Keeping Kingly Corpse Three Months
Tor Burial.
The department Of state has received an
interesting report from United States Consul
Du Verge, at st. Paul de Loando west coast of
Africa, in regard to the trade Of that country
and the barbarous customs of the natives Of
Doudo, In the province of Angola. The fol-
lowing is an extract from the report When
dead the common negro is buried anywhere,
maybe few yards from the door of his
cabuta, or in the middle of the road Sobas
or native chiefs, are inferred with more cere-
mony. For three months the corpse is kept
above the ground, sitting in chair and daily
enveloped in new pieces of cloth, which are
stolen during the night by his former sub
jects. After this lapse of time he is deposited
in his grave, two grown-up slaves being de-
captated aud their bodies being Inferred
with him, as we'll as boy and girl, both
alive, the former holding the soba's pipe and
the latter o vessel with water. Although L
have never been an eye witness Of this bar
barsm, and though it is officially contra
dicted, firmly believe that it is still prac-
ticed, and would have gone with my informant
to one of these burials If / had been well aud
had time to spare.

amount of deadly vegetable poison; if he

retains it he is guilty of the crime imputed to

When soba dies his successor is not al
lowed to continue tho works which the de-
ceased may have begun or to inhabit his resi-
dence. nor does he inherit his furniture, plate,
or anything; on the contrary, whatever i'm
| movable goods houses &C., belong to the
deceased are allowed to fall into ruin, while
oil movable goods are stolen by his subjects
Immediately after death. For whole year
the spirit of the deceased is supposed to reign,
his successor having no power whatever; the
whole kingdom or tribe remains therefore, in
a state Of anarchy. This custom impedes, to
great extent, the prosperity of the native
tribes, as whatever one chief may have done
for his people his successor is obliged to ami

SPIRITUAL WARFARE.

Weapons OF Combat.

Weapons OF Combat.
Rev. E. d. Huntley, pastor of the Metro
politan NJ. L. church, addressed gathering
of Sunday school workers in the Young Mems
Christian associations parlors last evening,
his subject being,i iThe Sunday School Teacher
and His Weapons" Said he: The chief weapon
of the Sunday school teacher is the word OF
God-"the sword of the spirit" 1t depends
much ON how it is handled whether it accom-
plshes its purpose. A careless handling does
harm to the user. It must be used vigorously
not in half apo.ogetic way. There is too
much science in the pulpit, instead of the
lofty and searching truths of the Bible. What
men want 10 to be guided into the way of
the truth and holiness; to be taught how to
live their lives nobly And so with the Sun
day school scholar; they must be taught as
though their lives amounted to something.
teacher must not act as it his scholars were
ciphers and he the only unit in the class. To
help unfold their young lives is indeed q
grand work-a work to which should be de-
voted prayerful spirit and an elevating ex-
annie.

Words Of Wisdom.

In life we always believe that we are
seeking repOse, while really all we ever
seek is agitation.-Pascal.
There is more folly involved i'm sus-
pecting every one than in trusting ev-
cry one.-Rey. S. p. Heron.
He that will believe only what he
can fully comprehend must have very
long head or very short creed.-COltOn.
What folly to dread the thought of
throwing away life at once, and yet have
no dread of throwing it away by parcels
or piecemeal.-JOhn Howe.
A bad man is like an earthen vessel
easy to break and hard to mend. A
good man is like golden vessel-hard
to break and easy to mend.-From the
Hindoo.
AS the sun does not wait for prayers
and incantatiOns before he rises, but
straightway shines forth, and is hailed
of all, so do not wait to do good for ap-
plause and praise, but do it of your own
desire, and like the sun, you will be
loved.
l feel convinced that every man has
given him of God much more than he
has an idea of, and that he can help on
the worlds work more than he knows
of. What We want is the single eye that
we may see what our work is, the hui
mility to accept it, however lowly, the
faith to do it for God, the perseverance
To go on tilldeath.-Norman Mcleod.

An Outfit for a Boy.
st. Paul Pioneer Press. /

A great return for a small investment
is realized by purchasing small solder
ering outfit for boy. He becomes at
once useful member of the family; old
basins and pans become as new after the
transforming touch of his soldering
iron, and there are great possibilities in
tin cans, and small pieces of tin; sugar.
sifters and tunnels are among them. /
am convinced that lack of interesting
occupations is'the prolific source ofmost
bad habits that an idle boy acquires;
that the parents feel this, and many are
likely to fall into the error of providing
too many finished playthings for them.
1t seems that the aim should be to give
them tools with which they may exer-
else the imagination, and with which
they may construct articles that do not
yet exist.

How to Make Cows Give milk

A writer in the Southern Fdpmersays
that his cow gives all the milk that is
wanted in family of eight, and that
from it, after taking all that is required
for other purposes, two hundred and
sixty pounds of butter were made this
year. This is in part his treatment of
the cow. If you desire to get large
quantity of rich milk give your cows ev-
cry day water warmed and slightly
salted, in which bran has been stirred at
the rate of one quart to two gallons of
water. You will find, if you have not
tried this daily practice, that your cow
will give twenty-five per cent. more
milk Immediately under the effect of it,
and she will become so attached to the
diet as to refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty. But this mess she
will drink almost any time and ask for
more. The amount of this drink nec-
'essary is an ordinary water pail at a
time morning, noon, and night.
