LlvINasT ONE AND THE BoERs.
They Burned His Home and Drove Him
Into the wilderness.

Henry NJ. Stanley in the Century,
Between Livingstone and his Boer
neighbors, however, tnere was little love.
He accused the Boer farmers of cruelty
to the natives, ami they resented his in
reference, and threatened to drive him
ut of the country. He published their
misdeeds in the Cape newspapers, and
in revenge for his structures they finally
set fire TO his house and burned him out
This it was which first induced Living
stone to travel to the north, in hopes of
finding land where he could follow in
peace his vocation as missionary, and
where the Boer farmers could no longer
modest him. In his search for The ideal
territory he had in view he entered re-
gions utterly unknown to the best in
formed geographer, and made many dis
coveries of importance. It was then
that he discovered Lake Ngami and the
southern feeders of the Fam best. It was
tinne his journey across the Zambesi, to
follow it's course TO it's head waters, and
to make his way to San Paul de Loanda
in Angola; and this was why he retraced
his steps and followed the Zambesi to the
eastern ocean, where his first series OF
remarkable adventures terminate after
Is years of travel.
just as the Boer persecution had started
him on his explorations ard diverted him
from his cherished missionary work, so
the great reputation he obtained by these
brilliant fears of travel and valuable dis
coveries of great lake and river tended to
separate him still further from his true
role. He had revealed the existence of a
tropical world, of luxuriant savannas
ana extensive forests, where animal life
was prolific and the vegetation was of
marvellous variety and growth. The
Zambesi river was 1000 miles long, the
lakes were full of sweet water, the soil was
fertile and we'll repaid cultivation, the
native products were varied and useful.
and as for the natives, when let alone by
the rowing Arab and unmolested by the
Portuguese half-caste, the account of his
long residence among them and his many
adventures with them proved that they
were good deal better than English
people had any notion Of However, the
slave trade was rampant in the interior,
whole districts were being devastated,
and thousands of human beings were an
nually perishing through the bloody VIC
lence adopted by the Arabs The sights
in the slave ships hold were not to be
compared in horror to what he had seen
in African kraBl and camp.
Livingstone was much occupied with
delivering addresses in the principal
British cities, aud after warming his au-
diences with his glowing pictures of
African lands, he would make their flesh
creep by telling them of the wholesale
murders perpetrated by the Arab and
Portuguese marauders, and then close
with an appeal for the help of Christian
England to stop those horrid inhum ami
ties

merry, in the midst of which a woman
came forward and struck the ground in
the middle OF the lodge. Then a mys-
terry man took his turn and began
scratching With stick on the spot which
the woman had struck. In minute or
two were exposed to view the leaves OF
full-grown wild turnip. The vegetable
was aug up and thrown among the spec

Juggler OF great reputation. One Of
his best tricks is done with bears
claw and small disk-shaped pocket
mirror he takes the mirror in one hand
and the bears claw in the other. Then,
sway1ng his body from side to side and
Keeping up monotOnous chanting, he
brings the claw nearer to the mirror,
until nnally there is a contact between
the two and the claw stands upon its
point upright on the mirror. Presently,
by sudden movement, the glass is
turned upside down, and the claw still
remains attached to it by the point 1t

The late Garriok Mallery of the bureau
OF ethnology once told me of something
quite unaocountable which he witnessed
at White Earth in 1860 There was pres
ent famous mystery man who made
bet with local government agent that
the latter could not tie him with ropes
IN sucn a manner that he would not be
able to d1sengage himself off-hand. The
agent, assisted by Mallery and other
white men, tied the Indian up in the
most elaborate fashion and put him in
side OF a conical wigwam in the middle
OF an open space. Nobody else was per-
mItted to come near him. AS quickly rs
they had withdrawn, tremendous thumps.
ing sounds were heard from the hut,
which swayed from side to side as if it
would be torn to pieces. Two or three
minutes later the Indian called out, tell
ing them to 20 to a certain house several
hundred yards away, where they would
ind the ropes. One of the white men
was sent to the house and he found the
ropes with all the complicated knots I'm
tied The tieing committee opened the
wlgwam then, but found the wizard
smoking pipe, with his black magic
stone on his lap. Neither pipe nor stone
had been there previously. The head
priest of the wizards society, having
heard of this exhibition, sent word that
he would be killed if he repeated such
performance for gain. Evidently it was
deemed improper that religious business
OF that sort should be thus prostituted.

a
b. s2-demon of sickness-constipa-
ton, is an easy enough thing to cure if
you take the right medicine. Constipa-
ton IS one of the commonest things in the
world. 1t is really one of the most seri-
Gus things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due tc
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
ton in the gutter, it will stop the flow Of
water, and gradually mass of poison
GUS, putrefying matter will accumulate.
That IS exactly what happens in the
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and
is forced into the blood. 1t goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp-
toms A few of these are dizziness, hatu-
lence,.. heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss OF appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and erup-
tons OF the skin These things are I'M
pleasant, but they are not serious. The
serious things come afterward. Doctor
Plerce's Pleasant Pellets are for the cure
OF constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efhc1ent IN their action. One is gentle
laxative, two mild cathartic. There is
nothing else in the world like them.
There is nothing that takes their place.
There Is nothing just as good, f" although

sometimes telliyou so for their own profit.
