The author Of King Solumon's Mines"
and "Allan Quartermain' has had much
laid to his charge-from plagiarism to
downright lying, but as time goes on it
becomes every day more apparent than
the only South African romancist has a
considerable modicum of truth at the
bottom of his seemingly most bizarre
conceptions.
Take, for instance, the Mapai, small
tribe of bush people living between the
Kaverezi and Yankotoi, who, among q
number of other curious habits, slit the
skin over both shoulders in the form of a
loop, and which, by being upheld, per-
inits a second cuticle to grow beneath
A corresponding slit Is made on
each side of all the young ladies
of this interesting people, the
loops, when the girls develop into
womanhood, forming four 'natural'
resting places for child, either at the
breast or back, the straps of flesh on the
shoulders being for the hands OF arms

Tartan Is much used in combination
with plain serge.
Richly colored bead trimmings in leaf
patterns find favor.
Skirts of ordinary dresses seem to be
increasing in length.
The skirts of home toilets are almost
invariably made with trains.
Yandyked fur borders are used in very
handsome and rich materials.
Small crochet ball-buttons are first
choice for smooth cloths. Hat buttons
are covered with velvet.
Edgings and loops of narrow black
silk cord furnish a neat, inexpensive
trimming for wooden dress goods
Warm jackets for coaching, driving,
ETC., are made of leopard-skin, sealskin,
the axis deer, mink or black Russian
lamb.
1t is rumored that the short walking
skirt is to be superseded by the incon-
venient half long dress when a train is
not desired.
A new material for rough wear much
used in London is Harris cloth, which
comes in dull grays and browns mixed

pristine whiteness with pipe clay with

Mrs. Pratt came to the rescue. She

"Ah" she said, ''allow me to offer my
congratulations I would call, but we
leave Florence tomorrow We are
merely passing through. Agnes, love,
we must not linger in this charming
studio any longer"
Somehow, she never remembered how,
Agnes Warne spoke her words of part
ing and babe farewell forever to the
dream she had cherished for three long
years. Three months later she married
French nobleman, who had left the Re
public in disgust and brought his title
and fortune to Italy. Her old dream of
wealth and high social standing is graft
fed; but never again will her heart throb
with love such as she once held and
ruthlessly cast aside.-TRe Ledger.

HOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
WEARS MANS DRESS.

In Missouri there is a woman who car
ries with her q written permit from the
Governor to wear mans dress anywhere
in the State outside of the cities and
LARGE towns. Left an orphan when a
baby, she grew up used to all kinds OF
shifts. and finding at the age of fifteen
what many another woman finds out
later, that petticoats are sometimes a
barrier to progress, she assumed mems
attire as a simple matter of convenience.
She has done all kinds of manual labor
that men on a farm are accustomed to,
and her special delight IS in breaking
horses, in which she has wonderful skill.
Her name Is Emily Paxton, and she is
now about forty years old.-Nsl0 Iork

The Terrapin Trade.

The principal demand foI terraprn
comes from the national capital when
Congress is in session, although there is a
fair demand from New York and Balti-
more. The BOstonian finds less costly
food in baked beans, and the
Philadelphia contents himself with a
more frugal fare than the Georgia terra
pin, In New York, ever, when rich
men dine, the terrapin Is a favorite dish,
and a dinner is not considered complete
among statesmen at Washington without
the terrapin. A chef who understands
how to properly serve the esculent sau-
rian will command as high a salary as the
Congressman who foots the bill for the
dinner.
A Morning Neaos reporter visited the
terrapin pens at Thunderbolt yesterday,
and found about 1000 at Pfaff's place,
and from 1000 to $500 at Henry Ambos's
place. They are kept in enclosures built
for the purpose, and are fed on shrimp
and fish. At present there is no demand
for terrapin, but the dealers keep them
in stock, and have boats and men
engaged in terrapin fishing
The price of terrapin is high, owing to
their scarcity. They are worth all the way
from SIS to S25 per dozen, and the de-
mand always exceeds the supply. They
are, strange to say, sold by measurement.
A terrapin measuring 81 inches or less is
not sold as one terrapin, but three of
that size are sold for two Two terra
pin measuring over 81 inches would sell
for three.
Thunderbolt is the terrapin headquar-
tiers. The animals are brought there in
fishing sloops, and command as high as
SO to S15 a dozen, delivered there.
They are shipped in barrels to the North
in their season. They are easily kept in
confinement, and in the sheds where they
are kept they are let run on the ground
floor. Plenty of water is furnished them.
They are fed like hogs in a pen, and soon
learn to know when the feeder is about.
After short confinement Ehey will come
at call for food.-SaraHnah (Ga.) Ne1os.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A man who is not ashamed of himself
need not be afraid of his early condition.
After all, the joy of success does not
equal that which attends the patient
working.
Hope is itself a species of happiness,
and perhaps the chief happiness the
world affords.
Familiarity does not breed contempt,
except of contemplate things, or in con
temptible people.
A man never sees all that his mother
has been to him tillit's too late to let her
know that he sees 1t.
Happiness is perfume which one can
not shed over another without few
drops falling on ones self. Iris
Have a purpose. A worthy purpose
will speedily fix the mind and spirit Of
the mumps and measles, dyspepsia and
langror
You find yourself refreshed by the
presence of cheerful people; why not
make earnest effort to confer that pleasure
on others.
Praise never gives US much pleasure
unless it concurs with our own opinion,
and extol US for those qualities in which
we chiefly excel.
There are certain ignoble facts in life
which we can best combat by ignoring
them. A slight of almost any sort ceases
to be when you cease to consider it.
It takes so little TO makea child happy
that it is a pity, in a world full of sun
shine and pleasant things, that there
should be any wistful faces, empty hands,
or lonely young hearts.
When the term education Is used it
should suggest to the thinking mind this
question: To whatl for weeds may be
cultivated as well as useful plants, and
also good and evil both can be taught.
If the principle of teaching is merely
to assist one in the obtaining OF knowl-
edge, for what purpose is the effort made
to guide the mind, when it is the very
essence oflberty to seek whatever knowl-
edge the mind cravesl

Counterfeiters.

Counterfeiters, unlike most other classes
of s'crooks, are drawn from all ranks
of society Many persons of worthy
antecedents drift into crime almost by
accident. A fine engraver, for instance,
in a moment of thoughtlessness, tries his
hand at an imitation of Government
note as a mere test of skill. Success In
deceiving his friends, perhaps by way OF
Jest, gives him a dangerous impulse on
ward, and in an hour of weakness the
temptation to use his powers for bad,
and finds him a ready victim. The same
may be true of die-cutter or metal
worker who makes a matrix for coin
even for the adornment Of a bit OF
iewelry or as an advertising device. The
policy of the Secret Service has been
uniformly to discourage everything of
the sort. The statutes of the United
States on the subject are very sweeping,

There have been many odd and effec-
tive ways of ornamenting dresses this
season, but New York bride seems to
have taken the lead in suggesting unique
style of trimming the gowns of the fair
maids who attended her at the ceremony.
The material of the dresses was soft white
goods. All about the skirt in a deeper
border was a Grecian pattern done with
common pins. The effect was quite pretty
and the trimming could not possibly have
been more economical, but if there was
dance to follow the ceremony it is quite
reasonable to suppose that these young
women must of necessity have declined
to participate, not wishing to infiict tor
tre on their innocent partners by punet-
uring them with the pins, and destroy
ing all the poetry of the waltz.-Harhord

forcibly, but so glibly as to indicate that
he nad carefully prepared it and com

closed he drew a photograph Of beauti-
full young woman from his pocket.

The Secretary looked at the photo
graph again. The face shown there was
delicate and refined, and every line in
dicated the confding truthfUlness Of in
nocent girlhood. He looked at the
prisone-. In his eye was a wicked leer
of triumph. Evil and sin were stamped
upon every feature.
When the Secretary made report to
the Governor he told the story OF the
photograph. The Chief Executive
pondered over it awhile, then, bringing
his fist down upon his desk with a force
that set all his light furniture to rafting,
he said:

Running is as natural to a healthy girl
as breathing, but it is carefully trained
out of her at as early an age as possible,
and who ever saw a grown woman who
possessed that supreme grace of motion
To see a woman run is to look at a goose
waddling. Did you ever look at a frieze
of Greek girls running in any classic col
lectionl Did it not impress you with its
beauty, health and sweetness, its Joy in
living? Could you look at the round,
supple limbs, instinct with grace and free
dom, the short TUNES, the lightness and
poise OF the figures without feeling that
these large eyed sound lunged creatures
were what woman vas meant to be?
Many disorders of the complexion come
from functional difficulties, and to be
able to run IS to possess strong limbs
which bear life's burden easily.-Hrs.

BLIGHrED HOPES.

Dark is the season of reaping
The flight of the promiseful years
Denied the sweet solace of weeping
Der sorrows too deep for our tearsi
Reaping that chat when we dare not
Even dream of the full ripened grain:
Grieving Ger fair hopes that are not,
And joy-bells that ring not again!
Sid is the season of reaping
Wien shudders the soul in the blast,
And shadows come stealthly creeping
From storm-shrouded wales Of the pasti
Before US the future lies yawning
With anguish, heart-hunger and pain;
And vainly We long for the dawning
OF days that viii come not again.
Drear is the season of reaping
When hushed are the laugh and the song.

A love that will live not again?

A writer in a Boston paper proposes q
method OF discovering the bodies OF
victims buried beneath the ruins of build
ings destroyed By fire which he thinks
should be tested by all city authorities.
4 good deal OF timeis lost, he says, under
the present hap-hazard way Of digging
for the dead, and ne suggests the use OF
bloodhounds, which would unerringl.r
detect the presence Of Bodies by the sens,
of smell. To enable the dog to tread
over the hot ashes his feet are to be pro.
tected with a mixture of SCOT, vinegar
and borax. TINS plan he says, is in us',
