THE CALDWELL NEWS-CHRONICLE. CALDWELL. TEXAS, MARCH X.
THE DWAKFg OP DOAROA.
Characteristics of • Facilitar Bam «I Cm-
trat Africa.
The dwarf* are of two type —
Hack- bkitmed. with a good deal of
•tiff, curling black hair about the
body, and red or yellow-skinned, with
• tendency to redtoesf in the hair
growing <>n the body. Some of the
dwarfs, especially when young, had
quite hairy bodies,and the women not
infrequently had incipient whisker .
Sir H. Johnston arrived at the con-
clusion that these Congo dwarfs no
longer speak an original language of
their own. but talk in a slightly cor-
rupted form the language of the
Jailer negroes, in whose vicinity they
dwell. All lio- dwarfs examined by
him spoke either the Mibuba or the
Kibira language. The Kibira if a
very debased form of Hantu speech,
which is widely spoken by the forest
tribes from mar th* Suuliki river 10
the vicinity of the Congo. The Mi-
liuba language, on the other hand,
js not Bantu, but approximates im>re
to the Soudan language? spoken to
the north of the liantu language
Held. Mm in speaking either lan-
guage the dwarfs introduce curious
^hiatuses" into their pronunciation,
irh ich bear a strong rtsemblance to
the clicks in Itusbman and Hotten-
tot. They also speak in a curious
and very marked1 sing-song. Among
physical features which specially dis-
tinguish them from their neighbors,
«ays the Geographical Journal, is the
large size and flatness of the nose.
This organ has scarcely any bridge,
and the wings of the nose are very
large. The dwarf.- also have a very
long upper lip, which is scarcely, if
at all. everted. In many other points
they exhibit apelike features, but
their intelligence i* as a rule well de-
veloped, and though hideously ugly
and often very apelike in appearance,
they are usually of a winning and
cheerful disposition, while their
dances are so frolicsome and gay and
full of pretty movements as to dis-
tinguish them markedly in that re-
spect from the average negro. They
also have a good idea of singing, and
form themselves into little com-
panies of minstrels. In these per-
formances they generally preftr to
remain seated, and in this position
they dance with th< ir arm« and legs
and backs and stomachs in the droll-
est fashion, singing loudly at the
came time chants of a more or lesa
pleasing nature.

Mwm Fake Worked la Badea by an Ka
tsrprisiog Quack
Many people in Baden, says tha
New York Herald, were considerably
surpised the other day when they read
the following notice in the Waib-
atadter Zeitung:
"Attention! At the beginning of
the coming month I will establish
myself as physician at lieicbartf Hans-
en. I will hold consultation.- from
aeven to nine o'clock. I will be at
the Camel from nine to eleven o'clock;
•t the Crown from eleven to one, at
the Hose from one to three, at the
Mtag from three to five, and at the
Jiion from five to seven.
"It will be úseles- to disturb me
after seve n o'clock, except in the case
of grave accidents or very serious ill-
ness.
"Fee moderate. Ki ft y percent, re-
duction in case of children.
**Kvcry adult patknt will receive,
free of charge, a full bottle of beer.
"Respectfully, I)r. Jacob B—
late of America.
"N. li.— My arrival will 1k> an-
nounced by the official town criers."
Dr. Jacob 15— «Iot a not say where
he practiced in t h i - country, but, as
he announces himself ns "late of
America," y>c rustie- of Baden can-
not be blamed JÍ they infer from his
vrords that American physician# are
accustomed to give bottles of beer
to their patient- and to have thur
arrival in strange places heralded by
town criers.

LONDON STOCK BROKERS.
Do >ot Advertise, Sat Keek ta Avoid
All FaMicity.
Speaking of stockbrokers in Lon-
don the Dally Mail says they have lit-
tle in common but a desire to avoid
publicity. The individual member
must not advertise his business, and
he «brinks from advertising himself.
The New York broker rejoices to
cee his name in print: but the London
broker, before vouchsaüng the barest
information to a newspaper reporter,
insists upon a promise that his name
shall not be mentioned.
This modesty, how. ver, only holds
good so far a- the stock xehangc is
concerned, and it is doubth-s due
largely to that mysterious fear of the
autocratic committee, which only
finds parallel in the schoolboy's awe
of his master, or in a Russian editor's
deference to the censor. He likes to
ee< himself mentioned in society para-
graphs—he i- even suspected of occa-
sionally seeking this—and he enjoys
the publicity that comes from sport,
speechmaking. subscription lists and
prospectuses.
He used to be content with a small
business and regarded himself a- well
off with an income which now some of
his clerks would despise. He did his
business on conservative liru-; he
liked t<> stick to investors, and by
cold-watering speculators—especial-
ly speculators in a small way—he did
much to encourage the bucket .-hop.
with it- tapes, it.- cover, it- knavery
and it- f'llso hopes.
All that is now changed. Stock-
brokers have more thandouhh d their
number and competition ha- brought
down their commis-ions. Tin y in-
courage their client - to speculate by
all legitimate mean-, and they frank-
ly confess that they cannot 1 iv< by
investment alone.
