Ludicrous Account
Of the Appearance
of the Great Bird

the majesty Of his corpulence and his
Quietude. For long hours, on the banks
of free channels Of water, protected by
hill of ice, he gravely digests the in
Vulnerable schizopods with which he
mas filled his paunch, and as he has
TO enemy and nobody dares to attack
his obese majesty, he cares not what
goes on about him. We were much
Inundated by the extraordinary dis
dain with which he saw us approach.
He did not even take the trouble to
look at us, and our touch was respond
ed to only by contemptuous pecks. But
the scene changed when we attempted
to seize him; he distributed blows free
ly with his great wings, and it was a
hard job to overpower him. He was
marched away slowly over the ice,
placing one foot reluctantly before the
other. His great body oscillated at
each step; his head, sunk on his shout
ders, followed the movement, while his
tail traced mark in the snow. Seen
from behind, while he walked thus on
mis- short legs, which were scarcely Wis.
ible under his fat body, he could easily
have been taken for very feeble, fat
old gentleman.

Missionary Notes
Evidence OF
Improvement Mode

mon few years ago. The large num-
Der OF slaves killed at the death of a
ruler for the purpose of accompanying
the latter into the land of Nzambi, the
African heaven, as practice, has been
discontinued. 1t has been shown, the
speaker declared, that the savage mu-
steal instincts Of the natives were
capable of being developed into a love
for the hymns Of the civilized world.
But, as whole Mr.. Cowley said, the
people had not yet attained a very
high standard of culture. They still
buy and sell their wives, of whom they
make slaves Therefore, mans
wealth and affluence is measured by
the number of women slaves he can
afford. All the land that is cultivated,
he said, is taken care of by the women,
with small hoe, horses and cattle be-
ing unknown as beasts of burden.
Chickens, ducks, goats and hogs are
raised to some extent. A small ant,
which is SO numerous as to be con-
sidered pests by civilized persons, and
locusts form the staple diet. These
ants will entirely DESTROY house built
of wood by eating the logs and rafters.
and will eat pair of shoes in a single
night if the leather Is left touching the
ground. The insects first cover the
shoes with earth and then devour the
leather.

PROGRESS
II, Africa

Rev. ]. N. Cowley, missionary to
the Congo Free State, Africa, talking
on the condition existing in the dark
continent. recited some interesting
facts showing the uncivilized state of
the natives, and exhibited articles
made and used by them in war and in
peace. He showed the scant clothing
worn by the high officers of the tribes,
made from grass, woven by the wom-
en-. The implements of warfare, the
principal weapons used, were made of
iron, one Of them having a handle of
ivory. This, Mr.. Cowley said, required
the greatest amount of skill. The iron
ore is taken from the hills, melted in
pit in the ground. from which a small
trench leads out through which the
metal runs when melted. Then it is
beaten into the shape desired with
stones. These articles gave evidence
OF intelligence, the speaker thought,
sufficient for nucleus on which to
base the belief that by training the bar
barians could be changed into a civ
ilized people.
He had noted some vast improve
ments since the beginning of mission
airy work in that part of the country.
There was not a man in the entire
Congo Free State now, be said, who
would admit that he would eat human

Where Ignorance Is Bliss.

Where Ignorance Is Bliss.
An American art student, confined to
the care of friend in Paris, arrived
at his destination in the evening, and
meeting some difficulty in finding the
address, was late in reaching the lat
ter's apartments. After long journey,
being hungry as we'll as tired, he asked
to be directed to the nearest restaurant,
preferably to one of the many Duval
establishments of which he had so
often heard. His friend accompanied
him to the Duval place of the neighbor-
hood, reaching the door just as it was
about to be closed. At that hour of
the night there were no substantial
viands to be had, except a certain
ragout au Quelquechose. which the
young student accepted as Hobson's
choice. To his satisfaction, he found
his supper very appetizfng, and, with a
glass of good red wine, he enjoyed the
meal heartily; the more as the charge,

6he Value Of
Fruit as a Tonic

The curative value of fruit is becom-
ing more and more insisted upon by
those who make study of dietetics.
Grapes are recommended for the dys-
peptic, the consumptive, the anamic,
and for those with tendency to govt
and liver troubles. Plums, also, are
said to be a cure for equity and rheu-
matte tendencies. The acid fruits, es-
pecially lemons and oranges, are par
ticularly good for stomach troubles and
rheumatism.
1t is not sufficient, say the advocates
of the fruit cure, to eat small guam
tity at breakfast or dinner. One should
eat from two to eight pounds of grapes
a day, or. if oranges are the curative
agency. the number to be eaten in a
day may vary from three to six.
A healthy condition of the body de-
ponds upon perfect balance of foods
taken. There are many other factors
entering into the question. but this
feature must not be forgotten. Few
