AFRICAN RIVERS.

1t is distinguishing feature of most
African rivers that they contain no
water for at least eight months of the
year. 1t is true that water can almost
always be found in river bed by dig
ging for it, but in outward appearance a
river is usually broad belt of sand ly-
ing between high and precipitous banks.
Many and many coach has been upset
in one of these drifts, as they are called.
The descent is always steep, frequently
so steep that the brakes cannot hold the
coaches.
They start going down at a crawl, and
then the coach gathers way and goes on
with rush, the mules are driven into
heap anyhow, and one wonders that they
do not get their legs broken; but they
usually land ali right, while the coach,
practically unmanageable. goes down
like sort of toboggan, jumping from
stone to stone, and swaying like ship
in a sudden squat, and may or may not
arrive right side uppermost at the bot
tom. In fact the passenger who has
gathered his ideas of coaching from a
trip to Brighton or drive to Virginia
Water, finds that he has lot to learn
about the subject when he gets to South
Africa. Still, on the whole, it was Won
dreful how few accidents did occur, and
if one considers that the coaches ran
night and day, and that when there was
no moon it would sonnet times be too dark
to see the mules from off the coach, it
reflects great credit on the drivers

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE.
Orders Issued to the G. A. r. by Depart

Orders Issued to the G. A. r. by Depart
ment Commander Simonds
Hon. William E. Simonds, of Hartford,
department commander of the Grand
Army in this state, has issued orders
concerning the observance of Memorial
day, and has made details from the post
of the state to insure the observance of
the day in towns where there are no
Grand Army organizations. In the or
der concerning the day the department
commander says:
Comrades: Remember May 80, when
the Memorial day cometh wherein we
specially remember our dead and note
their recruits from our ranks in the
twelve-month gone.
I'VE are a part of one vast army of
the living and the dead, the rear on
earth and the van in the white light of
the immortals. Year by year the sound
of our marching here grows feeber
through age, through decay, and
through the vanishing of our comrades
into the shadows. And year by year the
head of the column grows in shining
number as these vanished comrades
emerge from the shadows clad in the
eternal youth of the summerland of God.
''As ever, drop the flowers in whatever
rich profuson you may, where we bade
adieu to the mortal part of these, our
vanished comrades, firm in the assur-
ance that the fragrance and beauty of
the flowers will blend with our love and
rise with the grateful recognition of that
part of our army which is larger to-day
in Heaven than ON earth.
Not for long, this our privilege.
Rest and peace are on the guidons
dropping from the walls, whose cleaning
is rising on our sight.
Let us be faithful to our trust"

BILLS WE'RE NOT APPROVED.
Finance Board Held Up Those of the

Finance Board Held Up Those of the
Special Legislative Committee.
The board of finance met last night
and among the matters up for consider
alton were the bills of members of the
special legislative committees of the
boards of aldermen and councilmen, APP
pointed to go to Hartford and appear
| before committees to be heard on bills
before the general assembly, involving
the city's interests. The committees
We're regularly appointed in pursuance
| to votes taken by each board of the
common council and at the time those
votes were taken it was understood that
the expenses incurred by the members
of those committees would be paid by
the city government.
The bills of the members of the COM
mittees were presented to the board of
finance about two weeks ago and that
board decided to refer them to the cor
poration counsel for an opinion as to
their legality, before approving the bills.
The bills We're accordingly so referred
and the opinion of the corporation coun-
sci was received and read at last nights
meeting. In his opinion Mr.. Ely states
that the bills are not legal because the
committee were not appointed by joint
action of both boards of the common
council. The board of finance, in con-
sequence of this opinion, did not approve
the bills last night and they still re-
main on the table.
When the purport of the corporation
counsel and the action of the board
in regard to the bills became known
last night much adverse criticism was
INDUCED in by members CT the boards
of aldermen and councilmen, many of
whom were in city hall attending the
telephone hearing. twas pointed out that
large bills were contracted by the cor
poration counsel and the mayor when
they were at the capitol to look after
the city's interests and that their bills
We're approved without question by the
board of finance without any attempt
to refer them to the corporation coun-
sci for an opinion as to whether Joint
action by the common council was nee
essary to make them legal bills 1t was
also pointed out that the corporation
counsel has remained in Hartford near
ly every day during the session of the
legislature, ostensbly to look after bills
concerning the city Of New Haven and
that his bill was consequently a large
one.
One gentleman called attention to the
fact that in addition to the bills for the
corporation counsel approved by the
1N1o rJ yNfa a., ~
has been asked to vote for transfer of
81 900 for the corporation counsl 4. part
of which is to meet his expenses in
Hartford, and that the resolution for
transfer was passed by the common
council.
The board of finance last night voted
to designate the Merchants bank as the
bank of deposit of city money This
bank bid for the money and offered 2
per cent. OH the daily balance.

FRANKLIN THE PRINTER.

Franklins retirement from active
printing did not lessen his interest in
his trade and every possible improve
ment in the art received attention from
him. s. Nothing proved better the
printers attachment for his calling than
an amusement of his during his diplo-
matte service in France. In his own
home he set up press and types, all of
which he or his servants cast, and with
them occasionally printed little baga-
telles and skits of both his friends wri-
editions These printing materials,
consisting of great variety of fonts, ;"
he brought with him ON his return to
America, and sold Fifteen boks of type"
to Francis Childs the New York print
er, and still more to Matthew Carey
The remainder he used to establish his
grandson, Benjamin Franklin Bache, in
business as printer, the original occu-
patton of his grandfather"
Despite the many honors that had
come to him, to the last he held himself
to be first and foremost a printer. He
began his will Il, Benjamin Franklin
Printer, late Minister Plenipotentiary

THE COPRA TRADE.

The single exportable staple, upon
which the trade of Samoa rests, is the
cocoanut, or rather, the dried fruit
thereof, which is commercially known as
copra Were the cocoanut crop an alb
solute failure for a single year, the en-
tire volume of Samoan exports would
not amount to more than six thousand
dollars 1t is generally estimated that
an acre of land should YIELD when the
trees have reached the period of full
bearing, about half a ton of commercial
copra. Green copra, fairly dried, but Ii
able to much shrinkage, has been, for
some years. worth one and one-fourth
cents a pound, when bought from ma
tives; that is to say, an acre ought TO
yield $13.75 per year. But, as a matter
of fact. the income per acre seldom eX-
ceeds twelve dollars. 1t is we'll known
that copra yields a greater percentages
of oil than any other of the great OIL
producing staples, under the modern
process whereby it is mixed with water,
heated and subjected to two DRESSINGS
giving as high as sixty-two and sixty
four per cent. of pure oil. The increase
in the American consumption of copra
is noteworthy. None was shipped to
the United States in 1891 or 1892. In the
following year, the value of the copra
shipped to San Francisco amounted to
81. 259; for the year ending June 30, 1895,
1T was $45, 4S6. The largest single pro-
Queer, as we'll as shipper of copra in sa-
moa, or, indeed, in the South Seas, is
the German firm which has succeeded to
the great properties and business OF
Godeffroy & Son.-Coller's Weekly.

A F1J1AN ORDEAL OF FIRE.

A temporary avenue Of fern and
palm leaves led us to the clearing
where, in shallow pit, we saw huge
piled-up fire of blazing logs, This had
been burning for several days, and the
heat was so great that we hardly cared
to go very near.
! At last the proceedings began. Some
men, gay1y decorated with garlands OF
| flowers. began removing the blazing
| logs. Some they pulled out by hitching
loop at the end of a pole over them;
Others they simply picked up in the
most matter of-fact way. When all
the wood was removed we saw the bot
tom of the pit had pile of large
stones, red hot in it: these they now
! proceeded to level in a very ingenious
way. About a dozen men, armed with
long poles, placed these poles behind
any heap Of stones, rope-the stem Of
bush creeper-was passed behind the
pole, a crowd of natives seized each
end, and, with a sort of CALL answered
by a musical sort of shout and chant
they pulled the ends of the poles along,
scattering the hot stones. This was
done again and again till all was level
ana SHlOOlH. linen, W TIE dSlUlllSll-
ment of the natives, Dr. Hocken, a
scientific man. insised on hanging a
thermometer over the stones One
hardly needed a thermometer to prove
that the heat was real: however, he
had it slung across until 1t went up to
2SS degrees and began to smelt; then he
was satisfied,
When all was ready, suddenly from
out Of the brush came file of garland
ed men. who, without any hesitation,
walked down and across the hot
stones, back again, and round, winding
in and out; then, as they walked, piles
of green stuff We're thrown down to
them, upon which they promptly sat,
and were soon almost hidden by the
dense clouds of sickenng smoke and
steam which arose. After time they
came out, and various people looked at
their feet, without being any the wiser
when they had finished Then large
bundles of native food-yams, taro,
&c.-neatly tied up in leaves, were
placed on the stones to cook.
I seized a small native boy, and, CIV
ing him my handkerchief, told him, as
far as my limited knowledge of Fijan
would allow, to go and put it on one of
the stones to be burned. This he could
not understand at all; he went off with
it, and then returned, looking wistful-
ly up at me, wondering, no doubt,
whether I was a dangerous 1unatic.
at last one of the men picked
up stone from the edge and brought
it. He evidently was not hardened
performed, for he handled it very gin
serly, holding it with leaves. 1t
burned an entirely satisfactory hole in
my handkerchief. I shall send it home
as witness to my story.-Chambers'

TN GATTCTA.

The men and boys were str1kingly
handsome. with straight features. dark
ewes and hair cut across the forehead
and falling on the neck behind, like
velasouez portrait. The garments
+hey wore. too were not only comfort
able and sanitary, but amazingly sat
isfying to the eye. The groundwork, S
to speak. for both men and women,
was rough, home-spun linen, which lay
bleaching in narrow lengths beside the
river. The mems trousers were
stuffed into high black or yellow boots,
and their shirts were embroidered on
the sleeves in blue and red or black,
and confined at the waist by broad
leathern girdles, much ornamented
with brass. The women wore long
garments, like the mems shirts, coming
down to their ankles, and covered, be-
hind and before, by pair of volumi-
nous aprons, made of ruddy, striped
wooden stuff, more or less brilliant in
hue.
Both sexes and all ages, down even
to babies in arms. have short, sleeve
less, sheepSkin coats, usually open in
front. The skin side is embroidered in
varying designs, more or less elaborate,
carried out chiefly in red wool and
green and red leather. When it is fine
the embroidery side is exposed; when
1t is wet the wooly one appears.
These kiptars are very light. very
warm, and yet, being sleeveless, they
are never stuffy, 1t is amazing how
persistently they are worn, and it is
only in the hottest weather that the
peasants strip them off when working
in the fields Blaokwoods Magazine.

in a stall before a ballet Toasts and
blessings are delivered in the Cafe Har-
court, mad measures performed at Bull
ler's; Paul and Pierre, wild lights of the
Latin quarter, rejoice. Both love to
clothe themselves in corduroys, and wear
ties and capes that fly. Both are given
to dancing down the street, arm in-arm
linked to CASTOR and Georges, an amaz-
ing row. Both prefer song to study,
books to books, pipes to pens, and night

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
NO One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can be Cured Unless the
stomach is First Made Strong and


Vigorous.
This is plain because every organ IN
the body depends on the stomach for it's
nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood
are made from the food which the stom-
ach converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with this,
that and the other remedy and neglect
the most important of all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste in the mouth,
gas on the stomach and bowels, palpi-
tation all gone feeling, faintness, head
aches, constipation; later comes loss of
flesh, consumption, liver and heart
troubles, kidney diseases, nervous pros
ration, all of which are the indirect re-
suit of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from Indigestion
should make it a practice to take after
each meal one of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets, allowing it to dissolve in the
mouth and thus mingle with the saliva
and enter the stomach in the most nat
ural way. These tablets are highly rec
commended by DR.. Pennison because
they are composed of the natural diges-
tive acids and fruit essences which as
sist the stomach in digesting all whole
some food before it has time to fer
ment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by Druggists, full sized packages at SO
cents. They are also excellent for in
valids and children. A book on ston-
ach diseases and thousands of testimo-

! STOP-OVERS AT PHILADELPHIA,
| BALTIMORE AND WASHING

TON.
In addition to its excellent train SER
vice the Pennsylvania railroad offers
the traveller between New York and
Chicago and New York and st. Louis
the privilege Of a stop-over of ten days
at Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington. This stop-over is granted on all
through first-class tickets reading via
those cities. Persons desiring tn stop
over must deposit their ticket with the
station agent Immediately on arrival
To those who have business to trans
act in these cities, or to persons who
have never visited the national capital,
this privilege is a valuable one, and
should appeal to all through travellers
between New York and the West and
Chicago or st. Louis and the East. The
stations of the Pennsylvania railroad
are centrally located in Philadelphia
Baltimore and Washington, and access
to any section of the cities is easy by
either the regular street car lines or by
the Pennsylvania railroad cabs to be
found at the Philadelphia and Wash
ington stations
