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. - Artificial Rubber.

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.

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. —Thomas Haggertv in Globe-Democrat.

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 portent, and it is on record that young Bernal was subpoenaed on a charge of having entered into a conspiracy with liis uncle, the druggist of San Lorenzo, to affect the evanesence of a public pas ture brook by mixing its waters with evaporative essences?—Lippincott’s Mag azine. „ „ . ~. | Letters of Dismission.

She said that his voice was bad and his vocalization very defective, but that the lyric purity, perfection and poignant expressiveness of liis musical phrasing were simply astounding.—Will iam F. Agthorp in Scribner’s Magazine. 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.

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. —Chicago News. ) In Coweta Superior j \ Court, March Term, 1887.
