A little vessel having a remarkable history bus plied for years on Lake Tan ganyika. Her story illustrates the prog ress in that region from slavey toward civilization. The boat, km,'.*, a8 the Calabash, was originally a huge tree trunk, cut down by the axes of the na tives with enormous labor, ami then with ax and adz and fire molded into shape. Boats like the Calabash are ex cellent sea vessels, though in their lines they suggest rather a clumsy hippopota mus than a swan. On one of Iter voyages, after she had served as a trading canoe for two years, she entered the port of Ujiji. where she was bought by an Mswahili slave trader. For three years she plied back and forth across the lake, bringing cargoes of wretched men, women and children to the Ujiji slave market. One day a load of slaves had just been landed on the shore when Mr. Hore, who had recently come to Ujiji us an ugent of the London Missionary society, saw the little craft and decided that she was just about what he needed for exploratory voyages around the lake. He succeeded in purchasing her, and the little boat was once more launched upon Tanganyika us tho first missionary vessel on the lake.

Value of the Shilling 1600. We know that in Shakespeare's day, say A. D. 1600, sixpence a day was a fortune for any workinginan, say the equivalent of ten pounds per annum, A century earlier, before the access to America was open to English explorers, one of the Ardens of Warwickshire left an annuity of forty shillings per annum to a younger son, probably the poet's great-graudunele.
