An African Utopia.

German explorers have thrown so
much light on the immense tract of
country situated between 18 and 20o
east of Greenwich and Q to SO south
latitude to the south Of the great bend of
the Congo, that it may interest your
readers to hear short account of what
has been done by them. If you take the
western half of Stanley's Map of Equa-
torial Africa to hand, you will perceive
four large tributaries of the Congo dotted
-down-the mouths Of which Stanley dis
covered-and a reported large lake,
probably Lake Lincoln of Livingstone"
10 the west Of which .'vicious and most
murderous dwarfs'' named Watwa are
supposed to exist Now, il Pogge and
Wissmann had done nothing but confirm
the existence Of these pigmies, whom
they call Batua, and reduce the Lake
Mukamba 70 very modest proportions,
besides placing it farther to the south
east, under 5 . 45m. 25s. south latitude,
they would merit praise. But we owe
the existence of q Utopia where stran-
gers are gratuitously supplied with food.
and they reveal that the Bassonge, sub
iects of King Katshish. strong and
handsome race in a densely populated
country teeming with natural produce,

manship of various kinds in wood, clay,
copper and iron, weaving stuffs out of
the mabele plant and showing skill in
basket-making. Wissmann declares that
no foreign influence has ever touched
them.
The Utopia has received the honorary
epithet of Lubuku, 1. e. Friendship"
but its real name is Casselange; its in
habitants are called Tusselange. and
their principal chief, Mukenge, resides
not far from the confluence of the Lulua
and the Kassal. Pogge tells us that the
inhabitants of one village, or sometimes
of several villages, can be looked upon
as family, for each inhabitant is treated
by the rest rs a relative, and one member

thence In safety. The discovery of the
amiable tribe of Tusselange, and of the
accomplished Bassonge, took place in
the following manner: "The Afrika-
nische Gesellschaft' had charged DIR.
Paul Pogge and Lieutenant Wissmann to
establish q station at Mussumba (8o
Pam. los. S. L.,) the capital of the king
dom of Lunda, over which one of the
strangest among swarthy potentates, the
mighty Myata Yauvo, ,reigns. Both Pogge,
in 1876, and DR.. Max Buchner, in 1879
to 1880. had found it impossible, though
they otherwise met with very kind treat
ment, to penetrate the east, north, or
south of Mwata Yanvo's dominions.

that the European travellers could have

How Florists Bills Are Collected.

A delicate part of the florists business,
recurring Judgment and tact, is the col
lection OF his bills. 1t might be sup
posed that as flowers are not necessities
of life in any sense of the word, they
would be bought only by persons fully
able to pay for them, but, according to
the testimony of the leading florists, this
is far from being the case, and some Of
the devices resorted TO in exacting pay
ment must be peculiarly unpleasant to
all parties concerned. For instance, il
may be supposed that tits only as the
last hope Of ever getting payment out Of
Young A, who has been sending Miss
B. twenty-dollar bouquets twice a week
all winter. that the florist sends the un-
paid bill to the latter. This is an ex-
treme measure, to be sure, and the threat
of such proceeding usually brings the
debtor to terms. As the florist sends
home the flowers he sells, he knows who
receives them, if he does not always
know who is to pay for them. There
are. of course, some bad debts which can
not be recovered, no matter how many
bills are sent to the father. mother,
guardians, brothers and sisters, and,
finally, beneiciaries of the young man
who buys flowers that he can not
pay for and never expects to pay
for. A professional collector is then
employed to make the young mans
life a burden to him, and, in the long
run, the debt is usually collected. Tradi-
ton records that a few years ago flor
ist. wishing to collect a bill which had
been presented once a month for more
than a year, and yetunwilling to threaten
his delinquent customer too directly, in
serted the following card in the news
papers: "f Mr.. x, florist, does not re-
ceive payment for certain bills before the
first Of next month. he will find it neces-
sary to send them to the persons who
have received the flowers" To his
amazement checks came in by the dozen,
and from persons for whom the shafts
had not been intended. No florist with
a custom to lose will admit that he has
ever dreamed of using such means of
fastening collections, but every florist
knows of some other florist who is sup
posed to be guilty of the questionable
practice.
OF course it will not do for a florist to
get the reputation of resorting to un-
pleasant measures in collecting bills, and
it is understood to be a mooted point
among florists of a disputatious turn of
mind whether or not it is proper in any
case to send a bill for flowers to the young
woman who had not ordered them, but
had received and enjoyed them. The
code of ethics peculiar to the business
has not settled this point as yet, and it is
probable, so long as the persons who go
beyo. their means in buying flowers
are young men of good family who,
when hard put to it, can beg or borrow
the sum needed, that such measures will
now and then be heard ON y
Evening Post.

Monday evening our attention was
attracted to two or three chimneys
burning out In one instance the
threatened danger was in the midst
Of number of large frame buildings
in the center of the city, where, had
II fire started, nothing could have
prevented big slice Of the city from
being wiped out. While no alarm
was created, in fact only one or two
persons noticed the fire, yet the
danger was none the less eminent.
1t would be well il our people eXer-
cised some care about theirpremises.
We never saw n community where
so little interest is taken in sclf-prO-
lection against an insidious element.
an irresistible, Unsuitable monster
that is bound to force its undesirable
presence upon town, no matter how
small or well guarded, sooner or later.
People seem to be perfectly indif-
ferentISn this one subject. Not that
they have not had experience enough
already. On the contrary, on at least
two occasions, they have been COM
PEELED to stand idly by and see prop
erty go up in smoke before their eyes
without the power or means to avert
the spread Of the flames, or save the
buildings in which the fire originated.
There Is not city on the coast so
utterly unprotected. The only thing
with the semblance Of a fire depart
ment are few ladders There is no
organization whatever. Few people
even know where the ladders are
stored, and even If they did, what
use under heaven is a ladder without
an engine, without a bucket, and
utterly without water. II is pretty
well assured. that Spokane will have
water works some time next summer,
but in the meantime what is to he
done for protection. Many valuable
buildings have been added to the city
this year, and should some of these
blocks ,be destroyed merely because
there Is no measure in existence to
fight fire, the loss to the city would
be inCalculable. II we cannot have
an engine and the necessary para
phernalia ut least let the citizens 60 to
work, organize company and estab-
lish II bucket brigade. Then let every
man know just what he Is expected
to do in case Of fire, and with this
excuse fora departmentperhaps some
good can be accomplished in an en-
ergency, which is out OF the bounds
ofpossibility solongas there remains
no order, no head, no organization.
Let this matter be attended to before
tits too late. Property owners are
the ones mostly interested, and they
should make All effort to create some
kind of fire department, and now is
the time it is needed, not after fiery
