DR. WOLF’S EXPLORATIONS.
Cannibalistic Warriors of Africa—A Vil
lage of Dwarfs—Wife Selling.
We little dreamed a few years ago that
the Congo had such magnilicent tributa
ries as have been discovered within a few
years. Dr. Ludwig Wolf, the eminent
African explorer, found that for a long
distance the Sankuru is about three miles
wide, with an average depth of nine feet.
For 300 miles up the river Dr. Wolf met
a great many canoes. Many of them
were of enormous size, twice the length
if his little steamer, and they easily ac-
•ommodated eighty rowers. It was a
picturesque sight to see these great canoes
with their force of rowers all standing up
and plying their paddles so effectively
that they could far outstrip the steamer
m speed. Of course, the white man and
ids jmffing steamboat created immense
excitement and astonishment, but very
little fear was manifested. Some of the
natives were inclined to be hostile, and
one powerful tribe, the Bassongo Mino,
confessed themselves to be cannibals.
The colored cloths and trinkets displayed
by the traveler excited their astonish
ment and envy, and, as Dr. Wolf de
clined to give ali his pretty tilings away,
t hey decided to take them without ask
ing permission.
One morning some of these warriors
were overheard talking the matter over.
They said it would he very easy to kill
the white man and his small party, chop
them uji for food, and seize the steamer
and all the beautiful things it contained.
One of Dr. Wolf’s'helpers, a large, fleshy
man, excited their particular admiration,
and they regarded him much as a farmer
does a prize porker. Asa preliminary
to their scheme of serious hostility, they
began to pick quarrels with the explo
rer’s men. Their chief, Tongolata, be
came very insolent, and told Dr. Wolf
lie bad him quite at his mercy. The ex
plorer and liis little force showed their
guns to the natives, who merely laughed.
They thought the guns as harmless as so
many cudgels cut from a thicket, and in
their ignorance did not regard them as
weapons at all.
Dr. Wolf was now able to do what
many another explorer has done when
hostile savages, counting the little ^and of
strangers whom they believed they had
wholly in their power, liave decided to
destroy them. He simply paralyzed the
natives by giving them a little idea of the
mysterious properties of the shooting
irons. While he was standing by the
side of the saucy chief trying to placate
that important savage, the explorer sud
denly drew his revolver, held it close to
the chief’s ear, and discharged it. The
effect was magical. The chief shivered
from head to foot with fear. He had
never had such a tingling in his ears be
fore, and he took hold of them to see if
they were still there. The big crowd of
yelling, insolent natives were struck
dumb with astonishment and horror. It
required the explosion of only one car
tridge to convince the savages that these
visiters wore very superior beings who
must he treated with due courtesy and
respect. The politic chief at once pre
tended to bo the explorer’s most excel
lent friend, sent him a present of two
chickens, and allowed him to go on his
way unmolested.
One day when Dr. Wolf was tramping
through a forest he suddenly came to a
grassy opening and saw before him a
large village of the Batua dwarfs, whom
Stanley heard of when he first descended
the Congo, though he did not see them.
These curious little creatures, who are
spread over a large extent of country
south of the Congo, are very similar to
i hr Akka dwarfs whom Schweinfurth
discovered north of that river. They are
timi 1 little folks, and they would doubt
less have run away if they had seen Dr.
Wolf before he suddenly appeared
.among them. Ha-found them living in
mean looking grass huts. Around their
villuge were many carefully covered pit-
falls, nine to twelve feet deep, which they
had dug for the purpose of catching any
elephants, buffaloes and wild boars that
might venfiire out of the forest to feed in
the grassy glade where the dwarfs lived.
At first the dwarfs, quaking with fear,
gazed on the white man from a distance,
but finally they became quite friendly.
They are a little over four feet high, are
coffee brown in color, and are well shaped.
They make no attempt to cultivate the
soil, but live solely by hunting, with their
bows and arrows and spears. They dry
a good deal of meat, which they sell
among the neighboring tribes for Indian
corn, manioc, and other vegetable pro
ducts. Lukengo, the king of one large
tribe, keeps quite a number of Batua in
his service, and it is their business to pro
vide game and palm wine for the king’s
table. Dr. Wolf says they are exceedingly
skillful in the management of their bows,
arrows and spears.
( The Baluba, whom Wolf and Wiss-
mann found about 150 miles south of the
junction of the Kassai and Sankuru riv
ers. are among the gentlest and most in
telligent people who have been found in
Africa. Tvey have, however, one ex
ceedingly bad practice. Dr. Wolf says
that they have become very fond of guns
since trading tribes who live nearer the
lihite men have introduced these wea
pons among them, and they will sell their
daughters and even their wives to procure
guns and ammunition. These people have
many excellent proverbs and maxims,
such as these: ‘ ‘Law is better than force,
ami -‘Life is better'than wealth.” They
arc regarded as being, in most respects,
peculiarly amenable to civilizing influ
ences. For all that, they support one of
the greatest native slave markets in
Africa, and Dr. Wolf says it will take a
long time and strong civilizing influences
before their devotion to the slave trade
will cease. When Dr. Wolf told one
Baluba chief that it was very wrong to
sell his wives, the chief took him apart
and explained to him in confidence that
the Baluba never sold good wives, hut
only troublesome womem whom they
couldn’t get along with.—New York Sun.

JERSEY CRANBERRY MARSHES.
The Thrifty Hush's Three Enemies—
flooding the ltog—Pickers at Work.
There are between 5,000 and 6,000
acres of New Jersey marsh under cran
berry cultivation to-day, which is about
one-quarter of the cranberry growing
area of the United .States, Massachu
setts and Wisconsin being the other
principal growers of the fruit. A cran
berry marsh of the present day is as
handsome a plat of green things grow
ing as the eye could n*st ujsin. but the
rearing of the bushes on a new bog to
the age of fruit bearing is attended with
no end of care and toil, to say noth
ing of the expense. Since the cultivation
of cranberries assumed the proportions
of a large and important agricultural pur
suit in New Jersey, three enemies, not
one of which assailed the bush in its wild
state, have arisen up against it—a grass,
a bulrush and an insect. After a new
marsh or swamp has been cleared, ditch
ed and sanded, it is planted by takings
or slips from old bushes and inserting
one end of them in the layer of sand on
the peat soil, which is pushed closely
about the slips. Cranberry slips soon
take root in the generous peat, and begin
to grow almost immediately. They
spread rapidly over the marsh, but be
fore they have reached out their branches
many day s the planter finds them sur
rounded and clicked by the sharp edged,
stiff leaved, three square grass, and its
inevitable coadjutor, the hardy and per
sistent bulrush.
The grass and the rushes must be re
moved root and branch, for which pur
pose curious gouges and peculiar hoes
and other implements have been devised.
These pestiferous weeds liave to be con
stantly watched, and uprooted every
week or so for two seasons, so thoroughly
impregnated does the soil seem to lie
with their germs and so rapidly do they
develop. At the end of the second year
the cranberry bushes have obtained such
strength and headway that they cover the
ground all over the bog like an immense
velvety mat of emerald and have choked
the enterprising grass and rushes out of
existence. It is estimated that to foster
a cranberry bog to this state of its exist
ence costs the owner §100 an acre. If a
man should want to buy a 2-year-old bog,
thrifty and in perfect condition, he would
be lucky if he could obtain it for less than
$600 an acre.
Cranberry bushes blossom at the be
ginning of the third season, and from
that time on the grower may expect a
visit from the webworm, the most
dreaded enemy of the bog. A singular
characteristic of this insect is that it never
gives warning of its coming on a marsh.
The cranberry grower may go to bed at
night without having been able to dis
cover a sign of a webworm on his bushes,
and get up next morning to see the marsh
look as if it were covered with miniature
banks of fog, and the tops of the hushes
drawn together so tightly that a twine
tied around them could hardly make
them any closer. The light banks of fog
re the webs of the worm, which have
been constructed during the night, and
are what pulls the tops of the vines to
gether. In a day or so the vines turn
yellow, and the blossoms drop to the
ground, and the owner of that marsh
does not make any very large calcula
tions on profits that year. About the
first of November the} 7 are submerged
under five or six feet of water with which
the bogs are artificially flooded. This
water is drawn off about the middle of
May, and the bushes come to view as
fresh and green as a June clover field.
There w«re picked last year in the New
Jersey marshes nearly 200.000 bushels of
cranberries, which were sold at an av
erage price of §2 a bushel. The yield
this year will not be more than two-
thirds of last year’s, but it is expected
that the price will be high enough to in
sure as large a return to the growers as
they had from the crop of 1880.
The inventive genius not only of Jer
sey, but of the whole country, lias taxed
itself annually in vain for ever so many
years to provide an automatic berry
picker. The harvesting of the cranberry-
crop of New Jersey, and of all other
places where the berry is grown, is vir
tually in the hands of the people the
grower is forced to employ as pickers.
They bully and harass and boycott and
strike under the slightest provocation of
their employers. The cranberry grower
has to walk humbly and circumspectly
about his bogs or be disciplined roundly
by the gatherers of his crop. The owners
of cranberry marshes in New Jersey dis
tribute over $5,000 a day for two or three
weeks during the picking season alone to
the people, many of whom would be
otherwise seeking aid from the town be
fore spring, but for some reason the pick
ers regard the growers as their natural
enemies, and act toward them accord
ingly.—New York Mail and Express.

Stock of Street Fakirs.
It is a subject of much speculation to
the general public as to how street fakirs
are supplied with their stocks. At a
national political convention, after three
days’ lialloting, a candidate for president
is chosen. As the delegates file out of
the hall they are offered badges with the
portrait of the candidate. A great body
of men assembles in a town, and the rain
falls. With the first drops the streets
and the hotels are thronged with umbrella
peddlers. If it is hot, the same men are
selling fans. If it is damp, they have
cough drops, or, if it is bright, they offer
canes. I’ll tell you about this business.
The fakir never carries a stock. He buys
and sells the same day, tevery large city
has what is known as “peddlers' supply
houses.” On the outside you will see
that they deal in “notions” or “counter
goods.” These stores have everything
I from a can opener to a camp ax for sale,
and are prepared to supply the street
merchants with anything from “pain
1 killer” to “smoked glass” for an eclipse.

Up in the dells of thp Sierra, and
nearly ten miles above Don Vicente’s
stock farm, the boy had private knowl
edge of a place where a portion of the
brook found its way into a cavern or
sink hole, without a visible outlet toward
the next valleys of the watershed; and
by widening the channel of the affluent
nearly all the water of the brook was
diverted tow ,ird that drain. The small
residue was absorbed in its course through
the sands of the fountainless plain, and
the next morning the mayoral was sur
prised to note the disappearance of the
sacred stream. An exploring party
failed to elucidate the significance .of the

Wagner's Defective Voice.
Frau Materna once told me that Wag

“Nibelungen” and “Parsifal,” when he
showed his singers how tins or tha - ;

sion to do at the Bayreuth rehearsals,
was literally the despair of all the artists

three score and ten consumes during the
course of liis life twenty wagon loads of
food, solid and liquid. At four tons to
the wagon, this would correspond to an
average of about 100 ounces of food per
day, or say some 120 ounces per day dur
ing adult life, and about eighty ounces
during infancy and youth. Most modern
doctors agree in regarding 120 ounces of
food per day, corresponding to five or
six half pints of liquid food, and seven
or eight pounds of solid food, as in ex
cess of the real daily requirements of a
healthy man or woman.
Yet probably most of us take more
than this, in one way or another, during
the day. Dr. Lankester, from an exten
sive analysis of the dietary of soldiers,
sailors, prisoners, and the better paid
class of artisans and professional men in
London, found the average daily quan
tity of solid and liquid food to be 148
ounces. Doubtless many take much less;
but unquestionably many take much
more than this. When some one men
tioned before Sydney Smith the twenty
wagon loads of food calculated for each
man’s allowance, he turned to Lord
Durham, who, like himself, was corpu
lent (and not without sufficient reason),
with the quaint remark, “I think our
wagons, Durham, must be four horsed
ones.” There are members of the Lon
don
whose wagons must be six horsed ones,
and well loaded at that.—Richard A.

Prince Bismarck’s Courtesy.
A widow from Bergedorf 4 , a station on
the railway from Hamburg to Friederichs-
ruhe, wanted to see Prince Bismarck.
Arriving at the castle she was told the
prince had gone into the forest. There
she went and walked about until the sun
had gone low down in the sky, but she
had not met a soul all the time. Much
disappointed she intended to go back to
the station,, when she perceived that she
had lost her way. Seeing a carriage in
the distance she called aloud till the occu
pant of the vehicle heard her, and ordered
the coachman to turn the horses’ heads
her way. She said she "'as lost in the
wood and wanted to go to the station.
The man in the carriage opened the door
and asked her to take a seat by his side
and wrapped a soft shawl about her. The
talkative woman soon came out with a
tale of the object of her visit to Friederichs-
rulie, and her great disappointment at
having spent the money for her ticket
on the railroad for nothing. “Well, my
good woman, look at me—I am the
prince. 5 ’ said her companion. ‘ ‘For God’s
sake!” cried the woman, jumping up in
great excitement; “then I must get over
there and sit with the coachman. ’ ’ But
the prince would not let her, wrapped her
up again and set her down at the station.
