MEDICAL
DISCOVERY
Many years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., com
pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi
ents which had an especial effect upon the
stomach and liver, rousing the organs to
healthful activity as well as purifying and
enriching the blood. By such means the
stomach and the nerves are supplied with
pure blood; they will not do duty without it
any more than a locomotive can run with
out coal. You can not get a lasting cure of
Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti
ficially digested foods or pepsin—the stom
ach must do its own work in its own way.
Do not put your nerves to sleep with so
called celery mixtures, it is better to go to
the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve
cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af
fections, such as sleeplessness, and weak,
nervous feelings are completely cured by
the " Discovery." It puts on healthy flesh,
brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the
whole system.

MILLIONS OF CANNIBALS.
PLENTY OF WORK FOR MISSION
ARIES IN CONGO FREE STATE.
Foar-Flfthß of tlie People Eat Human
Flesh—A Head ChlePs Wives and
Slaves Interred Alive.
¥R. DORSEY MOHUN,United
States commercial agent to
tho Congo Free State, has
just returned to Washing
ton after two very exciting yoars in
tho Dark Continent. He has brought
with him somo wonderful stories of
battle and adventure, a largo collec
tion of trophios aud curioßitios, and
much interesting information. Just
at present ho occupies a dusk at tho
State Department, whore ho is prepar
ing a report that will be submitted to
Congresß.
"Twenty millions of peoplo in tho
Congo Froo Stato aro eaters of human
flesh," said Mr. Mohun. "That is
about four-fifths of tho entiro popula
tion. Cannibalism is strictly forbid
den by thu Government of tho country,
but nine huudrod white mon aro not
able to exercise a very complete con
trol over such a vast number of Bavages
occupying 1,000,000 squuro miles of
torritory. Individuals aro caught in
this act occasionally and punished
with death. Ono day in last May as
I ohanced to enter a villugo that lay
on tho route of my expedition tho na
tives fled precipitatoly. I was at a loss
to know tho reason why until I dis
covered cortain evidonces of a big fam
ily feast. Thoy hnd been cooking a
man, and ono of his legs was in a pot
over the fire.
"I lost no timo in throwing pot and
all into tho river. Tho man's head
was stuck on a fence. Among thcßO
peoplo it is tho custom to keep tho
head of a victim iu this ws; for four
or five days, at tho end of which it
serves for a stow. The brain is highly
esteemed. Tho chief of the village was
tried on tho charge of cannibalism
aud aftorward hanged, I boliovo. Tho
man whom I found pottod was a slave
and had boon purchased for food.
Some of tho tribos commonly buy
slaves to eat, just liko pigß or chiok
ens, fattening them on bananas, palm
oil and other nutritious provendor,
and killing them when thoy aro iu
suitable condition.
"What do tho slaves think of it?
you ask. Well, they do not seem to
mind it very much. In Africa suoh
things arc looked upon from a differ
ent point of view. I onco saw four
teen persons buried alive, aud thoy
oxhibited tho utmost indifference to
thoir fate. A great chief lhad died,
and, according to custom, it was nec
essary that his favoiito wives and
somo of his slaves should aocompany
him to his future abode.
"A holo was dug in tho ground
about as large as a fair sized room,
and in tho middlo of it tho corpse of
tho august defunct was placed. Ono
of his wives descended into tho exca
vation and squatted at his head;
another wifo squatted at his foot, and
two moro wives disposed thomsclveß
similarly on oithor side of him. His
body was dono up in about a thousand
yards of cloth. This was an ovidonoo
of his wcnlth, for cloth is money in
savago Africa.
"In tho holo, forming a circle
around tho corpse, squatted tou slaves.
Neither thoy nor tho four wives mani
fested any concern about thoir ap
proaching fate, which thoy evidently
rogurded as a matter of courso. Up to
tho end of tho coremony, which was
quite elaborate, they did not utter a
sound or mako a struggle. At a signal
men began to throw back tho earth
into tho pit which was to bo a gravo
for tho living us woll as for tho doad.
Tho operation was ooutinuod until all
of tho unfortunates 'woro covered up
and concealed from view. While the
hole was being tilled up thero was a
continuous and uucurthly hullabaloo,
with shouting and dancing and beut
ing of tom-toms.
"Why did I notjntorfore? I was
not strong enough. My escort num
bered only a lew men, and I could not
havo prevented tho tragedy, whilo any
attempt on my part iu that direction
would probably havo cost my own life.
Tho living burial I havo described was
ou u small sculo compared with similar
sacrifices that uro made from timo to
timo at tho fuuorals of native poten
tates. It often thai expedi
tions passing through tho country find
in tho villages slaves with wooden
blocks ou their ankles. They wear
these clogs to prevent them from es
caping whilo they aro being fattonod
for eating. When thus discovered by
white men they aro always set froo.
These savages are great cowards.
On one occasion, with only four guns,
I did not hesitate to attack about
twenty villages. A mail bag was stolen
from my camp at night. I made a
demand upon tho local chiof for tho
return of tho bag. My request was
not acceded to, and so I proceeded to
wage war on tho wholo country there
about. I made my way along the
river in a small steamboat, attacking
ami burning ono villago after another.
I destroyed ton or twelve of them in
this mannor. Finally I captured tho
chief's son and eont word to his father
that I would phang tho young man if
tho bag and its contents wore not
forthcoming by tho next morning.
Tho response was very prompt this
timo. To my surprise two mail bags
wero returned to mo. Oddly enough,
I had not missed tho Becond ono.
"You will easily understand that in
the Congo Froo State, which haß an
organized government and a sovereign
in the person of tho King of tho Bel
gians, an ordinary traveler woald not
bo pormittod to make war upon the
natives in such fashion. But I had
official authority and discretionary
power, being reoognizod as represent
ing the United States.
"The Government of tho Congo
Free State bestowed upon me the Order
of tho Lion in recognition of ray mili
tary services. Of the 1400 natives in
my party about 700 woro women. I
would never go on an expedition in
Africa without taking women along.
They are most useful to carry food
and other burdens. In order that tho
men shall fight well and bocontentodit
is necessary that they shall not bo asked
to carry loads. My dugout canoe wsh
a fine affair. It was seventy-five feet
long and made from a single log.
Thoro was room for forty paddlers. in
addition to whom it carried thirty
soldiers and thoir wives—in all ono
hundred and twenty-five people,' with
baggage, eto. In this craft thus loaded
wo could go fastor than any steamer
on the Congo. A comfortable house
of grass was built on board of her.
"Tho collection which I brought
back with mo includos somo wooden
figures of mon and women, which are
fetichos. Tho natives do no exactly
worship them, but burn things before
them. In tho lower Congo, when n
person iB suspocted of theft, a nail is
jabbed into tho heart of such a wooden
figure, and tho supposition is that it
will cause tho death of tho offender.
In every tribo there is a fetich house,
in which fetichos are kept and cared
for by tho fetich man. Tho latter is a
sort of doctor, and ho will sell poisons
to peoplo who desire to get rid of
enemies."

This is tho ugo when women are

One of tho surprising things of this

Invalids Exempt From Wrinkles.
It will often bo noticed that in a
family of women ono who lias beon au
invalid for years will bo tho ono who
will proßorvo hor youthful looks tho
longest. Invalids almost always have
a certain exemption from wrinkles and
time-worn faces. This must bo duo to
the sheltered, quiot livos they lead,
tho freedom from oxcitomont nnd thu
partial immunity from cares that
touch them last of all, buing borne by
tho rost of their friends as fur as may
bo. There must be a little moral in
tho statement, too. It is not dosira
ble to shirk ono's share of work or
worry for tho sake of preserving ono's
good looks. But ono might easily
think how far those worrios and that
work may be avoidable and so emu-*
late tho serenity of tho invalid.—St.
Louis Star-Sayings.
Making Soldier Clothes to Fit.
"Does your clothing fit yon?" is
likely to becomo a common question
among tho soldiers. It has been a
custom largely followed by soldiers to
draw clothing from tho qnartormas
tor's storos larger in size than needed,
so that they could huvo it inado over
and lltted hotter to tho porsou ; but
tho Qurtermastor-Genoral thinks this
an unnecessary expense to tho sol
diers, and a few days ago wrote a re
quisition directing attention to that
part of the army regulations which
specifies that "no issues of clothing of
larger sizes than actually neoded for
tho enlisted mcD, for tho purposo of
altering them into smaller sizes can
be made," and which also makes it
tho duty of tho commanding officers
tc see that thu unmade clothing, when
made, conforms Btrictly to tho stand
dard patterns.—Philadelphia Press.

and now the doer is in a pen. Willie

LOADING A CATTLE SHIP.
A CIRCUS LIKELY TO FORM PART
OF THE PROCEEDING.
Wild Cattlo That Will Do Anything
Except Go on Hoard—Occasional
Chases in the Water.
| yHE Lo Fevre, belonging to
>I f tho Jersey City Central stock
I yards, lay alongside a White
Star liner bound for Liver
pool, says tho New York Sun. Three
or four hundred cattlo had alroady
been transferred to tho hold of tho
steamer and had made but slight ob
jection to tho process, tho gangplank
being almost level. Tho remainder of
tho hord wero to bo accommodated on
tho steamer's uppor deck, to be
"saloon passengers," as ouo of tho
ocoan drovers remarked, and getting
thorn up into their elevated quarters
was tho topic under consideration.
Tho steep ascent being pronounced
impracticable, and other gangways
with which it was proposed to reduce
tho grade being condemned us too
weak, the uppor end of tho gangway
was lowered with ropes some distance
below tho deck, so that it was at an
angle of about forty-Hvo degrees.
High board sides were affixed to pre
vent tho cattlo from jumping over
board, and up this steep iucline the
cattlo were forced, reaching tho dcqk
by a jump from tho end of tho gang
way. There was much protest in the
way of bellowing.
Two monstrous bullocks, ono a dark
red with a broken horn, tho other
dappled with white, wero first to ar
rive at tho ond of tho gangway. They
lookod up anxiously, and then turned
as if seoking somo way of escape, but
their companions wero crowding thick
behind them, and on cither sido cow
boys stood urging them on with ad
monishing blows and shouts. Inspito
of themselves they wero forced a short
distance up tho gangplank, but thero
they hesitated, and no amount of urg
ing and jabbing with long poles could
induco them to climb further. Their
eyes had tho desperato, hunted look of
wild creatures at bay. Tho spotted white
bullock advanced a stop or so ahead of
his companion. A cowboy, young
and vigorous, whoso overcoat had lost
nearly all of its outside glory from re
peated exploits amid such scones, took
advantago of this amiable disposition
on the steer's part to give his tail a
twist. This device caused tho hugo
creature to advanco a few steps high
er. Tho bullock with the broken horn
stood rooted to tho spot. lie lifted
his head and lookod over tho sido of
gangway as if contemplating a leap
overboard. Then he turned and
looked back, and seemed determined
to do anything rather than climb to
those unknown regions above. Ono
of tho steamer's crew put somo hay
temptingly at tho top of tho passage.
Tho cowboy tweaked again at his vic
tim's tail, tho others shouted like
madmen and waved thoir long poles,
and tho spotted whito steer sprang
forward in desperation and ulmost
gained tho top of tho gangway. Tho
long poles wero dug into his panting
sides. He mado a mighty effort and
grabbed a mouthful of tho hay. More
blows, more cheers, and, after pausing
irresolutely for another moment, he
mude tho final leap up onto tho dock.
In the meantime no amount of coax
ing, poking or pushing could iuduce
the red stoer to stir. Again and
again ho looked over into tho water as
if meditating a leap. Tho prowess of
his companion only seemed to con
vince him of tho impossibility of his
doing likewise. Ho glanced around
in terror, then, undeterred by tho
crowding horns at tho foot of the pas
sage, ho turnod in somo indescribable
way, though tho space seomod much
too narrow for him, and dashod down
among his companions to seek his old
quarters.
Tho men let liiin go and devoted
their attention to tho others. Now
that ono steer had scrambled up tho
steep incline it was not so difficult to
porsuado the rest to follow his exam
pie, particularly with fresh wisps of
hay as inducements. Some proved
intractable, and, after scrambling
partly up tho gangway, retraced their
steps, and created panic among their
fellows waiting at tho foot. Tho cow
boys did not pormit theso to liavo
their own way, as did tho red steer.
Thoy seized them by tho horns aud
forced them to turn and again essay
tho difficult passage. The red-cheeked
cowboy, whoso tuttcrod coat attested
his valor, was particularly efficient in
managing tho rebellious spirits among
tho herd.
"That's Dave Erricson. He's a
raro liund with tho cattle," com
mented tho Captain. "Ono night,
when wo wero loading further up tho
river, und hud a particularly wild lot
of Colorados to deal with, two bul
locks jumped overboard. Quick as a
flush, Dave was over after them. Ho
straddled tho back of the nearest one,
got hold of his horns, used thorn us a
rudder, and steered that steer exactly
whero ho wanted him to go. Wo got
thorn both back, and it was a pitch
dark night, too."
"Cattlo swim well, don't they?"
usked the reportor.
"Swim splendidly. If tho weather
if hot and they happen to bo thirsty
they would just as lief jump over
board as not. They're not as silly as
sheep, the ugh. When wo'ro loadiug
sheep, if ono jumps over into tho
water tho wholo business follow,
whether thoy want to or not. That's
their nature."
"Are tho cattlo over seasick when
thero's a heavy sea on?" askod tho re
porter.
"No, never. I never knew ono of
them to rofußO its food. Horses get
seasick, but not cattle. Sometimes
when there's a big storm all the com
partments that restrain the cattle,
and the railings to which they are
tied, are washed away. Then the
ocean drovers have work trying to
keep them in order. Sometimes every
thing is washed away, and cattlo and
all go to tho bottom ; but tho owners
don't care, bccauso each bullock is
fully insured as soon as it leaves tho
stock yard.'*
Every ono of tho cattlo destined for
shipment is inspoctod at the stock
yard by a United States Inspector,
and has a numbered metal tag inserted
in tho right ear. This is a matter of
courtesy to tho English Government,
and to certify that tho cattlo are
sound.
