The Sea of GaIilee.

One of the first things for which I
looked here was the fishing industry;
but l found it not. There is evidently
only one sailing vessel on the lake, and
but very small handful of clumsy row.
boats. When one of these boats gets
out of order there is general consterna-
ton, it is said, for the art of shipbuild-
ing is no longer known here. When
we sent our servant to-day with instruc-
tons to procure Galilee fish for dinner
he was unable to find single fish in
the market. This is especially strange,
inasmuch as / have had positive evil
dence that the waters swarm with pis-
catorial life to-day, just as in the DAYS
when Christ called Galllean fishermen
to his discipleship.
Yet fishing is still carried on here on
a small scale. Even last night saw a
boat push out to sea with nets aboard,
just as Simon did no doubt. when he
was bound to toll all night at the
same business.
This leads me to guess or, at least, to
hope. that the citizens were not quite
so lazy and worthless in the days of the
Son of Man. They could not have
been any worse. The modern Galilean
would ride two-thirds the way around
the lake on the ragged back of donkey
or camel rather than display the enter
prise required to effect a crossing in
one-sixth the time by boat. Stupidity
and cupidity are everywhere linked in
a way that sorely tries Occidental
patience NJ o. IInaes-DensocrGt.

MIRIAM 30.
Death of the Man Whom Stanley Called
the Napoleon of Africa.

Death OF the Man Whom STANLEY CaltOu
the Napoleon of Africa.
A dispatch from Zanzibar the other
day announced the death of Mrambo,
whom Stanley called the Napoleon OF
Africa. Mirambo has for fifteen years
been the terror of East Africa, and ex-
plorers used to bring home startling
stories about the robber chief. He
proved, however, to be one of the best
friends of the whites among African
potentates, and all the later explorers
speak well of him.
Mirambo was the chief of a little dis
trict in Unyamwezi, about 100 miles
east of Lake Tanganyika. He treated
the Arabs who had settled near him
with great friendliness, and often gave
fifty cattle at time as present to
ANYBODY whom he esteemed. One of
the traders took advantage of his good
nature to obtain a large quantity of
ivory on credit. He then laughed at
Miranda for trusting him, and refused
payment, and the Arabs at Unyenyembe
turned their backs on Miranda when
he asked for justice. They have rued
the day ever since they made him an
enemy He never forgave the wrong.
He beat them repeatedly in
battle, and finally filled them
with such abject terror that they
have more than once simply bar
ricaded themselves in their houses when
he entered Unyenyembe, and let him
drive off their cattle without offering
any resistance. For years he was con-
stantly on the move, extending his do
minion and bringing destruction
upon all tribes that did not submit.
He became the most feared and most
powerful chief between the Indian
Ocean and Tanganyika. African
mothers east of that lake and south
of Myassa have long used the name
Miranda as bugaboo to subdue re-
fractory children.
| White travellers and missionaries
found another side to Miranda s
character. They discovered that he
faithfully kept his promises, and that
when he spoke he meant exactly what
he'said. He treated one and all kindly.
A tlourishing mission station is in his
chief town. Stores of all sorts left in
| Mrambo's charge have been carefully
kept from damage or thieves to
await the call of the owner. The cara
vans from the coast that supply the
Tanganyika Mission Stations now
avoid the old route through the Arab
settlements, and pass through Miriam
! bo's country. A few white men and
| the devoted followers who helped him
| extend his power will mourn his de-
parture The rest of East Africa is
! probably very glad he is dead.-N. \.

ANIMAL FIGHTING IN CHINA,

PugiIistfc Turtles, Ferocfous Rodents,
wiIIowy Wildcats, and the Bellicose
Quail.
Though the denizens of the Celestial
empire prohibit all entertainments in
which human beings may be injured,
they have no objections to fights in
which the participants are animals.
Religious persons. especially strict
Buddhists, who believe in the transmi-
grafton of souls, are strong opponents
of these sports, but the young men in
China patronize them extensively. In
every great city, such as Canton, Foo
Chow, Peking and Keeling, there are
hundreds of sporting men who make
their livelihood from these events.
Fighting turtles are of two classes,
either the mud or swapping turtles.
They are caught and regularly trained.
They are fed with raw meat and drug
that corresponds with the ''loco" OF
Texas. In six months the turtle be-
comes savage and ugly, and will fight
and bite on the least provocation. To
