After shaking hands at the ferry dock
the other day one colored man In
quired of another, "Didn't you marry
de widow Joues about de 1st of Jin

swer. "But I've dun left her." "Why,
how's dat?" "Well, de fust week she

The Loneliness of Greatness.
\ sometimes think that great men
suffer the greatest impoverishment 1?
the realm of human kindness. In the
first place, we are afraid of approach
lug them lest our offers should seem
presumptuous and impertinent, or we
think that such little ministries tu
ours can n?ver be needed, and the
Idudly service is withheld. Dr. Rob
ertson Xicoll has told us what delicate
delight it gave to Ian Maclaren when
anybody did him a kindness. An In

AN ALL DAY CIGAR.
TK? Kind Smoked by a Tribe of South ,
American Indians.
Clears a foot and n half long, which j
*?* made for owe day's smoking, are |
?' own la the American Museum of j
Natural History. With them is a hold
er which looks like a timing fork and
1* large enough to be used for pitch- j
Irjr hay.
Far up the Rio Nigra, a tributary of !
the~Xniazou7 t wo explorers maae a col
lection of articles for the museum.
The ludiaus there made clgnrs eight
een inches long and as big around as
a child's arm. One of these cigars la
too much for any ease loving man to
clasp, so the Indians put the fragrant
roll between the tines of a fork two
and a half feet long, stick the sharp
end of the handle Into the ground at
a convenient distance from their ham
mocks and take a puff from time to
time _ as they sway lazily backward
nnd forward.
Th?v are many other plcturesquc
articles in iho collection, which was
made (luring n three months' Journey
from the coast. The material Is of the

SOME NEEDS OF OCR -SCHOOL,
(By Eleanor Leslie).
One of the many things we need Is
more playgrounds, both in and out
doors.
In the first place, if the stumps wert
taken out of the west sid^ of the
ground more of the pupils would play
there. Both sides, especially the west
side, need to be leveled.
In the summer the larger boy pity
bice ball on the east side, and therefore
utilize the best part. The boys In the
intermediate classes have to look some
where else for their playgrounds.
They usually play the same game out
in the road io front of the schoolbouse.
The smaller boys utilize the west
side. This crowds tho Rirls out of all
the grounds except in a little space
back of the schoolhouse.
