DR. LIVINGSTONE’S HEART
A Journey to the Tree I’nder Which It
Im Buried.
The second article made up from
tho journals of the Into E J. (Have,
who crossed Africa in the interests
of The Century, appear* in that
magazine. It is devoted to the jour
ney to the Livingstone tree and gives
the following account of this ma
Inarial of the great missionary:
July s —This is a rod letter day in
my < nt r. 1 have visited the place
where Dr. Livingstone’s heart is
buri d i■■ ie.it!) a big tree, called
mowula, and by the Ilala mpundu
Altho ugh done 20 years ago, the in
ker pt n is in a splendid state of
p-'.-i /ion. Tho tree shows no dia-
Cguretn it. a 1 moreover the carv.
ing is r. it on tho bark, but on th«
grain of tl.o tree itself. It is a hard
wood tn ■, 3 feet in diameter at
< : it throws out
] , tranches. Its top is a thick
m iss of l .age. When Livingstone
died, the heart and other viscera
were b ri- l b moath this tree, and
the hark w is cleared off for a space
of 2 .. square feet. In this space Ja
cob Wain right, whose account my
discovery verities to the letter, carv
ed the inscription with no dunce’s
hand, the letters being well shaped
and b iid. The tree is situated at the
edge of tho grass plain and is very
conspicuous, being the largest tree
in the neighborhood. Itisabout five
miles south-southwest from the
present site of the village of Karon
ga Nzofu, an important Bisa chief,
whoso father was q friend of Liv
ingstone. Chitambo’s is now ten
miles away. It was originally neai
tho tree. In fact Livingstone died a
few minutes’ walk from the old vil
lage of ( hitambo. About ten years
ago Chitambo was so harassed by
the Awemba raiders of Chiquanda
that he left his village.’ The sacred
tree has often heard the fierce yel
of the man hunters and the scream*
of womon and children and wound
ed men.
Livingstone’s long prayers for As
ric i’s deliverance have not yet re
oeived fair response. Since his deatl
new raiders have appealed in tin
bo’s old village standing, merely i
big space cov< red with young tim
her. The Livingstone tree look*
sturdy and healthy and likely t<
last many years. I do not see how
1 can contribute to tho futurereoog
nition of the place. Metal, if I bac
it, would 1.0 stolen. There are n<
stems in the district to make a
cairn. Tho tree will outlive anj
wooden cross I might erect. Severa
of the oh. r men at KarongaNzofuT
remember Dr. Livingstone and de
scribo his appearance very well in
deed. They mention the cap heal
ways wore.
July 9. —Today I revisited the tree
where Livingstone died, and in or
der to guide others to the exact spot
in case tins tree should disappear
from any cause I selected another
big tree likely to last many years,
cleared away 2,L square feet of its
bark, and in the space marked as
follows, “This tree is magnetic
southwest of the tree where Living
stone's remains are buried and is 4i.
paces from it.” I brought away p
bit of the bark of tho memorable
tree—a dead part, so as not to bt
guilty of vandalism.
Livingstone’s grave is in a quiet
nook, such as ho himself desired, in
the outskirts of a forest, bordering
on a grass plain where the roan buck
and eland roam in safety. When I
visited the place, turtle doves were
cooing in the tree tops, and ** litter
of young hyenas had been playing
near by. In tho low ground outside
tho hole leading to the cave were
their recent tracks. They had scam
pered into safety at our approach.
Tlsgry Irropp*.-
Here is an unrecorded ‘‘minnte*
concerning a certain woman's dull
in Now York city. Following the
example of all such organizations
the olub, when first organized, pre
pared an elaborate constitution and
bylaws. These were duly printed
and bound. Soon after they ap
pearod, a copy chanced to fall int<
the bands of the busband of one ci
the members. After he bad perused
tho volume tho entire edition was al
once recalled and a new one pre
pared. The second edition, however,
differed >'it in one respect from the
first. It had merely followed the
advice of the aforesaid member’s
husband and omitted the following
bylaw, “No two members shall occu
py the floor at tho same time.”—

genuine curiosity which had been
made by a li'.tle blind boy in Chi

than a miniature house, made up of
forty odd pieces of wood, which was
placed cn the inside of a very com
mon looking fobr ounce medicim

who examined the wonder was that
it would puzzle a man with twe
good c oto put tho pieces in th.
bottle, to say nothing of the task of
gluing them together so as to make
them resernblo 3 house.-

A good story has been told by a
family doctor regarding a little ruse
adopted by one of his patients who
wished to save the expense of consult
ing him.
The patient was a woman of good
means, but of frugal disposition. One
day she began to feel some alarm re
garding her health, and, wishing to
avoid a costly procedure, made an ap
plication to a life insurance company
for a policy of large amount —so large,
Indeed, that they delegated three med
ical men to make an exhaustive exami
nation of her before they could accept her
as a risk.
In due time she was informed that
her life had been accepted. She was
thus in a position to assume that she
was quite well, whereupon she replied
to the company that she had changed
her mind, and did not intend to take
out a policy just then.—Pearson’s
Week’r.

The Provencal snails, which feed F

as the four women brought to the table

while there was only the sound ofvxger
munching, mixed with the clutter oh
china of the empty shells. To exi-raot
them we had the strong thorns, three or
four inches long, of the wild aoachn. and
on these the little brown morsels were
carried to the avid mouths and eaten
with a bit of bread sqpped in the sauce,
and then the shell was subjected to a
vigorous sacking, that not a drop of
sauce lingering within it should be le»L
