M. CLAM IN WALL STREET
(Continued from r"e S.)

Aft-T the lunch M. Van Hibb. r uC)
reurtcy did introduce me lo another
famous millionaire, M. tSrlppenn.:'.
'i his niiiroMiilr is nmsi skillful in the
diagnosis, if one company is stcR or

the colt. Often that stimulation is s
powerful that lht company tuns away!
It cannot restrain the exuberance!
M. Grippermaii is busy always witii
H companies which need stimulant
ind with the infant new companies.
These patients are frail also. Yet M
t'lrippeiman has always the life-saving
i rparatus at hand.
With kindness M. Grippennan in-
ited me to remain in his office during
cne meeting of those directors!
Terhaps, to-morrow, 1 shall be one of
those directors! M. Grippennan did
rot say so much, but I have a suspio
len of good luck. As those millionair
es appeared I was introduced to them.
All greeted me with politeness. On
rHlllonaire said: "Ah, M. Clam! 1 see
by that newspaper today that you h.iv-
closed the deal for Boa Constrictor.
You, then, are the partner of M.
Rothschild? Those Rothschilds ar
ny dear friends cf clv.hiho. !."
I said: "M. Gates do s honor me t
i.-.ueh. I know nothing of M, Roths
child. It is the American joke."
The reply: "Ha. ha! All right, M.
Clam. If you wish to remain incoi;
eto, very well!"
Diable! "What could I do? j
Immediately M. Grippennan did call
these directors to order. He said:
'Are all ready? Very well. First, v.

Sleu In Africn. ami especially iu !!
foutral AfricH, believe that their woui
en Are their Interiors, and nutty ecu
turles jtiro, says the Chicago Trib
ime, they tuaiU' a law that has worn it
seif iuto n custom (list women tuns
mknowlodite this by til ways kuceliuj
when tlicy moot a man.
iMiff MacdotiitUI, who spent maaj
years as a missionary iu ttiur cotnitry,
ays Unit African women hold a most
uYKnulod position a tut ur? looked upor
pretty Kcucrally as boasts of hunlft
caiMble of doinc all the hanl work
When :i woniiui uiwts any man, be il
her husband or a straticr, tit home ot
on the toiul she is expected to "taidi
Wii!a"-that is, to ktitvl and clap ttoi
bunds to the lord of creation as b
p:iSMs. Although a wouiau may hav
tlaves of her own, she observe this
custom whenever she meets thetu on
the highway.
MaedonsUl adds: "Whenever we saw
woman go out of her way with the
Intention of kuoellng before us, though
she carried a hundredweight ou her
head, knowing that she would have to
get up with It, we shouted, 'You are
losing your way; this is the path,' aud
he took It, glad that she might dis
pense with this custom."
Certain It is that If the African wo
man kneels before a stranger or slave
she prostrates herself most humbly be
fore her husband, her lord and master
He Is her father, and she is hJ child;
he commands, and she obeys; he may
Uifllct punishment, and she accepts it.
The title of "father" is given to all
old people. A man of thirty will say
"I am only a child; ask the old man."
The woman must submit, of course.
She is her husbaud's chattel; lie has
bought her for two skiiis of buck
and this is a fair price for one wife
fie often pets thetu in payment foi
debts.
If a girl is not a lirst wife she counts
for little, ;ts these Africans usually
have one chief wife and three or four
minor wives. A man who is married a
few years Is expected to have junior
wives. The chief wife has the super
intendence of the others and looks
after the household. The punishment
she Inflicts for laziness Is to banish the
Junior wife from her meals until hun
ger brings her to her senses. If a
Junior wife Is obstreperous she Is put
In a slave stock.
The authority of a chief wife is not
a matter to Jest with. If a junior wife
gets unruly the whipping post is made
use of. This does not annoy her lord,
for African men have little sentiment
for their wives and feel none for th!r
Junior wives. They are his chattels,
having the same value as his cattle,
perhaps less. When a man is pressed
for money be usually sells bis wife and
cot his cattle. Tie expects them to cul
tivate, the soil and cut dowu the trees,
and when bo ;;!als time or has the in
cHnation ho ihem.
Why Mrtnia It'ual,
Gold does not tarnish like oilier metal
because it Is not tided upon by oxygen
or water. It Is the moisture Iu the t
musphero which causes other m,tli ,
titrulsb, owing to their oxidation. Wa
ter contains a large proportion of oxy
gelt, and It is the oxygen, of c ntl'sit
In the 'iniist air combining with the
surface of the metals that covers lliein
with tarnish. Platinum, like gold, re
sists th, ttitluenoe of oxygen and tools
tntv and when pure neither rusts nor
tarnishes. Alcoiinoiiu nNo does not
