THE WHITE AFRICANS.
Explorer Stanley's Emphatic Repetition of
Much Questioned Statement.

Explorer Stanley's Emphatic Repetition of
Much-Questioned Statement.
Justat this point improved the good
chance of getting some information
from Stanley about the mysterious
@swhite Africans who are said to exist
in the interior of the continent. Hav-
ing just written a novel about them /
was naturally anxious-now that it was
just too late for any corrections-to
find out exactly how many mistakes |
had made. 1T was in Mtesa's country
that You met those white Africans from
Gambaragara. wasn't it?'' inquired |.
do you really think there are whole
nation of them in the interior as some
people say?'' s.Indeed do. Mtesa's
officers told me that there were great
numbers of them settled upon the slopes
of Mt. Gordon Bennett Ghat big ex-
tinct volcano, you know, to the north
east of the great lakes), and that they
were a timid, unwarlike set, more
given to skulking among the rocks
than coming out for fair fight
in the open. The four that /
saw in Urganda were tall. slen-
der, long-limbed fellows, with brown
curly hair, rather prominent noses,
lips somewhat full and thick (though
not all of the African type), and COM
plexions not bit darker than mufatto
in our Southern States And do you
really think they're a pure-blooded
African race? Mightn't they be de-
.scended from the first Portuguese colo
lnists. who settled on the East African
coast in the days of Vasco da CANA
and Albuquerque" mo, | shouldn't
think that very likely. What would
the Portuguese be doing therep {
don t fancy they ever got as far inland
as that. It's much more probable that
they're a tribe of light colored Eth
opians, or perhaps of Copts, driven
down from the north by conquest. Be-
ing, as the Waganda told me, an un-
warlike and timid race, they would
naturally keep themselves secluded in
these mountain Businesses of theirs,
avoiding all contact with the fercer
tribes around them. s.And in that
way suggested |, ''they would pre-
serve their light complexion unmixed.'
4.Just so; and as tell you they were no
darker than light mulatto-some Of
them perhaps not quite so dark
..And their women were very hand
some, were they not?' ''They were in
deed-handsomer than any that | saw
elsewhere in Africa, although some of
the Urganda women were very good
looking, too. One of my chief cap
tains was married to woman from
Urganda, who went all the way down
the Congo with our expedition. "--Dovsd

MODERN SCIENCE.
Its Discoveries in Regard to Mans Senses
and Constitution.

gts Discoveries in Regard to Mans Senses
and Constitution.
The experiments which have been
and are being made in Germany and
in this country on the FIVE senses show
that there is no especial apparatus for
each in the human system. 1t has
been proven that touch, for example,
is not function of the skin solely, as
heretofore believed, but is an organiza-
zion which works out its wonderful
results through distinctly created ma
ohinery. This machinery registers
she minutest pressure and the slightest
alteration in temperature. Scientists
demonstrate that there are distributed
spots on the skin which are cold and
hot, and that there are places interme-
date between these OSCILLATIONS which
are insensible both to pain and to cold.
These epidermal spots are unequally
distributed over varieties OF human
bodies, but are to be found in such size
and localities as are best adapted to
the wants of an individuals and further,
that they peculiarly differ in their dis
tribution on the body Of the same per-
son. 1t is stated, too. that the places
intermediate between the cold and heat
spots may be pierced with sharp in
strument without producing pain. All
feeling. of course, proceeds from the
brain. the apparatus of touch being but
a register in given localities of the
human organism. A gentle pressure
on the hidden springs of the machinery
is at once telegraphed to the brain, and
the answer is sensation pleasurable or
painful. Another discovery has been
made, and it is that the whole Of the
esophagus is alive to temperature, thus
evincing that the apparatus of touch is
made sensitive even there by the at
mospheric pressure. In fact. if the
hidden organs could be reached. it
variously operates upon them. 1t is no
longer conjectured that the entire
surface of the body breathes, and
German scientists go so far as to
SAY that in the experiments touch
ing the five senses they ''indicate
the external covering of the human
body as the primeval and reliable source
Of knowledge Of the external world
and justify the belief that further re-
searches may ''shed more light on
some of the fundamental problems of
pscychical action and unfolding. That
is going too far in the reputation of
the primary motor, mind. Neyerthe-
less. the onward stride Of science is
developing something wholly new in
regard to that .'fearflilly and wonder
fully made" being. man, and the GU
rious part of it is that man himself is
becoming gradually but surely to attain
a knowledge of himself! Discoveries
as to touci. and temperature are the
most recent of wonders, and the TWEEN
tieth part Of the mysteries Of each have
not yet been developed.-N z Ner-

Living in a Coffin.
From the Baltimore SUM-

IRON the Baltimore SUN
The coffin which created such SEN
sation in Northwest Baltimore some
nights since that Capt. Earhart took
it in custody has been converted into
living apartments at the northwestern
police station. On the night of its
discovery in the yard of the empty
house, and before it was taken to the
station, some of the crowd broke the
circle OF glass over the upper part OF
the coffin IN order to get at the corpse
supposed to be inside. By means of
this opening the dogs kept in the sta
ton yard were able to convert the re-
ceptacle for the dead into a house for
the living, and they all piled IN, finding
its satin-lined sides most comfortable.
One Of the biggest and best men on
the force, however, got a severe shock
in consequence of this occupancy OF
the coffin. He went out into the yard
in hurry to see about hooking up
one OF the horses. AS he passed the
coffin a great rustling within it at
tracted his attention, and he
saw what he thought was the
top OF mans head appear
through the broken glass, though in
reality il was the head of a frisky dog
which wished to greet him. The horse
to be hooked up was forgotten, and
the officer left the yard at rate OF
speed that is said never to have been
equaled on the force He has seen
service in distant parts ofthe country
on the Pacific slope and elsewhere
and has encountered many dangers
but that coffin got him badly.

Suits for Damages.

One OF the heaviest newspaper advertisers
in this country is the Brown Chemical
Company, OF Baltimore, Nd. Durisg the
first five years in which they have been in
business they have invested In the Ieigh-
borhood OF 81 100000 in the use OF print
ers' ink. In consequence OF this large out
lay, the name OF Browns Iron Bitters is
familiar to the English-reading public all
over the world and the sale of their goods
has been in proportion to their enterprise.
Like all goods whose merits deserve conf
dence, these bitters have been initiated by
INSCRIPTIONS parties DESTROYS OF proftinS
by the labor OF others, and various
concoctions have been placed upon
the market under titles bearing close
resemblance to that of the above standard
remedy of the Brown Company. These
frauds have been practiced so extensively
that the proprietors Of Browns Iron Bit
tiers, finding the perpetrat tors can be reached
in no other way, have begun suits for
damages against Frederick Stearns & Co.,
Detroit, Mich, who are known as the Nom
Secret Medicine Manufacturers. for selling
Iron Tonic Bitters; against Meyer Bros. &
Co., st. Louis, wholesale druggists, for SELL
ing Browns Iron Tonic. prepared by c. j..
Lincoln, Little Rock, Ark, and sgainst as.
A. Dickinson, druggist in Baltimore, for
selling Iron Tonic Bitters with his name
upon the label, which medicine was made
by koshland, Hollander & Co., OF that
city, and also claimed as an imitation.
The public will be glad to see imitators Of
what has come to be known as standard
proprietary medicine properly punished
for their efforts to create wealth FOR them
selves from the labor and enterprise Of
OF hers.

A Wonderful Pianist.

Won Bulow, who is probably the
head of living pianists, was under con-
tract to give a series OF concerts in st.
Petersburg this winter. He has many
remarkable traits, but the most re-
markable is his memory. No man
living can approach him, probably,
in the power OF carrying an orchestral
or piano score in his head. At a re-
cent series OF piano recitals in Lon
don, he played the whole of Beetho-
ven's thirty-three sOnatas, five or six
each night; and he played them all
from memory. And when he conduct.

recting the entire delivery of that
most voluminous and intricate com.
position, he did it without scrap o.

Mr.. Hoxie's History,

from the Philadelphia TImes.l
II. NJ. Hoxie, whose name has APP
peared in newspapers so prominently
during the last few days as the man.
ager OF Jay Gould's Western interest,
as the first vice-president of the Wa
bash system, has had an interesting
career. He was q poor boy in Polk
County, Ia, at a time when lmmlgra-
ton was pouring into that state.
gentleman by the name OF Mitchell,
who kept 81 country hotel about ten
miles from Des Moines, became inter
ested in the boy, who soon showed
himself bright, active and intelligent.
He became the hostler Of this estab-
lishment, and as such was thrown in
to close contact with the many hun
dreds OF people who stopped at
"Mitchell's Tavern" on their Western
way. About the beginning OF the war
the boy thus trained had grown to
manhood, and by the assistance OF
his employer had entered local poll
tics, being elected to county office,
and in this, as in his previous employ
ment, showed himself to be bright
and capable man. He made himself
useful to the party managers and did
good public service at the same
time. About the close of the war he
became chairman OF the Republican
State Central Committee when it was
the fashion in Iowa to give majorities
of from 10000 to $4,000, and was
rewarded for his services in this direc-
ton by an appointment as United
States marshal, and as his district
covered the entire state this gave him
q prominence which was more
than local and made him one of the
best known men in the state.
Just after the reconstruction period
he gave up politics and removed to
Palestine, Tex, where he became con-
nected with the management of the
International Railroad. Here the
same qualities that had stood him in
good stead as boy and man, IN bust
ness and in politics, brought him to
the front and did good work in devel-
| oping this railroad system in Texas
and soon showed that he had in him
the qualities of great railroad man
ager. When Mr.. Gould bought up q
| large number of railroads in the
! Southwest and had consolidated
them in the general name of the Wa
bash system, Mr.. Hoxie was chosen
as one of his lieutenants and went to
st. Louis, where he became first vice
president of this system. He is a
| shrewd, quick-witted man, OF few
words, but prompt in decision and
immovable when once he has made up
his mind.

A Clean Barnyard.

A barnyard can and should be kept
neat. The manure should be stacked
in the center, and the droppings in the
other parts of the yard should be
thrown on this stack at least once a
day. The manure stack should be
kept lowest in the central part, and
if the drainage of the roof be occa-
sionally turned on this, all the better.
This mass can be loaded more easily
into wagons, and will befound of great
er bulk and strength than if allowed
to scatter over the yard, exposed to
sun and rains. Just at this time,
when the ground is settling so manure
can be moved to the fields, fortunate
is the provident farmer who has turned
his manure pile twice, and now has it
fine and reduced in bulk. 1t is in con-
dition to be at once appropriated as
plant food, and can be taken to the
field with half the labor required had
it not been worked over. 1t can be
spread evenly on the wheat or meadow
lands, while the crude manure is
thrown off in chunks or forkfuls, to
smother plants and be a nuisance on
the meadow or wheat field. There is
class OF farmers who have a mania
for making manure. Making manure
for the sake of the manure is a little
like paying a dollar or two per cord for
it and hauling it several miles to the
| farm.

Too Early Planting.

Nothing is gained in earliness by
planting seeds in open ground before
it is warm enough to insure their ger
mination. This is especially true OF
plants that require a tropical heat to
mature, and which in the hands of
those having little experience are
wasted if planted before their proper
time. In this class are beans, corn,
tomatoes and egg plant. Peas and
lettuce seed may be sown safely as
soon as the ground can be got ready,
and they will be all the better if the
spot for them has been prepared IN
the fall, so that no new blowing or
spading will be required. The earliest
lettuce is fall sown from the beds
whence seed has been taken the sum
mer before.

out for dampness. II the floor of the
poultry-house is not perfectly dry,
look out for roup. Board it over and
cover it with dirt and ashes. Keep an
eve on the chicks. Keep them per
fectly dry. Confne them mornings
until the dew is off the grass.
Many hocks have to subsist almost
entirely upon grain food during the
entire year. This Is an injudicious
course of feeding. Vegetables, either
raw or cooked, or mixed with meal
for the mornings mess, are extremely
valuable. Cabbage, as succulent
vegetable, has no rival. Grass, on
the sod or cut fresh, is excellent. On
ions, chopped fine and mixed with
their soft food, are wholesome, and
often prevent or check disease in
fowls.
Insects have an aversion to the odor
or smell of the red cedar. Cedar saw
dust sprinkled about the house, and
nests partially composed OF and rest
ing upon bed of cedar leaves, will
prevent the inroads Of insects. When
convenient, small cedar trees, cut
down and placed about the premises,
renewed occasionally by fresh green
ones, are recommended for this pur-
pose.
Butchers refuse meat, the haslet or
pluck boiled in considerable water I'M
til soft, then run through 81 sausage
machine so as to reduce it to a uni
form size, and again brought to boil
and seasoned with salt, black or red
pepper, and little sulphur, will make
a food which will stimulate d good
supply of eggs during the coolest winter
months. While boiling, an equal pro-
portion of corn meal, middlings and
bran should be added and constantly
stirred to prevent burning, until the
mess is so thick that it can with difficult
ty be stirred. The water used should
be dish water after washing plates,
pots, etc, in the kitchen; even the soap
contained therein is thought to be
beneficial to the fowls. This food is
supplied to the fowls in the morning,
as much as they will eat OF it, first
having been slightly heated by pouring
little scalding water over it. AT
night, whole corn and sometimes
wheat during the winter is supplied In
moderate quantities.-POuItry Month

Tagging sheep.

The ewes should be carefully tagged
before their lambs come. The utmost
care must be taken in handling them
at this time to prevent injuring the
eve and her young. The wool should
be closely cut away from her udder,
so that the lamb can the more easily
find the teats, and it also should be
trimmed closely from all parts which
will in any way become daubed and
filthy. Besides the eve flock, every
sheep on the farm should have all
loose wool, and that which will get be
fouled when they are turned on fresh
pasture, closely clipped away. Don't
allow this to be neglected; as wet and
dirty wool makes a breeding place for
maggots, which soon increase and de-
stroy the animal. All the sheep which
are eaten up with maggots might be
saved, by keeping them properly
tagged.-Nahonal Stoekman.
