recognize the invincible power of the
few; for in all great moral questions it
was not majorities that were going to
prevail, but the men of conviction
against the men of theory. She hoped

A REFORMED AFRICAN KING.

He Becomes . Teetotaler, quits Killing
People, and Stops tho Slave Trade.
A few years ago King Lewanika, the
ruler of the great Ba ROtse people on
the Upper Zambesi, was held up to the
world by number of travellers as par
ticularly hideous and despicable Afri-
can ruler. Almost every day he in
dulged in the pastime of human sacri-
fees. He was constantly fitting out ex-
petitions to capture slaves, and he
seemed to embody all the vices and
none of the virtues of the native Princes
of Africa.
The missionary, Colliard, who became
famous for the succor which he gave to
Serpa Pinto, which undoubtedly saved
the life of that explorer, now writes
that King Lewanika has turned over a
new leaf. Colliard and some other mis-
sionaries have been in the Kings coun-
try for a number of years, and the good
influence of this admirable man and his
assistants doubtless explains the
change that has come over the dusky
monarch. Colliard says that within the
last three years the King has not offered
up q single victim as sacrifice He
has also become teetotaler, and he
also tries to prevent his chiefs from in
dulging in drink. He does not permit
the sale of native beer in his capital.
There is good deal of grumbling over
this mandate of the King, but those
who live in his chief town and the
neighborhood are compelled to obey
him.
He has also ceased to send out slave
raiding expeditions, and does not per-
nit his people to sell slaves to caravans
This year large caravan of black mer-
chants came from Bihe, and the King
learned that his people had sold quite
number of slaves to the caravan. Be-
fore the merchants left his country
King Lewanika liberated all the slaves
and imposed fine upon the merchants
by confiscating part of their ivory.

More than two tons of ether are car

The headquarters of ether drinking is

persons is more or less etheromaniac.
On market and fair days, wherever

that the smell is overpowering, nauseat-

sexes and of all ages have become slaves
to this degrading and intractable dis
ease. Women drink rs much as men.
One great advantage of ether from the
point of view of the etheromanic is this:
You can get drunk and get sober again
SO much more rapidly.
The drinker Of ether can become intoxicated
and regain sobriety before the drinker OF n
cohol7 has really become properly intoxicated.
