Vacation days are no more well
come to the pupils than to their
teachers. If the little fellows but
knew il, there are many times in the
spring when the end OF school is In
sight, and when they are looking out
the window idly dreaming of the last
day." that their teacher is also fight
ing down a desire to walk out of the
door into the glorious sunshine, out
on to the hill, where the green grass
and fragrant flowers bring forgetful-
ness of the stuffy school room and its
attendant worries. Ana when that
last day does come, the joy which Is
in the heart of the child is equaled
only by the JOY which Is in the heart
of the teacher. Some people who
have eve tried it have an idea that
school teaching is about the easiest
job going. But those who have spent
a year or more in the school room
know that for nerve racking, body
wearing, temper ruffling and all
round exhaustive work, school teach
ing has no second. For that reason
every teacher halls with pleasure the
close of a long term and for that rea-
son the teachers of Lewistown will
try to enjoy themselves during the
present vacation.
Supt. Tootell will spend a few
more months in the school room, hav
ing been employed to teach the Gil
kerson school. but he expects to Sc
cure a rest from the change from the
city TO the country. Mrs. Carrie Z.

A New Mining Country.

Less than thirty years ago equa-
torial Africa was a great terra incog-
nito. From time to time small and
unsatisfactory bits of information
concerning the great unknown inter.
ior has come out from various explor-
ers, among whom were Livingstone,
Grant, Du Challeau, Baker, Spoke,
Gordon and Stanley. To the latter,
who died on the 10th inst, is the
greatest early knowledge of the dark
continent" due. 1t Is a region of
great mountains, great lakes, great
forests, great rivers and great ami
mails. Nature seems to have formed
everything on a gigantic scale. This
vast wilderness is now in a fair way
to be opened to the knowledge of the
world, and possibly become no small
factor commercially. The construc-
ton of railroads is progressing speed.

Darkest Africa" very rapidly. From
the southwark in Rhodesia the miner
is extending his explorations north
ward. On the east coast the tide is
slowly setting westward through
Uganda. and in the Congo state the
recent mineral discoveries promise to
do more than any other thing for the
development Of the country. Thus
far these discoveries are chiefly of
copper ores, but gold is also reported
in paying quantities. Should valuable
gold deposits be discovered and devel.
oped it will settle the country more
quickly than anything else, for the pur.
suit of gold stops neither at Arctic
cold nor tropical heat, and neither
the barren wastes of western deserts,
nor the swamps, jungles and forests
OF Central Africa, offer a material
barrier to the occupation of the coun'
