M.M.D.VU, Solicitor. KONGO CANNIBALS. DESCRIBED BY A MISSIONARY WHO KNOWS THEM WELL. Their Appetite For Unman Plash Illus trated by Scene That Father Allalr Has Witnessed A Lire That Is Con. Utntly Iteset With Dangers, Fntlior Allulro, mlssluunry- apostollo to the French Kongo, wns receutly in France to nrrlor a smnll iron ateamboat o be need in visiting the mission sta tions, nnd wn pnrannded while there to ooutribnte to Le Correspnndant an acootmt of liia work and its Mold. The oonrnRoona futhora of the French Catho lic missions in Africa visit region hith erto scarcely known to white men, and, living habitually fur beyond the bound of the new African civilization, have peculiar opportunities of studying un modified aavnge life. Father Allaire fau been for ten years in the French Kongo, and for the, lust aiz years at Liranga. His home station of Liranga is sur rounded by cnnuibal tribes, nnd not on ly has he time and again declined bo- pitable invitutions to take port in a can nibal least, bat more than once be has discomcd among his neighbors a han kering after his own flesh. "Yon ore wrong," said a cannibal when the father turned in disgust from an offer of human flesh. "Yon should taste it, and after that you'd never turn away; it is so good." A cannibal, bearing aloft a bloody hunmii head, said to the father: "That is the bead of one you knew well. We ate him three days ago. He was delicious. You should have come earlier so as to have a taste. " Cannibalism is a veritable passion with some of the father's black neigh bors. Rescued slaves tell him, and he believes it, that there are in the interior chiefs who eat no flesh save that of girls and boys from 10 to 16 yeurs of age. He made a journey up the Kongo to the land of the fierce Bondjoa, strangers to bim, with the hope of buying ohildren out of slavery nnd taking them back to the mission station. When he reached Ngomboc, an agglomeration of six or seven large cannibal villages, he was constantly saluted with the words: "Bell us children. We will buy, but not sell tlieiu. " The cannibals had evidenntly beard of his mission, aud the journey was in vain. When lie was about to return, a chief invited him to anchor opposite a Tillage, saying : "Show your goods there, and my peo ple will fetch down the slave childreu to sell" The father accepted the invitation, climbed with difficulty the steep em bankment, more than 80 feet high, up on which stood the fortified village, and entered the place with an interpreter and a few followers. Sixty savages sur rounded the prfawt, and he and the chief went through the famous form of blood brotherhood, each making slight wound in his orm and permitting the outflowing streams of blood to mingle. The fatlior then discovered that there were no women or children in sight, and that the jioiuts of spears were trem bling behind the houses. The chief surl denly demanded gifts for hiuuielf and all his men. There wm silence in (he village, while the blacks bubbled ceaselessly in the sun, and the lances peeped out here and there from behind the tiuts. The father answered that he would be glad to pay handsomely for any slaves that should be brought to the boat. At this the chief .seized his left band and bade bim begone. When the fattier was ready to make the steep descent of the bank, he saw a stealthy giant just ready to lance one -of the uiou from the steam boat Hi left hand still grasped by the chief, the father aimed his uncharged rifle at the negro below, .and the latter, dropping his weapon, drew baok. The next instant the onief had pushed the father over the bank. He lay stun ned for a. second, but rose unhurt to find the savage lauoers attacking his own men, and the latter casting themselves into the river for safety. Quiokly load ing his rifle, he turned upon the attack ing party, but at sight of the loaded weapon the negroes fled. Onoe on the boat the futher found that none of his men was wounded. One, the black In terpreter, was missing, and he was soon disoovered making ready to storm -the Tillage. He declared that with two ri fles the missionary party could sock the place, and was disgusted when the fa ther refused to undertake the task. "It is curious, " mid the interpreter, "that when these people were making ready to eat yon yon are unwilling to be revenged on them. " He then explained that as the mis sionary purtj clambered np to the town the negroes were vowing to have the goods as presents or by foroe, and that when the cannibal oblef took the priest's band the savage said significantly to his men: "It U well; he has no skin and bis hand Is fat" father Allaire says that tiverj in ti part of Africa is not a thing of con stant blows. Its worst feature is the possibility of human sacrifloe at the death of a Slavs owner. The slavo at or dinary times ma go and oom as he will, subject only to the possibility of being resold or of being called to be sao fifioed In order that a dead master may have slave company in another world. Slavery la worn for ohildren than for adults, and in parts of the French Kon go children ar tuitd a money. A pi rogue is spoken of as worth so many slaves. Blare children pass through the hands of as many as SO chiefs. A na tive law makes a thief caught in the act the slave of bis captor, and it is not unusual for men to expose valuable things, and then lie in ambush to cap ture and thus enslave any one that yields to tlio temptation to steal the ar ticle exposed. Young children are seized and enslaved when found alone, and African mothers, who are most tender of their little ones, guard them with great care. A SOCIALIST CANDIDATE. Charles n. Matehett May Jinn Por Frest dent. The man who will urobably hend the national ticket of the' Boerlalist-Lnbor party in the coming presidential cam paign is Charles H. Matehett of Brook lyn. His name may be unfamiliar to the average reader, bnt ho has neverthe less been a prominent leader in his party, having been a candldute for mayor of Brooklyn, for governor of New York state and for vice president of the United States. Mr. Matehett is 45 years old. He is a master carpenter and well to do as an artisan. He is employed by a telephone company, and says that if he were nom inated he would not have time to go around the oountry making speeches, bnt would have to stick to his work. He soys Hint he would probably accept the nomination, as he would consider it an honor from a party which he expects will some day be in power. When be ran for mayor of Brooklyn, Mr. Matehett received 4,640 votes, while at the previous election the Socialist Labor party polled 3,000 votes. In 1893, when he was second on the presidential CHARLES H. MATCnCTT. ticket, headod by Samuel Wing of Mas fachnsetts, his party cast 81,164 votes. Of Hint number 17,070 votes were from New York state. As a possible presidential candidate Mr. Matehett s views may be interest' ing. "Year by year," he says, "we are growing stronger. We don t take inter. est in protection, free trade, gold or sil ver. We regard snob theories as politionl playthings. Our present labor system is eminently unjust, and the secret of the hard times is that workiugmen pro duce material at wages so small that they are unable to buy back the same products after an unjust profit has been attaohed to the price. This talk of war and patriotism is all nonsense. All men should be brothers." Mr. Matouett says that his party will make as vigorous a campaign as possible with the limited fund at its disposal. and that there will be speeches and the distribution of Socialist-Labor literature as usual. Carried His Point, At the Union depot in Paduoah the other day a man walked into the bag gage room carrying a huge three gallon buoket, loaded to the brim and securely fastened at the top. "I want to get thisibeoked to Cinoin nati," be said to the vaggage master. "We can't check anything like that,' he was informed. He looked perplexed for a moment, and then walked rapidly out with the bucket In a few momenta bo returned with a large yellow valise that bulged out suspioiously at the sides, showed his tickot, and asked to have the valise checked. The baggage master eyed lt sub. pioiously, bnt had to check it The fel low bad put the bucket in the valise and thus carried his point--Louisville Con Tier-Journal.

Matoira' Noblunaa, Two self supporting gentlewomen were recently comparing their experi ences of the past few years, and both de clared that on the rare occasions when they had been treated uncivilly by per sons of the other aex it bad been by those who were. known in the social world as gentlemen. George Meredith has made Diana of the Croaaway to say I "The English gentleman trade on bis reputation. In a third class carriage no woman is caprotsoted. "London Inn, THE CLEVER WOMAN. Two Rinds of Cleverness, bnt Only On That Reallr Pajra, "I wish I wore clever." The woman was charmingly dimpled. wore a Felix gown, was the mistress of a luxurious establishment, und was dis pensing tea to afternoon caller in cups of priceless fnleuce. Women who write" had been the subject tin Hie tapis, and the remark was a delicate compliment to the wom an to whom she handed the ten. She Wis a successful writer successful to the extent of making a good income as the fruit of unwearied industry. She bad never known the delights of dia monds or her own carriage ar a box ut the opera. Hlie sometimes spent a hard earned f 5 for a drive, but there was nei ther luxury In the carriage nor swift ness in the steeds, and she was conscious all through the drive that when she went bock to the office she would write something about the oountry in spring or the flotsam of fall foliage and flow ers with vvliich the suburban resident could decorate his house and table. If she took a $3 seat in the opera house, she rarely lost herself completely in the music, as she would have liked to do, because skeletons of paragraphs on theater hats and theater manners, on lovers who make love in the stalls as well as on the stage, and a thousand other things for the next day's paper flitted through her mind. She never bud a Fe lix gown; ou the contrary, she walked ten blocks and climbed seven stories to find a dressmaker who would make, though nt the same time mar, her one gown lor f 10. Her modest bouse was pretty, aud she was even quite famous for her petites soupers, at which one sometimes met eminent and always de lightful people, but only herself aud her one maid knew at what cost of pef spiring brow nnd smutched finger and aching buck those dainty little dishes were evolved. So there was almost reverence in her tones as she replied : "My dear, you nre the clever woman; you are far more clever than George Eliot. The really smart woman is not the one who makes ber own duiy bread, even thongh there be a Nessol. rode puddiitg thrown in now and then, It is she who, without raising ber hand, can cause all this luxury to be laid at ber pretty satin shod feet. It is like eat ing a Delmouioo dinner and lamenting that you are not the chef who cooked it, Not the woman who works, but she who gets all there is in life without working, is the really clever woman." "May there not be two kinds of clev erness?" said the woman who came t make ber adieus. New York Herald. MEN WITH POOR MEMORIES. Names of Friends and Even Servants Sail Uenly Forgotten. An amusing instance of aphasia was that of an old country gentleman, who retained in his employ a large number of servants, most of whom he bad known since childhood. Wishing one day to suddenly summon his butler, he found that the man's name bad for the moment, as he thought, escaped him. He determined to call his footman, but to his surprise he discovered tliat he could no more re. member the man's name than the but lor's. He was all the more astonished when he found that he bad entirely forgotten the uuutca of every man and woman in his service. He had also forgotten the names of bis most intimate aoqnuintanoes, and so set about providing substitutes. Every man wan known by bis peculiarities certuiu person of rank in the neighbor. hood he called the "king" or the "queeu" or the "grand vizier;" his butler and footman were respectively "old waller aud "young waiter." Another curious instuuoe of aphasia was that of a famous Berlin physician, He wus sitting in his study one morn ing, writing a receipt for a bill, when sodden ly, after having written two words, he lost all sense of their mean. iua. He tried to write on, but found he could think of no word. He threw down his pen in despair, and attempted to speak, bnt was equally unsuccessful. This was one of those oases, however. whioh soon pass off, and in a short timo lie was uule to finish the receipt. Odds and Ends. Josiah Take to Task. "Josioh, wusu't you tolliu me that there wuzn't no Methodists in France?' "Yes, Mirandu." "Why, hero's four columns about Duaas, tho elder, and he seems to have been a bigger man than any elder we have got in our church. Guess that's another time when you didn't know what you wus tulkin about Josiah. " Washington Tribune. Information For the Teacher. The teacher was asking questions teaohors are q-iite apt to ask questions, and they sometimes receive curious an swers. This question was as follows : "Now, pupils, how many months have 98 days?" "All of them, teaober," replied the boy on the front seat Utica Observer.

Phila delphia, Times. The Sun, the Moon and the Tides. Most peoplo suppose that the moon alono is responsible for the phenomenon, of tides, but the attraction of the sun is also nn important factor. Of course tho distance of the sun from the earth is uuthinkably greater than that of the moon, but its mass is so enormous that it has considerable tide producing influ ence The force which the sun exerts is tho samo on both sides of the earth at the same time, the tide producing force of tho great orb being about four-tenths that of the moon. At the time of both now and full moons the "wane spheroids produced by both the sun and the, moon have their axes coincident" that is to say, the two great orbs unite their energies on tho fluids of our planet and as a result tho tides are higher than, the average for the remaining portions, of tho month. Theso nre the ' 'spring ; tides."
