accurate information regarding such
matters as the days on which their

mnke their heavicKt shipments of cash,
and all that sort of thing. Only this
week a young bank ofllcial did all of this
rnd more. Not only did he name the
days that the institution with which he
is connected has the most cash on hand
and makes its heavieat transfer of

but he gave the same information re
ifiirding two or three other institution
of a similar nature.
"There have leen other cases where
the same thing has been done by young

entirely unbusinesslike. To do so
imply means the giving of valuable

pointers to the highwaymen from whom
we are hearing with such alarming fre

Country That la Giving
many Much Trouble.
An African Territory About Which the
English Government la Vitally Coa
cernad The Dispute About
Its Boundaries.
"Battle in the Cameroons," says a re
cent cable. What and where are the
Cameroons? This from the New York
Herald will elucidate a little:
The Cameroons is a territory on the
Bight of Biafra, West Africa, one
hundred and fifty thousand square
miles in extent, and with an estimated
population of two millions. It has &
coast line of one hundred and twenty
miles between the Cumpo river and the
Rio del lie j, is bounded on the north
east by a treaty line running north
east to the east of Vol a, on the upper
Benue, and on the south by a line run
ning inland, due east from the mouth
of the Campo river, to about the me
ridian of longitude fifteen degrees east,
which may be regarded aa the eastern
or inland limit of the so-called "pro
tectorate."
In 18(.)3 there were one hundred and
sixty-six whites, of whom one hundred
and nine were German and thirty-one
English. It became a German pro
tectorate iu 188 1, and is placed under
an imperial governor, assisted by a
chancellor, two secretaries and a local
council of three representative mer
chants. The country is fertile, and
numerous valuable African vegetable
productions grow in profusion. Plan
tations of cacao and tobacco have been
farmed by a company, and numerous
factories carry on an active trade in
ivory and palm oil. On January 1,
1888, an import duty was imposed on
European goods, and from this the
revenue is mainly derived. The chief
town is Cameroons, and in the South
Hatania, Bimbla and Ilakundu Town
are other important trading stations,
and Aqua Town and Bell Town are the
principal native settlements. The Im
ports and exports are quite large.
In April last, Mr. Henry M. Stanley
wrote to the peace association a letter
In which he attributed the Increase of
trade in 11)2 nt African ports under
German administration to the growing
practice among German Merchants of
importing into Africa small arms and
ammunition. These materials of war,
he said, were sold to the slave trader
and do inestimable damage. Mr. Stan
ley inculpated also the Portuguese in
his charges. He appealed to the Kuro-
pean nations to suppress the traffic in
arms curried ot; by the Germans and
lirtt7neH0. 1'nless tills step tie taken,
e ikIcV'I. nil eiTorts to stop the slave
trade would bo mieles.
In February a German expedition,
which 111:1 under the cotnmnnd of
'relherr von Utt'tten. proceeded from
the Cameroons const up the river San
nu':t to l!uliii','a. whence it traveled to

Some Microscopic Works of

Remarkable Feats of Painty Penmanship
Ivory Dishes Scarcely Visible to the
Naked Eye A Jeweler's Won
derful Little Boat. :
Dr. Ileylin, in his "Life of King
Charles," records that during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth "there was one
who wrote the ten commandments, the
creed, the Pater Noster, the queen's
name and the prayer of our Lord with
in the compass of a penny, and gave
her majesty a pair of spectacles of such
an artificial making that by the help
thereof she did plainly and distinctly
discern every letter," savs the London
Bookworm. ' A somewhat similar feat
was that "rare piece of work brought
to pass by Peter Bales, an Englishman,
who also exhibited before her majesty
the entire Bible written in a book con
taining as many leaves as a full-sized
edition, but fitting into a walnut."
Iu St. John's college, Oxford, is pre
served a portro.it of Charles I., in which
the engraver's lines, as they seem to
be, are really microscopic writing, the
face alone containing all the book of
Psalms, with the creeds and several
forms of prayers.
The learned Porson is known to have
Indulged in this species of "curious
idleness" occasionally, and perhaps the
Greek verses from the Medea of Euri
pides, with Johnson's translation ot
the same, for Burney's "History of
Music," were executed by him. Though
consisting of two hundred and twenty'
six words, they are comprised in a cir
cle half an inch in diameter, with a
small space In the center left blank.
About forty j'ears o;to a specimen of
microscopic penmanship was exhibited
in America. It consisted of the follow'
ing inscription written upon glass in a
circle much smaller than the head of
an ordinary pin (one six hundred and
twenty-fifth part of an inch in di
ameter): "Iiowell and Scutcr. watch
makers, 04 Kvchun;'o street, Portland.

At the Ditsseldorf exhibition a few
years ago a ifentletnan tthowed a postal
card upon which the whole of the first
three books of the Dilyssey were
written, the remaining space being

AN AUTUMN REVERIE.
The
Happy ' Itridn AVns ' Kntranccd by
Mature and 80 tVas John.
It was in the month of October and -they
had been married four wepks.
Four blissful weeks they had been to
her in that lovely country house among
the quiet hills, says the Detroit Free
Press.
Day after day the autumn sun bad
been painting the trees in wondrous
shades of tints, and now the mountains
were great banks of rich maroon, and
the valleys, flowing silently between, '
o'er streams ot grass-green waves and
scarlet foam.
This afternoon she sat with him oa
the long, low piazza and gazed dream
ily on the lovely picture spread be
fore.
At first she talked to him sitting
there so comfortable in his great rus
tic chair, but her voice 'grew softer and
softer until it died away in whispers
and she was still.
The mystic, restful touch of the
sweet October days was upon her, and
it was blissful peaee to sit idly In the
sun and look upon the beauties of the
scene silent she, as It was.
The old life of her girlhood had pone
and she stood upon the threshold of
this new life this wondrous hall of
womanhood, extending far, far before
her, as were the valleys spread below
the mountainside.'
There wns upon her soul the inef
fable calm of autumn time, and the
magie of the afternoon fn ciliated her.
And it was not for her alone, but
him; this man who now was part and
parcel of her life.
He, too, she felt, must feel the rap
turous thrill, the weird and witching
spirit of the hour.
I0I111, she whispered, softly, as the
hum of bee that knocks at the door of
every honeyed flower.
But John did not respond.
All, he too, Is clothed in this charm,
she thought.
