Encounter With Wild Dogs

ONE moonlight night, however, the wild dogs
- made bold, suppose, by hunger, moved in
close that in the silver glow the valley had
ample opportunity to observe their wolfke bodies.
Their ferocious aspect, they 1urked among the
shadows or sprang like gray phantoms of dogs out
into the light, snarling and swapping among them
selves, bore out Fifteen's information that they
were likely to make sudden rush. Our tame
little animal, Christopher Columbus had shrunk
up against brush wall in shivering panic
On no previous occasion had fired from the camp
at night into the providers of the bush; but was
beginning to feel that these wild dogs did not stand
much in of the fire did most of the larger
beasts, and that it time for a shot. Taking care

the leader of the pack, l pulled the trigger The
bullet knocked the wild dog backward, and its

the branches of these were laden with the hanging
wild canaries. All day they sang and chartered,
lending gaiety and music to our march through the
perls of this dark jungle. We were in hurry now,
being anxious to get out of the wilderness before
the donkeys died, and therefore were annoyed by
encountering broken bush and saplrgs that we
could not pass, but had to 60 round In the soft
soil tracks that looked like postholes 1t was
evident that feeding ground of ele-

Early one morning, however, we found ourselves

way down the Sebakwe River. Night being the
time for the calls of most of the jungle dwellers
daylight tramps were likely to be comparatively
uneventful except for the occasional killing of
buck for meat; but one afternoon a hugh python
relieved the monotony OF the tramp The great
snake lay directly across Our path, and showed no
inclination to make way.
Christopher Columbus discovered it first and
approached to within about ten feet of it, barking
furiously He retreated rapidly, however when the
reptile, with general movement throughout its
length, like the starting of train of freght-cars,
and with its head slightly elevated began to glide
in his direction Intent upon this titbit the python
seemed to ignore our presence; but introduced
myself by putting bullet into its head, after
which Fifteen skinned it and got me some oil,

Wee amped that light on a slope near the junction
of the Sebakwe and Umniati Rivers-a pretty spot,
green with grass and surrounded by rugged cliffs,
between which the water flowing gently. A
number of hippos were froicking in the stream,
and some standing in the reeds when
up. Dark spots the surface marked the location
OF crocodlles, and we kept Columbus away from the
water, fearing that he might be nabbed. We built
brush wall usual, and took turns at watching;
but, though the lions growled around US, we had
much more peaceful night than the one Immediately
preceding.
The next morning we struck back into the hilly
country away from the rivers in order that might
examine more of the gold diggings that had lured
me into this wild region. There were plenty of the
workings, grown up with bush. Some were large
excavations-a hundred feet deep at least, and in

Sir Chentung LANG Cheng, the Chi
nese minister, has made himself i'm
mensely popular in Washington society
by disclosing the recipe for the won
derful shoopang or chrysanthemum sal
ad This oriental dish promises to be-
come quite the fad among the Wash
ington Four Hundred, who can afford
to buy the ingredients. Here Is the
recipe as given by the Chinese minis
ter, who is an adept In the preparation
of the salad:
Twenty-four selected hearts OF the
shoopang. or Chinese chrysanthemum;
twelve fish wings" collops from the
flanks Of the moy wen, or sunfish; two
broier chickens, four young pigeons,
lobster outlets from three Holsters;
bake the fish with fayoring Of XII
liong, a spice resembling saffron; broil
the fowl with favorlng Of blood, an
other Chinese herb; then steam all In
gradients together for three-quarters
Of an hour with a strong infusion Of
the woy flower and serve with garnish-
ing Of Chinese greens. The woy flower
may be omitted, as it Is very pungent
and not agreeable to some American
palates, though highly priced by the
Chinese-Philadelp Press.

The movement to unite the Congrega-
tlonal Methodist and Presbyterian
churches Of Canada is now regarded as
substantially complete. The movement
began In 1902. when the three churches
appointed committees to discover what
the differences were between the or
carnations and whether union were
possible. The committees met several
times in Toronto and reported that the
differences were insignificant and that
union was not only possible, but ad-
visabe. The governing bodies of the
churches have met and approved the
action of the committees. The two diff
flculties which confronted the adyo-
Gates Of union were doctrine and
church government. The first was solv-
ed by the adoption to a large degree
of the Congregational practice Of
uniform belief in essentials, but con-
siderable freedom in nonessentials. The
church government will probably be
compromise between the rather auto
cratic system Of the Methodists and
the extreme democracy Of the Congre-
gationallsts along the lines of the Pres
byterian system, but with growing
democratic tendencies. The new organ
ization will be called the United
Church of Canada and will have a
membership Of more than 1,7oO,OOO.-

In speaking Of the alleged decay Of
witty conversation in the present day
In his lecture on "People Have Met"
at Blaenau Festiniog, Mr. Raymond
Blathwayt quoted some instances to
the contrary which had come under his
own personal experience within the
previous few days. One was to this ef-
feet: During his. recent provincial tour
Mr.. Beerbohm Tree was entertained
at a big public luncheon by the lord
mayor of Manchester, when he sat next
to Bishop Weldon, the new dean. Said
DR.. Weldon, "Well, Mr.. Tree, what
have you been doing todayT "Oh,"
replied the famous actor-manager, Il
went for a long motor ride this morn
ing. and lost bet" "Indeed!' an
swered the dean. May | ask what
the bet was?' "Certainly," said Mr..
Tree. "I made a bet that we would
pass through 400 different odors, and
we only encountered 800" "Ah," swift
ly replied the witty dean, "you missed
the odor of sanctity!-Westminster
