A CHILD'S QUEER SLEEP.
How a Cyclone Affected a PENNSYLVANIA
Girl.

A strange case is puzzling everybody at
Franklin. Pa, physicians included. 1t is SEEM
ingly the result of the cyclone that passed over
Victory township May 10. Since the day of
the disaster one of the Welton children has
slept every other three days. For three
days and nights Immediately after the disaster
the child did not sleep wink, then she went
to sleep and remained so for three days, all
efforts to arouse her proving in vain. No
amount of noise or even pinching while in
these sleeps disturbed her in the least. When
her arms are placed in any position they will
remain so until changed by some cause
other than that which comes from her. The
muscles will hold the body in any position
placed. even to delicate feats of balancing
When the child awGkes from these spells she
declares she heard the rushing of the winds
and the smash and crash of the trees and house
just as they sounded on the day of the disaster
and that she plainly sees them as they were
huddled together when the storm struck their
home. A number OF physicians have examined
her, but cannot account for these strange spells
When awake the child seems to enjoy good
health. eating, playing and doing chores
about the place the same as before thus at

THE PARTITION OF AFRICA.

reach the recently acquired Italian possessions.
The British East African Company the in
terest in Great Britain chiefly concerned in this
agreement. and it is safe to say that we shall
not hear a word of complaint from that COM
pany that Lord Salisbury has not ably looked
out for the interests of his country.
But this is not all. England has already, with
the consent of the native Chiefs established a
protectorate over the tribes OH the west coast
Of Lake Nyassa. Last weeks agreement as
serts that the Stevenson road ID hers, and this
is a distinct declaration that the country south
of that road and between the Congo State and
Lake Nyassa is reserved for England. Thus
another great region, only partially explored.
and containing one of the largest Zambes
tributaries, comes under British influence; and
there is every reason to believe that before
great while England will do what the British
South African Company desires-extend this
new British sphere across the middle Zambesi
to the vast region north and west OF the two
Boer republics which have been taken under
the protecting wing of Great Britain.
The French occupy the region in the north
west corner OF our map. 1t will be seen from
the map that the boundaries between the
regions claimed by the various powers
throughout the interior of the southern part
of the continent have now been quite clearly
defined, except in the region of the upper and
middle ZambeZL Portugal has put forward
rather mild claim to this stretch of territory
clear across the continent, but, as she has
never occupied the central portions of the
country, neither Germany nor England is pre-
pared to recognize the claim.
On the whole, England's share of inner
Africa gives the best promise of future finan-
cial returns. A great part of her territory
north and east of Victoria NyanZa is from
5000 to 5000 feet above the sea. Stanley said
in recent address that in equatorial Africa
the lands adapted for cattle generally begin at
an altitude of about $500 feet above the sea,
but the best and most nourishing grasses are
found above 1000 feet. When the railroad is
built. for which the British East African Com
pany are already shipping material there is no
doubt that many thousands of cattle may be
profitably reared for export on the great
NASSAU plateau. very considerable portion
of the British protectorate north and west of
the Limpopo river is high, fine, comparatively
healthfu country, while the northeast part OF
1t is supposed to be one of the best gold re-
gions III Africa. The German protectorate in
southwest Africa is very largely sand and is
valuable only for the mineral possibilities of

led to leave the lake regions for states

decided to leave the lake regions for states
men of the future to quarrel over.
But events have moved with unexpected ra-
pidity and the question of the big lakes came
very abruptly to the front few weeks ago.
Mwanga, the tyrant of Uganda. BUNDLED by a
season of exile, has been restored to his throne
with the aid OF the whites, and he turned q
willing ear to the Establishments of the Ger
man. DR.. Peters, who arrived OPPORTUNITY on
the scene, eager to secure fertile Uganda for
Germany. Emin, whom Stanley dragged I'M
willingly to the coast, said his country could
and ought to be reclaimed and he posted back
in the pay of Germany and with large cara
van to take possession. A great hue ana cry
went up from the British East African Com
pany who had invested an enormous capital In
the British sphere. Here were the Germans
stealing around behind the line dividing the
two spheres and about to grab the lake coun-
tries north of the line. The British company
was to be cut off from the populous interior,
robbed of the countries naturally tributary to
its coast Something had to be done and the
present agreement Is the result of the clamor
in England in behalf of the interests of the
British East African Company.
This is what has been done and the proceed
ing may be followed on the map. The old line
of demarcation, which strikes the east shore of
Victoria Nyanza at l. south latitude, has
been extended straight across the lake along
that parallel. Then 1t takes a turn to the south
west around Mount Mfumbiro and joins the
boundary OF the Congo State. The British
have Stanley to thank for the fact that the
boundary line makes that curious bend south of
Mount Mfumbro. When he was on the way
home with Emin he found the country between
Muta NZIge and this mountain a very rich and
prosperous region for equatorial Africa. The
population is dense, cattle Craze by the
thousand and valuable salt mines are found.
Stanley improved the chance to make treaties
with the chiefs of this country, placing them
under British protection, and his treaties have
been respected in the agreement.
This arbitrary line, therefore, from the ocean
to the Congo State forms the northern boun-
dairy of the German sphere. Fully three
fourths of the coast line of Victoria Nyanza is
German. The Germans have gained the entire
country between Victoria Nyanza and Lake
Tanganyika. most of the western part of which
is as yet wholly unknown. The east coast Of
Tanganyika is theirs, while on the opposite
shore the blue flag of the Congo State will
wave. 1t was necessary to draw still another
arbitrary line to fix the southwest boundary of
Germany. This is how it was done:

loving hands more like a home than a grave.
The monument is divided into two parts-the

which has steamboats, on Lake Nyassa, wanted
TO make o wagon road between Tanganyika
and Nyassa FOR The purpose of extending its
trade TO the northern lake. A wealthy Scotch.
man named Stevenson supplied the funds, and
James Stewart well known for his careful map
of Lake Nyassa. surveyed the route. and then.
beginning at Nyassa. prepared 40 miles of
the road for wagons Owing to his untimely
death the work was then suspended and has
never been resumed. In the agreement Great
Britain retains the so-called Stevenson road,
and line from Nyassa to Tanganyika, Just
north of il, marks the limit of the German
sphere in this direction. Then the German
boundary follows around the north end Of
Nyassa and down the east coast of the lake
to nearly its middle point. where the Rovumu
river, extended in a straight line to the LAKE
forms the southern boundary.
A curious feature of this arrangement Is that

A Tender Association.

From the Providence Telegram.
At his lecture on ministers and Preaching

stories OF ministers OF the past. One about DIR.
Jeter Was especially good. DIR. Jeter, when he
became worked up in preaching and was the
most eloquent had a habit OF putting whine
INTO ms voice which as near resembled tears in
the voice as possible. Once when the tears
were especially strong during sermon the
good old doctor noticed lady weeping IN the
audience. As soon the services were over
ne hastened TO overtske the lady and ask her
what part OF the divine word touched her to
tears.
" WASN'T that, said the lady,
Have you had some deep affection in los
ing family friends?" said the doctor.
"'Twasn't that neither" said the lady
Well what was it?' asked the doctor.
We'll, doctor. We had a mule and il was a
good one, too. We all liked that mule, and he
died; and while you were preac hing yonr voice
sounded SO much like that mules that couldn't
help crying"
