An article In the London Graphic
says terror is the key to the admins
tration of the Congo Free State and
gives a definition of the administration
of this dark region in darkest Africa
I'm nutshell the Congo administra-
ton is this: The farming out of gov
eminent taxation to commercial mo-
nopolies to which the right of their
claim is conceded, and the enforcing OF
an ever increasing tax from the people,
from which the government itself
draws so per cent. of the profits. The
white agents carrying out this system
are permitted by the government to
employ large bands of levies' or SEN
tries and also arm the 'irregulars.'
These companies have also the right of
contrait de corps, or the capturing and
holding of hostages until the demand
of rubber is satisfactory. These armed
sentries carry out the captures and
bring In to the white man the hostages.
| The raids for these hostages are sell
dom free from bloodshed and are often
accompanied by nameless tortures on
the defenseless people"
When we understand that the sem
tries and levies and irreguiars are ma
tives of the country. perhaps as de-
graded and cruel a people as 1t Is pos
sible to find on this earth. we realize
something of what 1t means to put this
power into their hands, to put these

A DESPERATE CLIMB
how TWO MEN SAVED A TRAIN
FROM DESTRUCTION.
Braved Death That They Might Pre-
vent Terrible Catastrophe in Ire
land--Arrived Just in the
Nick Of Time.

Near Bray Head, in Dublin, the
train runs along a precipitous cliff
from Bray to Wicklow. This is an
extremely dangerous part of the line,
as the track curves on emerging from
the tunnel, and were there any OBJ
stacle in the way, the train would not
have time to stop before being hurled
into the sea about 40 or so feet be-
low. Only about three feet lies be-
tween the edge of the cliff and train.
Is it wonder that people feel ner-
vous when the train reaches this spot,
and breathe a sigh of relief when the
danger Is past?
From the railway the precipice
again rises about $50 feet, and on top
of this is walk. Two gentlemen
and their mother were one day stroll
ing along this walk, engaged in con-
versation. 1t was just about time for
the train to pass. and they were wait
ing to have a view of it winding like
a serpent halfway down the cliff.
A railing was being erected along
the edge of the cliff, and number
of iron bars were lying about One
of the gentlemen, in moving, hit one
of them by accident with his foot,
when, to his horror. it slipped over
the edge and went sliding down the
cliff. They watched it for moment
of GREATNESS anxiety, hoping 1t would
continue its Journey into the sea. To
their horror it stopped, and lay right
across the line At this moment the
sound of shrill whistle, as the train
entered the tunnel, reached the ears
of the party.
For moment the gentlemen stood
in horrible perplexity. To go down
that precipice seemed certain destruc-

DIR. G. w. Brandenburg. Of the New
York Medical college, declares that he
regularly prescribes humorous books
to a certain class of patients. When
he was student in Ohio some 30 years
ago he was roommate with John M.
Pattison, now governor of that state.
The latter. law student, was III and
blue one night and the doctor says:

him and he laughed himself well.
Laughter is one of the best, most nat
ural forms of exercise know of. The
idea that side-splitting laughter may

think that granulation might be gently

have gas holder of sufficient buoyancy
to overcome 95 per cent. of the earth
gravity on the machine and whatever

thing should happen to the engine which
operates the wings (these wings being
at once filters and propellers) the 95
per cent. of resistance inherent In the
gas would allow the machine to settle

an emergency the wings themselves

New York, Feb. 27.-After being
stored three years in the cellar of an
old mansion in College Point, X. L.,
the logs that formed the cabin in
which Abraham Lincoln was born
were removed yesterday to a storage
house in this city. They were the
property of David Greer, New York
builder, who bought them from A
W. bennett. Tie latter owned the
Lincoln farm and the cabin was ia
ken apart aRd sent to Buffalo for ex-
hibition during the Pan American
exhibition. There are over two hun.
dred logs aud a door and one shutter
OF the cabin window, besides some
pieces Of boards.
The logs were purchased recently
BY the Lincoln Farm Association and
will be stored here until the Associ.
alton are ready to build the cabin on
the original site, on the old farm,
near Hodgenyille.
After the logs had been loaded
they were covered with American
flags aud the truck moved away with
every one present standing with un
covered heads. As the truck passed
a public school in College Point, tn,
children assembled and sang the ma
tionsl hymn.
