80. 900. 900 slaves In Africa.

He'll Chatelain. traveller in the
Dark Continent, lectured before The
American Geographical Society ir
New York on "Tho Internal Slavi
Trade in Africa"
''If any one thinks that slave trad
ing is thing of the past, be said, al
quoted iu the New York Sun, she il
mistaken. Among tho 200, 900, 900 o.
people in Africa, at least $4,000, ,00e
are slaves"
If British estimate to which he re-
ferred was correct, Mr.. Chatelain said,
5000 lives we're sacrificed every
year in the traffic. For every slave
that reached the coast, eight or nine
we're sent to the interior. The idea
still prevailing that all of the slave
traders in Africa we're Arabs or ma
tiyes was gross error. In a large
part Of the interior, slaves we're the
regular currency. Parents sold their
children. This internal slave trade OF
Africa was the real open sore Of the
world, as it was in Livingston's time.
''In Morocco" the lecturer added,
"slave trading is carried on under the
protection of our Stars and Stripes.
Moroccan Jews, who are prohibited by
law from holding slaves, place them
selves under the protection of our flag
in order to carry on the traffic. "
There were in some parts of the
country, he continued, houses for rails
ing slave children, who found a ready
market He told as an instance of the
mortality among the slaves, by whom
most of the porterage is done, of ono
explorer who started in with 450 men,
Of whom all that came out were 1870.
''The first slave caravan that l saw,
he said, chad twenty women. The
leader told me that fifty of his lot had
died on the way to the coast.
The lecturer showed picture of
slave so fastened that he could not
move limb or turn his face from the
broiling sun that beat on it. He also
showed pictures of slaves who had
been abandoned to die along the
caravan roads. According to the re-
port of a German consul, strangers
who knew not the road to one city
had only to keep in the middle b.
tween the two lines of bleaching bones
of slaves who had been left to die
there, and they could not miss their
way.

He was a bright, dapper youGg
lawyer. full of spirits, and possibly
little too smart. For some time the
judge of the district court had been
waiting an opportunity to suppress
trifie OF this smartness, as it became
bore when constantly opposed to his
Honor's long experience. The young
lawyer jumped up to defend a case of
stealing in which the accused had re-
tanned him. Unfortunately he had
failed to thoroughly acquaint himself
with the facts of the case, other than
that his client had been arrested for
stealing.
"Your Honor" he cried, 81 ask
you does the prisoner look like man
that would steal? Does he look like
man that would suffer his honesty to
be demeaned by appropriating another
mans gold? mol thousand times
No! He is patriotic citizen OF the
country, one of the proud uphoders
of our grand republic. and l say it is
an outrage for the plaintiff to accuse
such gentleman of theft. Think of

CITY OF GOLD.
Remarkable Project for the Paris
Exposition of 1900,
The Entire History of Money to
Be Represented.

When, half dozen years hence,
the question is asked, "What, was the
most remarkable sight at tho Paris
Exposition of 1902" it is very prob
able that the unanimous answer will
be "The City of Gold" AT previous
international expositions there have
been many striking features-the
Effel Tower, for example = but
at no exposition hitherto held has
there been feature in any way re-
sembliug this one.
The creator of this golden city is
M. Arthur Heulherd, a distinguished
antiquarian and historian. Old Paris
has for years been his special study,
and he has written some scholarly
works on the life of the great city in
the past. Thus it chanced that he re-
Gently conceived the idea OF repre-
senting at the forthcoming exposition
that section of Paris in which the
Pont-au-Change is located, his pur-
pose being to give financial picture
Of Paris as it existed in old days.
NJ. Heulherd at first proposed to
represent simply this financial section
of old Paris. Gradually, however, he
evolved n greater and an unparalleled
project. Why not represent the en-
tire history of money at the forthcom-
ing exposition? he asked himself.
Surely great interest would attach to
history of fnance,a history showing
the eternal tragedy and the eternal
comedy OF money-showing, too, the
evolution of silver and gold through
past ages, the part which the metals
have played in the history of taxation,
the manner in which they are coined,
and finally, the role which they
have played in various countries since
they first came to be used as standards
OF value. Impressed with the gran
deur Of this idea, NJ. Heulherd grad
ually transformed his picture OF Pont-
au-Change into universal golden
city.
In this golden city, which will be
erected in the very heart of the expo
stion, there will be several distinct
sections. In one will be shown silver,
copper and gold in their native state,
in another will be shown the various
methods of mining and transporting
these metals, and in another will be
seen various specimens of coins made
from the metals at various epochs.
The great gold mines Of the world will
be clearly pictured, together with
graphic tableaux of the manner in
which they are worked. In this way,
it is claimed tourists can obtain as
good an idea of these mines as they
could by visiting them in the Trans
vaal, Australia or California.
There will also be a complete display
of all the tools and machinery that
have been and are at present used for
the purpose of mining and coming.
The methods of oil countries will be
represented, and piles of the money
used in various countries will be
shown as examples of their work.
Moreover, during the exposition many
coins will be struck from crude gold
and silver, and it is likely that on
them will be impressed special mono
gram commemorative OF the great
Pnrisian triumph in the year 1900

PIGS AND THEIR CARE.

Do not let your hogs bed in old filthy
sheds, nor about straw, dirt or manure
piles.
Don't waste any roots or apples. No
food does winter hogs more good than
such food, because it acts as laXitive.
A hog in the torment of itching with
out the pleasure of scratching, seems
very uncomfortable. Set up post for
him to rub upon.
All grain fed to hogs should be per-
fectIy sound. Heated or moldy corn
will cause intestinal worms and bring
on attacks of diarrhoea.
The hog, like the buckwheat berry,
fills best when the cool nights come.
When the pig points porkward, push
him along toward the barrel.
Keeping swine around the home and
farm buildings, as you would house
dogs, is like trying to make farm hands
of tramps; they become unmitigated
nuisances, of no use to themselves nor
to anyone else.
Slop for hog feed at night should be
prepared in the morning, and that for
the morning feed should be prepared at
night. 1t will become softened by be-
ing kept, and the temperature of the
feed viii generally be better.-Rural

GREAT DOVE STEW.
California Club Feasts on Two Thu
sand Birds.

California Club Feasts on Two Thou
sand Birds.
Think of 1000 doves in an immense
stew
The mere thought is enough to set
ones appetite on edge, and the reality
discounts the far-famed four-and-twen-
ty blackbirds that have passed into
song and story as Dinistering to the APP
petite of the king.
Dove stew i'll an epicurean degree is
only possible in California, and no.
where in the state are the mournful
warblers so plump of form and luscious
of flavor as they are in the vast wheat
growing section that has Marysville as
its center. If the Suffer and Yuba Gun
club had done nothing else to merit dis
tinction it has made a name for itself
by its happy conception of instituting
this Lucullian feast as the feature of its
annual outings at Shelton's grove, two
miles southeast of the city.
The inspiration had its birth three
years ago. At that time only 500 birds
were offered in sacrifice to the occasion.
1t proved a revelation to those who were
just initiated into its marvellous and ir-
resistible mysteries and the succeeding
went into the depths of the pot to be
converted into savory compound for
the gun club and its guests. Apparent
ly the capacity of the appetite must
have increased with the passage of time,
for this year Abe Lewis, the presiding
genius of the caldron, called for 1000
birds and the club turned over to him
exactly 2,O41. The birds were procured
by several detachments of the club after
two days of hunting, and were sent in
rapid installments to headquarters,
where they were picked and placed on
ice, IL men assisting in the operation.
Uncle Abe Lewis, who learned the
rudiments of the culinary art in the
army, superintendent the affair, which
proved to be task of no small magni-
tude. Those who have tasted of his fas-
cinating concoction VOW that never was
such dish prepared before, and this is
the mOdus operandi: In 25-gallon ket-
tie, half full of water, he placed 300
doves, six cans of tomatoes, and two
gallons of chopped onions. These boil
for nearly three hours, and into the
steaming mixture he adds one gallon of
cube potatoes and eight cans of French
mushrooms. Every successive minute
the escaping steam becomes more saw
Ory, and when the cooking process has
continued long enough to render the po-
t@toes palatable two gallons of dump
1ings, quart of minced green peppers,
and some cayenne are added. Fifteen
minutes thereafter the dove stew has
reached its apotheosis, and when the
guests are seated in the leafy grove, and
Uncle Abe motions to his six assist
ants to lift the lids from the bubbling
caldrons, the scene is picturesque and
inspiring beyond description. At this
years outing there were 20 tables, which
were twice filled, over 400 partaking of
the dainty dish.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

Too Much Storage Room.

One of the things which did, which
may have bad consequences, was to give
too much room for the storage of sur

much at the time, but storing having

PHOTOGRAPH OF CAPE HORN.
First Reproduction of Famous
Place Has Just Been Made

First Reproduction of Famous
Place Has Just Been Made.
Ever since Cape Horns existence has
been known, efforts have been made to
get a picture of it. Artists have gone
down there, and some have been fortu-
nate enough to secure a few rough
sketches, but an actual reproduction of
the spot did not exist until q few DAYS
ago. This was when negative made by
Capt. Rivers, of the ship A. J. Ropes,
was developed.
The southernmost point of South
America, is, for a piece of barren land,
the best known in all the world. Every
body who can read knows of Cape Horn,
and for some mysterious reason takes
an interest in it. OF course the great
writers of sea stories have done their
share to make the spot famous, but
there seems to be some reason deeper
than all this Why should it not be
an easy matter to make n picture of
Cane Horn? There are dozen reasons
outside of the Photographic ones, and
they alone are enough to deter the
camera operator from attempting it.
In the first place, it is not always
possible to see Cape Horn, even though
the ship is only few miles away,
storms nearly always prevail at that
end of the world, and the atmosphere is
likely to be hazy. When the water is
comparatively calm there is likely to
he a fog. During the seasons of the
heavy, dry winds and clear weather
mo shin would dare venture within sight
of the Horn. At other times the light
Is likely to be poor, and so make pic
ture impossible. And then, when all
conditions are favorable, the chances
are there viii be no camera aboard the
1bip that happens to be there at the OPP
perfume time. ,.n
Photographically, the principal diff,
,nltv would be lack of light and con-
trast. Under ordinary conditions a
plate exposed on Cape Horn would
zeal very little. if. indeed, it gave so
inch as an outline. The chances are

The bicycle fever has broken out in a most
unexpected quarter. 1t is only natural that
landsman should take to that speedy meth
cd of locomotion, but who would ever think
that seamen would get the craze? Perhaps
it is because they have become accustomed
to rolling. Nearly every British ship that
comes into port now carries bicycle, and
the skipper is usually an expert rider. At
sea he rides around and around the main
deck, and as soon as he reaches port he
takes his wheel ashore. Three sea captains
were riding in the park the other afternoon.
One of them was a novice and confessed his

Proper Storage for Eggs.

Eggs should not be stored near any
odorous commodity, as they have all
most the proclivity of butter for abb
sorbing odors. Especial care should be
taken in shipping. In one instance a
shipment of eggs was placed near
large shipment of apples on the ship
and became almost unstable, because it
was complained that they had the odor
of apples. Picked eggs are not so apt
to be affected by odors as other eggs.
In the picking there seems to be de-
posit on the shells which tends to Ill
the pores; perhaps that is the reason
why the shells of picked eggs al
most always burst when boiled.
