occasional lifts over rough places, Tota
managed to walk up the slope on the
hillside where l had shot the Petite
buck. At length we reached 1t, and,
looking at the country beyond, gave
an exclamation of dismay. To say
that 1t was desert would be saving too
much; 1t was more like the Barroo In
the Cape-a vast sandy waste, studded
here and there with low shrubs and
scattered rocksI Butitwas great ex-
panse Of desolate land, stretching as far
as the eye could reach, and bordered far
away by line Of purple hills, in the
center of which great solitary peak
scared high into the air.
'Indaba-zimbi,' said, I'VE can never
cross this II we take six days"
"As you will, Macumazahn," he an
swered; "but 1 tell you that there
and he pointed to the peak-'there the
white man lives. Turn which way you
like, but II you turn you will perish"
l reflected for moment. Our case
was, humanity speaking, almost hopeless.
1t mattered little which way we went.
We were alone, almost without food,
with no means of transport, and child
to carry. AS well perish In the sandy
waste as on the rolling veldt or among
the trees Of the hillside. Providence
alone could save us, and wo must trust to
Providence.
Come on" said, lifting Tota on to
my back, for she was already tired. "All
roads lead to rest"
How am TO describe the misery OF the
next four days? How am l to tell how
we stumbled on through that awful des-
ert, almost without food, and quite with
out water, for there were no streams,
and we saw no springs? We soon found
how the case was, and saved almost all
the water in our bottles for the cnild.
To look back on 1t Is like nightmare.

the third night; We were nearly mad
with thirst. Tota was in comatose
condition. Indaba-zimbi still had lit
tie water in his bottle-perhaps wine
glassful. We moistened her lips and
our blackened tongues with 1t. Then
we gave the rest to the child. 1t revived
her. She awoke from her swoon to sink
into sleep.
See, the dawn was breaking. Tho
hills were not more than eight miles or
so away now, and they were green.
There must be water there.
Come" said.
Indaba-zimbi lifted Tota into the
kind Of sling that we had made out OF
the blanket in which to carry her on
our backs, and we staggered on for an
hour through the sand. She woke cry
ing for water, and, alasl we had none to |
give her; our tongues were hanging
from our lips, we could scarcely speak. |
We rested awhile. and Tota merci-
fully swooned away. Then Indaba-
zimbi took her. Though he was SO

Why II Il Impossible TO Define What IL

Why II Il Impossible TO Define What IL
Humorous and What Is Not.
Ignorance and lack Of experience may
invest the humorous with an awful So
lemnity, In the presence OF which tho
faintest smile would be impossible. II
you observe q man with wooden leg
sit down in the street without warning,
unstrap his timber support and brandish
II over his head you would probably
obey an irresistible impulse TO laugh.
But the savage, whose experience does
not embrace wooden legs, would be awe
struck ut such spectacle. Mr. Romilly,
In one OF his books on New Guinea, tells
US how British sailor who had fallen
into the hands OF savages saved his lifo
by hrstdriving his clasp-knife INTO his leg
while eating his dinner and then remov-
ing 1t altogether. The Same author
tells Of another Englishman who saved
himself from an awkward predicament
by suddenly taking his false teeth from
his mouth and exhibiting them to q
crowd Of astonished savages. Not only
did this ridiculous exhibition save the
mans life but the King loaded him with
honors, exclaiming: ~ am an old man,
but thank God have lived 10 see this
day."
From these examples the following
conclusion is arrived ut: Every thing
incongruous is ludicrous; but IL the in.
congruity arouses feelings Of horror,
disgust fear or awe acute enough 10
overcome the sense OF the ridiculous,
laughter does not result. Hence Il Is
impossible TO define dogmatically what
Is humorous and what is not Sensitive
ness 10 horror, disgust or fear depends
upon radical distinctions, degrees Of
civilization, personal idiosyncrasy. And
20 IL comes about that the ludicrous Is
ephemeral, and almost parochial. ~
The English humor OF the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries was
chiefly connected with the violation OF
tho sanotity Of marriage. There was
nothing In the world 30 funny as
cuckold. The Parisians OF the nine.
teenth century are very much OF the
same opinion as our ancestors were, but
the English Of to-day, for some reason
or other. fail 10 see the humor OF con-
jugal inldelity. Mr.. DuMaurier's Jokes
In Punch often appeal TO the smallest
audience in the world. The Londoner
who is familiar with the oddities Of
those who haunt bathrooms and display
their ample shirt fronts at ''smart" par
ties no doubt appreciates them. But
Berlin would shrug It's shoulders at
them, and even birmingham might be
forgiven II 1t missed their point.

The stock market again showed a moderate
volume OF business. with a steadily advancing
level OF prices to-day, and while there was con
siderable irreguarity in the movement, almost
everything on the active LIST Is higher tonight.
The important movements were confined to
few of the leading STOCKS, and for change the
inactive list developed no important upward
movement. The bears were Inclined to test the
market again a. the opening this morning, but
the temper Of the room is now fairly buliish,
and the continuance of the buying orders for
outside operators held the market steady after
slight concession in prices during the first few
minutes of the trading. The buying then began
In earnest, and from that time until the close
The steady hardening of values, which has be
come the most pronounced Characteristic OF
the market, continued without a break. The
coal stocks, the Changers, aud New England
were the strong features to-day, and all OF
of the list dragged along without feature or
movement beyond the slow appreciation before
mentioned. Atchison and Texas Pacific, with
few other low priced shares, showed signs of
joining in the upward movement to-day but
their final changes were, as arule, unimportant.
There were no new developments TO affect val
ueS to-day, but the same influences remained
in force and the most encouraging sign OF an
aroused feeling that general Improvement Is
begun is the number of GU side orders to buy
now being received by brokers. Even in Rock
Island and Missouri Pacific, although there is
not the slightest indication OF a cessation in
the fight, orders TO buy exceed the selling. and
those stocks kept pace with the remainder of
the list in the advance. To-day the st. Paul
stocks were most prominent, and the preferred
made most handsome gain, rising from 1l4l9
to 1854, and closing at l1s. The common was
again the leader in point OF activity, and it
also scored a material improvement. Delaware
and Hudson came next to st. Paul preferred,
however, making another OF its sharp upward
spurts. Lackawanna, Northwestern, Omaha
and New England comprised the leading strong
stocks. but there was not really weak point in
the market The trusts were not so active, aud
failed to make any material change in their
quotations. The close was active and strong at
about the best prices Of the day. The total sales
of listed stocks were $4,000 shares; unlisted,
5000 shares. The following were the closing
quotations:
