It is impossible to enumerate even the

will be there sharing the places of honor
with Mrs. Tenant, the brides mother, Sir
John Millais, who, it is expected. will give
the bride away, and Surgeon Parke and the
other brave companions OF Stanley's recent
Journey.
There is one other important item in con-

Devonshire. Looking still farther into the
future of Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley, it is quite
certain that should the explorer undertake
another journey into the interior Of Africa,
his wife would bear him company. She
has declared her resolution to this 9 ect,

The Open Air Life Of Jaunt Over West
Z. ern Plainss
A Missouri correspondent sends the Com
panion some unprofessional but sensible
suggestions upon topic OF deep and gener-
al interest, says the Youths Companion.
The article on cure of consumption in
. late number of the Companion recalls the
fact already passing away from all memoir
les that before the railroads were built
across the plains it was common thing for
consumptives, a. a last resort, to take the
overland journey in OK carts, and that the
experiment was often successful, some
times, to all seeming INTERNATIONALLY SO.
To-day thousands try the trip by rail-
way. and suddenly arriving ON the coast in
q climate most fatal to consumptives, a eli
mate whose natives have as much consump-
their expressions of disappointment.
1T is easy TO see why the old method was
60 favorable to q cure. No region has less
of consumption than that formerly called
the plains. For GOO miles west of northwest
Missouri OF western Iowa, where the eleva-
,creases about 10 feet to the mile; the air Is
pure, dry and thin, and is constantly in mo-
ton. 5$t:E
s'The old-time wayfarers started in
wagons, with comfortable covers for use
when necessary. The whole life was passed
out of doors. The journey was slow one.
The voice was exercised in calling to the
oxen. The travellers often walked SLOWLY
along behind their wagons, laughing, talk
ing and singing. About mid-afternoon they
made halt prepared their suppers and let
their teams forage and rest until morning,
when. after breakfast, they started on.
Sometimes they halted for days at favorable
places, resting and amusing themselves, or
making needed repairs.
'Who cannot see that the case is hopeless
indeed for which such Ii fe does not work
a cure? Now when people go west, if they
do not take the cars, they have carriages
and good horses, and spin along, stopping
at hotels. It needs the slow-going team,
the occasional walking and talking, the
outdoor cooking and sleeping.
"In days long before the railway had ever
reached the Missouri river the writer lived
where he had the opportunity of seeing
numbers of far-gone consumptives starting
on such journeys. Many of them he saw
return cured, and he heard of many more.
1T is not necessary to 60 as far as the
mountains. To-day one can journey all
through central Kansas and Nebraska and
find settlements wherever he may like to
halt. Why doctors persist in sending pa
TENTS to the south or to the Pacific coast
where no disease is more common or native
to the soil than consumption, and why they
send them in .close, stuffy Pullmans,' are
among the mysteries. Long live the OF
Iteam!''

Half mile further along pretty, yell
low-haired girl was swinging between two
pines. She wore white challie in a Dres-

Al garden party out at Flushing, Long

everybody than the starched shirt bosom.
The early summer weddings are about
over, but at one of the last were noted some
smart bridesmaids costumes. The cere-

and the four maids wore daffodil-tinted silk
