Xllggtnson In New England Magatlno, THE BOGY MAN. In 1715 a small elave schooner from the coast of Africa, bound for Virginia, ITU blown far out ot her course, toward the north, and put in at the port of Bos ton. The cargo consisted of little else than a few families of Congo negroes destined for the new plantations of Virginia. New Englanders did not then feel any special abhorrence to slavery. If not regarded with positive favor it was not regarded with disfavor, and the slaver found little difficulty in disposing of his cargo of men, women and children to the good citizens of Massachusetts bay. Amdng the purchasers was Mr. Lem uel Clark, owner of a large tract of land on the Merrlmac river, in New Hamp shire. Three families of negroes were bought by him and taken to his estate in the wilderness. Once the tenant of an English baron ial estate himself, he Inclined to play the baron on his New Hampshire do main, A great stockade was built upon the eminence overlooking the Merrlmac, and within the stockade, upon the crown of the hill, stood his large log house. Lower down, but within the stockade, were three cabins of the slave families and the more pretentious houses of the families of English laborers who accom panied Mr. Clark to the New Yorld. Back from the stockade and stretching to the foot of some cliffs that formed the abutment ot a range of low hills was n wide expanse of level, cleared land, on Which the estate raised its corn and po tatoes. Beyond the few charred stumps that marked the edge of the clearing was the forest stretching away as far as the eye could reach. As the Merrimac was one of the high ways of marauding French and Indians, the stockade was very strongly built, and from embrasures in its walls pro jected three small brass cannon com manding the sweep of the river In every direction. No fleet of canoes could safely pass the Btockade by day. The importance of the place was so well rec ognized that Mr. Clark held a colonial commission as major and the stockade was officially styled Fort Clark. The children of the fort made no dis tinction between white and black. The little Clarke, Sanborns, Tennys and Marsdens played with the little Qua hees, Cusheea and Gambas upon terms , of perfect equality. The children of both races whisked from house to house. About the hearths of the negroes the little Englishmen listened with fascinated horror to wild tales of devils and evil spirits, great serpents, huge river monsters and the gigantic manltte apes of the mysterious continent ot Africa; of bloody tribal wars and human sacrifices to the heathen gods. The little black boys learned of the gay elves and gnomes, of dainty sprites and fays ot merry England, of the good cheer of Christmas and the ports of May Day. The rival story tell ers strove to outdo each other in the marvelous tales; but nothing so pleased the children of both races as Sam Qua bee's stories of the Mumbo Jumbo, for In his native village Sam himself had been Mumbo Jumbo. The big Congo negro enjoyed telling how when a crime had been committed by some person unknown , Mum do J umbo was called upon to detect the guilty one, and how, mounted upon stilts, with a long grass cloak completely enshroud ing him, a great false head fastened above his own head and a pair of wooden arms sticking out below it, he stalked about the village like a giant, terrifying the guilty one until lie con fessed his crime. The children delighted to hear of the Hnmbo Jumbo marching up and down the paths of the African village, crowds ot people dancing about him, beating on tomtoms and singing wild chants. And when Cushee and Uainba gave the bat tle yell of the cannibal tribe for those were cannibal families the satisfaction was complete. Of the tales of the, English merry making, none pleased tbo little Africans 10 much as Philip Sanborn's descrip tions of the May Day sports, The jollity of Christmas they knew, for Lemuel Clark was not a Puritan and kept the Christmas holidays, but they wished to dance about a May pole crowned with flowers. One Christmas night, as all the people of the fort were gathered In the big common room of the "great house," Mr. Clark promised that the ap- r aching May Day should be celebrated English style. Philip Sanborn was told to take the matter in hand and make any preparations he wished. Philip Sanborn was pleased, but seeing a cloud upon the face of his rival story teller, Sam Quashee, he asked if the negro families might not have the after noon of May Day for showing their na tive games and sports, The request was readily granted, and on the next day Sam Quashee dragged to his cabin two well seasoned pine logs that had been left after bnlldlug the Btockade, and for weeks thereafter em ployed every evening In carving from the logs mysterious objects which even his own children i .1 . .Jh.wed to see. The winter of 1"..'.' melted Into an early spring in New Hauiiliire. The rivers were free from ice in April, and the first canoes that came up the Merrl mac brought the news that war was de clared with France. The weapons and defenses were duly looked to, but no precautions were taken, forit was a long month's journey through the wilderness to Canada; besides it was not likely the enemy would move at once. May Day came at last and a tall May pole decorated with wreaths ot Sowers and stripes of colored cloth stood in the broad stretch ot greensward before the gate of the stockade. Around this pole the children diiiiced and played old English games. A bountiful outdoor ztpast called the merrymakers from their fun. Hastily eating what was placed beforo them, the older negroes left the others at the feast. Going across the clearing they disappeared among the heaps of rocks at the foot of the craggy hills. All the mysterious things Sam Quashee had been laboring , upon for the past monttis evidently were hidden in the cliffs. The children Im patiently awaited the advent of the weird procession whose grotesque strangeness would cause tnem that de lightful terror all children enjoy. An hour passed, but as yet there were no signs of life about the heaps of rocks The delay was unaccountable. 8a 1. Soaihee's oldest buy, Bob, proposed that isy start across the fields to meet the delayed procession. The other chil dren eagerly agreed-, and off they all started. Picking their way over the soft plowed land, they went toward the Lills, all the time on the alert, expect ing to turn and flee at any moment be fore the approach of the Mumbo Jumbo. "Why, they are not at the dills at all,' said Mary Clark when the chib drea had reached the middle of the clearing. "Look over the edge of pices." SJure -enough, they could see dark fig ure among the berried trees at the bor der of the forest hastily concealing rtieaisel vee from thegaxe of the little ClUWd ao fOddMilr CUX&44 BaWtUbaKU '1 saw '"e'ml" cried Luke Sanborn. I "Oi One of m had a feather baton. I could see It just as plain, but I didn't see anybody on stilts with a false face. Let's go over." "It's too far away to see any stilts or false, faces and we had better ty here," said Patience Tenney, the oldest of the group, Just at that moment there sounded from the fort the harsh blare of the trumpet used to call the laborers from the fields at mealtime. Looking back the children saw a sudden flash of flame, and a deep roar of a cannon reverberated among the hills. The next limtiuit the crackle of musketry came faintly from the Merrlmac: It was answered from the fort; a blood cnrdlitig war whoop burst from the edge of the clearing near them and three Indian warriors raised from among the stumps and came leap ing toward them I Almost before they could turn toward the fart loud drum peals sounded from the rocks at the foot ot the liills. Ab if in reply to the war whoops there rang forth the wild, savage, African battle cry. There stalked forth Into theclear ing two immense, hideous giants, ac companied by four strangely bedecked creatures beating on tomtoms and screaming forth the battle cry of tlw Ansgari cannibals. Fearful, huge, led distorted gashes of mouths, knobby, black cheeks, terribly staring whits eyes, altogether diabolical faces had these two giants, stalking stiffly out of the clearing. Scarcely less terrifying were the bepainted creatures with tnooso horns rising above their heads, who leaped and danced along before the giants. Away, with loud shrieks, the children rushed toward the fort. The Indians halted amazed. The giants and their attendants halted too. They had just discovered the Indians, They had thought the tiring of the cannon a salute in honor of the day. The Indians hesitated, and the Mum bo Jumbos hesitated, But one cannot stand still ou stilts. The tallest of the Mumbo Jumbos stag gered forward and one of the Indians turned and fled, The other giant ad vanced, the attendants struck their drums again, and again the horrid An gart war song pealed forth, and the sec ond Indian followed the first The third Indian dropped on one knee, and before the Mumbo Jumbos could turn ho drew a bead and sent a bullet crashing through the wooden forehead of Sam Quashee's mask. The giant neither fell nor faltered, ana with a cry of terror the last Indian rushed after his companions down the river edge. Slowly, as belltttug their brave con quests and the softness of the ground the procession of Mumbo Jumbos passed across the field and through the gut? of the fort where the children had just pre ceded them. The idols of Africa had overcome the redskins. The rising gen eration of Clerks, Tennys, Sunburns and Marsdens would never doubt that fact. Meantime the white coated body of a French officer went floating down the river, and two canoes rapidly disap peared up the river. The attack upon Fort Clark had been repulsed. The war with France had begun, Atlanta Con stitution. Tfht flood Clothe. Are For.

For seven years 1 have been making almost dally experiments upon the in ternal organs of dead animals In order to Increase my knon ledge of compara tive pathology. Tlie postmortem ex. aminatlons were made for the most port at the Lamjiarter Glue Works, in tho Buburlx ot Lancaster, Pa. Here ot course were the bodies of large numbers of animals which igpnled me nn abun dant supply of subjects for examination. The vicinity of tho works swarmed with rats. Many of them, the workmen told me, sickened nnddied fromttmo to timo, and I became curious to know something about the disease that carried so many of the rodents off. I could find next to nothing about tho rat In books, bo tho thought growing upon me that the disease so fatal to the rat might bo made dangerous to tho rat's nearest neighbor, man himself, 1 undertook a series of experiments. My first rat subject was n sick one which I eaptured in the yard of the glue works without any exertion. The animal crawled about, made no effort to escapo from me and when picked up offered no resistance. Its appearance indicated that it was- dying of general debility. Its body was greatly emaciated. Its back was arched and Its face bore an expres sion of distress. It refused food, was racked with n constant cough and In n few hours after lwing captured wa found dead In the comfortable prison In which I had placed it. My next subject was a healthier and more active rat. I caught him only to mark him and then gave him his free dom. He camo into tho yard regularly for his rations of flesh from various an! mals, but gradually showed the same symptoms that marked tile condition of my first subject, and in fourteen das-s after capture he, too, was dead. The postmortem examination of these two cases developed the fact that the lnngf were badly diseased. Tuberculosis had destroyed the right lung of each and only a part of the left ' remained. Dr. 8.

Up on the east side of North Seventh 1 street, about midway between Poplar street and Qlrard avenue, stands a strik ingly curious tree, which altraots the attention of every parser by. It stands just in front of a stable yard, and the employees of the place say that doaens of ieople come to them every week nnd make remarks or ask questions about the strange growth, trom the thick ness of the trunk at the base the tree Is probably about forty yeats old, but its branches nnd foliage are new nnd fresh, and look as though they were but the growth or a year or two. Tho trunk runs straight from the ground to n height of about fifteen feet. Above this for n short distance Is a thick, globular mass of foliage, the leaves appearing to grow directly out of tho wood. Above this growth run up three thick stalks or stumps six or eight feet high, also covered with a dense, close mass of foliage. When the tree Is viewed from the north Bide It presents n startling resemblanco to a giant human hand protruding from tho earth, The three big stumps at the top represent the three mlddlo fingers, nnd upon cither Bldo of these can easily bo Been configurations of the surrounding foli age which correspond to the little finger and thnmb.

Up where Wolf liver, trenolierous nnd Insatiate as the nniuml for which it Is named, empties Its yellow waters Into the great Hood of the Mimlmljipt, is n cluster of odd looking craft, Halt house, half boat, Unit lie moored to tho bank and form a part of a great floating snli urb of Memphis, of whose existence tlio average cltlsen is totally unaware. Nevertheless, strange as It may seem, the Inhabitants of this floating village are born, live, tnarry and die in their movable homes In much the same man ner as people in similar walks of life Whose houses have a firmer foundation, and, stranger still, tliev like their liver life and would bo extremely loath to give it up. Who they are and where they came from, wnltlier tliey iro and now they live, were questions that aroused the cu riosity of the writer aud Induced him to make a tour of inquiry among the house boats, as tliey are called. These are of all shapes and sizes, from the more pretentious home ot the well to do shipbuilder to the humble abode of the itinerant fisherman. Some of them are named and some aro not Many are neatly puluted and show glimpses of interlora In which lace cur tains, carpets and pictures combine to make not inharmonious settings. Social lines are not very tightly drawn In the village of the houseboats, and the homes of whites and blacks lie mixed indis criminately, without regard to race, col or or previous condftiou of servitude. Wanderers by nature, tho term water gypsies may be applied not tuiiptly tu the inhabitants of the village. It is not to be wondered at therefore that tho colony is by no means composed of those who are to the manner born. On tbe contrary, It is made up of representa tives from nearly all of the twenty odd states that are drained by the Missis sippi or its tributaries. Were a census J of the floating village taken tomorrow it would show some Interesting statistics 1 concerning the birthplaces of Its inhab- Hants. Here one can find a man who has drifted down from the Black Hills of Montana side by side with a nativo ot Pittsburg or Cincinnati, while their next neighbor may be from St. Paul or Knnx vllle. From far up the Missouri, the Missis sippi, the Ohio and the Tennessee rivers they come, resting here like birds of passage for a time, till, moving ever southward with the current, tliey become merged with the cosmopolitan popula tion of the Orescent City, hundreds of miles below, even as the waters of the Mississippi become lost In the great Qulf of Mexico. There is but little doubt that the dweller in the Mississippi houseboat has successfully solved the problem of living on next to nothing. Believing that the river is free, and that it owes him a living, the waif of the father "of waters does not find it very dlfllcult to collect tho debt. Just what the Ice fields are to the Eskimo, the desert to the Arab, the plains to the Indian, the river is to him. It is at once his place of abode and his means of support. Land lords, or, more properly speaking, water lords, are unknown to him, nnd rent day, that nightmare of the poor, is fraught with 110 terrors to his mind, be cause he pays no rent. The law provides that any one moor ing a boat to the bank of a river is sub ject to a rental at the option of tho owner, but in the case of the houseboat dweller this is rarely enforced. For fuel he catches the driftwood brought down by the river ur gathers that which ac cumulates along the bank. His princi pal article ot food is fish, for which he turns once more to the river, und from its yellow bosom draws tho juicy cat fish, the buffalo, the perch and innumer able other varieties that abound therein. Only his clothes and a few other bare necessaries of life are not supplied by tbe river, and the means to obtain these is readily secured by the thousand pur suits open to the sturdy longshoreman, Scattered among the houseboat colony are here and there a family who have virtually taken to the river out of neces sity. These are refugees from the flooded districts of the upper Missislppi, who have been tendered homeless by freshets. Rained by the encroachment of the river, they have collected such of their effects as the waters left and embarked on a hastily constructed craft, built as likely as not from the debris of their former homes. Memphis Appeal-Avalanche. The Record uf IMg-coil Flight.. Major Allatt wants us against some stories regarding long flights by trained pigeons which have been put forth on high authority. It was at his sugges tion that an apocryphal tale ot pigeons sent out to aud returning from the arctic regions, which has even been imposed upon Yarrell, was expunged from the last edition of that writer's "British Birds," An equally false account of a pigeon flying 1,500 miles in America Is also extant. Major Allatt believes the greatest dis tance pigeons have flown of which we have any accurate record is in the races which have taken pllce two or three times from Borne to Belgium, a distance of between 600 and 800 miles. But In every one of these cases a vet y large proportion ot birds have bees lost.--London News. mother. Way. Mrs. Spoota (looking out ot the win dow Goodness!
