AFRICA'S BLACK PERIL REPORTED DEATH OF BAMBAATA MAY HAVE GOOD INFLUENCE. Rider Haggard's Prediction of When the Final Clash Between the Zulus and ths Natal Colonists Will Come ' ���������The Danger of the Race Struggle ���������The Blacks Ane Consolidating��������� Indirect InfluenoB of the White Man. In the interest of peace lt Is to be hoped that the reported death of Bambaata, the Zulu outlaw chief, is true, ���������ays a writer in The Mall and Empire. The revolt in Natal is likely to be suppressed unless some ferocious Ellsha Is found to don the red mantle of rebellion. Ever since it was realized that serious fighting was to be done, the ���������ucoesses of the British troops have been unbroken. Time after time the Zulus have been defeated and driven out. Zt now appears that in the last battle the chief received wounds that have proved fatal. Rider Haggard's Prediction. But those who know the South Af- rloan peoples best are most pessimistie concerning the black peril. They are firm In the belief that sooner or later there will be a great war in South Africa. In his book, "Cetewayo and His White Neighbors," Rider Haggard wrote these words: "It Is obvious that, sooner or later, theo two races (i.e., the Natal colonists and the Zulus) must come into contact, the question' being how long *he present calm will last. To this ���������question I venture to suggest an an- Bwer���������I believe a right one- It will last until the native gets so cramped for room that he has no place left to settle on except the white man's land." The Danger of a Race Struggle. This opinion was given 20 years ago, and, in an interview since the present revolt broke out, he says: "To-day the -state of affairs which I foresaw seems to be at hand, and the solution of the problem is one that must cause anxiety not only to Natal and South Africa, but to the Imperial power, whose forces may be called upon to determine -what might become a very dreadful ���������war. If once their blood is up, the Zulus, whether of Natal or of Zulu- ~landr"are~npt_a~foe-whom-it"i3-possiible- to despise. Moreover, once begun, euch a struggle would very possibly become a. race struggle, and blaze across South Africa like a grass fire over its veldt and hills." The Blacks Consolidating. Another authority who believes a great struggle to toe impending declares that hitherto the greatest safeguard of the whites has been the innate and Implacable jealousy and hatred of the various tribes, which have made a serious combination impossible. Of late, however, the blacks have come to understand each other better by working side by side on the railway* and mines. The spirit of conciliation and consolidation haa been zealously proaoh-ed by the missionaries, apparently blind to the danger of their doctrines when held by the narrow mind* of thoir dliolples. Some mle������ionarl*i have done Ineffable mlichlef In pro- mcrtlng the dootrine of "Africa for Africans." Taking advantage of their religious calling, which renders them praotloally Immune from interference by the authorities, they have Introduced a political aspect Into their movement, and have frequently flred the ambitious yearning*) of the untutored savage by telling him that beyond tha great waters, wln-re they came from, Is a country whore all mon, whlU or black, possesB equal privileges. Germany's Black War. Ths writer who takes this view continues: "Unrest has been Increased hy the pathetically futllo efforts of the German Government to put down the He- rero reibolllon In Herman South\v*Ht Afrloa, There for two and a half year* a small and Insignificant tribe of Hottentots and HernroH, poorly armed, and looked upon with contempt by the Bantu tribes, have succoiwfully defied ths Kalsor's mailed flat and fought an astonishingly sucoesHful campaign, in which rovorsts to tht German troops have oocurred with a monotonous regularity.

Seven Campaigns In a Gsneration. Rider Haggard is of opinion that at bottom the natives like and respect tha Englidh, but hate and fear the Boer, who deals with them savagely after their savage nature. Notwithstanding the supposed liking, it must be remembered that in less than 30 years the British have fought seven important campaigns against the blacks, not including the Bambaata and many smaller risings. The situation is one of gravity, irrespective of the fate of Bambaata. To the whites, as to the lion tanner, there ia_alw&ys danger. AN INFLAMED TENDON NEEDS COOLING. AGENCY OF PAIN. ���������f The Cause and Wot the Effect Physical Inflammation. Inflammation and pain are so closely connected that a person who feels pain In the throat often complains of having a sore throat without examining the throat to see If It is really Inflamed. Hitherto Inflammation has been taken as a cause and pain as Its inevitable effect, but according to a remarkable Investigation by Professor Spiess, reported in the Munich Medizinische Wo- chenschrift, or Medical Weekly, the pain is the cause and the inflammation is ttie effect. If the pain Is calmed by anaesthetics the Inflammation also subsides. For example, inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat can be cured by anaesthetics, and if an anaesthetic is injected into an Incipient boil there is little subsequent inflammation. In the treatment of inflammatory diseases, therefore, painlessness Is an object well worth striving for. Spiess regards the cessation of the nasal secretion of Influenza during sleep as a proof that the inflammation of the mucous membrane is arrested by the insensibility of sleep, and he explains in a similar manner the often observed healing of wounds without Inflammation in insane persons. As an anaesthetic Spiess first employed orthoform, afterward novocain, a substiVite for cocaine, the poisonous character of which makes it unsuitable for use. The inflammation following operations on the tonsils, which is ordinarily very, severe, was almost wholly presented���������by���������ap.plieatio.Ds,__o^ before and after the operation. The Inflammation as well as the pain of wasp stints, mosquito bites and slight wounds was prevented by rubbing them with an aqueous solution of the anaesthetic. It is too soon to attempt an explanation of these remarkable results. The Inflammation appears to be a result of a reflex action transmitted by the sensory nerves. The anaesthetics used should therefore be such as affect those nerves alone and bave no Influence on the vasomotor nerves, which regulate the supply of blood.���������Scientific American. Terrapin Found Alive In Ashes. One of the strangest incidents following tho great flro was* the finding of a live terrapin in the ruins of a building at the corner of Powell and Washington streets. Miss Charlotte Estes of 1734 Laguna street and Miss Lilly Plowman of Sydney, Australia, went to tbe ruins of the Normal school, whero Miss Estes was a student, and while Investigating conditions noticed something move In the ashes ln a base* ment, Miss Estes climbed down and removed the ashes and debris and found tho terrapin.

Everybody knows that, generally speaking, the effect of cold is to con- tract and that of heat to expand. This general law of nature finds no exception in our bodies, and when any portion of the body gets cold the hlood vessels which traverse it contract, with the result that the flow of blood Is diminished. Subsequent exposure to heat causes the blood vessels to resume their former size and, if anything, to slightly exceed It, owing to the reaction on the effects of the previous cold. The resist of these different operations Is very naturally to crack the surface of the skin and form the unpleasant little wounds which we call "chaps,I!Jrhis_annoy,ance~may_h.e_pr,ei vented by exercising care not to expose the hands to the extremes of cold and heat. If the hands do get thoroughly chilled, care should be taken to see tbat they are warmed again as gradually as possible. Anything like putting them to a hot fire and thus inducing a rapid change in their condition cannot fail to induce "chaps,"% .... LIFE ON EASY STREET.

Tliere are more strong limbed, clear headed, brave hearted people living on Easy street than anywhere else In this broad laud, and their prime condition is tbe natural consequence of living there, for, although you may not have thought of it. there is a close relationship existing between good health and the consciousness of getting on well in life. You can see this for yourself if you will note bow a strong man droops, like a frost nipped flower, who by some mistake loses his position, bis possessions or the esteem of his fellows, one or all. Shylock made a hard bargain with a borrower, and in his effort to foreclose the bond lost his cash and won the contempt and scorn of all men. Mental disturbance followed, including physical ill being, and. staggering away from the Judge's bench and clutching ' at the air, he cried, "I am not well!" But you need not go back so far to get an Illustration. And on the other hand you can see' by observing for yourself how tbe gain, or even the anticipated gain, of a home on Easy street will make a sick man well, quicken dying hopes into life and change the water of sorrow into the wine of Joy. Recent literature has reminded us how a happy turn in the tide of the affairs of Josiah Wedgwood, afterward to become the world's great pioneer pottery artist and inventor, raised him from an invalid's couch and started him upon the road to affluence and distinction among England's Industrial princes. Similarly Mary Woll- stonocraft, afterward tbe mother of the poet Shelley's wife, ill from neglect and discouraged by hardships, was, by the success of her modest ventures In literature, heartened to undertake her great life work, which soon yielded her a handsome royalty. Read the story of Angelina, who lives on East street and has no desire to move and lose her clear headedness and her health. She was engaged to be married to Allan. He was a clerk receiving $12 per week, and she earned $85 a month teaching school. After a few years Angelina explained her continued spinsterhood by saying that she had given Allan time to develop into a. larger money getter, and he had not done it, so "she decided. agalnsTtliFld* visability of exchanging an $S5 a month position for a $50 a month husband. It is quite true tbat when poverty comes in at the door love flies out of the window, but it is not because the Angelinas are without sentiment It is because love cannot feed on incompetency and thrives best on Easy street. . So the importance of everything that will aid any one to get on in the world Is established on a sure foundation��������� the testimony of facts. We do not exalt mere money getting above those qualities of head and heart which make lifo worth living, but rather em- phasic tho honorable getting of It as a consorver of them. And hence the wisdom of living on Easy street The Orchid Family. There seems to bo a general misconception as to Just what an orchid Is. M.tny call any plant which grows on a treo or has somo peculiar feature an orchid. This mistake ls frequently rantla with the pitcher plants and the "tell flowers." The uniting in one ��������������� gnu, called the column, of the stamens and pistils serves to distinguish the orchid family from all related onos. Tho orchid family embraces G,000 or 7,000 spocles, of which comparatively few are found In tlio warm temperate and Almost none ln tho cold temperate Hondo. They aro mostly distributed ln the tropical regions, In hot, humid places. Orchids, howovor, do not Invariably prefer humid conditions. Nearly all tropical orchids grow on trees, but In temperate regions they grow la oarth.���������Youth's Companion. Lost Hoy Like hoat Umbrella.

If the water gets too dirty, pour a little out and add fr������h. If a streak is hard to wash, rub some more soap on it, and throw the piece back into the suds for a few minutes. LASTLY COMES THE RINSING, which is to be done in lukewarm water, taking special care to get all the dirty suds away, then wring out and bang up to dry.

NATURE'S COURSE By NORA BRYANT * Copyright, 1906, by Ruby Dou_\aa . Mrs. Humphrey shelled the peas In silence, waiting for the outburst. She was a meek little woman accustomed to listening to her beautiful, tall daughter and obeying her behests unques- tionlngly. Alice possessed all the Independence of spirit which her mother lacked. "No, mother," said Alice, seizing viciously on a pea pod and breaking It open, "no, you can't. It just isn't born in you. I've got to do it alone." "Why, Alice!" exclaimed her mother .with hurt Inflection. "Ob, I know It, mother. I'm a horrid cross girl, but I can't help it Father's gone off again and left us with no wood. This has been going on for three years now. Sometimes he remembers to buy a load, but when he does we have to split it And In the meantime we have to scratch and scramble for wood just as If we were as poor as poverty. Just look, we've burned most of the fences till the place looks more ghastly than ever, if possible." "Alice, Alice," sighed Mrs. Hum- " phrey, "you shouldn't talk so of your father." Alice's face flushed deeper and she shelled.a handful,of peas before replying. Then she looked out of the door at the jlmson weedsl. "Everything is all wrong, and It's all father's fault Why shouldn't I marry Bob Phillips? Tell me that? Just because be is a college man and his people live in town father has set himself against him. Now, why does father send me to college if he expects me to settle down to chopping wood and cooking for the rest of my life? No, mother. I'm a sophomore now and I know more than I did once. I am going to marry Bob and father is going to agree to it too." Allce~looked-at-her���������mother-ster-nlyi- *See your hands, blistered-and hard. You creep out and chop wood every time I turn my back. Look at my bands." She held up slender fingers. "Nice things to carry back to the college this fall! Now, I'm going out to chop enough to get dinner with." And, pulling a shade hat over her eyes, Alice walked out.Into the hot harvest sun and picked up the ax. Straight up to the new brooder bouse she went and with a neat swing of the ax began battering up the brooder bouse door. In a few moments the door bad disappeared and in its stead on the ground near by lay a neat pile of stove wood. Still not quite satisfied, Alice looked about her. A hayrack Jay on the ground waiting for the afternoon trip to the oat field. A few firm blows from the broad of the ax, and the side boards showed signs of , weakening, Half a dozen clever cuts wltb the blade, and the boards dropped ��������� to tlie ground. In five minutes tbe pile of wood by the broodor bouse was augmented by a pile of heavy sticks, ond before Mrs. Humphrey could catch breath to Inquire the source a brisk blaze lighted up tbo front of tbe old cooking stove. A little oftor 12 Mr. Humphrey appeared nt tho door. "Mother" ��������� Mrs. Humphrey paused, with a bit of bacon poised on ber fork ���������"mother, can you toll mo what bas happened to tho old hayrack and to the broodor bouse door?" Mrs. Humphrey looked at Alice. ������������������Why ���������why, father, I don't know. Alice, do you know?" Alice poured tho steaming peas Into t cblna dish and then glanced at ber father. "Well," sbo said calmly, "you will find part of tlio door still In tbe srood box, but tbo last of tbo hayrack Is just going up tbo chimney," Then sbe carried tbo dish of^oas Into tba dining room and set It carefully down on tbe table. Tbon Mr, Humphrey began: "Alice, If you wero not grown up I'd send you to bed for two days." Alice squared ber shoulders, looking Into ber father's eyos with an expres- lion strangely liko bis own. "Father," sbe said, "you are not foJr. You. give your men the best sort of Implements with which to do their work. Yon keep tbe horses and cattlo In buildings that are tor their greutest cowiurt, but you ������*pect mother uud mo lo ftud our own moans for doing work that neither of us Is strong enough to do and to live In a building that scorches us in summer ond freezes us In wlntor, To say tbe leust, you ure uot uu,' Tbo ("teat volns swollod In Mr. Humphrey's forehead, and be took a single step toward Allco nnd thon stopped as If controlling himself by a physical effort, "Allco," ho nmld, "I forbid you to do* stroy any moro of my property. Just bow to punish you for whnt you hnvo already dono I don't know. I shall wait until tonight." Tlmt afternoon Alice was left alone, as ber mother was called away to see a sick neighbor. For awhile she sat quietly, then suddenly Rho flushed a little. Far down tbe road sbo could see tbo flguro of a man and a bono moving leisurely tnrougn tne jjjeat j, jUlce smoothed her hair and gla^ced-dowh at the dainty whiteness of|-|jer gown. Then she waited. Soon tj^^der turned into the yard, with an^j^^hdut at the sight of Alice. A fine'^o^in^young fellow r-as Bob Phillips"'in-fes natty riding togs, sitting his saddle?witb the ease of a westerner. And,a charming figure was Alice in the doorway with the color deepening In her fcheeks, her great dark eyes brightening and the dimples coming to the corners of her mouth. "Oh. R^h." she cried as he dlsmonn* ed and tied his horso, "I've been wishing for you. Everything is so topsy turvy in this horrid place!" Bob looked anxious. "Is it your father again?" he asked as he drew her down on the step beside bim. Alice told bim of ber morning's experience. Bob's face darkened. "Look here, Alice," be exclaimed, "I'm not going to stand this. I knew things were pretty bad, but I never knew you had to do this sort of work." He took her band, looked at the pretty pink palm with the row of blisters across It "I'm not going to sav anv of the things to you that 1 think about your father. But this is going to stop! This architect business is slow in starting, but I've got enough to keep the pot boiling. I'm on my way out to the Scotts' summer home now. Theywant me to plan an addition for them. But tonight I'm coming back to tell your father, that we are going to be married at once." Alice shook ber head a little fearfully. "No, Bob, dear," sbe said. "I can't leave mother that way, and I want to finish college first. No; father has got to change. There is no sense in bis acting bo to such a dear as you." Bob grinned appreciatively as he drew her to him, but he lost none of his look pf determination. "That's all very well, Alice, darling, but I've a few rights, and after supper I'm coming back and read the rict act to your father." Alice 6ighed. Then she nodded her head. "Yes, come back. I don't know just how, but some way I'm going to 6hame father." "Don't you worry," said Bob. "I'll fix him." ���������As-Bqb-disappeared���������Alice^s-glance- wandered toward the broad stump of a tree that stood in the dooryard. As she looked her eyes lighted with a mischievous smile. Then she began her preparations ��������� for supper. In a short time she appeared in the yard with two covered dishes in her hands. These she placed on the top of, the old stump where the sun blazed down on their shining covers. Then she returned to the house to set the table. The hay wagon rattled into the yard. "Well," called Mr. Humphrey, seeing Alice in the door, "isn't supper ready 1" Alice looked anxiously toward tbe old stump. "I'm afraid things bave not begun to boll yet" she answered. Mr. Humphrey looked at the strange array of utensils on the stump. "Alice," he said, "what nonsense Is this?" "It means just this," answered Alice bravely. "You refnse to buy wood for us, ond this noon you forbade me to destroy any more of your property. So when It camo time to get supper the stump seemed the hottest place at hand, and I put the vegetables out tbere to let nature take Its course. It ls much easier for me." Mr. Humpbrcy stood ln silence. Al* Ice watched bim anxiously, Slowly the angry flush died awny, and tbe corners of his mouth twitched. Ho turned to tbo man wbo bad boen an Interested spectator. "Jim," be said, ������������������you might as well finish up tbo old hayrack, Split up enough wood to get supper wltb." Tben be walked Into the bouse witb novor so small a twinkle ln bis eyes.

THE LUNACY OF LOVE. Bulwer LyttonV Letter* to Bla Own "Adored Poodle." To Miss Louise Devey, the former friend and the executrix of Lady Lytton, had been confided a packet of 298 letters, representing the correspondence of Bulwer Lytton with Miss Wheeler in tlie days of their early courtship. Miss Devey published these with a preface, stating that she took this action in order to vindicate the memory of her dead friend. In what manner the letters could be regarded as a vindication it is difficult to see, though tbey serve as a remarkable contribution to the literature of epistolary lovemaking. The extravagant absurdity of some of them is almost beyond belief, and two passages may be quoted as illustrative of many others. In the letters Bulwer Lytton addresses Miss Wheeler as "Poodle" and signs himself "Puppy" or "Puppo." "My Adored Poodle: Many, many thanks for oo darling letter. Me is so happy, me is wagging my tail and putting my ears down. Me Is to meet oo tomorrow. 0 day of days! I cannot tell you how -very,. very happy you have made me!

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS. A Physician Warns Against the Dangers ot Overtraining:. Dr. Sargent of Harvard is not an enthusiast on public school developments in the way of girls' teams of basketball or hockey,-players. In a recent talk? on the subject he expressed the opinioff%iat girls and women are in possible danger of overdoing athletics when they take up certain sports which are popular with boys and men. Let woman rather coniiue herself to the lighter and more graceful forms of gymnastics and athletics, says Dr. Sargent and make herself supreme along these lines, as she has already done in aesthetic dancing. Among the athletic sports and games likely to prove injurious to most women if played in the form in which they are played by men Dr. Sargent mentioned football, ice hockey, basketball, pole vaulting and heavy gymnastics. These games prove injurious to women, he said, because of the limitations imposed by their physical configuration, the tendency to become masculine in form and character if they try to excel in masculine pursuits and their inability to bear prolonged mental and physical strain. Nevertheless sueh sports could be so modified as to mefrt the peculiar requirements of the sex, with the result that, they could be played by women with reasonable hope of physical, mental and moral development. The advice is so 60und and timely that it ought to have the widest possible publicity. The .extreme to which some matches of basketball among girls of high schools has been carried right iri Massachusetts would be enough of itself to convince the average observer that Dr. Sargent had spoken none too sharply. There can be a hysteria in sport as well as in any other healthy diversion. Nor is the hysteria always confined to women's athletics, but at least it ie more harmful there.���������Boston Advertiser. JAPANESE DANCES, DRESSING THE NECK. An Important,, Factor In Improving a Woman's Appearance. Few women realize how much their appearance depends on the way they dress their neck. Women with short Tbey Are not Highly Amusfns men* Are Not Indelicate.1 The form of amusement of a dramatic nature that most interests the traveler in Japan is the geisha-dance, also the kagura,-or common religious dance, and tbe.ad������ufua:mai, a religious dance performed in the auc-ient Shimo- Gamo Shinto temple near Kyoto. These dances are not particularly amusing to witness, though all sights of the kind are more or less amusing when witnessed for the first time. The best geisha dancing takes place in Kioto, the next best in Tokyo, but so called geisha dances may be seen iu several of the large towns. Almost more interesting to see, however, are the religious dunces. In the kagura; for instance, the dancer usually wears a loose white chemise garment, a pair of flapping trousers, generally of a bright red color, and a long, transparent covering formed like a cloak and ornamented with designs resembling crests. Her hair hangs down her back in a single tress, flowers adorn her forehead, and ber face is besmeared with a white compound, said tp consist chiefly of white lead. In her hand she holds a bunch of small bells that is not unlike a child's toy. This she shakes at intervals during the dance. Sometimes several girls dance at one time, but in every case their movements are accompanied by a mournful, sacred chant and by a tune played upon a drum and flute by priests. It ls wrong to suppose, however, as many Europeans who have visited Japan do suppose, that the mikakoodori dance is indecent About the genuine geisha dance there is nothing even indelicate or suggestive.���������St. James'*Gazette.

Prince Nicholas of Montenegro was obliged to follow Peter the Great's example in order to make his.subjects work at all. The haughty Montenegrins have from time immemorial been accustomed to look down upon the mechanic arts of industry as vile and de- "gmdlngr~PrinM^Nrcli31a^"be^oilght~" them with all his, eloquence to learn the necessary arts of life, but all ln vain. He used every method, including the "argumentum baculinum," or "paternal" method, with a stick, to which the great Peter was so addicted. Even this argument fell flat. Then the prince tucked up his sleeves, betook himself to a smithy and hammered iron for a day. This method proved effectual. Tbe Montenegrins camo to the conclusion that the work of the 6mithy was not incompatible with tbeir dignity. Shoemakiug, however, tbey could not be Induced to look upon as other than degrading, rersuasiou fail- lug, tbe monarch turned cobbler. This was too much for the Montenegrins. Whon tbey saw him put his hand to the waxed tkread and the shoe leather bis faithful lieges gathered round upon their knees and besought him not to sully his royal fingers by touching, the accursed thing. "Beat us nil," tbey cried, "only do not do yourself such dlshouor." The prince paid no attention and worked till nightfall. Next day the cobblers' shops were full of Montenegrins eager to enroll themselves as apprentices lo the trade which Nlcbolas_ had ennobled by b> own example.���������London Mall, ... ^'ft Shakespeare's Indifference to Fame;- Shakespeare never took any trouble to huud himself down to fume and posterity.

I was a mt.-i boy at the time. By accident I killed another boy in play. It was an old gun we were playing with, and nobody knew it was loaded. I had often quarreled with the other boy. That is why they thought I had done it on purpose. Tliere was a dance that night, I had got'up in the evening, crawled out of the window and stolen away. We were in Itiekard's stable. I remember how tlie people ran out with lanterns. They would have hung me��������� Borne of them���������or given me the blue beech if a boy friend had not hurried me away. It waa a terrible hour. I was stunned. I could say nothing. They drove me to the burg, the boy's father chasing us. I got over into Canada, walked tb Montreal and there went to sea. It was foolish, I know, but I was only a boy of fifteen. I took another name. I began a new life. Nehemiah Brower was like one dead. In Frisco I saw Ben Gil man. He had been a schoolmate in Faraway. He put his hand on my shoulder and called me the old name. It was hard to deny H���������the hardest thing I ever did. I waa homesick. I wanted to ask him about my mother and father and my sister, who was a baby when I left. I would have given my life to talk with him. But I shook my head. " 'No,' I said, *my name is not Brower. You are mistaken.' "Then I walked away, and Nemy Brower stayed in his grave. "Well, two years later we were cruis- T5fTfF-OT^Srdnw^to*^Vair-Dieman*s: Land. One night there came a big 6torm. A shipmate was washed away ln the dark. We never saw him again. They found a letter In his box that said his real name \ya's Nehemiah Brower, son of David Brower of Faraway, N. Y., U. S. A. I put it there, of course, and the captain wrote a letter to my father about tbe death of his son. My old self was near done for, and the man Trumbull had a new lease of life. You see, In my madness I bad convicted ana executed mvself." He paused a moment. His mother put her hand upon his shoulder, with ft word of gentle sympathy. Then be went on: ' "Well, six years after I had gone away, one evening iu midsummer we came into the harbor of Quebec. 1 had been long In the southern seas. When I wont ashore on a day's leave aud wandered off In tho tields and got the smell of the north I went out of my head���������went crazy for a look at the bills of Faraway and my*own people. Nothing could stop me then. 1 drew my pay, packed my things In a bag, aud off I went. Ix>ft the burg afoot tbe day after; got to Faraway in tho evening, It wiih beautiful���������the scent of the new Iiti.v thut stood In cocks and wlnrows on the hill, the noise of tho crlcketi**, tho smell of tho grain, the old house, just as I remembered them, just as 1 had dreamed of them a thousand times. And when I went by thu gate Bony, my old dog, euiiio out. and burked at ine, and I spoke to lilm, und lie know me and came nnd licked my hands, rubbing upon my leg. I Bat L .f. ,t| if *.A._t. rTTT vyy eyes with his handkerchief.' "That was Hope," 1 whispered. "That was Hope," he went on. "All the king's oxen could not have dragged me out of Faraway then. Late at night I went off into the woods. The old dog followed to stay witb me until he died. If it hud not been for him I should have been hopeless. I had with me enough to eat for a time. We found a cave in a big ledge over back of Bull pond. Its mouth was covered with briers. It had a big room and a stream of cold water trickling through a crevice. I made it my home, and a fine place it was, cool in summer and warm in winter. 1 caught a cub panther that fall and a baby coon. They grew up with me there and were the only friends I had after Bony except Uncle Eb." "Uncle Eb!" I exclaimed. "You know how I met him," he continued. "Well, he won my confidence. I told him my history. I came into the clearing almost every night. Met him often. He tried to persuade me to come back to my people, but I could not do it. I was insane. I feared something, I did not know what. Sometimes I doubted even my own identity. Many a summer night I sat talking for hours with Uncle Eb at the foot of lone pine. Oh, he was like a father to me! God knows what I should have done without him. Well, I stuck to my life, or, rather, to my death, there in the woods, getting fish out of the brooks and game out of the forest and milk out of the cows in the pasture. Sometimes I went through the woods to the -store-at-T-ifton-for-flour-and-pork.���������One- night Uncle Eb told me if I would go out among men to try my hand at some sort of business he would start me with $1,000. Well, I did it. I had also $100 of my own. I came through the woods afoot. Bought fashionable clothing at Utica and came to the big city. You know the rest. Among men my fear has left me, so I wonder at it. I am a debtor to loye, the love of Uncle Eb and that of a noble woman I shall soon marry. It has made me whole and brought me back to my own people." "And everybody knew he was innocent the day after he left," said David. "Three cheers for Uncle Eb!" I demanded. And we gave them. "1 .declarej". snid he. "In all my born ��������� days never see soch fun. It's trec-mon- jlous! I tell ye, them 'et takes care uv others '11 be took cure uv���������Mess they do it o' purpose."

Is tbe great American nation one of those mighty empires which have risen in the world now and then, dwarfing all other organizations of society? This question is of Immense import to Europe. Within the last few years an enormous literature has grown up around the subject. Among modern sociologists none speaks with greater authority than Guglielmo Ferrero. Long and scientifically he has studied our country; his opinion of the present, his forecast of the future, represent the best European thought upon the destinies of the United States. To many it will seem an exaggeration of our greatness; to others it will show an undue distrust of democracy; but, ln any case, it is the word of a scientific historian���������of a man who Is looking for the truth. Neither wealth nor science can change the laws that govern the growth of nations. For Signor Ferrero the United States stands today in the position of tbe Roman Empire in tbe days of Augustus. He pictures an America which is bound to go the Roman way, Increasing In power, draining Incalculable wealth from tbat orient which enriched Rome, forced in spite of hereditary democratic ideals to make itself strong by land and sea ln order to hold its own and guard its world wide trading flag, overshadowing the huge modern world as Rome did the little civilization of the Mediterranean. After calm reflection and ln a cold, scientific way, the thinkers and statesmen of old Europe predict for the new world this visionary future, and brooding oyer it they seem to be in the very shadow of the peril. The practical American, as he drops irom the tall end of a street car and goes about bis business, may not realize that Europe sees in him the terrible fellow who is to go swaggering down the way of the world, taking the wall of every one, in the good old Roman fashion; but so it ls. He Is���������even when he wheels the baby abroad���������an eighty-millionth part of the great American peril, ln which fact he may find a certain measure of .satisfaction.^KanceJ]ipjiip_sonJn_Mun- sey's. THE MAN FISH. THE TIDY TADPOLE. Bow This Cheerful Little Cannibal Kate and Develops, A wonderful spirit of tidiness seems to pervade the tadpole world. They always eat whatever has become useless���������their own eggs, their superfluous companions. Even those who are only weakly are cleared out of the way and the victims take it all as a matter of course. I have disturbed a strong member of the community just as he had begun to dine off the tail of a weaker brother, but the sufferer has not troubled to escape���������he simply waited till the fratricide returned to complete his deadly work. For some time there is no grave change in the tadpoles. They simply grow and become so far transparent that their internal mechanism, which consists of one coil of Intestines, is plainly visible. When, however, they are about three months old a careful observer can distinguish a tiny foot on either side of tbe base of the tail. These grow slowly, but seem unable, to move independently until shortly before tbe border land is passed which leads to perfect froghood. The bind legs have reached their full size before the front ones appear, and, while the feet grow slowly, the hands are ready made and can be used at once. For a day or two they can be seen under the* skin before they venture forth, and their possessor is very restless and excited. He rushes madly about, jostling his comrades, and no doubt being voted a bore; then a more vigorous effort breaks the skin and the tiny band and arm appear. There, seems some rule about the order of precedence here, as there is when the whiskers go, for last year my tadpoles, almost without exception, had th.ir right hands some hours before the left, while on previous occasions I have had an entirely left handed crew.���������Chambers' Journal. MUSIC AT SEA. A Peculiar Animal With a lor* et Human Appearance. There used to be traditions among the sailors of mermaids at sea, half women and half fish, and there are fishes which may have given rise to the belief, from their resemblance to human beings. One of these is called the man flsh. This animal inhabits tbe mouths of the Amazon, Orinoco and other South American rivers. Its name (manatee) has reference to tho peculiar form of its swimming paws. These are composed of loft parts and a membrane which infolds tho bones of the hands aud Angers. But ln the manatee four flat nails aro seen attached to the edge of the paw. The tail also is peculiar, being about ono-fourth tho length of tbe body and oval shaped, not unlike that of the ot-. ter. Tho head is round, attached to the'' body without a neck. The muzzle, in which the nostrils aro placed, is large and fleshy, the upper lip cleft and bristled at the side, the lower lip much shorter and tho mouth small, Wben seen at a distance, witb tbe an* terior part of tbo body out of tbe water, they are sometimes taken for some croature approaching to human shape, The effect bas been deepened by tho thickset hairs of the muscle, giving somewhat the appearance of human hair or a beard. Thus the Spanish and the Portuguoso give tbe manatee a namo wblcb signifies woman flsh, and tbe Dutch call it tho dudong baardman- netzo or little bearded man.

Conditions Under Which Ships-* Sail* Sometimes Sing. Some curious facts have been noted with regard to the sound conducting qualities of ships' sails. When ren- -deceOoncaveJ^ widespread sails of a ship are said to be excellent conductors of sound. A ship was once sailing along the coast of Brazil, far out of sight of land. Suddenly several of the crew, while walking aloug the deck, noticed that when passing and repassing a particular spot they always heard with great distinctness the sound of bells chiming sweet music, as though being rung but a short distance away. Dumfounded by this phenomenon, they quickly communicated th,e discovery to their shipmates, but none of them was able to solve the enigma as to the origin of theso seemingly mysterious sounds which came to then across the water. ' ��������� - Months afterward, upon returning to Brazil, the cvew determined to satisfys their curiosity Accordingly they mentioned tho clrcumstanco to their friends and woro informed that at the time whon tho sounds wero heard tbe bells tn the cathedral of San Salvador, on the coast, had boen ringing to celebrate a feast held in honor of one of the saints. Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored by a gentle, steady bnese, h traveled a distance of upward of mllos over tho smooth water and had been brought to u focus by the sails at tho particular locality In whlcli the sweet sounds wore flrst board. This ts but ono of several Instances of a similar kind, trustworthy author!- ties claiming thut this samo music Is often heard under somewhat the same circumstances and cHpoclully ln a moisture laden atmosphere.���������London Tit' Rita.

" ��������� Especially during the teething period children are likely to suffer from eczema, and unless it is properly * checked there 'is danger of it spreading to other parts of the body and becoming chronic. There is no rival to Dr. Chase's Ointment as a cure for baby eczema, as it is usually called, and it can be used with positive assurance that it will not injure the most delicate skin, but, on the contrary, keep it soft and smooth. Mr. Chas. K. Moss, Berlin, Ont., states: "My child, six months old, was a terrible sufferer from itching sores on her body. The doctors called it salt rheum, but could not cure it. We also tried remedies recommended by the people, but they had no beneficial effect. Having read of Dr. Chase's Ointment, I decided to try it and am glad to say that it completely cured her before half the box was used." Mr. F. Brooke, High River, Alberta, writes:���������"For two years I was troubled with eruptions on the face and neck and tried various ointments and blood mixtures with no benefit. Soon after beginning the use of Dr. Chase's Ointment the eruptions began to disappear and my face 'is now completely better. I have recommended this ointment to a friend who suffers from a similar complaint." Dr. Chase's Ointment is a necessity in every home where its merits are known, and is indespensable in the nursery; 60 cents a box, at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto. A BALLAD OF BALLOONACY SALMON WHICH LEAP. New Brunswick's Fishery Commissioner Tells of Seeing Them at Play. Mr. D. G. Smith, Fishery Commissioner of New Brunswick, telle an interesting story of how he obtained the photograph of the "leaping salmon" exhibited in the window of the Intercolonial Railway office, Toronto, Ont. Many people who had never heard of leaping salmon doubted the genuineness of this product of the photographic art. After remarking that his picture had obtained prizes in magazines, Mr. Smith says: "As the photograph is exactly what it purports to be, and has been favorably Judged by those who are competent in such / matters, and as the Intercolonial Railway has added to its excellent series of exhibition bromides, it is right that "the aspersion~"~on~~ifs genuineness should be met by a statement of the circumstances under which it was taken. "One day in early August five years ago, when visiting the Big Sevogle, a tributary of the Northwest Mlramichl, I observed a large number of salmon attempting to leap over the nine feet perpendicular fall a short distance above the Square Forks, I timed the leaps and counted 33 in 45 minutes. The scene suggested a unique photograph, so the next week found me back to the spot with my old camera and plate3, I made a raft of three cedar sleeper logs by battening them together with short boards* nailed to their upper sides, and by means of two suitable lines leading from the up stream end, I had my assistants draw It, with myself seat- ed on lt with the camera on Its tripod in front of me, as near to the fall as I dared to approach and fasten It there. The salmon were not leaping so plentifully as the week before, but I snapped nine of my sixteen plates the first afternoon, and the remaining seven the noxt. It was all guess work with a mechanical focus, and although I had, on developing them, but one perfect picture out of the sixteen plates, I felt that the result was'worth going somo forty miles to get."

A young woman, a blue ribbon, and a pet lamb were seen on York street, near Front, the other afternoon, says The Toronto Star. Beheld separately, Che sight would have been unprecedented, though lambkins don't frolic every day on the King's highway. The fchree- In-one attraction, so to speak, was different. The lady's name may not have been Mary, and the lamb in the flesh boasted not the snowy fleece attributed to the lamb celebrated In poetry. Truth to tell, the lamb that almost blocked York street needed a bath. Sundry rolls on the city pavements had impaired the immaculate whiteness discovered by the poet. SHU, the juvenile sheep created a sensation.. Crowds gathered, and so did the police. Incidentally several dogs took an interest in the woolly visi- tor. The lamb was timid, but its own- er had a^parasol; ancTlvhen she strucfif out a canine yelped.., So far as the people were concerned the lamb was unconcerned. It was not alarmed even when a boy stole up, pocket knife in hand, to cut the tether. The urchin was caught in the act, however, and narrowly escaped a hearty cuff on the ear. "Mary and her lamb" proc&eded down front and up Simcoe, "They are going to sihool," a newsboy remarked. "What are you giving us?" scoffed, another. "School's out." If little lambs are like little boy3, thl3 little lamb was not on its way to sohool. Its gambols implied immunity from care, but if a butcher who passed in his rig had had his way the lamb's spirits would have slumped. "that's a plump little animal," he observed. "What'll you take for It?" The butcher was told that he was a brute. He grinned, so the lady was right The Flounder.
