A Race of Gh>atn.
It is reported that a captain In the
British army named Welby has re
cently returned from an expedition in
the unknown portions of Abyssinia
and the countries lying north of
Uganda between Lake Rudolf and the
Nile valley. He visited and lived
among some twenty different tribes,
several of which are quite new to ex
plorers, says the San Francisco Chron
icle. Perhaps the most curious of
these were two races of gianjte said to
be seven feet in height, living near
Lake Rudolf. Some doubt has been
cast on the veracity of Capt. Welby in
regard to his assertion as to the height
of those people, but it should be re
membered that the dwarfs discovered
by Stanley were regarded by many
persons as a njyth until the account
was verified by other explorers.
Life Growing Longer.
Prof. Mansfield Merriman, studying
the United States census reports since
1850, has discovered a marked and
steady increase in the length of human
life in our country during the last half
century. His statistics, which were
presented at the recent meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, show that in 1850 the
median age of the entire population
was 18.3 years, while in 1890 it had
risen to 21.4 years. In 1900 he antic
ipates, it will be 22.4 years. By
‘‘median age” is meant that which di
vides the population equally, one-half
being above and the other half below
the median.
Breeches on the Wrong Man.
Bret Harte is so frequently comp’d
mented as the author of “Little
Breeches,” that he is almost as sorry
it was ever written as is Col. John
Hay, who would prefer his fame to rest
on more ambitious work. A gushing
lady, who prided herself on her literary
tastes, said to him once: “My dear
Mr. Harte, I am so delighted to meet
you. I have lead everything you ever
wrote, but of all your dialect verse
there is none that compares to your
“Little Breeches.” “I quite agree with
you, madam,” said Mr. Harte, “out
you have put the breeches oa the
wrong man.”
A Hird’s Sea Resort.
From the Youth's Companion: Nat
uralists consider it a wonderful fact
that the Bermuda islands have only
seven native species of land birds,
while not less than 128 other species
pay visits to the islands. Many of
these visitors are birds which pass the
summer in the United States, and
utilize the Bermuda islands as a con
venient winter resort, thus imitating
some of their human compatriots.
Even some American bats follow the
example of the birds by wintering in
the Bermudas.
How to Take Medicine.
The taste of disagreeable medicine
may usually be removed by a draught
of pure cold water. In some cases this
is not effectual, and then a piece of
dried orange peel will answer the pur
pose. It is a good plan to save a lit
tle very thinly pared orange peel, and
to dry it in the oven or before the fire
till it is crisp and hard for taking after
medicine. This costs nothing and is
far better than sweetmeats. —Pitts-
burg Dispatch.
Claimed “Spur Money.”
The choir boys of St. George’s
chapel, Windsor castle, in accordance
with ancient custom, have the right to
claim five shillings as “spur money”
from any military man wearing his
spurs in church during service. On a
recent Sunday an officer had innocently
infringed this regulation, and at the
close of the service the boys, to his
surprise, demanded the fine.
First Industrial Exposition.
Perhaps the first industrial exhibl-*
lion on record was held in 1569, in the
Rathhaus of Nuremberg. A catalogue
published at the time thus states the
purposes of the exhibition: ‘‘lt shall
bring before the public all innovations
in the trade of the whole world in
modern times, together with domestic
art production.”
The Onion as a Prophet.
We are going to have a very mild
winter according to a Paris meteorolo
gist. He bases his prediction on
onions, which it appears are chilly
vegetables, and form several skina
when a cold winter is coming. This
year the onions have only one skin,
as they know that the weather is to
be warm and open.
