The Slaves Of Tangier.

The slaves form considerable part
Of the population of Tangier. They
are mostly of the deep black Guinea
negro type, brought from across the
Desert Of Sahara, though sometimes
unfortunates of ether races are kid
mapped and sold into slavery. Public
suctions are frequently held in the
main street Of the bazaar at which chill
dren can be purchased for from sl2 to
$40. while full-grown men and women
are sold at prices ranging from $50 to
500 Masters have absolute power
over their slaves, even that of life and
death. and in case of sale transfer them
By means of deed, just as We transfer

is Z little difficult to say whether they

Hardly month passes but we read of ter
rible explosions, and loss Of life from
natural gas.
One writer has raked up Chinese history.
wherein il appears, that away back in the
time when the famous Chinese wall was
building, before the use Of gas wells was
discovered, terrible explosion took place.
The big wells in some way got the start of
the little ones, SO that enormous volumes of
air were sucked down into those suoterra-
mean magazines. When the air reached GER
tain proportions, the whole thing went off
like a leaky gasoline stove. The result was
horrible in the destruction of lives. The
same writer predicts similar conditions un-
DERIVING the great natural gas belt of this
country, from Toledo, through Ohio, Indi-
ana and Kentucky, whereby that whole vast
region might be ripped up to the depth of
1900 feet, leaving a chasm for the waters of
the great lakes TO pour down into, blottlng
out every human being in this now densely
populated valley from the face of the earth.
That writer might easily have shown further,
that throughout our whole country not only
in denssly populated regions and cities, but
in country and village houses as WE'LL natu-
raj gases far more dangerous than is found
in the lake regions, are carrying off not only
.'pig-tail" Cinnamon, but our own families
and friends, during the hot waves of July
and August.
Scores of people are dying daily from
typhoid fever, diarrhea, dysentery. cholera
morbus, and infant summer complaints; all
caused by poisonous gases and ferments far
worse than hydrogen gas or dynamite in their
explosions. Fortunately this latter danger
can all be averted, by the use of simple
old fashioned remedy, Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment, used internally, as explained in a
pamphlet sent free to anyone, by /. S. John
son ( Co. Boston, Mass. No matter if you
have used this remedy before, it will pay
you to get a bottle and read the directions or
send for the pamphlet just to learn how to
use it economically. aug. 2,d&wlw.
