NATIVE AFRICAN BOYS
Being Educated in Central Tennessee

Being Educated in Central Tennessee
College. t'f#"@
We present this week an admirable
sketch of five native African bows.
President Braden, of Central Tennessee
College, Nashville, Tenn, where these
boys are attending school, gives the fol.
lowing account: ....... ...'5 O..
Momolu Massaqui (Albert Thompson) :,
the oldest of these boys, is member of
the Vey tribe, dwelling on the west
coast of Africa. He was educated in the
Episcopalian school in Sierra Leone.
He was brought to this country by Bish-
op Punnick, of Louisville, KY, over two
years ago, and by him sent to the Gen.
trail Tennessee College to complete his
literary course, and to study medicine,
| before he returns to his native land.
He speaks English we'll, and also his ma
tive tongue, and has some knowledge of
the Arabic. He is heir to the chieftain-
ship of his tribe. He is very dark COM
plexioned; pleasant expression of coun-
tenance; none of the marked Negro fea-
lures; is gentlemanly in department;
and is an excellent student in whatever
study he undertakes. He Is a member
of the Episcopalian Church, and does
Christian work with the Young Mems
Christian Association OF the college.
Benjamin Payne is fifteen years old,
and is member of the Bassa tribe.
He is Christian, and gives evidence of
! it in his conduct and spirit. He had
received some training in Miss Sharp's
school, at Monrovia. He has no diff
Guilty In keeping up with his classes in
school. He left Monrovia, with three
others. last December, and reached
Nashville in January. All these-Frank
Payn, Harold Wood, and Gilbert
Haven-are from Miss Sharp's school,.
Frank and Harold are of the Kroo
tribe; are very dark. rather stout-built,
and are thirteen and eight years old
respectively. Frank i. has attended a
feast of the cannibals of his tribe, and
tasted the flesh, which he says was good.
Frank has strong body and will, and
exhibits some of the traits # an dndis-
ciplined boy. Harold is quiet boy,
and, when he can bave his own way, is
very good. .s"''@'.
Gilbert Haven is the Dey tribe; Is of
coffee color; bright, active, fun-loving
boz of eight years; can read and write a
little; has hard work to make us under
stand what he wants at times, as his
knowledge of English is rather limited.
He is willing to get his lessons, and be.
hayes in school with much more de-
corum than some boys who have had
their birth in Christian land. set@
When together. these Africans use
their native language nearly altogether.
They all seem to understand that they
are here to be educated for teachers of
their people in Africa. Il

Enrichment Without Manure.

In the absence of barnyard manure
and wood ashes for orchards and other
grounds-the best application wherever
available--The Country Gentleman sug-
gests, as at least partial substitute the
ploughing under of green crops sup
plemented by use of certain commercial
substances:
Clover is excellent; the only objection
is, it requires that cultivation of the
trees cease for one season while the clio
yer, root and stem, makes an ample
growth Large trees are not much af-
feeted by year or two of cessa-
ton, and old trees soon recover.
Winter rye is valuable. and may
he grown without cultivation eeasing a
single season. For example, if pota-
toes are grown among the trees. which
may be dug in September, they leave Il
fresh mellow surface for the rye. This
should be sown, three bushels to an
acre, and will form fine dense growth
before the winter. by middle of May
it will be two feet OF more high. and
Just ready to protrude its heads. A
heavy chain attached to the whipple
trees will cause the plough 10 turn it
completely under, and corn, root crops
and other vegetable growth may follow.
which may preccde another green crop
1t is important that the rye be buried
before the heads are fully formed, be
cause the woody fibre hardeus rapidly,
and the vegetable matter will not readily
decay into vegetable manure Nitrate
of soda applied ut the rate Of a few hun
bred pound. AN acre will add to the nj
trogcn. At the same time lime may be
spread on the laGd, if lime has proved to
la useful; and instead Of ashes, muriate
of potash may be used. Zone manure, as
ground bone, or as superphosphate.w will
be Il useful addition on most soils, or to
such rs are benefited with bone. But ii
must not be forgotten that "A clean. mel
low, cultivated soil is specially import
ant for young orchards, instead of a
hard grassy. wecdy surface of clods and
hard crust; and that for an old orchard
u closely g-azcd surface with an annual
topdrcssing of fertilizers is equally es-
scntial.
