Common Sense About Africa.

THE REWARD OF THE WHITE MAN.

Sir Harry Johnston was on April 7th the chief guest at the boose dinner of the Authors' Olub, Responding to the toast of his health, he laid much of the romance of Africa had gone, H« himself Ind found Africa astonishingly hum-drum. Under the aegis of tha Foreign Office he had gone oat to ex plore, and he had, under the direction of Sir John Kirk, concluded treaties) which had laid the foundation of what had grown up sinco into a vast and important dominion of England in eastern equatorial Africa, In his ad- I ventures he had never been afraid of danger from the natives. He had once been captured by cannibals, bus the capture only resulted in a treaty* (Laughter.) Africa did not require people of romantic dispositions to deal with iiy but people of strong common sense, The moat romantic thing wai the Uganda Railway. It was a romantic thing that within a short space of years they should have a well appointed railway that traversed six hundred miles of hitherto an almost unknown interior. One of the strangest things was that the line waa welcomed bj the big game, the only beasts that ob jected lo it being the lion and the leopard, and the line ran through whit was absolutely a Zoological garden There was a little romtnoe in tb« Afriein. He had unearthed some chartniog folk lore in Uganda, which recalled a touch of Hans Anderson, and he proposed to publish trausiatioQS of ihee* 1 at Ties. There was art also

I among the Africans, and be believed (they might some day develop an art that some day would touch that of Jap«n, If tbe while man bad nob medtiied with Afrca be believed that ihe negro would hive gone back to Ihe brute Through being brought into cont'Ot with other races, however, th« negro was little by little being civilised. In all this work of civilisation there waß great honour das to the European race, bat he did not think there wosld bo very ninch pro6t. If we were going to look for profit »nd showed greed to seize it, we should incur 4oss and suffer bitter disappointment. Benefit might coni" to us indirectly, because we ihoold educate oureejvos in trying to edo«« oate the Afric«n. While our com* morce could have a fair field and no favour, we should alao spccro large spaces where food staffs could be grown, and, conaidering the rapid increase of the human race on this planet, it would soon be an asset c£ coneiicrable value to possess soil on which w > could grow things to eat. Thfi first thing we had to do wag to educate and civilise tbe indigenous races. Here and there there might ha a patch of land which cou'd ba colo nised by white races, but they were small, it would be ridiculous to found an English colony in Uganda proper* The African was jealous of his rights, ! but he was net unreasonable, If hs realised that they did not wish to oust him from Urid he was legitimately oc cupying, and that their objects wai only to educate him, he thought tbtf A'rican would contribute sufficient to relieve English ratepayers from the cost of defending him and helping greedy nations cut of' bis territory—• they might look forward to protector ates becoming self-supporting. If the white man, however, pushed the negro too hard in tropical Africa it might lead to a league of the negro against tbe white man. He did not think one work in tropical Africa would bring any very large accession of profit, and if we caught at the shadow we might lose the substance. (Oheers)

ffrowing J'hinnen Thousands of women are wasting away day by day, week by week, month by month, through anxiety, overwork, and motherhood. Their once robust constitutions have been overtaxed, and the wasting away process has thrown them into decline. From strong, robust, vigorous health to the last bed of sickness is bat a step or two. r How important then to check this weakness and wasting away. Delay - means but one ending—consumption; Every woman who has weak lungs, who is overworked, who has a cough that does not mend, asthma, catarrh, or lung trouble of any kind whatever, should take Xane's Smulsion of Cod Liner Oil, Lime, Soda, feEd Creasote, and should take it to-day. It enrichet the blood, restores health and activity, gives vigour and vitality to both mind and body. It is atonic and a medicin* food for run-down, overworked, over taxed, exhausted women.
