We were all very much interested
last Sunday evening at the Congre-

Brown, native of Liberia, Africa.
He is a young man 10 years of age,
who is preparing himself to return
as missionary to his own people,
and is at present a student in the
Howard University, Washington,
D. c. Before leaving his own country
he travelled seven years with an
English missionary, and has been
outside of Africa only six months,
four in England and two in America.

A Serious Accident.

A very painful and what was at
first thought might prove fatal
accident, occurred in Summerville
Sunday morning. Wilfred Belanger
was driving team containing Mrs.
Thomas Belanger, her daughter,
Alexandrine, and two young nephews
from Manchester, going to church.
The horses became unmanageable
and ran, coming down the Concord
avenue hill. Mrs. and Miss Belanger
fearing 8 smashup jumped from the
carriage. Mrs. Belanger was quite
severely injured about the head and
internally, but returned to her
home the same day. Miss Belanger
in jumping sustained a fall which
caused fracture at the base OF the
skull. She was removed to a near
by house and for time there seemed
to be but slight hope Of her recovery.
By Monday, however, she had re
covered sufficiently to be moved to the
St. Johnshury Hospital and at last
reports her condition was somewhat
improved. Had Mrs. Belanger and
daughter remained in the carriage
the accident would doubtless have
been avoided, for although the horses
ran to Paddock Village the driver
managed to keep them in the road
and avoid collisions.

Many Summer drinks are great men,
ace to health and much serious illness has
been traced directly to their use.
Doctors are now advising the use of
homemade root beer as a safe drink for
the whole family.
When it is made from Williams Root
Beer Extract, which contains thegenuine
roots and herbs, it is not only the most
refreshing beverage, but it also serves as
an excellent tonic, keeping the blood
cool, and helping the stomach to asslmil-
ate food. H#.s..
AS one bottle of Williams Extract
makes five gallons of delicious Root Beer
the cost is so trifing that anyone can
afford to drink it.

Nutritious Birds.

The flesh of birds differs in quality
according to the food on which they
live. Such as feed upon grain and
berries afford in general good nour-
ishment, if we except geese and
ducks, whose flesh is hard of diges-
tion. A young chicken is tender and
delicate food and extremely we'll
adapted for use when the digestive
powers are weak. Of all tame fowls
the capon is the most nutritious.
Turkey and guinea fowls afford sub.
stantial aliment, but are not as well
come to the stomach as to the palate.
In oil birds those parts are most firm
which are most exercised; therefore,
the wings and in the larger birds the
legs are commonly the toughest. The
flesh of wild birds in general, though
more, digestible, is less nourishing
than that of quadrupeds, being dryer
on account of the constant exercise
which birds take. Those birds which
subsist upon worms, insects or fishes
do not furnish wholesome food

yyhew. What r Yarn.

PerhaDS the most remarkable story
of imitation in monkeys IS told by
Doctor E. Percival Wright, the profess
sor Of botany in Dublin University.
According to him, when Lord Howe
was in command of the Rock OF CID
raltar, the monkeys were much more
common than at present. and were
50 tame that they allowed tile soldiers
to approach them without fear.
One day q number Of the men went
out fishing, anchorins their bost quite
near the shore, hut in the midst or
their snort the roll was heard.
The anchor was hauled up and hast
;lv rowing ashore, they left the boat
uDou the beach, and hurried 10 the
fort. ..
No sooner lad they gone than sew
eral large monkeys that had been
watching the proceedings with great
interest ran to the boat and showed 1t
off. and began throwing over the fish
ing lines, hauling them i'll as they had
seen the men 90.
This they kept UP until. becoming
tired. they pulled the boat in Shore
where the soldiers found her, wonder
ing at their disturbed lines. until the
facts were explained to them by an
officer 6f the guards who had Deeh

ceeding.-Navcri"y Magazine.

of their moisture, so that by the time
they reach the valley all humidity has
disappeared. and no living thing can
survive the intense heat. Even Dlrus'
indigenous to the region, die.
1t is in the months of greatest heat
that the sand storms Of Death Valley
are most deadly. Then rage with in

During the heated term an hour
without water means death. Meat be-
comes putrid, in an hour. Eggs are
cooked in the blistering sand. Water
is only palatable by means of large po-
rous earthenware jars, common to MI
hot countries, suspended i'll drafts and
reduced in temperature by means of
the rapid evaporation of the moisture
from the outside.

deadly heat burns every vestige OF

plant that flourishes under the most
arid conditions, here barely survives

solution. The liquor is then drawn off
into tanks, where the boraX in crystal
lizing attaches itself to small steel
rods and hooks altogether like great
sticks of rock candy. The sediment
contained in the mixing tanks is COM
posch largely of sand and dirt with
considerable boraX mixed. The de-
post is passed through a filter press,
which presses the dirt and allows the
borax liquor to pass away to be util-
lied again. Repeated over and over
again, the last remnant of borax is
finally secured by this process.

Where the oyster OF late

Gotten up by the ladies in churches,
Now the strawberries reu

And the spoon on the lip ofte:: perches.
On the side there's ice cream,
Always held in esteem.
In all seasons and all sorts of weather.;
And it long has been known -
Cream or berries alone
Can be eaten or mixed up together.
There the strawberry girl :,
Sets male hearts in whirl!
By the way she accepts invitations;
Promptly forward she goes
When she's asked to dispose
Of share of the dainty collatlons. o.
When one saucer is gone y.
There's another brought on.
For she says she is so fond OF berries;
She may take three or four,
And perhaps few more,
For her yearning at times slightly Vsrles'
WilIshe try some ice cream?
Then her eyes fairly beam
With delight and She's quickly consenting
Five more times she'll indulge, -
While the chappie's eyes bulge, =
And his folly he's sadly repentlng. -,
Then the young man so rash
Quickly hands out the cash,
And at once for:the exit he searches.

It is all for the go4d of the churches. :. \

CHAPTER xxx.
"LovE's YOUNG DREAM"


"Well, I never believed it, and
couldn't now if I hadn't seen it," ex-
claimed Mrs. Travers, "but this is
certainly convincing evidence that ii
really does sometimes happen"
"What are you talking about, Nell?'
asked her husband. "What is it that
sometimes happens? Perhaps you
don't know that you ere just O little
more incoherent than usual. What is
the particular thing you never be-
lieved in before?"
"Why, love at first sight, of course
and there is q case of it, enough to
convince the most skeptical." And,
with asweeping wave of her hand, she
indicated Dolores and Lord Harold
Moray, who were just disappearing in
the distance through an avenue oi
rose trees and odorous Towering
shrubs, all in full bloom, though il
was already the first week in October.
cit is certainly not more than fort
night since I presented those two tc
each other, although, as Dolores has
since told me, they had met before fol
one feeting moment, and in that mo-
ment they evidently lost their hearts
to each other. The very instant they
met here, I saw in the first glance
that they were already deep in love
with each other"
'How provoking" laughed Travers.
"And you had set your heart on max

|Death Valley and
! Its Burax Mines.

Death Valley is probably the most
unique natural feature in California.
It is located in the southeast corner tt
Incyo County, and is inclosed by the
Panamint Mountains On the west ana
the Funeral Range on the east. 1t Is
seventy-fve miles long, and at its mar
rowest point but eigh. miles wide.
At one time, most probably, it.was
the bed of an ancient river. The low
est depression is 200 feet below, sea-
level, but above this rises Telescope
Peak, 11,000 feet high, of the Pana-
mint Range, and dir 'ctely opposite the
Funeral Peak, which reaches an alti-
tude Of 5000 feet. During the winter
these peaks are covered with snow.
