what do you meanp


From an article under the above title in
The Century, by one of Stanley's former
officers, we quote the following: On the
Congo there are no beasts of burden, there
existing merely a manual transport, the
porters being the natives of the Bakongo
tribe, inhabiting the cataract regions. In
physique these men are slight and only poorly
developed but the fact of their carrying ON
their head from sixty to one hundred pounds
weight twenty miles day for sometimes six
consecutive days, their only food being each
day "A little manioc root, an ear or two of
maize or handful of peanuts, pronounces
them at once as men of singularly sound
stamina. Small boys of eight and nine years
old are frequently enough met carrying
loads of twenty-five pounds weight
Throughout the cataract region the general
accepted money currency is Manchester cot
ton cloth made up into pieces of six yards
each. The European cost of the cloth paid
to these natives for transporting a load to
Stanley Pool from Matadi, including rations,
amounts at the present day to S. for load
of sixty-fve pounds. Five years ago the cost
was only one-third of this amount, but it has
increased on account of the opposition of the
various trading houses that have established
stations at Stanley Pool for the ivory trade
on the upper river.

Pyramid, another Sunset Peak, and still
others The Sphinx, Westminster Abbey and
The Beehive
Solomon's Temple is considerably over a
mile high, and the denudation and wearing
of the rock by water has been such that Il
represents an enormous pile of architecture,
with sculptured bastions, harmonious in its
proportions, with great terraces at its base.
and growing smaller toward the top On
the very top, in the center, is a pyranlidal
peak iii exact proportions. This sculptured
pile is from two to four miles across the
facade, and to see these things standing up
and against the clear, cloudless blue of the
Arizona sky, produces an indescribable effect.
Sunset Peak goes up like dome 5000 feet,
and, when the sun sets clear and has entirely
disappeared behind the mountains, its reflect
ed light rests on this topmost peak and trans
forms it into minaret of gold--a heavenly
light indeed
Another architectural piece goes by the
name of Babel's Tower, and is 5000 feet
high, and this has beautiful sculptured but
tresses. The Castle on the Rhine is the same
height.
The Pyramid is 1900 feet above the river.
and the river is 100 feet above the sea.
Some of these cliffs of even terraces and
strata rise almost perpendicularly to height
of 2, 500 feet and as high up as the eye can
detect a variety of plants, including cacti,
perch and thrive in the crevices Some va
rieties of flowers bloom the year round in the
canyon, so mild is the temperature, even in
mid-winter
Of course it is impossible for any visitor to
appreciate the magnitude of this scene of
ruin and desolation. The chimney on the
top of perfect pyramid, that was sixty feet
square by actual measurement, looks to be
the size Of an ordinary chimney.
The full beauty of Westminster Abbey, and
its likeness to its venerable, ivy grown name
sake, is very striking, only it is far more
wonderful structure.
Just before reaching it, and on the same
side of the canyon, is the Temple of Jupiter,
and it is unquestionably one of if not the finest
parts of the canyon. 1t is mighty pile of
stupendous harmony and sculpturing, the
central facade bearing multitude of sphinxes
and classical images.
On the opposite side is ''Moses Striking the
Rock" the outline of the great statue at one
point being very lifelike.
On the top of one cliff is The Prophet at
Prayer-a kneeling figure with outstretched
hands; and there are many features not yet
named awaiting christening from the clever
and acute visitors yet to come.-Golden Days.

She Wanted Small Change.

She was sweet faced, demure little woman,
and as she sat in the ladies' waiting room of
the Pennsylvania railroad, in Jersey City,
more than one man had his eyes on her and
wondered who she was. BY and by young
man in a check suit and carrying great deal
of cheek took circIit around and sat down
beside her. He had scarcely dropped into
the seat before she gave him sweet smile
and inquired if he would please do her great
favor.
"Ah! with all the pleasure in the world, "
he made haste to reply.
IL want some small change, and if you will
be so kind as to take this bill and"-
"Certainly-certainly happy to do
so,n he said as he received it and started for
the ticket office He handed it in without
looking at it and asked for change, but the
ticket man showed ii back with the remark
Wonder how many more fools she will
strike before her train goes?"
"What do you mean"
"Looll at that BILL"
1t was IS Confederate note; and as the
young man stood staring at it with blinking
eyes the ticket man added:
"You are the fifth one within two hours.
She brought ,em along for just such an emer-
gency, and The proper thing for you to do is
to take a back seat and make yourself as
small as possible until your train goes"
The crushed young man did even better
than that, he left the depot altogether, and
his demeanor was that of a man who intend
ed to hunt up a pile driver and let the ham
mer fall upon him half dozen times. New

Rheumatism.

REING due to the presence of uric
- acid in the blood, is most effectually
cured by the use Of Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. Be sure you get Ayers and 10
other, and take it till the poisonous
acid is thoroughly expelled from the
system. We challenge attention to this
testimony -
"About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
govt, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, saw by an advertise
ment in Chicago paper that man had
been relieved Of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. / then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and ann
pleased TO state that it has effected a
complete cure. l have since had no re-
turn of the disease. - Mrs. II. Irving

Ventilation of Public Buildings,

A very common mistake in the ventilation
of churches and schoolhouses, and public
buildings generally, is made when those in
charge fail to open all the windows immedi-
ately after the buildings have been vacated,
says Annals of Hygiene. The exhalations
from the lungs and the emanations from the
body, being light, will float for while in the
atmosphere before failing to the floor, and il
the windows.be opened at once, so that a.cur-
rent of air crosses the hall, many of them will
be carried out. If, however, as is usually the
case, the windows are not opened for some
hours, may be not until the next day, these
particles, settling upon the floor, are not
carried away, but when the hall is again oc-
cupied they are disturbed by the feet, thrown
up into the atmosphere and inhaled by the
lungs from which they have been exhaled the
day before.
