Exchange of Presents In Africa.
Frequently one has to deal with
chiefs; in fact, in every village the
traveler will probably be welcomed
by the chief. An interchange of
greetings through an interpreter
establishes a good understanding.
An interchange of presents is usual
on these occasions, and is an almost
universal custom. Etiquette requires
the chief to give a present in
return. As a rule, a chief can only
offer a bunch of bananas, some pawpaws
or possibly a goat or two, some
of which may possibly be welcome.
On a special occasion the chief may
offer tne traveler a wife, a gift
which he will probably decline with
a great profusion of thanks.?Engineer.
A On* Word Epitaph.
'There is only one one word epitaph
in this country," said the undertaker.
"It is in the town of
Worcester. I believe it is quite a
drawing card. Holiday makers come
to see it from miles around. The
epitaph consists of the word 'Gone/
A Worcester auctioneer lay dying.
He whispered to his wife, with a
quiet smile:
"Tve been "going, going," all
my life. Now I'll soon be "gone."
Put that on my tombstone, dear,
that one word "Gone" only/
"The wife complied."?New York
Press.
His Comment.
A Chicago whist enthusiast, who
thinks that he is a great player,
wrote and published a book on the
5' ame and sent one copy to a famous
[ilwaukee player for his opinion
j of it. In about a week the book
I was returned to him with the folI
i ? 1.11 T\ o:. v.
.lowing levier; say lsvmr otr?? ulu
fivor of the IChth inst., accompanied
by your book, was dnly received.
I have read it very carefully.
It seems to be a vary good
game, but I don't think it is as good
a game as whist."

People of all sorts weigh themselves
on the i>onny in the slot machines
found widely distributed In public
places, but never before had this man,
anyway, seen anybody weigh on one
of them anything but himself or herself
as this weigher, a woman, did in
a subway station.
She came In carrying in one hand a
muff aiul ia the other a box of polished
oak that was narrow and proportionately
high and maybe a foot In length.
That the i?ox was heavy was shown
by the fact that the leather hanille
had l>oon stretched somewhat by its
weight.
And' apparently its present carrier
had found it heavy and was curious
about its weight, for now she set the
, box on the platform of one of those
; weighing machines and dropp.'tl :: p? ni

The Amoeba.
The amoeba (Greek "change"), the
supposed pioneer in the line of living
forms, is a naked mass of living matter.
or protoplasm, flowing out in all
directions in "blunt processes," and
the endlessly varying form has earned
for the simple animal the popular
name of "amoeba" (Proteus animalcnlae).
They are all minute, but some are
distinctly visible to the unaided eye.
The Jelly-like creature flows along the
surface of stone or plant by the slow
protrusion of its ever changing processes
and in this way gets around its
food. It Is all stomach, any part of it
taking hold of and dig 'ng the food
that happei ! to come- intact with
it. On atta king its m. m size the
amoeba drt ^^?elf and breaks
into two d .^tei^ loebas. each of
which conta ehalf o?.' the mother nucleus.
This ^ nDie orgauism seems to
exhibit in smalt-compass the usoal animal
functions. It feeds, secretes,
grows and reproduces itself.?New
York American.
