AFRICA.
Low Wages the.R Rule on the Dark Cont
mountaineering Facts.

Low Wages the.Ru on the Dark Cont
mountaineering Facts.
The following is picture of life in
Africa as portrayed by Consul Peter
Strickland, of Senegal: Drunkenness
to greater or lesser extent seems to
be the general condition of the vast
majority of the trades and other people
of Senegal who are not Mohammedans-
1t is my deliberate conviction that it
costs the native trades-prople in Sene-
gambia more for rum than it does for
food. and what makes it very annoying
for their employers is the fact that
their services can not be depended on
so long as they have the means in
hand to buy rum. House servants are
as bad as the rest, and unless Euro
pean families are lucky enough to Sc
cure Mohammedans for their cooks.
they can never know when a fast
will be intruded upon them. The
women in the matter of drink
ing, are. if anything, worse than
the men, and if employed for waters
are sure to smash all the crockery
within their reach in an incredibly
short space of time. 1t is custom
among them also to form themselves
into drinking clubs of a dozen or so
each. and whenever their accumulated
means are sufficien. to purchase three
or four gallons of liquor, they will,
after excusing themselves from work
on some frivolous pretext, meet at a
house selected for the purpose and in
dulge in orgies too terrible to be de-
scribed 1t is sometimes a week be-
fore they recover from these debauches,
and the interests of those who are
obliged to employ them suffer accord
ingly.
added to the annoyance from their
drinking habits. is also the fact that
most of these incorporate women are
of such easy virtue that their husbands
seldom trust them, but leave them for
others on the slightest pretext. The
women also change partners as often
as chance follows occasion. so that So
ciety, as we recognize the term,
scarcely has an existence. It is one
of the most common of things among
the so-called Christian natives of Sene-
gambia, to see children, brothers and
sisters, through their mother but all
having different fathers, thus COM
pletely reversing the Mormon custom.
where children are often brothers and
sisters through their father but not
through their mothers. Scores of chill
dren also die through neglect. ex-
posure. and diseases, for which the
drunken habits of their mothers are
directly responsible. 1t does seem as
though our Government must be culpa-
BILE in granting drawbacks on rum and
alcohol, which are exported by the
ship-load, to debauch and destroy the
unrefiect ng inhabitants of uncivilized
countries. 1t is my deliberate opinion
that rum in Africa is at present doing
as much mischief as the slave trade
ever did, and that it is a shame for
civilized country like the United States
to aid any of its merchants in exter
minating these northern Zulus of AT
rica." -Comsukar Report.

Then she lost control of herself.

load after boat load from one bank OF
the Ganges to the other. But the
monkeys pretended to misunderstood
the arrangement. They affected to
think the trip a mere outing-a days
picnic So, though they allowed them
selves to be taken over in the morning
with the utmost complacency. they al
ways insisted on being brought back
again in the evening. Boats ply in
large numbers upon the river. and,
without asking for permission or offer
ing to pay any thing, they used oship
themselves as passengers and return to
sleep in the city.
On another occasion, certain lands
short distance off were specially SET
apart by the princely Rajah for then
maintenance, and an immense number
of the animals were respectfully con.
Quoted to their new quarters and in.
vited to settle there. But no; the
monkeys found there were no sweet
meat stalls in the fields. no cake-shops
in the graves, and they courteously.
yet firmly, declined the Raiah's prof
fered hospitality. and came strolling
back into the city at their leisure.
They had tasted the pleasures of
rural life, and deliberately arrived at
IiiS that liicS IuooC
| of the town; so they gave up the corn
fields and the mango trees for the cool
courts of the many-templed city, and
the bazaars where lollipops were al
ways to be had for the stealing. The
present effort. however. this of deport-
ing by train to such distance as Sa-
harunpore such large number as TO-
| 600, is by far the most serious that has
been made, and if the four-handed
| ones submit to be deported this time,
they must make up their minds for per-
manent exile. Railway companies
have no approximations about Hanu-
man; they do not worship monkeys.
Thus, unless the animals are prepared
| to pay their own return fare, and to
| travel back in respectable and honest
manner, they will have to bid farewell
to the beautiful old city where they
spent such happy years, and where
! their bones will now have no chance OF
sacredly reposing after death. There
is no chance of their ever finding theiI
way back.-Loaado-s Telegraph.

Penjdeh.

The now famous Penjdeh is inhabited
by sd1ne $500 families of Sariks, who
are not subject to any great head
chief, but are mostly ruled by various
influential headmen- A good many
Jews live among them, and are the
principal shop-keepers. while they
have no other slaves than few cap
tured years ago as children and wom-
en-, now settling down as wives. The
Sariks, the Calcutta Enqtishman says.
are most prosperous. and possess over
half million sheep and 10000 camels.
Their kibitkas are very comfortable
and are hung with rich carpets. tho
manufacture being their Oh eff indus
try. The women go about freely. un-
yelled. and the children-very English
looking-are full of spirits. One Of
the officers of the Mission used fire.
quently to scatter small coin among
the children. for which they scrambled
in true English form, while the, elders
looked on and enjoyed the fun. The
dogs belonging to the Mission-espe-
cially the bulldogs or fox terriers
excited roars of laughter among tho
natives. as they formed such q con.
trast to the gigantic long-haired beasts
belonging to the Sariks.-N. Y. Posi-.

A BIT OF ADVICE.

Imagination Not to be logged by Indis-
terminate Cramming.
The following is from an unhappy
youth: Il am young man, lately from
the country, and when do get into
company have no jest or story to tell
when it comes my turn to do SO, and it
makes me feel bad. Please give me
the name of some nice story book and
the place of sale"
Raconteurs, this young man needs to
be informed. are not in every company,
and, like poets. are born. not made:
The art of story telling. like the art of
blended. is rare gift, and. as your
beating. so dull Imagination can not
be efficiently logged by a examining,
though jest books be as plenty as
blackberries. Let the young man take
heart of grace and use such powers of
observation as he may possess, and
from the stores thus gathered con-
tribute his share to conversation,
which he will find is composed for the
most part of commonplace. Small
talk, usually very small talk, is the
universal currency of social life. The
young man discloses laudable desire
to render himself agreeable. He may
become entertaining and instructive if
he will abandon the, pernicious idea
of retailing those ancient With
cisms which the pertness of the
time has dubbed chestnuts, and from
his own experience of country life,
in the field following the furrow, at the
mill with or st, at seed time or harvest,
whipping the stream for trout or track
ing rabbits in the snow, studying the
habits of birds in the hedge rows or
classifying the trees in the woods, tell
in simple language little story which
will have for its urban hearers the
freshness of new mown hay. 1t is not
