Openipg Up a Continent.

The wonderful progress made in re-
cent years in African exploration has
not only tended to lift the veil of OBJ
scurity which has for so many centuries
enshrouded the dark continent, but it
has also shown the unknown land is pos
sessed of so many natural attractions, so
much fertility of soil and such wealth of
production in many of the most needed
and valuable articles of modern COM
merce that further explorations and
more, complete development of the couR-
try must soon follow. First attracted
toward the southern extremity of the
continent, because it lay in the then path
to India, England seized upon the Cape
of Good Hope, and the subsequent dis
covevy of its diamond fields soon brought
an adventurous and eager population,
who have been and are still driving back
or annihilatlng its barbarous tribes and
peopling it with hardy Anglo-Saxons.
The Abyssinian war unlocked the sealed
doors of that section to the world and
gave us a glimpse of its interior. On
the north, France has made province
of Algeria and is extending her influence
and civilization over adjoining territory.
French engineers are now engaged in
surveying several routes by which it is
contemplated to turn the waters of the
Mediterranean in upon the desert of Sa-
hara and convert its trackless wastes,
which have been an insuperable bar to
progress and discovery in this direction,
into vast navigable inland sea. Other
French capitalists contemplate the early
construction of several hundred miles of
railroads extending into Central North
ern Africa or even beyond thefirst range
of mountains to the navigable waters of
| the great rivers toward the main center
of the continent. While the misgoyern-
ment of a thoroughly despotic power
has retarded the regeneration of Egypt,
yet wonderful changes and advances
have been made in the land of the
Pharaohs, and trip down the Nile has
become almost as safe and easy as trip
upon the Rhine, and the world is again
familiar with the ruins of Thebes and
the temples of Karnac. The spirit OF
discovery and exploration having been
awakened and directed toward Africa
as being the largest portion OF the
habitable earth remaining unknown, il
must be pushed forward; fever-breeding
jungles, savage tribes and snow-clad
mountain ranges will not longer stop
the progress of discovery and adventure,
because fame awaits the hardy explorer
and wealth will soon draw the trader
and merchant in his path. The indica.
tions now Enthusiastically point to many
speedy discoveries in and information
concerning interior Africa. What tn,
possibilities of the country may be fol
the future no one can even surmise, bu
land whose people once built the pyra
mids. and left us ruins of cities and tenn
! Piles which are still wonders, and a lanC
that gave birth to one Hannibal, mus
/ still have some "seeds of greatness

The Early Use of Bells.

A newspaper writer gives the follow
ing information about the early use of
bells: 1t is evident that the earliest use
of bells in churches was to summon the
but superstition soon en-
listed them into her service. 1t then
became customary at their conservation
to pray that they might be endowed
with power to drive away fiends and
dissipate thunder storms, hail and
tempests. In the opinion of those who
originated the practice, the evil spirits
were the cause offoul weather. and. be-
ing terrified at the sanity sound of the
bells, they precipitately fled. In parish
accounts Of the fifteenth century bread.
cheese and beer are charged for the re-
freshment of the ringers during 6 thun-
derings." So late as 1852 the Bishop of
Malta ordered all the church bells to be
rung for an hour to allay gale. After
the discovery had been made of the
potency of bells in terrifying spirits.
they were naturally employed in all the
matters in which fiends were reputed to
interfere. 1t was the weapon with which
st. Anthony fought the legion of de-
mons who tormented him during his
long hermitical life, and in the figures
which were drawn of him during the
middle ages he is represented as carry
ing bell in his hand, or rsuspended from
his staff. The passing bell, which was
formerly tolled for those who were dy-
ing or passing out of the world, as we'll
as the peal which was rung after their
death, grew out of the belief that devils
troubled the expiring patient. and lay
in wait to afflict the soul at the moment
when it escaped from the body, and oc-
casionally even to battle for it with
guardian angels.
The Bishop of Chalons christened a
peal of oells in 1892, and in asermon which
he delivered ON the occasion said
"The bells placed like sentinels on the
towers watch over us, and turn away
from us the temptations of the enemy OF
our salvation, as well as storms and
tempests. They speak and pray for us
in our troubles; they inform heaven OF
the necessity of earth" "If this be
true" says a writer, there is more viz.
ture in the clapper of a bell than in the
tongue of priest"
The first actual fire bell was hung in
the church of Sherborne, England, in
1852 II had upon it the following in
scriptiOn:
"Lord, quenoh this furious flame;
Arise, run, help put out the same"

Sarah had read the note aloud at the
eager request of the family; but it had been
hard work for her, and she now burst into
tears and was running off without even
looking at her treasures, when her father
called out, cbeerily:
"Come, Sadie, let's see what the squire's
wife bought for youl / alters thought she
was close woman and guess it's pink

How can you, father" asked Sarah, in
dignantly. But she did dry hei eyes, never
thetess.
There was chorus of "oh's" and
"splendid ~ when a piece OF silvery sum-
mer silk was unrolled.
Enough" said Hattie, "for whole
suit and you deserve it, Sadie; and I'm
real glad of it,"
"That's organdy muslin and very nice"
remarked Jenny, as the muslin came into
view.
The book proved to be pocket edition
of Whittier. She said softly, as she took it
in her hand "That's the best of all, be-
cause l can keep it always"
On the fly leaf was written:

duct. JOHN BREWSTER.
1t was from one she never knew, nor was
ever likely to see; yet it was all the more
delightful to think that, to one person in

Her soul thrilled at the thought.
As she rose to carry away her precious
bundles her father spoke far more gently
than was his wont: a

The percentage of people who are un-
successful, in the worldly sense of the
word, is very large one. Often God
snatches away, by His providence,
through no apparent fault or failure of
theirs, the fruit of mems labors when
it is just dropping, ripened, into their
hands. Other men come into life hope
lessly destitute of the knack " for get
ting ahead at anything. The farmer who
thinks he is making good bargain when
every one else sees that it is bad one !;
the schoolteacher who does not know
how to win the confidence or inspire the
enthusiasm of her pupils; the minister
whose "ways" repel people when he
takes the most pains to win their good
will-such persons are found every
where. They do the best they know
how, but they don't succeed. And since
it is an experience that is divinely as
signed to so many, we must conclude
that the ministry of poverty and defeat
is often better for us than any worldly
success could be. BLESSED are they who
make money or achieve prominence, y
did not find place in the Beatitudes-
does not, in fact, sound much like them.
Good Comp my.
