A Genius For Farming.

Miss Annie Dennis of Talbottom, Ga. =,
is fine looking young woman of %,
who seems to have a genius for farm
ing. According to a Georgia paper, she
owns handsome estate of 1000 acres,
which she cultivates with great skill
and success. Upon it she conducts a
dairy, a stock farm, a cannery, a pre-
serving establishment, vineyard and
wine distillery and piggery. Each Of
these is prosperous to u high degree.
The owner is public spirited and ex-
hibits her products at every fair ard
exposition. She began this work in 1888
and in seven years has carried off nearly
100 prizes. She ascribes her success to a
good education and careful reading. She
makes a special study of the application
of science, particularly chemistry, to
her fields of industry and utilities every
new idea which appears.

Womankind appeals to the tastes

few of its interesting departments.

it is the favorite paper for woman.

The story is told Of n 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 teamster in train
which was driven for the most part by
negroes. The negroes were hired at the
rate Of $50 per month, but the white
soldier received no more than his regu-
lar pay of SIG.
He appeared somewhat dissatisfied
with this arrangement and made an ap-
plication to his captain.
Il should Ike, !" he said gravely, ito
be appointed negro by brevet, and be
assigned to duty in accordance with my
brevet rank P'-Youth's Companion.

Football In Africa.

Englishmen are proverbial for taking

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

coming popular ON the shores Of Lake
Nyassa, and at Kotakota, which a 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 Us
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 tine
black players decline to hamper them
selves with boots and find apparently

MEN WORSE THAN APES.
Revolving Customs Of soTue Of the African
Cannibal Tribes.

Revolving Customs Of SoIre Of the African
CanuibaI Tribes.
The cannibalism OF The black secret
society known as the Human Leopards
in the country near Sierra Leone brings
forcibly before us the difference between
the east African and west African hab-
its of eating human flesh. Tho SherbO
cannibals waylaid and killed their vic
Tins and afterward feasted ON their
flesh. The cannibalism Of the east coast
is of a very different kind. The flesh of
the old people-the grandfather and
grandmother of family-is dried and
mixed with condiments, and a portion
of this is offered, with a dim sort Of
sacramental meaning, to travellers who
become guests OF the family. To refuse
it would be deadly insult. To accept
it is passport to the privileged position
of friend of the house. Many Of our
travellers in east Africa have eaten thus
sacramentally of the ancestors Of some
dark skinned potentate.
The cannibalism Of the west coast is
of a more horrible kind, connected with
fetichism, the worst developments Of
which are peculiar to that country. But
there is a hideously genuine appetite for
fresh human flesh still existing among
the negroes of west Africa. This canni-
balism manifests itself in a refinement
of gluttony which has its mild analogy
in the tastes Of Europeans. Young boys
are bought from the dark interior, kept
in pens, fattened upon bananas and fin
ally killed and baked. To these Thyes-
team feasts come not only the savage
chiefs of the interior, but also, ii IS
whispered, black merchants from the
coast. Men who appear at their places
of business III English territory in broad
cloth and tall hats, who ape the man
ners of their white masters, are said TO
disappear annually into the interior,
where, we are told, they might be seen
in naked savagery taking part in the
banquets on plump boys, in which they
delight.
Be this as it may, somehow the native
of the west coast and its Hinterl land is
unlike the East or South African native
in the deep lying savasery and the ex-
traordinary facility for returning TO it
which are lis leading and very unpleas-
ant characteristics. The subject claims
the attention of the anthropologist, and
certainly suggests curious reason for
questioning the relationship of the black
man and the ape or the gorilla, seeing
that the race Of monkeys seems to be
singularly free from anything like can
nibalism. London Saturday Review.

THE OLDEST osELIsK.
1t Stands on the Banks Of the Nile Not
Far From Cairo.

1t stauds on the Banks of the Nile Not
Far From Cairo.
Tho Oldest of all the obelisks is the
beautiful one of rosy granite which
stands alone among the green fields ON
the banks of the Nile not far from
Cairo. 1t is the gravestone of a great
city which has vanished and left only
this relic behind. That city was Beth
shemes of Scripture. the famous On,
which is memorable to all Bible readers
as the residence of the priest Of On,
Potipherah, whose daughter Asenath
Joseph married. The Greeks called it
Heliopolis, the city of the sun, because
there the worship Of the sun had its
chief center and its most sacred shrine.
1t was the seat of the most ancient uni
versity in the world, to which youthful
students came from all parts of the
world to learn the occult wisdom which
the priests OF On alone could teach.
Thales, Solon, Eudoxus, Pythagoras
and Plato all studied there; perhaps
Moses too. 1t was also the birthplace Of
the sacred literature of Egypt, where
were written ON papyTus leaves the orig
inal chapter of the oldest book in the
world, generally known as 1.-The Book
of the Dead, giving a most striking
account of the conflicts and triumphs Of
the life after death, whole copy or
fragment of which every Egyptian, rich
or poor, wished to have buried with
him in his coffin. and portions of which
are found inscribed on every mummy
case and ON the walls of every tomb. In
front of one of the principal temples of
the sun in this magnificent city stood,
along with a companion long since de-
stroyed. the solitary obelisk which we
now behold ON the spot. 1t alone has
survived the wreck of all the glory of
the place. 1t was constructed by User
tesen I, who is supposed to have reigned
$500 B. c., and has outlived all the dy-
nastic changes of the land and still
stands where it originally stood nearly
Al centuries ago. What appears of its
shaft above ground is 68 feet in height,
but its base is buried in the mud of the
Nile, and year after year the inundation
of the river deposits its film of soil
around its foot and buries it still deeper
i'll its sacred grave.-Pall Mall Gazette.
