his Gfy.Gfth or hfty-sixth year. His parents were
poor and his early life was passed working in a
cotton mill, striving between the hours Of
labor and sleep to pick up the secrets
OF literary knowledge. As he grew older he
longed to become missionary, and, after he had
studied medicine and theology for a few years. he
was despatched by the London Missionary Society
In 1910 TO Port Natal, In South Africa. Long and
faithfully did be labor among the wild natives OF
that hitherto unknown region, and there married
the daughter of fellow missionary, Miss
Mofratt, who accompanied him upon his travels
until her untimely death from fever. at Shupanga,
in 1862. The extent OF his explorations In South
Africa will be imagined when 1t is stated that, dur
ing his absence Of sixteen years until 1885, he
marched IL 900 miles, In the last-named year he
returned to England and published his nfst book,
missionary Travels ana Researches in South
Africa" In March, 1858, he returned TO Africa and
undertook what is known as
THE zAMBgzI EXPEDITION,
discovering Lake Nyassa Here he lost and buried
his faithful wife. In 1868 he returned to the
coast, and thence proceeded to England. where he
was received with increased favor. In 1865 he pub
lished his work, IAN Expedition to the Zambezi
and its Tributarles,r and returned for the third
time 10 Africa. This was his last appearance in
civilization. He started In 1866 up the Rovuma
River, and was heard from occasionally up TO 1867,

save paper, which leads Livingstone, after
Cling the pages, TO write upon every
available square inch OF Margin will be
noticed too. In all civilized countries the
preservation OF scraps OF handwriting OF
great men has been sacred task long after the
men had passed away. In the great libraries and

truth is that the scraps bring the mind Of the OBJ
server back by an intimate link to the men and
times OF the past to which he has hitherto directed
his thoughts, IN the language of DR.. Livingstone,
'1ikc addressing an abstract idea," and he finds
himself face to face with something which brings
the man or the time like palpabe entity before
him. II is net necessary here to descant upon the
peculiarites OF DR.. Livingstone's style or dcton,
upon which we have heard such miraculously pro-
found comment Of late. Carlyle epitomizes the life

said that Moosa's cunning story, although doubted
originally by many, was sufficiently dis
proved by this expedition, yet nothing
definite Of the great travellers where
abouts was learned until March. 1869, when he
was heard from at Ujiii. Two years OF silence,
doubt and misgivng passed, and no word came.
This was the condition or things when In 1871, the
HERALD Search Expedition started its caravans
under the command OF Mr.. Henry NJ Stanley, the
world already knows with what happy result. An
interesting portion OF DR.. Livingstone's letter is
his reference 10 the sources OF the mystic river
which
HERODoTus, THE FATHER OF HISTORY,
learned from the treasurer OF the Temple OF
Minerva, on the island OF sails, In the delta OF
Egypt 1890 years ago. Misty, indeed, were the
ideas of the time with regard to the great river
source OF Egypt's wealth, and Herodotus himself
only corrects one absurd idea to account for
the rise OF the Nile to fall into another
more ingeniousy so. The treasurer of the
temple aforesaid, while showing him over
its marvels OF ponderous architecture, chatted
with him about the sources OF the Nile, and as
clcerone will, assumed q perfect knowledge OF
every subject that came up Herodotus did not
quite believe the story, but he gives IL with his
usual impartialty. 'That there are two noun

About Sea Lions.

A letter writer who has been on the
coast of California, writes letter home
in which he speaks Of sea lions. Now,
when you mention sea lions, the suppose
tion is you ARE talking Of some iright(ul
beast like the ion'of Africa ON his native
heath but in the ease of the sea lions,
you have different animal TO deal with.

Some Of these sea lions are monsters Of
their kind weighing 1000 or 200 lbs,
