A Stanley Reminiscence.

| remember on one occasion, when ]
was staying with Stanley at Leopoldville,
Congo State Africa, he invited me to
accompany him on cruise round Stanley
Pool. He had arranged to meet an i'm
portant chief named Ngantshu, on an
island in that lake-like expansion Of the
Congo. Ngantshu had hitherto been
reported as decidedly hostile to Stanley's
advance up river, but meeting was ar
ranged and Ngantshu had come down
the river some 100 miles to see "Bula
Matadin and confer with him. lie
arrived escorted by a number of canoes
and many followers and show of state.
Above all, he brought with him his an
cestral fetish, a horrid-looking object
made of a monkeys skull and red clay,
studded with cowries and hung with
little bells. This thing, to his mind and
bringing up," embodied the spirits of
his departed ancestors, and must be
treated with great consideration and re-
spect. Libations of palm wine must be
poured over its head when it is thirsty,
and chewed up food spat into its mouth
when it was anhungered The fetish
was introduced deprecatingly to "Bula
Matadi." Instead of doing as so many
needless explorers would have done
rudely laughing and saying: "What
nonsense! Ask him why he be
lieves in such rot?' Stanley
gravely sent for camp chair
and respectfully seated the fetish in it,
SO that Ngantshu's ancestors might be
present at the conference, and when
Ngantshu squlrted palm wine over the
beaded skull OF the fetish and spat
chewed-up fish and manioc into its grin
ming mouth, Stanley, with serious
face, followed suit with weak claret and
water and minced chicken. The result
was that Ngantshu signed treaty and
was forever after Stanley's friend. No
doubt, long since the Baptist missona-
lies CT the rathers of the Catholic mis-.
sion established at the mouth of the Kwa
have taught Ngantshu that his ancestral
fetish is foolish and useless and dirty,
and have gently persuaded him to put it
away, but this result would not have
been easier brought about had Stanley,
on his first acquaintance, commenced by
ieering and hOuting the sayage's belief.
That Stanley has constantly acquired the
sympathy and respect of Africans those
who have seen him at work can testify,
and therefore it is that those who know
him to be dead, for his decease, even in
the heart of Africa-the death of "Stam-
lee" "Standili," "Mzungu Mkubwa," ="
"NIuudele Munene," "Bula Matadi"-
would have made such a reimbursement
among the natives that the noise and
news of it would have reached our ears.

The Buffalo Moth.

One of the most destructive insects
that exists is the buffalo moth. For a
long time entomologists have been trying
to find something that will destroy these
little pests, but have been unsuccessful.
One now says that gasoliue, naphtha and
benzine are equally ellicacious. 1t is the
grub of the moth that does the mischief.
1t measures a little less than an eighth of
an inch in length. 1t is dark in color
and slightly hairy, and has a bright line
of red down the centre of its body. 1t
feeds on the pollen of various shrubs
and is particularly found of spirea. 1t
is not wise to have a bush of this plant
near the house. The beetle will fly from
it into the house and lay its eggs in any
woolen substance it can find, particularly
in the edges of the carpets. 1t is a good
thing for housckeepers to place camphor
or pepper under the carpets and make
it as disagreeNble for the moths as they
can. They will then very probably move
to more welcome quarters. If these
moths or beetles once get into house il
is very hard indeed to get them out again.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Putting Down Pork.

This is the season when in most farm
ers' homes pork and beef are packed for
use duling the year. 1t requires some
care to do this so as to certainly avoid
loss. The bloody pieces, and all parts
in which particle of blood is attached,
should be put one side for immediate
use, by boiling for mince meat or used
for sausage. Blood will cause the whole
barrel to spoil and become worthless.
Use plenty of salt. After the pieces
have been in pickle two or three weeks
take them out and rub them with salt
petre. This will harden the surface and
prevent taking too much salt. If any
scum rises on the brine boil it and skim
off all that rises and then repack. -

A Fortune in q Volcano.

Two years ago Mr.. William Cooper
left New York for the southern part of
old Mexico with limited capital but un-
tiring energy. To-day he has a fortune
that will keep him the rest of his life in
luxury. The fortune he found in place
where the average man would sooner ex-
pect to find cabbages-the crater of an
extinct volcano. Yet in that crater Mr..
Cooper found a mass of Mexican mosaic
agate such as scientists had never even
imlginedas as existent, and better than
that, he found in New \ ork a ready mar
ket for the agate he discovered in the
old Mexican volcano, 450 feet below the
mouth of the crater and about 900
feet above the sea level Mr.. Cooper
tells the story of his long rides and
searches for evidences Of the agate he be-
lieved to be in existence; the Indian who
found piece, brought it to him and
finally guided him to the volcano; his
subsequent lease of the estate, the quar-
rying in the old crater and his efforts to
establish means for the transportation of
the agate from its bed to the nearest
point Of shipment 1SO miles through the
mountains of old Mexico.
Those who have seen samples of the
agate declare it to be the most beautiful
natural production ever discovered. Its
commercial value is undoubted, as a big
New York firm has bought the entire
output for something more than s 50O,-
00O, and will control the market. This
firm has already sold single mantel-
piece Of the agate for $4,000. Mr. Cooper
will return to Mexico shortly, and
while there will make close search for
amber, which he believes to be deposit
ed in large quantities in the vicinity of
his agate mine.-Nel0 YOrk Graphic.
