In the months of March and April during the rainy fic.ibon one sees bus > life in the native towns of the French Congo , relates the New York Sun The iren are preparing to go to the hush to cut rubber. Every women nnd child stems to have something to do , ami oven the men do not lounge about a.i usual , hut are sharpening their knives ami machetes and putting their guns Into proper trim. The women are digging cassava , mid some of them are washing It and preparing chlgunnga or native In cad Others nn > cleaning the cassava with knives nnd fjing It Into mattets made from palm leaves This kind of tathava Is roasted over the lire nnd entcu warm , while the bread U eaten cold and Is mostly used on thp road. The men carry their guns so they may kill the game which abounds In the forest. When all is ready a drunken carousal and dance arc given the night before the start by way of saying farewell to the villagers left at home. Sometimes a good place with plenty of i libber plants Is found after a niircli of two or three days , but oftener the Journey takes n week or more. In this case the men keep carriers on the road w Ith food for them , because there Is nothing to ho had In these parts with the exception of game. The rubber In central Africa Is not n tree , but a vine , often thrco or four Inches In diameter. This vine generally elliiiKn up the tallest trees , and tin. natives often use one of the vine to ascend the ttco. After the branches are reached , which In most cases are at least fifty feet from the ground , the men proceed to cut the vines away at the top , Icav Ing only one for their descent and this one * , If possible , not a rubber vine It seems strange that the natives cut away the rubber plants and so destroy them In- sttad of tapping them , but they arc too lazy to learn miy other way. After the vines have fallen they are cut Into lengths of three or four feet , and the Jitlco Is collected Into Iron pots. This Is a tedious Job. The pleco of the vine Is held over the pot , first by one end , then by the other until the Juice eeni.es running. Then the pleco Is cut again to get at any Juice which may hs o been left In the middle. After a pot Is nearly full a rest Is taken , and this Julco Is boiled for nearly two hours and , during the boiling proeecs. Is mixed with the Julco of other vines nnd some lime Juice , so that the mixture Is more sticky and easier formed Into balls. As soon as It cools down sufllclently to be handled the hardening rubber Is shaped by winding It at ) first around n stick. Aftci a bit the stick Is pulled out and the ball Is re wound to Mulsh It off In some places these balls weigh three pounds or more each , in others , five or them make ,1 pound. The purlt ) of the rubber depend ! ) much upon how much other Juice has been added The best and purest Is that obtained from the Julco without boiling. This Is only found In the shape of bracelets , because the natives wind the Julco as It runs out around their wrist and let It dry there When perfectly dry It slips off easier. This would be trans parent rubber If the skin and fingers of the natives were not so very dirty. The natives often used to put foreign mib- stnnceM , such as small stones , palmnuts. nnd llttlo bullB of grass Into the rubber balls to make It heavy. They were noon f on nil out , and every ball Is now cut through the cen ter to rovenl Its mixture. Often the rubber Is burled for name * dnvs because. It draws thu molsturn from Iho ground , which adds to the weight. Cheating Is resorted to be- cnuso the pay Is so poor. It takes a party of eight or ten men and bovn six lo eight weeks to gather from eighty tcNlOO pounds of rubber The valueof this , If nil Is first- class , Is from 00 to 2f > U yards of cotton cloth or forty gallona of rutu or three or four nintlmk RUIH Surclv this Is poor pnv for this kind of woik Still , the natives rejoice greatly If the men from one town return with 100 pounds It seems like n fortune to them , because they need no little that civ lilted people crave nnd pay for. When this little fortune Is spent nml the weather permits , another trip U undertaken lo the rubber region. iiimiT in n MM ; * or HIM M.TI. n mm 'M simile stnll.M Throuuh I'nl- nec ( iiiles nml lt % Vrineil SeiillnelN , In beautiful Brussels , in the great palace of the Dclglan king , Leopold , there lives n tall , stately , blue-eyed princess , widowed In heart and almost unknown to the outside * world , because n gay , pretty American fas cinated her princely lover , some day to be n king. Today American newspapers arc telling about the rich and unhappy Princess do Chclnny of Ilelglum , who Is seeking a di vorce. The truth Is these two princesses , both beautiful nnd saddened , ami at one time friends , are objects of pity , but the royal princess has on her side n blameless rec ord. whllo the ambitious , coquettish woman Horn Michigan must ever bo a victim of re morse. llelglum'.s king , Leopold U , lost his only ( .on years ago.

His two children to occupy thrones The ambitions of his haughty queen , Marie Henrietta , she of the Hapshurgs , were to be gratified' Hut , alqs' Even the plans of kings are sometimes shattered by God's In tervention.

The old count of Flanders and bis beloved countess were In deep despair , but their ease was more hopeful than that of the i oval mourners In the pnlaco ncross the street , for they had yet another son , the young Pilnce Henry. In the ducal palace of the deaf old court of Flanders lay the precious body of a much loved prince , an Idolized bon nnd brother , n rccre-ant lover , the heir to n. throne , carried ( here by trusted hands from the palace of the chcinay adjoining The story of the Austrian tragedy a year or two before got out by reason of the hun ters near by , else that , too , would have been mi accident. The Belgian tragedy was sup pressed because King Leopold tlnottled the press. Hut all of Brussels , vea of Belgium , knows how the dissolute Prince Chcinay stumbled Into the American pilncess' apartments mid shot the enamored prince so beloved and so popular.

Recently the writer enjoyed n conversation with Hon. M. C. Tosnca , n post- olllcc Inspector whoso fitness for the position ho holJs Is eloquently testified to by the fact that for about twenty years he has been In the government service , for n part of the time as a special pension examiner , hut dur ing the past few years ns an Inspector of the PoitolHco Ippartment. Mr. Fosnes" homo Is at DCS Molncs nnd his field covers a good part of the United States. Ho wcs requested to recall some of the most difficult cases ho had to unravel while an examiner of the pension bureau Ono of the meat Ititiicato was that of nn Impostei who Impersonated n dead soldier , and who by shrew ell ess nnd good fortune succeeded In having the records of the War department amended to read "severely wounded nml taken prisoner" Instead of "killed In action , " ns had been recorded after the name of the man whom he Impersonated and who was reported killed In the second battle of Hull Hun. Hun.Charles Charles E. Hrewer , at the commencement of the wat of the rebellion , enlisted In com pany A , Flrat .Michigan cavalry He was re ported killed In the second battle of Hull Hun , and his record In the War department was madeto read "killed In action ' Later flrewcr'H parents , who lived in Connecticut , mndo application , end , having proved their and bounty due him. TWLNTV YEAIIS LATEH. Nearly twenty years after the war an ap plication for n pension was sent to the de partment from Kansas , the applicant giving the name of Charles E. Urcwer. and alleging that he served In company A , First Michi gan cavalry The application was In proper form and was accompanied by the allldaviti ) of corroborating witnesses. As the War de partment records showed that Hrewer had been Killed In action , the Kansa ? applicant was called on to disprove the record The alleged Hrewer then went to Detroit. Mich , where he knew that a number of veteran- ) of the First Michigan cavalry resided. His mode of procedure was qulto Ingenious and daring Accosting a street car conductor whom he had ascertained was a former member of company A , he asked If ho Did not rccognirc him It chanced that the conductor had been very well acquainted with Hrewer , and ho at first told the Impqstcr that he did not know him. Hrower had been born In Massachusetts , but the lmi > ostcr talked with a strong Oerman accent. When asked about this after he announced that he wns Hrewer , nnd slid that since the war he had llvel among Hermans so Jong that he had fallen Into their manner of talking His long absence since the \\ar he ex plained by saying that In the second battle of Hull Uun ho was shot In the head , and ( lint r.fter falling to the. ground ho was rendered unconscious ; that he was subse quently found on the battlefield bv some rebels and forwarded to a hospital at Illch- mond. but that ho did not knm how Ipng ho remained there , ' , as he 4iWrr lecovorcd consciousness until one daj ; , while walking along a sidewalk , he stumbled and struck his head with sulllclont force to arouse him from his stupor. He then discovered , no- coidlng to his story , that ho was In the town of Qnlncy , Mich. USES WHISKY FREELY. The alleged Hrewer , duilnp the conversa tion , gave freclv to the conductor of the contents of i , bottle , nnd when he bavv that his victim was In a fit condition to make any sort of acknowledgment that might bo required , ho'iomovexl any further doubt that might linger In the clouded brain cf the conductor by asking. "Don't jou remember that pig wo killed while * out foraging nt In West Vlr- glnln' " Of course the tipsy conductor remem bered It , nnd said there was no further do'ibt In his mind that his genial compan ion was really his old comrade * . Hi ewer Ho was then Induced to make affidavit to this effect , and fiom pointers concerning other survivors of the company which the conductor gave the Impostor , the latter was enabled to procure similar aflldavits from them , removing any doubt that might ex ist In their minds by adopting practically the same tactics which had bc-en no success ful In the ca3c > of the conductor , only vary ing the story to one man , uhcm ho told that ho had been taken prisoner at the second end battle of Hull Hun. The affidavits thua obtained were for warded to the War department On the atrcngth cf them the iccords of the de partment were amended as bcforo stated , and the alleged Hiowcr was given a regu larly Issued certificate of discharge. Then the case , following the customary pro cedure , was turned over to the pension bu reau , nnd ur.fi finally referred to Special Examiner POMICS for investigation. EASILY EXPOSED. After an extended and tedious Investiga tion , the dctall.s of which need not be enumerated here. Examiner Fosnes thor oughly exposed the Impostor , whose real name wau n&ceitnlned to be Fred Hrunlng. Ho had never been a soldier. The ex aminer went to N'cw York state mid found Hrunlng's brother and fnmlly , nnd upon a pretext Induced the brother nnd another man to Identify the Impcator. Although they had not ficen Ilruntng for many years , ho hnvlng ran away from homo In 1855 , when he crossed tha street dlazannllv .1 short distance away , one nudged the other and pnld "There goes Fred. " Hrunlng had a largo scar on his fore head , ono arm was broken and one leg was shorter than the other , being fitted out with an Iron stump Instead of these being evi dences of In juries received In battle , as ho had always claimed , they were the result of his being caught by a belf In a sawmill in Illinois , where ho was employed aftci the war. On the day of the second battle of Hull Hun ho was In jail at Pontlac , Mich , for theft. Ho Ilist heard nf Hrewer while in jail. The authorities finally agreed to liberate him If ho would shako the dust of the town fioni his feet , To this he gladly agreed , ami upon being released went to the extreme southern part of Michigan , where ho was thought to bi a deserter.
