The Great African Forest.

In Stanley's report to the British Gov
ernment in regard to his expedition for
the relief of Emin Pasha, he speaks as
follows of the discovery of an immense
forest: I'VE can prove that east and
north and northeast of the Congo there
exists an immense area of about $50, 600
square miles which is covered BY one un-
broken, compact and veritable forest.
Y Y Through the core of this for

and in it's gloomy shades many scores
of our dark followers perished. Our
progress through the dense underground
OF bush and ambitious young trees which
grew beneath the impervious shades of
the forest giants, and which was matted
by arums, phrynia and amoma, meshed
by endless lines of calamus, and COM
plicated by great cable-like convolvuli,
was often only at the rate of 400 yards
an hour. Through such distractions as

THE QUEENS SIGNATURE.

Despite Her Age 1t Is Still a Model ot
Firmness and Legibility.
James Burbank, an ex-member of the
Canadian Parliament, is at the Hoffman
House in company with a party OF
wealthy Canadians who are going Sou tn
on pleasure trip. According to Mr..
Burbank, the Canadians are q happy.
prosperous people, so we'll satisfied with
English rule and with such great love
Tor Queen Victoria that they will never
think seriously of annexation. He told
many interesting facts about the
Queens signature.
''rhe Queens signature to state docu.
ments," said he, lis still model OF
1rmness and legibility, no sign of He,
Majesty's advanced age being discerni-
bic in the boldly-written Victoria r.
which she attaches to such papers as
have to bear the royal autograph. The
question OF the signing of state docu.
ments in England by the sovereign be-
came one of great Importance in the
last months of George Tvs reign. Dur.
ing this period His Majesty was in
such a debilitated state that the
writing of numerous autographs was an
impossibility, and under these circum-
stances a short bill was hurriedly
passed through Parliament authorizing
the King to afflx facsimile of his
autograph by means, of an linked stamp.
TWAS also provided that George should,
before stamping each document give
his verbal assent to it in a specified
form. The Duke of Wellington was in
office at the time, and it was his duty to
lay certain documents before the King
for his approval. One day the Iron
Duke noticing that His Majesty was
stamping the papers before him with
out repeating the prescribed verbal
formality, ventured to enter a respect
full but arm protest.
"Your Majesty forgets to repeat the
verbal formality?"
"'Hang it, what can it signify?' re-
piled the King, in an irritated voice.
"Only this, SIR replied the Duke,
that the law requires it,
George Nv. said no more, but at once
began to repeat the requisite formality
as he stamped each OF the documents. "

IN word, they are thoroughly domesti.

the great point-their demeanor and
general conduct are absolutely unim-

THE RING in HISTORY.

The Custom of Wearing the Golden Cir
clets Is of Great Antiquity.
We read of Pharaoh investing Joseph
with ring after he had made him
ruler over Egypt; we read of the men
and women of Israel contributing their
ear-rings-part, no doubt, of the Egyp-
tian spoil-to the making of the golden
calf. In all times the ring seems to
have been symbol of dignity and au-
thority.
In the early days of the Roman Re-
public Ambassadors wore golden rings
as part of their official dress. Later on
every free Roman wore one as a right,
although some who affected the SIM
plicity of olden times wore iron rings.
In more degenerate days the luxurious
Romans loaded their fingers with rings,
some of the more exquisite dandies even
going so far as to have different rings
for winter and summer wear.
The LacedBmonians, as became their
rugged simplicity, wore rings of iron.
Caesar mentions gold and iron rings
as used in Gaul and Britain for money,
a thing customary among ancient peo-
pies, and practiced even in Sweden and
Norway down to the twelfth century, as
it is now among some of the tribes of
Africa.
In days when writing was rare &C.
complishment a seal or signet ring was
a necessity to the King and mobiles, and
such rings were never parted with, even
temporarily, save to persons in whom
implicit confidence was placed.
These rings would pass from father to
son for generations. and were, in fact.
the sign manual of the head of the
house. In "Alrs Well That Ends
Well" Shakespeare makes such ring
the principal turning-point in the plot:
ring the County wears

staff made some pretensions to gentle

been robbed during his vinous sleep be-
hind the arras.
<'Shall l not take mine ease in mine
inn, but shall have my pocket picked?
I have lost a seal ring of my grand.
fathers worth forty marks"
At which old Dame Quickly remarks:
E. II have heard the Prince tell him,
know not how oft, that that ring was
copper"
> All the old romancers and dramatists
have illusions to the customs of wear
ing and giving rings. When lovers
parted they made an interchange OF
rings. At a betrothal rings were the
sign and evidence of troth plight.-lill

Death Of Senator Beck.

1
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator James
=. Beck dropped dead in the Baltimore
Potomac station to-day. He had just
arrived from New York, and was ac-
companied by his daughter, Mrs. Good
loe' wife OF Maj. Goodloe, of the United
states marino corps. He got off the
train with the rest of the passengers
and walked with his daughter the en-
tire length of the platform and through
tho gate leading to the station proper.
After passing into the station tho sena-
tor and his daughter stopped and were
Joined by his private secretary, who had
brought carriage to take them home.
"A few words were exchanged with re-
gard to the care OF baggage, when the
senator suddenly turned pale, and, with
the remark II feel dizzy" fell into the
arms OF his companions. Physicians
were summoned but the Senator was
dead before they arrived. Heart dis
ease was the cause of death.
| James B. Beck was native of Scot
land, having been born at Dumfries-
shire on the 18th of February, 1892. He
received an academic education in Scot
land, and was graduated as lawyer at
,Iransylvania university, Lexington,
KY, in March, 1886. Mr.. Beck contin-
ued to reside in that city, where he de-
voted himself to the practice of his pro-
fession. He never held office until
elected, in 1866, to the Fortieth con-
gress from the Seventh district of Ken
lucky by a majority of 6,664. He rep
resented this district four terms and in
1877, was elected to the U. S. Senate,
which position he held until his death.
! The great demons ira tion of the labor
ing classes for shorter hours took place

of people taking part in the meetings is
10000, of which 100000 came in the
procession and 30O,0 gathered at will.
This is very conservative calculation,
however, and some observers accus-
toned to gauge large crowds do not hes
itate to assert that fully 100000 peo-
pie participated in the demonstration.
There were 15O bands of music in the
