no Inconsiderable culture, have prog
ressed so far In the iron age that they
h&ve invented the softer grades of
steel. The steel tips of these weapons
are not considered Imitative of the
leaf but of the obsidian tips which are
frequently used by warriors of the
same age. The name is preferably
spelled alfeagal as In better conform
ity with the etymology. It Is an Afri
can name, but not Zulu nor of any
language In South Africa. It was
introduced by the Portuguese discov
erers, who had already borrowed it
from the Berbers of Morocco or mere
likely from the Moors during their ;
domination of the Iberian peninsula! j
In the Berber it is al-zaghayah or j
without the article zaghayah and j
means sper r. In the chivalric period
It existed In English In the composite
Sancegay or launce-de-gay.

Ittle lemon juice and Jamaica ginger.
?he doctor’s idea is that the lemon
auses a greater secretion of the gas
ric juices and that the ginger serves
,s a stimulant, the need of which can
>e best appreciated by the victim.
The remedy has been used on the
iolace with various degrees of buc
less, and it is not pretended that it
vill prove effective for everybody. It
should he taken in small dose3 as soon
is trouble seems to be approaching,
ilthough it may be of some use at a
veil-advanced stago.
Uninviting as the beverage may
seem, it can be made after a little
sxperimenting so that it is very
igreeable. The lemon juice and gin
jer is not as nalatable as the soda,
but has been found to give better re
sults. Usually it is best to make it
with more ginger than lemon and with
just enough carbonic water to make
It drinkable.
Players of Cards.
If a tailor be the ninth part of a
man, it muct be a consolation to the
card-player to be at least a fourth. If,
Indeed, he be “dummy” he need not
be a tailor’s dummy. The whole range
of human emotions is his. The tri
umphant holder of four trumps, the
massacred and innocent victim of a
‘grand slam,” the irritable and irrec
oncilable whiner whose trick has been
ioubly won by a sleepy partner, are
subjects for caricaturist and tragedian
ilike. For in a game of cards one has
he mirror and measure of a man. A
Hogarth might sharpen his pencil or a
i>amb write a whole series of essays
ipon the card-player. The benevolent
dd gentleman, with gold-rimmed spec
acles; the studious old gpald whose
nlnd carries the jyhotfessioh of cards
ike a human kaleidoscope; the dream
tr who is thinking of some Suit more
omantic than the four cardinal points
if the card-player’s compass; the
lopeless and abject beginner—aU
uove in the pasteboard circle. They
.re not invariably models of propriety,
>f restraint and temper, but always
hey are artists’ models.—R. R. Buok
ey in the London T. P.’s Weekly.
A Gladstone Story.
Mr. E. F. Benson, In an article on
.he winter charms of Grlndelwald In
‘Travel and Exploration," related an
anecdote of Mr. Gladstone. It seems
that at a country house one morning
the guests were discussing at break
fast the right way of packing a
sponge-bag, when the sponge has been
used and Is consequently water
logged. Hr. Gladstone, who had ap
parently been solely absorbed by his
morning’s correspondence, suddenly
closed the discussion by Informing the
party that they were all wrong. "The
only proper method is to wrap It up
In your bath-towel, and stamp upon
It. Then put it in your sponge-bag.
You will find It perfectly dry.”
College Girls Economize.
The girls at Wellesley are working
hard to raise $100,000 for the student
building and, in consequence, have
given up many of their pleasures in
the way of fudge and parties. They do
not ride when they can walk and will
not give flowers to their pet senior,
';ui al! the money possible Is put in
the bank for tha fund.
