THE natives Of Africa are towards

plorer. Ia al reporter. They prefer to
take ~priSoner,, and comparatively few
of their enemies are kiilcd outright
They are afraid Ia strike for fear they
will receive IA more damaging blow in
return. They make slaves of their
prisoners, and the captives have a
sorry time. OF all enemies they dread
the gorilla most; and he is "A foe that
no man dare despise. He will fight at
sight. Numbers do not deter him. He
is SO human aud desperate in his de-
Tense and attack that the Africans have
long learned that 10 fight with a 90
rilla is 10 fight 10 the death.
This dreadful animal keeps to the
woods, as it is necessary for him to
grasp hold of the boughs as he walks
on his hind legs. a man is, therefore,
comparatively safe if he is on the
prairie. There are some extraordinary
things told Of the GORILLA. | will re.
late one OF them. had always heard
itsaid that the male gorilla would not
harm a woman. This is the common
belief in some triUes.
'One day We came TO a village in
which one hui had been built apart
from the rest. We inquired for the
S of this, and found that it had
been dedicated 10 a witch. This witch
wa greatly rcvcred. She had been
the wife of a gorilla. The woman had
lived in a village in a house which
stood on the edge of the forest. \
great tree overhung her shanty. In
the village all trees had been cut down
as a precaution against the gorillas.
One night one of these animals came
out OF the forest, got up INTO the big
tree which overhung the womans
house. climbed down Oh the roof,
threw the roof oil, swung down into
hut, seized the woman, climbed up
through the hole la the roof. up into
the tree. and went away into the
woods, carrying the woman with him.
The gorilla's great strength made
this an easy thing To do. lie could
hold her in one arm, and with his two
hind legs and his one free fore arm
make his way up and down trees or
through the woods. The woman was
gone for many days. The people saw
that her house roof had been torn of.
They looked carefully around the
house and saw that there were no
tracks whatever. They then knew
that the drS-i enemy had carried her
off.
"One day she came back. She told
a wonderful story. The gorilla had
carried her for miles into the woods
and finally had climbed a great tree
and deposited her in his home. There
he treated her very kindly, brought
her food and drink, but would not
permit her To leave. After watching
her carefully for many days he finally
left her, probably intending TO return
In a short time, convinced that she
would remain. The woman came
down to the ground, and, after wan
deriDg in the forest for several days,
made her way back 10 the village.
The people at first were about To kill
her, but they finally concluded that
she was possessed Of extraordinary
powers. They therefore built her a
house for herself, supplied her with
every comfort, and looked up To her as
q sacred person. Auckland New

Her Intended Deadly DEED Converted
Into n Practical joke.
The citizens OF Gilbertsyille, Mont
gomery County, Pc, have been furnished
with quite q sensation by tho actions of
married couple of that place few
days ago. According to the Pottstown
News the harmony Of tho family circle
was broken by a rupture between man
and wife, and the woman in fit of
anger gave her liege lord to understand
that she would get even with him, even
II she had to poison him, and warned
him to look out. He. believing sho
would carry out her threat, went to the
stores Throughout tho village and
notified thom not to sell her any poison.
Sure cnoush--so the story runs-she
was on hand in q short time and asked
for box of rat poison, and the NOR
chant, to accommodate her, mixed up a
potion, of whic flour was tho main in
grcdient, which she paid for and left
the store. The storckeepcr in tho
meantime notified the husband of her
factions, and when he won't home for
his meal he was prepared for tho next
act.
The meal was eaten in silence, and
upon its completion he began to com
plain of pains, and went into the next
room and lay down on the lounge and
pretended to be helplessly sick. The
vindictiye woman quickly went up
stairs, and getting a rope dropped it
down through pipeholo, fastening ono
lend TO q bcdpost, then coming down
stairs again madc loop, placed it
around the neck OF the apparently sick
man; she then hurried upstairs and
drew the rope taut and pulled on the
same until she had, as she thought, hc..
husband suspended. She then hurried
out and informed the neighbors that he
had hanged himself. They rushed in,
and behold! he was sitting on tho lounge
coolly smoking his pipe, while suspend
ed from the rope was small stove. Tho
discounted woman ran upstairs to es-
capc the laughter of her ncighbors,
while he explained that when she had

A Spanish Submarine Boat.

Spain would appear to treat her in

says the London Times. A naval
lieutenant, Isaac Peral, has construct
ed submarine boat moved by cleo

ish press, is great invention, an
opinion shared by the government, as

whether this sum represents the
mon etary value of the patent. But
without wishing for moment to de-
tract from the merit of Lieutenant Per-
al, whose boat may be the most per-
feet of it's kind, 1t may be pointed out
that similar vessels have existed for
many years past in other countries, a
fact which the Spanish newspapers
seem to forget, or at least ignore,
while heaping almost fulsome eulogy
on Lieutenant Peral as the inventor

A TWENTY-FIVE Pound Flower.

n twenty-five fOuHu FIO"eF'
The "bo-o,n the largest flower
known to hotanists, is found only on
the island of Mlndina, the most south
ern of the Philippine group. Its
scientific name is somewhat longer
than the native name, the botanist
recognizing it as a species of
the rafflesia. 1t has been given
the name of Rafflesia Schadenbergia,
the first half of the name being in
honor of Sir Stamford Raffies, the
British governor of the islands, and
the last half in honor of the discover
or, DR.. Alexander Schadenberg. The
flower was discovered in January,
1889, by the exploring expedition
headed by the doctor above mention
ed, and who says that he could
hardly believe his eyes when one
vine was found which had four of
the blossoms expanded to full three
feet, and several buds as large as
drumhead cabbages. Three speci-
mems which were weighed turned the
scales at Is IA, 20 l-2 and 81 ga
pounds. The flower is q beautiful
creamy white, with stamens of the
bluest violet.

A WASHINGTON PORTRAIT.
Lord Rosebery in Possession of the
Stuart Picture Taken From Life.

Lord Rosebery in Possession of the
Stuart Picture Taken From Life.
Lord Rosebery, in his dining room
at Berkeley Square, says the Court
Journal, has given the place of honor
to q portrait of George Washington,
recently acquired. 1t is by Gilbert
Stuart, one OF the only two genuine por-
traits now existing painted from life.
This particular picture was painted
by Stuart upon the commission of
Lord Shelburne, and dates about the
year 1876. When, in 1905, Lord Shell
burne died, his pictures were sold by
auction, and this now priceless por-
trait brought e540.
The picture Is known In art circles
as the Lansdowne portrait, Lord
Shelburne having become Marquis of
Lansdowne before his death. The
man who bought the portrait present
ly became bankrupt, and Washing
ton was again in the market. How
greatly it has, in a comparatively
brief space of time, increased in value
is shown by the fact that it now
brought 2 600 guineas, being disposed
of by a lottery for which forty tickets
were issued at so guineas each. 1t
was won by Mr.. Delaware Lewis,
member for Davenport.
When, some three or four years ago,
Mr.. Lewis died, the picture was again
for sale and Lord Rosebery bought
it, but not for 1000 guineas. 1t
is picture, as we'll as portrait,
showing Washington standing by an
arm chair, from which he has appar-
emily risen, his black velvet coat and
breeches, with lace ruffles at the neck
and silver buckles on the shoes, STAN
ding out we'll against the dark red
velvet with which the arm chair is
draped.

Safety From a Presidential Scourge.
Protection from the disease, not a
medicinal agent which merely checks
the paroxysms, is the grand disidera-
tum wherever the endemic scourge of
malaria PREVAILS. Quinine does not
afford this protection. The chief rea-
son why Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has won such immense popularity is,
that 1t prepares the system to resist
the maIarial pest. This it does by
bracing and toning the physical or
ganism; regulating and promoting an
equal flow and distribution of the ami
NAL fluids, and establishing digestion
on sound basis. Not only is fever
and ague prevented, but the worst
types of the disease are conquered by
it. Such is the only conclusion to be
drawn from the overwhelming evil
dence in its favor. 1t is equally eff
caciOus in dyspepsia, constipation
liver complaint, general debility and
rheumatic complaint, and is a reliable
diuretic and neTvine. 9.9-6t
