OPENING DARKEST AFRICA.
Congo Free State Is Being
Rapidly Developed. ;

The Congo Free State contains about
800, 900 square miles of territory and a
population variously estimated at from
twenty to thirty millions. In favor OF
the government it may be said that,
along commercial lines. the state IS be-
ing greatly developed, an important
step In this direction being the suppress
sion OF the Arab slave trade. The
capital of the State is Bona, a city OF
several thousand people. situated
forty-1ve miles from the mouth of the
Congo River. Just below h first
great rapids. an impossible barrier to
ocean vessels, is located Matadi, a city
of about 5000 people. and the point
from which is shipped most of the rub
Der and ivory brought down from the
interior. From this city a railroad ex-
tends 240 miles to Leopoldville, from
which point the river is navigable for
900 miles to Stanley Falls. From Stan
ley Falls to Lake Tanganyika, a dis
tance of over 700 miles, a railroad is
being constructed which will connect
ultimately with the Cape to Cairo
road, thus opening VI a vast district,
and furnishing much needed additional
transportation facilities for the enor-
nous lumber and mining interests OF
the state.-Leslie's Weekly

Recently i was in a greatly perturbed
state of mind. l was running for a
Milwaukee train at the Chicago Union
station. and ] feared I was late.
In an agony of suspense and mental
anguish, with protruding eyes and
gaping mouth, / labored on with what

with heavy grips.
While I was thus suffering and max

casual observer, l suddenly saw a face
Ia placid common face-but 1t bore a
message of courage and hope for me.
1t made me ashamed, instantly. that I
was perturbed or anguished in spirit
over so small a thing as the prospect
of missing a train.
My features relaxed; my eyes re-
turned to the vicinity If their sockets;
my mouth came shut like a steel trap
whose spring has suddenly been re-
leased. Calm entered my spirit; my
pace slackened.

Union station clock, and It told me /

THE MAN OF FASHION.
He Wears Pink Silk Paiamas,
Decorated with Ribbons.

In the American Magazine Upton
Sinclair presents 1.-THE Metropolis a
story which reveals the extravagant
and fantastic life of the super-rich in
and about New York City. Following
is a passage which shows an idle man
of fashion at home:
Reggie received them in a pair Of
pink silk pajamas, decorated with rib
bons and bows, and with silk-em-
%broidered slippers set with pearl-a
present from a feminine adorer. Mon
tague noticed, to his dismay, that the
little man wore a bracelet upon one
arm. He explained that he had led a
cotillion the night before-or, rather,
this morning; he had got home at five
o'clock. He looked quite white and
tired, and there were the remains of a
breakfast of brandy and soda on the
table.

And he turned to his dressing table,
which was covered with an array of
cosmetics and perfumes, Inc proceed
ed, in a matter-of-fact way, to paint
his face. Meanwhile his valet was fit
ting silently here and there, getting
ready his afternoon costume; and Mon
tague, in spite of himself, followed
the mar with his eyes. A haber-
dasher's shop might have been kept
going for quite a while upon the on
tents of Reggie's dressers. His cloth
ing was kept in a room adjoining the
dressing-room; Montague, who was
near the door, could see the rosewood
w~ardrobes, each devoted to a separate
article of clothing-shirts, for instance,
aid upon sliding racks, tier upon tier
of them. of every material and color.
There was a closet with shelves
and equipped like a shoe store-high
shoes and low shoes, black ones, brown
mes and white ones. and each fitted
over q last to keep it's shape perfect.
These shoes were all made to order ac-
cording to Reggie's designs. and three
or four times a year there was a clean

of fashion became the prey of his
IMAM" There was a safe in one closet,
in which Reggie's jewellery was kept.
THE dressing room was furnished
like a lady's boudoir, the furniture up
holstered with exquisite embroidered
silk, and the bed hung with curtains
of the same material. There was n
large bunch of roses on the centre
table, and the odor of roses hung heavy
in the room. The valet stood at atten-
ton with a rack of neclSties, from
which Reggie critically selected one to

HIGH FLYING CLOUDS.
Study HasAttracted Many
Observers in Recent Years.

The science of clouds has attracted
many devotees within the past few
years and photography has greatly as
sisted in advancing it. Clouds. like
stars, become far more interesting to
the non-scientinc observer of nature
when he knows the names attached to
them.
While the grandest and most impos-
ing form of cloud is the domed and
pinnacled cumulus, which frequently
accompanies thunder storms, the most
beautiful Is the feathery cirrus. Cirrus
clouds sometimes exist at enormous
elevations.
While their mean height is about 10
900 feet-the height of Mount Everest

ton Of $4,000 feet. or more than nine
