" 'Want lo learn the book busiui.ss!'
he exclaimed, us though there was
something terrible in the very thought.
'If you had had the experience I have
you would never try handling books!
It is the most t intali.ing business on

for instance. It treats ol a popular
topic and you know there is money in
it. The books lake, tho agents sciure
huge orders and iveiything looks pros

changed their minds, some of them
moved away, and probably those whom
the agent felt the nirest of will have
diphtheria or scarlet fever so that ho

" 'Do you know of any opening in any

'i'he Congo abounds in most excellent
food Ii h, which form a staple article of
foidoulhi' upp"r river. Tie natives
seldom cat the lish wlnn fresh, but
smoke or dry lleiu. Tie inaii-eating
i crocodile is met with throughout tie;
river, and in the region of the islands
! "I'd sandbanks the hippopotami are
I found. 1 have fn o'icnlly met herds of
fifteen or twenty of these beasts playing
in tho river. If di-turbed in their
breeding season they w ill attack passing
canoes an I sometimes steamers. One of
the state i tiiuclies has been badly it
jurc'l by tlin tusks of a hippo.
t If (he mineral wealth of tloi Congo
valley there can be no ipiestioii. The
natives of ad sections pissess iron and
copper in large ipi uilitics. The kuivcH
and spears are made of the iron and dec
orated with copper. Their brass orna
ments ate made from the matakos that
they purchase iu trade from the whiles.
I saw no gold or silver; the natives do
not place any value i ti ihese metals, It
has been n potted that tho Arabs have
found gold iu small quantities iu the in
terior, above Stanley Fails.
T.ie natives of the lower Congo are
wined with llint-bck iiuis'ket.s, but they
are nine st 1 unless. They have no idea
nf marksmanship, nnd it is the cxee
tion when a man is killed in their tr bal
wars. In (letol'cr, lssa, b 'tween

It ive 'lone at Vi vi. And i;g;iin, one of
the llaglish mission is living alone at

nearest white man being fifty miles from

travel with a guard in the lower country,
and the slate limits its caiavans to
inotigh peop'e for the tinn porlatioii of
their camp equipage only. As far as I
could leain, I In re is uocae on ivfcrd
during the la-t two years where a white

the Viili'ge tho poison te-l is u,ed.
The nn dicine in in designates the man
or worn in suspected of causing the
death by charm of wiuhciaft. The
poison is admiuisli led, an I if it acts
as an emetic that siguili '.s innoe nc ; if
on the contrary, itkiils.the guilty one is
punished.
In some instances the laws of the
llaskiing.is are very stringent. Stealing
from each other is pu'ii-lud by death.
Fighting or disonler in the market
places is seriously punished, and if a
lireariu is used the punishment is death.
The market place, wh'cli usually
covers some acres of ground, is used as
the p'aee of execution, an I it is not a
unusual sight to meet a skeleton hang
ing and bleaching iu the sun o i the out
skirts of the market, or to foi l a broken
musket driven into the ground, which
mai ks the spot where a man has been
buried alive to his throat, his brains
dashed i ti', then cover, d an I the
musket driven into his body. All this
to serve in a warning to others not to
use firearms iu the market place.
Tho native food f the lower Congo
valley is principally p'anuts and chi
quitngo (made from the mniiinv root.)
On market days fowl, eggs, goat and
pork may bo bought, mi l (in small quan
tities) sweet point' 'is, peas, beans, onions
and bananas.
As a i tile I did not find the lower
Congo people inti mi'iiate ; the native
drink is inalafu or palm wine, which,
when fresh, is not at all intoxicating.
They are fond of rum and gin, and these
articles will go much further iu trade
than either cloth or beads. The native
caravans demand rum or gin as a p u
tion of their pay.
Th,! women are slaves, there being no
marriage laws.
Above Stanley l'ool, and more par
tieiilaily above the nn ulli of the Ix is-ai
