Tuat is a fertile little strip along the Wady
Santa. The name however, is extended to
half a dozen oases in that region, stretching
floor the Uourara in the north to the
,, Touareg country fn the east and the great
s:lndy waste of Igidi in the west. Dance's

ate the question of race supremacy in the
Sahara, and as the Tnat oases are supposed
' to contain some thousands of fighting men
it is possible that they will not submit to
French domination without a struggle.
These oases are very imperfectly known,
having been visited by only two or three

The Vessel Navt„ated by one Brave Dan.
The entire craw, with but
one exception
the trading vessel Vailele are reported to
have had a terrible experience from fever,
losing their commander, and being for forty
days emetically drifting helplessly about.
The allele, w

was bound froth New Gyineatothe Solomon
Islands, and six days out ()apt. Evers was
seized with the fever. The contagion spread,
and within a few days the whole of the
crew, with the. exception of one man, were
down with the malady. The captain died
aftersutfering forseven weeks. sloth the
elate and steward were at death's door on
several occasions, but rallied in the most
remarkable manner. In the course of the
forty days by which the passage of the vess
set was prolonged all the men reeovered. It.
was a. most fortunate circumstance that the
weather was eaim. Rad it been otherwise,
it would have ;;one hard with the crew, as
they would have been quite unable to man-
na the vessel. As it was, the mate bore
up bravely. and although in a weak state
managed to pilot the ship to Rnbiana, and
just as she was entering the barbour the
captain died. He was buried at Rubiara

In 18S1d, however, the peop.e of Tuat hav-
ing become alarmed again on account of the
graAltai extension of the French frontier to
the south, sent another mission to the Sul-
tan, reminded him that. he was their sover-
eign, and demanded that he take steps to
protect them against France. He accord-
ingly sent envoys to the country, collected
tnoute from all the families, and promised
to expend the money in protecting Tuat
from the French. This pra:edure has been
repeated annually, touch to the uneasiness
of France when she discovered it.
A few weeks ago it was announced that
theSnitan of Morocco had formally proclaim-
ed the oases of Teat to be a part of his
dominion. In anticipation of this step, the
French bad sent a garrison south to EI -Coles,
an important caravan station in the Sahara,
near the northern boundery of Tuat. Now
comes the news that a French force is to
advance with all haste to the oases for the
purpose of forcibly occupying them.
What the Sultan of Morocco will doabout
the matter remains to be teen. He and
France have been indulging to a war of words
for some months. It is likely, however,
that he will not think Tuat worth the cost
of engaging in pitched battles with aEurop-
can power. As for France, she has no al-
ternative. She must occupy Tuat, if she is
ever to have the control in the great Saharan
regions, which she claims. That, besides
being the richest cluster of eases in the
desert, is the most important centre of trade
and is an effectual barrier in Fr'ance's way
as long as her people are able to maintain
their attitude of hostility. It is likely that
France will find herself compelled to teach
the Tuatans a severe lesson before they bow
their necks to the yoke which is to be im-
posed upon them.

A Diploma Instead -
A funny story is told of a minister who
escorted a Tarty of American friends round
the sights of London. At the Zoo, being an
enthusiast in natural history, he showed
great interest in an American monkey. His
friends promised that in return for his kind-
ness they would send him on their return a
specimen of the animal. Subsequently he
received a letter from his American friends,
regretting that they had been unable to
procure a monkey of this choice species, but
they thoughtfully enclosed a diploma of
Doctor inDivinity to mitigate his disappoint.

A satire should expose nothing but what
is corrigible, and should make a due discrim-
ination between those that aro not the pro-
per objects of it.
Actions speak more forcibly than words ;
they are the teat of character. Like fruit
upon the tree, they show the nature of
the man; while motives like the sap, are
hidden from our view.
He who thinks' better of his neighbours
than they deserve cannot be a bad man, for
the standard by which his judgment is form-
ed is the goodness of his own heart. It is
the base only who believe all men base, or,
in other words, like themselves.
Thoughtful persons of much experience
know that the way to be happy is to give
up all attempts to be so. In other words,
the cream of enjoyment in this life is always
impromptu—the chance walk, the unexpect-
ed visit, the unpremeditated journey, the
unsought conversation or acquaintance.

REAs0 tnLa.—At the last term of the
Butler County (Kansas) District Court a
young law -student made application to
Judge Leland to be admitted to practice.
The Judge appointed a committee of three
to examine him, which is usual in such cases.
The student passed the examination, and
was duly declared a full-fledged lawyer, to
the surprise of the older members of the Bar.
" How was it ? " asked one of these. " Well
replied' one of the examining committee,
lcweaskedhim about two hundred questions,
and he answered every one of them truth-
fully." "How was that ?" queried the
older member, " He simply answered by
saying he didn't know, and he told the truth
every time. As truthful lawyers are vary
scarce in this district, we concluded it would
be a good thing to admit him, even if he
didn't know any law."

How To Get Along,
If you have a place of business, be found
there when wanted. No man can get rich
by sitting around stores and saloons. Never
fool in business matters. Have order, sys-
tem, regularity, and also promptness. Do
not meddle with business you know nothing
about. Do not kick every one in your path.
More miles can be made in one day by go-
ing steadily than by stopping. Pay as you
goe A man of honor respects his word as he
does his bond. Help others when you can,
but never give wbat you cannot afford be-
cause it is fashionable. Learn to say, No ;
no necessity of snapping it out dog fashion,
but say it firmly andrespectfully. Use your
own brains rather than those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself. Keep
ahead rather than behind the times.

Raising A Beard.
11s the time for cold weather approached,
Mr. Austin, who had never allowed nature
1' facewith to have its way adorning t t o

beard, save on his upper lip, decided to
eschew shavimgand raise abeard. For once
he decided to give the wind a chance to blow
through his whiskers. His acquaintance
among manwasextensive,and
as he thought
them over he was surprised to remember
how many of them wore full beards. If
there was any reason why he should not in-
dulge his whiskers and wear a full board, he
was not aware of it. To be sure, he never
before had attempted a full beard, and so
much greater the reason why he should try
it.
Fully set in his purpose, 110 withheld his
hand and let the stubble revel on his
ohin. For a few days no one took any
notice of his fact ; then a friend ha ndo
him ten cents one morning.
Visbat's this for ?" asked Austin.
"To get a shave with ; you need it," was
the reply.
" Thanks," he replied, handing it back,
"I'm letting them grow."
"Oh, excuse me, old mans"
Austin was compelled to refuse several
dimes from facetious friends during the next
few days, until it was becoming rather tire-
some, and he determined to shut off the fun
in some wises, the x. fried who of.

"Thank you, I .lon't want a shave ; I'm
Seton; them grow ; but this will do for a
cigar,"
The joker laughed, but it was a short
staccato laugh, devoid of genuine mirth,and
Austin pocketed the silver.
After he had pocketed soveral dimes of-
fered by humorists, they became somewhat
discouraged and ceased joking in that line.
All the time, however, the beard was grow-
ing and another crop of friends coming on.
As mamas it was plainly apparent that ft
WAS a grow as you please on Austin's tace,
the friend who bad been there b.tnuielf eamo
whit advice : .e Bet they prick your chin
and are itchy. I'll tell you what to do ;
wash them every night and morning in
tepid water with old castile soap and dry
them thoroughly; that will stop the Reba
in .
Then another friend came along.
" Letting your whiskers grow, hey ± It's
mighty uncomfortable at first ; but I'll tell
you what to do. Brush them thoroughly
every night, and rub some vaseline on them
before you retire. Don't wet thorn ; it
makes them stiff and harsh."
The next friend suggested that he wi►sk
them in cold water and auoiut them with
bay rum, but in no 000005e soap.
Another suggested the use of fresh cream
twice a day to eaten em up. Many were
the suggestions, for they all knew that he
would be uncomfortable nntil they grew out
a little way.
The baby beat-ddfd make Mr. Austin'sface
feel uneamfortably prickly, and his friends
kept remindinghim of it. The suggestions
of Itis friends were given in all oineert y, and
as he actually needed something to allay the
uncomfortable feeling, he began to apply the
suggestions. One day he washed his facewith
soap and water. The nett he would brush it
and applyvasoline,and anotherhe would lave
with bay rum and anoint with cream. Ho
paid so much attention to bis face that his
wife salted if ho was preparing for a beauty
competition.
Meanwhile the beard struggled along and
gained somewhat in length, 'tut it looked
rather moth-eaten, and as soon as this be-
eame apparent to tbo naked eye, the friends
with a favorite ilair.growerattacked him.
"Just rub the bare spots with a piceo of
strong onion," suggested one.
"Bathe the unoceupiedparts of your face
with salt and water," offered another.
" Rub the places where the hair won't
grow with olive oil," said somebodyelse.
Others suggested hair vigors and hair
producers generally advertised.
Poor Austin was not allowed to forget his
beard. Almost every hour in the day some
one referred to it in one way or another.
He stopped the softening process and start-
ed in to reinforce the weals spots. The
mutter was getting serious. He rubbed the
bare spots until lois face looked as though it
bad been scalded in sections, and Emends
who had not been with him from the start
asked how lie got burned.
Nature, though somewhat dilatory, kept
working, and in spite of his remedies and
assistants his beard assumed respectable

raising became apparent to him. Friends
with whom he was intimately acquainted,
but had not seen for some time, failed to
recognize him. He nodded familiarly to men
and they stared coldly at hint and passed by
on the other side, He grasped men heartily
by the hand and they were surprised until
he told them who he was. After the had
introduced himself it was generally :
"Well, well, been lotting your beard
grow. Why, it makes you look ten years
older ; ' or :
"Those whiskers make you look fat in the
face. They're not beconvng. Shave 'em
off, old boy ; or,
"Hair on your face makes you look
like a guy, old man ; cub 'ern." At the same
time side remarks were indulged in about
the wind toying with them, and .tEolian
harps, at which Ile -was compelled to smile.
Austin filially wished that the day on
which he decided to let his heard grow had
been a blank to him. Finally, one day he
had an appointment to meetat the depot an
uncle whom he had not seen for a long time.
He met the uncle as he stepped from the
train and grasped him warmly "'teethe hand.
"Scat !" shouted the undo ; " gib I you
blankety blank bnnee man."
"But I'm not a bunco man. I'm your
nephew, John Austin."
"Keep off," shouted the uncle, "you're
no more John Austin than I be, you can't
fool me ; John hasn't got no whiskers. Keep
away or I'll have yon arrested." And he
utterly refused to have anything to do with
him.
Mortified and disgusted, Austin rushed
to a barber's and in ten minutes the labor of
weeks was as naught. Then as he left the
barber's the very first man he met whom he
knew. exclaimed :
"What, shaved yourwhiekersoff? What
a fool you were ; you looked ever so much
better with them on."

For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said stomach was about
worn out, and that I would cave to
cease eating solid food for a time at
least. I was so weak that 1 could
not work. Finally on the recom-
mendation of a friend who had used
yo u r preparations
A worn-out with beuefical re-
sults, I procured a
Stomach, - bottle of August
Flower, and com-
menced using it. It seemed to do
me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly ; my ap-
petite became good, and I suffered
no bad effects frons.. what I ate. I
feel now like a new man, and con-
sider that August Flower has en-
tirely cured me of Dyspepsia in its
