There is to be seen just now at the
South African general agency, at Cock

collection of dried up or mummified bab-

stadt, in the Orange Free State. They

mains with view Of ascertaining, II

Henry jacobson, who is employed at
the North Manukau Heads as beacon
light keeper, was out in his boat six
miles down the harbor when it was
struck by a squall and swamped and the
occupant left in the water. jacobson
dived and endeavored to relieve the bal

grasped an oar, and being good swim

tide was running he was swept down
the harbor distance of three miles.
At that point he was attacked by Il
large shark, which grabbed at his hand.
He protected himself, however, with the
oar, which he tried to ram down the
sharks throat. The fish then made a
circle around him and renewed the at
tempt By this time, however, Jacob
son had his sheath knife drawn and des-
perately stabbed the shark, ripping its
side open so that the water became red
with blood.
A further attack was made, when
jacobson again stabbed the monster
near the tail and it swan away. At that
time boat came in sight. jacobson,
toomuch exhausted to speak, was hauled
into the boat, having been in the water
two hours and thirty minutes.-New

A Limit to His Patience.

Saturday afternoon, when vehicles
were very thick on Washington street,
an old gentleman in yellow vanished
straw hat with wide curving brim
and clothes that had rustic flavor, and
carrying an old black leather va]ise, sat
on an electric car from South Boston,
bound to the northern depots. AS the
car passed Jordan & Marsh's the con-
ductor called out, Next stop Summer
and Winterr' The old gentleman turned
around, looking very much surprised
"You don't say sol" he murmured tim
idly. The car went about two rods
farther and came to dead stop.
There was a jam of teams ahead that
didn't seem likely to be broken for some
time. People began to get'out and go
on afoot. The old gentleman sat still,
out presently he grew uneasy. In q
minute he grew uneasier still and con-
suited large, open faced silver watch.
He waited about n minute longer, and
then he got up and began to climb down
off the car.
"Look herer' he called out to the con-
ductor, "Im willin to stay with ye all
summer mebby, but I'll be cussed if I'll
set here all winterv
And he went on down the street.

Tho Yorkshire Penny Rank.

"Tske care of the pennies and the
pounds will take care of themselves is
an old maxim Of great truth. Exempli-
fication is afforded in the case of the
Yorkshire Penny bank, whose trustees
have gust laid the foundation stone of
magnificent new premises in Leeds. This
institution has now in its custody 1,44O,-
600, zoe of pence-that is, just f6, 900, 900
of the savings of the people. In 1872
it had only e8S0, 900. Meanwhile, that
the managers have found the bust
ness of "taking care of the pence" a
profitable one appears evident from the
fact that their reserve fund has risen
from e6,708 to 100000.
The greater part of the money in
trusted to the bank by its depositors is
of course invested, and it is stated that
the bank has now e1 ,250,00O out on
mortgages and over "a, 100000 in ne
gotiable securities, including $500, 900

A Mixed Up AFFAIR.

Recently on the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad train ran over and
killed COW near Thompson, Tenn. A
day or two afterward, when the train
passed through, an officer arrested the
engineer and took him before q justice

the prosecutors have gotten themselves
in bad fix.
Warrants have been issued by a Judge
for the arrest of the justice of the peace,
the officer who made the arrest, the
sheriff and the lawyer for contempt of
court, as the road is in the hands of a
receiver and permission must be secured
to sue the road. The superintendent Of

Three Humorous Titles.

Among the whimsical titles which ap-
pear on the pages of national history,
few are more apparently frivolous than
the Duke of Marmalade, the Count Of
Lemonade and the Earl of Brandy.
They are, or were, however, real titles,
bestowed by genuine monarch on
three of the favorites, and that, too,
during the present century. In 1911 a
revolution occurred in Hayti, and Chris
tophe, negro, declared himself en-
peror. Through conspiracy and plot,
his life often attempted, he retained
power till 1890, preserving to the last
the appearance Of a royal court and Gre
ating numerous ability.
Among them were the three already
mentioned, and the oddity of the titles
has suggested to many writers the friv-
olousness Of the African character. In
fact, however, all three names were
those Of places, the first two being origi-
nally plantations. but latterly towns Of
some Importance. This fact not being
generally known, misapprehension has
arisen with regard to the titles them
selves, which, however absurd, are
scarcely mor01p than some which were
bestowed in France and Germany dur
ing the Middle Ages.-Boston Tran

Short Lived CraxeS.

This is a great country for crazes.
They sweep over the country like cy-
clones. Whence they come and whittier
they go man knoweth not. A few years
ago the entire country was in the throes
Of the pedestrian craze. In every city,
town and village athletes were wearily
tramping around and around sawdust
circle, while thousands of spectators ap-
plauded the dreary exhibition. Nobody
walks now that can ride.
Next we had the roller skating craze,
which affected both men and women.
1t, too, has gone glimmering, leaving q
trail of broken bones in its wake. The
bicycle craze is now upon us, and bids
fair to become a chronic disease. The
men have had the red necktie craze and
recovered from it in time to laugh at the
suspender craze of their big sisters.

JOY FOR BALDHEAbS.
An Invention That Promises to Make Life
Worth Living for Mans.

Worth Living for Mans.
The wind has long been tempered to
the shorn lamb, but the baldhead has
had to take the blasts us they came. No
special dispensatiohs in the matter Of
weather have been made on his account.
He has had TO look out for himself, and
the fact that he survives so numerously
Is perhaps better evidence of his hustling
ability than of his innate goodness.
Why, no one appears able to tell, but
certain it is that from time immemorial
there has been none to do the baldhead
reverence.
1t will be remembered that when the
original baldhead was making his way
toward Bethel the children by the way
side requested him to Ego up" This
expression has no place in modern slang,
but compliance with the order doubtless
involved journey to sections not down
on our list of desirable habitations. Be
that as it may, the fact remains that the
caput destitute Of hairy adornment has
all along been the butt for universal
ridicule.
But it is long lane which has no
turning, and the baldhead's turn has
come ut last. Some enterprising philan-
thropist has invented polish for the
hairless crown which is warranted to
turn it into thing of beauty and joy
forever. This blessing comes in the
shape of u polish which is easily ap-
piled by barber and imparts to the al
ready shining crown shine so brilliant
10 t1,n n1 In
that upon it no fly can gain foothold.
Those who have never experienced
the joys and sorrows of badness may
not be able to appreciate the value Of
this discovery. The value is there just
the same. With little care the polish
can be made windtight and mosquito
proof, and the baldheaded man will no
longer fall an easy prey to the influenza
laden breezes, while he can lie down to
dreams unbroken by the assaults Of
winged things. Surely the baldhead
millennium is at hand.
The direct moral influence of this dis
covery cannot be overrated. With his
sparsely matched crown projected from
the attacks of envious Cascas the bald
head will recover from his tendency to-
ward the use of unauthorized expletives,
and he may even rise TO the point of
taking front seat in the sanctuary in
fly time. Relieved of the necessity for
turning his skull into block upon
which to butcher the musca domestica,
etc., he will be able to turn his whole
thought to the sermon, thus setting a
worthy example to the congregation
while absorbing truths of which he has
long stood in need.
If there is justice in all things, the
man who makes two blades of grass
grow where one has grown before will
have to take back seat when the in.
ventor of the polish for baldheads comes
in for his reward.
Verify, these be glorious times, and
the baldhead is one of the chief partici
pators in them.-Troy Times.

Eight Thousand Flowers On the Table

Eight Thousand Flowers On the Table.
1t must take nearly half an acre of

House conservatory. 1t keeps two men
busy all the time to take care of it, and
the finest of all kinds of flowers from
orchids to roses are in bloom here. There
are broad india rubber plants which
are worth from $50 to $100 apiece, and
there are some flowers which are abso-
lutely worth their weight in gold. On
the night of White House dinner or
reception the whole mansion is deco
rated with flowers, and at one state
dinner not long ago there was floral
piece on the table which used 5000 flow

Turpentine for Corns.

The cheapest and surest remedy for
either hard or soft corns is turpentine.
If little of this is rubbed on a corn
every evening for about two weeks the
corn and roots will both come entirely
out and will not reappear in any form.
If the turpentine runs onto the adjoin-
ing skin it will cause little soreness,
but otherwise the remedy is as painless
as it is efficient. Louis Globe-De

English Rulers and the Language.

Unlike most other countries England
has repeatedly been governed by for
eigners, who thought so little of their
people that they did not even take the
trouble to learn the language of their
subjects. Most of the Danish kings
knew no English, and if William the
Conqueror, William Rufus and others
knew tho language they kept the fact to
themselves.
The early French kings, in fact, re-
garded England as conquest and
France as their home. Richard I, for
instance, spent but few months of the
ten years of his reign on English soil.
In modern times George neither knew.
nor cared to learn English, and George
II spoke 1t very imperfectly.- Louis

What Has Become OF the Phonographf
What has become of Edisons phono-
graph? This is one Of the most mysteri-
ous disappearances of modern times. A
few years ago IL was announced that the
famous American inventor had perfected
this instrument, and some public expert
ments that were given seemed to sup
port this view. A simple little appa-
ratus, C ting probably not more than a
sovereign to make, was made TO repro
duce indefinitely any sound, even to
grand instrumental performance that
had taken place in another hemisphere.
Various were the speculations as to the
manifold use of the new contrivance.
Friends at a distance were to hear
each others voices, messages could be
left at peoples houses which could not
possibly be distorted in the process of
passing through the mind of an un-
tutored servant, business men could
quietly talk into little trumpetlike
aperture and their clerks could hear
their actual instructions at any subse-
quent period. Up to now, however, we
have been doomed to disappointment.
Where is phonograph to be bought? i
do not know, and none of my acquaint-
ances seems better informed.
In France an article can be patented
only on condition that it is bona fide and
on sale to the public within a brief
period--I believe twelve months. The

pediency of such condition being ex-

'Hang Your Clothes on Hickory Limb"


After the rather unsatisfactory ex-
perience of last season the district COM
missioners have decided to experiment
further with the free bathing beach.
This time, however, there is to be no
risk of life, provided the plans of the
commissioners are successful. Last sea-
son the beach was open to all comers,
but in the future none but experienced
swimmers will be allowed to enjoy the
privilege. With this end in view the
commissioners have, through their sec
retary, DIR. Tindall, addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the superin-
tendent of the beach:
"The commissioners direct me TO no
tify you to permitp persons who can swim
to use the public bathing beach till
otherwise notified You will not permit
any one to use the beach unless satisfied
by personal observation that he can
swim"
A perusal of this order will show that
the commissioners have imposed a rather
complicated and important duty on Su
perintendent Stevens. BY strict COM
pliance with the order no candidate for
cleanliness will be allowed to enter the
water unless he can swim, and the su-
perintendent is first to determine ones
ability in that direction by personal
observation" just how Superintendent
Stevens is to separate the experts from
the raw recruits by mere personal OBJ
servation" is rather difficult to under
stand, unless he should subject appli-
cants to an exhibition of their natatory
agility on dry land.-Washington Post.
