WILD NEW GUINEA.

An Island Whose White People
Dwell I'm Pence with CnnnibaIs.
Arno Senfft, who for the past three
years has filled several positions under
the government Of German New GUM.
ca. in the Bismarck Archipelago, ar.
rived on the steamer China from the
Orient Thursday, and Is stopping at
the Occidental. Mr.. Senfft says that
German New Guinea Is one Of the most
interesting places on the face of the
earth. There are forty or fifty white
people on the island. including mis-
sionaries. The rest Of the inhabitants
are cannibals, though the European
residents are not disturbed by the prac-
tices Of the natives, as they have never
as yet attempted to satiate their ap-
petites by devouriHg white people.
Bitter enmity exists between the
rival tribes I'm the island, said Mr..
Snefft, land they waged war against
each other for six months last year
The revolt broke out In July, and, des-
pite the efforts Of the German authori-
ties to suppress the trouble, 1t contin-
ued until December. A German man.
of-war was there during most Of the
time, and the soldiers finally brought
the natives to terms. There was one
very peculiar thing about the uprising.
A native chief who led the revolt in
veigled many of his followers into the
belief that red paint which he sold
them for their shell money would pro-
tect their bodies from the bullets of
the Germans. Believing that In their
invulnerable armor Of red paint they
could make war with perfect IMMUNITY
they daubed themselves all over with
the mixture and revolted. The natives
are now in complete subsection, and on
their good behavior, and the traders on
the island are again plying remuner-
alive traffic. It is impossible to tell,
however, when the natives will take 1t
into their heads to resume hostilities."
Mr.. Senfft says there are two mis-
sions on the island. One is Catholic
mission with staff Of twenty-seven
missionary workers, including several
sisters Of mercy, whose efforts have
resulted In intoxicating something of a
civilized nature in number of the nat
ives. The other is a mission establish.
ed by the Australian Wesleyan Method.
list Missionary Society. 1t has a staff
Of Till officers. and Is making very
little progress in converting the people
to Christianity.
The seat of government in the island
is little settlement. known as Her
bartshoh. That has been Mr.. Senfft's
home during his three years residence
in the island, and In a little office he
has presided over several departments
Of the government, filling at the same
time the positions of Collector Of Gus
toms, Harhor Master, Police Master,
and other offices. He is now on his
way back to Berlin ON a vacation trip.

viscount was awakened by It.
The man very humbly apologized, and
the good-natured old viscount told him

ed.
What insolence!" he angrily and In
dignantly muttered. Il viii not see him,
Barker, tell him that"
| Hardly had the man quilted the room
when the yiscount rang the bell for
his return. Bring him to me-" said
the yiscount.
A moments reflection had caused the
| yiscount to change his mind with re-
| spect to this unwelcome visitor
He had said to himself: II have
not many days, perhaps not many hours,
left to me in this world, and enmity
for the past would i'll become me now .
| Norton Sowerby glided into the room,
bowling lowly at every step he took aid
so was creeping towards the viscount's
chair.
The viscount's hand waved feebly,
stayed this intruder's advance, and
| he stopped and stood still in the CEN
| ter of the apartment, striving to give
n sorrowful and contrite expression TO
| his darkly handsome, and boldly daring
features. Norton Sowerby was tall and
| well shaped, of commanding aspect,
| rnd was well and even fashionably
| dressed.
"Oh, viscouGt! how nobly genel Gus
| to permit me thus once again to APP
| preach you.''
And where have you found courage,
Norton, once again TO seek my pres
enceY" questioned the viseount; "and
what the hope has brought you TO me
now?"
Il had, indeed, very earnest hope
in seeking you,'' exclaimed Norton;
land If you will permit me
First listen to me-" interrupted the
viscount. Am I wrong in believing
| that you have sought me, now that /
| am dying, in the belief, that looking
| towards better world, you would find
me willing to pardon and to forget
| all that had troubled me here on
earth??"
Yes, yeS!' exclaimed Norton, looking
imploringly toward the yiscount You
have named Alright the anxious, the only
hope which has given me courage again
| to brave your presence"
''The only HOPPER and the viscounts
eyes We're searchingly fixed upon the
others face. Nay, Norton, had you
not second, and still more important
| hope|
Il do not understand you, sir" and
the yiscount's gaze was unflinchingly
met
The viscount smiled family and in
| credulously,
Confess, Norton, that your object
in seeking to win my pardon now, is
that you may persuade me to bequeath
| to you some portion of the wealth
which shall leave behind meY'
Norton Sowerby looked greatly hurt,
and protested energetically, and with
great apparent sincerity, and In sup
| posing thus the viscount was doing
| him n great wrong.
THAT is WELL" said the Yiscount,

and was warned, too, that no mercy
would be shown him should he dare
to repeat his crime.
Since then he had lived by means
which would not have borne scrutiny:
had been a frequenter of gambling
houses--a black-leg, In short, who had
contrived and assisted in the ruin of
more than one young man OF fortune.
In gamblers slang many pigeon
had he helped to pluck.
Having returned, as we have seen,
and made his peace with the poor,
dying viscount, Norton Sowerby, on
the following day, rode into the VII
lage OF Crawford, and proceeded to
the only inn which 1t contained.
Having dismounted, and entered the
house, he said to the landlady:
"A lady has arrived at your tavern
to-day, believer"
within the last half hour, SIR" re-
piled the woman, curtesying; Il have
shown her into my private room"
THANK you; 1t is for me she Is wait

Norton entered the room pointed out
to him, and n lady rose TO receive
him.
OF average height was she. and rath-
ei fully formed; and as she threw back
her veil, on seeing whom 1t was that
had entered the apartments very
handsome face was disclosed.
A handsome, but not a pleasing face
when examined critically.
There were perfectly regular features,
IN expansive brow-too expansive for
a lady-black and glossy hair, and eyes
large, dark and most surprisingly bril-
liant.
But, somehow, there was most un-
feminine look In those eyes, a malice
lurking in her most enchanting smile,
and nm undefinable something which
was displeasing to the tout ensemble
into which her various features re-.
solved themselves.

had closed the door upon them both.

sessed, about two miles from the vii
lage Of Crawford.
OF all the beings that had been
dear to him, there was left but an in
FAINT grandson, whose parents had been
carried of by fearful epidemic, which
had been raging, and which had almost
decimated the country for miles around.
That this little grandson might not
fall victim to the raging pestilence,

the care of faithful nurse, to a vii
lagc on the coast, many miles away
from Dareleigh Park.

chair, and now and again moaning even

Alleged Consumption Cure.

From time to time paragraphs ap-
pear In the daily papers informing the
public that cure for consumption has
been discovered The last Of these So
called discoveries has been heralded in
the Times" September 14,l where it
is stated on authority @ of the "Havas
Agency" that Genoese physician has
been able to cure twenty-five out of
twenty-seven hopeless cases of con-
sumption by the subcntaneous injection
OF asses blood. Strangely enough the
medical papers have remained silent,
and we can not help thinking that 1t
would have been we'll had the Times"
not been so eager to advance this mode
of treatment before it had gone through
the ordeal OF medical criticism. The
simultaneous injection of serum of AMI
mails into phthisical patients has been
extensively tried already. and has fail
ed, and It Is not likely that asses Sc
rum would have more therapeutic prop
critics than that of dogs, or goats, which
has proved a failure. 1t Is likely more
over; that such premature announce
ment will do great deal Of harm by
raising the hopes Of patients and their
friends--hopes which are almost sure
to be disappointed.

Thorough Milking.

great care is taken to milk out every

There are comparatively few mixers

Of the dairy does not keep sharp eye
on them. The manager, If a good

Glover Seed I'm the Soil.

Land that has long grown clover
where it has been allowed to
seed will often seed itself when
pfowed and sowed to grain
without clover. 1t shows the great
vitality of clover seed, enabling it to
live In the soil Tor years until favor
able opportunity comes for it to grow.
We have seen clover growing ON n
field where no clover had been sown
for six years. The only explanation
was that 1t came from the scattered
seed of aclover seed crop cut nearly
ten years before. 1t is probable that
clover seed in the soil, too deep to
terminate, is IN better position to pre-
serve it's vitality than 1t is In dry
close and warm barn or storehouse.
Glover seed after the first year, loses
color or fades when exposed TO light.
1t will grow, however, when two and
even three years old.

The following from an exchange IL,
Illustrates a pigs intelligence.
We call pigs stupid creatures. This
is not fair. They are really as intelll.
gent as the majority Of domestic ami.
mails, but the lives we allow them
are too short and their opportunities
too few for them to show their abili-
ties to advantage. The pig of which !

no means handsome specimen, but
what she wanted In beauty she made
up in intelligence.
AS a baby pig she belonged to per.
son named Toomer. and she was raised
with family of young pointer puppies.
She took kindly to her playfellows, and
when they became old enough to follow
the keeper In his walks. she, too, would
come trotting and grunting after. When
Mr.. Toomer began to train his young
charges for their work of finding and
pointing out game there was danger
that piggy might make mischief. But
the keeper would not leave her shut up
at home. He had, he said, brokQZ
many dogs as obstinate as pigs and
could surely break a pig that was sc
much more tractable than the rest OF
her kind.
So he taught her to ''back"-that Is.
TO stand perfectly still whenever dog
had found game and was pointing al
1t. To teach her this he used both re
wards and puniShments; when she did
wrong he pelted her with tiny stones
for he could not catch her and chastiss
her as he did naughty puppies. and
when she behaved herself well he had
always barley meal pudding in his
pocket for her. But this was not all
