WEALTH OF WEST AFRICA THAT FRANCE AND -ENGLAND ARE AFTER. The Tradesmen of fire Two European Countries Are Engaged In a Struggle For Conquest Which May Call For Ar- bitration to Prevent a War. James Pinnock, African merchant of Liverpool, who was one of the original promoters of the Royal Niger company and director many years, in the e. course of an ' to iew with a represent- ative of T. Daily ail, said: "I went out to west Africa 40 years ago and vis- ited almost every port and place in that region, -including the Niger, many times, and my business has been with west Africa ever since. In 1870 I built a steamer, called the Rio Farmeso, spe- cially for service on the river Niger, and with her I explored and opened up, for the first time in history, the ri- er For- cados. This river flows into the Atlantic and is one of the entrances to the Niger. " The importance of this great'river Niger and the hinterland is well known to those who are engaged in the African trade, but we can only expect it will slowly dawn on the mind of the British public. I am oonvinced, however, the more they look into it the more impor- tant they will see it is to the interests of British trade not to lose any of it. "Fifteen years ago there were four firms trading on the Niger. They were the West African company, the Central African Trading company (and with this latter Taubman Bros. —one of them now Sir Taubman Goldie—were con- nected), Miller Bros. and myself. We all four firms joined and called ourselves the United African gompany, which was subsequently changed to the Na- tional African company and after that again to the Royal Niger company. "The position today," continued Mr. Pinnock, "would be better understood if a good map -could be put before the public of the whole hinterland of our west African colonies. Such a thing un- fortunately does not exist at present. - The strict geography of the country is only understood by a very few. Our knowledge of the hinterland: however, ' has increased immensely during the past few years, and to instance one particu- larly large territory I would point out that the French flag is already flying at innumerable towns and stations extend- ing from 4 degrees east longitude to 2 degrees west longitude and f;'om about 6 degrees north latitude (in the neigh- borhood of Porto Novo and the Daho- mey country) to the town of Say onthe Niger, which is between 18 degrees and 14 degrees north. The English flag is to be found to the east of Porto Novo, and extending inland to the neighborhood of Nikki (now occupied by the French) to various degrees of latitude wherein are found the three British possessions and protectorates of Lagos, the Niger Coast protectorate and the .Royal Niger company. "It is from the interior, however, that the future great wealth of Africa will be derived, and if all this is allow- ed to fall into the lap of France she will be possessed of au empire second only if not equal in the future to the whole of our Indian empire. "See what South Africa has already developed into, and as far only as min- erals are concerned. The soil of Africa has not yet been barely scratched. The population of this part of Africa, with the advent of railways, stoppage of the slate trade, cessation of internal tribal warfare, swill increase in equal ratio to that of the most favored parts of the southern states of America—I mean as far as the multiplication of the negro - population is concerned. "The development of this hinterland will, in my opinion, exceed all the dreams of the most enthusiastic coloni- al party in France. Both France and England. have sacrificed many men and much money in the race to grasp this priceless treasure, and the difficulty of apportioning it will, I believe, be so great that it is more than probable, to avert extremes, it will have to be re- ferred to some other nation, or council of nations, to arbitrate an, as the mat- ter is far too weighty for easy or speedy settlement. "As evidence of the activity of the French I may point to the railway from Senegal to the upper Niger. This is being pushed forward with a further vote of 1, 000,000 francs from the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, thus cut- ting and heading off all our possessions from Gambia, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast and Lagos down to the river Niger. "A very great deal, if not the whole ' of the trouble on the Niger," added Mr. Pinnook, "would never have arisen but for the obnoxious charter given to the Royal Niger company. • By reason . of this charter every trader, white and black, British or otherwise, is entirely excluded front the country. Had the river and adjacent country been thrown open to free and legitimate -trade, as all merchants have been clamoring so long for, backed up by the chambers of com- merce of Liverpool and Manchester, all the places in question would Have long since been full of British subjects, white and colored. Trade would have devel- oped a thousandfold, and the French would never have gone near it. "—Lon- don Mail. This One Especially.

A negro's juicy appreciation of pos- sum meat was well illustrated upon a recent occasion when a lady with whom the narrator is acquainted paid a visit to New Orleans. She toldhim the story: She was walking down Chartres street early one morning, intending to visit the celebrated French market of the Crescent City, and on her way she met a very old colored man coining from the opposite direction; evidently from the market, as he was carrying in one band a possum and in the other a small split wooden basket of sweet po- tatoes.. The old man's face was beam- ing with good nature and wreathed in smiles of anticipatory pleasure. He look- ed so joyously into the face of the lady 'that she, too, could not help but smile at him, whereupon he held thepossum -up aloft and said, "Good eatin, missy, good eatin." She stopped for a moment, looked. at the childlike, happy face of the old negro - and said, "So you like possum, do you?" "Like possum, missy! I loves pos- -sum. Dare ain't no eatin like possum. De possum am good, but de gravy with sweet potatoes is better. Did you never eat 'possum, missy? Den yon didn't know what good eatin was. But mebbe you all wouldn't know how to cook Mr. Possum; fur dar's ebbyt'ing in de know how." "Well, then, tell me how you cook it," she said.. The old man set the possum and po- tatoes down on the pavement,, or, as they, call it in New Orleans, the "ban- quet," and with a look of earnest con- centration began with: "Now, don't yon never forget jest what I'ze gwine to tell you about - how to cook de possum. Well de fust . t'ing . you does is to get your possum. Dat may be easy fur you uns, but 'tain't fur me--dat is, always. Well, den, when you's dun got your possum you skins him fust. Den you puts him into de pot with cold water an put de ; pot over a hot fire, an den you parbiles -him—not too much—fur you doan't want to lose any of his nice . sweet fat. }Den you takes him out of de pot an yon ldries him in *clean towel. Den youis him into a big fryin pan. Den yon sc apes de skin off yoreF'bW et potatoes an you puts -dem into de same pan,- with . Mr. Possum. Den you has your stove red, an den you puts de pan an possum an , potatoes into de oven an den -go away fur a little while, but not too long. ' "Den when yon comes back you puts in a little hot water, an den you begins an bastes de possum an de sweet pota- - toes, an you keeps on a-bastin an a -bast - in till de possum is a good brown— jest like my color—an de sweet potatoes is soft an juicy an de gravy is almost black an plenty of it. Den yon takes it ;tut of de oven,` an den you sots de table, an den—well, den you bars de doors, fur de smell of cooked possum goes a long ways, an when you have only one possum you doan't want much com- pany besides yourself." Now, there is your recipe for cooking possum. and given by probablyoneof the 'best chefs for that dish in the world. —Philadelphia Times. MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, BEAFORTH, ONTARIO. NO'.- WITNESSES REQUIRED. ONE MILLIONAIRE'S START. He Earned Ten Dollars by Throwing the Strong Man of a Show. "Had I caught nay train that night," laughed the man who had nothing to do for a quarter of a century but sit and watch pine trees grow to swell his bank account, "I would probably be a farmer now trying to raise a mortgage and a few other things. I had gone to a little town in lower Wisconsin to see a colt that a man there wanted to sell me. I was a good judge of stock and shrewd on a trade, but a greener country lad never broke into a town. I would have walked back to the farm after I found myself too late for the train, but I saw a handbill announcing . a show that eight and couldn't resist the temptation to see it, though it did cost a quarter. "In my hilarious appreciation I was more of an entertainment than theyhad on the stage, especially as I was utterly oblivious to the fact that I did not look like any one else in the __audience. To- ward the end a, huge fellow came out, tossed cannon balls in the air, held men out at arm's length - and lifted heavy weights.

I turned hot and cold during a few seconds of intense silence. Then I sprang up, and, as I Dame out of niy old blouse, shouted, 'I'11 go yon, b'gosh 1' - There was a roar of laughter, and- then some of those about me urged me not to go up there and have my neck broken. But one =old man told me to go in. It was a tough jdb, but I finally threw the giant almost through the floor with a hip lock. There was a little hesitancy about giving me the $10, but the crowd shouted till I got it. Then the old man took me home with him, and in a week I had charge of all the teams in his lumber camps. In time I became a partner, and he cleared the way to make me rich. That was really a match for a million. "— Detroit Free Press.

It is not generally known that the de- partt sent of agriculture has a menagerie in connection with it, but such is the case. The menagerie is plot a very large one, nor does it contain} any rare or strange animals. Most Of them are of the domestic variety. It is apart of the division of animal industry, and the animals are used to develop interesting cases of disease and to illustrate the effects of an epidemic of a particular kind which the division may wish to experiment on with a view of stampingit out and to test various kinds of foods of which a trial is thought to be efficacious. Comprised in this eplleotion of ani- mals are rats and mie, guinea pigs, rabbits, different_sorts of fowls, some cattle and sheep and a few others. - The larger of the animals / are kept at the breeding place of the department, on the Benning road, while others are dom- iciled in the basemen of the division of animal industry lab ratory, near the bureau of engraving and printing. Down in the -basement, under the lab- oratory, which was visited recently by a reporter, were seen a number of coops and cages, in which were grouped guin- ea pigs, rabbits and chickens. The animals seemed to be erfectly at home and formed a seemin y happy family, as some guinea pigs ere in the cage with rabbits. -One of the little white and black creatures was nibbling at the, - whiskers of a sleepy looking rabbit, which blinked contentedly, as if it en- joyed the operation o> was too Lazy to resist any trespass on the part of the guinea pig. , A dilapidated lookipg chicken, which had much the same appearance as has a tramp who has Beenorced to saw wood for a meal at a "friendly inn," rested on top of a c`age..TI $ guinea pigs seem- ed to be the life of t e place and ran in and outwith apps ently little • or no concern whether "s hoof kept or not." ' On some of the cages where the rab- bits were confined,] printed in large black letters, was he word "rabies." Upon the cards als were the warnings to the attendants t d others not to put • their -hands in thoages. This meant that the animals tie been inoculated with hydrophobia/ virus, and it was therefore dangerops to handle the ani- mals. A further 1 precaution taken in such cases, it is said, is not to inoculate animals carnivor us by nature, as they become terribly erocious, or any ani- mals whose chief i Bans of defense is by biting. . A cat or dog, for instance, will strive to bite when affi)cted with the disease, while a rabbit, hioh is purely a vege- tarian,• will simly mope and die with out making anyiresistance.

The parsimony of foreign celebrities who come to 'this country has been fre- quently ami sing to Americans. There have been sore very striking instances of it in receyears, but the mother of Mlle. Cleo de Merode seems to have car- ried off the palm in this respect. Sal- vini, it is std, was so penurious that he bought a sandwich on the street for 5 cents rather than pay for his supper at a hotel, and one of the stories told about him on his' last visit to this country was that once in Philadelphia he gave the porter of 'hotel a penny and told him to buy hind three tacks. The actor had discovered that his trunk was damaged, and he wonted to repair it himself. Tamaq a was notorious here; for his etingines It• was said that he !sold the tickets sent to him in view of his artist's privilege/and hired his own brother as a valet bee use he:could be got at a cheap figure. Then he used to make him roll his trunks around on a truck at the for- eign custom houses rather than pay the porters a fee for the. work. Herr Van Biene arked as a curiosity and sent back to/England a hotel bill of fare on which ire had marked the price, $1.50, for a tOderloin steak as one of the won- ders of an extravagant and youthful oountr . It may have been nothing more ban good business judgment which prompted Mlle. Calve to look for a bassi ess manager while she was here and tit n express the greatest astonish- ment that such an assistant of the most capablie kind could not be hired. for $10 a week. . Th se are some of the stories told 1 about the highly paid foreigners who I come o exhibit themselves here. But Cleo' mother holds the record. It is s said t at she astonished the servants at the perial hotel by washing her daug ter's clothes in the bathtub and ironit�iigg them herself., On the day before they tetnrned to Europe the ballerina and her mother were seen on lower Broadway. They had gone down to one of the exchange offices in order to get $100 in French money: It was raining. An acquaintance met the two just as they were coming out of the office: "Why, that wretch inside," ex- claimed the mother indignantly, "wants to give me only 517 francs for $100." Then Mme. la Mere de Cleo de Merode put"op her umbrella with a mighty em- phasis and stepped out on to the side- walk. "Why, a man offered me 518 'up town. But I thought I could get 3,,20 down here. Now we shall have o walk up town, for otherwise there wi 1 be no profit left for ns." Then Cleo d er mother started to trudge up tow he dancer received $9, 000 for her ap r antes here.—New York Sun.
