The roof is upheld by many poles, which are so arranged that they divide the interior into rooms. One of the huts which l entered had two apartments about three feet wide and six feet long, which were used for sleeping. In the center of the hut was a fire, upon which, in an earthen pot, some food was steaming away. There was neither steven or chimney and the smoke filled the hut. It had already turned the walls and roof a deep brown color, so that the whole looked gloomy. un
 derstand that the fire is kept up day and night, as the weather is often damp, and also as new fires are hard to kindle. In many parts of this coun

 and native chopping knife which cost 1000 shells. These shells are very small, but when used by the thousand they are clumsy to handle. Indeed 20,000 of them weigh 70 pounds, and that is all that one man can carry. When l go through the country I shall have to have at least 15 porters to carry every $100 take with me. Seven dollars worth is a good load for man, and 10 cents worth would weigh about as much as 16 of our silver dollars. This makes commerce difficult, and the Germans are trying to introduce a new coinage based on the Indian rupee. The chief trouble is to make the coin small enough. The present issue includes coins known as hellers, of which 100 go to

It is beautifully situated, lying on a moon-shaped bay backed by low hills At the south are grass grown bluffs ending in palisades of granite, which rise straight up from the water to a height of POO feet. Right under these bluffs is the landing place. and it was little outside them that the steam ship Winnifred came to anchor. We were carried to shore in native canoes of won Gerful workmanship.

 We left Entebbe the British capital of Uganda, at a. m. and were all day long steaming off the western shores of Lake Victoria. Our first course was through the Sesee Islands, about the largest archi- pelago in the lake. They are beautifully wooded on the shores, with grass lands higher up.

in Keweenaw Bay, the occasion being
in honor of the marriage of Miss Har.

on the above day, to Wallace LaFern-

the Giddings homo; where the balance
of the day was spent in general re-

Both of the contracting parties are
well known residents of this place, a
fact which was made manifest by the
abundance of beautiful and costly gifts
which were presented at that time.

IN A PITIFUL PLIGHT.
Sad Story OF Keweenaw Fay Lad Who
is Picked Up En- Route to Cop.
per Country in Search
OF Parent.

Unable longer to bear the loneliness
of his deserted home, and seeking &
father whom he had not seen for Sin
long years, Joseph Matson, after walk
ing eight miles from Keweenaw Bay to
Chassell, was picked up there Sunday ev-
ening last by Deputy Thomas Madden
and taken to Houghton, where he found
shelter and food in the county Jail.
The lad is but fifteen years old, and
is bright little fellow. He is of Pol
ish extraction, but speaks English well.
He declares that his father left their
home at Keweenaw Bay six years ago
and has not since been heard from. al
though it is believed he is in the neigh
borhood of Houghton.
A few days previous the boys sister,
with whom he made his home, left for
visit at Centennial. The youngster
stood the solitude as long as he could
and then set out on foot to find his
father or his sister. He was almost
overcome with fatigue and hunger when
he reached Chassell where he was
found by Mr.. Madden, who took him on
TO Houghton.
Every effort is being made to locate
the relatives of the lad. In the mean
time he is being made as comfortable
as possible in the county prison.
