WHEN TO GIVE.
The Only Surc Way of Having Ones Plans

Tho Only Sure Way of Having Ones Plans
Carried Out.
There died the othor day In New York
an old merchant, who had been ALWAYS
conspicuous for intelligcntly directed
energy In business and for simplicity of
living. He WIS not put down on tho
short list Of the greet milEonnires, nor
even on that longer ono of men who,
though not millionnircs, were still very
wealthy. Tho modesty of his living
had placed him on the list of tho fairly
well TO do. His success in business, his
unostcntatious life, his high character
as man, citizen and merchant, all
testified to his good sense, Judgment
and ability.
When his will was opened, says tho
philadelphia Ledger, 1t was found that
iho died the possossor of several millions,
,variously estimated ut from six to ten;
lit was also found that he had devised n
very largo part of his fortune to q num-
Der of colleges, and had done 1t In the
:case of each of them in such free nnd
iintclligent manner as TO again domon-
,strate his good sense and sound judg-
mont. lie did not, as 30 many do,
make n onc-sidcd antc-morteln bargain
with the recipients of his bounty that
they should use it In the erection of
buildings, OF in the endowment of
chairs. or in any other way Loading to
the pcrpctuation of his namo and his
charitable disposition. He mado no
bargain at oil with them, but ordered
tho various requests to thcm to DO used
as in the Judgment of tho colleges
should to them seem best
Wiso and generous us no was In giving
we'll, he lacked tho wisdom of giving
timely. Like so many others who have
greatly desired that the wealth nocumu-
lated by them should go to the helping
OF the world, he intrustcd tho worl, of
distribution to executors, instead of do
ing 1t himself. Tho result Is tho rather
common onc-his will is contcstcd; Is,
If possible, to be set aside, ind his be-
novolent purposes arc TO be defeated
HID he himself done In life that which
no directed his executors to do when he
wns dend, he would have had tho assur-
anco that it was certainly and well
done. The great schools, tho usefulness
of which he desired to increase, would
have Ind their usefulness increased be-
yond oil pcrndventure, and his light of
chnrity would have so shono before men
rs TO serve ms ON example and ON in
ccntive TO others to emulate It. As tits,
his purposes of well-doing may all DO
frustrated, md the millions which he
wished should, and which no anticipated
would. be employed in extending tho
beneficial influences of enlightened edu-
cation, may be spent In costly Legal con-
tcntion, OF otherwise less profltably
than he who wrought for them intended
they should be spent. To give most
surely every man should himself give,
and give timely, during his own active
life, to the end that his designs shall
not be set aside.

THE ZAMBESi RIVER.
1t uaG Hccn Found Nnvlgabso by LARGO
Ocean Vessels.

1t IIaS Dcen Found Nnvigabso by Largo
Ocean Vessels
= 1t has long been known that the Fam
best river is tho third or fourth Earnest
river in Africa In its central md up-
per portions, however, it can not BIO nav
ignted on account OF rapids and falls.
Its lower course, also, has not been
available for navigation from tho sea.
because us far TIC was known not ono of
tho streams which form its dclta could
be nnvigated by L secgoing vessel. Two
years ago MIR. Daniel Rankin surprised
geogrnphers by reporting thnt tho
Chinde mouth Of the Zambesi could be
traversed ut all states Of tho tide by ocean
vessels The news was received with
considerable incredulity, says tho New
York Sun, bat Rankin was known to be
careful man, and his report upon his
discovery was exhaustive and seemed
to BIO conclusive. He surveyed the
Chindc river and his map was widely
published.
On the recent expedition Of II. II.
Johnston he proved the accuracy Of
Ranlsins report. He assembled the
Chinde mouth Of the Zambesi In n
steamer drawing thirteen feet of water.
~A',N ADO NiiASAey Nb ull III TchCn1n&
tho main river Her Majcsty's ship
.Stork, in which he made this Journey,
is certainly tho largest vessel that has
yet been on the Znmbesi. IIo left the
Storls when she had steamed forty miles
up the river, rs it was not deemed nd
visable to take her beyond the tidal in
fucnco. The rest of his Journey up the
Inmbcsi md Shir; rivers was mndo IN
small boats.
Tho old route to the Shirt was along
tho Quaqua river from Quilimane, q
journey requiring several days of tedious
travel in canoes until they reached Mo-
nea, where the Qunqun Is separated
from the Zainbcsi by thrcc miles of fat
and swamp At this point all the goods
had to be carried overland to the Zam-
bczi. involving great doal of work
Now, Mr. Johnston says, tho trip
which formerly required seven DAYS
from the sea to the mouth of the Shirt
river can be made by steamer on the
Chindc and Zambcsi In three days, and
small ocean-going vessels can travel
from Europe and penetrate Africa for q
considerable distance In this direction.
1t has therefore been discovered that
the Zambesi will be moro useful to COM
