stanley's Discoveries.

Whatever may be the outcome of Mr..
Stanley's effort to bring away the Wa.
delai garrison, the cause of geographical
science will, at all events, be greatly
benefited. In his interesting letter to
the Royal Geographical Society, he
gives mass of important information
about the unknown regions through
which he lately passed. The country is,
it appears, most prolific of vegetable
life; wherever the Arabs had not created
a wilderness, plenty and prosperity were
found ON every hand. Even the dens
and widely extended forests bear witness
to the same fact; where these multitu.
dinous trees grow, other and more
profitable crops might be cultivated. As
for the hostility of the natives, it has to
be remembered that these unfortunate
people have been accustomed to find
ruthless enemies in every armed coun-
try moving through their territory. III
is not given to them to differentiate be.
tween one party and another; for all
they could tell to the contrary, Mr..
Stanley might have been another and
worst sort of man-hunter. That they
are canibals does not initiate against
luelI cnafttclef. Lie MaOIlS anu the
Fijians were similarly addicted at one
time, but with civilization came a dis
taste for ''long pig" Perhaps the most
important OF Mr.. SANKEY'S discoveries
is that the Albert Nyanza is rapidly dry
ing up. Even since Emin Pasha first
weht TO Wadelai a great change has
taken place; what were islands seven Oh
eight years ago have become headlands
on which villages now stand. 1t is con.
jectured that this is due to the wearing
away of the reefs across the Nile near
Wadelai. But why should the erosion
have taken place all of a sudden, az
seems to have been the cases Were the
lake to continue to fall at the same rate
a great change would come over all the
surrounding regions While losing,
perhaps, some OF their present fertility,
they would become much more healthy,
and so present more promising open
ing to European enterprise. That con
summation may seem a long way of,
but when once the Arab slave dealers are

Remarkable Hog Statistics.

Some rather startling computations
have been made on the subject of hog
breeding. 1t has been found that, if
permitted, hogs Will live from fifteen to
twenty years of age, that they COM
mence breeding when they are from
nine 10 twelve months old, and that from
one pair only in ten years, allowing
only six to a litter, male and female,
upward of 6, 434, S3S pigs would be OBJ
tanned; that is to say that if, instead Of
three acres and a COW, a countryman
started with some acres and pair of
pigs, he might in the course Of ten years
count their progeny by millions. This
is not reckoning on any out-of-the-way
basis, for it has been shown that one
SOW actually produced 355 pigs in twen-
ty htters; while at an exhibition of the
Agricultural Society a boar was shown
which, although only twenty months
cid, was already the father of ], 466 hogs.
Here then is wealth for the Million

Big Basin of Pork Pickle.

Morris H. Frost, who was collector OF
customs at Port Townsend, Washington
Territory, in 1859, used to tell this an
ecdote about himself: He was raised in
the northern paIt Of New York State
and came TO Oregon across the plains
He knew what table salt was and coarse
salt for picking beef and pork. He
also knew about EPSON salts and glauber
salts, such as are given to sailors on
long voyages, but had never seen the
bosom of the briny deep; he had never
seen the ocean. After residing a while
in Oregon he came over to the sound
and was riding on horseback from the
Cowlitz landing to Fort Steilacoom. The
weather was warm, the road dusty and
his horse very thirsty. At last through
the dense forest he discovered the glim-
mer Of water, and, thinking it a lake,
he drove his horse in to drink. The
animal, in his raging thirst, plunged his
head in up to his eyes, then drew it up
suddenly, snorting and blowing The
Colonel got off, and, taking some of the
water in his hand, tasted it, and ex-
claimed: Pork pickle, by thunder I"
A man coming along the trail at the
time explained that 1t was the salt water
of Puget Sound, and showed the Colonel
brook near by where the horse
quenched his thirst.
The Colonel, when relating this to a
reporter of the Port Townsend argus,
said that he was not as green as friend
of his from Pike County, Missouri, who
went to Olympia for a few days. He
noticed the tides, but did not
know what to make of them. He
told Colonel Frost that this was the
strangest country he eyer saw, for there
were two freshets every twenty-four
hours and nary drop of rain. 'sThe
fact was, said the Colonel, che and L
had our hair full of hay seed, but l have
got the hayseed out of my hair by wrap
ping some kelp leaves round my head,
and now am as salt as any one.

LIFE IN INDIAN TERRITORY
How the U. S. Marshals Keep Order
With Winchester Rifles.

Six miles southeast of Purcell, in the
Chicksaw Nation, has just been erected
the prison pen in which is to be first
confined the criminals and alleged Grim
inals arrested by United States Depu-
ties in this Federal district 1t is GER
tainly MS odd a place of its kind as is to
be found anywhere in the world, and il
stands as IA true specimen of Western
ingenuity. The day of its completion
Deputy United States Marshal Joe Nc
Nally invited the New York World cor
respondent out ''to look through it. .
The ride along the trail was lonesome
enough and not a person was seen ex-
cept a deputy marshal armed to the
teeth, carrying in his belt two revolvers,
in his boot a large knife, and on his
saddle a winchester.
"There it is" exclaimed Joe as he
pointed to what at first appeared to be a
dugout ON the bank of a stream a short
distance ahead. Around it were seen a
number of armed men and half dozen
persons in chains. The prison, as it
was called, is dugout about 20x30 and
six feet high, which had been made by
digging down from the prairie and COW
ering the opening above with hackle-
berry logs and dirt. The entrance was
from the front through door three feet
wide. Bunks were built in the side of
the wall and blankets were placed upon
the ground for use when these We're all
taken. A sheet-iron stove had been put
up at one end and shelves erected for
storing provisions. Inclosing an area
of few square yards in front of the en-
trance had been built barb-wire fence
and wooden gate swung across the
path that led down to the stream.
The depu V explained that it had been
constructed so far from Purcell because
the guards could not so easily come to
town and, neglecting their prisoners,
allow them to escape, as one batch had
been permitted to do a few DAYS before.
Besides the means Just described for
keeping prisoners there were in all six
guards-fine, manly looking young fell
lows-each with a belt of cartridges
around his waist, two revolvers a d
Winchester. They took turns in guard
ing the place after night, and five were
on duty each day. The prisoners. or
more especially those who were arrested

The place is expected to furnish accom-
