There are two more black dogs, strang-

have met before. The spaniel is fool.
His ears are ridiculously long and flap
in the most absurd manner. His nose
is broad, his eyes bulge, and his legs are
handy. A dog like this is only fit for
hedgerows- Exchange tiptoe courtesies
with the two black strangers. Growl at
them. They growl back. We are all
reproved. Why?

Horse with a Memory.

Eleven years ago horse was pur-
chased for the fire engine Portland No.
2, ON the Munjoy hill. This horse was
called old Tom and it helped draw the
engine for six years and was then dis
posed of. 1t has been drawing an ash
cart of late years and the other day
went by the engine house. Engineer
Loring, who knew the horse well, since
they came to that engine house in the
same year and were there together for
six years. fell into conversation with
the driver and told him that he hadn't
a doubt that if the old horse was put in
his old stall and the gong was sounded
he would rush for his place in front of
the engine just as he used to do. The
drived doubted this and they agreed to
try it. The old horse, now fifteen years
old, was put in his old stall, where he
hadn't been for five years. At the first
sound of the gong he started for his
old place under the harness in front of
the engine. He tried to go quickly, but
made sorry exhibition of nimbleness
compared to his former habit. This
seems to be pretty good evidence OF a
torse's memory.-Portland Press.

NEW AFRICAN LAKE.
French Occupation OF Tinsucroo Adds
to Geographical knowledge

to Geographical Knowledge
Although the occupation of Timbuc-
too by the French has not yet added
materially to the volume of Frances
colonial trade, it has unauestionably
added very greatly to our knowledge of
the geography of that part of Africa.
says the Edinburgh Scotsman, and in
particular has resulted in a discovery
OF singular interest and Importance
Timbuctoo, as ali the world knows,
stands on the boundary line between
the Sahara and the western Soudan-a
little to the north OF the great Niger
bend-but what was not known was the
existence in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the city, and lying somewhat to
the west OF series of lakes and marshes
covering large area OF country. These
great sheets of water were first seen
by the Joffre column, and have since
been explored by French officers sta
toned in the neighborhood, who have
laid down their general outlines with
some approach to accuracy. The most
important of these lakes is called Lake
Faguibure, and runs in a direction.
roughly, east and west, Its total length
being some sixty or seventy miles. A
couple of smaller sheets OF water con-
meet with the Niger, and there are other
lakes in the neighborhood. AS might
be supposed these lakes are the center
of rich agricultural and pastoral dis
trict. Crops of various kinds are grown
in abundance, and the natives have
large fOckS and herds. Perhaps the
most curious feature of the discovery is
the fact that neither Barth nor Dr. Lag
appears to have heard of this fertile re-
gion, and it is to be presumed that the
the direction of the lakes. The news
of this discovery will no doubt revive
the interest in the occupation of Tim
buctoo in France, where, after the first
enthusiasm was over, there was a
marked tendency to criticise Col. Bon
nier's act as rash and premature
tendency rather strengthened than
weakened by the recent trouble with the
Tauregs. The results of observations
on the climate of that part of Africa eS-
| tablish, it is said, the perfect feasibility
| of Europeans living there the whole
year round, with certain precautions
The months of April and May are said
| to be the most trying, not only for Eu-
| ropeans, but for natives, but December
and January are so cool that a great
| coat is sometimes welcome, and the
natives report that one year ice formed
at least this is the deduction drawn
| from the native statement that "the
| marsh became stCne"

CANNIBALiSM AT SEA.

Desire to Eat Human Beings Stronger
the Ocean than on Land.
Then it comes to pass, when the mo-
ment OF keenest agony is reached, that
the starving man begins to eye his COM
panion with the wolf-glare of a beast OF
prey. His pangs become paroxysmal.
During their greatest intensity there
springs up within him a fierce impulse
to slay his neighbor that he may feed
on his flesh and slake his thirst with his
blood. This terrible prompting to can
nibalism, it may be noted, is, however.
rare, save in cases OF famine from
Shipwreck.
Although ii is customary to regard il
as a common feature of starvation, and
to make thrilling statements of the fire.
quency with which even mothers will.
under the goad Of hunger, kill and eat
their children; and though startling as
sertions to this effect have been made
by historians of great sieges, yet it
ought to be said that, as a general rule,
well-authent;cated cases of cannibal-
ism among civilized people will be
found to occur only at sea. They are
very rarely found on land. And what is
more curious still, whenever famiShed.
shipwrecked men set foot on shore, no
matter how desolate and barren may be
their rock of refuge, they seem as if by
magic at once to Danish from their
minds the very idea of anthropophagy,
or man-eating. and that, too, though
they might have been resignedly con-
templating it as an imperative neces-
sity a few hours before.
In the case of Ensign Prentiss Of the
Eighty-fourth regiment and his COM
panions. who were wrecked on the bar
rem island off Cape Breton in 1850, the
difference between famine on shore and
on sea is curiously exemplified- Prem
tiss records that they were able to en-
dure the most fearful pangs of hunger
without ever so much as a thought OF
resorting TO eannibalism for relief, so
long, however, and only so long as they
kept on land. But when they took to
their bcats-and it was not once mere
ly that they experienced this-in order
to escape from their rock-bound prison.
though they were not a whit worse on
for food than they were on land, yet the
moment they put to sea with one ac-
cord they began to think of killing and
eating one of their number On the
other hand, when they found their at
tempt to escape futile, and put back to
shore. whenever they landed the hors
rible idea of csnnibalism seemed to van.
