According to the testimony of Sir
Samuel Baker, Emin Pasha and Henry
NJ. Stanley, there is one chief in Central
Africa who is worthy of the title of gen.
tleman. His name is Anfni and he
rules over the region made famous in
Rider Haggard's remarkable novel,
''She." He is described as a portly, well
dressed man of middle age, who is pos
sessed of Unborn tact, never asks for
presents and is not inquisitive about the
private affairs of his guests. Since the
Arabs began trading in his country, An
fini has been able to procure many arti-
Giles of European manufacture.
DR.. Emin says that Anfni is the only
negro prince he has met to whom cloth
ing and whatever other civilized appli-
ances have found their way to his coun-
try have become Indispensable. He
dresses in English flannels and is scru-
pulously clean. He is the only native in
the central regions of the dark continent
who habitually uses plates and metal
spoons at his meals. When DR.. Emin
was his guest bananas and other food
were passed around on china dishes. His
people never presume TO appear in public
in a nude condition, but all are decently
wrapped in skins and bark clothing

The Russians, says an English paper,
are moving rapidly OIL every line that
makes for national progress. Scientific
exploration is being carried on in many
different directions; laboratories and OBJ
servatories are being founded, and rail-
ways opened at a wonderfully rapid rate.
There are now IS, 500 miles of railway
open for traffic in Russia. OF this the
state owns about one-ffth only. The
Russians are independent Of foreign ma
tons for coal. iron, oil and mechanical
skill, and the foreign element is being
eliminated from Russian works, SO that
the progress of the empire is taking place
on a wide basis .-Chicago Herald.

upon US through a vital channel. The

one which does not only ameliorate the

CONCLUDED from First page.l

pending bill, as he had heard 1t read, did
not cover the point at issue. 1t provided
for the repeal OF that provision of the act
of May 6, 1882, which provided for the
issuance of certificates of identity. The
trouble was that the treaty of 1880 pro-
vided that Chinese who were in the
United States could go and come of their
own free will and accord. 1t was not I'M
til 1882 that any law placed on the statute
books provided for the Identification of
those who should depart between the
date of the treaty and the act of 1882.
Twelve thousand Cinnamon had de-
parted without certificates OF identified
ton. Now, according to the decision of
the courts, these persons were entitled to
return on parole testimony. This bill
would not cover this difficulty. If the
gentleman from Pennsylvania would in
the course of the afternoon introduce a
bill which would provide that Cinnamon
who left the United States prior to the
act of 1882 should not be entitled to re-
turn, it would cover the difficulty.
Scott could see no reason for waiting
until the afternoon. IF the gentleman
from California offered an amendment to
remedy the evil lie would accept it.
The bill then at Morrow's request was
again read and Morrow expressed himself
satisfied with it as it stood. There was no
objection and the bill passed without d.
vision.
The following bills were then introduced
and referred:
By Wheeler of Acknowledging cot
ton bagging on the free list.
By Newton of Louisiana-To punish
persons connected with trusts by a fine of
81, 900 to $40. 900 or imprisonment from
one to five years.
The speaker stated the regular order of
business and a motion was made by
Townshend of Illinois to suspend the
rules and pass the senate bill relating to
the detail of army and navy officers to ed
ucational institutions. On this motion no
quorum voted and a call of the house was
ordered. which developed a quorum which
Immediately disappeared when the vote
was again taken.
Foruey, of Alabama, interrupted the
proceedings by calling up the conference
report on the sundry civil appropriation
bill, but Townshend raised the question
of its consideration and in his opposition
to the conference report. he was sustained
by Breckenridge. of Arkansas, who de-
sired an opportunity to call up the bill for
free cotton bagging. The house refused
to consider the conference report, and
after more than an hour spent in securing
a quorum, Townshend's motion was
agreed to.
The next unfinished business was the
motion made by Warner of Missouri to
suspend the rules and put the 0kalahama
bill on its passage.
Payson of Illinois demanded a second to
the motion. No quorum voted and this
point was raised by Clements of Georgia,
and the house adjourned.

A carpenter named Martin claims to
have been held up" for $50 on Eddy
street last evening. The alleged robber
is in the city Jail. The men had been
drinking and we're scufiing when Martin
raised the cry that he had been robbed.
His companion was searched but without
satisfactory result. A S. bill was found
near the city Jail soon after his incarcera-
ton, and it is possible the prisoner
dropped it and the remainder of the
money to avoid detection. However,
there is no direct evidence against him.

Tea Gathering in cer,.a

Tea is getting to be q great product Of
Ceylon and the export is already 10, 0oo,.
900 pounds. 1t is claimed in behalf of
this tea that it is cleaner than Chinese or
japanese tea, which is manipulated and
adulterated until its quality is consider
ably deteriorated. In Ceylon coolies
pick the tea leaves, which are spread on
trays to wither under cover for about q
day. The withered leaf is then placed in
a rolling machine, driven by power, and
rolled for an hour, and during the process
the leaves become a moist and twisted
mass, out of which the expressed juice
freely rolls. The leaves are then placed
in trays to ferments or oxydize, during
which process they change from a green
to a copper color. The subsequent flavor
and strength of the tea depend, to a
great extent, on the fermentation, which
is a chemical process, the success of
which is due to the weather.
Firing is the next process. The tea is
thinly spread on trays and placed either
on charcoal stoves or in large iron drying
machines, and at the end of half an hour
it is thoroughly crisp and dried and has
become tea. The tea is then sized by
being passed through sleeves of different
mesh, giving the varieties of Broken
Pekoe, Pekoe, Souchong, Congou and
Dust. The first mentioned, which con-
sists chiefly of the opening bud of the
leaf, gives the strongest tea; SO strong
that the other teas are mixed with it.
The tea is again slightly fired to drive off
any suspicion of moisture, and packed
while warm in lead lined boxes.
Ceylon tea may now be bought in the
American market. 1t is extolled for its
strength and flavor, and it is said that
two pounds Of it will go farther than
three pounds of Chinese or Japanese tea.
1t Is said to have a fragrance that is pc
culiarly its own.-Good Housekeeping.

Thought from Young Men.

Professor Henry Drummond, whose
'Natural Law in the Spiritual World"
made SO much stir in the world, is de-
scribed to be a tall, slim, fair young
man, with a trim mustache and a well
fitting frock coat, and resembling an
officer of the guards rather than a lee
turer at a university" 1t seems to be
surprising to many that he should not be
elderly, specialized, shabby and cranky,
but the reasonable mind will admit that
the present is just the era to expect sound
judgment and profound thought from
young men. In other ages young men
gave their youth to folly exclusively, and
were not in q state of health at the age
of 30 to see clearly or moralize effect
lively. Seventy years or so gave a man
authority as a philosopher, but the
modern system of college athletics keeps
a mans physical health strong while his
mind develops, so that, unless our col
legians are wilfully vicious, the coming
century should produce a finer set of
minds and bodies than did ancient
Greece.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

1t is interesting to try and figure the
actual extent of the advantages reaped
from modern Observation-Disclosures
which some people are bold enough to
call in question. Does rapid transit, for
instance, really save any great amount
of valuable timer
Take a city like New York, where
there are perhaps 100000 people who go
each day to and from their work. Re-
Numbering the distances travelled by
some, it will surely be within limits to
suppose that five minutes, on the average,
is saved on each journey by the various
means Of rapid transit Of which most
avail themselves. This would make an
hour on the twelve weekly Journeys,
and ffty-two hours, or say five working
days, in a year.
For $50, 900 people this means a yearly
saving Of 1850, 900 working days, or,
reckoning 300 working days to the year,
an ANIMAL economy Of 4, 1875 years.

not TO trust yourselves in small boats of

chance you get do your best to learn
something of swimming, and OF will
never regret it. To those of my own sex

Secret of Convenation.

The secret of good talking is to have
something to say, say it well, cut it short,
and be ready to listen. The best talker

him every time. To know how to be
silent in many languages is,.a great ac-
complishment possessed by few. -Wheel-

LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS
With Peters Patent Fasteningsf for Cartrid ges.
Pattern Improved. Penetration Increased. Recon Diminished and
Founna Of Gun Chamber Prevented.
The Peters Cartrid


Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, both
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the lamentations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines are run by steam and are auto,
matte throughout. The wads are of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell in the act of loading. The extra size and quality of the wads
hold back and develop the full strength of the charge, and render
especial Smith or Parker" loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having a
steady and powerful movement the wads are seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges are uniform. The Indentations
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary crimp
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent fouing of shell chamber
and leading of shoulder. The recoil is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection of Shotgun Ammunition. The most fattering
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional Sportsmen are alike delighted. For sale by

Queer Religious sec,. in Russia.

NJ Tsakni, a Russian writer, has Just
published an interesting work upon curl.
Gus religious sects in Russia. 1t appears
that in the empire there are n less than
$1,000, 600 Of devout followers Of insane
and cranky notions of Christianity; and
new religions or sects are constantly
springing up in spite Of all the efforts OF
the Russian authoritles.
One Of these sects is called the Runa-
ways. They fly from their villages or
towns. They believe in returning TO
wild state of existence, destroying their
identity as much as possible, and living
like savages. Civilization they regard as
the great curse Of humanity. They also
carry ON sort of brigandage, anl one Of
their most sacred duties is TO rob
churches.
There is another sect. callinr them
selves Christs. They adore one other.
Crazy dancing forms part Of their rehg-
ious ceremonies.
The Skoptsys, another religious tody,
believe in self mutilation. They are also
expert dancers and tumblers. BaITum
would be proud of such set of acrohats.
There is another sert that never speak.
They make signs skillfully.
Bloody sacrifices form part Of the re-
ligion Of other fanatics. and the butcher
ing of sons and daughters to appease the
wrath Of the Lord is getting rather too
common.
There are also missionaries who go
around preaching the glories and beau
ties Of suicide, and its absolute necessity
for salvation. A Mr.. Souckhof is the
leader of this gang. He was arrested
! for murder some time ago, but managed
TO escape, and turned up in village,
where he preached so hard in favor of
murder and suicide that several of his
followers cut each others throats, and
others shut themselves up in their houses
and burned themselves to death.-New
