i:vn the Moat Xneorric;ible of thu Ilk t",ut
. He Advised.
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.

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.".
