How stanley Was Beaten,


The French Geographical Society will shortly
feasting Stanley-it is going to dine the French
man who has stolen a march upon him. When
Stanley was last heard of, it will be remembered,
he was leading the grand expedition. fitted out
by Belgian company to the navigable part of
the Congo. He had found that the Congo was
the great waterway of Africa. though. unfortu-
nately, owing to the cataractS near its embou-
chure, it was not directly accessible from the
coast. 1t became nayigable only at Stanley
Pool; but once there traders on the broad river
could reach one of the richest regions in the
world. How to get to Stanley Pool? Stanley
could think of no better way than to cut road
of about $50 kilOmeters from the coast parallel
with the cataracts. NJ Sayergnan de Brazza the
Frenchmanin question: thought of & much better
way. 1t occurred to him that from the French
station at Gaboon lie might lind some afiluent
OF the Congo floating directly into the pool He
did find such river. he Alma. which is sena-
rated from the 0goone only by so kilOmeters Of
lana, and the Ogoone is in direct communica-
ton with the FrenchpOssesson. 1t was ques-
ton, therefore. OF a land journey of so kilo-
meters as against land Journey Of $40 or a say
ing of two-thirds. He said nothing. but stole
quietly back to France. obtained the necessary
funds from his government. went back again
and reached Stanley Pool by the short cut in
time to welcome Stanley on his arrival He had
taken possession Oh it in the name of France,
made treaties with the natives and dealt out
French tricOlOrs to them for the decoration OF
their persons and property as lavishly as if they
had Gcen mere orders Of the Legion of Honor.
He ought to be dined and to be dined well: he
has given France the Gibraltar of q kind of in

Throat Trinnminxy,


From Harper's Bazaar.
Ladies are sometimes sorely puzzled a. to
what would look best around their threats with
morning dress, Plain collars have rather a stiff
appearance; tulle or lisse Fittings rumple imme-
diately, and are unsatisfactory as well as ex-
pensive. 1t is good plan to purchase few
yards of really good washing lace about an inch
and a half In depth; few minutes will quill or
pleat it; it can then be cut into suitable lengths
and tackled around the necks of dresses, being
easily removed and renovated when soiled. 4
piece of soft black Spanish lace. folded loosely
around the throat, closeto the frilling but below
it looks very well, especially if natural or good
artificial flower be worn amongst the folds.
There is also another effective arrangement
which can be adopted. thus: Buy three yards of
scarf lace-a good kind. of course-trim the ends
with quilings to match. place 1t around your
neck, leaving nearly all the length in your right
hand. the end lying upon the left shoulder being
about half yard long. Wind the longer piece
twice round the throat in loose soft folds, and
as you will still have yard and half or more
to spare, festoOn 1t gracefully in front with the
aid Of few concealed pins, and fasten brooch
or flower at the side

of rabbits presented nothing abnormal while

scruple, patient to wait, skillful to feign

relenting. But should sportsmen be
very severe ON the creature that evident
ly enjoys with gusto as keen as their
own the pursuit of the hapless prey
which it hunts and toys with, often as
much for diversion as for hunger? One
hopes, for the sake of the sportive birds
and sportive mice, which it fascinates
with basilisk eyes and captures with
cruel paw, that there may be some oc-
cult provision of nature to disarm their
fate of its terrors. But appearances
are against this theory. In early youth
cat nature appears at its best. Once
having emerged from the pulling, sight
less stage of its first nine days the kitten
becomes winsome and attractive crea-
ture. ''Catlike' is a reproachful epithet
aptly applied to women of the Becky
Sharp type; but it is not considered de-
rogatory to the most fascinating girl to
be credited with kittcnlike ways-for the
kitten is an embodiment Of playfulness
and grace. The cruel instincts of its
tribe are not, however, slow to assert
themselves, and il is comical to hear
the mimic growl of puny thunder with
which the tiny creature gloats over its
first mouse. Rats cannot battle it, noise

Senator SaWYer's Daughters.

Senator Sawyer, who is one of the
very rich men in congress, is evidently

tiers grew up he called them to him for
solemn conversation one day, and
said impressively:
my children, you know that am q
rich man now, but you also know that
riches are apt to take wings to them
selves and fly away, so I would feel
much happier about your future if felt
certain that you could take care of your
selves if should lose my money and
be unable to provide for you. Now, to
please me-" he added persuasively,
''won't you learn to make your own
clothes and to cook a good dinnerP"
Certainly" replied the girls with
cheerful promptness, and each sealed
the bargain with kiss to her father.
Not long afterward they invited both
their parents and few intimate friends
to dine with them on certain even
ing, and after the repast had been en-
joyed and praised by all present tri-
umphantly announced that they cooked
the dinner themselves, unaided, and each
had made the pretty dress they wore on
the occasion. Their father, highly graft

Bricks That arc Magnetic.

1t was lately observed by Herr KEEP
ner, at Salzburg, in the Tyrol, that some
old bricks had an attractive or repcllant
force on q compass. From each Of eight
varieties of clay in the neighborhood two
bricks were nodded, and one Of the two
in each case was baked. The unbaked
brick had no action on a magnetic
needle, but seven of the eight baked
bricks proved polarly magnetic. Some
further experiments have been made by
Herren Kell and Trientl. Particles Of
powder of the magnetic bricks adhered
to steel magnet. Breunerite, mica
slate, argillaceous mica-slate, argillace-
GUS iron garnet, chlorite and horn
blende were, before heating, unmagnetic,
but intense heating produced magnet
ic polarity, the axis Of which seemed to
be perpendicular to the plane of stratifi-
cation. The magnetism of newly heat
ed rocks seems to fall off somewhat in
course of time, but some Stag of the Orr
thai, perhaps thousands Of years old,
was found to be still magnetic.
