MYSTERIOUS AFRICAN MINES.
Long Abandoned Shafts That Have In-
 terested Many Antiquarian

Besides the reefs which have been discovered on the coast there exists in Rhodesia an enormous quantity of "old workings. mines which were worked in ancient times, but have long since been abandoned. By whom these mines were worked will probably remain forever a mystery From old pottery and tools which have been found it is evident that these old workings were exca- vated by or under the direction of men of knowledge and intelligence su- perior to those possessed by the present inhabitants of the country. Gold was extracted from these mines by smelt5 ing, many furnaces having been found. and alongside of them ancient molds in which ingots were cast. Several ruins have also been discovered in Rhodesia the magnitude and workmanship of which prove that men of superior civilization either inhabitated or else occupied this part of the world few thousand years before us. To them are probably due the ancient workings WuASu nave peSH louHu. " 4eu luS primitive instruments at their com mand these miners of a past age were only able to scrape the surface of the gold-bearfng reefs. So that the quan= tity of gold which has been taken from the mines hardly affects their value. while they are a precious indication to the prospector and enable him to test the reef below the surface, and, as a rule, the site of most of these old work figs seems to have been selected by competent men, who chose the richest lRefs.

NAMES OF DAYS.
Have Curious Derivations Which Few
 People Know.

Last night I was at a stag dinner where the company at large was asked rom what source the days of the week derlyed their names, and only one man out of the twelve present could answer the question, and he was the man who asked it. and he was one day wrong at that, for Eve since looked the matfar up. Sunday and Monday are simple enough, and in themselves suggest their derivation from the sun and moon, but with Tuesday We come 10 the ancient gods of our forefathers. the Engels, that hardy race that. displayed the Brlton and gave their name to the Ehgl1Sn people. Tuesday was named Tor Wi, their god of death; Wednes- day for Odin, Woden or Wotan. who occupies in their mythology a position analogous to that of Jupiter on Mt Olympus; Thursday for Thor, the god or air and storm and rain; Friday for Ffela or Freya, the god of peace. and Saturday possibly for Saeterr, an ob- scure god of their mythology, but more probably it takes it's name for Saturn
 It would seem as though almost any one you would ask would know the derivation of these words of daily use. but I'll wager that not one person ont of hundred can tell them correctly. It's like the surprise the Bible gives one not familiar with it, by the idioms and phrases they will come across when reading it's pages, that are fami- liar and eolloquia1 in the language they use, but which are uttered without the slightest knowledge of whence they came on the part of either speaker or listener.-New York Tribune.

An Interesting Yoman.

An interesting woman has just died in Russia. Irena Fedossova was one or tho last of those professional story tellers who, before the spread of edu- cation, were very numerous in the east. She was quite iHiterata, but her memory was so phenomenal tho. she ceuld reeite over 10000 lines of heroic and legendary poetry. She was fre- quently in St. Petersburg, and was often invited to the palaces of the Imperial family and nobility to give recitations. In summer she wandered from town to village, and had never been absent from the famous fair of Nishni Noygorod for sixty years.

.4ife In Portuguese Colonies Much Lihe
 It Was 300 Years Age.

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 Gama and his bold successors left them. Tn the years report Of our consul for Angola these Portuguese peculiarities stand out strongly. Thus, from Loanda, the capital, to Cape Town, is about 1, ,S60 miles, and the journey should take about six days. What actually hap pens is this: You first take trip of 5000 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 Iu short, 7S00 miles have to be trav- ~eIed to cover distance of 1,600 miles. 4 letter between Cape Town and Lo- anda takes about two months Here is picture of. what trades mean in the favored region of Cabinda bay, where there is a single trader, who occupies a house of three rooms, with a shop of 20 by 8 feet attached. The place is stocked with puncheons 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. Gl., ana when the trader at last makes his ap- pearance there is noisy crowd Of ker- nel-sellers and thirsty hangers-on. The exchange of rum for kernels is quick ly effected, and by in the morning the entire population may be seen ly- ing under the shelter of the coeoanut palms, either stupidly drunk, or noisily quarreling. On a good" day, which is often enough Sunday the trader at Cabinda bay gets rid of about 190 gall Ions of rum. And he ayers that the scene described is repeated every day lin the year. Next to rum and sscivili- Agation," 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 municant has . separate vessel from which to partake of the sacramental wine. It is true there are labor ar engagements which look uncommonly like slavery-but then. so there are in Rhodesia, and some are gleefull' an ticipatfng the time when Johannesburg will be better.-London Leader,

 The Scent Cure.
 Interesting experiments with the #odors of herbs have from time to time been made, and 1t has been found that many species of microbes are easily destroyed by various ksmells. The odor of cloves has beer $ known to destroy microbes in thirty @iive minutes; cinnamon will kill some species in thirty-fve minutes; g thyme in thirty-five. In forty-five E ndnutes common wild verbena is #lound effective while the odor of #anint has destroyed various forms of #mlerobes in ffty-iye minutes and it recorded as the most effective of all $ odors as an antiseptic. It is now be- #ileyed that herbs which have been #fonnd n Egyptian mummies ~ere placed on the bodies more for their
