On this cnblo a wooden block, grooved tin deruenth, was placed, suspended from which was u small rude platform or ul times a slmplo loop of rope for the passenger or baggage. The wooden block, with Its attached load, was pulb ed across the chasm hi either direction by a, towllne attached to the block, 'lids rude contrivance Is the genesis of . tho most refilled aerial ropeways of the present day and of the suspension brldgo also, which Is, of u crude form, of very great antiquity.

They Are Habitually Idle and Ahrny fllcrry Their l'ccullnr IIcuddreNH. By nature Somali aro alternately docile and savage, nearly always mer ry and habitually idle. Even lu busy Aden they work as little as posslblo aud then do no manual work, for their Inherent pride forbids that. Cab driv ing, boat manning and grooming are the general crafts of the Aden Somali. In the Interior of his own country ills principal occupations aro plundering and cattle lifting, at which latter pur suit he Is said to be unparalleled lu skill. In religion they are all Moham medans. The great peculiarity of the Somali Is, however, his hair, for, contrary to the custom of most rupees professing Islam, he docs not shave his head, but allows his locks to run wild. Nor Is his hair tho wool of the negro, for In stead of growing In one dense cluster all over his head, as Is the ense of the Gtillti, for Instance, It tangles luto long cords, not unlike those of a poodle, which, parted over his forehead, hangs down on both cheeks, often projecting almost as far as his shoulders. Not content with the show of hair that nature and neglect Insure him, he plasters his bead with a peculiar light clay, which has the effect of bleaching Its blackness to n light red dish hue, and a Somali In a new tobe. as their winding sheet of a garment Is called, and a freshly clayed head Is the very acme of dandyism.

She then fell asleep. "When morning came the doll was clasped In her arms. Eventually the little Apache girl, with her doll, was sent bock to her people. When the child reached the Indians with the doll in her chubby hands It made a great sensation among them, and the next day the mother came with the child to the post. She was hospitably received, and through her the tribe was persuad ed to move back to Its own territory.

The following anecdote of Wagner is told by Alfred Kolsenauer, the pianist, who, as a pupil of Liszt, knew the composer of "Parsifal" personally. "Wagner was always more or less self conscious," says Kelsenauer, "and only at rare intervals did his friends see him in moods that could be called anything but premeditated. In Bal renth l saw him In a highly character istic situation, and I never shall for get It. It was at a rehearsal of 'Par sifal.' The garden scene had Just been admirably sung and danced, where upon Wagner, In his exuberant Joy, hugged and kissed the artists, and Uien, quite beside himself, got down on all fours and barked like a dog, con cluding his exhibition by throwing his legs lu the air and balancing himself on his head. "At this Interesting moment Liszt and several of his pupils, including myself, walked on the stage. Quick as a Hash, Liszt, who always played tho role of Wagner's self constituted de fender, said grimly, Well, if that's a pose, It's the hardest one lu the world to hold, by thunder!' tKor the sake of the melstor we tried" to restrain our mirth, but tho effort was not wholly successful. I firmly believe, however, that Wagner himself was secretly pleased at the sensation for which he was responsible." Harper's Weekly. C.-R0S3 AT CHICAGO, KANSAS CITY, CMAHA, 8IOUX CITY. ST.
