Expansion i'm Northern Wisconsin.

The wise poor man who bought
farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaping their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense of the word. OPP
portunities have net passed by any
means. There are still thousands of
acres OF rich hardwood timber lands
awaiting the settler as well as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaoliD,
maral aud timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.
Trans portation facilities are un-
eA celled. The wisconsin Centera
Ry., strictly Badger State Road,
pierces the rich northern portion of
the state, Offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world.

IN RIP VAN Wrinkles LAND.
The Portuguese Colonies In Africa
In Backward State.

The Portuguese Colonies In Africa
In a Backward State.
The Portuguese colonies in Africa
are the Rip Van Wrinkles land Of real
ity After three centuries of white
dominion they remain pretty much in
the condition in which Da Cana and
his bold successors left them.
Here is a picture of what trade
means in the favored region Of Cabin
da bay, where there is single white
trader who occupies house of three
rooms, with a "shop" 20 feet by
attached. The place is stocked with
puncheons of some vile stuff called
''rum" which are exchanged for palm
kernels.
Knots of natives from the interior
villages with loads of kernels begin
to present themselves at the shop by
a. M, and when the trader at last
makes his appearance there is a noisy
crowd of kernel sellers and thirsty
hangers on.
The exchange of rum for kernels is
quickly effected, and by 8 o'clock in

be seen lying under the shelter of the
cocoanut palms either stupidity drunk
or noisily quarreling.
The mingled uproar and snoring lasts
till about noon, when there is a sud-
den return to sobriety, and the crowd
clears away to the village to collect
the means for another carousal.
On a good" day the trader at Ca
binda bay gets rid of about 100 gal
Ions of rum, and he AYERS that the
scene described is repeated every day
in the year.
Next to rum and ''civilization" the
greatest curses Of West Africa are
smallpox and the sleeping sickness.
From this last no case of recovery
has ever been known. and so con-
tagious is it that in the native Chris
tian community every communicate
has separate cup from which to par
take of the sacramental wine.-London

Broken Bric-a-B racS.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cementS for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know
why The simple reason is that Mr. Major
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs s.. rs a pound
and another costs 81 Is a gallon, while large
share of the sO-calIed cements and liqui1
glue upon the market are nothing more than
sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials
Majors cement retailS at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
1t his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is dOubtly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
of Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts To over $4,000 a month throughout
the country. Established in 1876.

JUMPED FROM A CAR.
An Old Woman Made the Leap While
Its Speed Was High.

The nerves of the firemen at No. 6 engine
house, on West Washington street, were
made to tingle yesterday morning, at the
sight of an elderly woman jumping off an
English-avenue street car while it was go
ing at high speed. Unnoticed by the con-
ductor, she ,sprang from the car. Her head
striking the pavement first, she rolled over
and over. The fremen ran. to her, while
the car was brought 10 "a standstill But
before assistance reached tho woman she
had crawled TO her feet and was busily
engaged in brushing her dress and adjust
ing her hat. the same time reaching for
her pocket-book, which had been sent
whiriing over the pavement.
A volley of questions came from the
men as they gathered close around, and
all were trying TO get an explanation at
the same time. Enough was learned 10
reason out the cause OF the perilous leap
and miraculous escape. She said she want
ed to get off the car. but IL would not
STOP. AT California street she tried TO
alight, but was prevented by passenger.
Just east of the engine house the woman
succeeded in leaving the car.

DIR. MILnURN's SERMON.
Talks ON s.The Christ Life- and Re-
fers to Coal Strike

DR.. Milburn talked eloquently of 'eThe
Christ Life at the Second Presbyterian
Church last night and incidentally dis
cussed briefly the great coal strike i'm Penn
sylvania. The text was the tenth verse of
the fifth chapter OF Paurs Epistle to the
Romans: 1--WE shall be saved by His life"
The minister said that he supposed every
earnest man and woman in the world is
seeking salvation, striving after redemption
of his or her soul in some way. He defined
salvation thus: ITO come TO a standpoint
where we shall be more than master of self
and where we will be more than master OF
the world in which we live-that is saliva
ton" He discussed the various modes by
which different people seek salvation
asceticism or crushing out of bodily desires
dogma or intellectual belief. practice of
good deeds or philanthropy. adherence to
the church-and declared that while all OF
them are steps toward salvation, there is
only one real, perfect way--that pointed out
by Paul-through the life of Christ De-
scribing the characteristics Of Christ. Dr.
Milburn said that. first of ALL He believed
in and worshipped God who is imminent
In nature-in contradistinction to Buddha
and Mohammed, whose deities were far
