SMALLPOX IN AFRICA.
The Scourgo Inhicting Tcrriblo Misery
from the Congo to Abyssinla.

The Scourgo Iniicting Tcrribio Misery
from the Congo to Abyssinla-
Smallpox is extending rapidly over
central Africa According to all re-
ports the natives attacked by this dis
ease and destitute of medical knowledge
are perishing in large numbers from
the Congo to Abyssinia- Along tho
coast, as far as white influence extends,
vaccination has been introduced with
good results. 1t has been found, how
ever, difficult to introduce vaccination
among the natives of central Africa,
not on account of opposition from tho
people, but because tho high tempera-
turc and humidity destroy the potent
qualities of vaccine matter The latest
testimony on this point comes from
Europeans in the service of King Men
clell, of Abyssinia- They say the NOR
tally among the Calais and in Shoa is
large and that it seems impossible to
keep vaccine SO as to preserve it's viru-
lcncc.
The editor of Intrigue and DIR. Etcr-
nod, of Geneva, Switzerland, have been
engaged in experiments to determine
how vaccine matter may be sent free to
Africa, SO as to preserve its potent
qualities. The only conclusion they
seem to have reached is that it will be
necessary to introduce the cultivation of
vaccine into Africa. They suggest that
COWS, goats, or other animals be in
fected with the virus in the coast re-
gions, and then introduced into inner
Africa, where they be maintained for
the production of vaccine, and tho sup
ply be kept up from generation to gen.
Grafton. In their opinion the govern
ments which have interests in Africa
should at once provide for the introduce
ton of this preventive in the manner
: they specify. Otherwise, they fear that
smallpox will make greater and greater
ravagcs, and will probably depopulate
large areas
The last expedition which Mr.. Stan
ley led across Africa reported n great
deal of smallpox in the interior. All
the members of the expedition wcre
vaccinated before they entered upon
their long march, but there seems to be
no record of any effort to introduce vac
cination in tho villages which they
found affected with tho disease The
natives are in the utmost terror of
smallpox. AS soon as one of their num-
Der is taken with the disease he is iso-
lated in n house erected for him, and is
left there to die alone. His friends carry
him food every day, approaching with
in a certain distance of the house. and,

Provisional Engagement OF u Washington
Bcllc anss n Spanish
Perhaps the most novel romance on
record for any Washington girl, writes
q correspondent of the New York Her
aid, is the provisional engagement said
to have been entered into several years
since by Miss Patten, eldest daughter
of the late Mrs. Patten, of California,
TO Scnor Rafael Cana, whose brother at
that time was minister from Chill to this
country. The foreigner, though the
senior by many years of Miss Patten,
yet hoped to somewhat eQualize all
such difficulties by the wealth of which
he expected to be master upon tho sale
to an American syndicate of his silver
mines In Chill.
Senior Cana did not speak one word of
English, while his ludy-love was as
gloriously ignorant of spanish, but
they met upon the common ground Of
French, and each sought III thissway to
finally overcome the obstacles to per-
feet understanding in their respective
native languages.
The plan decided upon in the matter
of the engagement was that it should
be held by both in tho most liberal
sense as provisional That is, for
period of six months they would be out
wardly all devotion to each other, and
though all public announcement was to
he avoided, they were virtually to con-
slider themselves engaged for the space
OF time agreed upon. Senior Cana was
to be the attendant of Miss Patten on
all occasions, should provide her with
flowers and bonbons ed ibitum, should
~, &c nt 1,n Il
opera, should carry her bouquet and
fan at parties and quietly obliternte
himself during the round OK dances, to
appear again as surely at supper time.
In return the young lady was to hold
herself in readiness upon all occasions
to forego such social pleasures rs con-
flictcd seriously with the scdatc DISPOSE
ton of her elderly lover. She was, more
over, to meet and walk with him every
fine day, and when inclcmcnt weather
prccludcd the enjoyment of pedestrian
exercise was to entertain him after the
most approved fashion in her own home.
Here the hours were to be whiled away
with music, the reading of some inter
esting books, or, when fancy so die
tated, time was to be forgotten in
dcSultory conversation.
At the end of six months each was to
be strictly honest with the other and
state what progress this intimate de-
gree of friendship had made on the roy
al road to love, and whether, all things
considered, n continuance was to be de-
sired.
Strange us it may seem, the two held
to their VOWS of bsolute candor, but the
end was that they mutually preferred
friendship to marriages.

Too Much.

The Lewiston journal prints the
story of a man who lived several years
ago on one of the islands of Maine, and
was commonly reputcd to be miser.
The anecdote does not of itself estab-
lish the truth of this common report,
but it shows pretty conclusivcly that he
was not a man of the world He pos
sessed considerable property, and one
winter, during the session of the lcgis-
lature, had occasion to visit Augusta.
He stepped into a restaurant for dinner,
and the waiter spread before him the
printed bill of fare. The novice took it
for bill Of charges. lie ran his eye
over it and quickly footed up the figures
at the right of the page Then he
sprang to his feet in Indignation.
"What" said he, 'all that to pay, and
hain't eat mouthful yet?" No doubt
he thought the Augusta people n set of
sharpers, and, according to the Journal,
on his next visit to the capital, he car
ried with him a pail of victuals.

Has Grown Faster Than Any Other Euro
pean Country Save Russia.
The statistics of the German census
taken last December have been pub
lished, and Germany regards the out
come with general satisfaction, for,
with the exception of Russia, it has
grown faster than any other European
country. The total population last De-
cembcr was 4o,420,S00, as against 49,
SS5,T0 In 1885, showing gain of Q, $685.
006 i'll the five years, and the largest
gain in any five years since the cstab-
lishmcnt Of the empire. In 1871 the
population was 41.0S5, 79a. In the next
five years it increased 1905 6s. From
1875 to 1850 the gain was 2,50G, 7Ol, but
from 1880 to 1885 it decreased to Gel. 643
"A period during which immigration
to this country was very heavy. AS
to the character of the increase, the
same rule holds good rs in this country.
The bulk of it was in the cities. Ten per
cent. of it was in Berlin, and more than
one-half of it in the ten largest cities of
the empire. AS compared with other
European countries, Germany in the last
ten years has grown about 5000, 900, Aus
tria less than 100000 the British ISL
nnds. it is estimated, about 5000, 900,
Italy about 2,I5o,OoO, and France less
than 1000, ooO-probably much less.
The huge empire of Russia shows a
gain during the same period of near
ly 10000 which can be accounted
for in part by the comparatively small
outflow of cmigrnts. Thus, with the
exception of the latter country, Ger

TWO STOMACHS.
"A Unique Little Creature to GLADDEN. tho
MicrOSCOpist's Heart.

microScOTist'S Heart.
at n recent meeting of tho Natural
History society, says the Trenton IN.
j. Gazette, DR.. Thomas S. Stevens en-
tcrtaincd and instructed the members
by an illustrated paper on n rotifcr, q
microscopic animal that is among the
rarcst in the group. 1t was first dis
covered by Il Russian microscopic, next
found twice in Philadelphia, once in
Illinois, and some years ago in Trenton.
1t has now been rcdiscovcred here
The creature is unique in several par
ticulars that would be of but little in
tcrcst to the general reader, but which
fill with Irresponsible JOY the heart of
the devoted microscopic, who is happy
when he is prying into the little brain
or the larger stomach of the animal
The little creature is blessed above
the human beast in having two stom-
achs, which it can fill with other ami
mails, and apparently enjoy itself by di-
costing them in spite of their wiggling.
But in connection with one Of the ami
mails stomachs discovery has been
made in Trenton that has never before
been made in any part of the world
otherwise 1T would not be discovery.
This pouch is internally lined with a
dense and woolly coating of vibrating
hairs. These strange internal APP
pcndages appear to be unknown in any
other than the Trenton rotifer, and are
therefore of great interest in n scientific
way.
Another pleasing point, pleasing both
to the animal and the microscopic, is
that the rotifer has no means of seeking
its food nor of creating currents in the
water that shall bring food to its double
stomach. 1t can only rest on small
leaf or other object, hold it's mouth
widely open and wait for Providence to
fill it by means of some wandering ami
NAL that shall blunder into the trap and
be done for, because once in those Jaws
there is no escape.
