I journeyed two days from
home, the first night sleeping under
fodder stack near the roadside. I
had provided myself with eatables
before I left home, which gave out
with my breakfast the second day. I
walked until late that evening, and
being tired and my feet blistered, I
stopped for the night at Mrs. -, in
upper Richland county, whom found
to be a gentle christian lady. She
kindly took me in and gave me sup

name, where I was going, and my
object? To all of which gave eva

so, and she sent me days journey

"A Dogs Way of Asking for Water.

While Spy man was standing in a
drug store, a long-haired pet dog came
in and began to sneeze and cavort
around the soda fountain. The genial
proprietor came out and said: "Ah,
there, you rascal; you after drink of
soda againP' The dog at once began
to sneeze, sit up on his launches, bark,
and show that soda was what he wanted.
The proprietor took a mug. and.
naming syrups of several flavors asked
the dog what he would have, but it
was not until vanilla was named that
the dog said, as we'll as he could, You
bet, that's the stuff" He sat up and
went through all his best tricks until
the foaming beverage was placed be-
fore him on the floor. and then lie
emptied the cup. The dog, having
done this. was happy. Does he drink

also been formed, which has become
quite popular.
There are many other liberal fea-
lures, of which limited space will not
permit an enumeration.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has also adopted a system of relief
similar TO that of the Baltimore & OHIO,
but not so extensive. 1t is entirely
voluntary and numbers over 10000. 1t
rapidly increases in popularity as its
benefits become more appreciated.
In both companies the employees are

on the honesty of a secretary or a

Other systems of relief, but to a
minor extent, have been adopted by
railway companies-notably free hos
pital service for the sick and disabled

How the Laws are Made.

The laws are published in various
forms They are first published in
sheet form, as ''slip laws" as soon as
possible after being received by the
bureau, and numbered in the order of
their receipt. When so published, the
slip laws are given to the editor of
the laws Ca competent person selected
from the legal profession by the Secre-
tary of State and privately employed
for that purpose), who notes marginal
references to previous legislation, az
ranges the acts and resolutions by
chapters" and prepares Il suitable in
dex; and under his editorial care, at
the end of the session of Congress,
they appear again in pamphlet form, as
session law" Lastly, at the close of
Il Congress, the laws of each session
are gathered by the editor into single
volume and bound, as 'Statutes-at-
Large" The numerous readings given
to the printed ''proof," and the careful
comparison with the text of the origin
ais, effectually guard against discrcp-
ancies. The manner in which the De-
partment performs its duty is thorough
" creditable; the manner i'll which
Congress dismisses its work is, in
many instances, absolutely disgrace
full. Some of the rolls received at the
Department are disfgured by erasures,
interlineations, and blots, by errors in
photography, capitalization, and
punctuation, and by hieroglyphic
mangling, that suggests the master
pieces" of schoolboy art. These and
more serious imperfections, once
placed upon the parchment roll, are
law. However glazing the blunder.
however mischievous the distortion or
omission, the State Department is
powerless to add correcting dot or
stroke. Mistakes made by Congress-
ional enrolling clerks have undone
legislation accomplished by Congress
after hours of debate. An item of half
a million dollars for public purposes
was bodily left out in the enrolment
of recent appropriation act; and the
substitution of a comma for a hyphen
in transcribing tariff-measure some
years ago caused loss to the Govern
ment of thousands of dollars before
the error was detected and further loss
arrested by the passage OF another
act. These are but specimen cases. 1t
is humiliating to think that sleepy
or incompetent clerk should be able to
Illustrate the Legislative will of a nation,
and startling to reflect on the oppor-
tunities for fraud by deliberate tam
pering with the public rolls. Blem-
fishes enough are engrafted upon our
statute books by the legislators them
selves. in the shape of careless or un-
wise enactments; surely, if we can not
always have clear craftsmanship, we
should have at least clear pcnmanship
in the parchment record of our laws.
The blame, like the remedy, rests with

Railway Relief Associations.

Seeing as we do the many lines in
the country grouped into large sys-
TENS whose ownership will no doubt
remain stable in years to come, per-
manence of employment and stability
of position is easy to be guaranteed
and the corporations can now better
secure their own rights and strengthen
themselves against the encroachments
of the public by drawing their en-
ployees more closely to them, showing
that paternal care and solicitude for
them which lend to establish good feel
ing and community of interest.
Relief associations under the guild
ance of the companies will do this.
They are flourishing on the Baltimore
81 Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads.
The organizations on those roads may
be taken as the type of what other
companies should do. On the former,
the scheme originated with the elder
Garrett nearly ten years ago. At its
organization all employees could join
without regard to age. After a short
period those over forty-five years and
examination were not allowed to join.
All persons employed regularly by the
company are required to pass medi-
cal examination, must be under forty
five years of age, and must join the re-
lief association. Thus it will be seen
that nearly all their employees are
members. The compulsory feature
looks to an outsider like hardship,
but the obligation is on him only who
seeks employment.
The employees are divided into two
classes-hazardous and non-hazardous;
and these two classes are divided into
five others who pay into fund certain
fixed sums each month, according to
the amount of wages regularly receive

The Spirit of Coquetry.

Edna had a little playmate, fat,
chubby little fellow named Moses. One
day she left her play things and went
to her mothers room, but soon re-
turned with her new white dress part

it dragging on the floor.
"Why, Edna" exclaimed her mother,
''what mischief are you into now?"

A CRUMBLlNc EMPIRE.
/ g Largest of the South African States
Falling to Pieces.

A great native empire in Africa has
en- going to pieces within the last
years and is now the prey of all its
mics. 1t is the empire of Muato
lmvo, whose dominions have en-
aced territory as large as Germany,
d who was heard of scores of years
fore any white man visited Lunda,
lose ruler bears the title of Muata
amvo.
When the CONGO Independent State
was formed, says the New York San,
t was at first intended to embrace in
the entire Congo basin, except
hose small parts of it which had been
appropriated by the French aid Por-
ugese. 1t was though, however, that
Muata YamvO was too powerful per-
;on to NEEDLE with, and it was finally
decided to let him alone. This is the
reason that the Congo state has such
peculiarly shaped southern frontier.
On the map it bears some resemblance
10 Il slice of bread out of which an
urchin has bitten a large mouthful.
The missing chunk is the Muata Yamvo
empire.
1t was the pleasant custom of this
ruler not long ago to dispatch mes
scngers. sometimes hundreds of miles;
to chiefs who had incurred his ill-will.
The messenger would hand knife to
the object of the emperor's wrath, and
intimate that it was the royal will that
lie kill himself No instance has I'M
til recently been reported of a failure
promptly to accomplish this disagree
able duty. But awhile ago some of the
big chiefs began to put on independ-
cnt airs, declined to pay tribute any
longer, and even had the impudence to
refuse to kill themselves when their
thoughtful master sent them the knife.
The troubles of Muata Yamvo began
with the detection of his powerful
chiefs. and this spirit of rebellion in
Lunda has encouraged her enemies to
make forays into the country for all
they could find.

mas done more than any other person
to destroy the once famous Muata
Yamvo. He is Kangombe. the chief
If the LuVale country south of Lunda.
Armed with plenty OF guns his, bands
have swept like cloud of locusts far
over Lunda for three years past, re-
turning home with lots of ivory and
thousands of slaves. Awhile ago Mr..
Arnot followed for several days in the
wake of Kangobe's victoious army, and
saw all the horrors of savage warfare.
1t was six days after KangOmbe's
soldiers had passed over the road, and
vet Arnot found that some of his vic
Tins who had been left to perish were
still alive. Some were tied to trees
with bark cords, and others were mutt
lated so that they could not walk.
Muata Yamvo has sent three armies
to fight Kangombe, but they had only
native weapons, and melted away be-
fore the firearms of the enemy. And
here curious fact may be mentioned.
Weakened by his many reverses and
stripped of his territory the Muata
Yamvo has accepted a protectorate
offered by Portugal. And yet it is the
munitions of war that have poured in
to Portuguese ports and sold by Por-
tuguese traders to his enemies that
have reduced the Muata Yamvo to his
present impoverished condition.
