I wonder if I over bore my friend as that friend bores me?" sighed a fuu.li nian as he bowed out a visitor from his office. . Certainly, every body is at timoa a bore, for this question of bores has two sides, writes Harkley Harker in the Sow York Weekly. There is no such thing as boring with an auger into a granite block. There is no such thing as boring with your finger into a pinq log. A so cial bore must meet a social sensitive. Some men are never bo rod by anybody; they are of such unfalllag good nature, such philosophies patience anX helpful ness toward all, they read men as elrar ly and judge them so charitably, that, tho most persistent, bothersome fellow docs not exasperato nor weary them. They say Nome skillful word, they listen, ,-et go on with their own affairs, they .ire masters of tact, and they aro wise j nough to foresee that the time may j ?ome when themselves will want a favor. But there aro others to whom even a lovely child is a bore. Thoir . bust friends lxre them -more than half the time. These peoplo aro in a chronic condition of selfishness, and every one bores them who fails to contribute ; something to their majesties comfort or happiness. More than half the bores arc not bores at all. fn fact we our selves are boreablc we are hypersensi tive. "We want our friendships to be all receipts and no outgoes; and if a friend insists on our doing a littlo something for him by way of amusement in return we aro bored. I say we; yet not all of us, kind reader, at all times. YVe mean to .give and take generally. Hut wo have our times and seasons of being over-sensitive, when even our dear old mother herself would seem to lorc us. "I bore you," said a shabby gentle man . to a young financier in the back room of a bank some years ago. "To confess the truth, you do," replied the young man, smartly. The old man got quietly out of his chair, folded up his patent, which he had been exhibiting, and politely took his griprsack and him self otf. That patent has now become worth its millions, and the smart young financier is now at work as a clerk in the, office of the great company of which rhc old inventor is president. Had this financier been less nervous or sensitive he might not have so missed his fortune. It is hardly safe to 'tell any decent man that he liores you. The result is stinging, and is rarely forgotten. In fact, 1 think patience to endure being bored, and not show your fret, is one of the happiest qualities of mind for suc cessfully dealing with men. Who is a lxrc? Tho man with a hobby. The tedious, uninteresting talker. The borrower. The fellow who 1 toasts and tf lis about himself all tho while. The i"nend who can't keep a good situation six months, and always comes round for new letters of introduction. Tho in veterate funny fellow, who can never talk sober sense. The homely woman who gets too near you when conversing on her long yarns. The dudisli youth who makes a long, long call and sits in dumb silence expecting you to do all the entertaining. The man or woman who calls too often. The person who persecutes you with genuinely kint? invitations to come and visit himand will never take no for an answer. The fellow who is always on the contrary side, and fires up with; '"Let us argue the point." The good soul who is always preaching to you "that smoking is kill jig you." The curious person who picks and peeps, that he or she may find ou a secret that you do not wish to tell. The very, very smart man who always wants to teach you something. The vis itor on whose face you see constantly written, "What shall wo do next to amuse ourselves?" notwithstanding' you have just jumped from one thing to an other ever since he or she has been a guest in tho house. The writer of lengthy letters full of platitudes, which keep you continually in his debt. The man with nothing to do, who drops in on you when you have every thing to do. The list is capable of addition. Some persons would bore you who would not bore me. I am vexed by some whom yon call "perfectly delightful." Taste has much to do with tho matter, tho hidden law of likes and dislikes.- Hence never allow myself to take another person's word for it; I'll wait and see il I am bored. Some men begin by boring you; but they end by endowing and blessing you. I know a certain college professor who is the most tedious per son in the world for the first half day that you are in his company. But aftet that he seems to wake up; he lets yo into his very soul. His company is thr finest deligbt. My experience is that they who talk most about bores are themselves even less careful about trying other people's patience than ordinary mortals who do not have so much to say on the subiect. Good nature, sound health, a manly or womanly heart, full of sympathy for the rest of mankind, is not very often bored. We mortals are all here together on the footstool. Take us as we run, wo are not so very different one from another. The earth is filling up and elbows are touching; square miles are being popu lated. Wo must help and bo helped. We must learn to laugh at each other's foibles and find the jewel in every heart, for there certainly is one. It is going to be a worse world for the over sensitive soul who is only seeking his own comfort and wants nothing from the rest of us except what, he can make contribute to his own happiness. Even the most incorrigible bore' can oe advised. Try it. Tell him- kindly that he is tiresome on certain-" lines. You are his friend. Get him right, and frankly set him right. You will be sur prised to discover how often the bore is in perfect ignorance of his offense. If he is a genuine good fellow, you will see hint blush with the sharre of: the information; it will - be unspeakably painful to him; he can hardly believe you at first. But later on he will thank you fervently, and he will improve his manners, greatly to. your own and his own social comfort and welfare. There are few of us, however, who are inno cent enough ourselves to attempt this anlass we say: "Tell me, as I teli vou." HUMAN TIGERS. Bloody Deeds Performed by Fero cious Africans. Disguised In the Sklr.n or Wild Beasts They Waylay ami Feast ITpon tlio Ilotlies of Ioia Travelers. 1 This simulation of lycanthropy, says a letter from Africa in Ooldthwaite's Geographical . Magazine, is known here by the name of "Kuyon," which has lecu translated into Krovboy English us the man tiger, although, the practice Is not wholly confined to men. The Krovboy English name is a misnomer, as it is well known that no tigers exist in Africa, but it is' also a well-known f;ict that there are man-eating leopards. In one month, in a district comprising some twenty square miles, more than twenty people were killed by the leop ards. At first the writer was very skep tical as to the power of this animal to carry off human beings, but that power has been fully substantiated. It is also a well-known fact that human beings disguised in leopards' skins have simu lated the ways of these animals, and, like them, lay in wait to destroy their fcllqw creatures. Several malefactors have been con victed and executed by the authorities for this crime, and when brought to trial the skin and different articles employed have been produced in most cases. The man or woman who assumes this part must kill seven (a magical number among the natives) living an imals, including the human species, dogs, f owls, "deer, etc. After this he can render himself invisible and be invulner able. The first thing he must possess is a complete leopard skin, and then in the darkness of night he must make the small tomahawk he carries and the spikes used.on the hands. These are made out of a gun that has killed seven people, tempered with bipod freshly drawn from himself. At full moon he must hold a vigil alone, by the banks of a broad stream, and watch steadily the reflections of the moon's image in the water, during which time the nov itiate is supposed' to see wonderful vis ions and obtain supernatural strength. Then, lying in wait for his prey after the manner of the leopards, he pounces upon the unwary victim, tearing open his throat and drinking his life blood. The lycanthrope then proceeds to dis member the body of his victim, pulling off by main force thumbs, big toes, and flesh letween the eyes, and then tear ing open the still quivering body to ob tain the heart. The latter is eaten. When the body is anointed with the fat about the entrails it is supposed to confer invisibility. Strangers and women passing alone on the road are the usual victims. The writer was present in Mayumba with Mr. Evans when a native of Camma was traced and caught in the bush after sus picions had been aroused, owing to the Slaughter of two other Camma men. As the Europeans had no jurisdiction and the native chiefs of Mayumba de cided they could not interfere, the man was sent on to his own people, and waf afterward executed there for a similar offense shortly after his arrival. . Here in the interior, in order to pre vent the spread of the Kuyon, tho skin of every leopard killed is cut into nar row strips and divided among the elders of the place. Quite recently, however, I was in a native village and saw the leopard-skin spikes hollowed to receive the fingers. A small wedge-shaped tomahawk was attached thereto through a hole in the wooden handle, which was plentifully bedaubed with blood. The Kuvon's disguise hal been ' found se creted in a hollow tree, and I was pres ent at the confession and death. It was a woman named Aroonda, about forty years old. She confessed to the murder of three men and one woman, -and re gretted that she had not been able to find more victims to make up the magic total of seven. She was of fragile appearance and it seemed physically impossible that she had done the deeds imputed to and con fessed by' her. From her appearance, and because of the wild expression of her eyes, I fully believe she was insane, but this, when broached, was scouted by the judge, as she had successfully carried on her household and family duties. Her two children were sold into slavery, the natives having the idea that the offspring of a Kuyon soon er or later attain the same instinct. The husband and family were unanimous in desiring the removal of the children to such a distance that they would be un able to return to the town, and it was only by continued intercessions that they were not executed along with the , mother. I Each Kuyon plans individually hfc schemes and-career, and in an experience ! of over twenty years here in Africa I have known only two eases, both ol which were in Gaboon, where two or I more persons engaged in concert to per form their ferocious and nefarious mur , ders, and under no circumstances should it be considered an association of mem- bers of a secret society, j May not a grinding sense of wrong received without means of paying the aggressor drive some of these people to tne verge ol madness, or may it not be the result of a hereditary homicidal mania? Sleeping on a Full tttamuclv Man is the only animal that does not sleep well after hearty eating. Feed a dog' or a cat or any other animal at much as it can eat, and it immediately I goes to sleep and sleeps &ouuuly until I its, meal is digested. Feed a man till he can eat, and, if he goes to file ep at all, ne rolls and tosses and groans r.nd yells and wakes up in the morning feeling as though he had been passed through a threshing machine. Yet this state ol i things is the result of habit. A baby ' feeds and goes to sleep; so do young cnxldren, and only in manhood is th habit of sleeping on an empty Htomaer. firmly fixed. .

A GAMBLER'S SUPERSTITIONS Tie ; Smokes Good Cigars When I.osiiit , and Poor Ones When Winning. . - There is a well-known sport, whost face is a standing portrait in the gallery of Chestnut street habitues, who if particularly heralded among his brethren of, chance by the brands o cigars he; smokes, says the Phila delphia Inquirer. If he wins heavily on the track all his friends know il by the terrific smell of the vile tobaccc in his smokers. If he is a loser they are aware of it by the delicate perfume of the curling smoke of the wreaths o a fragrant Havana. What induces the follower of the '. goddess of chance to thus contrarily denote bis financial con dition never could be learned until v week ago, when the quality . of hif cigar was so execrable as to call forth e protest from his comrades, and then he said: - ' "It's my only superstition, boys. If 1 win and should smoke a good cigai luck'd go back on me so hard the next day I'd be in the poor-house in a week. But if I am a loser never very heavy, understand, and light two or three Conchas, d'ye see? I'll call the turn on bad luck. When I'm playing in great form then's when I draw on cigars made from cabbages. It's my experi ence that bad cigars and good- luck are friends and Havanas travel in the wake of the losing sport.". A lady at Tooleys, La., was very sick with bilious colic when M. C. Tisler, a prominent merchant of the town gave her 'a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says she was well in forty minutes after taking the first dose. For sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.
