His name ts as familiar an that of Livingstone, with which it is closely connected in the popular mind, or as those of Sir John Franklin and Dr. Kane used to be; and everybody knows that be went into tbe heart of Africa and found Livingatone when the world believed tke great mhunonnry-explorer dead. But Stanley has done greater deeds than this. His search expedition was undertaken at a time when comparatively little was known of tke vast interior of Africa. The great lakes kad been visited. Livingstone kad crossed South Africa, discovered Lake Bangweolo and the grandest falls in tke world Victoria and bad explored tke eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika; but the sources of tbe Congo, most of the country through which it runs, and its wonderful tributnries were unknown. Stan ley, beginning where Ligingstone left off, baa done more for geographical science, civilisation, and commerce thfcn any other African, explorer. He and Livinpatone, and Cameron, nnd Burton, and Speke have made the work of the cartographer far different from wbat it was known In tke days of Swift, when PVVgnBWfSvV m A1FN' Sftf WMfc Mtane Stttm Ml their aft; Aaa o'er aaheMtaMe aswaa Ma lUpfciMU far want et Wm" Steamers now ply on tke waters of the Upper Congo and Ha tributaries, which afford an aggregate of seven thousand miles of navigable streams. A railroad is already planned round the ranids of the Lower Congo to Stan ley Poo), and miseionnriea are advanc ing, with purpose of peaceful conquest, into the very heart of tke "Dark Continent." Even women. European women; are traveling tke route which, before Stanley accomplished it, tbe world hardly expected white men would ever succsssfally undertake. Stanley kna made it possible to establish legitimate commerce witk the populous and productive interior, and in the near future to reach tke seat of tke abominable slave traffic, and break it up, to civilian the people, nnd to give them the Gospel. Simply as the founder of the great Congo Free State, to the developement of which tke King of Belgium in devoting much of his thought and his royal fortune, and for the maiatenuuoe of which, for the heneat of the whole world, the power nnd iafuence of the great nations of Bnrope are pledged, Stanley has earned the gratitude of the civilined worm. All this and much more ia due to Stan ley; yet I suapect this is much less widely known Hmn the faet that he found Liringatone. The former M present history to which every day is adding something; tke latter is an event complete nnd fixed. Livingstone, the idol of Christendom, has gone to his rest, not only admired for kb great aektcveMt, but loved, deeply loved for his "owe nature, his broad human sympathies, Ida sublime sacrifice for Africa. Stanley is n man of different mold, but the world owes him n greater debt al ready than H owes Uvingstone, ami he yet a young man, comparatively. Stanley' sudden recall from tins country liv hi roval emntover. the King of Belgium, will prevent,' at least wr some tisne, thousands of his conn trymon front looking upon the African ffporer and rfriliaer. He is one of tiw great men of the age; certainly "w greatest explorer of the century. d H can never be n matter of indifle multitude to ke in the prase imm of auek n mnn, aspecmlly as he kna brought sue honor to the Ameriean nuutu. .

air of diemitr and distinction wkkh otherwise we would sometimes miss in young men wkose names are associnted with sreat deeds, it is as n crown 01 honor and wisdom and gentleness. Stanley's life in tke wilds of Africa atnomr wild beasts and wild tribes, wRh the comforts, tke. society, the in fluence of civilisation entirely wanting, in almost constant peril from a variety of sources, ami entirely absorbed in the great task before him, offered little opportunity for the cultivation of tbe srraces, the sympathies, tbe amenities of refined existence though ke has ksd plenty of royal and noble society ia Europe. A man's face must reflect in some decree tke character of his com paatoaakip and experiences, and so it ia with Stanley's. Tbe ekaractoristk! which most im presses you before he begins to talk, is sknmtl determination, xon eec itta the lines of his firm-set chin, in the full, bull-dog-like cheeks, in tbe earetossly cropped hair, in ths short, compact, iron frame, and in the full, weU-hardencil muscles. Ton see ntitl more of this dogged determination in the play of the muscles of the mouth in speech, which constitutes bis chief facial expression. He should kave clear, penetrating eyes, mst I must confess 1 neither noticed or thought of bis eyes when I saw him and beard him speak last December. His figure, his bearing, bis qick commanding tones, kk thin and bis month, especially the month, seemed to me. as I looked and isteued for men will listen when Stanley talk to be the doewire eb m the make-up of the man. His hair and mustaohe, are now ths of the raven, nnd yet color-art does not proclaim Hself to the uninformed observer. Why ke should think it wortk while to practise this little deception I cannot imagine. He could not possibly look like an eld man with so ruddy a countenance; and the Beet of white kalr would only brightHa Meaainsr. healthful glow. But Stanley has aa good n right to a whim or two na other men. lie mtgai. nave fancies far more objectionable. The picture I have spoken of repre sents him as he appeared in 1877, soon after ha eetetwed on the nest toMt from kk terrible experience on ths Congo witk ferseious savages and famine. Tke difference between this and the picture in the first volume of the sums work token in Xarlead. in 1874, Wore he started on his memorable jour ney from ocean to ocean, is most striking. In those three years (the time occupied from Xanmnar to ine mouth of the Congo was nine hundred dan ninety-nine days), hm hair became rhito under the awful strain, ami lines of struggle aa if with nge and dis ease were stamped upon his iaee. His visit to this country last tali was not for rest nnd renewal of okl ac quaintance. Whatever ties he wsy kave bud here before ne went uor in the employ of tke Ifsw York JfernW, time, kis long: absence, and the nature of his pursuite must nave weakened or serrered, and he is too mack of a oosutopolttan to suffer much from iHHue-nkkmess. When br- is not on the Congo, or in tbe heart of the Dark Continent, ke is in London or on the Na wrote kis last book, "The Congo,1 in London, after tke close of the famous internnttona! conference, at which the eeheme of the Congo Free State and of the free none was considered and nppreved.

But n abort trial of the moat aamrored Pariehm pia eonvineed him, he aaya, that It wna "productive of nothing but lorn of Unee, hoalth and ueefwunae. me trieu fmom aen ame reoorta with lend, where by indulging In plenty of wnlking and elimmng be regained Mf health and apirita in three weeks. "With rnmt, u-mA ttMkk. 'Htur(V b. wry of lounging unbearnme.' am no it in negotiation with eoautUstonert of King LeoeoM for nnotner trip to the Congo, nnd the aeeompiiekrHnt of one of the moat ulficnlt feaia ; evM- attempted In Afrien, the building; of a highway around tke eatnraU of tka Iower Congo to Stanley Pool. The objeet for which he ennw to America was to add to his financial resources. He had planned n lecture tour in America nnd Australia, wliieh would have proved very remunerative, if Belgium's King kad not interrupted it at the very beginning with a peremp tory order to return at once, which Stanley, though a sort of deapot him self, would not venture to disobey. Hia is tbe kind of life which enforces tbe necessity of obeaienee. lie waa receiving two hundred and fifty dol lnrs a lecture, and drawing large audiences. On arriving on the other side he re ceived a cable dispatch offering him forty thousand dollars to return and fill a list of engagements. His style 01 speaking is very simple and very en tertaining. He uses no notes. He makes no pretense to literary finish. He kna a history to give full of an ecdote ami adventure, and he gives it ctoarlv. Jiuently, impressively. He is n good story-teller, and has the feminine art of repeating the questions ami answers of a conversation illustrative of some point of expsrienoe, instead tance of the minor touches in making n lifelike picture. The quick wit and skrewdness. which so often relieved desperate situations among the warring tribes of Africa, he cannot concern. He telle witk splendid effect How, when he had put together tke vessel whieh he had transported in pieces on tbe shoulders of carriers from the const to Victoria Xvanxa to be used in oir euninavisratinr that creat lake, kis men, tke Wangwaaa. stood round in nwe and amazement, nnd eonkl not be induced to go on board tke floating wonder. Addressing them ke calleti for volunteers to go witk him on tke (vessel to kelp navigate her, but he got no response. Finally tnrninc to one who stood near kirn ke said: 'Wont you go?" "Oil, no." "Why?" "When I look at tbe water it goes 1, tee, see, and my heart K. goes see. free, tee." At one place on the bake so many of tke natives, in their eevnoes, gatberea around tbe craft containing tke strange white mnn that be could not get away. He could not drive tkem off; but ke used a Httie ruse most effectively. Taking his revolver be fired several shots in quick succession, into tne water nnd instantly the canoes were emptied, every man plunging keadlong into the lake, like so many frogs, to find the bullets. His courage, whkh nothing could daunt, kis tact, kk patience and kis sciupuloMS honesty in dealing with tke natives saved kim and kis expedition scores of times from disaster. There were some very trying momeats in bk trip through the Dark Continent, when the least sign of wavering or fear would kave cost kim his life. On ids memorable trip down tbe Congo ke kad battles every day with the furious savages, from tke point where ke embarked almost down to Stanley Pool. When ke reached the Aruwimi, on that drsadful passace, he could count ne fewer than twentv-eisrht desperate combats he bad fought "with tke insensate furies of Snvsceland," nnd he felt like a hanl-ureesed stasr. almost kopeless of - C77- - He writes: "We also knd labored strenuously througk ranks upon ranks of savages, scattered vera score of flotillas, had en dured persistent attacks, night and day while strurzlinr througk them: had re sorted to all modes of defense, nnd vet at every curve of this fenrf ul river the veils of the savages broke loud on our ears: the snake-like eanoee darted forward Impetuously to tke attack, wkik tke drama and horns nnd shouts raked a fierce nnd denfening upronr, We were becoming exhausted. Yet we were still only on the middle line of the continent! We were also being weeded out by unit nnd two and threes. There were not thirty in the entire ex pedition that hud not received a wound. ToMiHtiuue this fearful life was not passible. Some day we should Ik? down and offer onr throats to tke eannibal butchers." These horrid savages fought for ku nuut flash and plunder. At every on set the err would be "meat! meutt" nnd as the straarers escaped them, their baffled hopes would find expressknt in dismal wailing. Sometime a parley would ke held, and there was danger of a treacherous attack any momml At. Unuisri the natives put on an annenrance of friendliness. Stan Ur doubts whether they are eannibnk, but ha noticed that tbev were chains tH human teeth round thek necks, ek4t. ke remarks, fitted to sarnie - -.

tool kim nnd kk men in knt they wees treated witk bility. "I sat smiling in tne mMst or a group mmsjtahto tor uaetr nssa gashed bodies, 'and bearing In their hands fearfully dangerous looking knives or swords, with wbJsk the crowd might have hacked me to pieces before I oouid have even divined tiseir intentions." He had a simitar experience at Marank; whets the ery of tke native sounds somewhat like tke neighing of ahorse. His escape in tins instance, as in many other instances, ke attributes to ths strange appearance he presented as a white man. - "For my part I must confess to nay. tag been charmed into a dangerous in activity by the novelty of tke human eriea ; so much so that before I was en the alert there waa three eanoee in front of me, and over the gunwales 1 saw nine bright musket-barrels aimed me. As my position was in ths . . .. is - i. bow of tne noat. wnu Mnamjr um expedition down tke river, I soon became a target for a few more, as the swift-gliding canoes were propelled in a cresent form in our front, nut, as on several other ooctunona, I was saved because my very appearanoe startled them. "Kail I been a black man I should have long before been slain, but even in the midst of a battle, curiosity, stronger than hate or blood-tbirstiness, arrested the sinewy arm which drew tbe bow, and delayed the flying spear. And now, while their thin flint ham mers were at full cock, and the lingers pressing the triggers of the dendly muskets, the savage became absorbed in contemplating tbe silent and still form of n kind of being which to them must have appeared as strange as any unreal being the traditions of their fathers had attempted to desenbe. Of course the slightest movement on my part would have been instantly followed by my death. Though it was unpleasant to sit and feel one's self to be a target for so many guns, yet it was the wisest nluu.y Even in this case, however, the trav elers did not escape without a fight, for the savasres followed them and opened fire on them, but were soon si kneed by btanley'B bmuers. On ar riving at the coast and looking into the faces of white men, Stanley understood why the arm 01 the native hail so often been momentarily paralysed The faces of the white merchants of Embomina, olive and sunburnt as they were, caused an involuntary shudder to run through him, they looked so ghastly. And now Stanley the Restless, Stan ley the Indomitable, having already, at the age of forty-seven, accomplished enough to make a dozen men famous, is off again for Africa; leaving civilisation after only a brief enjoyment of it to plunge into the jungle, to march into the very heart of barbarism whither he roes to rescue Em in Bey. II. K. CarroU, LL. D in ChaHUtuqmn. HOW TO DUST A ROOM. hi wiiii BmirtrM CmmMnwh work. The proper way to duet a room is to begin with the walls. Fin several thicknesses of cloth over a broom ami sweep the walls down thoroughly, leaving at the same time all the doors and windows open. This matter of sweeping the walls is important and should be done once a week in rooms that are much need. Then with a damp cloth wine oft the picture cords or wires, the backs of all tbe picture frames and tke tops of the door and window frames. If there k any danger of injuring pictures or frames with a damp cloth use a dry one, but wipe them nil off carefully.t As often as you can get a good draft which will carry the dust out of the window, shake ami bent the curtains, whether they be Holland, lace. scrim or what not, for they are prime sinners in the matter of harboring dust. The window sash, sill nnd glass should also receive attention. Use a large cloth, with half of it well dampened for dusting, the dry end being useful to wipe of small articles that might be injured by dampness and be careful that you manipulate the cloth so as to wipe tke dust into it ami keep it there. If it gets dirty have a clean one, and always wash them out and senhl them after using. If there are inside shutters to the windows they need to be cared for almost as tenderly as a baby. A thorough ckmning every week, carefully wiping both upper and under sides of the slats, is the only thing that will keep them in decent order. A room Is not thoroughly dusted until all the furniture and woodwork and gas fixtures have been cleaned with the damp duster. Upholstered furniture should be taken out, brushed all oyer ami then wiped with the damp cloth, not forgetting the under side. Fhrenee Fimh Kelly, in A T.

PINE PERSIAN RUGS. Why Xa Tw mt TImm KUsawt Werfcs mt Art Are KwMtljr AWm. "Persian rugs are all made by band, without a single exception. They ars stretclied on frames as one would make a sampler, and all the family work on them. A pattern for that particular carpet is lmfore tbem, which they follow with mors or lees precision, according as their fancy suite tkem. As a rule, considerable license k allowed for the expression of individual taste in working out these patterns. No two carpets are therefore exactly alike, and the owner of an old Persian rug may be reasonably sure that while he may find other rugs resembling kk, not one that k absolutely identical exists. This quality gives them a value similar to that possessed by an oil painting." Tke Persian Government has inter dieted the use of aniline dyes, which threatened at one time to ruin tke soft karmonkms tints of tke product of the Persian loom. The rugs of Turkestan (mistakenly called Bokhara rugs) art dyed witk aniline frequently, since Turkestan is now under Russian instead of Persian control; and the Introduction of machine methods and exact rsproduetions into Sultanabadin Turkestan, which has recently token place, may prove a death blow to this peculiar industrial art There is one kind of rug made in Persia which never leaves that country, on account of tts great weight and bulk and consequent cost of transportation. This k n kind of carpet felt, called namads. The Cund k made first, the design being ten In with mallets on one surface only. Another rug which rarely reaches Europe is the "ghilleem," mads wholly or partly of cotton. The rich colors are imperishable, and the rug can be washed like a piece of calico. Tke so-called silk rugs are used almost entirely for hangings. They are rare, and of course very costly, una lies Before the peacock throne of tke Skak. dotsMftyfc ffwnosn. Satisfaction far One.
