But the inherited habits of thought

slnco the history of nations was written
simply in their wars In great civilized
states , where the old aboriginal taste

patriotic to despoil the foreigner ot his

two largo , well-conditioned Haps wore
removed from the legs of the corpse
These were laid in warm water to which

flaps were then carefully washed , and

smaller piccos of from one centimeter
wide to about one to two centimeters
long ( the ulcerated surfaces of the boys
logs had been cleansed in the saino
manner as the flaps in the meantime ) ;
then these pieces were laid ou to fit as
nearly as might bo , dusted ever with
iodoform aud covered with batting , and

Decline of Canadian Exports
It is announced that the exports ot
Canada for the last year were $39,189-
107 , the imports $115,251,031. and
the goods entered for consumption
$100,078,447 , says the Toronto Glebe
As compared with last vour , thooxports
show a decrease of a million dollars , the
imports an increase ot $4,400,000 , and
the goods entered for homo consump
tion un increase of $0,800,000. Protec
tionists and free trndora will ngreo in
regarding the decline in our exports as
an unsatisfactory thing The fact that
while our exports declined wo used
nearly seven million dollars moro ot
foreign goods than in the prcceaing
year is a peculiar phenomenon , and ono
that cannot bo fully investigated until
the details of the imports are published
in a normal und hoaltliy state ot trade
nn increase of experts means simply jin
increase of consumption But the com
plaints of our millers and manufacturers
load to the bellof that the 87,000,000
worth of foreign goods have , in snltn of
a high tariff , displaced that quantity of
goods of Canadian manufacture
Jlluinnnds Now and Tlion
A day or two ago I was rouding In a
contoinporary a series of interviews with
persons engaged in tlio diamond trade ,
says the London Truth Twouty years
ago diamonds were throe times their
present value The diboovory ot the
South African mines , nnd the competl
tion between the mines , brought down
the price Amalgamation has put it
above 100 per cent in the last twnivo
months The rough ostlmato is that
during the last few years the output ot
diamonds has boon 4,000,000 carats per
utinum , and that 4,000,000 bus boon
spent per annum iu acquiring thebo
4,000,000 carats when converted by cut
tlug Into saleable articles These 4,000-
000 carats of rough diamonds only pro
duced 1,000.000 of cut diamonds , und It
cost ton shillings per carat'to cut thotn ,
The South African mines being now
amalgamated the output is reduced to
otio-hnlf , i. o. , 2,000,000 carats , and it is
estimated that this will still produce
4,000,000 , bobauso this is taken as n
fixed amount which , no matter what the
price of diamonds may bo , will annually
bo spent on the gams Whether this
will bo the case or not is the x iu the
problem ,

Tragedy in High Life
Brooklyn Citizen : She sat in the
Long Island depot und fondled a dude
dog , whllo the nurse girl carried a little
tlo human member.of the family The
dude dogs hair was banged over its
forehead , and all-it wuntod was a
pair of kneo-brccchos und a bttt-
tor-orackor hat to bo nustakdn
for a lawn A < jpni8 player looking
for some glrlstojiavo agamo Its tail

and took in the situation at a glance
Then she swooned She kept on faint

enough to berate the nurse for her care

NEW NATURAL HISTOHY ,
The Hpldcr nnd tlio Ply Socially nnd
Intellectually
The spldor is nn nnlnial of the family
araneidte , while the fly is only an in
sect Musca domestica la the classical
name by which entomologists and other
blg-hoaded bipeds know him , but the
single word fly is sttcgostivo enough
to people with an ordinary sitt-
glu-dcekcd brain The lly is
a native ot every civilized
and uncivilized country on the glebe
Ot all nulinnted beings the common
house lly seems to have the smallest
share ol every day common sense Ills
ono object In lira seems to be to toed ,
nnd ot that pleasant occupation ho sol
do in grows weary Ho la not the lonst
bit particular as to how the table Is set
or what kind of a dish you happen to
give hint , so that ho lias plcntv , says
the Philadelphia Times
The ordinary lly cant distinguish between
twoon a fly trap and a beohlvc , and
dent know the difference between ur-
sonic and wheat Hour Ilo will eat any
thing , dead or nllvo , from baked dog to
raw crow , but seems to bo es
pecially fond of sweets , and can
oat between meals such things
as sugar plums , ice cream ,
molnssos enndy and corn Balvo without
a single cramp or symptom of dysnopslt
A fly wants plenty ol light and will oven
desert his dinner to seek it if the room
bo dnrkoncd The lly oolongs to n
very nuraorous family und the killing of
a few thousand seems to make no appre
ciable difference in their uumbors Ho
lives only for today and never stores
anything nway for future use , as lie is
quite content to take things as ho finds
them , and no doubt holiovcs man to bo
made especially for his use Lvory lly
is a tramp and each lives as best ho can
oft the general public , and in a general
way they make out bolter thun the
average tramp , perhaps on nccount of
their having wings
The spider is a very curious little nni-
man , nnd , although ho has no wings and
ennuot fly , jot ho is classed higher than
the lly , because ho feeds mostly on thorn
The spider , when mtronchod in his own
homo , is not nfraid of anything , living
or dead , and should a bnotlo llvo times
his size , or even a snake , become entangled
tangled in his web ho doesn't hcsltato
to go out to it and make an nttemnt to
further secure it The spider carries a
lifo-prcsorvor with him all the time ,
consisting of an immense coil of olnstiu
rope , with the ncccssnry machinery to
work it In case ot lire ho can , with
this contrivunco , instantly let
himself down from the top
floor of his d walling , and
if the alarm should provo to bo a fatso
ono ho can use the same rope to con
veniently hoist himself again In con
structing his web ho Is ouito independ
ent of hired help or alien labor and not
only does the work of construction hini-
self , but also manufactures all of
the raw material ho uses In poli
tics ho is a high-tariff protectionist
nnd uses only homo manufactured
products Every spider is the proud
possessor ' of a domicile of his own , none
ot them over become tramps , their chief
occupation is the manufactnro of nets
and the trapping of game ; many of
them become export trappers and all
excel as ropomauors Socially ho is a
miser and a rccluso , seldom going
abroad , but is always at home to receive
company
The spider is methodical in hia habits
and attends strictly to business He
never puts oil until tomorrow what can
bo done today The spider , although not
a , criminal , commits a grave orrorin the
eating of the nasty fly and finds some
way of purifying him before lunching
on him Ho has the instincts of
an artist aud his web is deftly
woven geometrical in form and
pleasing to the eye Knows all
"tbo ropes and keeps himself in daily
practice To see him swinging at the
end of a long silkok web , looking sym
metrical as a bullet , ho seems to bo
dancing a hornpipe on the ragged cugo
of nothing , but although ho may seem
to bo amusing himself , in reality ho is
manufacturing and carefully testing
that coil of elastic web , which ho keeps
so mysteriously concealed in his little
round body
A Legnl Ircccdcnr
The question whether the friends of a
man with an unfaithful wife should give
him a hint of hoc conduct or leave him
in ignorance has become the subject of
legal consideration in Franco The
preccdont established inclines against
any revolutions to the husband
Some years ugo M. do Vcrnouil ,
a watchmaker , was informed by a
couple named Damoron that his wife
was ' carrying on" with a member of
the Cirque d'Hivor , nnmod Brollo The
Damcrons further told him that Mme
Vornoull would moot Brollo that night
at the circus door and they urged him
to go and boo for himself , and
inflamed him with wine and also
provided him with a dagger When lie
actually saw Brollo with his wife he
rushed upon them aim killed the lover
with a stab iu the bronst and seriously
wounded his wife The Brollo family
sued Vornoull and the luttor was con
demod to pay ' 3,000 francs Then the
Brellos carried war into the Damoron
camp , aud the case has just been set
tled The latter are sentenced to pay
1,000 francs to the family of their vic
tim " It was ruled that the fact of re
vealing to a husband the misconduct of
a wife did not in itself render the in
former responsible for what might
occur subsequently , but that if
efforts were made to excite the in
jured man to revenge , and it assistance
were given him into the bargain , that
was a different matter If , therefore ,
the disagreeable rovolatlon Is simply
confined to a friendly warning , the in
former will not bo rogardedas responsl
blo for tbo result ; If however , any ro
mnrks calculated to load to a breach ot
the peace are added , ho must abldo the
consequences

TIPPOOTIB , THE ARAB
Hoinotliliiit About tlio ainn Wlm Is In
thn Atrlonn Blnvo Trade
The Buffalo Express prints the fol
lowing nbout Tlppoo Tib :
Our portrait ot Tlppoo Tib is un
doubtedly a faithful ono of this crnfty
old Arab for Arab ho is , nlthough ho
looks like a gonulr.o African , llo is
otherwise known as A mud bou Ma
homed , Ho is an Arab chief , who wont
inurtho slave-trading business appar
ently with something ot the same cn-
orgv and ability thnt characterize some
of the great financial kings and indus
trial monopolists in our own lnnd
But Instead ot being born In a Chris
tian land Tlppoo Tib , like it good Mo-
hnnimcdaii ( there seem to bo no bad ,
faithless Mohammedans , as there nro
lalthless Christians ) Tlppoo Tib grew
up and nourished under the comfortable
precepts of the Koran Ho saw that
the cmiatorlal provinces and the no-
muti's-lind boyotid were full of negroes
waiting for soilio man of energy to nut
them iu their proper lavery By in
dustry and feolid business ability ho
built up his trade until ho became and
is today the best known slave dealer In
the world Independent of government ,
he is stronger in Africa than nil the
govern ments put together , and an-
army ot 100,000 men will rise at his
bidding to do his will
Ho has had many difficulties to con
tend with , dllllctiltics that only a strong
will could . overcome The goods ho
deals in the merchandise with which
ho buys ivory are exceedingly parlsh-
able worse than fruits or llvo stock to
transport Kvory black skin that ho
gets into mnrkot it said to represent
hundreds who , as it wore , have spoiled
on his hands
It Is fair to allow that Tlppoo Tib , ns
Is said to bo the case with the devil ,
isn't ' as black as ho has been painted
Stanley has had dealings with him ,
and , ns near as wo can judge ,
was well served by him on moro
than one occasion Ho has many
good traits , no doubt ; but the
ono thing that centers inter
est in this singular figure is that it
stands ns the embodiment and symbol
not merely of the slave power , but of
the Mohammedan typo of civilization
The latter of these forces is as much op
posed to the ideals of Christendom as
slavery itself
Wo have referred to this master
slaver , not qulto clearly , perhaps , as "a
man with a mission , " and such , in a supreme
premo decree ho is The awful example -
ample is as iudisponsablo as the re
former None ot the disciples had a
more important mission than Judas
Tlppoo Tib may bo regarded
as the porsonillcat'on ' of forces
against which Christian nations ,
by their faith and their present
standards of right , are pledgodto fight
In the fulfillment of his mission Tippoo
Tib , and not King Leopold , has brought
about the Brussels confnronco What
the sequel of that coiiforoncc will bo
only the years can tell In the mean
time there are few more picturesque
figuresamoiifr the powerful of earth
than thatot Tippoo Tib , the autocrat of
Africa

The Arabs when there is a famine ,
grind locusts in their hand mills , or
pound them in mortars , and mix the
Howcr and water into a dough , which
thov bake as ordinary broad , says the
Philadelphia Times But they do not
employ locusts duringascarcityof corn ,
but at ether times eat thorn ns a deli
cacy They boil thotn for a good while
in water , and attorwards stow them
with butter into a kind of a fricasso of
good flavor
The Hottentots are said to rejoice at
the appearance ot a swarm of locusts ,
although the destructive insects de
vour all the verdure In the district
The natives oat them in such quantities
that they soon grow proceptlbly fatter
They also gather the eggs and make of
thorn a kind of brown or coffee colored
soup
