THE SUDAN NATIVES. They Once Thought White Men to Be Submarine Monsters. There is a passage in one of the ancient Arab histories to the effect that "the white people come from the other side of the sea." This statement has become so distorted among certain tribes of natives of the Sudan that they believe that the white men come from the bottom of the sea. A wily Arab leader in this district once informed his followers that they had nothing to fear from the white men, as they could not live away from the water. The fact that a high official took his bath daily was further considered confirmatory evidence of the submarine origin of the white man. The Arabs, in order to retain their influence over the natives, spread broadcast the report that the white men were cannibals. The fact that they did not eat black men was explained as due to their devilish cunning. They wanted to make themselves strong in the country before beginning their horrid practices, but as they could not altogether do without this kind of food they brought human flesh with them in cans. In west Africa a French expedition had the unfortunate experience of finding a portion of a human finger—cut off, no doubt, by some accident—in a can of meat. Here was fresh and conclusive confirmation of the story, in which the people had almost ceased to believe, and it was only after a considerable lapse of time that the idea was at length eradicated. — Chicago News.

The Malay Bride Has to Have Her Teeth Filed Away. Some of the national marriage customs of other countries are distinctly quaint and interesting and to us appear curious enough. Our conventional white satin and orange blossoms are certainly traditional, but otherwise we indulge in no real madness apart from the throwing of rice and old shoes. An instance of a curious marriage custom is that of lower Ceylon, where a cocoanut, which is regarded as a sort of oracle, is sacrificed to the deities and devils as a solemn offering. In Japan the symbolic girdle, so much more expressive than our simple wedding ring, is the outward sign of marriage, while in Burma the piercing of the ears is the prelude to matrimonial considerations. In Malay, however, the poor bride experiences a bad quarter of an hour before her marriage, inasmuch as she has to have her teeth filed down almost to the level of her gums, a process piteously painful as well as disfiguring. In spite of this pain, however, she is expected to participate in the wedding dance and festivities generally.—London Standard. The Story of a Famous Phrase. All the world knows the remark of the governor of North Carolina to the governor of South Carolina, "It's a long time between drinks." The true history of this famous anecdote was told by a South Carolinian. It appears that the phrase was first heard at a political dinner when the governors of both North and South Carolina were present. The first governor had delivered a fiery political speech. The situation was intense when the turn came for the governor of South Carolina to speak. It seemed that any word the governor might say would complicate the situation. Even should he keep silent his opinion would seem clear. It was at this critical moment that the governor of the other Carolina rose and, inspired by a stroke of genius, remarked, "It's a long time between drinks." The absolutely noncommittal remark saved the situation. If a Cow gave Butter mankind would have to invent milk. Milk is Nature's emulsion—butter put in shape for digestion. Cod liver oil is extremely nourishing, but it has to be emulsified before we can digest it. Scott’s Emulsion combines the best oil with the valuable hypophosphites so that it is easy to digest and does far more good than the oil alone could. That makes Scott’s Emulsion the most strengthening, nourishing food-medicine in the world. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists 409-415 Pearl Street New York 50c. and $1.00.

By a draft is meant the currents of air in an inclosed space. Our forefathers attributed nearly all the evils that beset them to drafts, and they would not have slept in uncurtained beds for anything. Of course their windows and doors were shaky, and houses stood far apart, so drafts were nearly inevitable. But the modern scientific world tries to deny drafts altogether and calls them winds, which are harmless and even healthy to a certain degree. Any one who cares to find out the difference between a wind and a draft can do so in any apartment which has windows on different sides of the house. Let him open a window on a windy day on the side of the house toward which the wind blows. The air which comes in is quite harmless if the person exposed to it be dressed in warm clothes, and little children may take the air in a room thus ventilated. But let him open a window past which the wind blows, and it will be found that the air in the room is moved by a number of currents, all of which strive to reach the opening. It is the passing wind which sucks up the air in the room and draws it out, and this causes the room to have what is called a draft. The effect upon sensitive persons is immediately felt, like the forerunner of pain to come. A draft will always be felt as colder than the wind. Very dangerous drafts are those that are produced in railway cars by the rapid motion of the train. It is not wind that gets into the carriages, but the air of the car which is sucked out. A lighted match held to the chink of the window will prove this, as the flame will be drawn toward the window, not blown from it.

The fire department ordered out, and the alleged having been taken to the town become a charge upon the city, and the other heathen sent along to cover, the torch was held and the row of pretentious reduced to ashes. It so happened the Chinese officer, Sir Cheng Tsi Ann, was at hand, and a rush telegram was sent from Los Angeles, where the fire had been telephone one of the evicted celestials.

They were sent to Salvation Army barracks, accommodations were secured them. Next called upon the city officials for an explanation. "The Bridge" Born of Sorrow. "My poem entitled 'The Bridge,' said Longfellow, "was written in sorrow, which made me feel for the loneliness of others. I was a widower at the time, and I used sometimes to go over the bridge to Boston evenings to meet friends and return near midnight by the same way. The way was silent, save here and there a belated footstep. The sea rose or fell among the wooden pliers, and there was a great furnace on the Brighton hills whose red light was reflected by the waves. It was on such a late, solitary walk that the spirit of the poem came upon me. The bridge has been greatly altered, but the place of it is the same." English Cookery. French cookery came from Italy, but long before France attained any distinction English cooking was spoken of as the best in Europe. After the reign of Henry VIII, soups and fish fell into general disuse, and larger quantities of meat occupied their place. "In the reign of James II, cookery had fallen to its lowest depth. It revived a little in the reigns of Anne and George I., degenerated again in the reigns of George II. and III., until at last English cooking was little better than that of the ancient Britons."—London Tele- Harmless Necessary Evil. The bridegroom is generally the most depressing feature of the modern wedding. If he is well off he is either bald, with a decided tendency to adipose tissue, or else of a pale, sandy type, with equally pale eyes and a retreating chin. In ordinary life he wears spectacles, which at the request of the bride he discards at the wedding, with the result that he stumbles over the last step leading from the chancel to the altar rails and is only saved from falling flat on his face by desperately clutching at the bride's bouquet. — Ladies' Field.
