They Have Done Nothing to Explore OF
Develop tho Country.
In the early years OF the sixteenth cen.
tury, long before the first Dutch fort
was erected at Cape Town, Portugal had
planted her settlers at various points
along the east coast, from Delagoa bay
to the Zambezi and Mozambique. They
did some trading in gold and ivory with
the interior, and they assembled the
Iambezi for several hundred miles. But
the pestilential strip of fiat ground which
lay between the coast and the plateau
dampened their desires and threw OBJ
stacles i'll the way of their advance
They did little to explore and nothing to
civilize the interior.
Three centuries passed, during which
our knowledge Of south central Africa
was scarcely extended, and it was not
till some go years ago that the Dutch
Beers III their slow wagons passed
northeastward from Cape Colony to the
spots where BlOemfontein and Pretoria
now stand; not till 1886 that David
Livingstone made his way through Bech-
uanaland to the Victoria falls of tho
ZambeZi and to the Atlantic coast ut
Loanda; not till 1889 that the vast ter
ritories which lie between the Trans.
vaal republic and Lake Tanganyika be-
gan to be occupied by the Mashonaland
pioneers All these farmers, explorers
and mining prospectors came up over
the high plateau from the extreme south
ernmost end Of Africa, checked from
time to time by the warlike native
tribes, but drawn on by finding every
where country in which Europeans
could live and thrive, while the Portu-
guese, having long since lost the i'm
pulse Of discovery and conquest, did no
more than maintain their hold upon the
coast, and allowed even the few forts
they had established along the course Of
the Iambezi to crumble away.-Pro-

EFFECT OF TEA CIGARETTES.
They Give Ono n Sensation OF Thickcnins
In tho Head.

Ihey Give Ono Sensation OF Thickenincr
In tho Head.
One of the most injurious and danger
Gus OF new fashions is tho tea cigarette.
That this is 10 empty, baseless story OF
new craze Is shown by the application
made last week to the commissioner of
internal revenue ut Washington for per-
MISSION to manufature tea cigarettes in
michigan The applicant was told that
70 engage i'll such manufacture he must
comply with the law governing the
manufacturing of tobacco cigarettes, tea
being substitute for tobacco; that he
must register, give bond and so on, aud
that tho cigarettes, when made, must be
packed, stamped, branded and labeled,
exactly as the tobacco cigarettes, before
the government would sanction their re-
moval from the factory for sale.
several descriptions of the tea ciga-
rette have been printed, but these have
erred III the presumption that the tea
was taken rs sold, rolled up in q paper
and smoked This would be practically
impossible, as the sharp edges of the tea
would cut the paper i'll all directions,
spoil the draft and render the cigarettes
10 make tho tea cigarette one takes a
grade OF green tea which has but little
dust, being composed of unbroken leaf,
and dampens it carefully, just enough to
permit the leaves to be unrolled with
out being broken, and so as to'be left
pilable and capable of being stuffed in
the paper cylinder, while the dampness
IS not sufficient to stain the paper. The
cigarettes are laid aside for few DAYS
and are then ready to bo smoked.
The feeling of tea cigarette in the
mouth is peculiar. The taste is not so
dlsagreable as might be supposed, but
the effect on the tyro is sense of thick
ening IN the head and disposition to
take hold Of something or sit down. If
the beginner quits them. that settles it,
ne VIII not try tea cigarettes again If,
however, the smoker sits down and tries
q second cigarette, inhaling it deeply,
then the thickening feeling passes and
Is succeeded by one of intense exhilara-
ton The nerves are stimulated until
the smoker feels like flying, skirt dane
ing or doing something else entirely out
or the common way. This stage lasts us
long as the smoke continues, which is
until the reaction Of the stomach sets in.
Words cannot describe tho final effects
or the tea Cigarette. The agony Of the
opium fiend is shadow to that Of the
nauseated victim of tho tea cigarette. 1t
Will be hours before food can be looked
at, yet the first step toward cure is
cup of tea An hour afterward comes
the craving for tho tea cigarette. Gin
