STANLEY AND THE CONGO.


journey DO"H TIC
The geographical world was anxious
to know what was this mysterious river
the quest of which had occupied Liv-
ingstone's declining years. The Lon
don Daily Telegraph joined with the
New York Herald in defraying the
cost of this second expedition. The
story of how | set out a second time
from Zanzibar, circumnavigated the
Victoria Nyanza, discovered Lake AL
bert Edward, voyaged around Lake
Tanganyika, and reached Livingstone's
farthest point - Nyangwe - OF the
banks of the Lualaba, has been told in
detail in my book Through the Dark
Continent" 1t also relates how, after
a tedious land journey parallel with the
river, | made ready my English boat
collected about score of native canoes
embarked my followers, and how, after
course of nearly 1900 miles, we
reached the Atlantic ocean at the
mouth of the Congo. By this river voy-
age the question which had puzzled
Livingstone for II years was solved.
1t is a noticeable fact that when | began
my descent of the Congo | was the only
white man-eXcepting my companion,
Frank Pocock-to be found between
the Zambesi and the Bahr-el-Ghazal,
and between Zanzibar and the Lower
Congo.
1t may easily be understood why, on
returning from the discovery of the
great African waterway, | should be
anxious that England should avail her
self of it. In 1916 England had dis
patched a naval expedition under Capt.
Tuckey to ascend the Congo. but ii ter
minated disastrously 200 miles inland.
In 1873 Capt. Grandy, another English
officer, had attempted the task. In
1876 Admiral Hewitt's expedition had
suppressed the pirates of the Lower
Congo. For over GO years England had
kept watch over the Congo slavers.
| Half of the expenses of my expedition
had been contributed in England. She
was also rich, tender and just toward
the natives, and her people were the
best colonizers in the world. All these
facts wese, in my opinion, claims that
might justify England in stepping for
ward and taking possession.-HenryM NJ.

A MlSER'S TREASURE.

The miser lay on his dying bed,
And no voice by him made moan;
No prayer was said, and no tears were
shed
He died as he lived, alone;
And his trembling fingers damp and cold,
Drew the iron band away
From the guarded casket, stained and old,
Where his boarded treasures lay.
But his death-dimmed eyes in the fading
light
Looked not on the rubies rare,
Nor the deep-sea pearls, nor the diamonds
bright
That an empress well might wear;
And the gold that he erstwhile loved 30
much,
That he periled his soul to gain,
Was brushed aside with a careless touch,
And a glance Of cold disdain.
And when strangers looked on the dead In
awe,
In his close-clasped icy hands
Not Golconda's flashing gems they saw,
Nor the gold of Afric's sands;
And no Jewels fair beyond compare
Tween the fingers stiff shone through,
But a golden tress of a woman's hair
In a ribbon of faded blue.

FATTENING HOGS COSTS ONE CENT

FATTENING HOGS COSTS ONE CENT.
The editor recently heard of farmer
fattening hogs at less than one cent a
pound. This was made possible through
the sowing of Salzer's King Barley,
yielding over 100 blu. per acre, Golden
Triumph Corn, yielding 200 bu. per
acre, and the feeding on Sand Vetch,
Teosinte, Hundredfold Peas, etc. Now,
with such yields, the growing of hogs is
more profitable than silver mine.
Salzer's catalogue is full of rare
things for the farmer, gardener and cit
izen, and the editor believes that it
would pay everybody hundredfold to
get Salzer's catalogue before purchas.
