can abide by it Enthusiastically.
The ticket in the fret wsrI is q good one
and with the proper amount of work il

In the third and fourth wards the tickets

good candidates.
In the fifth ward tried and true mel

CHAPTER XVI.
HARRY SHELTON.

The article in question had been taken
from an Australian paper, the Morning Her
aid, of Sidney. 1t read as follows: 'Tt
will be remembered that the last attempt,
made seven years ago by the Molly's Hope,
to discover what had become of the sur
vivors of the Dreadnaught, ended in moth
ing, and the belief was forced upon the
world that they had all perished, either be-
fore running on Browse Island or after
leaving it. The mystery still remains as
great as ever, although one of the officers of
the Dreadnaught has just reached Sydney.
1t is none other than Harry Shelton, the
mate of the clipper ship. He was found on
the banks of the Paroo, one of the branches
of the Darling, almost on the boundary line
of New South Wales and Queensland, and
brought to Sydney. But such is his weak
and reduced condition that as yet he has
been unable to give any account of himself,
and the physician in charge announces that
his death may occur at any moment This
notice is given in hopes that it may reach
the eyes of those interested in the fate of the
Dreslnaught."
On July q, the moment Andrew Hollis

newspapers In everyone Of the big cities OF
Mexico I visited, and there is no perfecting
press In all Mexico. The presses in use are
of the old French style made after patterns
which have long since been abolished. The
amount paid for telegraphic service in
Mexico City ranges from 81 to s25 per week
per newspaper, and only the leading news
papers pay anything for kilograms In con-
trast to this / know some American news
papers, not in New York either, which pay
S6, 600 per week each for their kilograms
As to newspaper correspondents these are
paid by getting copy of the paper free,
and the papers throughout are run on
economical ground.
THE PRICES FOR TYPEsErTINo.
The printers get from 28 to 35 cents per
thousand ems and good foreman receives
a salary of $40 per week Suoh printers as
are on salaries get from S6 to $12 per week,
and all of these sums are in Mexican money
which is worth only IS cents to the dollar.
There seems to be good chance in Mexico
for the establishment of paper factories. All
kinds of stationery are very expensive and
ordinary printing paper is made and sold
here at from 13 to 16 cents q pound. The
same quality of paper is sold in the United
States at from 3 to 4 cents a pound, but the
duties are so great and the freights so heavy
that little is to be saved by importing it. It
costs at least 10 cents a pound to bring
paper from the United States to Mexico
City and this sum must be paid for consular
fees at the port of shipment, custom house
fees of many kinds and there is duty of
cents a pound in addition to the freights
and fines. The Mexican Government makes
almost as much off of its fines as from its
duties. The least error in q consular in
voice or merchants statement brings forth
a heavy fine and this is the case even where
the mistake is in favor of the Government
and against the importer.
GIVING IMPORTERS THE DOUBLE, CROSS.
If, for instance you should import 35
pounds of paper and in your invoice the
amount should be put down as 40 pounds,
making you pay a tax on more than you
have, the Customs House officials would
hne you, and when it is remembered that
this system extends to every class of ship
ments 1t is no wonder that Mexico gets
SS5, OOO, 600 year out of its Custom Houses.
1t is from the heavy duties and from these
numerous fines that the grea. profit on
home manufacture arises in Mexico.
Everything here is protected to such an
extent as to almost prohibit competition
and there is no better field in the world for
enterprises. Such as have

his life had been since the wreck Of th
Dreadnaught on the reefs of Browse Island,
in a word, to have the mystery cleared up.
Harry Shelton was carried to the nearest
point in railway communication with sgd
ney and thence to that city. The news OF
his arrival in the capital was first made public
by the Morning Journal, extracts from which
article have already been given, and fiom
which it appeared that the mate Of the
clipper ship had not as yet recovered con-
sciousness sufficiently to reply to questions
put to him.
Mrs Allaire never would have recog-
nized Shelton, so changed was he. Al
though only 46, he had the appearance of
man of 60. This man, or rather this pitia-
BILE wreck of humanity, was the only hui
man being able to tell what had become OF
Captain John and his crew. Up till now
the most tender nursing had been inetfec-
tual to bring about improvement IN Shell
tons condition. condition due, no doubt, to
the terrible fatigues undergone during tho
weeks, who can say, possibly months Of his
wandering across Central Australia A
sinking fit might at any moment extinguish
the spark of life still aglow within him.
Since he had been in this hospital it would
have been impossible for him to open his
eyes without the attendants knowing
whether he had regained consciousness or
not. He took no notice of those who adj
ministered nourishment to him as q Oh

AFRICAN PIGMIES.
How the Discovery of One of Them Fur
nished Food for Stanley.
FRANK G. CARPENTER.

How the Discovery of One of Them Fur
nished Food for Stanley.
E. j. Glabe in August st. Nicholas
During the very hungriest time spent by
Stanleys expedition in going through the
dense forest it happened that the discovery
OF littl; child of the dwarf tribe proved
truly providentia'.
Upon approaching one of the settlements
of these people, the natives, fearing that
the Arabs were upon them, hastily re-
treated to the depths of the Jungle, leaving
in the village one of the young children.
He was an ungainly little creature, and
from Saleh's description had an enormously
big head, protruding lower jaw, lean frame
and ungainly fat body. The Zanzibaris sat
about i'll detected groups, complaining of
their present hard existence, and the sad
contrast of to-day with their joyous life in
their island home away in the Indian Ocean.
The little Teki-Teki (pigmy), although
not more than years old, was busily
searching for something in the dry leaves.
The Zanzibaris were attracted by the child's
activity. Presently the sparkle OF his eyes
and the increased earnestness of his hunt
showed that he had been successful; and, in
deed, he returned to the campfire carrying
lot of pods like enormous beans These
he scraped to fine powder, which he
damped, rolled in some big leaves, and then
toasted in the ashes. When cooked to his
satisfaction he opened the dainty package
and the whole camp became filed with the
pleasant odor of this new dish. The men of
the expedition then closed arourd and,
much to the young Teki-Teki's disgust,
helped themselves to tasting pinch. The
Zanzibaris knew the tree quite well it was
the "makneme." This new discovery
brought CLEAN of hope to the hearts of
these hungry beings, The capture OF the
tiny woodsman was a godsend, and Saleh
said that had this unhappy little creature
but fairly understood their language he
would have been overwhelmed with the
heartfelt blessings showered on him. A
few days afterward another tribe of these
same small people was met, and the child
was handed over to them to be returned to
his parents.
