WORK OF NOTED EXPLORER
Livinsstone's Geographical Survey
Amounted to More Than His
Preaching In Africa.

Livingstone's field OF geographical
endeavor was the region of the great
lakes of equatorial Africa. His object
was primarily to extend the operations
of the London Missionary society, un-
der whose direction he was working
DR.. Livingstone never wholly relin-
quished his missionary character, al
though in 1857 he resigned from the
society and in his later years in Africa
his geographical explorations amount
ed to much more than his preaching
and his medical service His last
work, after parting from Stanley in
March, 1872, was directed toward the
solution of the Nile problem. After
promising Reconnaissance he essayed
such a detailed survey of the basins
of the Lualaba and the Laupula rivers
as he hoped might establish the wa
tershed between the river systems of
the Congo and the Nile. Before his
work was finished he died. May L,
1873, at Tshitambo's village on the
shore of Lake Bangweolo The deter
mination Of the fountain-head of the
Nile was effected only after sitting out
the results of the observations of
many explorers, and this investigation
was not completed until long after
Livingstone's time. This fountain-head
is the source of a little stream stu
ated just north of 8 deg. s in longi-
tude 20 deg. 80 min. E. at height Of
6,114 feet above the sea, in the north
ern extremity of the mountains bor-
dering the northeast coast of Lake
Tanganyika: this stream becomes the
Ruvuvu river, and that becomes the
Kagera or Alexandra Nile and empties
into Victoria Nyanza on it's west coast.

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion, who pays
proper attention to her health.
INSTRUMENTATION, liverderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
Irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, con-
slant tired feeling---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone up the liver and

and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes

Health.

The body has rights. and we have
duties toward it. The body is the life
long companion of the mind, and it
cannot be unimportant how it is
treated.
One unbridled passion is enough to
destroy the beauty of life One excess,
if it does no more, can mar the grace
and harmony of the whole He that
striveth for the mastery must be tenn
perate in all things"
The duty of wise care for health
is bigger than merely adding to our
personal happiness. To large extent
1t determines the efficiency of our
lives. Many a man learns after it is
too late that he would have been fit
for better and more work If he had
always preserved the sane and sensi-
BILE bearing toward the laws of health
and life which experience teaches.
No one in these days has any excuse
for ignorance of the common prac-
teal rules of health. There are
good many popular books on the sub.
ject,-lIugh Black.
