SLAMS WATER FESTIVAL.

A Great Time with the Grandoes and Peas
ants Alike.
At full moon in October, and again at
full moon in November, the three days
show is held, and for some time pre-
ants, the markets and bazars, show
signs of preparation for the coming
event. The humblest style in which
the ceremony can be performed is yet
pretty enough. The broad, strong leaf
of plantain is bent or folded into the
shape of boat or raft. In the middle
of this simple structure tiny taper is
is fixed upright. The "katoug," or
raft, of which this is the simplest form,
is then kept ready in the house until
the suspicious moment-predicted by
the family priest-has arrived, says the
Saturday Review.
Then at this moment, when the water
is silSred over by the beams of the
broad, rising moon, the taper is lighted
and the tiny raft is launched upon the
waves. Very slowly at first it makes
its way along the edge of the cbbing
tide; then, waited gently by the still
evening air into the swifter current it
drifts further and further away, until
only bright spccl of light distin-
cuisines it from the ripping surface all
around. When the night is fine, thou
sands Of these little stars of light may
be seen twin!;ling on the bosom of the
Mcnam, all winding their silent way
toward the boundlcss sea, all h'ar'ng
silent messages to departed friends who
have already gone to the great I'M
known land.

STOCKAOES OF TUSKS.
CeEtury's Supply OF Ivory Heapcd Up
In the Interior OF Africa.

A Century's supply OF Ivory Heaped Up
In the Interior OF Africa.
'The ivory trade shows a most re-
marRable increase" Commercial Agent
Mohun writes from the Congo TO the
state department. Ivory Is the most
valuable article exported. 1t all comes
from the high Congo, both north and
south of the river. Steamers bring it
as far as Stanley pool, and from there to
Matadi two hundred and fifty niles
native carriers bring it on their backs.
! have seen in ono day five hundred car
ricrs come TO MataGi, each man carry
ing tusli averaging siyty-nve pounds
in weight. When tuslss weigh two hun
drcd pounds which not ilfrequently
happens, four men carry them.
Most Of the ivory now coming down
is known as dead ivory Some of the
elephants from which these tusl,s came
were killed one hundred years ago and
the kings Of VILLAGES have been storing
it, placing the last tusSs brought in
on top of the pile, and when they
required some goods from the coast
traders the tuslls from the bottom
layers were taken. This system has
prevailed for years, and it is estimated
that there is enough ivory stored in the
interior TO supply the world for the
next century. 1t is estimated, but
upon whose authority | cannot discover,
that there are still at least two hundred
thousand elephant in central Africa.
The only live or new ivory which
now comes down is that procured by
hunters attached TO the different trad
ing houses. may add that live ivory
commands q higher price than the dead
A state expedition visited native king
some months ago in the interior. Upon
leaving the commanding officer pre-
scntcd the king with n uniform coat,
cooked hat and sword. The king, in
return, presented the officer with one
hundred and fifty tusis Of ivory, aver
aging two hundred and twenty pounds
each, and provided carriers to take
them TO the river. These people do not
recognize the value, and laugh at the
trader for buying. Some of these kings
have stdcllades Of ivory built around
their dwellings,"

Not Have TO 10 Rau sacked.
Some $4,000, 900 tons of coal are burned
IN London yearly. About 1900, 900 are
utilized by the gas manufacturing COM
NAMES; 100000 are burned in house
hold and industrial fire CRATES, says the
National Review. Each ton contains
sufficient ammonia TO produce, if treated
with sulphuric acid, twenty two to
twcnty-cight pounds of sulphate of am
monia. The total loss of this fert;liz-
ing agent is, therefore, say 1900 tons.
As the price of sulphate of ammonia is
9pounds and 10 shillings per ton, the
monetary loss is 04,005 pounds every
year. If we were less wasteful we
should not be so much obliged TO ran
sack Chilli and Peru for artificial ma
nures. 1t is agreeable 10 learn that the
heterogeneous matter in the 1000, 900 tons
Of coal which are used every year by
the gas manufacturing companies is now
being made n considerable source of
revenue. The value of sulphate of
ammonia as fertilizer is now beyond
dispute. Where nitrogen has been de-
fcient in the soil the application of
$50 pounds of sulphate of ammonia to
each acre gave an increase of nearly
four tons of potatoes. Sulphate of am
monia, although not quite SO active a
fertilizer as nitrate, is held in the soil
with greater tenacity. 1t contains "a
per cent. of ammonia, which is equal to
20 per cent. of nitrogen. Then there
are the tarry hydrocarbon compounds,
from which thanks to the discov-
cry of Kirliham and Perkins, beau
tiful aniline dyes can be eX-
tracted The tar has been q source
Of such revenue to the gas companies
that it may be seriously stated that
every year there is more coloriug mat
ter sent into the atmosphere of London
than would dye all the fabrics woven
by English looms within the same time.
five take the waste of the hydrocarbons
to equal 90 per cent. of the fuel burned,
we shall find that in the 5000, 600 tons
of coal burned in the metropolis 1,S0O,-
600 tons of Hydrocarbons are lost. In
other words, some 1G,O00,00O cubic feet
Of rich hydrocarbons are every year

It is wise law they have in Michi-
gan, allowing 80 days grace for banks to
pay savings depositors. The banks of
Lansing have just been subjected to a
panic, when they took advantage of this
provision of law and thereby saved them
selves from bankruptcy and their patrons
from loss. A solvent bank is often short
of ready money and in case of sudden
and unusual draught upon its resources
could not meet the demands. This has
caused the collapse of hundreds of good
banks in the past, but the Michigan law
will decrease the per cent. amazingly.

The Brilliant Students Dilemma.

A Harvard student told me an ANUS
ing story about himself the other day.
It seems that recently his mother had q
young lady guest at their home on the
Back Bay, and when he came from col
lege in the afternoon he was introduced
to her. At dinner. also she sat opposite
him at the table. He paid little atten-
ton to the fair visitor, as his mind was
engrossed with problem in his lessons.
However, his brothers were as assiduous
as possible in entert, lining her. As it
happened, the latter had engagements
out that evening, and, as Mrs. A. had
promised Miss B. to have one of her sons
take her to the theater, it fell to the lot
of my friend George, the Harvard man.
He accepted the situation gracefully,
and in due time the young couple set off
for the theatre. Arriving, George left
his companion at one side of the lobby
while he stepped up to the box Office and
purchased the tickets; then, turning
about, he looked toward the place where
he had parted from the young lady, and
was surprised to see half dozen there,
and-ye gods! is it possib1e?-he could
not tell which was his precious charged
Here was dilemma.
George said he Immediately decided
THAI rather than risk speaking to the
wrong person, he would stand still till
the young Lady spoke to him. So he
gazed at his tickets for what seemed to
him an age, but was probably only a
minute, when Miss B. came up and said,
81 fear you did not recognize me-" "Oh,
yes-yes-" stammered George, equivo-
cating-''yes, did; thought they had
not given me the seats asked for, and
was considering what was best to do in
the matter. Boston Herald.
