risslons for confirm Africo.

Almost all round Africa, and most mark
edly 50 along the coast OF Guinea, there
runs, for the breadth Of from 20 to 150
miles inland from the coast, belt Of mala-
rious country, consisting OF low lying plains
and vast mangrove swamps, which are COW
cred with masses OF decaying vegetation
The climate is hot and moist the sun beats
tiereely down, and the foul fog which it
draws up from the stagnant waters is
charged with death IL it does not destroy
the life at once, at least like opium eating
it slowly saps all the vital forces The nobler
beasts Of burden themselves sicken and die
in this pestilential atmosphere. No amount
Of care enables them to live out their natural
term. Woe to the European visitor who
leaves his vessel and incautiously passes a
night upon the shorel He sometimes falls b
victim at once or, worse still, he carries about
henceforward a sentence OF death within
himself, Sierra Leone itself has long been
known as "the white mans graye.n Those

to acclimatize Themselves are generally the

The finer and more manly African races who
live behind the coast ranges of mountains
and within the central plateau, with its more
moderate temperature and invgorating air,
when they venture downto this fever stricken
region, themselves gradually degenerate,
physically and morally, even as did the
hardy Samnites of old when they pressed
down from their mountain fastnesses in the
Central Apennines to the luxurious shores Of
Campania. With noble self-devohon, but. it
must be added, with strange short sighted
ness, European missionaries have thrown
themselves into this hopeless region, and,
with rapidly enfeebling bodies and minds,
have labored on among people who are
physically incapacitated, even If Christian
lied, for any vigorous exertion, till death
released them. Not single missionary set>
tlement, except the few struggling stations
along the pestilential Lower Niger, has, l
believe, yet been planted 100 miles frayn the
West African coast, among those nobler
races, such as the Mandingoes or tho FAllahs,

The CAUSES OF MuTlsM.
Why the Mute Does Not Use tho Organ.
OF specoh-curious Case.

Ordinary mutism is not due to any defect
/ III the vocal organs. but to deafness, either
i born with tho person or occurring so early as
! 10 preclude learning 70 talk The mute does
not use the organs Of speech simply because
| he docs not know how. Talking is really a
/ very complex process, and involves much
knowledge and moro training.
But mutism may also be caused by laryn-
geal disease, or by paralysis OF the nerves
that work tho vocal chords, so that it is inn
possible TO bring them together. This is
known as aphonia. Somewhat resembling
this, yet wholly distinct from it, Is what is
called aphasia, an affection Of certain part
Of the brain, which takes from the patient,
who may have perfect vocal organs and enjoy
all the other powers OF his mind, the power
to use words Sometimes the loss is com
plete and sometimes words can be uttered,
but so unintelligently ns TO make nonsense
Perhaps mere yes or mo- comes out on
every attempt to speak. Another form Of
mutism is Of hySterical origin. This does
not mean that it is fegned, any more than
the terrible spasns OF some hysterical
patients are foigned. In the hysterical there
is a singular instability Of the nervous sys-
tom. The slightest cause often sets up the
widest disturbance Of the whole nervous ma
chinery.
The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal
gives the case Of a shoemaker, whose nervous
system had been injured by the use Of alcohol
from bis boyhood. Having spent the night
in the gutter after a drunken debauch, he
was taken to the hospital, where he was tor
mcnted by countless hallucinations Of sight
Then his power Of speech gradually failed,
until it was wholly lost. He at length fully
recovered his bodily health and became quite
rational But he remained absolutely mute,
and the officials, after the most thorough
testing, were satisfied that there was no de-
ception in the case Indeed, he was exceed
ingly anxious to return to his home but was
detained only because of his mutsm He
was finally dismissed IN this condition. But
may at any time suddenly recover his power
Of speech, under some exciting cause.
Still another form Of mutism results from
some insane delusion which impels the
patient to keep silent. Though the vocal
organs are perfect he may refuse to speak
for months or years. Youths Companion
