An explorer describes a Central Africa (orestzâ€"“Ten miles west of the lake be- gins the only piece of real virgin forest met with. It is throughout a dense v‘lr- gin forest, and almost impenetrable. : ,consists of very large trees of many 'varieties. The upper parts are festooned with a light greyishâ€"green moss, hang- ing in long streamers, and giving to the forest 8 very fantastic appearance. When these long streamers are agilated by a storm they make the whole forest, seen from one of the hills near, look like a rough sea. Again, when the sun is verti- cal the whole forest appears dark, but when the sun is low the general effect on the sunny side is curiously light. “Inside, the silence and gloom are ac- centuated by the apparent absence of animal or bird life. There are some herds of buffaloes that make it a head- quarters, elephants visit it occasionally, monkeys and parrols are sometimes seen, and a harnessed antelope now and then appears at the edge; but the general impression is one of lilelessness.” Denseness ol Vegetation Makes It Dark at Noonday. “All the trees are bound together with innumerable lianas and creeping plants. Between the stems is a dense tangled :mass of lesser vegetation. The forest stands to a great extent in the water and mud oi the swamp. A singular feaâ€" ture of it is the abruptness with which it begins and ceases on the plain. The grassy swamp or open country reaches to the mighly'wall of trees, which conâ€" tinue in the same density from one side to the other. There is no smaller wood or scrub outside, forming a transition from the open plain to the forest. 'l'. I]. BELYEA, P.

The London Lancet, the leading medi- cal journal of the country, has pleased the Church and temperance advocates by coming out with a leader strongly condemning: the vocation of barmaid. Says the Lancet: “The vocation of barmaid is attended by perils from which young women should as far as possible be sheltered. Learning to bar has no tendency to ren- der a woman a better wife or mother; it affords her no security of employment after reaching the age of thirty; renders her unacceptable to employers of almost every other kind; it often permanently injures her health; and it exposes her to exceptional risks. If that be the case is it consistent with a due regard to the national welfare to allow the daughters -of the Empire to be offered up as sacri- fices to the Moloch of the drink traffic, or, as too often happens. to be employed las decoys for the purpose of adding to flhe intemperance by which the country Is at once weakened and disgraced. i‘ry it. all your child 1! your chfldren m troubled with worms, give them Bother vaes' Worm Exterminator; n10. sure Lnd aflectuaJ.

Goods to the Amount 0! $100,000 Were Stolen by Daring Robbers. The Paris police have succeeded in arresting a gang of 35 thieves, whose exploits were of a most audacious char- acter. They were captained by an ex- member of the Paris police, a man named Arnaud. One of the methods adopted by the thieveswastosleal goods by means of an imitation railway goods van. The van, in charge of two or three of the men, would call at large warehouses from which goods were likely to be sent by rail. They collected the parcels. s-n- tered them up in a dummy receipt book, and drove off. In this way over $100,- 000 worth oi goods have been stolen since the beginning of the year. The headquarters of the gang was on «1 piece of waste land at Levallois. a suburb of Paris, where they carried on a business as owners of a motor garage. The leaders were in the habit of using a motor car to drive to and from their headquarters. Several times the police watched their car, but were never able to trace it to Levallois. They, therefore, determined to chase the thieves in a motor car, and on Monday two detective inspectors hired a car and began following the thieves from place to place. At last, seeing that they were followed, the thieVes put on full speed and succeeded in outdistancing their pursuers. On Thursday the police determined tn be equal with them, and, securing a couple ‘0! racing machines. gave chase. The police, however, were stopped for driving at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour, and it was only when the sec- ond car came up with a police magis- trate inside that they were allowed to proceed. ' Eventually the whole gang of 35 thieves were captured, and it was found that at the garage they had a complete workshop fitted up for the alteration or stolen motor cars and bicycles. “1 am afraid it is all over between Jeanette and Jack." “Why‘ dear?” “She has returned his photograph." “You don’t mean it?"
