1sfs rn Portuguese Colonies Much Like
 It Was 300 Years Age.
 The Portuguese colonies in Africa are the Rip Van Wrinkles land of real lty. After three centuries of white dominion they remain pretty much in tie Condition in which Da Gama and his bold successors left them. In the years report Of our consul for Angola these Portuguese DeeHliarities stand out strongly. Thus, from Loanda, the capital, to Cape Town, is about 1, i90 miles, and the journey should take about six days What actually hap pens is this: You first take trip of 3,000 miles to Madeira, where you way, lay the next mail steamer, and then complete the excursion by another journey of 4,S00 miles to Cape Town, Ii short 7,80o miles have to be tray- e1ed to cover a distance of l, 600 miles. A letter between Cape Town and Lo- anda takes about two months. Here Is picture of what trades mean in the favored region of Gabinda bay, where there is single trader, who occupies a house of three rooms, with shop of 20 by s feet attached. The place is stocked with puneheons of some vile stuff called rum" which are ex- changed for palm kernels. Knots of natives from the interior villages with loads of kernels begin to present themselves at the shop at 6 a. rl., and when the trader at last makes his ap- pearance there is a noisy crowd of ker- nel-se1lers and thirsty hangers-on. The exchange of rum for kernels is quick Iy effected, and by g in the morning the entire population may be seen ly- ing under the shelter of tke eoe0anut palms, either stupidly drunk or noisily quarreIing. On a good day, which is often enough Sunday the trader at CaBinda bay gets rid of about 190 gal Ions of rum. And he ayers that the scene described is repeated every day in the year. Next to rum and "civili- zation." the greatest curse of West Africa are smallpox and the sleeping sickness. From the last no case of recovery has ever been known, and so contagious is it that in the native Christian communities every com munieant has a separate vessel from which to partake of the saeramental wine It is true there are labor ar~ engagements which look uneommonly like slavery-but then so there are in Rhodesia, and some are g1eefu1l. an- tieipating the time when Johannesburg will be better-London I.eaders

Somebody Apparently Selling Ii Widely
 h Place of Antimony.


 in Place of Antimony.
 4 rural chemist has accidentally dis- covered a curious case of adulteration. or, more accurately, of substitution in the matter of drug commonly sold in pharmacies. rural and urban. The drug is the tri-sulphide of antimony, commonly known as black antimony. The chemist in analysing patent remedy discovered that the Ingredients nearly eorresponded with those in a formula furnished by the Agricultural department but that coal dust had been substituted for black antimony. Struck with this discovery, the chemist obtained twelve samples of black anti monV, nest of them from druggists in his own neighborhood, but one from New York. of these, only one was really black antimony; the others were coal dust, coal dust and chalk or coal dust and sand. There is no reason to suppose that the druggists knew of the substitution, for there would be little profit in the deception unless it were praeticed on a large scale: but it seems plain that some manufacturing chemist is selling a worthless snbsti- ute for black anthony. Indeed the substitute may be sent out from more than one factory, for while the dozen samples tested came from the eastern coast, the remedy in which the sub- stitution was originally detected came from the west. The New York drug gist who sold sample of the substi- ute does business in a fashionable quarter where there is a considerable demand for black antimony on the part of grooms and ccachmen, who use it in the preparation of condition pow ders for horses. Two other druggists in the same neighborhood do not keep black antimony. One of them keeps what is known as red antimony, which is chemically identically with black antimony though different in appear ance. Red antimony is, a product of chemical precipitation, while black antimony is a natural product found in many parts of Europe. in Nova Scotia and Nevada.

Chinese Product That Fears Tal1oW
 Brought to south earoIina.
 The people of China are emiRantly practical, and have added much to the civilization of mankind by their habits of industry, of which the method of obtaining vegetable taIlow is an excel lent example The tree producing this talloW 4s called Stillingia Sebifera, and .he words remind us Of the dropping product and it's soapy nature. The Chi nese pick the seeds Of this tree in au- tumn, and first place them in a wooden cylinder, open at the top and perforat- cd at the bottom. After being steamed over a fire for ten or fifteen minutes the talloW is softened and is then more readily separated. The seeds sere trans ferred from the steaming cylinder to stone mortar, in which they are gently beaten. They are then thrown on d sieve. heated over the fire and sifted, by which process the tallow is separat- ed and resem bles coarse Indian meal. In this state the tallow is put between circles of twisted straw and these plae- ed in a press, by which the tallow Is forced out and falls into tub. Freed | om all impurities, it is then 8 senl- fluid of a beautiful white color. Candles made oi it easily melt in hot weather and on this account they are dipped in melted wax of various eolors-red
 green or yellow-and are exposed for sale by tallow chandlers and other shopkeepers. This remarkable tree ia found on the banks of the Min, in Sze- ehuen It also grows near Soochow, and has been transplanted to North and South Carolina. It is a tree with shining green leaves and small yellow flowers at the end of the branches. They are succeeded by dark colored seeds and vessels containing delicate white seeds. In late autumn, on the banks of the Tsien-tang river in Cho- kiang, south of Hangchow, this tree is striking object. The leaves are then of a blood red color instead of light green. When the tallow has been squeezed out of the seeds the remainder Is preserved to be used as fuel or to enrich the Philadelphia Record
