In the center of the gloomy African
forest, Stanley came across the famous
dwarf tribes, which have excited the
curiosity of civilization ever since they
were first described by Paul Du Chaillu.
Like many oshers of Du Chaillus discov-
cries, these dwarfs were long believed to
be a fiction of the French travellers i'm
agination; but later African explorers
have confirmed the story which he told.
Du Chaillu reported the tiny savages to
be exceedingly shy, but not actively hos
tile. They simply deserted their earth
huts and fled to the woods ON the ap-
proach of strangers. Stanley's expert
ence with them was much less agreeable.
He reports them to have been the most
annoying foes encountered on his whole
march. 1t was their custom to hide be-
hind trees and shoot at the white men
aith poisoned arrows; and no advances
could win their friendship. The dwarfs of
Du Chaillu and the earlier explorers lived
much nearer to the coast, and the differ
snce in disposition between the various
savage tribes of Africa is quite as marked
as in the civilizedsneoples of Eurone. II

Financial Opportunity.

The undersigned having assumed the
general eastern agency for the sale of the
stock and building lots of the "Muncie
Natural Gas Land Improvement Company"
of Muncie Indiana respectfully offers them
to the pubic, believing this to be an unpar-
aleled oppor unity to make money rapidly
and legitmately on moderate inveS, ,ment-
having spent over three weeks at Muncie
and the offices of the company, looking
over its charming city, its fifty
three manufactures, and its wonder
full natural gas, which warns and lights the
homes of its 10000 people, propels its factor
les, lights its streets, and saves its peope in
fuel and light already over 100000 annual
ly. It's population has doubled in the last
few months and must soon reach $4,000.
Having thoroughly inves igated its affairs
and the standing of lis officers to complete
salts action, the expert prediction is that
the stock which is today offered at SIS per
share, will, inside Of eighteen months COM
mand $3.50, and its building lots increase
in value over fourfold Those who
invest now will get the bottom or ground
floor prices. The man or woman Of moderate
means will receive the same consideration in
purchasing one share of stock or one build
ing lot as the banker or capitalist. All or
ders from this s. ction of the country are
passed to the credit of the Eastern agent,
whether made through him or the officers Of
the company. Al correspondence or invest
ments made will be regarded as strictly con-
fdential, and those dealing here direct may
receive advice and suggestions which
they have neither the time
nor opportunity to devote to at
the general offices of the company. The sub
scriber has taken personally and disposed of
to intimate friends already over So 900
worth Of stock and building lots and respect
fully invites correspondence and personal
visitation at his office, where he will be happy
to extend every courtesy he possesses to IN
quiIers and customers.
Respectfully, FRANK H. BAscoM,

The following tribute to American
valor, as displayed during the dreadful
hurricane at Samoa, is from the London
Telegraph: "Consider the scene and the
matchless heroism and generosity of this
Yankee crew. Almost sure of instant
death themselves, they could see the
Queens ship fighting the hurricane and
appreciate the gallantry of the effort with
the generous pleasure of true mariners.
We do not know in all the naval records
any sound which makes finer music
upon the ear than the cheer of the Tren-
toms men. 1t was distressed manhood
saluting triumphant manhood, the doomed
saluting the saved. 1t was pluckier and
more human than any cry raised upon the
deck of a victorious line-of- battle ship.
It can never be forgotten by Englismen
speaking of Americans. That dauntless
cheer to the Calliope was the expression
of an immortal courage"

One of the curious results of the work
on the Panama Canal is the change in
the climate of Panama and Acapulco.
The tall trees on the heights of Calebra
formerly shut off all wind from the Pan
ANA side of the isthmus. Now these
trees are I'LL cut down and 60 feet of the
mountain top has been sliced off. Hence
the northeast trade winds of the Atlantic
sweep across through this cut and do
much to mitigate the heat of Panama.
With the canal cut down to the origina!
plan Panama might become fairly
healthy plnce,

The situation in Oklahoma is ano ther
evidence of the truth of the saying that
human nature is never satisfied. Men
rush into the new territory and compel
their families to undergo the severest
hardships, fight and slay each other, to
find after all that they were better stu
ated in the old place. Truly, man is of
a few days, and the most of them he
spends making fool of himself.

According to the French astronomer,
the cooling of the terrestrial crust ap
parently goes on more rapidly under the
sea than with land surface. From this
he argues that the crust must thickon
under oceans at much more rapid rate,
so as to give rise to swelling up and
distortion of the thinner portions of the
crust that is forming mountain chains.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEl!,


Some old gardeners claim that
cucumber vines will bear better if they
are topped.
Arrange to raise not only a good
variety, but also full supply of fruit
and vegetables to use during the sea-
son and to store for the winter.
To save olzra for winter use, I cut
the pods while green and tender; cut
in slices, string and dry thom and put
in good paper bags. Keep them dry,
and they are ready for use any time.
Tho snails may give you consider
able trouble when the roses start into
growth, but by placing cabbage leaves
among the plants they may be readily
captured, as they will collect thereon,
and can then be destroyed.
There is no more durable wood
than the Usage orange, and all poles
from old neglected hedges should be
saved for grape, bean and other
stakes, according to a correspondent
Of Orchard and Garden, who thinks it
would pay to grow the Usage for such
purposes.
Perhaps there are just as many
farmers who think that COW having
the run OF a fair pasture in summer is
well fed as there are who believe that
dry hay in winter is liberal ration.
Whatever the proportionate numbers
may be the mistake is about as great
in one case as in the other.
-'Smoly chimneys'' are often
caused by being located on low por-
tions of the building. If adjoining
roofs are as high or higher than the
chimney, currents passing over are
apt to descend. One or two feet added
to the height Of such IL chimney by
pipe or brick will in most cases remove
the difficulty.
Pineapple Cream.-Soak one ounce
of gelatine in water until dissolved;
whip one pint of sweet cream to stiff
froth. Cut the pineapple fine, boil
with one-half pound of pulvcrized
sugar. strain through a colander, add
the dissolved gelatine, set on ice, and
when it thickens, stir until smooth,
then add the whipped cream and mold
Boston Budget.
Press the garden seeds firmly in
the earth with the foot 80 that they
will be brought into close contact with
the dirt, and they will be sure to
grow, whether the season be wet or
dry. They will commence their
growth at once and will be much ear
lier, and have stronger. more vigor-
GUS growth than seeds that have been
left loose in the ground. Western

The great danger of American
agriculture is the loss of fertility-too
much cropping, too little manure
Thus our soils become barren and our
crops meager What We most need
and must have is more fertilizers, and
the cheapest and by far the best for
most Of our farms is barnyard manure
He who secures the most of this will
win in the race, With ensilage properly
put up we can increase our stock one
half; many say the stock can be
doubled. If this is so we score one
and tremendous one for ensilage;
double the stock, double the manure,
double the fertility, and double the
production. Farm and Home.
