 Nile Region.
 If any one who has a recent map of Central Africa will look at the coun. try bordering the upper Nile on the east, he will notice that the name of nearly every district and town begins with F. As for instance: Paddock, Fo- da, Fowera, Fatiko, Faloro, Fabo, Fa- dulli, Farabogo, Fenanga, Faradjok, Farschila, Fanagura, etc. This pecu- iiarity has not come by chance, nor is 1t characteristic of the native Ian guage, but the people themselves tell the following story of its origin:
 In former times an Arab sheikh, a | holy man, with single faithful com pantou and having no other weapon Ehan green bough which he used as a staff, came to their country. They had never seen a white man before, and his appearance filled the simple people with wonder; at the same time ais manner of life quickly won for him their veneration.
 As soon as he was able to make him. self understood, he began to settle their quarrels with each other and to give them advice. His wisdom was so prized that his fame spread through out the whole land, and his words were regarded as oracles. The Sheikh Farag, as the man was called, told the people that one day white men like himself would come into their land.
 He besought them to receive them as brothers, and not as enemies and in order that his entreaty should not be forgotten, he added to the names of the ninety-nine places through which he passed the initial letter oi his own naIle, saying to the people; "The names of your towns will remind you continually of the Sheikh Farag, and of his entreaty that you do nc harm to your white brothers when they come"
 Who the man was, whence he came and whither he went, no one in the country has ever learned; only the old est people among them have preserved an indistinct memory of the holy man who, like a good angel has gone through their land An indirect con firmation of the truth of this interest ing African folklore tale was the cor dial reception and kind treatment of Dr. Junker the well known traveller, Pasha, by the principal negro chief tain of this country few years ago. | Youths Companion.
