Men Who Have Crossed Africa.

A Brussels correspondent of the Vos.
sischc Zeitung has made a list of the ex.
plorcrs who have crossed Africa. From
1902 to 1911 the feat was accomplished
by . Portuguese, Honorato de Costa; in
1898 and 1852 by Francesca Coimbra and
Silva Porto; 1854 by Livingston; 1865,
Gethard Rohlfs; 1874, Lieut.. Cameron
and Stanley: then by Serpa Pinto, the
Italians Mattenio and Massari; Lieut..
Wissmann, who crossed from st. Paul dc
Loanda to Sadani IN the cast coast in
1882 to 1884; the Scotch missionary
Arnat, the Portuguese, Capella and
Evans; the Swedish Lieut.. Gleerup, who
needed the last time, crossing from
Stanley Falls to Bogamoyo in six months:
the Austrian, DR.. SEM; Stanley for the
second time, and finally Capt. Trivier,
the French traveller. The first explorer
was ten years, the latter scarcely a year,
in crossing Africa.-London Daily Neecs.

IT is stated that the report of the late
royal commission on the blind and deaf
has produced a very favorable effect in
India, and that voluntary contributions
are forthcoming for the erection in CAL
cutta of an educational institution for the
deaf. Baber Girindra Nath Bose, a ma
tive gentleman, promises 2,400 rupees
per annum for three years and 1000
rupees at once. These contributions the
Bengal government will supplement by a
grant from public funds, and under its
auspices inquiries are being made in
England for a competent oral teacher.

A League Of

The "Childrcn's League of Kindness"
in London, embodies a very pretty idea,
its primary object being to induce chill
dren to help children and bridge the gulf
between those Of aff1uent and unfortu-
nate circumstances with deeds of kind
ness. The members, chill dren of wealthy
parents, give two articles annually,
either dolls or toys, to the poor, and the
associates (mothers Or guardians) give
two garments annually. The garments
are sold at a very low price, the pro-
ceedsof the sales4nd the subscriptions
going to the-childfen's holiday fund.

Senator ingalls, on Prohibition in Kansas.

Kansas has abolished the saloon. The
open dram shop traffic is as extinct as
the sale Of in%dulgences. A drunkard is
a phenomenon. The barkeepcr has join
ed the tronbadour, the crusader and the
mound-bu;ldcr. The brewer, the distil-
Ter and the bonded warehouse are known
only to the archnologist. y n x Pro-
llibition prohibits. The prediction of its
opponents has not been verified, immi-
grafton has not been repealed, nor has
capital been diverted from the State.
The period has been one of uncxamplcd
growth n development. From COM
parison of the results in Kansas with
those existing elsewhere the conclusion
is irresistibly i'll favor of prohibition

The man who said "There is reason

ton OF o jealous woman.
The happiest women are those who
never know who stand the best chance
Of being their husbands second wives.
A woman can disguise her wrinkles,
debts, and receptions from a man, but
she can never hide them from another
woman.
What this country needs is a woman
who can mention the men without init
mating that every woman il a good
wife and every mar q bad husband.
You never hear q woman of forty
talk about meeting her affinity" It
is the romantic girl of sixteen, and
those who are older never know
whether to laugh OF cry when they
hear her talk.

mothers wsys, she usually begius by
saying, When / get married. and

The above statistics mako a full and
complete showing Of the progress and
| prosperity of Kansas during the prohi-
bition period, and | venture the assertion
that no other State III the Union can
make a better showing.
Now, in conclusion, while we do not
claim hat prohibition has been the
chief cause or reason for this proud
record, yet we do claim that prohibition,
instead of being a hindrancc, has
greatly helped to make this showing, be-
, cause it has brought a larger proportion
Of sober, Industrious, intelligent men to
our borders than would otherwise have
come.
The idea that Kansas has lost either
in population or wealth because of pro-
hibition is simply preposterous, and in
my judgment no one in his right mind
really believes it.
For every man We lose because of pro-
hibition we gain two better men because
we have prohibition. NJ. MouLER.

The Angle Worm.

There IS nothing especially interesting
about the angle worm itself. 1t is the
effect it has upon the lives of mankind,
and boykind especially, that weaves a
halo of interest about this otherwise un.
interesting object. There may be differ
ent breeds of the angle worm, but those
who need them in their business do not
examine into the pedigree of those that
come to hand first. Any smooth, fiat,
wiggly worm will do, be it mongrel or
thoroughbred.
Why the denizens of the two most I'M
stable elements, air and water, should
have an appetite for the humble worm,
is one Of the great mysteries of nature.
1t is lucky for the worm that it is neither
a swimmer nor flyer, and it can also
thank its stars, If it has any, that birds
and fish cannot handle spade. If the
worm would give up it's habit of going
to meet the early bird it could pass its
life in comparative safety in the depths
of it's sub-cellar.
The man who discovered that fish liked
worms is responsible for considerable
juvenile and masculine depravity. Fish
ing cannot be successfully carried on
without the worm. Any old tin can will
do to carry the worms in.
It is almost an infallible omen when a
boy is seen with spade and can that he
viii be missed at school on the morrow,
or when a man is seen with the same inn
plements Saturday evening, that he will
be missed at church next Sunday. 1t is
not right to dig for angle worms on Sum-
day.-Texas Siftings.

Our Native Tree Fruits.

Take our cherries to begin with. W.
have, first, the shrubby choke cherry
which unquestionably might become tn
parent of an improved dwarf ironclat
fruit, either directly developed from tn
best among the wildings, or aided b,
crossings with foreign species. TIL
dwarf Black Hills cherry, probably thu
largest of our natives, would, perhaps
cross we'll with the choke cherry. Among
the innumerabie wild bird cherries,
even in the wild state, selections coulc
easily be made of trees producing yer,
large and good fruit, with which t.
make an advantageous start, while thu
black cherry might be made the founda
ton for another race similar to the for
eign heart cherries.
When we come to the plums it is seel
at once that nature has laid broac
foundation for us to build upon in ou
variant native species-east, west ant
south-selections from which are alread,
widely cultivated. 1t is easy to believ'
that from these can be educed fruit ia
superior to and widely different from
anything yet known. 1t would not b.
surprising to see plums from this stool
reaching eventually the size and qualit!
of the apricot, with vigor of tree ia
beyond that of any foreign stone fruit
With this abundant material, and all tn
acquired skill of modern science, anc
with these natives and all their relative
from other continents to work with, ou
skilled horticulturists ought to produc
remarkable results within compare
lively brief time.-Vick's Magazine.

The seven bibles Of the world are the
Koran of the Mohammedans, the Tri
Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five Kings
of the Chinese, the Three Vedas of the
Hindoos, the Zendavesta and the Scrip
ture of the Christians.
The Koran is the most recent of the
five, dating from about the seventh cen
tury after Christ. It is q compound OF
quotations from both the Old and New
Testaments and from the Talmud. The
Tri Pitikes contain sublime morals and
pure aspirations. Their author lived and
died in the sixth century before Christ.
The sacred writings Of the Chinese are
called the Five Kings, the word ''kings'
meaning web of cloth. From this it is
presumed that they were originally writ
ten on five rolls of cloth. They contain
wise sayings from the sages on the duties
of life, but they cannot be traced further
back than the eleventh century before
our era.
The Vedas are the most ancient books
in the language of the Hindoos, but they
do not, according to late commentators
duIeudl0 Cue I"elICiI CeilIuIy UelOle Gue
Christian era.
The Zendavesta of the Persians, next
to our Bible, is reckoned among scholars
as being the greatest and most learned
of the sacred writings. Zoroaster, whose
sayings it contains, lived and worked in
the twelfth century before Christ; Moses
lived and wrote the Pentateuch 1900
years before the birth of Christ; there.
fore, that portion of our Bible is at least
300 years older than the most ancient OF
other sacred writings.
The Eddas, semi-sacred work of the
Scandinavians, was first given to the
world in the fourteenth century.-Or.
