CannibaIs of the Niger.

Mr.. Fl. II. Johnston, the British consul
at CAMERON, recently made trip up the
Cross river, which empties into the
Gulf of Guinea, about $50 miles east of
the main branch of the Niger. Mr. John
ston is well known by his geographical
work on the Congo and his book on Mount
Kilima-N iaro. He had not assembled the
river more than fifty miles before the
people he met began to be very wild and
eXcitable. In a communication Just pub
hshed in the Proceedings of the Royal
Geographical Society, Mr. Johnston saws
the people are all inveterate eannibals
They are continually fighting with each
other in order to supply their larders with
fresh food In one hut which he entered
a smoked human ham was hanging from
the smoke blackened rafters, and above a
hundred skulls were ranged around the
upper part of the clay walls. One old
chief who wished to convince Johnston
of his very friendly feeling took neck
lace from his neck and presented it TO the
white man. The ornament was made of
human knuckle bones.
At one point on the river where the
traveller was received with great apparent
friendship, he learned that the natives
were debating the question whether to
treat the visitors as honored guests or to
eat them, or at any rate to eat the Kroo
boys who had padded Mr.. Johnston up
the river. He decided that it would not
be safe to extend his explorations fur
Their, and he started down the river while
the natives We're still debating what to
do with him. AS he turned his canoe
down stream, however, the noisy villa
/ gers gave chase. and there were a few
minutes of terrible anxiety when the
/ canoe ran aground, and hundreds of the
( yelling savages attempted to wade across
the shallow water and seize the fugitives.
Even little children, Johnston says,
armed themselves with knives, and,
standing ankle deep in the water,
shrieked at the top of their voices that
/ they would like to eat the white man.
| The explorer, however, managed to keep
out of the clutches Of the savages, and to
I get away without fring,-New York Sun.

A WONDERFUL RAILROAD.
From Moscow to st. Petersburg ivan anc
His Friend.


When the railway was first opened be-
tween Moscow and st. Petersburg it was
an object of great terror to the supersti-
tious peasantry of northern Russia, who
thought there must certainly be some
witchcraft or magic ia an invention which
could make a train of heavy cars run
along without horses at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, when the best
speed OF the wagons to which they were
accustomed was only three miles an hour,
or four at the very outside
Some of them would not even go within
sight Of train, and made the sign of the
cross whenever they heard one rattle past
Others peeped timidly over the palisade
OF the railway station to catch a glimpse
of the smoke breathing creature, which
they believed to be living monster, and
when the steam whistle sounded they
cried out. Hear him screamingl He's
hungry, and wants to eat somebody and
took to their heels ut once.
But little by little this terror began to
wear away. The village priests were seen
to go to and fro by train, and the simple
country folk thought that what they did
could not be wrong By degrees the
peasants themselves began to try the
''smoke wagons" too, and one day an old
man named Ivan Petrovitch Masloff, who
had never been out of his own village till
then, made up his mind to go and have
look at Mother Moscow, :" which all Rus
sian peasants reverence az the finest city
in the world, and the real capital of
Russia.
Now it happened that the down express
and the up express met each other at the
station Of Bologoe midway between Mos
COW and st. Petersburg, where the pass
engers of both trains stopped half an
hour to have supper. Among the crowd
of people that got out of the other train
Ivan suddenly recognized an old friend
The two went into the refreshment room
together, had chat over their steaming
tumblers of tea and lemon juice, and then
Ivan, without thinking Of what he was
doing, got into his friends train instead
OF his own, and was soon travelling back
toward the spot whence he had started
Their talk went on merrily for while,
for lyan's friend never thought of asking
the old man which way he was going
But presently Ivan began to grow silent
and grave, as if pondering something
which puzzled him very much; and at
length, after sitting for nearly five min
utes without uttering a word, he sud
denly broke out:
''Ah, Pavel Yurievitch" paul, son of
George, what wonderful thing these
railroads are, to be surel Here am | going
to Moscow, and here are you going to St.
Petersburg, and yet were both travelling
in the same car!"-David Her in Harper 5
Magazine.

His Best Girls Photo.

1t is the proper thing for the young
man who can afford it TO keep the photo
graph of his best girl, framed in solid sill
yer, standing on his writing desk. The
frames are about an inch broad, and are
plain or fancy to suit the taste, but the
majority of those imported from England
are fancy. The figures include cherubs
and cherub faces, heads of beasts, heads
of COLLINS, forms of elfs, masks of fierce
aspect, and a running vine Of some sort,
that twiues in and out among the figures.
The inner edge of one very pretty frame
is made of a rope, with a square knot
where the ends of the rope come together
at the bottom. The frames cost OF tho
average $50 each.-New York sun.

mind BY the thought of the next, of many
other pressing things which must be done
in given time.
There is no repose, no rest for the mind
from morning till night, no time or incli-
nation to dismiss thought or care if for
ever SO few minutes, and at last there is
no capacity for SO doing. This habit Of
mind grows into fixed one. 1t leads
away from precision. 1t leads away from
exactness. 1t leads away from order or
method 1t does lead even brilliant intel

The Indians Ethical Qualities.

The only results of Indian education
have actually witnessed are those which l
have seen at Hampton, Va, and Carlisle,
Pa. The Indian mind appears to be a
slow moving mind. The Indian is less
quick to initiate than the negro, bpt his
ethical qualities appear to me to be higher
Imagination but keener sense of honor
and integrity. He is more honest, more
truthful, more faithful. if he is fairly
treated. There is some truth in the
charges made against him of lying and
stealing: but these vices are chiefly due
to his ready adoption of the motto that
"all is fair in war" and his relations
with the white races have been for years
those of almost constant warfare. lyman
