STRONG SPIRIT IN WEAK BODY
David Livlnsstone's Struggles With
Sickness While He Was Making
His Name Immortal.

In connection with the centennial OF
.ae birth OF David Livingstone, mis-
sionary and African explorer, Sir
Harry II. Johnston writes in the Brit
ish Geographical Journal: During
the winter or rainy season OF 1859
Livingstone was very Ill. He had
been wet, times without number, and
suffered from terrible pains in the
chest, and pneumonia. He was often
semidelirious and subject TO delu-
sions, such as that the bark OF trees
was covered with figures and faces OF
men. He thought often of his chill
dren and friends and his thoughts
seemed almost to conjure them up
before him. For the first time he was
being carried and could not raise him
self to q sitting position. The Arabs
we're very kind to him In his extreme
weakness, but the vertical sun. blister
ing any part of the skin exposed to 1t,
tried him sorely in the day marches.
in July, 1870, his feet were almost
consumed with irritable. eating ulcers,
pulsating with pain. These
sores were obviously communicated by
mosquitoes from the blood Of the
wretched slaves, who were tortured
with them. Livingstone could fall
asleep when he wished at the shortest
notice. A mat. and q shady tree under
which 20 spread 1t, would ut any time
afford him a refreshing sleep. But in
his last years of travel sleep was often
made sad by the realistic dreams o.
happy English life from which he
wakened to find himself iii and con
sumed with anxiety that he might moi
live to complete his mission.
After 1859 he suffered much from
the results of the decay and loss Of
his molar teeth. 30 that imper.sc'
mastication of rough African food in
duced severe dyspepsia and his bod
lily strength weakened under a condi
ton of permanent malnutrition. Stan
ley, by relieving him when he did
gave him at least two more years o.
life. q certain measure of happiness
and tho sweet consolation that he wal
not forgotten and that the magnitude
of his discoveries was appreciated"

When old man Trench learned how
his nephew had outwitted him through
n secret marriage to LEONE at the
time his emissary Thacker was plot
ting to separate them, he wrote an
awful letter to Vane.
In a dignified way the latter in
formed him that the business he had
given him barely made UP for what
he had robbed his father Of. If, how
ever, Trench, Thacker & Co. felt that
they had In any way been circum'
vented. resulting In a loss to their
prospects. Vane would set aside the
profits OF the business he had man
aged to build up wonderfully. and
would restore the original investment
to his money loving relative.
Trench quieted down after this. Az

under the very nose of the old man

crafty schemers all around.
