The True Missionary.

There is a third figure, very different
from either. Kipling has written with
sympathetic insight the story of the
obscure official or non-commissioned
officer in his struggle to beat civiliza-
ton into the savage half devil and
half child The Sergeant What's-Is-
Name" of the mission field has yet to
find his interpreter-or her interpreter,
for the sergeant is just as often a
woman.
Life at an African mission station is
very much the same throughout the
continent. The day begins usually
with the call of the bell at sunrise in
the summer and an hour or two before
that time in the winter, for in the mat
ter of early rising it is the white man
who must adapt himself to the native
habit. After brief sunrise prayer the
boys and girls of the school are mus
tered in the courtyard; they shoulder
their hoes, and it is away to the corn
field or the sweet potato patch. Stand
ing in row at the bottom of the field,
they lift their heavy hoes far above
their heads and bring them down with
force that sends the iron blade far
into the ground, lift them again and
let them fall with rhythmic regularity.
AS they do so they chant in a slow,
heavy monotone, which is their near
est approach to singing, any incidents
in their life that may be uppermost
in their minds-the ripening of the
corn, the marriage OF the chiefs
daughter or any of the happenings of
the day. Sometimes the work lags and
needs the constant impatient She
shani'' Churry) of the white teacher.
The African holds a theory quite the
opposite of Darwin's; he believes that
monkeys were evolved from a race of
lazy people that loafed leaning on the
handles of their hoes, until the useful
implements grew into tails, to the
everlasting shame of the loafers-
Breakfast consists of one of the three
staples, sweet potatoes, squash or corn,
either as mush or on the cob. 1t is
eaten from platters at a bare table
with quick lunch effect, rather test
of discipline, for the native loves to
squat on a straw mat and take his
time about chewing No greater dis
courtesy can be offered a native than
to interrupt his meal. But the school
bell is memorable.

HOW TO DESTROY EXPLOSIVES.
Precautions to Be Taken with Gum
powder and NitrogIycerine.

The best way to destroy ordinary
black gunpowder is to throw it into a
stream under conditions that prevent
any harm coming to human beings or
animals through the dissolving of the
saltpeter If no suitable stream is
available the gunpowder may be
stirred with water in tubs, or the dry
gunpowder may be poured out on the
ground in a long thin line and ignited
with a fuse at one end.
To destroy dynamite cartridges the
paper wrappings should be carefully
removed, the bare cartridges laid in
a row with their ends in contact and
the first cartridge ignited with a fuse
without cap. Even with these pre-
cautions a simultaneous explosion OF
the entire mass may occur, SO that it
is wise to retire to a safe distance.
The row of cartridges should be laid
parallel with the wind and ignited at
the leeward end so that the fame will
be driven away from the mass.
Frozen dynamite should be handled
peculiarly liable to assume an explo-
sive character A small quantity of
dynamite may be destroyed by throw
ing it in very small bits into an open
fire, or the cartridges may be ex-
ploded one by one in the open air
with fuses and caps.
Dynamite should never be thrown
into water, as the nitrOglycerine
which it contains remains undissolved
and capable of doing mischief. Other
explosives which contain nitroglycer-
inc should be treated in the same way
as dynamite.
Ammonium nitrate explosives may
be thrown in small fragments into an
open fire, or if they do not contain
nitroglycerine may be destroyed by
means of water. Explosive caps
should be exploded singly with pieces
of fuse.-Scientific American.

DUST EXPERT IN A WAY.
One Man Who Is Constantly Conscious
of the Presence of Dust in the Air

No matter where you live and how
ever high in the air you always find
dust settling on everything every
where, but" said the near-sighted
man. IF you want to realize this fact
as you never did before you want to
wear spectacles and work at some
employment that requires constant
bending over.
Fourteen times a day, or as much
oftencr as you look, you will find
your glasses covered with fine par
ticles Of dust Maybe you don't look
and then maybe some bigger particle,
some speck that IS by comparison a
verftable bowlder of dust, settles
there square in your line of vision,
where It may not obstruct your sight
but where it cannot fail to arrest your
attention Then when you take them
on to remove that bowlder you find
your glasses covered with dust in
finer particles, as you would find
them, indeed, however often you
might look
Over such an area as that of New
York, for instance, there are tons of
dust floating in the air. as though.
perhaps without figuring out its
weight, many people, such as house
wives and storekeepers, are aware;
but perhaps nobody is reminded of
this so constantly as the man who
wears spectacles and who bends over
at his work, and on whose glasses.

South Africa when no one else dared
venture outside of the white settle
ments, and no one thought of modest
ing him. He was the only man who
had any influence over Moselikatse,
the most bloodthirsty chief in South
Africa
The great Norwegian missionary,
Bishop Schroeder, held a similar posi-
ton in the regard of the fierce Zulu
chief Cetewayo, and it was Schreuder's
presence in the English camp that
gave the natives courage to surrender
themselves to the British when they
had been vanquished in the last Zulu
war in 1870. His house was the only
white mans dwelling that was left
standing in Zululand. The savage
army, drunk with temporary victory,
split in two, one division passed over
the hills to the north of Schreuder's
station, the other over the hills on the
south, for the chiefs knew that in the
frenzy of battle their braves could not
be restrained from destroying what
ever came in their way
Missionary work in most parts of
Africa has lost much of it's spectacular
features. 1t now is mostly a matter
of hard, grinding, monotonous work.
The popular conception of missionaries
includes two figures. One is that of a
spiritual fanatic bent mainly on teach
ing the savages to sing hymns instead
of bowling war songs, the dupe usual
ly of willy savages who feign CONVEX
SION while laughing in their new mis-
sionary Bingham sleeves. The other
is that of a clever self-seeker exploit
ing the childish native to his own ad-
vantage.
