The Gorilla.


FRANK Maynard, IN Treasure Trove.
The gorilla home is in the densest and
loneliest parts of western Africa, in the
deep valleys, on the rugged heights or on
plateaux covered with massive rocks. AL
though it is such powerful animal and has
large and strong teeth, IL lives entirely on
vegetables, fruit, seeds, nu;s, and banana
leaves. 1t wandeIs about in search of there
things, keeping always near running
stream.
The gorilla does not spend all of its time
in the trees, but rests and sleeps on the
ground leaning against log or tree. The
young ones sleep In the trees for safety and
GO about in groups of six or eight: their sense
of hearing is so acute that it is very difficult
for hunter to get within gunshot. The sound
OF gun initiates a gorilla to such degree
that unless 1T is killed it attacks the hunter
with such violence that both himself and
his weapon are In the greatest danger. The
gorilla uses its arms, feet and teeth for pro-
lection. end single blow from its foot,
which is armed with short curved nails, is
enough to fracture a mans skull.
When gorilla is attacked it utter, q short,
jerking. and sharp bark, like an angry dog;
this is succeeded by a low growing, resem-
bling distant thunder. The echo OF these
roars is so deep. and the growing so strange
and threatening that the brsvest hunters be-
come awed. we'll directed ball. however
dies as easily as man.
The female gorilla is very fond of its young,
and at the approach of danger will not stop
to attack the hunter, butat once runs away
with the young gorillss cIinging around her
neck. Europeans have not the heart to kill
so afectionate mother, but the negroes do
not have this scruple
The appearance of gorilla is peculiar. Its
eyes are deeply buried beneath their arches;
Its avs are large, and its great cutting teeth
are Always exposed to view. The neck is
very short, the forehead fat, the ears small
and on a line with the eyes; the nose is a
mere protuberance. The chest and shoulders
are extremely wide and the immensely long
muscular arms give the creature such
strength that 1t can double up a gun-barrel
like piece of whalebone. Tbs short legs
make one of the characters which mostly dis.
tinguishes this animal from man. The hands
are enormous in proportion. massive. thick
and covered with hair; the foot is like the
hand of q giant.
The Africans have a superstihous fear OF
the gorillss, believing them to be haunted
with the spirits OF their dead chiefs.

THE GOLD COAST.

Perhaps the most important West
African possession of Great Britain is
the gold coast, where she has been
established two centuries. Not many
years ago the Dutch had tho larger part
of these settlements, but they were
finally coded to Great Britain by treaty
in 1872, in return for the rclinquish-
ment Of all British rights in Sumatra.
The avowed object of the British I'D
ministration in this transaction WAS the
creation of n solid basis for trade with
the interior. But these good intentions
were never realized. The trade of this
large stretch of coast-240 miles in
length-avernges under e2O0 900 year
of combined imports and exports. The
colony of Lagos lies to the eastward of
the gold coast, and has lately been in
eluded in the same administration. 1t
has been founded shout twenty-three
years, and is admittedly one of tho best
positions for trade in this part of Africa (;
the land is fertile and well watered and
1t is thickly populated by people noted
for thoir industry and their keenness
for trade There is very fair com.
munication with Mo interior by water
Yet the trade of the place, imports and
exports combined, docs not reach an
average of el, 200. 900 n year The trade
of Lagos before Great Britain annexed
1t was considerable, and it has not since
increased in proportion 10 the tnldc of
other parts lower down the coast, where
the native chiefs were left in possession.
The natives in the neighborhood of
the Gambia River aro ufriendly to
Europeans The people adjoining Sierra
leone arc suspicious and hostile. On
the gold coast oil European trade is
shut out from the interior by tho fear
and suspicion which the administration
has inspired in the people adjoining the
settlement At Lagos tho proceedings
OF tue authorities have apparently not
tended TO diminish the discord between
adjoining tribes. Nowhere does direct
British rule seem To have been of much
benent to the people us u whole, and
certainly nowhere have British trade
prospects been advanced by territorial
power.
What is the cause OF this unsatisfao-
tory result? 1t is not difficult to
explain The administrations pursue,
on the whole, a traditional policy, which
they have inherited from vitiated
sources The old settlements wore
mostly made for unlawfnl purposes T;
they We're slave depots, in fact they
We're therefore, from their very nature,
hostile to the people of the interior /:
they were established rs much for PUN
der rs for trade. On the abolition of
slavery fifty years ago, Great Britain
was left with these settlement but the
policy that ruled them was not entirely
and, radically changed. as it should have
been.

most OF the cases are incurable. What
ever the individual cause may be, the
fact remains that Uric Acid blood sets
the bran on fire, destroys its tissues,
and then comes some form OF fatal Ia
macy.
Nothing is so pitiable as a mind dis

the stomach; then if the blood is flied

kidney action, and the consequent de-

ago was confined in an asylum. He
took terrible cold while aiding in put
ting out fire in neighbors burning
house, and for twenty-five years that
cold was slowly filling lis blood with
uric acid and finally the deadly work
was done. The case looked hopeless
but he happily used Warmers safe cure

ago and having ridden his blood of all
surplus uric acid, he has remained well

1t is indeed terrible thing to lose

thing to suffer such condition when
it can be so easily prevented.

BLACKSMITnS HUMMER SIGN AIS

When the blacksmith gives the anvil
quick, light blows il is n signal to the
helper to use the sledge or to strike
quicker.
The force of the blows givon by the
blacksmiths hammer indicates the force
of blow it is required to give the sledge.
Tho blacksmith helper is supposed
to strike the work III the middle of the
width Of the anvil and when this re
quires to be varied the blacksmith indi-
Gates whore the sledge blows are to fall
by touching the required spot with his
hand-hammer.
Ii the sledge is required TO have O
lateral motion while descending, the
blacksmith indicates the same to the
helper by delivering hand-hammer blows
in which the hand hammer moves in the
direction required for the sledge TO
move
If the blacksmith delivers a heavy
blow upon the work and al intermediates
light blow on the anvil it denotes that
heavy sledge blows arc required
If there are two or more helpers the
blacksmith strikes blow between each
helpers sledge-hammer blow, the object
being to merely denote where the sledge
blows are to fall
When the blacksmith desires the
sledge blows to cease he lets the hand.
hammer head fall upon the anvil and
continues its rebound upon the same
until it ceases.
Thus the movements of the hand
hammer constitutes signals to the helper,
and what appear desultory blows to tho
common observer constitute the method
OF communication between the black
smith and his helper.

"GoING sNooKs TOGETHER"

Young Clarence Chateaubriand Jones
loved pretty Miss Lulu De Smith. who
resided in Harlem with her father.
Clarence met Lulu's brother-in law,
Jake Snooks, and Questioned him about
her and the family.
Snooks said: "Old Deacon De Smith
is geniua He is now running broad.
gauge church. II is simple enough.
He keeps a drug store, and any man
who wants TO become member can pay
his dollar, sign his name in tho book
which lies open on the counter and call
himself broad gauge member a, oncc. u
"Is that sor" asked Clarence.
"Ah, my boy, it is tso true, but it is
glorious, isn't it ?"
"Did you join ," queried Clarence.
"Yes. II made it easy to marry
Lulu's sister The deacon thinks am
a trump"
Clarence dressed in his neatest suit
and started up to Harlem, resolved to
join the broad-gaugc church, and there
by get the deacon's consent to marry
Lulu. The deacon was behind the
counter dealing out chewing gum when
Clarence dropped in. Clarence looked
at the book

the deacon. eying him closely.
Yes"
"Come down with dollar and il
will be done"
The dollar was paid, and Clarence was
invited into tho rear of the drug store.
Two men seized him, and in second
stripped him of his clothes He was
then lugged into the deacon's small
garden and chucked into q little hole
and the loose dirt shoveled over his
body, his face only being out. He
yelled to get out but the attendants
told him he had TO remain an hour.
Finally, the deacon came out.
How do you like broad gauge earth
baths p he asked.
=" Earth baths !" he yelled "Who ia
taking earth bathsS"
"Why, you paid dollar to take
"Who said did2"
say 80. You signed your name in
the book. am glad you have been
converted to broad-gauge earth baths.
The minerals in tho earth will do your
system good"
Il joined your broad-gauge church,
deacon, not this internal punishment :
Your mind is affected / have no
broad-gauge church. l call these earth
baths broad-gauge, because it takes q
man with broad and liberal ideas to
consent to take one"
"Snooks told me it was q broad.gauge
church"
"Snooks is drumming for the new
system, said the deacon.
"Then l want to go Snooks with
you?"
He did.
This is the origin of the term "going
Bnooks together"

ABOUT CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

Says the Electric Hagtzias Prof. Tyn-
dali thus endeavors to explain the
immunity obtained against second
attack Of contagious disease Zone of
the most extraordinary and unacoount-
able experiences in medicine WAS tho
immunity secured by single attack Of
communicable disease against future
attack OF the same malady. Smallpox,
typhoid or scarlatina, for example,, was
found-as general rule to occur only
once in lifetime of the individual,
the successful passage through the
disorder apparently rendering the body
invulnerable Reasoning from analogy,
l have ventured to express the opinion
that the rarity of second attacks of COM
municable disease WAS due to thu
removal from tho system. by the first
parasitic crop, of some ingredient
necessary to the growth and propagation
OF the parasite.

PAGANINIs LAST SMILE.

Paganini nfter his eventful career, st
full OF triu,nphs and unparalleled sue
cesses In certain directions, was soc
victim to melancholy in his later years
This was induced by i'll health, by his
trouble in the law courts, and was no,
the unexpected result OF s,tch life, full
of mystery, intriguos and dissipatiops
He had moved the world with his violin,
had seen Rossini burst into tears on
just hearing him; courts had showered
honors upon him, beautiful ladies ol
the highest rank had thrown themselves
at his feet. Yet in the last year of his
life he is said to have smiled but once,
and that at musical concert This
was on the occasion OF a grand musicale
given by Zimmerman in Paris There
were present Hertz Chopin, Thalber9,
Frank Liszt, and the Chevalier Antoine
de Kontski. Each in turn played, and
though Paganini was interested, his
face always wore the same melancholy,
mournful look. Suddenly lie asked
Kontski to play his "Valse Internal

lived less than year after, and his last
smile, the Inst rny Of sunshine which
came from within and played over his
face, was never forgotten by those
present.
