little later: cele of the bridesmaids,
w hese' toilet consisted of a dainty
necklace of beads and: a copper , ring
around one altkle, invited me to drink
a draught of native beer. �] lre beer
was in a large calabash., and I felt
constrained to drink some of it. These
nativets. know how to make love, and
they know how to make war, but, as
my soul Iiveth, they don't know -lrow
to make beer. The stuff they gave
me to drink was about as thick as
boarding-house cocoa ; in color it was
like unto .milk that a very dirty
maid -of -all -work road been stirring
round in a soiled soup dish with. • an
unwashed forefinger. It irad neither
body nor rsoul in it, and was as insipid
as a policennan at, a prayer meeting.
Some of the niggers got gloriously
merry oln it, and sang songs and
danced weird unlucky dances under its
influence. But it did not appeal to
me in that way -possibly I was not
educated up to its niceties.
Tlae wedding joys: were of a pecn-
liar nature. Bride and bridegroom,
linked arm be mem, mlarched up and
down on, a pa.d iibout twenty arils
in 1'ength. A 'nude minstrel'marolted in
front, and drew unearthly music from
a • kind" of mouth -organ. Girls squat-
ting in, the dust en route clapped
their hands and chanted a chorus.
The groom hopped first on one log
and then. on the other, arid tried to
Iook gorgeously happy ; the bride
kicked her satin skirts out behind
and pranced along tlhe track as grace-
fully' as a lady ' camel. in the mating
season. Behind the. principal actors in
the drama came a regiment of youths
and girls, and the antics they cut
were worthy of the occasion. ;Now
and again some dusky Don Juan
would dig his thumbs into the ribs
of a daughter of Ham. The lady
mould promptly squeal and try to
look coy. It is not easy. to look coy
when you have not enough : clothes
on yoar whole ,body to make h. patch
to cover a black eye, but . still they
tried' it, for the sex seems to trier to
be much alike on the inside, whether
they dress in a, coat of paint or a
coat of sealskin.'
Not the Pout of Poetry.
By and by the':groom took his bride
by the arm ;acid made an effort to
induce her'to.leave her nrnids of hon-
or, and "trek" towards the cabin,
which henceforth was to be her
home. The lady pouted and shook
his hand: off her arnr, whilst the maid
ens laughed and clapped •their hands,
dancing in the dust -strewn sunlight
with such high -kicking action as would
win fame for .acv ballet dancer in
Europe. ''The young men jeered the
groom, and incited him to take charge
of his own. He• hong down his ebony
head, and looked sillily sullen, and the
bride continued to "pout." Have you
ever seen a savage nigger wench pout;'
my masters'? Verily it is a sight
worth travelling ,for, to see. First• of
all she wraps her mouth in- a simper,
nand her • lips look like a. fold is a
badly -doubled blanket. Then. slaw-
ly she draws • the corners towards
t'he centre, just .•ts the universe will
bo crumap'led up on' the day of judg-
ment. It is a beaultiful sighnt-the
mouth which, when she smiled, looked.
like a sword =wound on'tibo flank' of''
a hose non* when the "point",1s coma-.
plet•e looks like a crulmpled• concer-
tina. The groom again •timidly ad-
vanced his hand towards the satin -
covered arm of has. sponrse,. and the
"pout" became' more prolnounced than
ever. Tine stint& of 4one eye was shy=
ly turned'towards the. bridesmaids,
thle other rolled with infinite sub-.
tlety in. tine ,direction of him who
was tobe her lord needy master ; and'
true "point" grew larger. anrd larg-'
er, until 'I was`,constrained to push
nny way.amidst thle maids to `get .a
loak behind the bride, for I fancied
t'hie back -•of her 'neck' ninist surely
-have got someholiv in the front of her
face. When; I got to the front again
thle "pourt" was still growing, the'
,rich red lips ,in .their midnight set-
ting looking like' some• giant rose in
full. bloom that a.n' elephant's hoof
head trodden uipon. fo the show pro-
ceeded. At last on!e of the brides-
maids stepped from amidst her sis-
ters, and playfully pushed the bride
in• tore diret'tion of her Ifome. Then
the "poutt" gave way to a •smile, the
white teeth gleanring in the gap like
tombstones In a.. Highland chux'ch-
yal.rd. I had been a 'bit scaled of her,
"pont," but when she sinilet:1' I looked
anxiously, for myholrse. After a lit-
tie ananoeulnri'ng the 'blissful pair'
marched eabinwards, with the whole
group of naked men and maids cir-
cling round them, stamping c their
bare feet, kicking up clouds of dust
like a mob of tra`elli,n:g cattle. The
men yelled some barbarorus rnelo'dy,
flourishied their arms, smote upon.
tbleir breasts, and anon gripping a
damsel by the waist circled afar like
goats on a green grass; hill slope.
'l7.ue maids twisted abet,, turned in

forty years, Mr..Delaney is a stone-
mason by. trade, find has helped con-.

received great , benefit from the nee
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a report;
er,o1 tire Mirror called to obtain'.
particulars of the .cure, and Mr.
Delaney cheerfully gave hien the fol -'I
lowing statement : "Last March,”
said lie, "my health became so poor
that I was compelled to quit ,work.
The chief symptoms, of my illness
were extreme wei'tkness in' the,
lege, loss of appetite, and palpita-
tion of the heart. .The least exer-
tion would cause my heart to pal-
pitate violently, and if I stooped
to pick up any'thing I wound. be
overcome with dizziness. My legs
were so weak that I was compelled
t.o sit down and put my, clothes on.
'Tho doctor I consulted said I had
a bad case"of anaemia. He prescrib-
ed for me, and I took three bottles
of medicine, but all the while . I ac-
tually grew tv'oise, until I be-
came so weak and emaciated
that -it seemed impossible
that I could recover. Having
read of the cures effected by Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills I determined to give
therm 'a trial. Prom the first box I
mated an improvement in my condi
tion. My legs became .stronger, my
appetite improved, and by the time
had used four boxes I felt better than
I h'ad done for months. `,Phat the pills
are a wonderful reneedy there is -not
the least doubt. I can do light -work
about home without experiencing any
of the unpleasant sensations that I
once" underwent. ' I feel an altogether
different mran despite the fact that I
am now sixty-seven years of age. Ali
I can say is that I attribute rily
present good health to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and I would advise any
other similar sufferer' 'to try' them."
To those ,who are weak, easily 'tired,
nervous, or whose blood is out .of
condition, Dr. STilliams' Pink Pills
come as a blessing, . curing when all
other medicines fail, and restoring
those wlro give them a fair trial to

caused general satisfaction. She
writes :
"I wish to make known to all what
good I have obtained through the
use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are•
a very valuable remedy. T have been
a sufferer for over two years with
Kidney Disease, T employed a doc-
tor, but did not succeed in getting
any better, I heard of the wonderful
cures Dodd's Kidney Pills were work-
ing in. the Island, and :bought a box
of them. After using the first box,
I felt that I was getting better, so
I bought more. Now( I can truly say
that I am a well woman. 1 think
every suffering woman should know
of the remedy that will cure her, and

lication."

A young girl who lived in a lit
tle village near Cori, Ireland, broke
,an" artery in her chest and lost ai-
most every drop of. blood in her body.
7Tlro doctor wino was called hacl only
been qualified a year and was not
out .of )rias - twenties. He injected
salt. into his patieirt's veins to bring
Icer around, then, turning to her
naturally anxious parents, lie saki
"1 can save her life if anyone will
allow mato Inject a quart of their
blooci into .Iter system."
Although there were two strong
sons in tale room, neither said a word,
but their mother, a delicate woman,
volunteered to give the required
quantity. The doctor saw at once
that she required every jrop sho
•had .in her body, , and without an-
other word, he bared his arta, cut a
vessel anti allowed, the blood to run
into the veins of his patient. ire
saved the young lady's , life, but he
was never Able to make good the
'blood be. had lost,. and about six
Months later he -died. -
Another case somewhat- similar oc-
curred in Salem, Mass. A wealthy
merchant, a.' a result of an accident,
lost a large quantity of blood, arid,
when the doctor arrived, lie was ly-
ing in bed, white and apparently dead.
The unfortunate lean hacl only just
been married, and his wife prayed to
the doctor to save her husband's life.
The doctor felt sure that if he gave
his own blood to bring back the pa-
tient's life ib would take Irian weeks
to make good the loss, and that pos-
sibly Ire might never make it good at,
all..Be would not allow till wife to
make the' sacrifice, but gave nearly
a quart of `his own blood. The mer-
chant recovered, but the doctor who
gave -him back his strength and life
is• a feeble, pale -faced man, unable to
work or follow his profession. He
lives with tyle merchant and his wile,
who look after him as if 11e were their
own brother.
A country doctor died • of typhus
fever early in the year, He was called
to attend a young >,uau who was in-
fected with tine disease, and he went
into the room where the patient lay
and carefully examined the body. At
the time the doctor was in a lore
state of bealtli, and Ire caught the
dreaded fever and. died within a fort-
night.
A young French doctor some time
ago inoculated himselt'•with cholera
germs and suffered many weeks of
serious . illness in order tee experiment

was, belioevecl to cure all germ dis-

fused to act, and the .plucky doctor
died of the fever lie had given himself.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is oily one
way to cure deafness, and that i8 by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in-
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. Wb en this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear-
ing, and when it isentrroly closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken put and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;

is nothing but an are
amed condition�of
the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can-
not be cured by all's Catarrh Cure. Send for
