air. IL. II. Johnston. the British consul
at CAMERON, recently made a trip up the
Cross river, which empties into the
Gulf of Guinea, about $50 miles east of
the main branch of the Niger. Mr.. John
ston is well known by his geographical
work on the Congo and his book on Mount
Kilima- Marc. He had not assembled the
river more than fifty miles before the
people he mot began to be very wild and
excitable. In n communication just pub
lished in the Proceedings of the Royal
Geographical Society, Mr.. Johnston says
the people are all inveterate canniba1s.
They are continually fighting with each
other in order to supply their larders with
fresh food In one hut which he entered
a smoked human ham was hanging from
the smoke blackened rafters, and above a
hundred skulls were ranged around the
upper part of the clay walls. One old
chief who wished to convince Johnston
of his very friendly feeling took a neck,
lace from his neck and presented 1t to the
white man. The orname was made OF
human knuckle bones.
At one point ON the river where the
traveller was received with great apparent
friendship, he learned that the natives
were debating the question whether to
treat the visitors as honored guests or to
eat them, or at any rate to eat tine Kroo
boys who had padded Mr.. Johnston up
the river. He decided that 1t would not
be safe to extend his explorations fur
ther. and he started down the river while
the natives were still debating what to
do with him. As he turned his canoe
dow stream. however, the noisy villa
gers gave chase, and there were a few
minutes Of terrible anxiety when the
canoe ran aground, and hundreds of the
yelling savages attempted to wade across
the shallow water and seize the fugitives
Even little children, Johnston says,
armed themselves with knives, and,
standing ankle deep In the water,
they would like to eat the white man.
The explorer, however, managed to keep
out of the clutches of the savages, and to
get away without firing.-New York Sun.

The children of this world having

aud every act of theirs, every epistle they
write. every letter they shape with the
pen Is in the doing pushed and hurried in

in a given time.
There is no repose, no rest for the mind
from morning till night, nc time or incli-
nation to dismiss thought or care II for
ever so few minutes. and at last there Is
no capacity for so doing. This habit of
mind grows into a fixed one. 1t leads
away from precision 1t leads away from
exactness. 1t leads away from order or
method. 1t does lead even brilliant intel
lects into a sort of heller SHELTER way Of
doing everything 1t leads to forgetful-
ness. for the memory cannot make a
clean record when so much is forced on 1t.
