PROGRESS IN AFRICA.
Railroad and Telegraph Construc-
ton in the Dark Continent.
Thdusands of Native Workmen Busily
Engaged in Opening Up Ii
TrackIess Wilds to
Civilization.

The great progress Of civilization is
marked in nothing more plainly than
in the vast extent Of the railroads built
or contemplated. At this time thou
sands of men are at work in different
regions, leveling q course for them.
The rapids of the Congo will soon be
passed by n railroad from Matadi, at
the head of navigation in the lower
Congo, $40 miles to Stanley pool, which
is at the foot of steam navigation In
the upper Congo river and its great
afluents, through which steamers OF
different sizes may be run for 5000
miles. So that when this railroad Is
built there will be steam communities
ton by this route into h very heart OF
Africa.
The work is being pushed by q force
Of about a thousand blacks directed by
about a hundred whites, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Before next spring 1t
is expected hat the worst part will be
completed and locomotives running
through tho Moose valley to the plains
above. After crossing this valley the
road will run on n plateau several
miles south of the Congo all the way to
Stanley pool. Here 1t a be easily
constructed. In South Africa 5000 men
are leveling the roadbed for a railway
from the diamond fields of Kimberly
north toward the Zambesi, through q
country which was only visited by
hunters and missionaries a few years
ago.
These laborers are accompanied by

CLARK MILLS BIG GIRL.
The Model of the Original Statue of Fros
dom Mt the Smithsonian.

dom Mt the Smithsonian.
One of the points Of interest in Wash
ington not generally appreciated Is the
statue of Freedom on the capitol DOME,
facetiously and Familiarity known as the
big girl. Notwithstanding its colossal
size it is a beautifully proportional f1gI
ure, entitled to artistic admiration, but
it has stood at an altitude that prevent
ed q clear idea of it's clever conception.
For years, says the Chicago Post, the
model of Freedom, which Clark Mills
made after the designs of Thomas Craw-
ford, and which, in addition to the jack
son statue, made him famous as a sculp-
tor, lay In bits in an obscure portion of
the national museum, and 1t is only
within the last six months that an effort
has been made to restore the deserving
original to n recognizable form and to.
give it n place of honor where one may
study instead of merely wonder over the
magnificent proportions.
Now the miniature flshpond which
occupied tho center of the museum
building, and near which Irritation.

into the receptacle for the pedestal, six
feet high, upon which is being gradual
ly piecod and mounted the old model,
1t is already the object of curious spec
ulation from countless visitors, who
imagine it anything from the statue of
Minnehaha to the latter-day Columbia
Very few take the pains to discover
that the piecemeal work of restoring the
original big girl" is being done by the.
son of Clark Mills, who assisted In maxi
ing the design. The figure is twenty.
feet in height and needs only the fore
arms and hands to complete it. The
bunch of feathers on the head, which Is
softened, ''haloed," by BIRDS on the
dome itself, Is a "reminiscences of Jeffer-'
son Davis, which is calculated to win
for him IA hitherto unexpected esteem
among patriotic partisans, who have
been only too willing to accept only the
odium In which his memory has been
clouded.
When the model was made Jefferson
Davis was secretary Of war, and 1t was
to him the sculptor submitted the figure,
with a liberty cap upon the head. To
this detail jeff Davis objected, saying
that it suggested that Americans had at
one time been slaves. The bunch Of
feathers, as typical Of America, was
substituted.
It seems most fitting that SO eminent
a work of art is at last placed in a con4
spicuous position where its beauty In
all its details may be studied and APP
preciated, and where the sublimity Of
both the idea and its conception can
bring a glow to the heart of every spec
| tator.

THE OLDEST LIVING INDIAN.
Muddy Water, Who Fought with ackso
I'm the Seminole War.

Muddy Water, Who Fought with jackson
in the Seminole War.
The oldest living Indian, perhaps, is
Muddy Water, a Seminole chief, residing
In tho family Of DR.. Hamilton, of Semi
mole agency, /. T., who had just entered
his one ~hundredth and ninth year. He
has been blind for some years now and
unable to perform any work, except
that of making baskets, in which he Is
IN expert, producing some very pretty,
tasteful work. Tho old fellow is ex-
tremely garrulous, q most unusual thing
for one Of his race, and Is very proud of
his English, which Is very good. Be-
sides his blindness he Is also a great
sufferer with a wound In his left leg,
which will eventually cause his death.
He claims to have received this wound
during the Seminole outbreak in 1913,
when he says he killed in one day eleven
white men with his own hands.
From what can be gathered, says the
Philadelphia Times, from his reminis-
cences he was at this time thirty-two
years old, He has unbounded admira-
ton for Jackson, whom he Describes as
one Great man with eagles eye" and
says the general conversed with him
frequently after the var was over. He
further declares that after Topoheka
he lever again raised his hand against Il
white man. The Indians are very def
erential to the old chief, who bears
among them a great reputation for wis
dom, and is always referred to by them
Us the "Old One"
One of them, himself n man of fifty,
when questioned in regard to Muddy
Waters age, asserted that the old chief
had been an ancient man when he was
q boy, sitting in the council, which was
privilege accorded only to those Over
sixty years of age. Muddy Water is of
rather low stature for an Indian, but
indications show that he must have
been of extraordinary strength in his
prime. He has a mortal hatred of
women, suffering none of the squaws
about to approach him, but he is said to
have been married, and the father of
seven sons all killed in wars with the
whites.

a rEN.FooT HEAD OF HAIR.

&c Belongs to q Delicate Little Texas
woman Who Is Proud OF It.
The longest suit of hair In the world
IL perhaps that which grows on the
head Of Miss Asenath Philpott, of
Gainesville, Tex, hers trailing on the
ground when she stands nearly four
feet, and measuring in all ten fee and
seven inches. Miss Philpott is a slight,
delicate woman, approaching middle
age and regards her magnificent tresses
as rather a nuisance, complaining that
their weight actually Drains her
strength.
The present growth, says tho New
York journal, is of the past seven
wears, as In 1884 her head was shaved
during a spell of brain fever. 1t Is nee
8 to her health to cut out large
quantities of hair every few months,
and this she has a regular sale for from
some large wig mandatory inthe east,
which pays her well for it, as its fine
ness and silky gloss is exceptional, be-
sides being of a much-admired red gold
tint.
Miss Phiipott says she has been sew.
eral times approached by enterprising
proprietors of dime museums, who have
made her offers to travel with them as a
freak. and has also been requested to
~ IS agent for sundry hair tonics. She
c,eims that her family have for genera
tion- been noted for the beauty and
length Of their hirsute ornaments, her
grandfather having a beard that fell to
his feet and being Obliged to cut his hair
every day or two. Her mothers hair
was such that when she lay In her coffin
st enwrapped her from head to foot and
was then obliged to be folded back sew
eral times.

Found In a Swamp.

In what was at one time a great bog
or swamp a resident of Kendallville,
Ind, some days ago while running a
ditch exhumed several perfectly pre-
served skeletons of deer found just as
the creatures mired, possibly hundreds
of years ago. One head was found with
o~utspreading antlers of great size, the
length of the horn being ~forty-eight
inches and the measurement from tip
to tip forty-one inches. Close to the
head the circumference was twelve
inches, from the head fifteen inches.
The horn is black, glistening in the sun
light like polished ivory. 1t isregarded
as an extremely valuable specimen.

STRIKE STATISTICS.
Particulars of tho Labor Troubles Occu
ring In Recent Years.

Particulars of tho Labor Trouble Occur
ring In Recent Years.
The tendency among workmen to
strike has grown to a very considerable
extent in recent years, not only in Eng
gland but on the continent and abroad.
In New Zealand the labor party seems
rather 70 have obtained the upper hand,
and 1t will be instructive to watch de-
velopments in order to see the course
that will be taken by a temporarily tri-
umphant democracy.
In Germany, says the Chicago Globe,
from January, 1889, to April, 1890, it is
reported that no fewer than 1,131
strikes took place. nearly half of which
-4S per cent.-were in connection
with mining industries. In 1877 cases
the men obtained their demands; and ii
Is not difficult to imagine that in a
proportion Of the whole the strikers
were justified In their claims. In 400
cases the men were entirely unsuccess-
full against their masters, but the fig
ures given cannot, of course, include
calculations to show what sums of
money were lost by the refusal TO work,
and how much of this came out Of the
pockets of the men-or rather was pre-
vented from going into their pockets.
There remains 4o8 cases, and In these
compromises were ~effected-a part of
the strikers demands were conceded,
the remainder withdrawn; and here
again in very many instances there can
be no doubt that the men paid dearly
for their partial success. The only rem
edy that can be suggested Is @ wider
recognition of the benefits of arbitra7
ton, but the a~rbitrators must be honest
men who really seek to settle the dis
pute with q due appreciation of what is
fair and honest to both sides.
In Germany the professional agitator
Is usually, or at least frequently, at the
bottom of the mischief. He may be
playing for q money stake obtainable
by the distribution of funds or other
wise, or he may have parliamentary
or other ambitions which he thinks will
pay better in the long run. Love of
notoriety and prominence Is another
moving factor, and If such a person is
appointed to represent the men the
chance of settlement is small, seeing
that very often discord pays SO much
better. A few, notorious agitators are
honest, but it Is to be feared that they
are black swans.

This is a complete skeleton Of Hermit,
who won the derby In 1867 and who was
one of the greatest sires of which the
modern racing world has n record. Tho

its beauty and it's strength, and on this

of great comment, for the opportunity
of seeing such an example of the frame
