WORK OF NOTED EXPLORER
LivIngstone's Geographical Survey Amounted tc More Than His
 Preaching in Africa.

Livingstone's field of geographical endeavof was the region of the great lakes of equatorial Africa His object vas 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 rarting from Stanley in March, 1872. was directed toward the solution of the Nile problem. After promising reconnoissances he essayed such detailed survey Of the basins of the Lualaba and the Laupula rivers as he hoped might establish the wa tershed between the river systems Oi the Congo and the Nile. Before his work was finished he died. May |. 1873, at Tshitambo's village on tho shore of Lake Bangweoio. The deter imitation 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 litt'e stream situ- ated just north of , deg s. in iongi- tude 29 deg 30 min.

If ecarte is to be held responsible for Thackerays appearance as an au- thor. his erratic methods of work contributed equally to his early death. He wrote invariably with the printers devil in attendance.

ExPI. .nRINc BARKING ABBEY
Workmen Excavating for New Street Find Subterranean Passage Lead
 Ing From old Edifice.

In the course of excavations for a new street at Barking subterrancan passage was discovered which had evidently led from the old abbey.
 A workman. while digging at depth of ten feet, drove his pick into some soft stonework, and after the subsequent collapse of earth the pas sage was revealed. It was found that the pick had been driven through the arched ceiling of stone-built passage some eight feet six inches high and about six feet wide. Exploring par ties have investigated the interior by the aid of candle light. The walls were found to be damp and clammy and the floor was covered with a thick carpet of spongy substance. into which the feet sank slightly. For distance of nearly 20 yards the pas sage Is clear, and at either end of this stretch fl is blocked in one case by fall of earth and in the other case, presumably. by the character of the structure itself Two smaller pas sages turn of the first passage. and in one of the side turnings there were found half dozen human skulls and a quantity of bones. Among the lat ter is a number of jaw bones of horses or other large animals. All the bones and skulls are charred. and the walls of the passage also show traces Of fire
 The Abbey of Barking Is reported to have been built in A. D. 679 by Erkenwald. who afterwards became Bishop of London, and whose sister Ethelberga became first abbess at Barking. It was the first nunnery es- tablished in this country. In A. D. S70 the Danes destroyed 1t by fire. and it lay desolate for a century until re- stored by King Edgar. Many mem- bers of royal families were among its abbesses. From the fact that the main passage runs in the direction Of Barking creek, a short distance away, it is believed to have afforded chan mel of communication from the abbey to the waterway and thence to the Thames.--Lcndous Standard.

Brinkley People Should Not Wait Until It's Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually ne- glected until they become ser lous. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint.
 If you suffer from backache, headache, dizzy spells; if the kidney secretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in ap- pearance, do not delay. Help the kidneys at once.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are es- pecially for kidney disorders they cure where others fail. Over one hundred thousand peo- pie have recommended them. Here's a case at home:

Art Lead. I.nsu.o. and Science.


 Tn. fact is that art Is working far ahead ot language as well as of scl- ence realizing for us. by All manner of suggestions and exaggerat'ons. effects for which az yet we have no name; nay, for which we may never perhaps have direct name. for the reason that these effects do not enter very largely into ths necessities of life. Hence alone is that suspicion Of yagueness that often hargs about the purpose ot romance. II Is clear enough to us fin thought: but we are not used to con sider anything clear until we are able fo formulate it in words. and analytical language has not been sufficiently shaped to that end. E. It Is not that there is anything blurred or indefinite in the impression left with us. 1t Ia just because the impression is so very definite after its own kind, that we flnd 1t hard to fit 1t exactly with the expressions of our philosophical speacii-Robert Louis Stevenson.

 The melancholy days have

 woods, And meadows brown and scar. /" So said the poet, so say l, In accents sad and drear, You want to know the reason
 why? Thanksgiving time is here. Pm proud 1 am a turkey, And 1 wont go back on that; But I would like some one to
 tell me Why it is a fact,
 Those silly guineas, geese and
 ducks And hens are left in peace, While I, the monarch of the
 yard, Am chosen for the feast. Heaped in the hollows of my
 coop, The yellow corn is spread. Tho tempted sore, 1 pass 1t
 by, With high and naughty tread. Full well I know the farmer
 grim Who scatters it about,
 Is watching me in hopes that 1 Am getting very stout.
 So therefore 1 refuse to eat; For when went to school To old Professor Turkey. He taught us all this rule: Beware ye of the fiatterer; He has an ax to grind. " So when the farmers sly see This thought comes to my mind. But what's the use to whine
 and fret? This fiatter's ax is ground. simply can't escape from
 death, It stares me all around.
 For which is worse? To starve
 to death, Or peacefully to die
 A sudden death upon the
 block? The latter course choose 1.

longer rae would not be possible, as
the mechanic is needed to keep up the
compression on the gas, etc. This cons
dition will add a spice Of excitement
to the race, as the cars will have a
tendency to go wide on the turns. This
may be somewhat offset by the fact
that the driving wheels of both cars
are on the left. The heats will all be

race viii be for $500. There will be
eight other good events on the card
