After it, what he terms the boring in to the interior began. Thirtyâ€"two months after leaving Great Britain he reached the savâ€" age town of Benguella, 1,000 miles from the coast. There he lived with the great King Mushidi, whose rise to power and the misuse of that power he graphically describes. He helped to establish the mission staâ€" tion at Luanza, built on a cliff overâ€" hanging the Great White Lake. Here, with unfailing success he preached the Gospel to the utterâ€" most parts of Africa, drawing the natives to him from far distant places. His interpretation _ of _ native modes of thought, of native cusâ€" toms, native secret processes is something entirely new in social discoveries. He has much to say on the subject of the tendency to deâ€" gradation in the white man who finds himself isolated in the jungle. One white woman he found, a Porâ€" tuguese, the queen of an African Nero. He became awaro of a seâ€" oret society which flourishes in Central Africa. It is a sacred inâ€" stitution with hidden rites and ceremonies. Its purpose is to keep husbands in subjection. This is hnrd*klg the idea which the civilized world has of the placs of woman in ABrics, but as Mr. Orawford says, very mearly everything thero is reâ€" versed asopording to white notions. Spent Twenty Years in the Interior of Dark Africa. Dan Crawford, who is held in England to be the successor to Livâ€" ingston, when a young man. of twenty was threatened with lung trouble and wiaas ordered to Africa. It was in 1889 that he first saw the coast of Africa slipping past under the port rails of a big steamer as she rolled to the long combers of the Atlantic. He landed, believing that he had come for‘ a brief soâ€" journ. As a matter of fact he was not to return for twenty years.

The Tablets are sold by medicine dealâ€" ers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams‘ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. This doctrine of responsibility is a very comfortable one to a foreigner when he is traveling through the country. \The innkeepers where he lodges take the greatest care of him while he is under their roof, lest they be called to account for any injury done to him or his property. On one occasion a certain Boniface pursued a guest, who left early in the morning, for miles along the road, with some article that he had left behind him. The innkeeper was panting and perspiring when he got up with the traveler, and the latter was greatly amused when‘the innkeeper, with a pleased and virâ€" tuous look, handed him an empty matchâ€"box. SUMMER COMPLAINTS KILL LITTLE ONES Two men were gambling in an obscure part of the town, in a room hidden away from observation. A dispute aroso over the game; it ended in a fight, and one of them got a fatal stab. It was two o‘clock in the morning when the incident took place. The whole city was asleep, and the Tipao, the head man of the ward, and his family were in bed, so that he was entirely unâ€" aware of what was going on.â€" His protestations that he knew nothing of the matter were received with a sneer, and with the remark, ‘‘Well, then, you ought to have known.”_ ‘‘Never mind how,""‘ was the offiâ€" cial answer ; "‘that is your business. The ward is in your charge, and you are the responsible person to look after it."" & With that he was thrown upon his face, and a couple of sturdy lictors who had been looking at him with hungry and expectant eyes proâ€" ceeded to administer with their bamboos a lesson in the art of rulâ€" ing a ward that would keep him in a recumbent posture for at least a week to come. In Chira the Head Man Is Held Responsible for Good Order. After you have lived in China for some time and studied its instituâ€" tions, the one thought that. strikes you is the feeling of responsibility that pervades every phase of Chinâ€" ese life. Mr. John Macgowan, a missionary in China for fifty years, tells in ‘‘Men and Manners of Modâ€" ern China‘‘ how this sense of perâ€" sonal responsibility makes useless the ordinary excuses that weigh with European or American: Too many peogle want to monkey with other folks‘ buzz saws. ‘"‘But how could I?‘ he modestly replied. s 8 \ K A SECOND LIVINGSTON.

In a short time the palpitation, bad feeling in head and body began to disappear and the improvement has continued until at the present time I find myself in better health than I have ever enjoyed. ‘‘There‘s a Reason,‘"‘ and it is explained in the little book, "‘The Road to Wellville,"" in pkgs.

Finally, nothing that I ate seemed to agree with my stomach, and life, at times, did not seem worth living.

Some fellows never propose beâ€" cause the girl doesn‘t stop long enough to give them a chance: The soil is a resource of priceless value. Its formation on rocks is exâ€" ceedingly slow. According to Prof. J. Bowman, many glacial scratches that were made on rock during the last glacial period, between 60,000 and 75,000 years ago, are still as fresh as if they had been made only yesterday. Yet, since the glacters thus recorded themselves, man has come up from the cave and the stoneâ€"hammer. _ Seventy thousand years is a very short time for the development of a soil cover; for man it means a period so great that the mind can hardly grasp it. The cutting off of the trees exposes the soil so that the rain beats upon it, and since it has lost the protection that the roots and the litter on the ground afforded, the soil is soon washed away. In fifty years a sinâ€" gle lumber merchant can deprive the race of soil that required 10,000 years to form. Wylerâ€"Lend me a dollar, old chap. If I live until Saturday I‘ll pay you.
