true that great tracts of country are
barren and no water exists, still by ex
ploitation it lues been proved that
abundant supplies of water can be ob

*In the mist arid part I ever visit, d

water, which i.« carefully htornl for a

country has a more hvaltkfnl climate
than Central Africa. In the interior the
land rifl -s to a high elevation. The
many deaths and sickness among Euro

of life, absence of accustomed food and
go*sl (hx:tors and nursos than from cli

OCCUPATIONS.
’On the shores of Lake Tanganyika
there are at least nine tribes distinctive
in physical characteristics, language and
fashions and weapons, clothing, archi
tecture and domestic life. They are all
exjK-rt fishermen, using seines and traj«s,
and as the lake tn ms with fi.-h their
venturvs are well repaid. Iron and cop
per are smelted for manufacture, but in
the crudest style. Both of these icetals,
in tl:o form of small bars, ivory, rubber,
palm oil and dried fish are articles of
circulation among distant trilx s. Pot
tery of a nido description is also made,
while the art of weaving cotton cloth is
well known.
‘The character of these natives is in
fantile. in confideiico and suspicion, in
easy anger and reconciliation, in unde
veloped instincts they arc essentially
children. Under evil influence, such as
the introduction of spirituous liquors
and other vices of civilized nations, they
rapidly be* omedemoralized.”

TIIK SLAVE TRADE.
*1 have lived in Africa." eoutinued
Cafit. Horn, ‘ long onougli t.* assure my
self that many a so called ‘savage attack'
by .African natives was in reality *» gal
lant defeii»4** from their point of view;
that the low tj*pe African of whom we
hear is often but a noble savage degraded
by contact with Artib ivory and slave
dealers During the past ten or twelve
years meny white men and women have
lived among tho tribes of tho far interior,
and it l»as 1ms*d discovered that they are
people of mnch tiie Mine passions as
Caucasians. Although easily degraded,
they are also capable, when surrounded
by favoring circumstances, of rising in
civilization and of grasping higher ami
better things.
•In tho far interior numbers of people
in every tribe are slaves. Prisoners of
war, those* condemned for witchcraft
and other otrem#*a and their families,
weakly persons or those in distress, be
come slaves. They pass from hand to
hand, traveling toward tho coast as tho
direction where the value is greatest.
There they are collected by traders,
Arabs, half casto and African. This
system of slavery can be abolished with
the aid of the Arab traders. Assure
them other modes of living and they
will cease to barter slaves with tho
tribes that exchange ivory.
‘That tiie Arabs have been invited to
the slave trade by the natives; that they
prefer ivory, and frequently take slaves
only as the alternative; that tho natives
suffer more at tho hands of each other
than of the Arabs; that the great traffic
and most horrible features of the same
are essentially African and the interior
-are facts testified to by Burton, Baker,
Livingstone and Stanley. The slave
trade is in uiy opinion an African, not
an Arab question, and while stories
lave been published of horrors and pil
lage committed by Arabs at tho south
end of Lake Tanganyika and the north
eud of Lake Nyanxa they were untrue
and exaggerated. The depredations
were committed by the Wawemba and
Wagaraganze tribes after the departure
of the Arab trader, who kept peace
among them."—San Francisco Cbron-

The Importance of purifying tho blood can
not be overestimated, for without pure blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and wo ask you to try Hood's
DzarMiliar Sarsaparilla. Itstrepgthens
recuilcu an d builds up the system
creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The pecullai
combination, proportion, and preparation
of the vegetable remedies used give to
nood's Sarsaparilla pecul- Ifcplf
lar curative powers. No ■ ^ llOCll
other medicine has such a record of wonderful
cures. If you have made up your mind to
buy nood’s Sarsaparilla do not be induced to
take any other instead. It is a Peculiar
Medicine, and is worthy your confidence.
nood's Sarsaparila is sold by all druggists.
