The weather crop bulletin, issued by

throughout the United States, the wealth
er during the past week has been the
most favorable Of the season for growing
crops. While all the crops have i'm
proved in Nebraska, the conditions up
to date have not been most favorable for
the corn crop. More rain in portions of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and
New Jersey would doubtless improve
the crop Of small grains, grass and fruit.
The weather has been favorable for har-

Fate of the Wild Pigeon.

The fate of the wild pigeon is under
discussion, and very widespread
opinion appears to prevail that be-
cause these birds are not seen in many
sections where they abounded they
have disappeared from this continent.
It is probable that this hypothesis can
be proved an unsound one, and the
wild pigeon may still be found in scat
tered focks in the Far West, their
flight and nesting grounds changing
with the fluctuations of the mast sup
ply on which they depend for food.
Such flocks have been reported within
a few years, and since that time there
has been no event which might be &C
cepted as an adequate explanation of
their extinction. The fact remains
that the wild pigeon has not held it's
own, nor stemmed the current of set
tlement and civilization which has
swept it from the great areas where
it's hosts once darkened the heavens

IN him. Az he turned his canoe

With him. As he turned his canoe
down stream. however, the noisy vii
layers gave chase, and there were
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 chill
dren, johnson says, armed them
selves with knives, and, standing
ankle deep in the water, shrieked at
the top of their voices that they would
like to eat the white man. The ex-
plorer, however, managed to keep out
of the clutches of the savages, and to
get away without firing.
The cannibal tribes near the Niger
delta, in Angola and in the Congo
basin, are probably the only natives of
Africa who habitually eat hum an flesh.
Some tribes in East Africa, however,
indulge in cannibal practices during
religious exercises, and they also
sometimes eat the bodies of enemies
slain in battle. They believe that
they are thus imbued with the virtues
of the victim. N. Y San.

AFRICAN CANNIBALS.
They Discuss the Propriety of Eating an
Explorer and His Party.

They Discuss the Propriety of Eating an
Explorer and His Party.
Though the Congo region is the
nome of most of the cannibals of
Africa, some tribes of man-eaters may
be found much nearer the sea than in
the Congo country. Along the delta
region Of the Niger, emptying into the
Blight of Biafra, are some of the worst
cannibals in the world. Unlike many
of the Congo cannibals, who have
proved themselves by their arts and
tribal governments to be among the
most advanced Of savage peoples, the
cannibals living near the Gulf of
Guinea are among the most degraded
of human beings.
Mr.. II. H. johnson, the British
Consul at CAMERON, recently made a
trip up the Cross river, which empties
into the Gulf of Guinea, about one
hundred and eighty miles east Of the
main branch Of the Niger. Mr.. john
son is well-known by his geographical
work on the Congo and his book on
Mount Kilima-Njaro. He had not
ascended the river more than fifty
miles before the people he met began
to be very wild and excitable. In a
communication just published in the
Proceedings Of the Royal Geographical
Society, Mr.. johnson says the people
are inveterate cannibals. They are
continually fighting with each other in
order to supply their larders with
fresh food. In one hut which he en-
tered smoked human ham was hang
ing from the smoke-blackened rafters,
and above a hundred skulls were
ranged round the upper part OF the
clay walls One old chief who wished
to convince Johnston of his very
friendly feeling took necklace from
his neck and presented it to the white
man. The ornament was made from
human knuckle bones.
At one point on the river, where the
traveller was received with great ap-
parent friendship, he learned that the
natives were debating the question
whether to treat the visitors as hon.
ored guests or to eat them, or at any
rate to eat the Kroo boys who had
padded Mr.. johnson up the river.
He decided that it would not be safe to
extend his explorations further, and
he started down the RIVER while the
natives were still debating what to do

NEWSPAPERS AND HOTELS.
A Philosophical Treatise on Food, Intel
lectual and Otherwise.

lectuaI and Otherwise.
There are not only many men OF
many minds, but there is also diver
sity of stomachs, hence it requires q
rare combination of qualifications to
successfully manage either first class
journal or first class hotel. Under
these circumstances it is strange that
there is hardly one man in a thousand
who doubts his ability to make a sue
cess of either of these intricate insti-
tutions.
The average American lawyer,
preacher, street-car driver, or what
ever else he may have been, after hav-
ing been driven into the very earth by
the sledge hammer of adversely, viii
wink knowingly at the nearest specta-
tor and say: 81 recken I'll have to be-
come an editor or a hotel keeper as
soon as | can borrow pair of crutches
to get out on" What is the resultP
This country is infested with alleged
newspapers, that will never be fit for
waste paper until they have been inn
proved two thousand per cent edit
orially and geographically. The
American people are being hurried
along to the tomb by indigestion and
thousand kindred ills that may be
attributed to the treatment they re-
ceive at hotels, and the mental and
physical disquietude that comes from
being starved by day and bled and
flayed alive by insects at night.
However, the working of tho ancient
principle of the survival of the fittest
is gradually eliminating from journal
ism inferior intellects and they natu-
rally drift into the halls Of Congress or
legislative assemblies.
As to what becomes of the public
enemies who fail in their efforts to de-
populate the earth by keeping alleged
hotels, we are unable to reply with
any degree of certainty, but it is our
impression that they keep up the as
saults on mankind under the guise of
practicing medicine. 1t must have
frequently occurred to the man OF
reflective turn of mind, who thought
fully observes the antics of his fellow
worms, that there Is, comparing great
things with small ones, a good deal Of
similarity between journals and hotels.
Both are Indispensable to civilized
man. Man, as some of our readers
may know from personal experience,
is endowed by Heaven with an empty
stomach, which vociferously demands
several square meals daily, and scorn-
fully rejects all efforts to compromise
the matter.
Man is also blessed with an un-
quenchable frenzy to know every thing
possible to be known about the affairs
of his neighbor and of the neighbor of
every body else. The latter want is
supplied by the press, that always
keeps the public posted about what
happens, hence it would appear that
the men who supply their fellow men
with good newspapers and good hotel
accommodations are the greatest bene-
factors of the human race.-IeJas

How to Overcome the Dangers of

protectors, placing one on the chest and
one on the pit of the stomach. They not
only ward off the cold, but act as tonic.
We are frequently affected with rheuma-
tism, kinks in the back, and pains in the
side; but one or two of ALLCoCK'S PLAs-
TIERS quickly cure us. My wife and daugh-

FOR AMATEUR AUTHORS.

USu MUM eOV ~
Hints to Newspaper Writers which WIN
Please the Editors.
First be sure that you have nothing
to say, and then sit down and say 1t.
Don't bother about ideas, or about
sense, if you haven't any. Make up
for the absence of both by grandilo-
quent words and many of them,
especially if you are writing for space.
Enlarge upon your topic; it shows fer
tility, to ensmall upon it indicates
paucity.
Write on paper foolscap size, or on
wall paper if it is more handy. 1t
creases so beautifully when you cram
it into the envelope. Then, too, you
will please the compositor; he likes
the sheet Of MS to cover his upper
case;" indeed, the more it covers the
better he likes it. He shows his de-
light by his well-sustained profanity.
Use pale blue ink and don't aim at
legibility. The editor is fond of
deciphering hieroglyphics. 1t is likely
that he'll guess at a far better word
than the one you really used. II you
have no blue ink, black ink that has
been frozen and thawed out three or
four times will do as well.
When your article is finished don't
revise it. Above all don't prJ1ne it;
that might strengthen it, but it will
also shorten it, and quantity goes far
ther than quality.
Show it to friends who are incom-
petent to Judge Of its merits. If they
praise it then it is ready to fire at the
editor.
If you show it to a competent friend
he'll hesitate to tell you, out of regard
for your feelings, that it is ''rot" and
that you are not called to write. You
see, if he tells you the truth you'll not
send the MS; the editor will be de-
prived Of the pleasure of declining it,
and you Of the delight Of getting it
back or of thinking kindly of the editor
for years because he kept it and the
stamps you sent him.
You needn't send sufficient stamps
for the return of your MS. 1t can't be
explained why it is so, but it costs less
postage from him to you than it does
from you to him. Anyhow, the aver
age literary tyro seems to think that
it does.
If your article is excessively funny
send it to the Homiletic Monthly.
If it Is excessively dull and heavy
send it to Puck
If 1t is on theology send it to the
Scientific american; If on science, to
the Christian at Work.
There's great deal In sending the
article to the journal for which it isn't
at all adapted.
Wait at least two days before you
write to inquire why you haven't
heard about the article
If you live near the publication Of
fee don't send your MS, but take it
yourself. Read it to the editor; read
it boisterously. so that others within
hearing may enjoy it. They may
doubt the massiveness of your brain,
but not the capacity Of your lungs.
Get into the editors lap, if possible;
walk all over him. fguratively speak
ing. He enjoys such visitors hugely;
the disappointment of his life is that
they do not come in squadrons.
Should the editor, through dementia
or the idiotic fortuity of circumstances,
accept your article, send him another
right off. In fact, keep sending them.
Load them in Gatling gun. Make a
target of him. Other writer's have no
business to expect hearing. They
ought to fall back upon more pie
beian calling.

-Exnerts claim seasickness can be

Experts claim seasickness can be
regulated by a system of breathing.
One must sit still and breathe regu-
larly and freely according to a fixed
plan: Time your breathing to the up
ward and downward motion of the
boat. AS the boat falls there should
be full expiration, and as the boat
begins to rise start on an inspiration,
ending just as the boat starts to drop.
It is an easy plan to follow and will
make you laugh at the idea Of being
sick, unless you have stomach SO
weak as to be affected by the swaying
of an elevated train or boat on a short
and smooth ferry.
