Tough Old Zulu Chiefs.

The old chiefs in South Africa know
nothing about tRekking, and on several
occasions became so impatient that they
started off on foot ahead of the wagons.
One day they had to walk thirty-seven
miles before reaching water, and then
had to wait two days on scant rations
before we came up with them. One Of
these men is 75 years old, but the tough
old Zulu (the Matabele rulers are of Zulu
origin) was none the worse for the esca-
pade.
On another occasion, in spite of our
warnings, they left US, armed only with
assegais, IN the worst part of the lion
country. When we followed few hours
afterward we saw to our horror that
their footprints in the sand had been
partially obliterated by the spoor Of a
lion. Fortunately, however, he had fol
lowed them only for some hundred
yards, and then, probably not being hun.
CRY, he wandered off toward pool Of
water.
Such vagaries were to us a source OF
constant anxiety, for how could we face
the king without bringing back his In
diansS Our own lives would not have
been safe. We should have been pro
claimed as imposters or accused Of
witchcraft.
However, we managed to divert theil
minds and keep them employed at the
wagons by shooting twenty-six gray
monkeys for them. The skins Of this
particular species are only worn by
royalty or big chiefs.-Cor. London Tele

Atlantic Oity.-1mprovemOnts on the Read

Atlantic City.-ImprOvemonts on the Read
ing Railroads. seashOre Line.
Those Of our readers who know Atlantic City
only as a hot weather resort would be amazed
to witness the evidences Of life and activity now
observable there. The largest Of all our coast
resorts, 1t well deserves its title of THE Ameri-
can Brighton" having within the past few years
been metamorphosed from a mere summer
pleasuring place to great and permanent sani-
tarium and abode of recreation. The spring
season is now booming; all the leading hotels
are now oper, and during the daily promenade
hour the beach is crowded with votaries OF fash
lon and seekers after health and rest The re-
markably heavy business done on the Reading
Railroads Atlantic City line last year has en-
couraged its MANAGEMENT to still further i'm
prove that excellent road. By the liberal expen-
diture Of large sums OF money in strengthening
the permanent way, and increasing the equip
ment, supplemented by wide and skilliul adver-
tising, this route was jumped 10 the front of sea-
shore lines in = way that astOunded conserva-
tive railroad men, and the courage and enter
prise Of President Corbln and his able coadiu-
tors we're amply rewarded by an enormous In
crease in the roads patronage.
In anticipation Of a still greater volume Of
travel during the coming summer, tine foau is
being doube-tracked over its entire length with
76-pound steel rails and It is expected that this
Improvement will be completed by April 1st
making the Reading the first, and, for the pres
ent, the only double-traok railroad between
Philadelphia and the seashOre. This will en-
able trains to be moved with increased prompt
ness and 1t will also have the effect OF establish
ing an additional safeguard against accident.
The Readings new depot in Atlantic City is
said to be the finest and most complete railway
structure on the coast. 1t is $50 feet long, with
frontage of 600 feet on Atlantic Avenue-thC
main thoroughiare. The train sheds are 450 fee
long, with room for six tracks, and between
these are platforms twenty-five feet wide. Tht
spacious waiting rooms are artistically finished
in oak, with mahogany furnishings and ricl
curtains. Architecturally, the station is beau
ty, and It's great dimensions will enable the rail
road people to handle immense crowds withOu
difficulty or delay. Arrangements have beel
made to augment the motive power and ca
equipment to meet the expected "boom," AM

than most people would imagine. If we
take one and 2 quarter pounds as the
weight Of pure silk required, this would
be equal tO'two pounds of raw silk. To
produce two pounds OF raw silk would
require the entire silk obtained from
1000 to 5000 worms, allowing percent.

naltiea.

Four Rare. Birds.

The Geological society has just ac-
qQired two specimens of the apteryx in
addition to the two which have been al
ready exhibited for some months. All
the four birds are temporarily placed in
the tortoise house pending alterations In
the insect house, which will be their per-
manent resting place. These birds should
be attractive to the visitor for several
reasons, In tho first place, they are
somewhat difficult TO catch q glimpse Of.
Fortunately for themselves--foc they

on account Of this very habit-but un-
fortunately for the public, they arc moo

PRoF. JOHN HENRY CoNfsTooK, the
eminent naturalist, begins in the Neao
York Ledger of March 1, series of six
articles on the study of insects, in which
he describes, not only those insects which
are useful to the farmer, but also, those
which destroy entire fields of grain, cotton
and rice, and ravage orchards, gardens and
vineyards. He demonstrates how il was
scientifically determined that an average
annual loss of $50, ,OOO, 900 has been occas-
ioned in the South by the cotton-worm
alone; and that an average loss per year,
of nearly $2,4OO,OOo, has been brought
about in the apple crop of Illinois by the

To AN inquirer the ADVOCATE would
say that ir the matter Of the election of
constables and assessors, Judge Dreher, of
our courts, ruled that the Act of February
IA, 1889, went into effect at the February
election of that year, and that all constables
and assessors were then elected to serve a
three years term, and the constables gave
bonds for that period. Constables elected
at the late February election will not be
sworn in, for in case the ruling should be
reversed special election would necessar-
lily have to be held to fill the office as it was
not properly advertised according to law,
or, possibly 1t would come within the juris-
diction of the court to fill the vacancies
occurring through a revision Of the ruling
of the lower court, in that case it is natural
to presume that the favored ones would be
the present incumbents.

THE Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
recently rendered several decisions of gen.
eral interest in the matter of road tax.
The right of farmers to work out their
road tax has been generally, if no. univer-
sally conceded; supervisors in a few town
ships insisted that the tax must be paid in
money. A test case has been decided in
favor of the taxpayers, and their right to
work out the tax distinctly and finally
affirmed. In other cases collectors of road
taxes have claimed = commission on the
part worked out, as we'll as that paid into
the township treasury. The Supreme
Court decides that all claims for such COM
missians should be rejected, the working
out Of the tax imposing no labor on the
collector or treasurer, but on the supervisor,
who is paid for his services.

BBOADBRIM'S N. Y. LETTER

Last week, when the whole town was
bowling about Douglas Green and Mrs.
McCIea, held my peace, though knew
them both better than ninetY-nine out of
hundred that were writing and talking
about them.
It's now almost two years since the
millionaire Smell was found dead in his own
house in Chicago, murdered by some one.
no one to this day knows exactly who,
but universal suspicion seems to have fixed
on one Tascott; who from that day to this,
has been wanderer on the face of the
earth, with reward of forty thousand
dollars placed upon his head.
Smell, who was killed, was not the most
amiable person in the world; he drove
hard bargains, and was merciless in the
enforcement of his monetary contracts,
and that he was hated by many, goes with
out saying. He was full of queer streaks
and cranks, and many of his pecullarities
he seemed to haYe transmitted to his
daughter Alice, the heroine of the present
escapade. She married early, gentleman
named McCrea; but the honeymoon was
short lived, and she soon returned to her
fathers house. She was a spoiled child
from the start; always used to having her
own way, aud doing all sorts of strange
things which kept society gossiping
There was no controlling her; she would
do whatever she pleased, so poor McCrea
gave her up as bad job, and they parted.
A woman with plenty of money and no
fixed principles, having no particular aim
in life, is always treading on dangerous
ground. Alice Smell McCrea wanted
notoriety; she hungered for sensation, and
at one time attempted to study for the
stage. She was not bad looking; she was
not bad bookings ;sbe was dressy and showy
just, the woman to catch the eye of that
class of men whose regulations. if not bad,
are at least exceedingly shady.
Douglas Green was not bad fellow, on
the contrary, he was an exceedingly good
fellow, handsome too, something of a
masher; but up to his recent escapade,
nothing serious had been brought against
him. He had a sweet little wife and two
children, and his domestic relations were
all that could be desired. He was a men,
Der of the Stock Board, with plenty of
friends and very few enemies; he lived
well-not extraYagantly, but always pro-
Vided Dountifully for his family, and was
generally respected by all who knew
him.
Now life in the Stock Board, Is not con-
duciYe 10 the highest morals; many ex-
cellsnt and passingly upright men belong
to It, but the great body of the stock
holders are what may be called fast. II a
prize fight or a dog fight is 10 ba got up,
the managing Pugs always make for the
Stock Board. If tickets are to be disposed
of for a shady French Ball, the Stock
Board is the place to do il. Gambling is
In the air, Horse racing and poker are
their fashionable Relations, and when
nothing else offers, they will match dollars
by the hour if stocks are dull. In these
matters, Douglas Green was not far differ
ent from his fellows.

street broker Is exposed, Is the Wiles Of
