stanIey's zanzIhar Roy.

Salli is a Zanzibar boy whom STAN
ley brought from Africa, and who ac-
companies him on his lecturing tour.
He is very intelligent and speaks five
languages fluently, but he does not
like America, because everybody
makes game of him and tries 70 cheat
him. ''The first night we came to
America" said Salli, Gin the hotel at
night, some one filled my boots with
water, and when l told the in the
Office, he only laughed. Then thenext
day a boy came to me and said
Come home with me and see my
sisters | did, and they stole my
watch, and when told the policeman
on the street, he laughed also" "Do
you like to travel this way better
than on an expedition" was asked
Salli mo: | like expedition much
better, replied Salli promptly. This
way is good enough for women and
children, but men ought to work.
You go too fast this way; you cannot
see anything. In the expedition you

Flowers in London NJ arkets,

The sale OF flowers by auctions one
OF the sights of the Covent Garden
The stands in the wholesale market
are furnished over night, and the
building is open for private buyers
at 4 O'Clock next morning; but all
their business is over at 8 o'clock.
The visitor who attends these purely
trade functions has the advantage OF
very charming flower show, covering
something like three-quarters OF an
acre of space. upon which are ar
ranged tier above tier of blossoming
plants, sometimes extending up and
down, in and out, 70 a total frontage
of roo yards. The auctioneer who
takes his rostrum at 10 O'Clock, adj
dresses himself to the men who are
called "higglers" a kind OF middlemen
who purchase the flowers in lots and
sell them TO the retailers. The Hover
girls cannot afford to trade until the
general customers have had their pick
OF the choicest wares, but taught BY Il
sharp experience, they are able TO
drive very smart bargains, and know
precisely what 10 purchase.
The pale-iaced children OF the alleys
and by streets OF this densely- popu'
lated west central district diligently
haunt the purlieus in the Spring.
They have heard OF green fields and
buttercups and daisies, perhaps have
been told that heswallow and cuckoo
hasten over the sea to spend merry
Summer in English meadows and
copscs; but the punches and baskets
OF Towers which here till them with
delight and wonderment are the only
evidence ofsuch pleasant things hither-
10 vouchsafcd to them. They are to
them tokens from an unknown world.
The daiycd.lj, be ag brightly golden and
OF respectable see, strike them most,
rs they very likely strike all classes OF
visitors. When March is going out

streets ere swept by hail and rain, it

In prison there is now man whom
we will call Jim, and who is a prisoner
on lifesentence. Up tolast spring he
was regarded as desperate danger
GUS man, ready for rebellion at any
hour. He planned a general outbreak,
and was ''given away" by one of the
eonspirators. He plotted general
mutiny or rebellion, and was again be
trayed. He then kept his own counsel
and while never refusing to obey orders
obeyed them like a man who only need
cd backing to make him refuse to.
One day in June party OF strangers
cameto the institution. One was an old
gentleman, the other ladies, and two
OF the ladies had small children. The
guide took one of the children on his
arm, and the other walked until the
party began climbing stairs. Jim was
working near by, sulky and morose as
ever, when the guide said to him:
"Jim, won't you help this little girl
up stairs?"
The convict hesitated, n scowl ON
his face, and the little girl held out her
hand and said
''If you will, guess I'll kiss you"
His scowl vanished in an instant,
and he lifted the child as tenderly as
a father. Hallway up the stairs she
kissed him At the head OF the stairs
she said:
"Now you've got to kiss me, too"

Measures Being Taken for the Safety OF
Employees.
One of the results of the Mammoth mine dis
aster near Scottdale, Pa, will be the presen-
tation to the legislature of mine employers
and employees liability bill The principal
feature of tine new bill will be that superinten-
dents Of mines, fire bosses and inspectors will
be adjudged members of the coal companies,
and not as co-employes, assuming equal risks
with the miners, as the supr eme court has here
fore ad judged them.
The commission viii probably return to Har-
risburg today after giving decision of the
cause. and responsibility for the accident Its
inquiry into the condition of the afflicted fami-
hes showed that they are being well cared for.
The S2S,C00 donated by the company will be
paid orders from the trustees. The CONF
pany will reward all the men who worked in the
mine removing the bodies.
The general blame il placed on the lamps
which ignited the gas, and the remedy is looked
for in the light One of the members of the
state legislature is preparing bill which will
compel the mine owners 10 light their mines
with incandescent electric light lamps.
Superintendent keighly of the mine where
the disaster occurred was vigorously assaulted
yesterday by the widow Of q man who had
persisted in the mine. Some Of her Hungarian
friends came to her assistance and pelted him
with stones. Other miners FASTENED to his
relief and induced his assailnnts to go away.
