FREAKS IN AFRICA.
Curiosities Enough in the Dark Con-
tinent to Start Museum.

Mr.. Carl Steckelmann, who lived sey
eral years i'll West Africa, made larg,
collection of curiosities- illustrating thu
arts, habits, and superstitions of the ma.
tlves. His collection, which is now il
Indiana, where he lives, has attracted
attention, and there were many visitors
to the museum which he opened in IL
annapolis last winter. There are cui-
osities of other sorts, however, in Ill
parts of Africa, and it would not take
smart Snowman long to pick up fre$s
enough on the west coast to stocla
dozen museums.
Entirely outside the dwarf tribes, wo
are among the strangest people in te
world, explorers find here and the
little folks of advanced years who ae
made much of and are usually seen
the residence of some chief. Only on
of these little fellows has been honord
with much attention in records of trave
and his picture appears in Speke's stol
OF his discovery of the Nile sources. OF
the west coast Dolxo dwarfs may some
times be seen in the crowds along tn
shore when vessel arrives Mr.. A. ID
Ellis was Of the opinion that with on
of khese dwarfs, a boy he saw with twI
siomachs, few Albinos, who are by nj
means uncommon, and two or tire
horned men he could set up dime mu
keum of no mean pretensions.
n The horned men, sad to relate, wea
3 &eir horns not on their foreheads, bu
9 their cheek bones. They belong t.
Il small tribe that is found north 0

Examined two of these men a feV
Papdf IS ago, decided that the excrescence
thSsheir cheeks were of an osseous nf

have made good their escape. Man
travellers in the early days recorde
marvellous stories of Africans who wo
tails, but none of the chroniclers hi
salt enough to catch them. The fan
of the tribe as wearers of tails was sprea
far and wide in Africa long before

FOR GATHERING APPLES.

An implement for gathering apples has
been in use in Western New York for one
or two seasons, and it Is highly spoken
of by the fruit growers who have tested
it. 1t is q large, open canvas receptacle,
into which the apples are shaken from
the tree, it being arranged SO that the
apples are collected in padded basket,
into which they are gently delivered with
out bruising each other. The frame is
carried around the tree by two men, while
two others shake the tree, and a fifth
man is kept busy removing the apples. It
is said that the harvesting of an apple
crop can be done with it for half the
expense of hand picking. But cheapness
is not the only nor the chief recommen-
dation Of the implement. Apple pick
ing is long operation in large orchard,
and some of the fruit must be picked
before it is ripe, If it is all gathered.
This green fruit does not sell as well nor
keep as we'll, and, besides this, the
growth, which is always considerable to-
ward the time of ripening, is lost. Many
large apple growers assert that the ma
chine pays for itself in single season,
and that it is as indispensable to them as
mower orreaper to an ordinary farmer.
A PRACTICAL MAN TELLS HOW HE GoT
EGGS EVERY DAY LAST WINTER.
\ In the first place, hens should never be
crowded in their winter quarters; second,
corn should never be fed to laying hens,
as it contains no elements that assist in
egg production and is only fit for the fat
tening process. Now, for my method,
not theoretically given, but as practical
experience. / got eggs every day last
winter and expect to this winter. My
houses are not artificially heated, nor are
they so warm as to keep water from freez-
ing in them; but they are tight enough
to turn all .draughts and the windows are
supplied with tight shutters. The apart
ments are eight feet square and are in
tended to hold not more than twelve
hens. The floor is of dry dirt, covered
about foot deep with clean, dry straw.
This should be forked over every two or
three days and changed for fresh as often
as necessary. In the morning / give a
warm feed consisting Of bran middlings,
very small portion Of oatmeal and the re-
fuse scraps from the table, stirred up in
hot milk. feed only what they will eat
up clean; then, about ten o'clock, two or
three good handfuls of wheat, oats or
barley are thrown into the straw; this
keeps them busy scratching for the rest
of the day. A hen must be given pleney
&c overoica. che ic c,,ra to hoco,,a too fof
to lay if she has nothing to do but stand
around and eat. sOh, well, " some peo-
pie would say, call this is too much
trouble; it won't pay" All right, then,
| If it don't pay to sell eggs at thirty five
hand forty cents per dozen, there is no
money in poultry at all. But there is
MONEY IN it, as hundreds Of successful
poull rymen will amply prove, Kansas
