Thero was nothing to do except to send small Ipnrtlos up and down tho rlvor in search of In native bridge. Fivo mon woro dispatch ed in both directions. In nn hour ona iiarty returned with the report that thoy had encountered a swamp which thoy could not cross. Tho fato of tho expedi tion now depended upon the success of fthp other party. Jlorgen was at his wits' lend, for ho know not what to do if no means of crossing tho river wero found. Ketent to tho coast was impossible, and some of tho mon would certainly perish if tho party woro delayed for boveral days on this inhospitable river bank. Fortunately ho such crisis occurred, for just as tho iparty woro beginning to despair ono of 'Morgon's faithful followors burst through pio bush and gladdened every heart with (tho ory: "Wo havo found n bridge. " J A hearty cheer went up, and everybody forgot his hunger as ho shoulderod his jload and foil into lino. Through tho brush thoy strugglod up stroam, and at last thoy reached ono of thoso suspension bridges mniio by twisting together the lloug, tough stems of climbing plants that joro occasionally found in troplcol west Africa. It was a flimsy construction, like kill thoso affairs, and the men looked at it (dubiously. Tho sun was sotting as tho first throo mon passed over with thoir loads. As tho socond detachraont was grossing sorao of tho wlthos forming tho floor broko, two men dropped through, land their loads woro lost. The broken bridgu was hastily repaired, and just as darkness fell the last man roached tho other side. It was impossible to go far . ther, and here tho foodless men tamped lor tho night.' I Uy daybreak thoy woro on tho march. Tho mon woro so weak that somo of thorn woro continually falling under thoir loads. They (had to flounder through n wide marsh in which they sank to their hips. It was noon before they emerged from tho 'gloomy forest and onco moro saw tho bluo sky, but a moro joyous sight by far was tho scores of flourishing gardons of tho (Yaunde tribe. Tho starving mon spent several days roouporatlng in this garden spot before they resumed their march. I A fow weeks later Lieutenant Morgan stood on tho banks of tho Mbam river, whoso upper courso ho was tho first white man to see. Tho only sign of llfo as ho "reached tho now found rlvor was two na tives in canoes on tho farther shoro, who quickly disappeared in an inlet when thoy jsaw him. Hour oftor hour the party lln gored on tho shoro, seeking In vain tocom jmunicato with tho natives. Canoos must 'bo obtained somo way or other. At last latter night had fallen Lieutenant Margon balled for volunteers to swim across tho Irlver and look for canoes. It was not an inviting undertaking, and somo tlmo olapsod before- two mon came forward to risk their lives in tho sorvico of ulL Wood on floats woro given to thom to buoy them up on their journey of a quarter of a mllo, and then thoy disappeared lu tho darkness. !

Just as day was faintly .breaking he heard tho dipping of paddles, pis faithfuls had arrived with two co boos, and thoy urged him to send thom Jmok with a party to a place where flvo more canoos might bo obtained. An hour later seven great canoes woro in camp, land to tho astonishment of the natlvos tho jwhlto expedition camo over to thoir coun try in the borrowed boats, whioh woro re stored to thojr owners, with plonty of pay for their use.

In a rotircd stroct of Cassel stands an old fashioned, roomy houso, tho depository of tho Natural History museum of Hesse. Tho most unique and Interesting of tho various collections is tho so called "Holz blbllothok," or library of wood, consist ing of GIG volumes in folio, octavo and duodecimo, made from treos growing in Wilholmshlro park and roprcsontlng ISO genora and 441 species. On tho back of each volumo is n red morocco shield bearing the common and sclcutlilo namo of tho tree and tho class and species to which it belongs according to Llnnauts, specimens of tho moss and lichen peculiar to it, a bit of nho rind or bark, and If it is resinous a drop or two of tho rosin. Tho upper edge shows tho young wood cut crosswlso to exhibit tho rings and pith, whilo tho under edgo Is of old wood cut In tho somomannor to illustrate the changes which tako place In tho tox turo as tho tree gains in ago nnd size. Tho top cover Is of unripe wood in tho rough; tho front edgo shows tho polished grain and also the fungi to which tho treo Is lloblo when in tho stages of decay or disease Attached to tho front edgo Is a cublo Inch of mature wood, on which is noted its specific woight when the sap Is flowing in tho early spring, again in mid summer and still again when thoroughly dry. Under this is glvon tho dogroo of heat ohtalnablo from a cubic inch of dry wood in a cubic foot of space, that given out by tho sumo quantity when it becomes n glowing coal, its dimini.shid sizo and weight when charred, and tho proportios of the tree, together with a description of tho soil in which it flourishes best. Tho interior of tho book or box contains a completo history of tho treo, especially of tho organs of nourishment and fructifi cation. Thero are capsulos, with seeds; the germ bud, with rootless and first loaves; u branch, with leaves In various stoges of development; the flower from tho tiny bud to tho perfect blossom; tho' fruit from tho embryo to its full maturity, and last of all a skeletonized leaf.

It is a fact to bo deplored that as a nation we have not moro hull days that aro really observed, but this is because as a peoplo wo have yot to learn how to rest.

The Dear, Worn Hand. Few things aro capable of touching ono with a doepor sense of pathos than tho shrunken, bluo 7elnod hand of one who is near and dear. Nothing brings a sharper pang of foreboding and a harder lump In tho throat than the flrst tlmo It strikes us that tho gontle hand that soothed our childish pains and grlofs and has gladly worn away Its softnoss and beauty In our Eorvlco is thin and withered,, with purple veins that stand out llko whipcords when It Has at rest.

Thou England cun ningly bogau to work on tho Nicaru.':uan nation itsolf. The Managuun treaty hotwocu Nica ragua and England was signed in 18G;i. In that treaty Groat Britain apparently agreed to givo up her solf assumed pro tectorate m tho Mosqnito strip and to acknowledge tho authority of Nicaragua over it. But tho ngrcemout had a loop holo that would onablo tho British to practically reassnmo their protoctorato whonover in thoir judgment it was ad visable. Tho diplomacy of Contral American statesmen was rot equal to porooiving tho cunningly devised snaro laid for them in tho treaty. Tho long nud short of it is that latoly Groat Britain has been endeavoring to tako on herself again tho protoctorato of tho Mosquito mougrols. That was what brought about the recent troubles bo tween tho Mosquitoes and Nicaragua. Although England pledged horself by tho treaty rjf 1850 witli this country not to attempt to increase her Contral Amer ican territory, but to confine herself strictly within tho Belize, sho has nev ertheless aunoxed largo outlying dis tricts and several islands that aro be yond doubt Central American territory. It is hor colonial polioy the world over. Sinco England has violatod openly the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, it only remains for tho Unitod States to go after her down thore ond protect its own inter ests. Now, what ia it tho blessed businoss of England in any shapo or form about tho Mosquito Indians? In 1800 sho ac knowledged thoy bolonged to Nicaragua. Sho is putting her fingers slyly into tho stato affairs of both Nioaragna and Honduras.

Tho completion of tho Nicaragua ca nal under tho auspices and control of tho Unitod States will do away for nil timo with Europoau interference of any kind in Contral American affairs.

Thero was latoly a race of horsoloss vohiolos from Paris to Rouen, which a steam carriage, belong ing to Count do Dion, won by travoling 17 miles an hour. It would not mat ter so much whothor wo had horsoloss oarriagos if wo could only got horsoloss trucks and oxpress wagons.
