A HOME IN A CANOE,
The Strange Residence of an Explorer IL
Southern Africa.

The Strange Residence of an Explorer in
Southern Africa.
I have been leading a strange but far
from disagreeable life. have been ex-
ploring and surveying large district
between Old Calabar and the Cameron.
To do the water part of the journey
hired at Old Calabar large native canoe
with a house in it, an arrangement
family resembling the house-boat on
the Thames.
At one end of it is large box of sand.
On this my cooking fire is made. A
fire, in fact. is kept burning day and
night, SO that with few minutes notice
can have cup of tea or cocoa.
In the house, which has two small
windows and two sliding doors and
matched roof, there is just room for M
bed, dressing bag, table, chair, and can
teen. The canteen is a wicker-work
box, with knives, forks, plates, etc.
There are also shelves and hooks in the
house, by which a lot of things are
slowed away in surprisingly small
space.
Outside the house, in the forward part
OF the canoe, is a clear space with a
level floor and small seats around, shell
tered by an extension of the matched
roof. Here, in daytime, put my table
and sit, either eating my meals or MAX
ing my survey, as the canoe glides
along, propelled by eighteen paddlers
This is really most pleasant, writes H.
d. tombstone. the celebrated explorer,
from Cape Colony. The motion of the
canoe is so smooth that I can write or
draw mistaken, and when my table is
laid with white cloth, napkin and
bright silver, it at once provokes an
appetite. london Telegraph.

1874 protests were made by residents
along the lines of route to the guillo-

A Vanderbilt as a Bookworo.

George Vanderbilt is a built,
pallid-faced man of retiring manner,
with bluish-gray eyes and brown mus
tache. He is only nine and twenty and
the master of $4,000, 600, yet he es-
chews society and leads the life of a
conscientious professional bookworm,
pouring over moldy and obscure vet
priceless editions of the classics in the
luxuriant library of his Fifth avenue
mansion. He has pretty turn for art,
which, however, does not prevent his
attending the German opera on occa-
sions, and he is an expert cancer. He
is not particularly robust, but, being a
bachelor, he is the cynosure of all the
match making mammas about town. to
whom he gives a wide berth, and is
building home in North Carolina
which promises to be a revelation. He
is said to be writing histocial novel.
