A DARING EXPLORER.
W. Stamps Cherry Returns from tile
Wiids Of Africa.

wiids OF Africa.
Explorer w. Stamps Cherry has re-
turned to his home In Chicago after a
three years exploring expedition in
Africa. Unaccompanied by any other
white man, Mr.. Cherry penetrated into
regions along the Upper Mobangui
river never visited by Livingstone or
Stanley. Here among the tribes OF the
Oar Band. Oar Ferti and Oar Rungas
he adopted the native mode Of life and
lived as the subject of the great chiefs
OF those countries. He learned the
native language, and as he was re-
garded as a superior sort Of being b.
came an adviser of the leaders. While
he had many thrilling adventures and
his life was sometimes endangered by
the caprices Of the people among whom
he Travelled. they were generally very
kind when they learned that his mis-
sion was a peaceable one.
THE customs of the natives are
strange" said Mr.. Cherry, but their
intelligence and justice in many re-
spects would surprise people who have
gained their idea OF the African neg.o
of the interior from the statements of
many so-called explorers. h were
only trying to throw a glamour around
their own achievements. AS a rule,
the people are as generous and tender
hearted as we are. and love Justice as
we'll. There are barbarous and cruel
people among them, but do not think
there Is a larger class OF thai KIND
than among any other race or nation
atty"
When he FIRST reached the country
of the Jenkkas. as one OF the tribes or
the UNEMPLOYED region Is known, he
was at first regarded timidly and thsn
with curiosity. The natives had never
seen a white man. The people gath
cred around him and with wide open
mouths inspected their strange visitor
commenting quietly on mis- peculiar
characteristics. They were exceeding
ly anxious to know all about him and
whence ne had come. but ~refrained
from any impertience. They felt sure
the white man must be a great CHIEF
of some far off tribe, n were Will
ing to accord hin the respect due one
of high rank.
1.-THE Jenkkas wear no clothes and
have no such ideas of the convention
alities OF life as we do" said Mr..
Cherry, but they are a moral race. The
daughters are sold to the men as
Wives, but the obligations of matri-
nony are very strict. One popularity
of theirs that seems strange to us Is
the fact that the men are the guar

than the exception with many of the
gregarious ~quadrupeds and the larger
birds. Wild geese, for example. act in
so organized and cautious a manner
when feeding or ~roosting, that they
seem to defy all danger. When a flock
has fixed on a neWly-sown grain field

flights before alighting, and the least
suspicious object will drive them away

over the country round about. This
supplementary reconnoltering proving
satisfactory. they begin their feeding,
leaving n sentry On guard. He either
stands ON some elevated part OF the
field or walks slowly with the rest, but
he never ventures to pick up a single
grain while he Is on duty. When the
sentry thinks that he has done his
share Of the watching. he gives the
nearest bird to him a sharp peck, which
that this bird must take up
the sentry duty. II he does not re-
spond promptly the first bird will peck
again, and vigorously, sometimes
pulling ont a bunch OF feathers In the
act, and at the same time uttering a
complaining cry. The signal OF dan
ger among wild geese and swans ia a

seem to have their peculiar signals.

Britain Ii Alarmed.

Close following or the British alarm

Germany over the painful discovery
that we are furnishing the German
people with better shoes than they can
get at home, and for less money.
The German view OF the situation
is that this new competition threatens

A story of the Battlefield.

Boer and an English soldier who lay
wounded side by side on the field of
battle: They had a personal en-
counter in which the soldier received a
bullet wound and the burgher a bay

hausted on the field. The BrNisher

changed friendly greetings. 'Goodby,
