that was not the only reason for the

OLD CLOTHES IN AFRICA
Tho Natives Often Make Dreadful
Mistakes With European Attire
The ol clo man is a familiar llgure
In American streets and one by no
means without plcturesquoness but 116
American dealer In old clothes has es
tablished a business of such extent of
interest as that of John Ilyraun of Lon
don whose specialty is to purchase
showy costumes and discarded military
and oiDcial uniforms for disposal in the
orient and Africa
Even the retiring lord mayors of Lon
don have become almost by ofllclnl tra
dition his customers and the cocked
hat gold laced coat and knee breeches
at Avhich during one season London lias
gazed with aAve in the famous pageant
of the lord majors procession are
likely the next season to delight the
eyes of darkest Africa upon the proud
person of a darkest African
I haAe visited most of the great
oriental bazars and watched our goods
being purchased says Mr Flyman I
haAje seen blacks solemnly walking
around Avitli waistcoats buttoned be
hind instead of before and even men
wearing ladies costumes I have seen
enormously big fellows in clothes so
small I could not imagine for the life
of me how they got into them or how
they could get out again unless the
stitching gave Avay
The Prince do Joinville whoa off the
Gabun coast once received on his ship
an official visit from two chiefs father
and son Avho must one Avould think
have been Mr Flymans customers
They Avere known as Big Denis and
Iiittle Denis and each owned for cere
monial occasions a military uniform
That of Big Denis Avas a French gen
erals Avhich his wives managed to get
him into That of Little Denis was a
hussars and its intricate cut numer
ous buttons straps and buckles and
painfully small size proved quite too
inueh for him lie sent the prince a
despairing message begging help and
a reuer parry 01 uenglited midshipmen
was sent to dress him and bring him
aboard
They fulfilled their errand but with
the miscliievousuess of theit kind they
so tightened every fastening of his
overtight attire that the poor youth
was nearly bursting with combined
pride and suffocation when he arrived
and it was evident he could never be
got out of his unwonted finery by any
method less drastic than cutting him
out

plete costume ever equals in comic ef

Ths Dsvils Acvocrte
In connection with the Roman Catli
olic ceremony of canonization there is
an official called the devils advocate
Whoa the church is ready to proceed
with the steps preliminary to the can
onization an able man is appointed to
assail the memory of the candidate
and to bring against him all possible
charges which the other side must
satisfactorily dispose of This accuser
is known as the devils advocate
and not until he is silenced by the dis
proof of his charges can the canoniza
tion be accomplished
They Own the Soft Impeachment
In an address to tho Canadian club
in Montreal Mr James Brycc said
I do not think it would be advisable
for me to say much for I have the
good fortune to be a Scotchman my
self I wont pursue the theme of
what contributions Scotchmen should
be able to make to Canadas litera
ture and science for the very simple
reason which was given by a friend
of mine who said I never argue with
Scotchmen that they are a great na
tionthey admit it
Cost of Courtesy
The adage Courtesy costs nothing
would if true offer sufficient reason to
insure its observance by practically
every member of the commercial com-
munity it beinsr fairlv obvious to mnst
of us that courtesy is an excellent
lubricant for the machinery in busi
ness To be always courteous in busi
ness however requires a very consid
erable expenditure of mental effort
which very few of us are capable of
sustaining at all times Magazine of

Bismarcks Love of Nature
Speaking of the country and the
long walks he took daily Bismarck
said he loved nature but the amount
of life he saw awed him and it took
a great deal of faith to believe that
an all seeing eye could notice every
living atom when one realized what it
meant Have you ever sat on the
