I'ln- greater part of the week just passed has been spent by the ladies nil over the town in shopping, and a very pleasant occupation it must have been, at least for those whose pocketbooks allowed them to give full sway to their inclinations in the number and character of the pur chases made.

Christmas week has always been pro lific of niarnaires, and the season now with us has been no exception to the rule. The pastors of the various churches have been busily engaged in tying knots which should be forever binding, and the captive couples have been leaving on every tram for that in definite regiou so frequently referred to us the fast. This wil! in all probability be a snow less Christmas. The weather bureau holds out no hope of a heavy snowfall between now and Thursday, and those who have been want to count sleighing tmeng their holiday amusements will lave to be content With wheels. To those whose lives have developed nothing of misery, and to whom the norrors of poverty are a sealed book, it may be said that there are in St. Paul iuriuy:- this . merry Christinas season men and women -to whom its coming »vfll only serve as a reminder that the supboard is bare and the family pocket- Qopk painfully empty.

V • Much attention was recently called to the region around Kotonou, on the Gulf of Guinea, near which place several hundred of -the women warriors. of the king of Dahomey were killed in battle by the French troops. One of the most Interesting features of this region is the large native villages and towns that have been built in the water. The inhabitants many years ago took this means of trying to escape the terrible raids of the* king of Dahomey. Many hundreds of people were actually driven by the powerful kinir into the water. It happens that the Dahomians are very superstitious about traveling in canoes or crossing streams, and" th« fugitives took advantage" of this -fact to secure protection for themselves. On any good map one may see the "Denham waters" near Kotonou." This I is the home of these lake dwellers. The towns have each a , population of from 200 to 800 souls to -as many thousands. Physically the people, are line and healthy specimens of Africans, and as a rule they are free from disease. Gov. Moloney. of Lagos, says the houses are built upon piles or straight branches of hard wood three to six inches in diame ter. They are driven into the bottom of ; : the lake." The upper ends are secured by cross pieces, on which are laid a bam boo iioorimr, two-thirds or one-half of which is covered in by a house. The uprights of the house are. fixed first and secured below the platform to the sup porting piles. The roof frame is next made on the platform, and is covered with grass or bamboo leaves, and raised to its position. The remaining portion of flooring is used as a veranda. In the construction no nails are used. These natives are fishermen and also a pastoral people. It is a curious fact that they keep cattle in pens adjoining their houses built on piles over the water like their dwellings. Sometimes during the dry season the shalluvvness l of the wafer admits of the cattle being allowed to wander on terra tirtna, but fodder is brought in canoes to many less fortunate animals which are compelled to eke out their existence in these pens surrounded 'by water until such time as they are tethered and transported by , canoes to the butcher. r " The present natives are still in dread of the l)ahoinians, but even if this fear no longer existed it is probable that the habit which they and their fathers be fore, them have long followed would lead them to prefer these aquatic resi dences. It is not known how many lake dwellers there are, but it is supposed there are at least 10,000 of them among the various tribes whose huts cover the Denham waters. Once in a while these tribes make war on one another',and they conduct their .fighting in canoes cap able of holding . two •" or three persons, and their weapons are guns, harpoons, spears and clubs. ■ In some other parts of Africa, particularly in the Congo basin, the habit of dwelling "in huts sustained on piles in lakes or rivers is very largely followed, and perhaps a million or two of the people of Africa are still perpetuating the phase of lite of which we have relics in the remains of the lake dwellers of the prehistoric era.

A Story Illustrating the Fickle ness of Widows. Chicago Giobe. The first morning I came down town on the Third avenue elevated with the bald-headed man lie called my atten tion to a. woman who sat sewing near a window not mora than thirty feet frrm the station. She was both good-look ing and happy. "Often "see her husband up there with his arm around her," said bald-head. "Coziest couple I know t of. Always look in on them. She devoted to him and home; and my ideal of a wife." After that I always looked for the woman. Sometimes the bald-headed man and I exchanged words about her. but there was nothing' new. One morn ing, after about three months, bald-head observed: "She's not an anxious look. Husband is probably sick." Three days later he said: '•She's awfully worried. Husband is probably worse." Two or three days later he saw her in mourning, and it whs no use to tell each other that her husband had passed away. "Too bad: Too bad I" sighed my friend. "Well, she'll reverence his memory all the rest of her days." Almost every morning for three months we saw her a* the sewms ma chine as the train pulled up at the sta tion. On one occasion my friend blurted out: •'Sad! She's got into second mourn me already! It's probably a case of ne cessity. I suppose she can be just as sorry in that." A month later saw - her at the glass curling her hair. My friend didn't .say anything, but he looked uneasy. It wasn't a fortnight before her second mourning had disappeared, and we heard her humming a lively air as she threaded a spoof. I looked at my friend. ■*ProbaOly visits his grave every Sue day," he replied. "Light-hearted" wom en never get over grieving. . She's singing to ease the pain in her heart." Just a month from that day she stood at the window. There was a man be side her. She had her head on his shoulder. "-Married again, by thunder!" almost shouted my friend. "But I thought you said she would never—" "Never said a durned word about her, gosh darn her!" he cried; and now we never look into that window any more. Our romance has been shattered and dispelled, "msem Where He Could See More of Her. New York Mercury. Mr. Blank— Why, how do you do. Miss Case. Where have you been? i haven't seen much of you lately. Miss Clemenceau Case— I've been in the papers principally lately, but come up to the theater some night and you can see more of me. ■ ' .;• ««■> — Get a Christmas Present At the Assignee Fur Sale, 349 Wabasha ■street.
