Receiving an African King. Coldthwaite’s Geographical Magazine.

While resting at Dem Belrir, Dr Junker was surprised with the King Ndoruma, the much feared A-Zandeh potentate, was 'on his way to thecamp. I’ho king's arrival was much earlier than had been anticipated. It was a great diplomatic event for Dr. Junor's little band, for they were to take up their residence shortly in Ndoruma’s capital, the pleasantness of their surroundings there would depend largely on the impression first made on the autocrat himself. So,in all haste, the negro attendants tad porters were thrust into their heterogeneous uniforms. Every negro appeared for the important ceremonial in a gaily colored shirt, cotton overalls and a Turkish fez. AH carried guns and stood shoulder to shoulder as the king approached. Ndoruma, too, was in his regimentals. ‘‘He had for the occasion encased his long muscular legs in a pair of perilously pld and tight carmine trousers that had once been the property of an hussar. The trousers were too short both at the top and bottom. The seams cracked and gave every time he moved, so that he could neither walk nor sit without exciting the gravest apprehension. His coat was no better. It was au Arab garment for a small man, and although Ndoruma had forced his arras into the splitting sleeves, he could net bring ti e garment together, so that tn front, from his crown to the abbreviated waist of his trousers, he was quite bare, ”Dr. J unker talked over his plans with the king till evening, entertained him with books and music, and, as it grew late, gave an illumination and concert for his amusement. The negro boys circled about with paper lanterns, disguised themselves with curious masks of all sorts to the terror of Ndoruma’s less courageous attendants, and finally took turns at the crank of a German handorgan that sent out into the African wlldefrncss the familiar strains of “The Watch on the Rhine,” Ndoruma was highly deligeted with all this, especially with the hand-organ, and bade Dr. Junker au revoir nest day, with profuse assurances of good will and generous deeds in the future.

CONDEMNED. Ammonia Baking Powder Must Go. ' ■ -’ - . ■ • \ Bills have been introduced in the New York, Illinois end Minnesota Legislatures compelling the manufacturer of such baking powders to brand on the label in bold type, this powder “Contains ammonia.” Physicians and chemists condemn the use of ammonia in baking powders as a crime. Its constant use no matter how small the quantity deranges the stomach, neutralizing the gastric juice and destroying the complexion. It is the small quantities taken every meal that do the mischief. _ It is gratifying to know there are pure baking powders to be had on the market and at no greater cost to the consumer than some of these so-called “absolutely pure” ammonia powders. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder, the standard pure cream of tartar powder for forty years. Free from the taint of cither ammonia or alum. None so pure—-Nonb so wholesome. Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is reported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned.

CAPTURING WILD PONIES.

The Elusive Mustang Run Down by Fleet-footed Indians. There are still a few bands of mustangs or wild ponies roaming the Texas staked plains. They are now made prize and captured by men who covet them. There are several methods in vogue for capturing wild ponies. If the hunters are ambitious and looking toward taking tho whole band they go it at with preparation and in a business way. These bands of ponies are not wanderers, going up and down the weastern earth, but possess a residence and cling to a locality, so that their whearabouts once known to the hunter is certain of finding them at any time thereafter. This gives the mustangers ample chance for preparation. > - The necessities of a mustang hunt conducted on wholesale lines include a corral, a grub wagon and team, and three hunters. When all is ready the hunters arrange themselves in as many watches of eight hours each, one drives the wagon, the seoond sleeps in the wagon, and the third “walk” the mustangs. “Walking” mustangs is simple. 1 The theory of the hunt is to keep the wild ponies on the walk, night and day, without food or water, until they are exhausted. As far as may be, says a writer in the Kansas City Star, they arc walked in a circle so as to be near the corral intended as the final goal of the go-as-you-please match against nature. The process is this: The hunters with their wagons drive in sight of the mustangs and the first man takes their trail on foot. For eight hours he walks after them, keeping them constantly on the move, and as much as possible from feeding and from water. This last is not so difficult in a land where watering places are exceptional. In the beginning the foolish mustang kicks up his joyous heels and curvets about, tossing his manein contempt of this solitary, slow pursuit, but as the hours wear on the dusty plodder, sticking like a bad habit, is not to be shaken off, the fugitives become less gay. They sober down to a walk and are not so prone to light and frivolous exercise. After eight hours the wagon drives up and No. 2 of the hunters begins his eight-hour walk. At its close No. 3 assumes the pursuit, and so, changing everj eight hours, the weary inarch keeps on. AU that day anil night the ponies are kept moving. All the next day and night sees the programme repeated, and the work continues until,} without having had food or water, without having closed their eyes or rested their tired legs since the hunt began, thq. starved and sleepy mustangs totter along, almost as lame as house dogs and fairly dead on their feet. When reduced to this condition, sapped of that gay, brisk . nature which distinguished them at first, the hunters turn their drooping, drowsy heads to the oorxal and drive them"in as unresisting as sheep. ’ “Creasing” requires skill with the rifle and an accurate knowledge of horse anatomy. ? The bullet is r , ade to graze the spinal column well up on the neck. The lead must be placed just so or loss results. If it strikes toolow the spine Is broken and the pony is a thing of the past; if too nigh, it results in nothing but a wounded pony flying with frightened feet; but if placed aright the shot simply stuns for a few minutes. The pony drops us if struck in the head with a maul and will remain unconscious for about two minutes—time enough to secure it. Indians, afoot and desirous of a mount, have been known to literally and actually ran a wild pony down. They take one by sheer endurance.

There is,.of course, as great a difference in stamina and staying powers among Indians as among the whites; but almost atty camp will furnish one or two, or even three, bronze athletes who are good and game at a day’s running, to run a hundred miles after their last repast. A wild ponv cannot do this. Unpracticed, grass-fed and soft, he shows no such strength or bottom. Should necessity point and occasion offer, one of these savage Mercurys will undertake a mustang's capture on foot, coursing him by sight as grayhounds course hares. The time selected is after a light snow, on account of the plain, open trd.il, it shows in the event of the pony getting out of sight at any time during the chase. Then, again, the running Indian can scoop up a handful of snow as he flies and make it take the place of water.

Lathly Nichols of Thomaston, Me., whose diseased arm was recently amputated, experienced some remakable sensations after the operations had been completed. After amputation thearm was placed in a box in a somewhat cramped position, and Nichols complained of a severe pain. Without his knowledge the arm was placed in a more natural position, whereupon he expressed great relief. As the missing member was carried away he indicated to those around him just ‘how the box was moved, and when it was tipped from level be felt considerable pain. He told when it was placed in the ground aud indicated by gestures with his remaining arm every shovelful of earth that was thrown upon it’ expressing much relief when the interment was ov6r. ■» Upon the headstone of a grave in the old fort cemetery at Winslow, Me., is inscribed this epitaph.. “Here lies the body of Richard Thomas, an Englishman by birth, a Whig of 70.

Mrs. Staggers —It is't respectable to work the growler. Andrew Carnegie says in speaking of ocean steamers with respect to their future speed: “Make a note of this, that within two years I shall leave Queenstown about 2 p. m. on Sunday and be at Sandy Hook about 2 p.m. Friday.” It is not presumed that Mr. Carnegie is gotng into the steamboat business; this is merely a prediction.

OLDER THAN HE LOOKED.

H« Was Willing to Give Up Hu Seat, But ” Chicago Tribune. The south bound suburban car was crowded and several ladies were standing in the aisle. “I am a good deal older than I look miss, ” observed a somewhat fleshy man in one of the seats, addressing a young woman standing near him, “or I would offer you this seat.” She bridled a little and replied that it was not of any consequence. “I beg your pardon, miss,” he insisted, “but I think it is. No man under ordinary circumstances should keep his seat * and permit a lady to stand. You would hardly think,’’ he added with engaging frankness, “that I am in ,ipy, .fifty-fifth year. Yet such is the fact. lam often taken to be about thirty or thirty five. lam old enough, I presume, to be your grandfather. QUnder these circumstances I am sure you will pardon the seeming impoliteness—’ “l am not asking you for your seat, sir,” said the young woman with some irritation. The conversation had begun to attract the atten tion of everybody in that part of the car. “I know ft, miss,” he responded, blandly. “But J should take pleasure, as I said, in offering it to you if 1 were not beginning to feel that agt is creeping on. When a man is ok enough to be the grandfather of : young woman whom he sees stand ing up and is so unfortunately handi capped by his youthful appearance that he seems to be guilty of unpar donable rudeness, in not offering her the seat' he is occupying, it is due to himself that he should explain—” “I am not asking you for any explanation, air! ’ she retorted. “I know it, miss,” he rejoined. with unruffled suavity, “but I feel that I cannot, in justice to myself, omit to offer one. When a man is old enough to be—” But she had flirted angrily to the farther end of the car. A. petroleum bicycle makes 49 miles an hour. English syndicate are buying woolen plants.
