The Dark Continent will soon be dark no longer, for a railroad is. about to make a permanent opening into its interior. In August last the first sod of the .British East African Company':] projected lino from Port Reitz, on the coast, to the Victoria Nyanza was turned by the wife of the British Consul -General at Zanzi- bar. The line will be COO miles in length, will cost $3,000,000, and when completed will be the great trade route to Central Af- ica. Port Reitz, which is north of Zanzibar, is the best natural harbor on that part of the coast, being land -locked and capable of holding a large quantity of ship- ping. This is, doubtless, but a beginning of railway enterprise Central Africa. STRANGE THINGS EATEN. Seaweed says Dr Brespi, is eat- en on the coast of Ireland and Scotland in vast quantities, and though unpalatable and flavorless, is at times the chief food of the poorest. When dry it is richer khan oatmeal or Indian corn in nitrogenous constitutions. and takes rankamongthe nutritious of vegetable foods. L;lven is an ex- ception to the low estimation in which seaweed is held and is a favorite condiment. We have known it eaten in large quanti- ties in North Denvor, and with much relish. o prepare seaweed for the table it should be steeped in water to get rid of the salt with which Ytt is impregnated, and a little car- bonate of soda, removes the bitter taste, which to some palates is not disagreeable. It should then be stewed in milk and water till mucilaginous, and is best flavored with vinegar or pepper. Fungi are almost everywhere largely eaten, though in England less at- tention is paid to then than they deserve, and few kinds ap- pear at table. A curious error is to suppose that fungi are eatable and toad- stools are poisonous; no such line of demarkation exists, nor strict- ly speaking, has the name toad- stool any precise meaning. Very Fnany fungi are edible, and the common agaric usually eaten in England is not the most palate - able and wholesome. Few foods are more savory, end none are greater favorites, than well -cook- ed fungi, and the souls of vegetar- ians yearn for them. The most repulsive food which human beings could eat is man. Fortunately, cannibalism, though once very general, is now mainly confined to the moat degraded tribes of the South Sea Islands end to same districts of Australia and Central Africa. Lindsay, of ' Rinscottie, relates that a man, his Wife and family were burned to deaths on the east coast of Scotland for eating children which they had stolen. During the French Revolution the heart of the un- fortunate Princess Lambally was actually torn out of the body by one of the yelling savages near, taken to a resturant and there cooked and eaten. The locust is an article of diet to this day, but only of the very poor; it is thrown into boiling water and eaten with salt. To live on locusts and wild honey enlivens a more accurate picture of extreme poverty and frugality, to a travellor in the east than to any one else. Locusts, how- ever, aro not always cooked, sometimes they are eate,,,n fresh. They are said to have a strong vegetable taste Atm flavor largely depentling, as might be expected, on the plaints�,on which they have 'been 'Toeeding. .Dr Livingstone, who ale ed his i ommon sense by not being�oo fastidious,considered them palatable when roasted, Soule of the savage tribes of South America are accused of eat- ing everything that by any possi- bility will support human life. Humboldt saw children-. drag en- ormous centipedes from their holes and crunch them between their teeth ; but insects and their larvae are favorite foods in many parts of the world. In theWest Indies a large cater- pillar, found on the palm tree, is reckoned a great delicacy -and why not, let us ask ? To our civilized taste, however, carrion and bad eggs seems food which no human being could relish. Not so, the Chinese prefer stale to fresh eggs,and the Pariahs of Hindostan fight greedily with the dogs and jackals for putrid carri- on. They would relish the mu- sette, a kind of bat plentiful in Java, which the natives value ; but although its flesh is white, delicate and tender, it generally smells strongly of musk. The Nagus also eat raw meat. • • • THE GREAT MAJORITY. Of cases of scrofula and other blood diseases are hereditary, and therefore difficult to cure. But we wish to state in the most positive, emphatic manner that Hood's Sarsaparilla does cure scrof- ula in every form. The most severe cases, too terrible for description, have yielded to this medicine when all others failed. If you suffer from impure blood in any way, ta'te Ilood's Sarsa- parilla.

Begorra, Mary had a little shape, And the wool was white completely; And wherever Mary would stir her stomps That young shape would follow her sedately. It is reported that Mr John Carling will be Manitoba's next Lieutenant Governor. A peculiar point of law has just been pronounced upon by Justice McMahon at Parkville, N. Y., the question whether the hen that lays the egg or the hen that hatch- es it is the mother of the cbick. The question was almost exhaus- tively discussed. The arguments in favor of the hen that lays the egg, when looked at from several points of view, were quite over- whelming, but from a practical every day aspect,the matter is not quite so clear. The two eggs about which the suit was carried on be- longed to farmer McCaughn, but were laid on the premises of a neighbor, Farmer Gormley, who at once placed them in the nest of a sitting ben of his own. When the chicks emerged Mc- Caughn noticed that they were of the same breedaas his own chick- ens and laid claim to them. The claim was not admitted, and so a suit was entered. The judge de- cided for the plaintiff. There are obvious considerations in the case which make this decision open to critism, but it is unlikely that the case will be appealed to the Sup- reme Court and a really authori- tive utterance be mado on the main issue involved. To avoid catching cold, many plans have been suggested. Probably if one never went away or did anything out of the usual routine of life, they would be free from the many ailments that flesh is heir to, but this is not a wig - factory solution of the question. Peo- ple must haverecreation and enjoyment and frequently catch cold in the pursuit of them.

WOMAN'S INTUITION. NEARLY ALWAYS RIGHT IN HER JUDGMENT IN REGARD TO COMMON THINGS. An old gentleman over seventy, came into the city from his farm without his overcoat. The day turned chilly and he was obliged to forego his visit to the fair. To a friend who remonstrated with him for going away from home thus unprepared, he said: "I thought I was going to be warm; my wife told me to take an overcoat, but I wouldn't. Wom- en have more sense than men any- way 'frank admission. Women's good sense is said to come from intuition ; may it not be .t`rat they are more close ob- servers of little things. , One thing is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on the head( in ell the ordinary problems of life, more frequently than the lords of crea- tion. "According to Dr: Alice Ben- nett, who recently read a paper on Bright's disease before tbePen- nsylvania State Medical Society, persons subject to bilious attacks and sick headaches, who have crawling sensations, like the flow- ing of water in the head, who are 'tired all the time' and have unex- plained attacks of sudden weak- ness, may well be suspected of dangerous tendencies in the dir- ection of Bright's disease." The veteran newspaper corres- pondent, Joe Howard, of the New York Press, in noting this state- ment, suggests : "Possibly Alice is correct in her diagnosis, but ,lt,ewn't she give some idea of treat • nn1/4;;.t ? I know a man who has been 'tired all the time' for ten years. Night before last he took two doses of calomel and ye3tet-- day he wished he hadn't." A proper answer is found in the following letter of Mrs Davis, wife ot Rev. W J Davis, of Basil, 0., June 21st, 1890 : "I do not hesitate to say that I owe my life to Warner's Safe Cure. I had a constant hemorr- hage from my kidneys for more than five months. Thi physic- ians could do nothing for me. My husband spent hundreds of dollars and I was no relieved. [ was under the care of the most emi- nent medical men in the State. The hemorrhage ceased before I had taken ono bottle of the Safe Cure. I can safely and do cheer- fully recommend it to all who are sufferers of kidney troubles." r -•„ The retaliatory policy of the Mexican Government against the McKinley Bill has begun, and the effects will be severely felt all through the Western States. Be- ginning with Thursday a tax of $500 a car -load on horses or cattle imported from the United States will bo enforced in all Mexican ports. Cattle and horses sent across the Rio Grande Tuesday and Wednesday by unsophistica- ted owners were subjected to these duties. The consequence is sev- eral loads have been seized. The Mexican congress also passed a retaliatory tax of $2.50 per head upon importations of hogs which have been mostly shipped to Mexico from Kansas City. As there are no hogs • of any value raised in Mexico, Mex- ican consumers will have to pay 12?y, cents per pound instead of the present price of 8 Dents. Expor- tations to Mexico have for the present ceased. It is understood however, that they will shortly be resumed as the Mexican purchas- er and not the American exporter will pay the duty. i,- ALL MEN. roung, old, or middle-aged, who find themselves nervous,weak and exhausted who ere broken down from excess or overwork, resulting in many of the fol- lowing symptoms ; Mental depression, premature old age, loss of vitality, lose of memory, bad dreams, dimness of sight, palpitation of the heart, emis- sions, lack of energy, pain in the kid- neys, headache, pimples on the face or body,itching or peculiar sensation about the scrotum, wasting of the organs, diz- ziness, specks before the eyes, twitching of the muscles, eye lido and elsewhere, bashfulness, deposits in the urine, loos of will power, tenderness of the scalp and spine, weak and flabby mnscles,de- sire to sleep, failure to be rested by Bleep, constipation, dullness of hearing, lose of voice, desire for solitude, excit- ability of temper,sunken eyes surround- ed with Leaden Circle,oily looking skin, etc., are all symptoms of nervous de- bility that lead to insanity and death unless cured.

"The nerviest woman I have yet en- countered was here this morning,":am- tided a clerk in a State street shop t/ It Chicago News reporter. "She came here with a small parcel and the remark, '1 want this taken back, as 1 find I can't use it.' "I unfastened the wrapping and dis- govered this piece of trimming which I supposed slie bought within a few days, but you could have knocked me over with a feather when I read on the check' the date 1881. "I told her I would ask Mr. X---, the head of the department, in relation to it, and notwithstanding that nine years elapsed between the purchase and return, he took the goods back and refunded the Inoney. "Some bargain day in the dreamy long ga," continued the chatty clerk. "she probably picked up this of piece trim- ming, didn't want it, you know, but she thought it was a bargain and bought it. They say fashion repeats itself every seven years. In this instance it was nine, for that style is again in vogue." The price on the cheek was $1.60. Carefully brushing the trimming, the clerk labelled itthrew itamong 1.80 and $ a lot of passementerie. I dallied around for about ten minutes, keeping my eye upon the famous bargain, and was re- warded ta seeing it purchased by a gum - chewing woman of about thirty-five, wearing the latest millinery abomina- tion -a plaid velvet yachting cap. The dry -goods firm was ahead 20 cents by the transaction, but oh! how did the original purchaser ever manage to keep the check intact for nine years? Fer-De-Lance. One of the deadliest serpents of the tropics is the fer-de-lance, of which there are at least eight varieties. Laf- cadio Hearn says that the reptile is of precisely thecoler which will enable it to hide among foliage, or the roots of trees. Sometimes itis of a bright yellow, and one can scarcely distinguish it from the bunch of bananas within which it coils. Again, it may be black, or yellowish brown, or of any hue resembling tropical forest mould, old bark, or decomposing trees. The iris of the eye is orange, with red 1lashe ;and it glows at night like burning coal• In 11Ltrtinirlue, the fer-de-lance is ab- solute lord of the forest by day, and at night he extends his dominion over parks and public roads. The only safety lies in retnaining at home after dark, un- less one lives in the city itself, and 'it is always dangerous to enter the forest even at noon, without an experienced escort. At any momelit a branch, a root, a bunch of pendent fruit may take life, writhe, spring, and strike death to the heart. One creature, however, has no fear of the fer-de-lance. horses tremble at sight of it; dogs whine and shiver; the hell attempts to defend her chickens, and the pig otters more successful com- bat, but it is the cat who fights the monster most undauntedly. The author of "A Midsummer Trip to the Tropics" deseribas such an encounter. The cat, upon seeing a snake, at once carries her kittens to a place of safety, and then boldly advances to the encoun- ter. She will walk to the very limit of the serpents striking range, and then begin to feint -teasing him, startling hien, trying to draw his blow. How the emerald and topaz eyes glow then! They are flames. A moment more, and the triangular head, hissing from the coils, flashes swift as if moved by wings, But swifter still the stroke of the armed paw that dashes the horror aside, flinging it mangled in the dust. Nevertheless, pussy does not yet dare to spring. The enemy, still alive, has almost instantly reformed his coil. She is in front of him, watching, vertical pupil against vertical pupil. Again the lashing stroke, again the beautiful countering: again the living death is hurled aside. Nov the scaled skin is deeply torn: one eye socket has ceased to flame. Once more, the stroke of the serpent: once more, the light, quick cutting blow. • But the reptile is blind, stupefied. Be- fore he can attempt to coil, pussy has leaped upon him, nailing the horrible flat head fast to the ground, with her two sinewy paws. Now let them lash, writhe, twine, strive u 'xI strangle her: • In vain! He will never lift his head. An instant more, and he lies still. The keen white teeth of the cat have severed the vertebra just behind the triangular skull. Happy Men. The old Persians, who had many auth- ors ot singular penetration, gave the world the following proverb, says the Youth's Campanion : "There are two men in the world who are perfectly happy; two men whose minds may be at rest. The first is the wholly ignorant man, who is happy be- cause he thinks that he knows every- thing. "The second is the really learned man, who is happy because he knows that there will always be something for him to learn." This proverb suggests certain maxims which were the favorites of a Massachu- setts clergyman, now dead, and which were as follows: When a man knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is a fool; shun him. When a man knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is simple; teach him. When a man knows and knows not that he knows, he is asleep; wake hint. k When a man knows andknows s that he knows, he is wise; follow him. A scientist has beeh investigating the luncheons served by the various restaur- ants in the New York shopping district to their female clients. ile finds that pickles, fruit cake, ice cream, soda water and hot maple sugar are the viands most affected by ladies for the midday meal, and there have been no deaths reported up to the present time firom such indul- gence. The schools in Markham village have been ordered to be closed on account of tire prevalence of diphtheria. Tbur'day at Chatham Mrs Alice Wallace was placed on trial for murdering her husband with rat poison in September,1889. Mr T. Tannahill, a member of the New York cotton exchange, who lived at Englewood, N. J., has committed suicide by shoot- ing.
