African "Dishep" Made Use of Prince
Albert Coat When Rain Threat- I
ened Precious Loincloth.
"The Bishop" Is like no other Afri
can. He has acquired the graces of
the court of St. James and a surpris- i
ing gift of repartee, using smiles and :
grunts chiefly. lie is taller and older !
than any native tu the neighborhood,
which is the locality suburban to Va
vatl, Portuguese East. For years he
has trekked with missionaries. He has
carried their packs, bundled their beds
and mosquito netting over miles of i
trail. His name was chosen by him- I
self, In memory of Bishop Hartzell,
with whom he traveled.
Xet the bishop is still a heathen
and proud of It. Among the other Af
ricans in any given traveling party he
Is as conscious of his heathen distinc
tion as Tom Sawyer's friend Jim was
of his reputation for having seen evil
spirits.
On a recent expedition a missionary
saw the bishop for the first time and
was particularly struck with the bish
op's pride in his loincloth, a well-tailored
trifle fashioned from monkey
skin and built around a large brass
ring. It began to rain. The bishop
looked solicitously at the garment
much as a lady caught unibrellaless
will look at her new spring suit when
rain comes. The bishop had no um
brella, but from somewhere he pro
duced a Prince Albert coat and but
toned It tightly about him. It served
Its purpose. The new loincloth escaped
unscathed. World Outlook.

ANCIENT AND MODERN NAMES
Writer Contends That Present-Day
Appellations Lack the Euphony
of the Olden Times.
Speaking of New England names,
the genealogical columns of the Tran
script are Indeed n standing proof
that the seventeenth and eighteenth
century names possessed much more
of snap, llavor and euphony than our
twentieth century names possess.
Pick up the genealogical depart
ment at random any clay and you
will find such line and resonant names
as Retsey Keyes, Patty Ilolhrook, Su
sanna Gates, Polly Arnold, Darius
Dewey, Prudence Hand, Thankful
Sawyer, Thankful Nowcomh, Hannah
Pike, Deborah Clark, and Jonathan
Illch all of which are from one re
cent column. It Is true that the same
column contains names which are not
exactly euphonious, and are Indeed
rather hard nuts to crack ; these, for
example: Leafy Bullard a woman;
whence the name of Leafy Ilatsel
Illggins, Sparrow Illgglns, Abigail
Nash, Zerulah Jewel, and Alcy Lock
wood. In the previous uumber of the
same department ore found the names
Content Brown. Tabltha Iloldredge,
and Keturah Bassett.
The Nomad once encountered In an
old book the name of Camilla Seuil-
ler. Was there ever a swifter name
than that? And what about the name
of Hepzlbah Hathaway of New Bed
ford, found In Emery's book on the
Hon land Heirs? The Nomad In Bos

Sand $6,000 Ton.
Wilmington, Del., has a dozen of
the most expensive sand piles In the
world. It costs JO.OOO a ton, says the
Portland Orcgoniun.
The reason for this, and Incidentally
a reason for high -priced gloves, was
revealed the other day by a prominent
leather merchant.
Wilmington Is the chief glazed-kid
center In the United States. About
per cent of the raw skins entering the
I'nlted States come from Chlnn and
nre Imported nt the rate of Hboiit $1
n pound.
"What, then," nsked the merchant.
"would be more natural to the run
lilng celestial than to Increase the
weight of the skins by sprinkling sand
f - on them?"

Study of Statistics Will Enable Al
most Any One to Justify His
Pet Belief.
Cold, hard statistics prove that the
greatest number of premier awards
for gallantry were won on Monday.
No other day showing anything like
the same record, though the much-
maligned Friday stands out notice
ably.
Which fact gives some color to the
superstition's many people have about
certain days of the week being lucky
while others nre unlucky.
Tuesdny seems to he the had day
of the week: calamities are far more
common on that day than on any other
day. Hallway disasters, tires, street
accidents the record In each case Is
held easily by Tuesday. And It Is
the day most favored, too, by those
who desire to put an end to their exist
ence.
Saturday also has a bad reputation;
Its specialty Is murders; anil fully
half the petty crime that Is denlt with
In the police courts occurs on that
day. But probably that Is because
Saturday also holds the record for
drunkenness.
There Is nothing very distinctive
about Thursduy beyond the fact that
It Is the day upon which the birth
rate Is highest; and Sunday Is notice
able only for Its low death-rate.
Wednesday Is, above nil the rest
the day of weddings. This applies to
all classes, nnd nearly as ninny mar
riages nre celebrated on thnt day alone
as upon any three of the others. Slon

Missouri was one of the pivotal
s'tates In the history of this country.
It was made such In the ancient fight
In congress over the slavery question,
which took up the admission of free
nnd slave states and considered the
hnhmce thereof In congress. Missou
ri was also a pivotal state In yet an
other and larger sense she was the
jumplng-off place for that wild and
unknown country called the Wild West
the land west of the Missouri river.
She made the midway point between
the frontiersmen of Kentucky and
those of the great plains, occupying a
generation of history herself as
frontier commonwealth.

Lesson In Dietetics.
What bread needs to make It a per
fect food a perfect fond is that which
contains protein, carbohydrates, nnd
fat In certuln definite proportions Is
something with fat in It Hence bread
and butter," and bread "nnd drip-
nine." nnd bread "and cheese." Pork
and beans pair quite properly, because
the beans supply the absent protein.
When you ent beef and potatoes, or
roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, the
pairing mnkes a perfect food. The
pairing of condiments Is not a matter
of taste alone. Cnhhnge la peppered
because It was discovered that pepper
discounted the excessive action of
greenstuff on the bowels. Mustard
goes with beef, hut not with mutton,
because mutton Is much more easily
digested than beef, nnd mustard Is a
first-class digester. Montreal Herald.
