R«tln( at Inyanyembe.
My march is nearly over. I have
got back into well beaten tracks and
am even occupying a house where near-
ly every Englishman who has entered
this region of .Africa has lain and
groaned over his fevers, his delays and
the thousand and one troubles inciden-
tal to African travel. Livingstone wait-
ed here with patient resignation for
months, ruminating no doubt now on
the great lake, anon on the “great open
oore of the world.” Stanley barricaded
and loopboled its walls in the war with
Mirambo. Here Cameron groaned over
his fevers rind his delays, and before mo
rises the picture of Murphy, stout and
burly, sinking with a groan to tha
ground, and Dillon, blind and helpless,
lying wearily on his oonch. In later
times Captain Carter of elephant fame
had to flee from tlio house as from a
house infected, and but a few days ago
his Scotch assistant and two Belgians
were on the point of shooting each
other with their revolvers, and, last of
all, to close this ‘‘strange, eventful his-
tory," hen lies yours truly, resting from
bis long and lonely march and feeling
as if his work was o’er.
I am at the present moment a prey
to that horrible scourge, prickly heat,
making me feel as if needles were ooz-
ing out of every pore of my corpus.
Mosquitoes by the million buzz about
my ears, but sing no pleasant love song
to my maddening brain. I am also a
martyr to certain volcanic eruptions
vulgarly known as boils, which prevent
me from sitting, lying, walking or
standing with any degree of comfort.
Then the temperature is so high that
at midday I have not got out of my
pyjamas, while to get a breath of air
I have continually to resort to the fan.

I, Clean Shirts In Germany.
The Berlin Boersen-Courier tells
about a German's invention of a paper
shirt front which is intended to up
peal to the large number of continental
Germans who wear dickies. The shirt
front has a paper collar polish and is in
seven layers. As each layer is torn off
it reveals another white, glistening
front Thus from one paper dicky the
wearer may evolve a clean paper shirt
front for every day in the week. The
dicky is made to button to any kind of
shirt It costs but 80 pfennig, or about
7 cents; consequently the expense of
clean front is but a cent a day. In view
of the prevalence of the dicky habit in
Germany the inventor has taken steps
to manufacture his compound
fronta in large quantities.

"How does it feel to ride a buck
jumper?”
Many years ago we asked this ques-
tion of a well known rongh rider on
first meeting him.
“You’ll be surprised when you try,”
was the reply. ‘ 'The smash of his hoofs
on the ground t« what yon’U notice
principally. It comes like a pistol shot,
and it’s euongh to make yonr jaws crack.
Another thing is that his head goes out
of sight altogether, between bis fore
legs. But the real job is when he goes
in for side work and tries to oatoh his
tail like a yonng dog. Even if yon stick
to him then, you’re lucky if he doesn’t
work the saddle over his head.”
“ Yon don’t mean without breaking
the girths?” we exolaimed.
“Certainly,” he replied. “Ask any
man who has broken wild horses whethor
a bad one can't‘jump out of the saddle.’
If yon can sit him till the third ‘bnok, ’
yon are supposed to be able to sit him,
bnt let me say that yon don’t always
got to the third.”
As we huve sat (and also been thrown)
by buck jumpers since then we can in-
dorse unreservedly every word of this
authority on the subject. To say one is
surprised is a mild term to employ. On
our first attempt our chief astonishment
was at the infinitesimal time it took to
reach the ground after the horse began
to “go to work. ”
Many who know anything of riding
in this (so called) horse loving nation
of ours will think they have ridden a
“buck" often and require no informa-
tion on the subject. Be assured, how-
ever, reader, that it is an exceedingly
rare thing. We have known men who
huve broken horses on colonial cattle
stations for 20 years and have never
I seen a real buck jumper.
A reason for this is the fact, which
all do not know, that only horses of
certain strains can ” buck. ” A vicious
horBe may rear and fall back on his
rid<-r, or he nmy roll on the ground and
proceed to devour him—and these hab-
its are no doubt unpleasant and not to
bo recommended (in a child’s pony, for
instance), hut if he hasn’s got the right
breed ho will never “bnok.”
One of the innumerable popular de-
lusions about horses is that buck jump-
ers which are exhibited in public, like
Buffalo Bill's, for instance, have re-
ceived careful training in tho art. Any
one who has broken horses will know
that in their wild state they require no
instruction whatever in this direction.
Tho whole art of breaking consists in
teaching them not to "buck." This iH
why our colonies supply the buck jump-
ers of tiro world. Time there is money,
and hands cannot long he Hpared for
breaking. The 2-year-old is driven into
tho yard (having possibly never seen a
man before), roped up, cast, and while
he is nn the ground a saddle and bridlo
are worked on to him. A rough rider
is put up, ho drives the spurs well
home, uud there you havo an inveterate
buck jumper for life.
Put yourself in the horse’s place, and
yon will hardly wonder at it. He is by
nature morbidly nervous, and man is a
thing almost unknown till now. Tho
horrid black object on his buck is to
him the foul fiend incarnate, and the
first step in breaking he supposes to be
the final dissolution of the universe.
In Australia it used to be no uncom-
mon thing that a man who hud a colt
to sell got. him broken in two hours bo
foro tho siilo. The whole process cost
just 10 sliil lings.
The rough rider was hoisted up, and
tho colt wont through his repertoire of
contortions, being occasionally lashed
from bebiud with n stock whip to in
snre all traces of vice being thoroughly
eradicated. By the time of the sale he
was naturally so exhausted that all at-
tempts ut "playing up” wore (for the
time being, of oonrse) out of tho ques-
tion. The mark of the saddle was point
cd out as proof positive that ho could
he ridden, uud he changed hands, guar-
anteed thoroughly qniot uud broken to
saddle. ,
Unless he was a first cIubs rider the

Dm Bookkeeper-# Beta Notre.
Ask a bookkeeper what his “black
beast” is, and be will tell yon the
monthly trial balance. Borne of yon
know what that is, of course, bnt the
majority of yon perhaps do not. Let
us explain briefly. In doable entry
bookkeeping, the only kind that de-
serves the name of bookkeeping, every
debit must have its credit—that is to
say, every item that is carried to the
debit of one aocount most be carried to
the credit of another.
Say, for example, yon buy a bill of
goods from a merchant. He enters the
amount to yonr debit on his books and
at the same time credits an account
called “merchandiae, ” this account be-
ing debited with all the goods brought
into the stock and credited with all the
goods-sold from it When yon pay the
bill, yon are credited with the amount,
and an account called “cash” is debit-
ed, because it receives the money.
This will explain to the uninitiated
the meaning of the term “doable en-
try,” and it will also explain wby,
after tbe entries have all been carried
to the ledger and balances have been
strnok thereon,.the debits and the cred-
its will agree if the books have been
correctly kept To test tbe correctness
of his work tbe bookkeeper takes off
every month a trial balanoe, which
consist# simply of the debit balances in
one oolnmn and the credit balances in
another. If they foot up the same, the
work has been oorreotly done. If they
vary, he must look for and find tbe er-
ror or errors before the next month's
business is entered on the ledger.
Yon can readily understand, there-
fore, why the trial balance is the book-
keeper’s “ black beast ” We have known
oases in which trifling errors huve elud-
ed the most caresul search for several
days and nights and even for weeks,'
tortnring the sonl of the bookkeeper
almost past endurance. Bnt he baa to
stand it, for the error must be found.

Do Metals Become TiredV
Various instances are on record where
metals, while not showing any appre-
ciable wear, have literally fallen to
pieces, and that witfaont any assigned
cause. On one occasion a steel fail,
after 22 years' contincons service on
the Great Northern railway, in Eng-
land, actually disintegrated under the
wheels of a passing train. So complete
was the breaking np that scientists
thought it worthy of investigation, dur-
ing which it was determined that the
metal had become exhausted and had
broken down, jnst as an overstrainod
animal might be expected to da This
has led to further inquiry, and scien-
tists are satisfied that metals do become
tired out. Fine cracks often appear in
steol rails, and it hus been supposed that
they are caused by the continuous con-
cussion of railway wheels. This, how-
ever, seems to be contradicted by tbe
examination of newly made rails, in
which similar line lines occur. The
idea that metals become weary, while
not altogether a new one, is to an ex-
tent a plausible one and under the care-
ful scrutiny of scientific societies will
probably bo satisfactorily explained and
settled.—New York Ledger.
Mow to Dm Blotting Paper.
It is ourious about blotting papor,”
said Mr. Dipperton, “that it lasts lon-
ger if used on one side only. I refer
now to tho small pioce of blotting paper
that we pick np and press upon the
freshly written lines by rubbing it with
the linger tips. Continual rubbing
makes tho side that is rubbed upon
smooth and oily and less absorbent. If
we turn tho blotter over now and then
and get a fresh surface and rub indiffer-
ently-on either side, wo soon get both
sidos more or less oily, und then it
doesn’t blot perfectly on either side. It
is better to use it always the same side
down, so that whatever moisture may
be transferred from tbe finger tips is
kept all on one side. Thus used, the blot-
ter will take up ink more satisfactorily
and for a longer time than it would if
wo kept turning it over.”—Atlanta
Constitution.
BLACK ROCKS.
A Story at the Early Days at tho Coa-
nellsvtlle Coal Region.
A writer in Forest and ritream soys
that Elias Blank, one of the early set-
tlers of what <1 now the great Oonnells-
ville coal r< gion, in western Pennsylva-
nia, was among the first Americans to
burn soft coal. How the thing came
about is thus described:
One night Mr. Blank was aroused by
a rapping at his door. Opening it, he
admitted a famous Indian fighter, Lewis
Whetzei), and a companion, Jonathan
Oates, commonly known as “Long
Arms."
“Friend Lewis,” said Blank, "where
have thee and onr friend been and
where bound?”
“I want to get out of here at once,”
said Whetzell, “and Long Arms is of
the same opinion. This country’s be-
witched, and Long Arms and I are
nearly scared to death.”
“Friend Lewis, thee mnst not tell
such stories to me,” said old Elias.
“Tbee knows I am tby friend, and I
have saved thee when a price was on
thy head. I know thou art a man of
courage, and friend Jonathan Gates,
whom some call Long” Arms, fears
nothing on earth, and I’m fearful noth-
ing anywhero else, and yet thou tellest
me that lie and thee are scared even al-
most nnto death. Shame'on thee so to
declare before thy friend, who loves ye
both i he were thy father!”
“No, no, Elias,"said Whetzell, drop-
ping into the Quaker speech. “I tell
thee no lie. We are scared. Yesterday
afternoon we tvero in hiding about a
mile from Dunkurd creek, und in tbe
evening we built a fire under the bank
very carefully, and we got some black
rocks to prop np a little kettle and put
them beside the fire rather than in it,
and the black rucks took fire and burned
fiercely, with a filthy smoke and a
bright light, and Long Arms said tbe
devil would come if we staid, and we
grabbed our kettle and poured out the
water and made our way here, leaving
the black rooks to burn. ”
Elias Blank was ranch interested. He
did not tell Whetzell what tho black
rocks were, bnt ho found out exactly
where tbe men hud made their fire, and
when they went away he gave them
each a new Ezra Engle rifle, a knife
and a tomahawk, with four pounds of
powder and a supply of lead.
Then he hunted up their camping
ground, found the “black rooks” and
opened a coal hank into one of the river
hills, and this coal bank is still in ex-
istence in a 12 foot vein of coal that is
absolutely free from slate und burns
like pitch.
Thought It Was Fetor.
The baldheaded man ventured a chaste
anecdote.
“A man was tolling me a good one on
Young Griffo, the Australian fighter,”
said ho. “It was wlion Griffo paid hll
first visit to New Orlonna, and as be had
a great reputation as a pug, why, of course
tho sports gave him a good time. Boms
of tbe officers of an athletic club took btni
out riding and showed him the sights ol
the town. On the way down to the loves
they passed tho old square with the mono
ment In the center.
“ ‘A very fine monument, Mr. Griffo,’
op« of tbe men said.
" ‘ W’o’s tho bloke on top of it?’
" ‘Jackson.’
Peter?'
“He thought he had struok the paradise
of prizefighters.”
And with that the session broke up.—

Who are the best riders in tho world?
Tho Australians say they are, and they
are supported by most competent judges.
South Americans claim to bo ns good,
and they are certainly good riders, hut
not so scientific. They are satisfied if
they can stick on and oven resort to
putting the spurs between the girths for
a foothold. Australians would scorn
such moans. If good riders, they will
sit correctly even under the most diffi-
cult circumstances.
Can buck jumping be cured? It can-
not, or rather we should modify this
statement, by sayiug that it can. It euu-
uot because buck jumping iaau ingrained
vice, the result of fear, and,once learned,
ia never forgotten. It can, like all other
vices, be subdued by steady work and
careful handling, but recollect that,
once these are left off, it may return.
At all events such a "reformed” ani-
mal can never bo ridden by a lady.
