Remarkable as it may seem, the Mashon-
aland prospectors, says London letter, re-
port that in that remote part of Africa,
until recently almost unknown to Euro
peans, they have found evidence of former
occupation by large mining population. as
shown by the remains of extensive alluvial
workings and shafts, and excavations for
small, rich leads, the quartz from which
has been ground on large slabs of granite.
The round stones used as crushing rollers
lie about in hundreds, partially hidden by
accumulated soil and tropical underground.
Africa, doubtless. has many more surprises
in store for the civilized world.

What ails you my hearth
Are you sick? Are you soreY
Are yon dead, or alive?
Though your plight deplore,
know not, for my part,
g. Why so poorly you thrive.
What ais you, my heart?
In your dawn, o my heart.
Like musical wave
OF a fairy land lake,
You danced blithe and brave.
Without thought, without art,
For sweet singing sake,
You sang, o my heart.
In your morning, my heart,
You we're loved, and did love,
With glorious passion,
Part as angels above
Love God, and In part
In the sweet human fashion
OF youth, o my heart.
In your noon, my heart,
You yearned for the light,
Your desire was forsfame
In the battle for right.
You played high part;
You won pure name;-
Then what ais you, my heart?
What is lacking. my heart?
What you craved has been given.
You have wrought you have learned
Then what secret unShriven.
What ill beyond art.
What page yet unturned,
Mars your peace, o my heart?
Yet hear, o my heart?
Success is illusion.
To love is to lose,
And content is confusion.
Ask the gods to impart
All you fam would refuse
All you fear, o my heartl
Ask for death, o my hearth
For that death, bitter-sweet,
That is quick in the grave,
And outlives life's defeat.
Only then will depart
This peace of the slave,
And true peace come, my heart.
Immortal, my heart,
Is your BIRTHS your fate.
Infinity aspire
In bonds finite who wait.
Buy nor sell in earth's mart,
For the rose of desire
Is surrender, my hearth

1t is astonishing how many people there
are who can't find any better way of having
fun than in fooling with didn't-know-it-
was-loaded-pistols, or taking part in mock
marriages. Last Sunday in st. Louis, No..
D. G. Ramsey, a member of the Missouri
legislature, had mock marriage performed
between himself and Miss Bessie Caldwell,
pretty typewriter, for the amusement of
himself and friends, and now he finds that
he is married sure enough. Both he and the
girl say that they were Joking. but lawyers
say that the joke is one they will not forget
soon, as they are as much man and wife as
the law can make them.

Speaker Reed and Major Mckinley don't
want an extra session of Congress and they
are therefore as pleasant as they can posi-
bly, be to the democratic minority. They
know very well thatif they should be as
arbitrary and overbearing as they were dur
ing the first session they would have to keep
a quorum of their own men in the House
all the time to do any business, and that
they would barely be able to do. An extra
session would therefore become necessity.
The prospect is. therefore. that Reed and
Mckinley will continue to be on their good
behavior.

Faliigant's House Drainage Report.


The public. doubtless, read Alderman
Falligant's report on the cost of system
house drainage for this city, published in the
MORNING News yesterday. with surprise
According to his figures system, based
upon Engineer Hering's idea, would cost
only S204.000, of which lot owners would
pay $4,000 and the city $133,o0O. The
amount already received from the trust lots
would pretty nearly pay the city's part of
the cost of the system.
1t is possible, of course. that Alderman
Falligant's estimate is too low, but assum-
ing that the cost of the system to the city
would be a third more, would it not be wise
in the council to take steps at once to pro-
vide the city with it,
AS for lot owners, they would save money
by the system. Those who have their
premises connected with sewers are under a
continual expense to keep the pipes in re.
pair, and those whose premises are not
connected cannot make the connection for
the amount they would be assessed for a
house drainage system.
And, looking at the matter from a sani-
tary standpoint, there is no doubt that the
sooner the city has house drainage system
the better it will be for the city's health.
With good house drainage and good water,
the city's death rate would be as low as that
of any other city in the country.
The thing for the council to do is to put
this house drainage business in the hands of
committee of the most progressive mem
bers of the council-members who favor
house drainage, and who will work for it,
and who will not be satisfied until they have
provided the city with it.

A Jewish citizen of Chicago has made the
remarkable proposition that the Jews of
that city shall build memorial statue
to Jesus, to be placed in the Colum-
bian exposition. His proposition is con-
tanned in letter published in a Chicago
newspaper. In it he says: "a memorial
statue to Jesus erected by the Jews in Chi
cago would mark an epoch in the history of
human fellowship. Such a monument
would be more effectual protest against
the wrongs of the Jews of Russia and Bull
garia than all the resolutions of a thousand
meetings OF bankers. lawyers and bishops
at London or elsewhere. Placed in the
Columbian exposition in 1893, it would be
an object lesson in international magnani-
nifty and brotherly love. 1t would also be
an object lesson to so-called orthodox Jews
After seeing it, they could not fail to
inquire into the real historic and
ethical character of Jesus. They would
learn that he had been misunderstood by
them, and was not the enemy of their
nation, but full Of tender pity for its suf-
ferings, that he devoted himself, even unto
death, TO the task of redeeming, ldealizing
and identifying their inner lives" 1t will
be interesting to note the comments Of the
Jewish journals upon this proposition. The
Jewish Spectator Of Memphis, In speaking
Of it, says: whilst awaiting the terrible
shock which this news will cause TO the
sensitive nerves Of our orthodox brethren.
We will reserve our opinion for the present as

THE PROCESS of manufacture of ivory balls is
very simple, but 1t requires great skill. The
block of ivory is placed on an iron chuck, and
one-half the ball is urned. Then the cutting is
reversed. After the second half has been
turned the ball is hung up for few months in
a net to dry. The ball is kept free from any
draught, as ivory cracks when exposed to
either a hot or a cold current. When thoroughly
seasoned. the balls are turned so as to produce
perfect sphere. and here is where the skill
comes in. Not one man In a hundred, who have
been taught this process for years, can turn a
billiard ball accurate y. After each bal has
been tested for size and weight, the polishing is

RESULTS OF THE WINTER TURF EVENTS

NEW YORK, March 8.-The first step in
the new series of lawsuits of the Metro
pol1tan Exhibition Company against the
local Players League Club was taken to-
day. when Lawyer Duysters sent out notices
to President McAlpin, Vice President Tai
colt, Secretary Robinson, and other direct
ors Of the New Yorks, Limited, warning
them to keep their hands off the old Giant
ball players or take the chances of law
suit for damages. The notices which were sent
out read as follows:
''SIR-1t having come TO the knowledge of the
officers of the Metropolitan Exhibition Com
pany that you have engaged the services of

G. T. Gore, Daniel Richardson, T. j. Keefe.

James O'Rourke and William Brown. or have
been instrumental in engaging such services

enticed, or about to persuade and entice. the
said players to violate their contracts with the
said company or aid or abet them in so doing;

company and such contracts are identical in
form and tenor to the agreement upon which
is based the action of said company against
John NJ. Ward. now pending in the Supreme
Court, county OF New York, and Of record
therein"
This action on the part of the League club
has been anticipated for several days, and is
not likely to create any serious emotion ong
the players hackers; They will go right
ahead with the work of constructing their
grounds In preparation for the coming baseball
season.

tention was called to the threatened suits. and
said he had not yet heard personally about
