-««tKE most boys, I bad m>
|si dreams of adventure; pet
haps I may say more than
most boys. Several of them
naturally were connected
- with a Robinson Crusoe
life on a tropical Island.
A few years after 1 bad left boyhood
behind 1 was appointed Vice Consul In
what were then the British and Ger-
man territories of the Knmenm in
western equatorial Africa. The ques-
tion of the site for my official reside tee
was being discussed by the foreign
Office, and us I had already visited the
Kameruit In the capacity of n tourist,
I was invited to offer an opinion.
I asked for leave to select the little
Island of Mondole. In Ambus Buy. On
the Island I should be safe front any
attack by wild natives,.1 should be on
British territory, lit a healthy locality,
and yet only two miles.across tin-
water from the little civilised ttegto
settlement of Victoria.
My request was grunted, and shortly
after I started for Moitdole. In INK ',
an English builder was sent out to
erect the vice-consulate lit wood, Iron
and cement.
MY HOUSE ON MONDOLE
I found Mondole Island of surpassing
beauty a little square mile of crum-
bling rock, which rose to a°lielght of
some 500 feet above the very blue
waters of Ambus Bay. To the west
was the Atlantic Ocean and the pale
blue silhouette of Fernando I*o. n large
Island with n peuk rising nearly 10,000
feet.
Eastward rose above Ambas Bay the
stupendous mass of the Kamerun vol-
cano, more than 13,000 feet above sea
level. To the south a beautifully
wooded peninsula Jutted out from tile
mainland toward Mondole, from which
I It was separated by barely a mile of
somewhat rough sea.
My tlrst residence was In a little,
two-roomed timber house which had
been built and abandoned by a PolUh
| explorer, who had attempted to found
a kingdom In the Kamerun, with Mon
dole ns his Impregnable capital.
A few natives—flshernjen mostly-
lived on the western side of Mondole
Island, but for the most part tills little
paradise of tropical vegetation was un-
inhabited by the tinman race. Distend,
it was abundantly supplied with ser-
pents.
My first attempts were directed to-
ward clearing a site for my official resi-
lence oil tile central ridge of the Island.
In doing this I had to wage an exoit
ng battle with the snakes, which had
aken possession of most of the old
tnd hollow tree trunks.
! Those snakes belonged to the partle-
1 ilnrly venomous genus of the tree
•obrn, a snake that is the source of
I qidless African legends. All over negro
Africa one bears that the dendraspls

It is further, and truthfully, cele-
brated for it- unusual t ferocity
Hree cobra will frequently fly out from
Ijts hiding place and attack passers-by
| iiiite unprovoked.
The two sexes, moreover, exhibit
I treat attachment to each other when
" nated.
On the way from the beach to the
Btlte of my projected house there was
j^ne particularly large bombax tree,
I vhieh was the homc’of a pair of these
■ tee cobras. They were from about
Tj'welve to fourteen feet long, lithe, and
|of a dark slatlsh blue above with yel-
low bellies.
| ONE DUCK TOO MANY.'
Again and again, as I passed this
tee. 1 could see the male and female
makes lovingly Intertwined, or, separ-
tel.v, mimicking some twisted branch
n rigid immobility, waiting, no doubt,
or their prey.
None of my negro laborers would lay
n ax to this tree, nor would they at
Irst let me kill the snakes, as they
predicted that the most terrible conse-
jtuences would occur—a veritable war
;f serpents. So this bombax tree was
eft standing longer than the other
egetable monsters which obstructed
he buildlg site, and the tree cobras
lecanie quite accustomed to our coni-
ng and going. They attacked no one
t first, hut soon became a nuisance
ront their fondness for my domestic
ucks.
In West Africa, at the time of which
am writing, the ntuscovy duck, a na-
ive of Brazil, was the most useful
louiestlc bird. Its eggs are excellent
ood, and Its flesh is. as most Amer-
rans know, a toothsome article of
iet.
The Inroads made by tile snakes on
hese ducks became too serious to be
olerated. One day 1 encountered the
nale snake with a ntuscovy duck half
lay down his gullet, and then and
here shot him.
Thereafter, as the negroes had pre
lifted, began a series of misfortunes.
In the first place, the female snaki ey

flew at the tlrst party of negroes who
were descending In that direction, lilt
one of them In the leg, and Ills denlli
two hours afterward, in sglte of all
antidotes I could think of. caused all
the other native laborers to take to
their canoes and desert the Island.
WHEN WE CUl' THE BOMBAX
TREE. » .
I supplied llieir place with Krooboys
from my residence at Old Calabar; hut
meanwhile I was left on the island
with an Indian steward and an Accra
cook till the English builder ufrived
with bis materials and men.
We made a determined onslaught on
the female-snake, no doubt very niticfi
the risk of our lives. We cut down
the huge bombax tree, and our im-#
ported laborers—their legs and much
tlieir bodies swathed in. felt—flew
the hissing snake with long staves
and did her to.dentb.
But it seemed that IH luek was to
continue to.fflllow me so long as I re-
mained on that island.
Prior to these events, my Indian ser-
vant, who had accompanied me on my
previous African Journejis, had always
been a very quiet, well-conducted per-
son. 'But now the poor fellow was sud-
denly seized with a had attack of
black water fever, and. after recover
ing, quite lost Ills nuyital balance, and
became at times a raving maniac.
MY DANGEROUS SERVANT. '
A strong house of logs, hail to he built
hastily for his detention, pending.the
arrival of some stgauier by which he
could he sent away to a healthier,cli-
mate. Although sillily and spare lit
build, Ills strength when seized by one
of these fits of,raving became almost
superhuman. *
One evening, as I was preparing for
bed, and was, in fact, clad In nothing
but pajamas and slippers, the door of
my temporary house was dragged open,
and the Indian servant stood before me
with flashing eyes and a huge dub,
which was really an uprooted log from
the house out of which he had broken.
After glaring at me for u moment he
said
■If you had not been such a good
master I would kill you to-night.”
Not thinking it wise to trust in-
definitely to his clemency or gratitude,
I sounded my whistle and culled up my
six Krooboys.
Very friendly relations had existed
between the Krooboys and this Indian
servant. They therefore endeavored
in tlieir bi'okett English to persuade
him to go back to the log hut.
Turning on them, however, like
tiger, he stabbed one of them mortally
and another very nearly so. The rest
of the Krooboys fled, and I was left
alone with this raving madman in the
bright moonlight on the sea beach.
Showing me the still dripping knife,
he flung it behind him into the ra,
saying as*he,did so:
”1 do that” Test I should he tempted
to stab you.”
I have never In all my life been
placed in such an awkward position.
The English builder was a* mile or
more away, all my men had bolted into
the hush, and the ottljs outward and
visible sign of legal authority was at
lift- little settlement of Victoria, two
miles across, the sea.
My tirRt thoughts turned toward the
wounded men, lit the hope that both
might he saved.
I managed to stanch the flow of
blood from the less seriously wounded
of the’ two. As to the other, lie was
stabbed in the stomach.
While attempting to restore him to
consciousness, 1 was suddenly aware
that the murderer was holding a candle
and assisting in every possible way.
He betrayed no trace of ifis recent
excitement, hut In a tone of the deepest
commiseration kept saying:
“Boor Grando! Who could have done
tills? Poor Grando!”
Under the circumstances I thought
it best to avail ‘myself of all the help
that he could render at this moment,
ami he was most dett in binding up tile
wound.
“DURING HER MAJESTY'S
PLEASURE.”
When all that could he done for the
two men with the limited means'at our
disposal had been accomplished. I had
to turn to the Indian and say:
“Now I have got to put you lit irons.”
He held out his hands quite .submis-
sively for the handcuffs.
By this time the English builder had
arrived, and one or two of Ills men
bellied to get out my boat and row
us over to the mainland, where the
Indian was put In custody.
He was eventually tried at a con-
sular court and sentenced to be “de-
tained during her majesty's pleasure.”
With assiduous .attentions one of
the Krooboys recovered, hut llte other
died.
The place of tlie Indian as general
factotum in my service was taken by a
very intelligent negro ex-slave, named
Ills movements that it was difficult
to realize wliat a truly noble hearted
creature was concealed under his gro-
tesque mask. Solomon was one of the
many wonders I have encountered >n
the negro world; had lie lived he might
have been another Bishop iTowther.
POOR SOLOMON!
He took the keenest interest I re-
member, In the revision of the Old and
New Testaments, and was one of the
flyst persons lit that part of Africa
to secure a copy of the revised Bible.
lie was a hard and steady worker,
who kept the men In order without
violence, and felled timber, quarried
stone, collected and skinned birds,
boast's and reptiles, and was always in
a good temper, ready rylth a cheery
answer to even the crqssest question.
It seemed lo me that with the ac-
quisition of Solomon my troubles on
Mondole were over. But the slaughter
of the snakes was not yet expiated,
according to the negro opinion. One
day, when Solomon had been with me
for three months, lie proposed crossing
to the adjoining peninsula to cut tim-
lier uud convoy tlm logs hack to Mon-
dole. For tills purpose ho preferred,
lie said, to use native dugout canoes
rather than my little boat.
He started parity In the morning, but
I never stftv him again. Late In the
afternoon the eiinoeinen Returned, blue

and flabby ujtli long immersion in
the water. ,
They described lionv. Just ns Solomon
had started to return with his little
flotilla *a great sea had come in from
tlio open Atlantic and swamped tlie
canoes.
This In itself was a matter of little
moment, where every native swam like
a fish, and where the contents of the
onnoes would float. But it was sup-
posed that a. crocodile or shark had
seized Solomon and dragged him un-
der.
One -result of all these worries and
anxieties was that I became seriously
III with hlaek-water fever, and was
obliged to move to Old Calabar.
On* several* occasions subsequently
I returned to Mondole and attempted
lo residg there, tor the place was su-
premely "beautiful, and possessed fea-
tures of great natural interest; hut
every time something untoward hap-
pened either to myself or to, some one
else staying In the house.
Nothing*“"occurred, it*is true, that
might not equally well have taken
place without the snakes’ Curse, in
which I need, hardly say I placed no
faith whatever.

When college girls start to hazing
they are perhaps worse tllar. the bflys.
The gentle sox can at times become de-
cidedly brutal, and yet practice bar-
barities with the most innocent air im-
aginable. For instance, a party of girl
students at Madison, Wis., recently
took charge of a student, and after haz-
ing her to a queen’s taste, left her
bound to a beam in an®attic, exhausted
and helpless. Philosophers cave often
pointed, out that man’s Humanity to

remember, if one has to read at all. it
was necessary to read in Latin, and
French was the language of courts, so
both tongues were begun early and
studied more practically ihan we now-
adays think requisite. But young
Philip's letters seem to have greatly
plesaed his father, for iu return Sir
Henry wrote a charming letter of ad-
vice and counsel, well worth reading in
full.
We can quote only a little of it. but
advise you to readmit all. As to study,
he wrote. In the old spelling:
•••Apply yowr study to suche howres
as yowr discrete master dothe assigne
yow, carnestlye; and the tyme, I
knowe, he will so lyinltt (limit) as shal
be both sufficient for yowr learnings
and saf for yowr .health. And mark

yea res growyth in yew.*0 0 * #Yf

phrase, eommyte yi to yowr memorye.
with respect to the circumstance when
yow shal speake yt.”
Cl ood advise, it is not. And yet how
differently modern father would
wyte. even if he chose the same ideas
to express. Would he not put It more
like this?
“You’d better be regular iu studying
your lessons, for you* will llnd that
your teacher knows about what you
can do without hurting yourself. I‘ut
your mind into it. and try to get the
sense out of It, and you’ll acquire a
good vocabulary as well as learn some-
thing. Then the older you grow tlie
more sense you’ll have. If you llnd
something well said, store it away, so
you can repeat it when it will tell.’

teenth and ho of the twentieth century,

The practice of putting money miller

lar “kind of human sacrifice had a

While it Is true that the obligations
of the healing* art especially, expose
the physician to infections of every
tort, it is due to him that any extra
risks should be reduced to the mini-
mum. It is a popular belief that he is
singularly prpof against contagion of
any sort,,a« if guarded by “a special
Providence for the good that he can
do to others, observes the,New York
Herald. While this \vould be a simple
act of justice Jo one who voluntarily *is
ever ready to take his chances, it is
nevertheless the fact that mortality of
medical men from strictly contagious
diseases is. greater thnu that in any
other calling of life. Why even more
do not succumb is possibly explained
by the extra precautions taken 1\\,then,
iu guarding against disease invasion,
but above all by their maintenance of
that high state of health which throws
off disease of any sort.

1'nsaiiiE of the Cattle Union.
The cattle baron of the Western
plains Is rapidly becoming extinct.
Like the Indian, he is disappear-
ing before the onward march of set-
tlors upon the public domain. There
are no longer vast tracts of territory
lie eaii#appropriate to his own uses, for
the land is being sold to farmers from
tlie East and from Europe. The
rancher is going out of business.
The cause of this impending change
is the contraction of the range and tlie
invasion of the small cattleman. The
farmers have taken up the land along
the streams where the water is found,
and while there are thousands of acres
of dry range land which afford good
grazing for part of the year, they ar«
removed from water and tlie sources
of supply are cut off by the small
farmer, who is utilizing it.
The subdivision of the great cattle
ranges into stock farms will be foi
lowed by a marked increase iu sub
Stantlal wealth and population, which
will grow from year to year and can-
not fail to give the highest develop-
ment to tlie resources of tlie State.^

Some'of tlie warm advocates of col
logo games advocate the foundation of
generous endowment funds for boat
clubs, baseball organizations, football
teams and other athletic associations
ill American universities. It is' unlike-
ly that the students would object to
the raising of such ail endowment, but j
a movement among alumni and other,
well wishers to subscribe sufficient
sums to provide for the athletic ex-
penses uf the undergraduates is not
destined to succeed right away, de-
clares tlie New York Trlbuuo. The
grand stand and gate receipts at the
best known and .most popular football
contests are extremely large every
year, and the college baseball nines re-
joice over the attendance and applause
of multitudes of enthusiastic witnesses.
Hosts of excited spectators yell them-
selves hoarse as the plucky college
crews bend to their oars, but the
amounts which flow into the treasuries
of the boat clubs are small.
Tlie Man in Love. ®
The ordinary man in love is a sorry
sight compared with his mistress. He
makes hts love conventionally and con-
tinually disappoints the woman, who
wishes" to see new lights gleam in his
eyes. He is in poignant fear of diseov
ei-y; lie has a horror of ridicule; liis^
one dread is lgst he make'a fool of"
himself. But a woman is a cheap chit
"indeed if she spends a tnought on
such nonsense: her abandon is su-
perb.—London Queen. ’

A Wesleyan minister in tlie north of
England possesses the most wonderful
ring In the world. In appearance it is
an ordinary gold signet ring, but it is.
ill addition, a perfect little musical
box. By touching a ‘iny spring, and
holding the ring close to the car, one
can hear a sweet hymn tune. By plac-
ing the ring on a' box the charming
tones of this unique ring can be heard
all over a large room.—London Tit-Bits.
Oats Growing on Sheep.
Country parsons are often nnturalists
and close observers. Tlie Rev.'W. 11.
Jonoure, lector of Berwick, Yeovil, de-
scribes a novel sight which may he
seen in his parish. A farmer lias been
feeding his sheep on oats, anil some of
tlie grain fell on tlie back of oue of the

■ I*eaclics as Fillers.
When setting out an apple orchard
for commercial purposes, trees should
be spaced thirty feet apart eu'h way.
As tillers we may use peach trees,
which are shorter lived than apples.
In many instances the apple is used
for fillers, but for quick returns the
peach is preferable, as the apple is a
slower grower. Tlie peach can till the
place for a number of years without
coming into contact with the growth
of tlie apple. These pencil trees, how-
ever, should he closely pruned ill order
not to check tlie development of the
apple trees. As the peach is naturally
short lived, we may harvest many go d
crops before removing them. For com-
mercial apple growing we should plant
only tlie good keeping varieties, siu-li is
York Imperial. MaiuiuiTtli Black Twig
and Dutton. These apples will at all
times tiring good prices, and the de-
mand is increasing annually. Not only
is the demand ill the United States in-
creasing, but Russia. Germany and
England are consuming increasingly of
our American apples.—Inland Farmer.
