A Fetish Man,

From "Fetishism in Congo Land, "
by one of Stanley's pioneer officers,
printed in the Century, we quote as
follows:
The fetish man under any name is the
authority on all matters connected with
the relations of man to the unseen. He
is the exorciser of spirits, the maker of
charms and the prescriber aud regulator
OF all ceremonial rites. He can discover
who "ate the heart" of the chief who
died but yesterday, who it was who
caused the canoe to upset, and give
three lives to the crocodile and the dark
waters of the Congo, or even who
blighted the palm trees of village and
dried up their sap, causing the supply of
malafu, or palm wine, to cease, or drove
away the rain from a district and with
cred its fields of nguba (ground nutsl.
All this is within the ken of the Nganga
Nkisi, and he is appealed to on all these
occasions to discover the culprit, by his
insight into the spirit world, and hand
him or her to the just chastisement of au
outraged community. This is the only
substitute for religion that the African
savage possesses; its tencts are vague and
untormulated, for with every tribe aud
every district belief varies and rites and
ceremonies are as diverse as the fancies
of the fetish men who prescribe them.

WISE WORDS.

Sometimes the weakest doubt skaters

The less sense fool has the more

Strange how much more pride a man

There is sixth sense; it is the sense

The vulgar rejoice in the vices Of

When one is tempted to give up all
for love, it is wise to retain a remnant
for him to live upon.
The fewer secrets a girl has when she

Some women's faces are, in their

their sadness, history.

Time is indeed the theatre and seat
of illusions; nothing is so ductile. The

How the Spider Undresses.

Did you ever see spider change his
skim 1t is an interesting sight one
that will we'll repay any one for the time
lost in waiting for the novel event to
take place, says writer who knows.
When preparing for the change the spider
stops eating for several days and makes
his preliminary arrangements by fastening
himself by short thread Of web to one
of the main lines ofhis snare; this to hold
him firmly while he proceeds to undress.
First the skin cracks all around the thorax,
being held only by the fore part. Next
the abdomen is uncovered, and then
comes the struggle to free the legs. He
works and kicks vigorously, seeming to
have a very hard time of it. Fifteen
minutes of continued perseverance, how
ever, brings him out of his old dress, the
struggle causing him to appear limp and
lfeless for some time after it is finished.
Gradually he comes back to life, brighter
and more beautiful than before the try
ing ordeal was begun.-NeW Orleans

Says the Washington Post "The
careless and apparently indiscriminate
manner with which the courts of to day
destroy the wills of rich men, docu-
mcnts that embody the purpose aud OBJ

of the notable and notorious abuses Of
the day, and against this evil there is ris-
ing a vigorous demand for rcctitication
and reform"

A Clever LitLlo Boy.

The gopher only remains few seconds
in his hole, when he feels an irresistible
desire to come out again and look about
him. Taking advantage of a knowledge
of this habit of theirs, a little boy, eight
years old, who was lost for ten DAYS in
the praries of Assiniboia, $50 miles north
of the Canadian Pacific Railroad line, in
1886, was able to save his life The boy
wore lace boots with leather laces, and
used to spread a moose made with a
boot lace over hole when he had seen a
gopher 60 in; be would then lie down
and wait for him to come out again.
When the gopher, according to his wont,
put his head out to see the world, the
little boy pulled the string, caught him
by the neck and ate him. As there was
plenty Of ram water in the holes about,
the boy got along very well in this way
till search party rescued him. Block

SPAN is busily preparing for the cele-
bration of the 400th anniversary of the
landing of Columbus in America. The
Society of Americanists, which has de-
voted itself to the study of everything
relating to America, will hold a Congress
on October 10, 1892, at the convent of
La Rabida, where Columbus found shell
ter while he was planning his expedi-
tion. Spain's methods of celebrating the
anniversary may not appeal so much to
the popular taste MS might have a great
Exposition, but in their scientific and
historic aspect they will be in keeping
with an event so far-reaching in its ef-
fects on civilization.

Country ROads.

There is not rural town within board
ing distance of great city which could
not at slight expense assure itself all the
city boarders that it could accommodate
by the simple process of systematically
and intelligently improving and beauti-
flying its roads. If it were to appoint a
Town Committee with power to employ
experts, or to obtain expert advice, and
to carry out the suggestions thus obtained
IN road improvement, the mere public
advertisement of that proceeding would
attract boarders from all directions. The
expense would not be great. In nearly
every case the gravel or cracked stone
necessary for the construction of a SER
viceable, well.draIned road can be OBJ
tanned within moderate distance. There
is, for example, in some parts of Orange
County, in New York State, a kind of
soft red sand stone to be found in great
abundance, which crushes readily under
tho wheels and makes hard, firm road
bed, which is never dusty and never
muddy, which is yielding to the horses
feet and most agreeable to ride over.
Ordinary gravel can be used with almost
equally good results. The main thing is
to secure something like scientific knowl-
edge in the construction of the road and
in the mixture of materials. The vicious
idea that anybody can make a road by
shoveling dut into the middle of it from
the gutter, or, what is the same thing in
wholesale form, hauling it there by
means of a "scraper," must be abandoned
at the outset, and not only abandoned
but prohibited. Until that is done no
reform will be possible. Century Maya

Electric Lights and Eyesight.

DR.. John II. Payne, Boston oculist,
says: "Most persons who use the incan-
descent electric light like a new lamp be.
cause the light is whittier aud more bril-
liant than after the lamp has been in use
for two or three weeks. This is wrong.
1t is this dazzling white light that harms
the eye. An old lamp is the best, for in
these the light has become changed to
pale yellow, which is the ideal color.
Just as in monday brightness human
sight is not 50 clear and far-reaching as
at the yellow sunset, so new iucande-
scent burner is not so good for the eye as
an old one. An old burner so adjusted
and shaded that the light from il does
not shine in tho face, is the ideal arti-
fetal light. An argand gas burner comes
next. The use OF the arc light should be
confined to street lamps. Some store
keepers still use them, but they are terri
bly, hurtful to the eye. This is because
the intensity of the light is constantly
changing, and this jumping of the blaze
is much worse for the eye than the
flicker Of the gaslight. l have had oc-
easlon to treat a great many people for
Inflammation of the retina caused by
working by the light of are lamps. ~

A profound sensation has been created
in Italy by the report that French house
sent 100, 000 Remington cartridges to
King Mouelek, of Abyssinia, by way of
O5ock. As Italy considers Mouelek to
be under italian protection, this is re-
gsrded as an interference with Italian
rights, and has not served to hasten the
revival of friendly relations between
France and Italy, A good share of the
Italians, however, would like to give up
African adventures altogether, one of the
Roman newspapers saying that "when
the whole truth is Known, the necessity
Of abandoning the entire enterprise will
be seen, and there will be only one more
research necessary, namely to find some
one vet more foolish than ourselves who
viii take the charge upon their shoul-
ders."

The Atlanta Constitution rems- ::
First-class typo-written copy is hailed
with pleasure in newspapers and maya
zine offices, but very little of it is first
class. 1t is a positive relief to get a
manuscript legibly written on white pa
per in good black ink, with a pen that
makes a broad stroke. The trouble with
many writers is that they use pen with
fine point, and write hair-line scrawl
that is hard to read. 1t is possible to
make written copy as plain as print, and
this is what every writer should do.

the risk Of explosion on board these ships
through the oil becoming heated by the

The best idea of the value of the Bes-

simple fact that when Bessemer began
experimenting steel sold in England at
from $3.50 to $500 gross ton. He soon
made better steel at $50 ton.
For stopping the freezing of exhaust

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 2O.-It will be re-
membered that short time ago word
was received that two vessels, com
manded respectfully by Dan and Alex
ander Mclean, natives of Cape Breton,
had been seized and the captains made
prisoners off the Copper islands for seal
in Bhering sea. The friends of the two
captives appealed to the Dominion
government TO secure their release, and
the minister of marine promised to look
into the matter, and through the British
authorities draw the attention of the
Russian government to breach of the
neutrality laws, should it be found that
the McLeanes sailed in a Canadian yes
sci, and had retained allegiance to the
British Crown. Tonight a telegram
from the collector of customs at Victoria
B. c., states the McLeans were sailing
American vessels, and it was reported
they had become American citizens.
There is confirmation given to the latter
statement by facts showing that only
naturalized citizens of the United States
can sail American vessels. The Ameri-
can relatives of the McLeans will now
seek the assistance of the United States
government to secure their release.
