ALisr of African Explorers.

A Brussels correspondent of the Vos-
sische Zeitung has made list Of the
explorers who have crossed Africa.
From 1902 to 1911 the feat was accom-
plished by a Portuguese, Horatio de
Costa; in 1888 and 1853 by Francesca
Coimbra and Silva Porto; in 1854 by
Livingstone; 1855. Gethard Rohlfs; 1874,
Lieutenant Cameron and Stanley; then
by Serpa Pinto, the Italians Mattenio
and Massari; Lieutenant Wissmann,
who crossed from St Paul de Loanda to
Sadani on the east coast in 1882 to 1884;
the Scotch missionary Arnat, the Portu-
guese Capello and Ivans, the Swedish
Lieutenant Gleerup, who needed the
least time, crossing from Stanley falls
to Bagamoyo in six months; the Aus
trian DR.. SEM, Stanley for the second
time, and finally Captain Trivier, the
French traveller. The first explorer was
ten years, the last scarcely year in
crossing Africa.

A CHINESE RAILWAY.

About Ninety Miles Now in Operation in
the Celestial Empire.
There is now in operation in China
between eighty and ninety miles of
railroad, lying between the Kai-Ping
collieries and Tien-Tsin, the nearest
port to Pekin. This line was COM
menced in 1881, to carry coal from the
mines for distance of seven miles to
the head OF q canal, which, for topo-
graphical reasons, could not be brought
nearer. Permission to build it had been
asked of the authorities in vain several
years before, and was only finally Sc
cured by the declaration of the directors
of the company that they must stop min
ing unless they obtained this means Of
transportation. Then leave was grant
ed for the construction OF tramway
on the condition that only horses or
mules should be used as motive power.
1t was a case of taking an ell where an
inch had been given, and the English
engineers went quietly to work to con-
struct a locomotive out of such bits of
iron and steel as they could gather.
They succeeded in making a machine
that would run, but had no sooner done

in the yard on which it was built were
torn up, and it was thrust into q shed,
either for final retirement or to wait for
better days. A few months afterward
its completion was ventured upon, and,
the government kindly Withdrawing its
scrutiny, the operation of the little road
by steam began without official sane
ton.
The principal objection Of the govern
ment to railroad enterprises, while adj
hitting their usefulness, was that they
would probably have to be managed by
foreigners, who would thus obtain
further influence in China. Expert
ments in a small way were subsequently
made. showing that this could be avoided.
Under a board of Chinese directors
twenty-three miles were added to the
Kai-Ping road, and afterward another
section of sixty miles, bringing the
line to Tien-Tsin. This road is in
the northeastern corner of the
kingdoms, in an out-of-the-way nook,
where the population Is sparse, and
popular prejudices have least to be con-
tended with. Its Importance to the
further prosecution Of the railroad sys-
tenn, however, is great, since it not only
demonstrates that the natives can con-
troll their own roads, provided that they
can pay for them, but can furnish the
necessary supplies of coal for the opera
ton of other railways in the region Of
Pekin and Tien-Tsin. Though coal
abounds in nearly every province of
China, the mine at Kai-Ping is Tor was

IN CAMP AND Field.
A MEDICAL MANS MEMORY
OF WARTIME

Under the above heading we shall short
ly begin the publication of series CT Illus
trated War Sketches, written by private
soldier, by a man who himself carried
musket, and which will interest all readers,
both young and old, alike.
They are not devoted to a discussion or
criticism of men and methods, but in
plain simple manner tell soldiers story
from a soldiers standpoint.
They are rich in incident and valuable as
historical series, but yet invested with an
interest equal to that found in tale of
fiction.
Don't miss the first number of this re-
markable series. In reading them your
children will learn to love history and be-
come familiar with story every American
boy and girl ought to read.
There is nothing of bitter or sectional
feeling pervading the articles-that is in
the shape Of opinion expressed by the
author, or in the spirit in which his nara
tive is written. In no sense does the author
obtrude his personal opinions, but narrates
facts, together with his own observations
as to what he as private soldier saw and
experienced. The series will be appro-
priately illustrated; few specimen cuts
are here with given.

An Old Lady Tries Travelling ON FaaS
Railroad TraIn.
81 never been on the cars BEFORE"
said the little old lady, settling herself
in the seat and arranging her skirts.
'EMy son got married fifteen years ago,
and went to live to Bridgeport He
kept a urgin' me to come to Bridgeport,
but l says to him, Il amt never been on
the cars, and don't think would like
it,
"'Now, mother says he, you won't
have no trouble at all. You jest git on
the cars, and you have nice cushioned
seats, and you see lots of strangers.
Mother says he, you would like 1t,
know
"'Well, John says, 1T don't seem
right to me, an old woman, to go CAD
dim about in new-fangled cars
"But every time he come to our house
he kept a-urgin' me.
john 1 says, I might 60 if could
do some knittin' on the cars. But
amt willin' to set idle with my hands
crossed, and do nothin'.'"
"'Why, mother, says he, 4 amt never
see any women do much sewin' on the
ears, but, bless you, lots OF 'em knits.
You kin jest sit there and knit till you
get to Bridgeport
john says I, I'll go to please you,
but don't think it's right.
Nov, MOTHER says he, I'll come up
and git you. or you kin have Henry
come down.
mo says /, Henry must stay to
home and look after the farm, and l
guess kin git to Bridgeport if the cars
will take me there
They will take you right there, and

"'Why, mother says he, the brake

say what station it is
$50 here am, on the cars for the first
time. 1t amt much use for mo to be
wastin' my time, and I guess I'll do
some knittin'."
The little woman put on her glasses,
and, feeling around in her cloth bag
with trembling hand, drew forth her
knitting.
DO YOU know" she said, turning
around her work and looking at it close
ly, 1.-The cars run quite smooth. don't
seem to mind 'em at all, but 1t don't
seem right for an old woman like me to
| be goin' about on cars"
She picked up two or three stitches
and was on the point of starting her
slender needles on their way when the
brakeman opened the door and cried:
bridgeport Bridgeport"
What did he say?" asked the little
woman, with surprise cd look in her
| eyes.

now"
"Bridgeport?" she said, folding her
knitting. "Now amt that aggravatin'?
1 always thought Bridgeport was forty
miles from US. If had known that it
was so near l would have walked it.
Why, we amt been on the cars an hour
yet"
Nobody laughed at the little woman.
why, john" she said to the big,
strong. honest-faced man who came in
to meet her, why did you fool me
about Bridgeport? could have walked
it in couple of hours"
''It's forty miles, mother" he said,
kissing her wrinkled face. Its the
cars, you know, that make it seem short "

"cARMEN SYLVIA"
An Americans Impression of the Royal
Poet in Her Youth.

AA Americans Impression of the Royal
Poet in Her Youth.
G. P. r. Healy, the well-known Amer.
can portrait painter, in an article on
Crowns and Coronets'' in the North
American Review. tells about one royal
sitter whose visits to his studio were sun
shine itself. This was cousin of the
young Princess Of Oldenburg, the ex-
quisite and charming Princess of Rou-
mania, since Queen of that country, no
other than the fair poet Carmen Syl-
va" She had been sent to Rome for
her health, and was greatly enjoying all
she saw; enjoying, also. her freedom
from court etiquette, and, think, ma
liciously reducing the maid of honor
and the chamberlain who accompanied
her to the verge of despair.
Before the portrait of her cousin was
quite finished the Princess of Rouma nia
ordered hers as surprise for her hus-
band. painted her dressed in her ma
tional costume; it consisted of a sort Of
en- broidered chemise, with long, loose
sleeves, an open jacket, a red skirt en-
broidered in gold, red morocco boots,
and thin tissue vail covering the whole
costume, also embroidered in red and
gold. The dress was very becoming to
her; her expressive face was almost
perfect, the only defect being rather
high forehead. Since those days she
has worn her hair according to the
present fashion, cut and curled on the
forehead, so that this slight defect is no
longer noticeable
OF late years the Queen of Roumania
has become we'll known, and has been
much written about in America
as we'll as in Europe. Under the
name of Carmen sylvia she has pub
lished poems and novels, meditations
and dramatic works, not only in Ger
man, her native tongue, but also in
French. Last year she was crowned by
the French Academy, and Pierre Lott.
the author of "Pecheurs d'Ialande,'
has just dedicated his last book to her.
But some twenty years ago, when she
visited my studio, and told me, during
the long sittings, all about her home
life, Carl" her husband, her lovely
little baby girl-so soon, alas! to be
taken from her-her enthusiasm about
her adopted country, and her desire to
do every thing humanity possible for the
happiness of her people, the Princess
was scarcely known beyond her own
circle and the privileged few who were
admitted to her charming presence.
She was born Princess Of Neuwied, a
small and modest prfncipality on the
Rhine, and she was brought up by her
admirable mother as simply as any
country girl of her neighborhood. Her
education, however, was most complete;
she speaks English and French as per-
fectly as her own tongue, and with no
vestige of accent. She is an excellent
musician, and has curious talent for
miniature-painting and old-fashioned
Illuminating. All that she does she
seems to do with perfect facility, and
whatever her task may be she accom-
plishes it with as much ardor as though
her whole future depended upon its
success. No woman was ever
more thoroughly a woman, more dainti-
ly refined, more genuinely Warm-heart-
ed, kind, compassionate. more enamore6
of all that is pure and noble.

The First Ica-Craarn.

The first mention of ice-cream that is
found in history is in the account Of the
festivities following Washington's first
Inauguration as President in the city Of
New York in 1850. Among the ices used
on that occasion was ice-oream, which
is said to have been prepared under the
direct supervision of Dolly Adams, wife
of John Adams, the second President.
Mrs. Adams was at that time the bright
est star in social and diplomatic circles.
Dolly's popularity by no means dimin-
ished when it was discovered that she
was first to suggest the new confeotion.
