Another White Space on Congo Map

More than twenty years ago Savor-
gnan de Brazza carried little steam
launch overland between the head
waters of the large Ogowe river and
the upper part of river on the other
side of the divide, a few miles away.
The natives called this stream the ALI
ma. and De Brazza believed 1t was a
tributary4to the Congo and that he
might steam down the Alma to the
upper Congo far above Stanley pool.
His experiment was great success.
He descended the Alma about 400
miles and finally entered the Congo
where the great river is several miles
in width. Then he fioated down that
river 10 Stanley pool. says the New

Meanwhile, Stanley had been labor
iously ascending the Congo, dragging
his supplies around 2S5 miles of
rapids; and when he reached Stanley
pool he was much surprised to find
the French flag floating on its north
ern bank. De Brazza had arrived be-
fore him and was founding the station
of Brazzayille. Ever since that day
large white space has existed ON

Congo. Explorers were too busy else

At least, that Is the happy conclu-

IN Golfers Weekly ON Social Prob

Most girls about to marry, says the
writer, tell each of their girl friends,
In strictest confidence, that they have

All men about to marry swell with
the consciousness that they were born
to boss-and their lives must JUSTIFY

The attitude of the man Is relic

sidered himself the chosen sex, and
woman WAS of different mental and
moral construction from the woman or
today.
The attitude OF the girl Is more
often matter of self-defense. She
makes what she considers deep deduc-
lions from the lives OF married folk
around her and decides that she must
boss or be bossed. She chooses the
former.
Sometimes she Ii very successful

Just cases Of this kind, which go ON
until one boss or the other expires

Then sometimes the girl who would

bossed, whose sole motive and every
means are to make the girl he marries

Hints Concerning Your Canary.
Put slippery elm bark In the drink
Ing vessels
For colds give a canary one drop of
sweet oil at a dose
A bit Of fig or apple, and for one OF
the larger birds live worm, Will
prove tonic.
Taste the bird seed yourself to be
sure 1t Is pure Never use hemp seed.
Be careful to dry thoroughly the
perches after cleaning the cage. Damp
percbes are the chief cause of rheuma-
tlsm.
Never hang the bird out of doors.
Some one Is sure to forget to bring
him In when It grows too hot or too
cool
Thoroughly wash out all the vessels
with hot water every day. The aphae,
the parasite that forms In water left
standing In a cage, is the deadliest
enemy Of a bird life.
If the bird shows signs of general
debility, as moulting out of season,
give him iron In much greater strength
than he can get from a rusty nail In
the water, and counteract the one bad
effect Of iron with sulphur.
Keep the bird out OF draughts. 1t
Is best to hang his cage about FIVE feet
from the floor. If hung higher than
that he will be too warm, for heat
rises, and the hottest place In room

Venezuelan Women.

Venezuelan women are indeed beau
dful. Descended from Spanish and
Indian ancestors, they combine in their
persons the beauty of the two races
and with their lovely faces and grace
full figures make type of feminine
loneliness that Ia unsurpassed. The
Venezuelan woman's complexion Is
clear olive, but her rounded cheeks are
painted by nature with the loveliest
crimson and her beautiful dark eyes
seem to express all the emotions of her
heart. When she smiles her CHEEKY
lips reveal the most perfect OF teeth
and she looks so absolutely bewitching
that you long to see her smile again.
