Football I'm Africa

Englishmen are proverbial for taking
their games with them into whatever
part Of the world they 60. Golf, as we
know, is played in the shadow Of the
pyramids and in the very heart Of the
Himalayas, but football in the middle
of darkest Africa is something of an in
noyation. Yet football is rapidly be-
coming popular ON the shores Of Lake
Nyassa, and at Kotakota, which few
years ago was notorious as the greatest
depot for slaves ON the western shore Of
the lake, mixed teams of black and
white meet every Saturday with as
much regularity as do our home teams.
though the local chronicler omits to say
whether Rugby or Association has won
the suffrages Of the Nyassa teams One
startling feature of the game is that the
black players decline 20 hamper them

HOLES IN THE CANVAS.
An Important Discovery Increasing the
Fmcacy of Sails.


Emeacy of Sails
An Italian sea captain, Clio Batta
Vasallo of Genoa, has made very inter
esting innovation in the use of sails Of
ordinary sailing vessels. He claims that
the force of wind cannot fully take eff
feet In sail, since the air in front of it
cannot properly circulate in the inflated
part and remains stationary immediate
ly in front of part of the sail proper He
avoids this stagnation of air, as he calls
it, by the application of a number Of
small holes in that part of the sail where
the depression is deepest when it is fill
ed. These holes are re-enforced like q
buttonhole, so that they Will not tear ont.
Trials made in various weather have
resulted as follows: With light wind
a boat with ordinary sails made
knots, while the new sail increased the
speed to "a knots. In fresh breeze the
respective speeds were Z and So knots,
and in strong wind they were and 10
knots an hour. 1t stands to reason that
the doing away with a layer of air
which cannot escape past the sides of a
sail must increase the efficiency Of the
sailboat. Where the wind formerly
struck cushion of air which acted like
a spring mattress, decreasing the actual
pressure of the wind against the canvas,
this current of air now strikes the sail
direct and of course has a greater eff
cheney. Vasallo has received much en-
couragement from practical sailors as
we'll as theoretical scientists. -Phila-

The story is told of a soldier Of the
Army of the Potomac who had his own
ideas as to his financial value, as we'll
as the method by which that value could
be realized.
He was white man and was detailed
for service as a teamster in a train
which was driven for the most part by
negroes. The negroes were hired nc the
rate of $25 per month, but the white
soldier received no more than his regu-
lar pay of SIC.
He appeared somewhat dissatisfied
with this arrangement and made an ap-
plication to his captain.
Il should like" he said gravely, Ito
be appointed a negro by brevet. and be
assigned to duty in accordance with my
brevet rank kW-Youth's Companion.

HOME MISSION WORK.

President Cleveland in his talk
on home missions did not over
estimate the good which christian
men and women could do on the
frontier. Religious influence is in
deed needed in a region where new
states are forming.
In the Indian Territory, for in
stance, there is much missionary
work to be done. But the kind
which would be most effective the
president could do better than any
church or religious society.
Let the president act on the
advice of the men who ask prOtec
ton from the cutthroats and mur
derers fostered by the government
A message to congress urging the
necessity of dissolving tribal rela
tions would do more for christian
ity in a month than all the home
mission societies of all the churches
would be able to do on the frontier
in the next decade. Home missions
are worthy of all the support the!
receive, but they have an uneven

The Swell Head Taken Down.

The Nation this week contained an
article relative to the S. of V. band in
which it claims that the republican
element of the band refused to play for
Gov. Holcomb because he was q pop.
The facts of the case are simply as fol.

populists at their county convention,
some time ago, and was to receive S5
for their services. The money was in
Mr.. Walsh's hands and he pocketed the

amount for services during the band
fair last January. Mr.. Walsh knew at
the time he performed these services
that he was not to receive any com.
p~ensation for them. He never pre-.
sented IA bill to the band for the amount
claimed, but simply laid in wait, and
took advantage Of circumstances tn

right to. The band refused to play be.

Whatever. We want the populists To
understand that their money is as good
as anybody's, and we want them to un-
derstand, also, the reason we refused
to play, for Mr.. Walsh. We think
enough of Gov. Holcomb to help give
him a royal reception, but wish to say
that the populist county central com,
mittceman named above cannot run
his bluff on the band any more.

Washington. May 5.-Thc outlined pro-
gram for the senate procedure this week
was shattered early in yesterdays ses-
sion by two unexpected motions.
When the intended action TO consider
the river ana harbor bill was attempted
II was antagonized by motion to con-
sider the Dupont election case. Mr..
Mitchell sought TO prevent this course,
but by aye and nay vote, 32 to 81, the sem
ate decided to take up the Dupont case
Later an agreement was effected TO post
pone the matter until the river and har-
Dor bill was passed, the final vote In the
election case TO be taken two days after
considerationwas begur, AT 2 o'clock the
unfinished business came up In the form
of the bond investigation resolution.
Mr.. PETER refused TO further delay the
matter, and his motion to proceed with
the resolution was upheld-39 H. 2S-thus
displacing the river and harbor bill. Mr..
Hill thereupon took The floor and spoke
until adjournment
The first skirmish over the senate
amendment to the naval appropriation
bill, reducing the number OF battleships
provided for in that bill from four To
two, occurred In the house when Mr..
Boutelle, chairman OF the naval commit
tee. moved TO non-concur In all the sen
ate amendments, and requested a con-
ference Of the senate.
Mr.. Boutelle undertook TO chastise
some OF the senator's for their incon-
sistency. He referred TO the war scares
of the past winter and the bellicose reso-
lutions introduced in the senate. and
sarcastically contrasted the war talk
of the senators with their vote TO re-
duce the number OF battieships appro-
priated for in the bill Mr.. Quigg IN
Y) called Mr.. souteile TO order for criti-
cising members OF the upper house. and
was sustained by the chair, after some
very lively sparring, Mr.. Boutelle. how
ever accomplished all he had intended
despite the CHAIRS ruling Subsequently,
Mr.. Sayres tTex.) moved to concur Ia
the senate amendment reducing the
number of battleships. but. by consent
the motion went over for action until
today. when II Is likely that the whole
question OF large appropriations at this
time for strengthening the navy will be

How the Valiant Home

which goes 10 show that during the war

Home Guard had some trying expert

VINO went to the front and did the actual
fighting and by their relatives and friends
with good deal of contempt. In those
days the Fall River Iron Works building
on South Main street, now occupied by
the Rumfcrd Chemical works was the
rendezvous for the Home Guard and from
II were sent out tho sentinefs who
patrolled and guarded the streets in the
soui herly part of the city. 1t seems that
nuring the draft riot excitement In New
York extraordinary precautions were
taken here aud the work OF the Home
Guard was unusually heavy, especially
for those VINO had TO attend 10 business
during the day and play at soldiers dur
ing the night. During this excitement
there arrived in the lower harbor small
schooner, loaded with gun powder, and
IL was deemed advisable To place a guard
upon the vessel to prevent the seizure OF
the cargo'by any designing persons who
might be disposed TO help along the cause
of the Secessionists On the night of her
arrival a detail was sent on board and
strict orders were given that no fire
should be lighted and no pipes or cigars
smoked. This precaution was taken to
prevent any explosion which would have
sent the detail, schooner and cargo sky
ward without warning.

That was curious explanation or rather
illustration of the homeopathic theory OF
medicine which the Gossiper heard one
young man give another on Governor
street car last night. A friend II seems,
has ecently been treated at the Homeo-
pathic hospital in this city and they were
discussing his case when one remarked,
~ wonder why he went TO that hopsital.
BY the way what Is homeopathy any
way?" "Nell," answered the other some
what tentatively, ~ can't say that /
know / have a sort of vague notion that
it's something like his: II hit YOU and
blackcn your eye the homeopathy men
say that by hitting you again on the same
eye it will ure 1t. l don't say that's II
exactly, bat it's something OF that kind" !"
That IL, of course, one way of illnstrat-
ing he fundamental principle OF homeo-
pathy, "similia similibus curanter" but
II is TO be doubted whether the friends of
that school of medicine would accept ii
with any degree OF grace or even complies
epce. 1t is, however, somewhat re-
markable fact that the average individual
knows even less about what homeopathy
means than the young man who used the
pugilistic illustration TO explain his con-
ception of il, when the principle upon
which IL was founded dates back CEN
turies before the Christian era.

Well, they finally got ashore, where their
disarray, begrimed and hopeless condi-
iton excited the greatest merriment. But
with them Il was no laughing matter.
Those valiant defenders OF the nag had
life time. and II is recorded that with
very few exceptions the men who COM
posed the guard on that schooner never
afterward did duty. When 1t came their
turn to serve again they almost to man
found the wherewithal 10 furnish a sub
stitute and the hangers on about the
iron works building gathered quite a
harvest OF dollars IN taking the places of
those who had nearly met an untimely
end in the raging seas of the coast OF
Fields Point.
