“GO of JOhn Dunn, wpo was known as.' WHITE MEN WHO LIVE WITH COLORED RACES. Many Instances Where Rich Rich Cut Themselves Oil From Civilization. _thn a European abandons the llfe to which he has been brought up, and throws in his lot with a colored race, he is said to “Go Ifanti.” Such lapses from civilizaâ€" tion are by no means uncommon in Africa, India, China, Japan, and Judeed, in almost every country in- . to which the white man has forced his way with whisky and Bible. A curious case of cutting oneself off from civilization occurred in Persia some years ago. A rich .English traveller was captured by hill-robbers at the edge of the desâ€" ert, about midway between Ispa- han and Yedz. They held him to ransom, which was to be arranged for by a friend of the Englishman, _who was staying at Teheran. Before the release could be effect- ed, the captured man fell deeply in love with the youngest daughter of the chief of the marauders. De- spite the entreaties of his friend, he put the old life behind him, mar- ried the girl, and became a full- ledged Persian robber. On his fa- ther-in-law’s death the renegade Englishman succeeded the former as head of THE ROBBER GANG. ‘A well-known British war correâ€" spondent relates how he was once entertained by a friendly Arab, whose tent was pitched a few miles south of Gururu. During dinnerâ€" .which was a. typical Arab meal -â€"- the conversation was carried on by means of the few words of Arabic known to the newspaper man, and, .when words failed. signs were used. The inevitable hookah was pro- duced, and the two men puffed away in contemplative silence. At the end of half an hour or so the guest was utterly astounded at hearing his entertainer say in per- fcct English: “Hang it all, let’s have a decent smoke!” “What the â€"â€" Why, you’re no ‘Arabl” exclaimed the war correâ€" ,spondent. The brownâ€"faced, bernouse-clad man smiled grimly as he rummaged out an old well-colored briar pipe and a packet of choice mixture. an Englishman,” “I was once "said he. as he passed the tobacco crer, “but, nowâ€"â€"-â€"â€"” He finished the sentence by a shrug of his shoulders. They talked of Hyde Park and of Piccadilly; of Hurlingham and of Lord’s; of hunting, of shooting, of fishing. The guest felt the delicacy of putting questions; the host vol- unteered no explanations. He dc- clared that he would never return to the irritating, tightening bonds of civilization. “THE DESERT HOLDS ME,” he said simply, as the other swung himself on to his camel and departâ€" cd, niarvclling at the vagaries of mankind. ' ‘ _ A few years ago a captain) ma wellâ€"known regiment stationed in one of‘the North-“Test Provinces of India became infatuated with a. handsome hill-girl. The mess soon lost its attraction for him, and the society of the uncivilizcd maiden became preferable to that of the station ladies, with their latest London and Paris fashions. He eventually married his dusky di- vinity, and “went under.” He is still perfectly happy and contented, and, living a free-and-easy life, has no desire to return to the trammcls of society. In Japan there are many Euro- peans, who, fascinated by the charms of the East, have put the \Vest for ever behind them. With- in a few miles of Tokio there lives a man who was once a familiar figâ€" ure in St. James’ Street and Pall Mall. In the autumn of 1902 he _went out to Japan on a yachting cruise with some friends. He he- came enamoured with a peach-and- crcam complexioned native, wooed, and married her, and disappeared from the world that had known him. A wealthy Frenchman, when on a visit to the Far East, met a charming daughter of Japan. He fell madly in love with her, and asked her to become his wife. This she consented to do on condition that he agreed to live in the land of the Mikado. It was a terrible .wrench for him to abandon his be- loved Paris, but he felt that it mould have been a still greater sac- rifice to give up the girl who had ,won his heart. He now lives in n secluded and beautiful house near Kioto, and Paris is almost A FORGOTTEN MEMORY. There are several well-known in- stances of Europeans turning Zulu, one of the most notable being that C‘etewayo’s White Man. Through his bravery, Dunn soon won the heart of the Zulu King, and he eventually became a. chief. A famous London journalist, who has acted as war correspondent in almost every part of the globe, re- lated the following story: Cete- wayo, in the days before the Zulu war, once asked Dunn suddenly what he would do if the Zulus fought against the white men. Dunn at once replied that he would go to the side of his own people, and Ce- tcwayo grimly told him that, had be given any other answer he would have stabbed him, for he would have known him to be a liar. When the war did break out, Dunn kept his word. Always a white man at heart, he took up arms on the side of his own people. You will find EurOpeans wedded to Samoan women, with their deep languorous eyes; to women of. the Celestial Empire, with almonds eyes and crippled feet; to dusky full-lipped Africans ; to North American Indians, with long broad noses and hair as strong as horses’.

The superstition among the Mal~ tcse connect these with the tradi- tion that St. Paul when shipwreck- cd was cast on their island, and that it was there that while light- ing a, bundle of sticks for a fire a viper. fastened on the Apostle’s hand. St. Paul calmly shook the reptile off into the flames and no harm followed. The natives wear these stones us talismans, in which character they suppose them servâ€" iceable in warding off dangers from snake bites and poisons. ' They are found in St. Paul’s Cave, imbedded in clay, and are set in rings and bracelets, and when found to he in the shape of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. They are also taken in- ternally, dissolved in wine, which method is attended, according to some people, by more immediate results. _... .. “.41.... _.._.. FORTHE SUPERSTITIOUS.

WW COMMENDS A GOOD DIET SOME STRANGE OFFERS Tllli TORTURES SIR JAMES CRICIITON BROWNE DEPRECATES POGR LIVING. .â€" l'ursiizioniousncss in Diet: May Lead to Serious Results, He Says. At the annual congress of the Royal Institute of Public Health, at I‘lvxton, England, Sir James Crichâ€" ton Browne, president of the Preâ€" ventive Medicine section, delivered an address on parsimony in nutriâ€" tion, in which he deprecated the present tendency to abstemiousness m diet as an offset to “over feed- ing,” while he uttered a warning to “recordâ€"breaking” athletes. Sir James Crichton Browne pointed out that physiologists and medical men of high authority are preaching not merely simplicity of diet, but a. degree of abstemious- ness that would hitherto have been regarded as dangerous. Chronic over-feeding or the habitual ingesâ€" tion of an excessive amount of nuâ€" tiiment was one of the burning questions of the hour. MEAT EATERS RULE THE WORLD. The campaign against overfeeding was all very well, but we need not substitute for it, or rashly accept, the new and startling standards prescribed for us. He proceeded adversely to criticize" the declaraâ€" tion of Professor Chittendon that the daily amount of proteid or al- buminous food required for the maintenance of health and vigor is not more than oneâ€"half that regard- ed as necessary. Vitality and en- ergy might almost be measured by the degree in which animal flesh en- tered into diet. 'With the departure of the old re- gime in Japan the prohibition against eating flesh had been swept away, and coincident with the raâ€" pid rise of Japan among the nations there had been a vastly increased consumption of animal food by the best people. The Anglican Alliance was now typified by the popularity of beef steak with mustard and Worcester sauce. (Laughter.) RECORDâ€"BREAKIN G ATHLETES The conviction that eating was one of the chief pleasures of life had led to much too close shaving in diet in the application of puni- tive measures. Of course, prisoners must be. pun- ished, but there is plenty of punâ€" ishment without inanition, and there was no reason why we should run the risk of permanently damag- ing our criminals who were in dur- ance vile for a time. It was level- ling up outside prison and not level- ling down within it that was wantâ€" ed. (Hear, hear.) Economy not less than humanity and justice de- manded that every prisoner shall be placed in sound hygienic condi- tions and sufficiently fed so that he might do some useful work while in prison, and might not, when set at liberty, swell the great army of deâ€" generates and incapables who have thbe maintained out of public funds. There was a tendency in these ex- perimental days to be a little short- sighted in our physiological views. 11.- every newspaper there was testi- mony to the beneficial effects of strenuous physical exercise. But how many of these athletes lived to a green old age, and how many who had undergone severe training and made records in one way or another succumb prematurely to heart troubles. He could not help fear- ing, that the breaking of records might sometimes end in the break~ ing of hearts. We must not con- fuse muscular energy with constituâ€" tional vigor.

HARD ON THE YOUNG MAN. A circular which a now defunct tea company distributed among its lady canvassers contained the an- nouncement that "the young lady who procures the best result, com- pared with the amount of salary re- ceived, for not less than six months’ service, will receive $2,500 and be allowed to marry any single young gentleman in the firm. Should the young gentleman refuse to marr her, we will pay the breach of prom- ise damages, $500 extra, and dis- miss the young gentleman from the firm.” In the early days of our late Queen’s reign the. proprietor of a library at one of the leading Ken- tish watering-places issued the an. nouncoment of a lottery for a hus- band, who was guaranteed to be in the emjoyment of an annuity of not less than $1,000 per annum.

' In form and color it is like a re- posing camel, while its interior with its gray, weather beaten, alâ€" most perpendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhaug- ing the southern landing place stands a column of rock closely rcâ€" sembling a sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of. Capt. Cook. The water of the island is of a pale green hue, and anything dipped into it becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of siilphur are always plainly perceptible. On a. fine moonlight night a we. - derful sight is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island.
