A WOMAN IN AFRICA."
MRS. FRENCH SHELDON'S STORY OF
HER ARDUOUS JOURNEY.
Hie Penetrated Countries Where tha
Fuce or a White Woman Had Never
Itcen Seen Slie Encountered Many Fe
cular Dlfllcultlos, but Vu SuceessfuL
One of the most interesting addresses
made beforo tlia British association whs
- ilrs. French Sheldon's on her journey in
fcfricii, where she visited Mount Kilima
njaro and Lake Tchala. Mrs. Sheldon is
jest known as a literary worker, and her
trip to the African wilderness was much of
t surprise to all who knew her. Various
notives were ascribed to her which she hud
lever for a mordent entertained. She made
ao profession of possessing; scientific attri
butes, und hod uo thought of geographical
txplorntinn. Her plan whs to study the
aiitive habits and customs free from the
influence of civilization and in their primi
iive condition. She started ou her journey
tvitliont companionship or the assistance
it a lieutenant, mid not even with atloctor.
The expedition of 130 men was personal
ly directed, disciplined and led by herself.
Her English stewardess whs taken serious
ly ill, and the expedition had to carry her
tor three-fourths of the distance in a must
Jiingerous coudition. The majority of her
lunivuu party were untrained and unre
liable, and until she gained complete mas
!ery over them there wiw a disposition to
be rebellious. The hazard, however, was
taken with eyes open, and the responsibili
ty was incurred in order that a portion of
the country should be visited which was
inlely inhabited by natives who hud never
wen the faces of white men or womeu.
She received beforo starting many hints
troni meu like Mr. Stanley aud rather trav
elers. She had besides read most of the
Dunks ou tho subject, and taking warning
From their mishaps, she tried to effect the
tormation of a canivau free from liability
to such dangers; but tho time was short
tnd great hiislo had to lie made.
QUELUNU MUTINOUS MEN.
The start was made from Zanzibar. But
there she had great difficulty in securing
mitable men. The sultan persouully as
listed her, however, and at length the
quota was made up. The men were after
ward mutinous, and gave her indescriba
ble trouble.
She had expected hardships, but she did
not expect to have, day after day, iu the
lolitude of the desert, to coutend with new
Sillicultles which arose and to overcome
which almost needwl more than human
kid. There was nothing left to her but to
gain absolute control over her men. This
could only be done by un application of the
rawhide whip. She often lay awake at
night trying to decido what would be the
best thing to do. Had she consulted her
own first impulses she would have shot
more than once every man in the caravan.
She found, however, that a certain de
gree of patience had to be cultivated, and
when punishment had to be meted out it
was necessary to wuit patiently for the exe
cution of orders. This delay was one of
the most difficult things she had to contend
against, because of her impatience to have
her orders executed. The hardships en
tailed by the climate were also very great.
The rains had begun to full, and when
marching she and her party were frequent
ly up to the armpits in water or hulf sunk
In marshes.
It was interesting to observe that the
natives, instead of taking to flight on the
approach of her party und deserting the
caravan paths, came down to meet her.
By some system of communication all the
tribes seotued to know of her approach,
and it afforded her no little amusement to
hear the native men and women describe
her .in their own language as "woman
master." They seemed not to be aye to
somprehend the position of a womSu in
charge of a caravan; but, instead of show
ing her rudeness, the natives from one
coast to the other, on routes which passed
through savage and wild districts, showed
nothing but deference and homage. They
treated her in fact as if she were a poten
tate. AH TOFOr.TUNATE ACCIDENT.
She frequently received as many as ten
Dxun as a niark of homage, and the chiefs
would send messengers and couriers ahead
in order to find out whether she intended
to pass through their territory, either go
ing or returning. But she went straight
ahead to Klllma-Njaro. Sometimes the
natives reconnoitered her approach and
held aloof. On these occasions she went
frankly toward them with extended hands
containing some bright, attractive offering
as a present. She went into Africa with
all delicacy and womanliness, but quite
prepared to accept things as they were
there.
On one occasion a band of warriors ap
peared at her camp in an entire state of
nudity. Next day, however, they reap
peared clothed as her own followers were,
thereby showing that they had divined
that their origiual state was distasteful to
her. She had been invited by both the
men and women of tribes to attend their
marriage feasts, dances and funeral serv
ices, which was a very rare experience for
any one outside the tribe to enjoy.
On her return journey she mot with an
nn fort n nate accident. While being car
ried in a palanquin across a swollen tor
rent the porters stumbled, and she was
thrown from a height of thirty or forty
feet. She was dropped by her carriors a
second time, and injury to her spine was
the result. Cor. Now York Tribune,
An Advertising; Scheme.
"It's mighty hard work getting any free
advertising out of you newspaper people
nowadays," sighed the advance agent of a
mammoth allied circus as he passed a
stackof coin over tho business office count
er the other morning.
"Space l space," replied the affable
cashier, as ho made out a receipt.
"1 don't know why it is," continued the
A. A. retrospectively, "but somehow edit
ors don't seem to bite its they used to.
Same on the eastern coast too. I noticed it
particularly on a little snap I worked way
down at Galveston."
"How was thatf"
"Well, you see, I was on my way to that
city by steamer a week in advance of out
show when I struck a great scheme. 1
bought two dozen empty pop bottles and as
many steaks from the steward. Then I got
a lot of arsenic from the medical stores and
rubbed it into the steaks. I put some ot
our bills in the bottles, tied a steak around
each aud dropped 'em overboard as we en
tered the harbor. My calculation was that
the sharks would swallow the meat, be
poisoned, float ashore, would be cut open,
tho bills found and tho whole thingt be writ
ten up by the reporters in great shape."
"How did it work?"
"Like a charm my jart of it, I mean.
Nino sharks altogether stood in with the
show, but every time one came ashore I got
a note from every editor in the place pro
posing to write the thing up, with a snap
camera cut of the shark, at the regulai
rates."
"Pretty mean, that."
"Mean I .Those fellows could give Shy
lock cards and spades. Theonly paper thai
referred to it at all was one we gave sixty
four free passes to. The day we left town
it remarked that our show was enough to

Francisco Examiner.
A Sick Selfish Mam
A thoroughly selfish man is a nuisance
nndor any circumstances, but as an invalid
he is Intolerable. During his convalescence
woe to his wife, if he has one. His couch
or easy chair is as a throne, from which he
dictates, to his household as an absolute
monnrch to his serfs. No consideration
has he for thoir tired muscles, their brains
dozed for lack of sleep, their spirits faint
and weury with fruitless endeavors to
soothe his causeless irritation. He pets
himself, he commiserates his own condi
tion, he sighs as he surveys his attenuated
visage in tho looking glass,- but not a jot
ot sympathy, not a grateful word has. ht
for the wasted watchers to whose nursing
he owes his life, whose love, stronger than
death, has rescued him from the grip of
the Destroyer.
Is such a creature worthy of the tendei
care he thus undervalues and contemns?
Well, that is a family question which must
be left to tho decision of tho self worshiper's
nobler hulf, and it is not difficult to guess
bow she will decide. Somehow or othei
your exuetiug, pitiless men generally
marry geutie, patient, loving women, and
the amount of contumely and ingratitude
which a gentle, patient, loving wife will
bear uncomplainingly from a "brute of a
husband" is beyond all computation.
Byron makes his barbaric hero Mazeppa
suy that "time at last setsall things even;"
but we suspect that it will require a goodly
portion of eternity to "even up" all things
with a selfish hiibbuud. New York Ledger.
THREE INSTANCES.
Actions Which Demonstrate a Peculiar
Power of Mind Over Ilody.
I hud intended to head this article "It
stinct," but it struck me that two of
the stories at least which I have to tell cau
hardly be culled instinct, aud as I don't
know what else to name them I cull thttm
simply "Three Instances."
They are ou the same principle as that
old story of the simmer who had lived ou a
tanal bout before she became famous, and
Due night as she stood before the audience
Somebody shouted out "Low bridge!" aud
the woman ducked her head.
The first instance is alxmt two yountf
fellows, who, barefooted iu the wilds of
America, were turning hay in a meadow.
The two were talking together as they
turned the hay. Suddenly one of the boys
heard a sound like the rattling of very dry
pens iu a pod. He never looked down to
where the noise came from, but with a
suddenness that was puzzling to his com
panion he gave one yell aud jumped at
least half a rod.
His comrade, looking in amazement from
the boy to the place he jumped from, saw
coiled near a spot where a bare foot had
been a large rattlesnake. Two or three
blows from the pole with which he was
turning the buy killed the rattler. Now,
the young man who jumped hud never seen
u rattlesnake before, never hud heard a rut
tlesnuke rattle, was not thiuking of snakes
at all, did not eveu see the snake before bo
jumped, yet if he lived to be one hundred
years old he will never again take such a
leap us that one was.
The second instance is about a suuke that
wasn't there. I was up the other day see
ing a man who hud spent most of his life
in India. I noticed that one of the panes
of Ids window was broken.
"How did that happen!1" I asked.
"You see," was the answer, "it was this
way: Yesterday 1 went out for a long
tramp, aud I wore a hole in the toe of my
stocking, which I didn't notice at the time
aud didn't notice this morning when I put
it on. I was absent mindedly putting on
my shoe when suddenly my toe touched
something cold, anil before I could remem
ber that I was in England aud not in India
I kicked that shoe through the window. I
never put my shoes on in India without
shaking them out to see that nothing was
iu them in the shapeof snakes. This morn
ing I forgot that I wus in England, and re
membered that I hadn't shaken my shoe."
The third instance was something of the
same sort. I was coming from the Temple
station to the Strand when I saw ahead of
me a well known war correspondent. It
was a nasty, slushy day and I hurried to
catch up with him. On one of the streets
leading from tho Strand to tho embank
ment a good deal of building is going on.
At tho moment I speak df a cart tilled
with gravel backed up to where the build
ing operations were proceeding and the
man opened the fc&ck of the cart. The
gravel with a rush and roar fell out on the
road. Instantly my friend, the war corre
spondent, flnug himself face down in
the mud. He got up rather sheepishly,
looked around him and brushed the mud
off his trousers as well as he could. When
I came up to him I said:
"What in tho name of wonder made you
do a thing like that?" You didn't trip,
did you?"
"No," he said, "I didn't trip. I threw
myself down," and he laughed rathor un
comfortably. "It was like this, you see.
You heard that gravel shoot out of tho
cart? Well, that is exactly the sound of a
shell overhead. Coming up from tho sta
tion I was thinking of the Russo-Turklsh
wnr, and I was reully ut Plevna aud not in
London at that moment, and when I heard
that rush of the shell I was down on my
knees before I thought of it. That's what
we always did when we heard a shell com
ing during tho war. If you are down on
your fuce in the saud you arc not so apt to
bo hit by the fragmonts." St. James Bud
get. A Cobra Worsted.
The Ceylon papers described a fight be
tween a cobra and two mongooses, which
was witnessed by a number of residents of
Colombo. It took place as an exhibition
at a private house for some visitors. For a
little time the mongooses were averse to
attacking tho cobra, though they na
round and round it inquiringly. The
snake, which was a splendid specimen of
the deadly cobra and beautifully marked,
exhibited much alarm as soon as it saw
them, and cm led itself up, ready to strike.
After some timo the mongooses warmed
to their work, and the fight began in earn
est. Again and again they dashed in and
seized the snake by the tail or the lower
coils of its body, jumping out of striking
distance before the cobra could touch them..
Their agility In this respect was amazing.
Tired out with watching them run firot
one way round and then tho other, making
an occasional dart In apd jumping as rapid
ly back again, a time came when the cobra,
failing to turn with sufficient speed to face
the mongooses, the latter sprang in, seUeJ
the snake by the back of the head and
killed it at once. A number of instanta
neous photographs of the light were taken
while it was in progress. .

The walls of the spacious rooms of tho

about for an hour iu a state of halt dazed
delight. They asked no end of questions,
which Secretary George Wilson answered
with bis customary geniality. Finally one
of the men, the spokesman of tho party,
paused in front of the priceless, full length
portrait of Alexander Hamilton and, point
ing at it with his cane, said: "When does

GIRLS IN A BIG CITY.
SIFFICULTIES THEY ENCOUNTER IN
GETTING A LIVING. .
Maidens from the Country Generally Have
. a Hard Tim Beeause They Are Unable
to Give Satisfactory Eeferenees Advlee
td Thou at Home.
Of the 100,000 females engaged in various
occupations in New York city a very large
number consists of young women who
have come here from the country near and
far to seek their fortunes. The constantly
widening field of employment for females,
combined with the allurements of city life,
causes a perpetual stream of applicants
from those who are country born. The
numbers of such applicants are far greater
than cuii be supplied with work.
The story of the various employment
agencies and of the societies that seek to
furnish employment to women is the same
that the field is overcrowded. The num
ber of applicants is so many and the neces
sity for refusal so frequent that the Young
Women's Christion association has been
compelled to adopt and .print a circular,
which says:
SODHIS WOHDS.
"Almost every attempt to aid those who
reside out of the city has ended in disap
pointment to the applicant, and often
caused the loss of the situation to another
young woman, to whom it might otherwise
have been given. The reasons for this are:
First, that employers greatly prefer to hire
young women who have references from
places in New York city, where they have
been recently employed, in order that em
ployers may be able at once to assure them
selves ot the capabilities of the applicants;
and second, that employers will not wait
for persons to be sent for who reside out of
town. When the endeavor has been made,
the places have generally been filled before
the applicants could reach here, and be
sides the disappointment to the applicants,
the expenses of the journey are all lost.
And even if young women take board In
New York, the probabilities are that they
will use up all their money before they
succeed in obtaining employment, and per
haps not eveu secure a pluce in the end,
because of the preference given by employ
ers to those who have city references as to
their capability. The experience of years
proves that young women can do better
where they reside aud are known than to
take chuuees in this overcrowded city."
Ono of the greatest disadvantages for
country girls seeking employment in the
city Is the cost of living. Wages which
seem large to the country girl at home
dwiudle very much when compared with
city expenses. There are never enough
boarding houses for these poor girls, for
the prices they are able to pay are often
not such as will secure decent accommoda
tion. The Young Women's Christian as
sociation has started a special home for
such girls, with accommodation for about
a hundred, but it has been fouud necessary
to make it a temporary residence and to
limit the time the occupants are allowed to
remain.
WHAT TliKT DO.
It is with girls, perhaps, more than with
men that the ranks of unskilled labor are
overcrowded. While there are thousands
upon thousands of these country girls who
can sew, tho number ot experts is quite
limited. Many of them have no definite
idea of doing any particular kind of work,
but have merely a general notion of becom
ing self supporting in some way. It is
almost the rule that they have neither the
capital nor the disposition to serve a proper
apprenticeship to anything. They want to
go to work and earn good wages at once,
unmindful of the strong competition for
remunerative places.
There are many country girls of good
families who apply for work In the city for
tho winter, intending only to earn pockrt
money for the summer. Some of them
have artistic accomplishments that they
turn to advantage in one way and another.
A wide Held for the work of country girls
has been opened by the comparatively mod
ern method of exchanges for women's work,
where products may be sent for sale; bnt
by far the larger part of country girls look
to the city, and they almost unanimously
prefer almost any work, however poorly
paid, rathor than domestic service. Among
the occupations represented at a woman's
meeting were these: Artists, bookfolders,
bookkeepers, boxmakers, candy makers,
carpet sewers, carpet weavers, cashiers,
chair sealers, cigarmakers, clerks, com
panions, copyists, dressmakers, engravers
(wood and metal), feather makers, Cower
makers, fur sewers, gold polishers, hair
dressers, housekeepers, jauitrcsses, ladies'
maids, medical nurses, milliners, mission
aries, musicians, nurses, passementerie
makers, photo colorists, proofreaders,
saleswomen, scarfmakers, seamstresses,
silk weavers, spectacle case makers, stenog
raphers, straw workers, students, tailor
esses, teachers, telegraph aud telephone
operators, typesetters, typewriters and up
holsterers. Many of these country girls get imposed
upon and have to go to the Working Wom
en's Protective union to get their wages
collected. The lady superintendent says
that many country girls are constantly ap
plying there for work, and the stereotyped
reply by tho society is "Stay at home if
possible." One of the latest claims placed
in the hands of the society for collection
was that of a poor country girl who had
been engaged as a typewriter and stenog
rapher by a clergyman who failed to pay.
There is undoubtedly a considerable num
ber of plucky, clever, hard working young
women who come to New York and make
their way by patient plodding under diffi
culties to profitable employment. They go
about it in a business way. They have no
time for frivolity. They join various socie
ties for mutual improvement. They know
how to study. They take advantage of the
public libraries and art exhibitions. ' They
are not afraid to go out unattended by men.
They may be seen in couples going to the
concert or lecure or chnrch or theatre.
They go aloug about their business, and
are unmolested. It is a great credit to the
city that so many women are able to go
about the city in flie evening without es
corts, so long as their demeanor is decorous.
New York Sun.
The Somnambulist Had tha Drop.
Louis Franz, the night clerk at the
Grand, relates the story ot a narrow escape
from the dream wrath ot a somnambulist.
"You see," said Louis, "an old mining
man took a room one night, and some hours
afterward, as I was doting behind the
desk, I was startled by hearing footsteps
shuffling down the stairs, I looked up and
saw my friend, the mining man, with a bIx
shooter in his right hand. Uo walked right
over toward me, his eyes staring blindly
and almost starting out of their sockets.
It is bard to tell what thoughts flashed
through my brain as he approached. What
could he mean, and was I alone with a
maniac? He walked up to my desk and
took deliberate aim at me.. I expected him
to follow the action with a couple ot shots,
and so I dodged down behind my desk and
rang for the police.
" 'Fork over that $300, young fellow,' he
cried; 'yon don't run in any cold, deck on
me and get away with the spoils.'
.. "Of coarse I knew the situation imme
diately. He bod been 'done up' in a game
by some card sharps, and bad been dream
ing the matter over until the operations of
bis mind, led him la his sleep to seek re
'dreesof his grievances. I 'know It would
take some moments for, the police to ar
rive, and time was very precious just
then. - -
" Til pay you the money 1.' I yelled. 'Put
down, that pistol and you can have yeur
blasted three hundred.' ..--; ;
"The miller lowered his weapon. ' 'Come
this way,' said I, and he followed me into
the barroom. Behind t he bar was a big
dish ot water. . I fumbled a moment with
the money drawer to deceive the murder
ous looking sleeper, and then, quick as a
flash, I threw the basinful of water into
his face.'
"He yelled, dropped his pistol to the
floor, rubbed his eyes a second, and then,
fully awakened, begun to look around. He
begged a thousand pardons when I ex
plained matters to him, and told me how
he had gone to bed wishing that he could
get hold of the man who had played an un
fair game with him in a hotel east of the
mountains." Seattle Telegraph.
A Study.
I saw a sweet faced young lady seated in
a car the other day oblivious to the pres
ence of all other passengers as she studied
away from the pages of an open book lying
on her lap. She was not more than eight
een years old, slight of figure, and while
apparently in good health was not strong.
She wouldn't bo able to do general house
work. Two or three days' service behind
a counter would in all probability com
pletely prostrate her, while steady employ
ment on a sewing machine or piano was
beyond tier physical reach. As she studied
I concluded, realizing that she had a gen
eral air of refinement and Intelligence, that
her aim was to fit herself as a teacher.
Just then she closed her book, and on the
cover I read the title, " System of Pho-
nograpy."
Then I understood that the young stu
dent had carefully weighed her mental and
physical resources lu the selection of an
occupation and chosen that which seemed
to her most suitable. Then I called to
mind a numlier of acquaintances who are
expert stenographers and typewriters, ai-d
work ten hours a day for salaries ranging
from six dollars to ten dollars a week, who
claim that their work is very exacting
mentally aud physically, und who ure con
tiuually wishing they bad - chosen sonit
other occupation. After all, this habit of
working for a living is an objectionable
practice viewed from any standpoint. De

For Destroying Farm Rubbish.
A prairie burner for burniug fire brakes
has been patented in Canada by K C. Rice,
of Mandan, N. D., which is constructed of
heavy sheet or light boiler irou und made
any size desired. Inside the box is a set of
gas generating burners, using gasoline,
which makes a solid, intensely hot fire.
The blaze Is forced aud held to the ground
by an iron draught apron, which operates
similar to a high wiud and consumes all
inflammable matter over which the burner
passes. It will burn a brake over any kind
of laud, up hill or down, side hill or level
groand, at the rate of about twenty miles
per day, at an expense of from nineteen to
twenty cents per mile, according to the
gross to be burned. Behind the fire box
are iron trailers, which put out any spurks
or coals which may by chance escape from
the fire box. New York Telegram.
