Boys, Keep Away from Africa.

Two or three weeks ago three young
men. each having over $1,000 in cash,
left Pittsburg for Africa to explore.
About dozen letters have been re-
ceived from boys referring to this Incl
dent and asking for advice or informa-
ton. Had the three young men set out
for an idiot asylum. calculating to ask
to be taken in and cared for during the
remainder CT their lives, they would
have exhibited more common sense.
Africa is not country where every
Tom, Dick and Harry can go roaming
about ut will. All the seaports are in
the hands of Egyptians, Moors, French,
Germans or English. Any one has a
legal right to land, but not every one
has legal right to go gallivanting
around the country.
Stanley had to have the backing of
two governments to enable him to do So
A correspondent of The New York
World was threatened with arrest if he
went beyond certain boundaries. A
young man who has no better sense
than to set out on such an expedition
ought to have guardian, and that
guardian ought to have legal permission
to tan his jacket ten times day.-M

The Railroad Must Paw.

A verdict for $1,000 damages was rem
dered in the court of common pleas
against the Western Maryland Railroad
company and in favor of Mrs. Mary A.
Herold. The accident for which dam
ages were claimed occurred on Sept. II,
1885, at the Wilson Sanitarium grounds.
Mrs. Herold had taken a child to the
sanitarium to spend the day, and in the
evening with others boarded the car,
which had been left on a switch. Some
one, presumably a child, released the
brake, and the car started down small
incline toward the main track. A panic
ensued among the passengers, and Mrs.
Herold, who was then 63 years old,
jumped to the ground, breaking her
right shoulder blade and left leg. The
verdict was for the full amount claimed.
Col. Charles Marshall, counsel for the
railroad, gave notice that he would ap-
ply for new trial.-Baltimore Sun.

Boston Wants to Come Nearer.

1t is gratifying to observe that the
business men of Boston are disposed to
make an active effort to secure quicker
time by rail between this city and New
York. The members of the Executive
Business association have discussed the
question, and have come to the very sem
siblc conclusion that the public interests
Of the city demand better service, and
that such service can be secured
without prejudice to the interests Of
the railroads connecting the two cities. "
No one who has studied the conditions
involved, and who knows of how much
the modern railway is capable, will doubt
this. a new line would probably not be
profitable enterprise, but it is within
the power of the existing lines to reduce
the time of the journey by express trains
from six honrs to five, and there is no
sufficient reason for delaying to do so.-

Who Will BE the Next Pope?

1t is stated that the French and Span
ish cardinals are concerning for the NOM
ination Of Cardinal Zigliara as the sue
cessor to Leo XIII. The general feeling
is that at the next conclave the election
Of a foreign pope is impracticable, the
only available non-Italian members Of
the Sacred College being the Swiss Car
dinal Mermillod, and the American Car
dinal Gibbons. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that either of these will emerge as
the successor Of Leo XIII.
The nomination of Cardinal Zigliara,
who is q Dominican monk, is not alto
gether unlikely. He is n native of Cor
sica, but, strange to say, he took out let
tiers Of naturalization as "a subject of the
ex-Pontifcal states. He is a man Of
great learning and quite outside all po-
litical questions. | have reason to be-
lieve that if the pope died tomorrow
Cardinal Zigliara would be sure of near
ly forty votes. His only opponents would
be the Jesuits, whose nominee is Cardi-
nal Monaco Ia Valetta. Cor. Lon

Chopped or His Own Hand by Accident.
Graham Il. Holtzclaw, a well known
young attorney, cut off his own left
hand with hand AK. He had arrived
home late for breakfast with steak
which he desired the cook, Mary, to pre-
pare for him. In a good natured way
he told her that If she would cook the
steak he would cut some kindling. With
milestone he sharpened a. hand AK.
the blade Of which is about i've inches
broad, and proceeded to cut the kim
ding.
Taking a soggy piece of pine block, he
held it upright on the chopping block,
and aimed heavy blow to split it. The
block slipped as the ak blade descended,
and the young mans left hand was
thrown under the blade. The blade
struck his wrist at the joint, and the
hand was completely severed, rolling to
the ground beside the block.
Holtzclaw seized the stump of the left
arm in his right hand and called for
help. The cook, with great presence of
mind, held the arm between both of her
hands tightly, stopping the squirting
blood, and the injured young man called
for a string. With a stout cord the
stump of the arm was tied so as to
effectually prevent bleeding

feel convinced that, if the teachers
were not opposed TO it, the subject
would ere now have been more widely
taught, and shall therefore say few
words in anticipation of difficulties. 1t
has been suggested that materials would
be scarce in winter. Not ut all. Let
the children be familiarized with the
observation and comparison Of the pecul-
iarities Of a sprig Of holly as coptrasted
with one Of ivy. or let them be shown
how different are the buds and leafess
shoots Of the beech from those Of the
oak or q horse chestnut. Show them
how to observe the bud scales, how to
infer the leaf arrangement from the
scars, how to notice the color, rough
ness, markings, ETC., of the periderm.
Or give them Introductory notions as
to the nature of hyacinth bulb as con-
trasted with the potato tuber, combining
their attention to points which they can
make out by observation. Every nut or
orange or apple that the child eats might
be made interesting if teachers would
dare step over the traces of convention
and introduce such ostensibly dangerous
articles into clas5work. And why not!
The doctrine of rewards and punish
ments is applied more crudely than this
in most children's schools.

A Costly Fan without an Owner.

One of the prettiest things in the mu-
scum of the dead letter Office is lady's
fan made Of stork feathers, the plumes
being rarer and richer than the finest
ostrich plumes. 1t is most magnificent

costume of some court beauty in the Old
World. 1t came to this country from
Europe many years ago, but no clew to
its owner or origin was ever obtained.
In one of the cases there is box Of we'd
ding cake, which came to the dead letter
Office six years ago as unclaimed. 1t is
getting little old and discolored, but
by this time would probably be pretty
dry eating. Considering its present
characteristics it might be excellent
wedding cake to dream on" 1t GER

The historic old cotton mill, where Ark
wright first set up his cotton spinning
machinery, caught fire, and, though six

ford, has used one portion of it for fin
ishing and storing the goods made at

One Vote.

1t is fifty-one years since one vote de-
cided that Marcus Morton, and not Ed
ward Everett, should be governor OF
Massachusetts,. Judge Morton had been
a candidate for Office thirteen successive
years when he was chosen by this meager
majority. The state cast just trifle
over 100, 900 votes at that election. Two
years later Judge Morton was elected
governor by one majority a second time.
This one majority was, however, then in
the legislature, the people having made
no choice. These occurrences were very
remarkable. They are called to mind by
the one vote majority just given in the
Tenth aldermanic district of Boston,

The Ladies' Lecture Association.

The Ladies' Lecture association of
Paw Paw is pleased To announce that a
very excellent and attractive course OF
lectures and entertainments has been
secured for the coming winter. The
plan provides for seven evenings and Is
of varied nature. Care has been taken
that each entertainment shall be par
excellence i'm its line.
Russell H. Conwell, DR.. James He'd
ley, Leland L. Powers, Roberts Harper,
Hon. Samuel Phelps Leland, and the
Redpath Star Concert Co. have been
definitely arranged for, while the plan
for the seventh evening is left flexible,
with the assurance that 1t Will be OF
value.
Russell III. Conwell is pastor of Grace
church, one of the largest in Philadel-
phia. He has had an extended expert
ence upon the lecture platform, and OF
him the New York EUening Post says
''He is uneXcelled by any orator in
America, and perhaps the equal of any
in the world in those marvellous des-
criptive powers" OF DR.. James Hedley
it is unnecessary to speak, as SO many
of our people have heard him and Will
gladly welcome him again. Leland /.
Powers occupies front rank as an clo-
cutionist and impersOnator. In regard
to him Philadelphia association said:
1--WE should have had him sooner If we
had known him before, and shall have
him again if we can get him." Roberts
Harper will present an illustrated lee
ture. He has tirst-class endorsement.
John H. Vincent writes of him: "His
views were the finest ever shown al
Chautauqua and his lectures were char
acterized by good taste and pleasant
delivery" Samuel Phelps Leland de-
livers popular scientific lectures and
seems to give entire satisfaction wher-
ever heard. The Redpath Star Concert
company is highly spoken of by leading
papers in the large cities as well us in
places of less size and note.
The ladies offer this course with Il
great deal of confidence, inasmuch as
each feature is SO highly recommended
by experienced and reliable parties
Many of these lecturers are being en-
gagged for second and third appear
ances, than which no better endorse
ment could be given.

A PYGMY CAMP.
How the Dwarfs of tho Great African For
est Build and Live.

How the Dwarfs OF tho Great African For
est Build and Live.
Their villages, situated under the i'm
pervious foliage of the largest clump Of
trees to be found near the locality where
they propose camping, struck us as being
comfortable, snug and neat. have seen
ninety-two huts in one of these villages,
arranged in a circle of about fifty yards
in diameter. The pygmy camps are gen.
orally found at the crossways, where two
or more paths intersect, and are from two
to three miles distant from agricultural
settlements. Our anxieties always less
ened on meeting them, for the more
paths we found the more we were as
sured of food and the roads improved.
Sometimes these forest villages were
planted midway between parallel lines
of settlements. A short walk from our
camp through the woods, north or south,
would take us to plantations large enough
to supply regiment with food. One
time we came to group of dwarf vii
lagos whence broad path six feet wide
communicated with another group three
miles distant. This road was revela-
ton. 1t informed us that the tribe was
more than usually powerful; that it was
well established; that the chief possessed
power, and was permitted to exercise it.
Outside of the great kingdom of Uganda
we had not seen in Africa cut road
longer than half mile.
The huts in every pygmy camp were
of tortoise back figure. The doorways
were not more than three feet high, and
wele placed at the ends, one being for
daily use, and the other, which fronted
the bush, for escape. Those for constant
convenience looked out on the circular
common and pointed to the center, where
stood the tribal chiefs hut, as though the
duty of every household was to watch
over the safety of him who ruled the
community.
We rarely found a hut higher than
four feet six inches. In length they va
ried from seven to ten feet, while the
width would be from four and half feet
to seven. In what appeared to be old es-
tablished camps we found rough cots
constructed, which were raised a few
inches above the ground, after the style
of our own forest touches. Several lay
ers of phrynium leaves make luxurious
bed.-Henry NJ. Stanley in Scribner's.
