one would wonder why men should frown beneath

she would act would the good Lord send them

she geefully skipped to the rivers side and, plac

ripping waters. She watched them until they
disappeared. and waited hopefully their return.
Here she found by her anxious brother to

the little one had cast upon the waters, and joy

It is not generally known that most
African explorers entering the continent
from Zanzibar have been compelled to
fit out chiefly with slaves hired from
their Zanzibar masters. A few weeks
ago the British Antislavery society
issued protest agaidst this practice and
called attention to the fact that the ex-
pedition which 81. 81. Johnston had Just
led into the country was made up Of
slaves. The sultan of Zanzibar las now

of slaves on these expeditions. There is,

Through tho Tunnel.

A railway mail clerk. who has u car to
himself, left it for moment to run for
ward and speak to the engineer as the
train stopped for water at station in
the Allegheny noun tains, Just west of
the great tunnel When the boiler was
filed and the train started he sprang for
his car 81
The entrance to the car was on the
side, and u solitary handle offered itself
to the grasp of the passenger AS the
clerk seized this hurriedly and pulled
himself up he discovered to his horror
that the door had Jared shut. and could
not be opened from the outside.
At that moment the train shot into the
tunnel. The man shrieked for help, but
the noise of the train drowned his cries.
and with both hands grasping the han
die, his feet on the iron step and hia
body glued to the side of the car lest he
should be dashed against the Jagged
wall, he was carried into the darkness.
AS the tunnel is q mile long and the
atmosphere almost sitting, the hapless
mans predicament can be better imag-
ined than described. When the train
came out into daylight again the en-
gineer looked back. as usual, to see if
the train was following. and discovered
the mail clerk in his perilous position.
The train was stopped as quickly as
possible. and the engineer and conductor
hastened to the mans rescue. He was
all but demented, and on being assisted
to the ground fell unconscious
For six months afterward he was un-
der physicians care, and when he had
recovered from the shock he said:

long, and my head, thought, was hol-
how, with the smoke rushing in at my
mouth and nostrils and pouring out
