The Congo River Railroad.

The engine0es who surveyed the route
reported that it would not cost more
than 81, 900. 900 to build and equip the
line and pay interest on the capital in
vested during the four years required to
build the road. The party, which spent
many months navigating the upper
Congo and its branches, found an album
dance of natural resources in the way of
ivory, india rubber, gums, dye stuffs,
and other articles, besides fattering
prospects that the coffee. cotton, and
tobacco plantations would ultimately be
profitable. Thus encouraged, the COM
pany decided to go forward with the
railroad. They had no trouble about
raising in Belgium and other countries
the S., 1000, 900 required to build the road
Ocean steamers can easily reach Matadi,
the starting point of the line, and al
ready the first mile or two of the iron
highway has been built, and the first
locomotive has been sent to the Congo.
1t will require nearly three years to
complete the road. When it is done,
inner Africa will be within few weeks
of the capitals of Europe, and there is no
doubt that in few years more facilities
for comfortable travel will be extended
to those who wish to make short visit
to the once mysterious regions of inner
Africa. -[Goldthwaite's Geographical

Suicide Increasing Among Negroes.

II notice by the papers, said former
coroner, shat world weary negro
committed suicide on Christmas night
by jumping from the bridge. This re-
minds me that suicides among negroes
were entirely unknown until within the
past few years. In 1878 the first case of
a negro felo de Sc in the history of st.
Louis came to my notice as a coroner.
1t was such novelty as to attract wide
spread attention, and many newspapers
claimed that it was the first case of its
kind in the country. Be that as it may,
it was but the forerunner of half dozen
cases in st. Louis, and the question is no
longer asked, Who ever heard of anegro
killing himself?' Perhaps, in the purely
animal state, no one ever did, but as the
negro in his free state has mingled with
the white man he has acquired not only
his vices, but his passions, fears. and
prejudices as well. "-[Globe Democrat

Old Age Not a Matter of Years.

Every citizen of the world, growing
wiser each year. believes that the flight
of time should have no influence upon
the heart, should not destroy vigor of
health, and freshness of feeling, and
should not mark a man as "old" simply
by standard of years. In spite of the
rush and excitement caused by modern
competition, there are many remark
able examl les of active longevity. Old
men of 81 years are seen taking tours
in Europe. One old gentleman over
80 has just started for Michigan to en-
joy the good skating of that region.
Five people over 70 were found in
party of % upon an excursion to the
Yosemite. Old people like Mr. Glad
stone, DR.. Holmes, and Mr.. Whittier,
and others both in this country and
in Europe are increasing the tendency
among people of to-day to believe that
old age is not a matter of years.
Our sanitary improvements, and the
dissemination of ideas of hygiene have
not only added to the average length of
life, but have made those added years a
period of enjoyment and of value to
the community. According to the ideas
exemplified by Mr.. Gladstone, it is pos.
sble to measure quantity of work done
equally with length of days, and to
make old age count for more value
than mere statistics for the census.

TRIBUTE TO TRAIN ROBBERS.
Bill Nye Sounds Praises Of the Younger
Brothers.

Bill Nye Sounds Praises Of the Younger
Brothers.
After the Rock Island train robbery
the Youngers and Jameses scattered to
avoid detection. Each took a peach
basket full of gold watches, so that he
would know what time it was, and
started off in four different directions.
Curiously enough. four of them came
together, viz, Cole, Jim, and John
Younger and Moore.
The four outlaws had halted in thick
grove of trees to rest their horses, swap
Watches and pray. when late in the af
ternoon two deputy sheriffs and con-
stable who were looking for the train
robbers suddenly came upon them. In
an instant Cole Younger took in the sit
uation, and revolvers were drawn and
levelled on the officers, says the narrator,
while with terrible threats and oaths,
indicating that if they did not hold their
hands as high as possible they would,
almost, at once, look like the zodiac
man in the front of the almanac, they
were halted
"Where are you going?" asked Cole
man Younger in a rich Union Depot
voice.
1--WE are hunting for the Youngers,
who robbed the train on the Rock
Island Road" said the deputy, who had
once impanelled jury, but aside from
that had never mixed much with
carnage.
You were!' exclaimed Coleman
Younger. well, d|n you, pray!"
He was almost morbid on the subject
of prayer, Coleman Younger. He did
much harm, l think, by suggesting it
at the most inopportune times, and
showed great intolerance that way.
"What do you mean?" asked the
trembling wretch.
II mean that you have just 10 min
utes by our large and choice assort-
ment of watches to get ready for the
other world, and l don't want to send
any man to the other world unpre-
pared.
He was always that way. He did
not want to see a deputy sheriff die in a
crude state. Ten minutes soon passed,
and then the men were blindfolded.

Hold on as long as you can, said the
eccentric robber. "and when you fall
that will be the end of you.
With that the helpless men were left,
and above the tumultuous beating of
their own hearts they heard the clatter
of retreating hoofs. You can dimly
imagine the horrors of such situation.
The cold, glitterins stars looked down
upon them, but they saw them not.
With bandaged eyes and sinking hearts
they chung to the verge of life until their
nerveless fingers one after another re-
Iaxed and with deep moan they fell
to the bottom, a distance of nearly four
feet!-[ New York World.

The Highest Navigable Lake in the
World.

World.
Education is not all, says New York
Sun correspondent, that Chautauquans
brag about when they speak of their
summer school. They are sure to tell
you that the lake, on the banks of which
they gather, is the highest navigable
and navigated body of water on the
globe, and that it is swept by winds
pure and fresh as those of the more
northerly :Adirondacks. Chautauqua
Lake is i'll the extreme western corner of
New York State. 1t is I, 800 feet above
sea level 1t is only eight miles from
Lake Erie, but 726 feet above it. An
interesting geographical point you are
sure to hear is that Lake Chautauqua,
although so near Lake Erie, sends its
waters southwark through Conewango
Creek, and eventually reaches tide
water in the Gulf of Mexico through
the Mississippi River.
AS a fact Lake Chautauqua is not
particularly pretty as lake. Its slopes
are flat and unromantic and the coun-
try round has been largely stripped of
trees. Nevertheless, it is getting every
season more of resort There are half
dozen growing summering places
around it. The black bass and muska-
longe fishing is remarkable, and the
country is full of vineyards, and netted
with fine roadsf for driving. jamestown
is the nearest city of size. 1t is on the
outlet, three miles below the lake,
and two lines of steamers have numer-
Gus boats plying daily between these
places, stopping at intermediate resorts

LONE.


Since she went home
The evening shadows linger longer here,
The winter days fill so much of the year.
And even summer winds are chill and drear,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins note has touched a minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but a sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since she went home
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence
blessed
Untouched the pillow that her dear head
pressed;
My lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubt and
fears,
And the dark nights have rained in lonely
tears,
Since she went home.

A Singular Custom Among Some of the
Natives of Africa

A Singular Custom Among Some of the
Natives of Africa.
"A stranger travelling in Africa with
only two or three attendants can go
about without much fear of molestation.
A great armed body like the Stanley
expedition will be obliged to fight At
times, of course, but l never had any
use at all for a weapon of any kind in
Africa.
"There are some things that solitary
traveller can find out about Africa
which large expedition will never
learn. l observed one custom that l
never saw mentioned in any travellers
accounts. l noticed that every village
had set apart field for the use of
strangers. The chief wife of the tribal
king cultivated this field and stored
away the product in the upper half of
her hut No man of the tribe was
permitted to touch of the food thus
stored. The kings wife had her share
of this. and made her living out of it.
but all over and above the amount
actually consumed must be set apart
and preserved This field is known as
the Stranger field.
whenever a stranger comes to the
village he makes known his want to the
king and he is Immediately relieved.
The best hut in the village is set apart
for him, he eats of the food of the
strangers field. and the best wife of the
king prepares the food for him with her
own hand. He remains a week or
month"; or any reasonable length of time,
and his time is never fastened. Some
times he stays long enough to become a
member of the tribe and he marries into
the kings family.
An amusing feature of this custom is
the fact that INDECENT members of the
tribe sometimes leave their village and
60 to other villages and become stran-
gers, so that very often when familiar
face has been missed from certain viii
lage, and have asked where so and so
went or what became of him, some one
has gravely informed me that so and so
was poor and become stranger. Sub
sequently l have run across lazy so and
so in distant village living on the fat
of the land as stranger and being
treated to royal hospitality. There are
no beggars in Africa. When man or
woman becomes too. poor to get along
comfortably, he or she makes the circuit
of the adjacent villages as stranger.
