A sort of-clumsy ripple that remirded trie of tb'e movement of logs jammed in ��������� a river parsed along the length of tbe '��������� herd; then tbe cattle broke into alum- bering gallop. ' The ..gallop was much , faster than it seemed." First Ilollis' and ,-then Spider broke ~ through trie head of the, herd, and, riding 'diagonally for- " ward, tried to get to one' side of. the .rush". I "could see that,their horses were going at'a rate that tbey, could hardly ,-.-_iave' bettered -if- their lives bad been de- , oenoin_:_on their speed _, ,, ��������� .' .. Jtloiiis was aneao. with bpider .mine-. , -diately behind , and trying to pass him, and, aided by his light weight, Spider 'succeeded in -passing. r He reached the '..' outside of the path pursued by the herd,- and, wheeling bis horse, swooped down on the flank of the body of cattle,' still yelling and flogging as he urged it on. Hollis also bad nearly passed out of the danger line when his horse lurched forward tand fell, throwing his rider some distance from him, directly in line of the rushing herd that was bearing down upon them. He had stepped into a badger hole.' Tbe horse scrambled to bis feet and galloped on, but \ for a moment Holli3. apparently stunned, lay where he had fallen.4 DNo one could do anything to help��������� there was no time. In .another instant Hollis rose unsteadily to his feet. Ther* c Covering the foremost bull of the herd, h* Jircd. was a bowlder n few foot distant, and he made for it in a limping run. He drew a pistol as he knelt behind the rock, and hurriedly covering the foremost bull of the herd, now terribly close to him, he fired. The bull plunged headlong against the bowlder and lay with bis body jammed across it. The cattle were not quite stampeded. If they had been they would have piled themselves oue on top of another over tho bowlder and the dead bull that rested against it until, witb their combined -weight, they would have almost,crushed the rock itself. As it was they turned to -one side and the other as they reached the impediment, and left a little open 'space around it, as though the rock were a candle and tbe space the light it shed. Another moment and the herd had passed, followed by a cloud of flying dust. This cloud was peopled by cowboys who waved their bands to Hollis as they went by him and shouted words ���������of ironical consolation or counsel. One ;of the men advised bim to engage ���������Spider as a riding teacher. Hollis was ���������not pleased. He made this plain in hia replies to the rough jokes that were showered upon him. He was not at all the sort of person that could enjoy a joke when at his own expense. The herd reached tho river an* *���������* yellow spray was flung'high in the air Then they slowed and stopped, heaving to aud fro. They were prevented from breaking down stream again by the cowboys, who stood ready to foil every eueh attempt, and try as they might they could not return���������but not an inch forward would they stir. Tbe river was rising fast, and more short han'ded than ever, uow that Hollis was unhorsed, it was all that we could do to hold them where they were. ,, Far in the van of the-herd stood Eiollis' ponjT, girth deep in the water Hollis caught sight of him.' Retarded by his cowboy 'bout heels, three inches high. Hollis'walked laboriously through -tbe deep, soft sand toward the herd that stood hunched together, half in, half out of the htre.-un. , Going up to the" nearest cow.<*I.ollis put his hands on her shonlders and vaulted neatly astride of hpr.Iean back, and before the as'ton- ished'aninjal had time to remonstrate in any way lie, had swung from' her back to that of another which.was standing next to her. From this one heswting^to a third, .nntil'at last he reached a part of tlie herd near, tlie middle where the animals were'so packed together that they were-almost incapable of move- nit'tit -Then he rose to hia feet and ���������'started to walk, stepping from one backbone to the next Il was a crazy tiling to do. Once before 1 had seen a man attempt to'swing from back to back, and it,was a dan- geicms Coat'enough. Such-a feat aa L.t-lliJ* was now attempting was .ten times as dangerous Should-he fall between the cattle they would close-over Ins head' and almost certainly drown li'i in * t ���������< For some distance Bcllis "succeeded^ well enough* Each,back winced as his fool pie^sed it. and th"e head belonging- to the- hack .would. toss angrily The heads were all pointing in one direc- tion. and in' order to* avoid them Hollis passed diagonally across, the herd in much the same- manner ' ttiat - a boat beats to wiudwa'rd., -He completed his first tack.' WitlwrneToot on" the back'of a eo*,v, the other pressing .the spinal column of a vicious cream colored bull, floliis tried to turn. -The bull threw up hi.-: head and attempted to plunge. He j' *.vas tuo closely confined to, succeed in ������ this, but he unbalance-! Hollis, who. withdrawing hip foot from the back of the bull, placed it on the creature that stood directly behind him, .tottered for an instant, then regained his 'balance and brought his foot forward once more, replacing it on the bull's back. Just at this time Spider came galloping down the bank. Pulling his horse almost on to it.- -launches-., he stared in blank amazement. He would not have been more astonished, he told me afterward, if Hollis had appeared in the guise of an angel flying over the herd and he "conldn' think-er nothin more unlikely" n that." Hollis saw Spider at the same moment. Once more he tried to turn, and this timo he succeeded. As he did so hia foot slipped. He made a couple of quick steps to recover his balance. He more than recovered it. Pie threw it the other way and fell backward at full length between the cattle. 4 Hollis' struggles to -rise probably frightened the cattle even more than his Call had done. They heaved and surgea frantically to clear themselves of their burden, and in an instant hart opened a -���������>;���������������������������" h.tween them through which :iwl!i>- (hupped with a scream that I Heard, distant n������ 1 was, far above the liijisi.- of tiie cattle and the shouting.

CALVE'S WARD. _j _, . The Los Antveles Girl Adopted by the Great Singer. ,Few groat sin_:ers have begun their careers'with a better chance to become famous than has Edna Darch, a little Los Angeles girl. Not only 'does she possess , a marvelous voice, but no less a celebrity in the musical world .than Mme. Calve hasadoptcd her and will provide for her ' the best musical and dramatic^ training 'America aud Europe can furnish. It was while -the famous; diva was' staying in ���������southern California for her health that 1 she heard Edna sing, and from that moment the little one's future was, assured., The protegee of Mme. Calve is only thirteen years . of",age'and for some time has been the marvel of musical people in Los Angeles. Her parents, being poor, rime artr-r time the most pessimistic ones will confidently expect to secure a prize 'the next time. One clever girl spoke truly whon she said. "It is only the very rich who can afford to buy bargains, for after you do tret them you have to spend unconscionable sums in getting materials to match in order to make any use of them.'*���������Exchange. . '".���������u , ��������� ___>- father, Edward A. Darch, is an English- ' man, forty years of age. Since he was , ten years old*-he" has woiked as a lumber shover'and is at present foreman of a small lumber yard in Los Angeles. Mrs. Darch was born in Germany, and, like her husband, "is comparatively uncultured 'and-used-'to a;life of toil. Edna takes . - most after Her mother, having some of /'.. thescharacteristics of the Germans in her Yj figure and manner of expression. For one so young she is remarkably well de- .-' veloped and is v'ery bright and vivacious ' _- in conversation. It is predicted that this ������ little girl, who was found in America's garden of flowers by Mme. Calve, will be the Carmen of-the twentieth century. Most Have Recreation. Women plod too much at their tasks and take/too little time for recreation when they become breadwinners. Ask any business manager of a firm which employs both sexes, and he will tell you - that women are by far more conscientious *nd turn out more work in a given time. ��������� Tlie sensitive, nervous temperaments, which are those that certainly do' the . ' * best work; are very easily influenced by their surroundings, and it makes all the difference in the world to them if at the end of a hard day's work some one or something' awaits them that will take them out of .nonbusiness world in which they have been and.give them something entirely different to think about. So often one hoars a business woman say that she is too tired to go to the theater or to read when, as a matter of fact, once-the actual effort of getting there was accomplished she would find it a real rest for it woul.J change her thoughts, get her away frcm her little home worries and arouse ter interest in the lives of those who sec-m to have so little in common with her own. Lack of recreavion not only ruins the health and turns girls into old women, but it takes from them all indiyiduality, all freshness, all'power of sympathy, and t turns tbem into that awful product of th's twentieth century���������a woman who has but oue idea in life and that the particular branch of'work in which she ia engaged.���������Pittsburg Dispatch. Culture- of Children** Voice*. . "Again and again have American women .been urged to attend to the voice culture of their children, aud yet the average mother entirely neglects what might bv, either a great charm' or a great defect ia her daughter later on."*'said a matron recently. "She had "been told often enough that the natural American voice is not musical���������is, in fact, decidedly.nasal and is apt to b* loud and shrill. This she recognizes ','to be a'fact, and-yet makes no effort to overcome the defect. "A'couple of decades,ago, when society was more or less anglomaniac in its tendency, voices were improved by imitation our transatlantic cousins, but now that even society people yare ultra American and feel their independence of eld world traditions there is no 'criterion hut our own. which, so far as tho1 voice*and accent" are concerned,^is decidedly a bad one. That' voice culture has suffered in consequence is very'evident, and at present in neither, our schools nor onr homes; is any'decided effort being made to cor-' rect what is distinctly a national, detect , "Musical voices such as are heard in every class in'England we probably can^ 'never attain, to, but if modulated tones' 'and clear enunciation were insisted upon - in������school and, family and' the, importance of a'pleasant voice-made apparent to the 'pupils < 'and 'children" agreeable voices would be the rule,, uot,'the exception."-,- Ncw York Tribune'. . . , i .

Mrs. Bingen, in an article in Cassell's Magazine' on "Hair ,aud Headdresses," _ays: "It must not be 'overlooked that many 'uncivilized people express age, position-and married or single state by the way they dress their locks. After all, when one comes to think of it, the idea is just as practical as the wearing of a golden t-and on one finger. The wedding ring is not always in evidence here, for a lady is ofttimes gloved, and while some married men wear the circlet in England and on the continent others do not, and, again, many bachelors sport the very ring that should only be used to proclaim the we-Jded state. But the Zulu woruan^ is really more practical, for a first glance at her coiffure assures the observer whether she is maid or wife. The cone 'shaped erection is the legitimate symbol of her- state ot wifehood, and, indeed, cannot be legally worn till the marriage rites are duly completed.t -Save for this all important cone, the' bride's' head ,is closely shaved, an assagai being used to perform this delicate operation."

Charlotte Bronte's word of advice,, to women, matrimonial wise, is every bit as applicable today as it was when it was first written:, ~ ��������� - ' - "I know that if-women wish to escape" the stigma of husband hunting they must' act and look like marble or clay, cold,expressionless,--bloodless; for every appear- 'ance of .feeling of joy, sorrow, friendli- , ness,'; antipathy,- admiration, disgust, is alike construed by the< world "into an attempt to hook a husband. Nevermind! -'"Well meaning Women have their own consciences to comfort them, after all. Do not, therefore, be too much'afraid of showing" yourself as you are, affectionate and good hearted; do not too harshly.repress sentiments and feelings excellent in*4 themselves because you fear that some puppy may fancy that you are letting them out to fascinate him; do,.not condemn yourself to live only by halves, because if you showed.too much animation - some pragmatical . thing in breeches might take.it into his'pate-to .imagine that-you designed to devote your life to his "inanity."

After deducting the in- crease caused,by growth of popula- - ....i, -....-��������� hj.i-.---U or new I'liuuinys, thero has been a rise of *i0 per cent. This _j-.create has been, by 'no means uniform. Some parts 'have" degenerated. For instance, there are 'flats in Victoria street which some time ago fetched ������300 a year,, and now can be had for,-������200. The outer circle of inner London has sunk at a rapid rate, but there are parts, especially around -the'" busier thorough- ,fares in -the city, that have trebled in value in little more than a decade. Large sections of slum property in.Ea.st London have' doubled their returns in four years. The district around Cornhlll .is now the most highly rented spot on earth. - Not. long, since one-room near the Royal Exchange let for between r������2,000 and ������3,000 a year. Within the, past few weeks a house agent ^advertised"' certain _, propertics^in ���������Throgmorton street ' to let.'' For seven telephone boxes on the 'cround floor ������250 a year of rent was asked for, each: For a'suite of three rooms on the mezzanine floor ������1.000 a"year .was' asked'.. Six rooms on the first floor were offered at ������2,000 a year. .For shops Bond street is the'r dearest thoroughfare'-' in' ; ,the .world. * Broadway in' New York comes next, and a limited radius; near the Place de l'Opera in Paris ranks third.- A ��������� small- shop in Bond street fetches , readily from ������750 to ������1,300 a year.- This includes the t shop , and basement, but not, of course, the'- remainder of the house. .The shops m P.ee-ent street cost .even more, but then 'they ���������' are larger, thus making the .rent-per square foot work out less.' , ��������� ~ .,',''' - In " Cock-spur street valucst have gonecup 50-.per cent, in a very short xime, and acute agents'now'regard it ' as one' of the best- selling situations in London. Business premises there 'fetch' from ������000 to ������4-,'000 a year. The demand for property round -the Trafalgar Square district is exceedingly, keen. Recently an agent for certain coronation business wanted one office in the neighborhood of St. James' "for which "he offered ������300. Ho could not obtain it. The rise of ,-values in London was very plainly shown in some of the compensation ' cases that arose through the new Holborn Strand street improvement scheme. Thus in Holywell street valuers declared that, shops rented at ������100 a year on lease' were/ now worth quite ������250 a year. A rent had been paid for a house in the Strand- at ������1.75 a year. It was arranged that the new lease was" to be at the rate of' ������������������375 a year. For -premises oh the other side of the street, .almost opposite, the ejected person had been asked payment of ������5,000, - and a rental of ������900. Another house let - on lease at ������175 a year, and was partly sublet as follows: Shops, ������185; rooms, ������4.07. In nearly all London buildings rent is not an 'inclusive item. The tenant has to-pay his own rates and taxes, and to provide for his own cleaning, lighting, and heating. In some newer" buildings, however, the American plan is being adopted. Thus in the Birkbeck Bank Chambers, the enormous pile facing Holborn and running toward Fleet street, the one rent charged includes rates, taxes, and office cleaning.- Newer buildings1 ���������will go even beyond this. In. the prooosed skyscraper in the Strand, at the bottom of , the new central London avenue, rents are to include, as they do in America,1 heating, lighting, cleaning, rates, and taxes. ,.In short, the one charge will cover everything. In estimating rents, London owners make considerable reductions for. top floors. The higher you go, the less you pay/ even though there is a lift. Thus in one building, a set of 13 rooms on the first floor realizes ������1 .,- 200 a year. A set of two rooms on the sixth floor is let for ������38. The family solicitor who wishes a nice suite of rooms near Lincoln's Inn Fields may count himself fortunate if he gets them for ������300 a year. "Reasonably rented offices can often be obtained off Queen Victoria street, a set of two going sometimes for ������60 and ������70. There are nearly, always odd rooms, which have some drawbacks, such as a cjark' outlook, or a tiring approach, to be had at'a low rental. Turning from business premises to private houses, the increase in rent takes a somewhat different form. The people who are highest rented in proportion to their incomes are undoubtedly the slum dwellers around ' Spitalfields. There you can find people earning 14 shillings a week who pay 6 shillings of that for the rent of one room: We find there that the worse the house the more in proportion the rent. Thus a respecta ble fanmy with a- little furniture , can get two or three rooms for a rent working out ' from, 3s. 6d. to 5s.. a room. The man on the verge of destitution, with no furniture, has difficulty in finding a room at Gel. f-ndimr a room at 6s. From Spitalfields to Mayfair is a n-rc-it .jump/ Ma.vf.ur to-day shows in sortie parts a great rise, and 'in ' thcr parts rather ��������� a', decrease in Jt is- difficult tu, state the yoarly figures, because, rule, the occupiers buy , nav so many thousand ilaching ������200 a year. But even in Kensington and" Mayfair ' there are side streets, unfashionable, where you can ootaui a whole house for ^OU oi ������S0 a year. < * To bring the cost "of rent home to the individual let us .suppose that ,he wants to take a, house somewhere in ihe four-mile radius. ( On its circumference he, can, be accommodated with a' charming little residence of^the bijou order for, from ������35 to ������7o a .year.'

If he approves of the experiment he "will be able to "save at least half this amount by taking - a similar- house for himself, iAmbition now having a free rein, his next ' move will be to one of the squares where Horses stand'before the doors in pairs. Six hundred pounds a year would be, a reasonable sum to exchange for this dignity, and as better houses fall vacant this could be increased until one of the grand houses permits the transfer of anything bet.we?n ������1,000 and ������1,500. In the latter<��������� case the actual^rent might not exceed ������50 or ������75 a year, thc difference being paid as a premium. There are causes for the heavy amount of such rents, the chief of these being the competition for the houses, and the middlemen through whom the transactions have to be made. A dealer often rents a sure house from the agents, and he is noi modest in the matter of pro- lit that he requires. Improved houses in the best Blooms bury squares which fetched ������150 a few years back now fetch ������250. THEY PUT ON STYLE. Travel How Lord am I l.aily Curzon 'llirwus;Smut India..

On January S, 1806, Cape Colony came under the authority of Britain, and has remained so ever since, though the final and formal act of cession by the King of thc Netherlands, was delayed until 1S15. As thus defined, the colony consisted of 120,000 square miles of territory, inhabited by a population, of about 60,000. The scries of events which thus ended in British possession may bo said to have begun in 1795���������when the Butch colonists, catching the revolutionary fever, which then /prevailed in Europe, became restive under the yoke of, Holland and revolted. The British sent a fleet to tho support, of the Prince of Orange, but as Holland was manifestly unable to maintain her restored authority, the colony remained practically, under English rule until the Peace of Amiens in 1������02. The continued insta- bilitv of the Butch rule 'in 1806 led to "the- second occupation by Sir Bavid Baird, ��������� with the,.result, as stated,'that-the Cape has since remained'one of the premier colonics oi the British Empire. , ' '. ��������� i ' f Good Shipliuilcllnar Year.

"With great power and boldness, being filled with the Spirit,,' Stephen had spoken the truth and, like Pe-ler. had accused the council of being the'murderers of Jesus Christ. They, were so cut fo the heart that ihcy wero filled with fury and gnashed their teeth at him. How suggestive was their conduct of^the place ton which they were journeying, where, there is weeping, and gnashing of (c-eth not against others so much as because of their own,torment! (Matt, xiii, 42, 50; xxii, 13.) '<���������" 56. "/And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing on the .right hand'.of God." This is cue of the-fccven times that we find thc phrase in Scripture "heaven opcuod.'," The pas-' sages are Ezek.' i, 1; Matt, iii, 10; John i. 51;-Acts vii, 5G; x, 11; lie v. iv, 1; sis, 11, and they well repay'a careful study, for the.

"Then they cried out with a loud voice0and stopped their ears and ran upon him with one accord.'' This is the first of the four "one accords" of the devil's followers in this, book of the Acts, the others boiug xii',-20; xviii, 12; xix, 20. The number four suggests the four cor-, ners of the earth (Rev. vii, 1), or tho whole earth, and reminds,us that the whole world lieth in the wicked one (I John v, 19, R. V.), and the wicked-oue will never cease his hatred of God or of the people of God.'--We are wise-when we'stop our. ears as David did and .refuse to hear the lijvischievons things that evil people speak-.(Ps,: -xxxviii; 12. 13), but to ��������� stop one's.cars from hearing the things of God is truly-,'the" devil's^work. Refus: ing the-truth','they were believing ^a- lie (II Thess. ivlO/ll), and,'believing'that Jesus of Nazareth was an impostor,"they, judged Stephen to be "guilty <��������� of bias-, phemy, and "in stoning, him thought they, .were obeying their'law (Lev. xxiv, J.6)/. while they themselves were, before God,- the blasphemers and the guilty ones, -Initr- they were blinded by the god of this world (II Cor. iv,'3, 4)..' This is our first introduction to the young man. named Saul, unless, as some think, he.,is. the same voung 'man.who went away, from Jesus 'one day, sorrowfully because h������ loved his possessions. s . . ��������� ' 59. "Lord1 Jesus, receive my spirit. Thus said Stephen as they were stoning, him to death, for he knew whom he believed and saw Him even before he went out to be with Him. When our'Lord Himself was dying. He said, "Father, into Thine hands I commend My spirit. And similar words came from David by the same spirit long- before (Luke xxm, 4C Ps. xxxi, 5), for he also could truly sav: "I trusted in Thee, O Lord." "My times are in Thy hand" (Ps. xxxi, 14,. 15). These dying words of Stephen and of the Lord Jesus give no encouragement to the belief that between death and resurrection the spirit is asleep and unconscious,. If any are not fully persuaded cbncerning;ithe life and bliss of tho believer apart from the body, let them read and believe Luke xvi, 22; xxiii, 43; II Cor. v, .8; Phil, i, 21, 23; Rev. vi, 9-11. GO. "Lord, lay not this sin' to their charge." Like his adorable Lord and Master he prayed for his murderers (Luke xxiii. 34). Our instructions are, "Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you" (Matt, v, 44). And while this is impossible to the natural man, if any man be in Christ ho is a new creature, born from above, a temple o-* the Holy Spirit, a mansion in which the Father and the Son have come to dwell (II Cori v, 17: I Cor. vi, 19, 20; John xiv, 23). and Christ in us can do what He did when here on earth m the body prepared for Iliui. It is our privilege to-yield fully to Him and take as our, motto, "Not I, but Christ" (Gal. ii. 20). '������������������' '���������'������������������'��������� viii 1. "And Saul was consenting unto his death." Hear his own account of what he said to the Lord Jesus long n������t- eiward,;"And I said, Lord, they know that 1 imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on Thee, aud when the blood of Thy martyr Stephen was shed I also was standing by and consenting unto his death and. kept the raiment of them that slew him" (Acts xxii, 19. 20). Beforo Agrippa he said, "I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth, which thing I also did in Jerusalem" (Acts xxvi. 9, 10). And then he went on to tell how not only in ���������.TPHiPsilcm. but in other cities, being exceedingly mad against the saints, he was the means of their imprisonment, punishment and death. Our lesson tells of the greatness of the persecution in Jerusalem after the death of Stephen and how all the believers except the apostles were scattered through Judaia and Gamaria. The Lord's'command was to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," "To be His, witnesses unto the uttermost parts of tho earth" (Mark xvi, 15; Acts i, 8), but up, to this time they seem to have confined their testimonyto Jerusalem, and it required a persecution to scatter them that they might obey His command. Thus He maketh the wrath of man to praise Him and restrains what He does not see fit to use (Ps. Ixxvi. 10). 2. "And devout men carried Stephen to his burial and made great lamentation over him." Well, they did not bury Stephen, but they bunod all that was lelt of him on the earth, the- house in which he had sojourned. 'Stephen himself was "absent from the body., present with the Lord." but his body was asleep, even as Jesus had said of Lnzaru<* when speaking of-his death, "Qur friend Laza-, rus sleepeth" (John' xi, 11-14). There , was no occasion to lament for Stephen', for to him it was a great,gain, but it seemed that the church could ill afford to- lose such a witness. 'We still think when- ' the-faithful witnesses are calh-d home that it is strange when there seems to he such great-need.of them here and there are poemingly so few, but we must'remember that the work-is His who. in undisturbed'majesty, is'at God's right hand.
