of tbe bittern Is the distant marsh. Home to camp the fisherman goes, taking a cast In this silent pool ' in which the trout rose "in the forenoon to his cast, but missed" the fly, or In that daft hole deep under the bank . In which a vigilant eye may detect lbs ' brown sides of a trout with lazily warr- ; lug fins mid tail, an old campaigner, not easily caught. Dr, A. T.
