pronounced manner the stories told of
dwarf races by other travelers lets fortu

The writer whilst chief of staff to
Sen Gordon then governor general of
the Equatorial provinces of Egypt com
manded a detachment of Egyptian troops
into the Nium Nlam country for the pur
pose ot the conquest of that country
Having reached n point on the borders
of the Monbutto land tbo writer sur
prised a slave camp nnd captured a car
avan of slaves numbering 400 or more
females and among these the pygmy
woman TickiTicki The old Afghanis
tan whom I had caught with on unusu
ally tine slave stock which ho hoped
would bring him ranch mpney when he
reached the west const to which he was
journeying endeavored to induce me to
let him go scot free Failing to temp
me with gold he said I have a great
antique the Arab word tor curio which
I beg you to accept Great wns my sur
prise when he caused to be brought Into
my presence a little naked woman who
stood trembling and affrighted and with
both hands crossed before htr eyes nftor
the manner of the salutation other peo
ple TickiTicki was scarcely four feet in
height with such an enormous
breadth across her haunches that she
seemed in foot to describe a circle tather
than a perpendicular The spinal column
was bent almost like tho letter C whilst
her belly protruded in a reranrable man
ner Her face was broad the eyes red
dish noso rather puggy and lips coarse
nnd thick the body was long tho legs
short and the bands nnd feet small and
symmetrical Addressing her in Arabio

been pushed back into tho territory
which thev now occupy by tho more

Homer in the Iliad sinus of tho littlo

scribes uplcturo of the sleeping Ilorotiles
be et by swurms of pygmies which story
no doubt inspired the author of Gulli

iliny tells us of pygmies which existed
m Thrace in Asia Minor and in Italy
and tesias describes a race iu the mid

est of whom wob not more than two
loudees and the most of whom are but
one and a halt oouuees Their hair was
said Will you come with us
Whoroupon sho replied Yes but I
fear you wiireat me Now it must be
understood that iu common with all peo
pla west of the Nile the AUUas are
nnthropophaglo and eating others ex
cept when captured to bo eaten In turn
TickiTiokl round and fnt had made
up her mind that she would goto pot
in tho lire of an Akkostew in short
order When assured that the white
mnn eschewed such a practice as akul
inas that is eating people she was
amazed and seemed incredulous Nor
was her incredulity and fear allayed for
several days and only when a bright red
bandanna handkerchief highly prized in
the Soudanl had been given her did she
appear to forget her fancied danger
With true feminine vanity she set about
ornamenting herself in its folds by
tieing It around her neck and babbling
nway in her native tongue she executed
n series of ncrobatio feats vaulted in the
air turned somersaults and amazed my
soldiers greatly and with whom she soon
became a great pot
TicklTioki subsequently told me her
story She had bpen sent as n slave
with other of her people to the court of
Munzi king of Monbutto of whom Dr
Schweinfurth speaks in his Heart of
Africa and that thence she had been
taken by her Arab captors Gongo she
said was king of the Akkas who lived
in tho jungle their houses being made
by tiolng together tho tops of the high
grass or canebrake and cutting out at
the base and center a space suflicient f0r
shelter Armed with the aiminutjve
spears or arrows a number of which SUe
gave me the Akkas of both sexes went
to tbo war against their enemies 0r
hunted the elephant They attack the
latter In veritoble swarms confusing the
beasts by their cries and then llteruiiv
very long and fell to their knees and
even below nnd thoir board much longer
than that of other men so long Indeed
that when grown to its full length they

M de Quatrefuees iu referring to the
pvgmv noinau TickiTicki discovered by
tho writer distinctly avows tho impor
tance of the of the notes presented in her
lase with the inappreciable vniue of the
fact that Miss TickiTicki corroberated
f < Mi
haohing them to pieces or transfixing
them with countless thrusts
TickiTicki was passionately fond of
smoking not in the sense of proouring
the effect desired by the whito man but
to create nausea and then after the or
deal of pain and vomiting to enjoy the
doleo far niente of convalescence and
complete repose TickiTicki followed
me in my journey to the Nile and when
I quit General Gordon to return to Cairo
she was a party of Boveral specimens of

Special Correspondence of the Gazette
IG and little we all
love the ocean
whether we are near
to or far away from
its shore It seems
to exert even a
greater fascination
upon children thau
it does upon grown
folks which fact
might ne adduced to
strengthen the po
sition of thosoientists
who allege that all
flesh was once fish
I do not objebt to children at the seaside
They are generally so much taken up
with the breakers the sand the shells
and the other things that they have no
time to mnke themselves very disagre
oble True it isnt always pleasant to
have a pail of sand emptied on your sun
shade at the very moment your young
man is whispering something particularly
nice but taking one consideration with
another children especially when gaily
and tastefully dressed decorate and en
liven a stretch of sea beach So long as
we dont have to pay for the damage
done to shoes nnd dresses by the sea
water wo may easily put up with their
mischief and noise
Nothing could be prettier for a little
boy at the shore or inland than a white
flannel sailor suit with collars and cuffs
striped in pale blue or in any other be
coming color aud a genuine sailors
shirt showing tho white edge across his
throat If ohildren havo good legs they
should always bo shown Of course in
a genuine Jack Tar suit this cannot be
done for the knickerbockers must be re
placed by trousers with spring bottoms
Tho doublebreasted reofer jaoket should
havo a deep sailor collar on the outside
to give It style and nnttiness These
suits should be in navy blue serge al
though for younger boys thev may be
made up very stylishly in white drill
trimmed with pale blue cardinal or
goldMothers
Mothers should try hard to make their
children look thoroughly presentable A
little maid knows instinctively whether
sho is welldressed or not Dout load
her down with cloth dresses Give her
a pink nnd white calico with a chemis
ette of white camb > io formed ertirely of
small tucks or a white embroiderea
muslin or a cashmero of becoming shade
made with a pleated vest and dninty lit
tle zouave jacket Theres no use trying
to pievent children from loving finery
They will do it in spite of all your fluo
spun theories and nently turned precepts
Only be careful to teach them harmony
of colors nnd loye of refined effects A
womans pentriant for loud and vulgar
combinations may pretty generally be
traced to her lack of education in mat
ters of personal adornment while a child
Little tots soon feel the intoxication of
tho oxygen at tho seaside and exhibit a
tendency to kick over the traces of home
5 =
decorum to run wild and it does tbem
heaps of good too One such wns ono
day reproved by her mamma for racing
down to the beach before she had her
dress on
Fie for shame Nanny Wheres
your modesty
I was in such a hurry to dig a hole in
the sand mamma that I think I must
have forgotten it
In my tnitd picture is a correct repre
sentation of a prevailing style In big
hat a fanoy straw trimmed with feath
ers and ribbons You must always bear
in mind that ns feathers dont possess
the dressy showy characteristics of
flowers you must be corresponding
careful In securing correct and becoming
combinations of color For instance
take a gray straw and trim it with gray
ostrich feathers and then throw
in just a touoh of canary in
sundry knots of narrow velvet
a yellow Tuscan with heliotrope
velvet or a white with the ni6rest
brushful of orange to liven up the Held
of color Flowers aro getting too com
mon exclaims the fastidious Miss Ga
bnelle St Clair Hence this delicate
damsel affects nothing but ostrich feath
ers and plenty of them too you may
be assured The brims of her bats have
taken on several inches in width since
she resolved to eschew flowers Theres
something delightfully light nnd nlry
about Miss St Clairs hats She
is a diaphanous creature and
the makeup Is quite in keeping
with her peculiar style Bob Spray
danced with her last week nt a garden
party given by Mrs DoreBullion at her
new Queen Anne villa He said that
nositively his only sensation was that
caused by the feathers of her hat tickling
his nose that otherwise he might just as
well have been dancing alone Miss St
Clair is painfully thin nnd Bob never
tlreB of calling my attention to the fact
Ue assures me that at times she is so
transparent that he locates her the way
the microscopists do the germs by color
ing them Ee makes her blusn
But dont think that flowers are going
out of fashion Far from it I saw a
very stylish big bat made ot black
lace straw with an extinordinnry brim
nnd a crown of pale pink lisse Tbo
back of the brim was nrcbed upwards
uud the space enclosed was filled in with
a perfect bank of pale pink roses The
rtijiot wns Indescribably stunning on the
Slrl who wore It Her skin was abso
lutely without yellow nnd her cheeks
glowed like blush roses It was a sight
to disturb the equauiaty ot a geometri
cian
cianVery eccentric girls are nffrcting a j
etyle of big bat known ns the crank
because the brim is crumpled up In the
most fantastic mauner They dont take
very well for not ono girl in 10000
looks pretty when the affects the outre
or bizurre Theres a point at which piq
uancy ceases nnd the uncouth begins
and the thing is to know exactly where
todraw the lino My friend Bob Spray
has pretty good taste in these matters
and when I asked him what he thought
of one of these crank hats his reply
was that very few men objected to wo
men being n littlo weak minded but
that bo for ono was opDosed to nny
pronounced types of lunacy
Turning nside from the frivolities of
fashion to consider the subjeot in its
more serious aspeots let me call your
attention to the charming toilet shad
owed forth in the accompanying sketoh
It is a very artistic costume suitable for
on evening entertainment ot almost any
kind nnd consisting of a combination of
pale mauvo silk batiste with white and
pansy finely striped faille and bands of
pansy brocho with pale tea roses and
very pale green loaves White
gloves are worn with this
dress and a very large and har
moniously colored fan ia carried to enable
the lady to withstand the boat and main
tain her aplomb Some of these lar re
fans have exquisitely puinted scenes
upon tbem and that too without render
ing them very expensive Many of these
paintings nre the work of young girl
graduates ofour art school and although
they are mostly copies of decorativo art
of the last oentury yet there are among
tbem original compositions of genuiuo
merit
Large fans of figured silk nro still
carried but their weight Is against them
and a small woman sometimes has the
appearance of serving ns a prop to hold
oue up just ns some littlo men look like
perambulating hat pegs Tho lyre and
other shaped ostriob feather fans are
also much affected aud they haven
gauzy gossamer fuint and filmy look
very becoming to delicate types of
beauty but they arent suitable for fat
faces or high color Ono would say the
sight was like a moth miller fluttering
around an underdone roast
At the races nowadays in Now York
one sees many quaint nnd charming cos
tumes Gray tailor mades ure very
popular sometimes plain nnd sometimes
braided Shirts and open jackets are
much affected and they do look delight
fully cool and natty A pink shirt with
black skirt and overcoat mado up a strik
ing costumo so did a white cloth finished
off with a long white feather boa A
corduroy suit was very taking There
seems to bo a determination to make the
shirt go and one sees it at the races in
every possible contrast Black and
white is quite as pretty as any For
town wear it doesnt go so fast but It
has a future and you may as well pre
pare to see steam laundries
increase in numbers Nothing
has more style about it than what the
horrid mon call a boiled rag and I
predict that before another year youll
see us women In full dress shirts and
black cloth vests cut away to nothing nt
the waist
It is like tho other reform movements
In coming slowly but once here twill
stick and tho men ought to encourage
it too for now that a certain other
ridiculous garment which mar not be
mentioned in polite society has been put
upon the retired list it is quite proper
that the woman should look to the mon
for counsel and assistance For cen
turies we women havo been what tho
French call arnerees In this matter of
under clothing Woven underwear the
divided skirt and the top shirt aro all
dress reforms of real valuo
Some exquisite pearl gray costumes
have made their appearance one in satin
trimmed with fringe at tbo bottom of
the skirt and also on the puffing of the
Bleeves black valvet collar and Vshape
insertion of pearl jet Another a plain
gray cloth visitlne dress havinc a gray
foulard drapery embroidered with large
red flowers on the front ot
waist With this costume goes
a gray toque garnished with cray
feathers Still another costume in
gray consists ot a short pearl gray taf
feta with a darker shade of velvet as
plastron back of bodice and sleeves
The sleeves very high on the shoulder
and narrow silver galloon in spiral form
on the velvet Henry IV style The
bonnet simply a wreath of roses the
hair showing throush the veil fully
gathered and fastened at the back with
diamond ornament Tho parasol gray
broohe with roses lined with pink and
trimmed with cray lace

upon parasols nowadays They grow
