The German Explorer of the :. Dark
Continent

Almost simultane ously with the arrival
of Captain Wissman in Zanzibar comes the
information that Stanley is travelling to-
ward Zanzibar with 1000 persons. The
two events give special prominence just
now to African affairs.
Troubles of the East African Company
with the natives led to the sending out Of
Captain Wissman as Imperial COmmissary
for the German sphere of interest on the
continent He is soldier, and his work
in Africa is to preserve order in the terri
tory leased out by the Sultan of Zanzibar
to the East African Company, which the
Sultan himself has failed to do.
Captain S. Wissm an was born in West
phalia some forty years ago. His travels
and explorations in Africa have extended
over seven years. He traced the river
Kassai from its source to its cODf1ux with
the Congo, and his explorations have done
much toward opening up the southern part
of the Congo Free State. Last year he was
awarded the great gold medal of the Roy al
Geographical Society. At the meeting of
the British Association at Bath last year.
the president of the Geographical Section,
Sir Charles Wilson, in his opening address
spoke in warm terms of Captain Wissman,
who was then on the point of starting on
an expedition, since abandoned for the
relief of Emin Pasha. Captain Wissman
hates the slave trade and his mission will
be to pursue anti slavery measures.

Poisoning From Tooth Plates.

DIR. David Genese, in Annals of Hygiene.
The coloring matter of rubber false
teeth plates is chiefly some oxide of metal
that of lead being of bright red, while
the oxides of bismuth, antimony, alumni
mum and manganese will give the rubber
the brown color running to maroon and
the pink is obtained from analine colors.
But it is not in the metallic oxides used in
preparation of rubber that dam
ger lies las the percentage
of rubber sore mouths is so
small-one in 5O,O0O-but in the vulcani-
zation itself, which instead of converting
the prepared rubber as received from the
depots into vulcanite, can be, by careless
ness, converted into a porous plate, con-
tainlng hundreds Of thousands Of minute
holes, each able to absorb and retain the
fermentation from food products and by its
presence constantly against the tissues of
the mouth cause blood poison. This por-
osity is caused by Overheating the rubber,
thereby converting the sulphur in the mass
into sulphurous acid, destroying the fiber
of the rubber by decomposition and set
ting free the metallic oxides. Where
as, if rubber is cured or vulcanized
properly at temperature not exceeding
two hundred and eigty to three hundred
degrees Fahrenheit, it will retain its elastic
fibres intact; the sulphur will be in its
natural state, permeating the rubber and
holding the colOripg matter SO hermeti-
cally sealed in its substance that no moist
ure will dissolve, even strong sulphuric acid
will not touchit.
1t is the duty of those making rubber
plates to attend to these details in the pro-
cess of manufacture, but where cheap
dentistry is sought after, hurry is the re-
suit and the consequence very dangerous.

A Story About Wendell Phillips.

Arlo Bates In the Book Buyer.
A gentleman who knew them both re-
Gently repeated to me the following bit of
dialogue as having been said to taken place
between Wendell Phillips and Thomas G
Appleton, when they were young briefless
barristers. He did not vouch for it, but
he believed it to be genuine. The fact that
both Appleton and Phillips were looked
upon as aristocrats prevented their having
business, and one day Appleton asked his
friend whether be had any clients
Not Client" was the reply.
How long," Appleton asked, 'are you
going to hold on? Pm getting pretty tired
OF it myself"
u think I'll try it six months longer" ("
Phillips answered, 'and if 1 don't get a
start by that time l shall take up cause"
As matter of fact Mr.. Phillips did take
up cause, as all the world knows, while
Mr.. Appleton became the most charming
dilettanti, but whether the choice of the
former was the result of determination
so deliberate as this anecdote would imply
may well be doubted.

Which is the More Healthful.

The Lewiston, Me-, Journal raises the
question as to whether town or country
life is more healthful by relating the fol-
lowing circumstance: Something over
three years ago man in Augusta bought
a farm and settled down with his wife, nine
children, mother, and brother-in-law to
enjoy life For seventeen years the family
had lived in tenement house and during
the time had never experienced days
sickness. Naturally they looked for even
better health on farm, and the brother
in-law soon sckened and died of consump-
tiop. A short time afterward another
child was born, which soon died of con-
cumption, followed by its mother in few
months Then the grandmother of the
children died of the same disease, and last
Saturday the father"

A WhOpper.

In the year 1854, says Southern paper,
Louisiana regiments came home with one
of the young men und spent his furlough
at Vineland The soldier had pet rattle
snake about two feet long, which he car
ried in an inside pocket of his shirt. The
soldier would whistle to the snake Dixie, "
Bonnie Blue Flag" and other popular war
tunes, which always had noticeable effect
on the little snake. He used the root of
some kind of herb as a charm, and a
circle made on the fl or or ground with the
root the snake would not dare attempt to
cross.
One day while out in the fald after
fodder for his horse, the soldier placed a
snake in his hat and put it upon the fence,
first running his root around the brim of
the hat, so that the snake could not crawl
out; but there came a puff of wind and
blew the hat off the fence, and the infu-
ence of the charm being removed, the
snake crawled og into the swamp near at
hand. The prettiest thing about the
snake was that be was BEAUTIFULLY tattooed
with different colored inks.
4uO uolC vi lhO chdaV, OICA LILO III
itials of the soldier and his regiment and
company and c. s. A. were beautifully and
legibly tatooed on the back of the snake.
AS time passed on and lifted the war
clouds and let in the sunshine of peace and
prosperity no more was thought of the SOL
dier and his little rattlesnake "Dck" In
1886, twenty years after the war, a negro
woman in passing the swamp discovered q

killed, was found to have twenty six
rattles and two buttons, and the hide
when stuffed held three pecks of bran. but

are we to know that it was Dick ?" Why.

Peach Pits for Fuel.

1t has been demonstrated in Vaca valley
that peach stones will make as good a fire
for household purposes as the best coal in
the market. The fruit growers, instead of
throwing the pits away as heretofore, dis
pose of them at the rate of S6 ton A
sack of the stones will weigh about eighty
pounds, last as long as an equal weight of
coal and give greater intensity of heat.
At many OF the orchards in the valley may
be seen great stacks of peach ard apricot
stones which will eventually find their way
to San Francisco and other places to be
sold for fuel. The apricot stone does not
burn 80 readily as the peach. and will not
command so good price. AS soon as the
owners find they have market for the
stones, greater number of pes ches will be
dried than heretofore.

A wealthy young banker, Mr.. E. J.

that Montana is just getting under way to

of political life. THE State election that
we are to hold next fall" he says, has
brought to the surface such horde of

that almost every one appears to be get

to even hint at the possible successful
man.
Mr.. Carter is one of the leading mine
owners of his country Of this industry he
says:
THE temporary stagnation of the mining
business in Montana for the past several
years has deceived people. 1t wasn't be-
cause mining was oveIdone, or because the
product was not profitable. 1t was on ac-
count of the lack of smelling facilities, and
the exhorbitant charges incurred in ship
ping ore to Omaha or down 70 Aurora for
treatment. A year ago it cost us from $40
to $26 to reduce ton CT ore. But in the
past year two of the largest smelters in the
world have been butt in the
mining districts, and the cost OF
the work is now about $14.
1t has given boom to mining stock. Fa-

Ancient Battering Rams.

They exerted greater power than any
gnu or cannon invented up to the year
1860 These battering rams were probably
as effective in knocking down a wall or
stavipg in the side of ship as the best
modern cannon, but for making a breach
the guns are far superior. Such was the
solidity and thickness of the walls of
Jerusalem that, Josephus tells us, it took
all of one night for an enormous battering-
ram to dislodge four stones!
Vitruvius has left us the description of a
ram weighing 100000 pounds, but prob
ably the most celebrated of all the ancient
moving tower rams was that constructed
by Demetrius POliorcetes at the siege Of
Rhodes. The base of the tower was seven
ty-five feet square. The ram itself was an
assembly of large square beams resting on
wheels in size proportioned to the weight
of the structure, aud all rivited together
with iron. The felloes of the wheels were
three feet thick and strengthed with iron
plates. From each of the four angles of
the tower large pillar of wood was carried
up to height Of $50 feet. and
these pillars were inclined to-
ward one another. The tower had
three stories, communicating by two stair
cases each Three sides OF the machine
were plated with iron to protect them
against fire. In front of each story there
were loop-holes, screened by leather cur
tains, to keep out darts, arrows, etc. Each
story was provided with machines for
throwing large stones and darts; and in the
lower story was the ram itself, thirty faith
oms long, and fashioned at the end into an
iron beak or prov. The entire machine
was moved forward by $500 soldiers.
But it can easily be understood that
among so many men some must be more
or less exposed to the enemy's darts and
arrows; and so, to drive the en3my from
the walls and open places, to break the
roofs of his houses, and otherwise annoy
him, machines were necessary for throwing
missiles, from small darts up to huge
bowlders-From Ancient and Modern

Whe New York City commentaries, this

Mother of States and undiminished men,
Thou gavest a country, giving him,
And we owe always what we owed thee then.
And yet the plain people" of his time
should not be denied the merit, great in
any people, of a prompt and whole-souled
recognition of their ide al in the great man as
he came into their horizon. They did notk kill
the prophet who had been sent to them,
but followed him reverently, affectiOnately,

place of honor after another was thrust
upon him, and not one of them with the
trace of an effort TO obtain it. His most
confidential CORE spondence shows invaria-

Have our people changed their ideal or

1t would seem that one or other of these

history in which a vacancy in Office is a
signal for self-se eking candidates
for nominations on either side
to publish and push their elaine" to
trumpet the superiority of their chances,
to have other committees, warkers, news
paper organs, and all the other apparatus
of selflaudation, carefully overseen by
themselves and paid for by themselves or
their admirers. Is this the way in which
the American people of this generation is
condemned to seek and discover its ideal ?
