In short, when Cromwell gave the in
terviews or sittings for Bernini's bust
it was evidently a period when, in spite
of enormous cares, the protector could
occasionally give scope to the relax
atoms he loved. Americans who come
to London will see in this wonderful
marble portraiture something of the
oliver who loved music, encouraged
musicians and had weekly concerts.
This Is the Cromwell who collected a
fine library, who sought out and gath
cred around him men of genius and
learning.
The bust shows the protector wearing
the Dunbar medal, struck in honor of
the victory over the Scots at Dunbar
on September 3. 1850. The reverse of
the medal, which is worn outwards,
represents the old house of commons,
with Speaker Lenthall in the chair, and
Cromwell addressing the house from
the treasury bench.
The bust helps one to understand the
dignity of bearing ascribed to the pro-
tector by his contemporaries on great
public occasions. Nor were the COM
ments of his opponents on his personal
appearance always uncompamentary.

FEARFUL FAMINE IN AFRICA.
Missionaries Report Unprecedented |
Scenes Near Zanzibar.


Recent telegraphic accounts printed in
the newspapers of the famine existing
along the coast of East Africa, between
Membasi and Zanzibar, have been painful
reading, but numbers of letters that have
been received lately in London from mis-
sionaries resident in the afflicted districts
show a state of things that is even with
out example in that country of frequent
famines. In general, 1t is stated that the
mortality is so great that in many cases
the dead have to remain unburied, and
that the relief work, carried on from the
mission, into which more than 1000 ma
tives were driven by starvation, is quite
insufficient to meet the necessities of lle
case. One of the mission staff, writing
from Megala, the chief town of Usambara,
says:
Things are getting desperate since the
rains began; all outdoor work has been
stepped and 200 more people have been
left without food or money. The deaths
since the rains have been truly appalling
Ia on Monday, 10 on Tuesday, and yester-
day 10 before II a. m. l dread asking how
many since. Ten or twelve were left

ETC., according to the nature of the
source.
The crucial stage comes when the
analyst has to decide whether the blood
is human or otherwise, and for this
purpose he relies chiefly on the micro
scope. Under the microscope the fluid
containing the blood will be found to
have certain bodies floating in it. If
these bodies are oval in shape ne
knows at once that the blood may be
that of a fish or bird, but it cannot be
human. If, however, the corpuscles
are round. he is equally certain that
the blood belongs ito the same class as
human blood, although 1t might equal
ly well be that of a horse, a dog, or
guinea pig.
The analysts only resource now is to
determine by measuring these micro
scopic bodies whether or not the blood
is really that of a man, and it is in
this exceedingly delicate operation that
his great difficulty is found. He is
however, quite equal to this emergency
and is at last able to appear in court
and swear that the stain on the pris-
ones clothing or weapon is really that
of human blood.

Among the most widely known and
generally celebrated characters in Mon
tana, and particularly in the central
and eastern portions of the state, is
the old army scout and veteran from
tiersmen, known by the name Of Liver
Eatin' Johnson" What Mr. Johnson's
real name is none of his friends, none
of his oldest cronies, profess to know
For a generation they have heard him
called by no other name-a title which
passed from the grizzled pioneers of
the SOS and '7O's to their sons and
gTandsons of to-day.
Liver Eating Johnson is now 76
years Of age. The bones of iron have
at last succumbed to rheumatism, and
he is now one of the steady boarders
at the Hunter Hot springs His stall
wart form is now slightly bent with
rheumatism, his hair and whiskers are
gray and his step is a trif1e uncertain,
but his eyes are still clear and firm,
his face bronzed and determined and
his massive form imposing.
1t was for the purpose of finding out
how Liver Eating Johnson got that
porter made trip to the springs the
other day. The reporter first ascer-
tained that during his six months stay
at the hotel Mr.. Johnson had not once
called for either liver and bacon or liver
and onions. Then the reporter pre-
scented his card.

much to permit him to sit very long
at one time. He would get up and pace
up and down in front of the reporter
as he talked, occasionally humping
his heavy stick down on the floor of the
porch or shaking 1t at imaginary red
men. Occasionally he would again seat
himself and talk from his chair,
IF you don't object, Mr.. Johnson
ventured the reporter, Il would like
you to tell me how you got the name

What do they say?"

tracts devoid of vegetation on the res
ervation. Agriculture, however, could
not be made remunerative in that brok-
en- and hflly country, but the country
is admirably adapted for stock raising,
and the Indians, if given the required
start by providing them with 1000
cows, can follow that pursuit with
profit. The Northern Cheysnnes are of
fine physique and seem to be willing
to work. The Indians at present own
no stock except about 1000 ponies,
which are of very little use to them.
There are small tracts of bottom lands
along the valleys of the Rosebud, Mud
dy and Lame Deer creeks that can be
irrigated at comparatively small ex-
pense.
There has been a. good deal of fric-
ton among whites and Indians residing
on the reservation, and three white men
have been killed by the Indians during
the past eight years. All three were
unprovoked murders, arising through
the inability of the Indians to under
stand the rights of the whites, or to
concede that the whites are anything
except intruders.
The agreements entered into by
Agent Mclaughlin with the white set
tiers on the reservation will require the
government to pay, all told, the sum
of S151 595, in order to acquire the lands
ton This is a large sum, but it is
cheaper than an Indian war, and moth
ing is more certain than that II the
present anomalous condition of things
continues there is bound to be blood
shed on the reservation.
The agency buildings are situated in
a valley on the east side of Lame Deer
creek, about four miles south of the
northern boundary of the reservation.
Some of the buildings are badly in need
of repair.
Inspector Mclaughlin summarizes
the following recommendations:
