Africa occur the following passage
tkat happily portrays tbe prop:
"The Atonga bsv a grrat Waning

ot bla wages for a disused dress unit
ead tall ailk bat. These garments he
eed to don on Sundays to our luex-
tlBXHlabable merriment. Finding him
etf loo much laughed at be made over
Ua clotbea, aa a very special honor,
to kit bead wife, wbo Is quite berolue

Una to accompany him on most of

waa found out In tbls way. When go
lag into action at Kawlnga's one of
tka ofDcer of the Indian contingent
aoticed a strange being charging In
Uaa with tba 81khs. It was a black
parson dressed In ludicrous caricature
of a "maaher" In a very tight-fitting
awing suit and tall hat. The masher,
kowever, was, knocked down by a
pant bullet (fortunately not much
kart). and upon being picked up was
foaad to be Itandawe's wife thus
strangely habited."

Another attempt is to be made to
reaover the millions in specie, bullion
and precious stones which have been
lost along the coast of this and other
countries in foundered ships. The
Beans to be used Is a submarine boat
built for the purpose and fitted with
wheels for running on the bottom, as
wall as with a propellor for navigating
xaa surface. The Inventor of thin ves
sel, which was launched the other day
at Baltimore and chrlHtrnecl Argo
naut, is Mr. Simon Lake of Haiti more.
ine plan Is to run the boat along the
bottom until the wreck Is reached, und
then send out men In divers' armor,
wao will be supplied with air from the
reservoirs on the Argonaut. The ml-
vaatage over the old method is that
vna depth of water will be no factor,
Md work cannot be interrupted by
storms. The vessel Is thirty-six feet
long by nine feet In diameter. She is
built of steel and ribbed very stronsly
to withstand the pressure of the wi'er
at great depths. Electricity Is her pro
pulsive. ODeratltlK and cnlillnir forrrv
Mr. Lake says he has the bearluss of
aeveral vessels sunk on the New Itr
ey coast which are said to have had
oa ooard J15.000.000 In specie and bul
lion. Probably the first vessels hal
will be examined, says the Inventor,
will be the New Era. which sunk off
Asbury Park in 1852. She lies In about
forty-five feet of water. The Argonaut
will be given a trlul trip In Chesa
peaks Bay In a few days.

Monsieur Calino, having taken a

is his favorite maxim, and he repeats
It whenever he sets bis men at work.
Lately he had occasion to dig a well
oa the place, and nut to this dutv a
couple of men experienced In that line
r work.
"And be sure." he said to them, as
they got their picks and shovels ready,
"that you begin your work at the bot
tom!" It was a still more curious reversal
of things, perhaps, which led one of
Monsieur Callno's servants, a good
woman, to come running to him one
day with the announcement:
"Quick, monsieur, come here! Youi
little Jean has fallen into the ditch, and
he's into the mud up to his ankles!"
"Up to his ankles!" said Calino.
"Why, that's nothing."
"Oh, but I forgot to tell you." said
the woman, "that he's in head first!"

Beat two esgs, without separating,
until thoroughly mixed; add one cup of
Milk. Put one cup of flour into an
other bowl; add to it gradually the eggs
and milk; beat until smooth. Strain
through an ordinary gravy strainer.
Put at once Into greased hot gem-pans,
and bake in a moderately quick oven
for forty-five minutes. If these are
properly made and properly baked
they should swell six times their orig
inal bulk, and may be used for break
fast or luncheon, or served with a
liquid pudding sauce as a dessert.
Whole wheat flour, if sifted three
times, may be substituted for white
four. Iron gem-pans Insure better re

"It's none of my business," said the
man who had boats for hire, "but I'd
like to know why you took this boat,
rcwed out to the other side of the lake,
stared at the water, and then came
right back." "Well, it's hard to ex
plain. I'm not very sentimental as a
rule; but I wanted to recall the dear
days of yore, when life was so differ
ent. As near as I could locate It, the
spot I was looking at was where I

When Charles Dickens was la
Washington, he met one morning oa
the steps of the capitol. a young con
gressman from Tennessee, whom the
great novelUt had offended by his
boorish ness. That morning Dickens
was in a great good humor and full of
talk. "I have" said ha "found an
almost exact counterpart of Little
Nell. "Little Nell who-"' queried
the Tennesseean. Dickens looked him
over from head to foot and from foot
to head before he snorted out: My
Little NelL" -Oh," said theTennes
sean. "I didn't know you had your
daughter with you." "I am speaking
of the Little Nell of my fiction, sir."
retorted Dickens, flushing. "Oh,"
said the imperturbable Tennesseean,
"you write novels, do you? Don't
you consider that a rather trifling oc
cupation for a grown-up man?" Dick
