A Lucky Accident.

One of the greatest discoveries eve,
made was the result of the purest acci-
lent. 1t was the year of 1876. The
citizens of Munich had just witnessed
the first triumphant performance of
Mozart's opera, Don Juan," and the
theatre was deserted by all save one
man, Alois Sennefelder, who, after
making round of inspection in the
building to see that no sparks had ig.
nited anything combustible, retired to
his room to stamp the tickets of admis-
sion for the day following. When he
entered his apartments he had three
things in his hand-a polished whet-
stone which he had purchased for the
purpose of sharpening razors, a ticket
stamp still moistened with printing ink
and check on the treasurer of the
theatre for his weekly salary. AS he
placed the latter on the table gust of
wind swept it high up in his room and
then deposited it in basin filed with
water. Sennefelder dried the wet paper
as we'll as he could and then weighed
it down with the milestone upon which
ne had before carelessly placed the
printing stamp. When he returned to
his room the following morning he was
astonished at seeing the letters printed
with remarkable accuracy upon the
dampened paper. A thought came to
him. He wondered whether by some
such means he could not simplify bis
work of continually copying the songs
Df the chorna He went ont and mr.

The Caribs of British Hunduras.

1.-THE Caribs OF British Honduras"
said Frank Fisher, manager of the
British Honduras syndicate. ''are
peculiar people, and, unlike other ma
tives of the tropics, do not mingle with
the whites, holding aloof, for that mat
ter, from the other natives.
'Originally from Africa, they stin
maintain their tribal relations and sim
gular customs. Physically they are a
fine race, being coal black and very
muscular. Their language is harsh and
cultural, its vocabulary consisting OF
only about 700 words. They can count
up to three in their own tongue and
above that number count in French.
It is almost impossible to learn their
language. They are nomadic and go
from place to place along the coast.
Some families have half a dozen homes
in as many villages. Some of the young
women are comparatively good looking
and all have most graceful and erect
carriage. They carry water pitchers
on their heads very skillfully.
'The women do all the work and
carry burdens on their backs that would

man. The men are idlers. The women
have no standing in the family rela-
tions and the wife does not eat with
her husband nor do any of the females
with the men. They are as much at
home in the water as on land, and the
women paddle the dugout canoes The
babies learn to swim almost before they
can walk. As race they are wonder
fully cleanly, bathing several times a
day, and when the mornings work is
over they are very neat in their scant
attire.
'They are very filial, however, and
when one goes fishing the first fish
caught is for the grandfather, the next
for the father, and SO on down the list
until the fisherman comes to himself.
They will not sell their fish to the whites
or other natives until their own fami-
lies are supplied. In brief, they are
one of the few races in the world who
have refused to intermingle with other
people. Washington Star.

JOHN BULL IN AFRICA,
The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns
About 100000 square Mics

About 100000 Square Mics.
The latest acquisition OF African
territory gives Great Britain an un-
broken line across the length OF
Africa from the Mediterranean and
the Nile t. the extreme point OF the
continent, says the Omaha Bee. In
all, this territory, held in various
ways, from Cape Colony up to the
''occupation" OF Egypt, is in extent
about 400. 600 square miles, and has
a population of $50, 900, 900. In the
Nile alley it includes incomparably
the best OF North Africa. In Upanda
1t holds the key to the lakes Of Gen.
tral Africa. nearly as large as our
own lake system. The new treaty
gives it the high land west of Lake
Tanganylka, considerably higher and
healthier than the Eastern, in Ger
man hands The new conQuests Of
the British South Africa Company,
add the great table lands Of the in
terror Of subtropical Africa. in much
OF which white men live. Lastly,
there is Cape Colony the only vital
European settlement in all Africa
As it stands this great highway
holds two-thirds of all Africa in
which Europeans can live and carry
on efficient administration. 1t has
the most fertile tract in the conti-
nent in Egypt, its healthiest in Cape
Town, its greatest gold mines and
the only region from which tropical
Africa can be controlled. Still more
important is its relation to African
water courses. A steamer can start
at Alexandria and Iun, when the

a point on Albert Edward Nyanza,
I25 miles from Lake Tanganyika.
This runs to within seventy
miles of Lake Nyassa. From
this lake the Shire River,
broken at Murchison Falls. descends
to the Zambesi and the Indian
Ocean. From a navigable point ON
the Congo it is less than 100
miles to Lake Tanganyika The

OF tons are thus shipped to New York.
There are many boats which are de-
voted entirely to way traffic of this
kind, while others are used entirely
for through shipments. Between
5000. 900 and 5000. 600 tons of freight
arc transported over the Erie Canal
every year, and the saving to shippers
and consumers is something enormous.
The benefit of the canal system is
shown from the fact that while it is
open to use the railroad rates on all
classes of freight handled by the boats
are materially reduced, but as soon as
tho canals freeze over the rates are put
up again.-New York Advertiser.

WISE WORDS.

Superstition renders q man a fool
and skepticism makes him mad.
There is no substitute for thorough.
going, ardent and sincere earnestness,
The less man thinks CT know
sbout his virtues the better We lik'
him.
Honorable industry always travels
the same road with enjoyment and
duty.
To love to preach is one thing; to
love those to whom We preach, quite
another.
Poets are the mirrors of the gigantic
shadows which futurity casts upon the
present.
The strokes of the pen need delibera.
ton as much as those of the sword
need swiftness.
From the body of one guilty deed a
thousand ghostly fears and haunting
thoughts proceed.
Every burden has two handles-one
smooth and easy to grasp. one rough
and hard to hold.
The wealth of q man is the number
of things he loves and blesses and b.,
which he is loved and blessed.
He that honors his neighbor on &C.
count Of his money will in the end par
company with him in disgrace.
Long customs are not easily broken
he-that attempts to change the course
of his life very often labors in vain.
The world is seldom what it seems.
To man, who dimly sees, realities sp-
pear as dreams, and dreams realities.
The martyrs to vice far exceed the
martyrs to virtue, both in endurance
and in number. So blinded are We by
our passions that We suffer more to bs
lost than to be saved.
Offer to the world q large, generous.
true, sympathetic nature and, rich OF
poor, you will have friends, and will
never be friendless, no matter WhS
catastrophes may befau you.
