Wild flowers die when warm, close hands
Their fragile stems too eager seize;
Hold loosely, love, the light live wands
OF Joy that would wave free like these.
Touch gently the fine fairy things
That lean their sweet forms 'gainst the

One harsh thought brushes bloom from wings
That coyly fan loves silver bower.
Clasp lightly what thy heart would keep
In dearest hope, in dearest fear.
The soft wind woos the May from sleep.

The Sneed of A RulIet.

How fast does bullet travel? Did you ever figure on this query and try to reduce the matter to figures! Colonel Flaglers and others who have made in teresting experiments looking to a solu- tion of this question say that as a rule it travels at the rate of 1,275 feet per second at the time of leaving the rifle. This matter of speed is tested ill a very interesting way.
 A long wooden shed is used in which a distance of exactly 100 feet has been carefully marked off. At each end of this space is q stand something like a target, with large circular opening where the bullseye should le. Across each opening is stretched q small electric wire connected with a delicate instru- ment in another room. The rifle from which the firing is done is 50 aimed that the bullet which flies from it cuts both wires. Obviously tho difference ill time between the cutting of the two wires marks the speed of the bullet through that 100 feet. The measurement of this infnitesimal space of time is done by an instrument called Boulinge chrono- graph.
 When the first wire is cut an electric current is broken and rod falls, mov- ing pointer on slide ill its descent The breaking of the second wire acts in the same manner on another set of rods. slides and pointers. The difference in the marks made by the pointers on the slides makes it possible to estimate the difference in their time of fullinr and from these calculations accurate figures as to the bullets speed are obtained. - St. Louis Republic

ter and the twinkling lights of the houses gave feeling of enjoyment, rest and satisfaction so complete that l re- solved to abide there, and have ever since looked upon the Dorp as the para disc of the province. At the date of this narrative had lived in it three years, and throve with the village. Drowsy Dorp is placed at the mouth of large kloof or narrow valley, running far into the interior of the range, but which opened out into a considerable fiat ex-. panse about ten miles from the village called Jacks Flat, pronounced "Yaaks Flaat."
 The road through the range ran the whole length of the valley, and many smaller kloofs branching off from it held farms of great extent, giving sus- tenance to large browsing herds of cat tie and sheep.
 In branch kloof, rather broader than the rest, dwelt middle aged Boer with a bright and handsome daughter, who was just at that age where ''brook and river meet"
 She did not want for suitors, but owing to their numbers and the colonial fashion of housing and boarding wooers free for the time of their remaining, the father did not look favorably upon any new advance, the more so as he was a widower, and his daughter kept house. His farm was known as Sand Foutein. it having natural spring upon it, which was dug deep into pond of one quarter of an acre and planted around with weeping willows, in whose branches focks of various birds always lowered and to whose pendulous twigs the numerous weaver birds had attached hundreds of nests.
 Water, in that dry land, means life, wealth and happiness to man and beast, for the sunshine is always there. At the fork, where the way to the farm joined the main road, Jacks Flat com menced. There was slight bank about six feet deep on one side of the road, and in travelling on dark nights wagons going too near the edge had on some rare occasions toppled over: and there was an uncertain legend that some one, at long past period, had been killed by this kind of accident. More over, there was rumor that Hitges, the owner of Sand Foutein. had first come to the place with his brother and his dead fathers female ward, to settle in the then new lands of the Sourberg. They had quarreled fiercely about the girl and ono of them, the best beloved, was killed. That the girl ultimately married the survivor, but after the birth of child gradually pined away and died upon the grave of the dead man, whose name was supposed to have been Jack
 However this might be, there was cer- tainly a mound like a grave at the fork. The hyenas had commenced all around it years ago. digging for the contents, but some one (report said Hitges) had filled up each hole with large stones as fast as they were made, until the rn- clean beasts had given up all attempts.
 In the end Jacks Flat had acquired a bad name, and any one passing it after dark hurried their passage a little to get away from its eerie locality When Hit ges' daughter began to draw lovers things approached a crisis. Every now and then some young man. whose char acter for veracity was beyond doubt. declared that on returning from Hit

This was, the only drawback to the festivities, and Jacks Flat obtained worse name than ever; for those who believed in the supernat- ural dreaded the fiends; while those who denied the spiritual agency declared the ghost was thief.

How Women ITse Their Watches

The swagger young woman these days wears her watch on the shoulder just in front of the arm, dangling ill the air, ready for every pickpocket ill New York.
 ''It makes me cry, almost" said a jeweler, ito think how women abuse watches"
 "What do they do with them?'
 "Ask me something easier," he went on, ''or rather ask me what they do not do with their watches. In the first place watch is an extremely sensitive bit of mechanism, intensely alive to the action of the temperature. Every vari- ation from heat to cold, and vice versa, leaves its mark on watch. Even with the best care; a watch will vary in accu- racy to considerable extent. Then what may be expected of d watch which g woman uses as she would bit of rib bon, or bangle or other toy?

 Our wedding day was decided on and it was agreed that Katarina should got the Bay and buy her trousseau, staying at her cousins in the town during her visit. I was to drive her, of course, and SO brought my new Cape cart and two best horses for the occasion. 1t was twelve hours ride, so we started very early in the morning and arrived ill All goa Bay about four o'clock p.

Of course avoided the subject, and rny reticence so sharpened the curiosity that when at noon Katarina told me she was ready to return lost no time, but had the cart and horses at her cousins door in quick order.
 We started with host of good wishes accompanying us, and making only one stoppage reached the Dorp ill good time. The horses being little worn. changed at my house. putting in d pair of fresh. half broken colts.
 It was about midnight when we reached the fork at Jacks Flat. and we turned to go up the branch klocf.

In the Sourberg mountain range of South Africa nestles a lovely village, known to the colonists by the appropri- ate name of Drowsy Dorp. It was settled by the Holland Dutch long be- fore the advent of British rule, and is about one mile square in size and form. Its wide streets run at right angles, while a slight incline of surface permits one strong spring of pure water from the neighboring mountain to be divided by s1uyts, and so pour stream along the edge of each sidewalk, serving at once for domestic purposes and irrigation. The houses are built at distance from the side paths and from each other, the roads being lined with Kafirboorus, i'm ported oaks and large, double lowered cherry trees.
 The front yards are hedged with per petual rose trees, clipped lemons and oleanders in continuous bloom. The gardens, in front and behind, are filled with, orange, luquot, guava and peach trees. The plats planted with bushcuts, grapevines, red entrants and pomegran- ates, while the homestead separating di- visions are walls of fig trees, quinces and sour lines, mixed with bamboo fronds. In fact, all the temperate and subtropical fruits abound, and as each house has an, acre of ground the town looks, among the parched, brown topped, surrounding country, like an emerald set in dull dark green velvet.
