Two young girls sat on tho porch
# a seaside hotel, in which they had
been guests all summer; near them
was a gentleman who had just ar.
lived.
There" said Miss Blank. There
20 those lovers off for a stroll. 1t is
said they are actually engaged! So
absurd! Both middle-aged; he is a
pompous fool, and she is pockmarked.
What can they sec in each other?"
They have been lovers since they
were children" gently answered Miss
Case. But she has devoted her life
to nursing her mother, who has been
i'll for years with an incurable disease.
Now Der mother is dead and they will
soon be married"
Presently:
do look at those Wright sisters!"
cried Miss Blank. I'm sick of the
sight of them. The elder sails along
with that slow, majestic grace, as if
they were of royal birth, and the
ugly little one trots after her-never
leaves her a minute. It's a wonder
1t never occurs to her she may be in
the way when pretty girl is talking
to a gentleman.
"Her sister does not think her in
ohe way" quietly said Miss Case.
"The reason she walks and moves
slowly is because she is subject to ter
rible attacks which are brought on by
rapid motion. Her sister never leaves
her, because if she were not there to
apply the remedies, the poor girl
would die There never was a more
unselflsh sacrifice of one life to an
1ther," she added warmly.
Her companion was silenced, but
only for few minutes.
There is the stupid Miss Brown
going away. That is relief When
women get to be as old and ugly and
Ininteresting as that they ought to
De kept out OF sight of their friends. |"
Miss Case hesitated a moment
"Do you know that Miss Brown en-,
aged two rooms for the whole sea-
ON, and has kept them filed with
DnOr teachers and widows, and moth
ars with sick babies, not one of whom
would have been able to leave home

piled, that you consider life long
enough to waste on such unmltigated

"Oh, but l assure you, Sir Edward,
[ consider it very clever, very smart
and witty. You should look at it
again, and you would discover that
you have quite misappreciated it."

THEIR LANGUAGE LKoAcN
Chs Conquerors Have Gone, but TheiJ
Tongue Is the Only Onespoken.

The Conquerors Have Gone, but Their
Tongue Is the Only Onespoken.
There is an instance in Africa of a
people who subjugated large region
and after years of supremacy were
themselves expelled from the country,
but left their language the universal
medium of speech as a remintscence
Of their occupancy, says an exchange.
These people are the Makololo tribe,
who, forty-eight years ago, under
their warlike chief, Sebotoane, left
their homes among the mountains of
Basutoland, crossed the wide desert
of Kalahari, an enterprise involving
incredible hardships, and finally set
settled along the upper Zambesi and
its tributaries. Their emigration
proved the capacity Of the savage
African TO leave his native land and
make new home for himself in 3
far-distant region.
Livingstone has described this
herce chief, SebotOane, who con-
quered all the tribes around him,
made hims Elf master of the large
empire of the Barutse, and so came to
Iule region as large as some of the
European states. 1t was in 1645
that Livingstone saw him. The
empire of the Makololos lasted until
1864, when, on account of the cruelty
of Sekeleto, the son of the old king,
who had died five years before, a
general revolt occurred, and the Max
ololos were driven from the country
by the natives, who were far more
numerous than the intruding people.
There is to-day not a single Max
olOlo in that region, but, strange to
say, during the twenty years of the
domination of this tribe their Ian
guage, little corrupt, became the
language Of all that immense terri
tory. Thus it happens that lam
guage of South Africa is now spoken
in the upper Zambesi by many thou
sands Of people who are quite distinct
from the tribe that imposed the
language upon them. The natives
have, in fact, almost forgotten their
original languages, though they have
introduced into their new speech
quite large number Of the words
which formed part Of the vocabulary
of their fOrefatherr So the Max
ololos, no longer living in the coun-
try, have left profound traces Of their
former occupancy.

The Pie Dancer.

A wtld-lOoking man walked into a
restaurant at Washington market the
other day. and called for a whole
pumpkin pie, says the New York
Herald. They handed him one and
he took it out to the gutter, placed it
therein, and began jumping on 1t and
kicking it, uttering strange cries of
savage JOY the while. He repeated
this with cranberry, an apple, and
a huckleberry pie. Naturally his
dOings attracted some attention in
neighbOrhoOd, but he declined to
answer any questions put to him.
when he had completed his wal
dance, ordered an enormous porter
house steak and big supply of ale.
When he had made a wolf of himself
and nothing remained on the platter,
he licked his chops cOntentedly, and
turning to the remnant Of the crowd
which still fingered remarked: "Now
gents, I'm ready" A little whipper-
snapper of fellow broke the silence.
"We wus wonderin' wut yer wasted
good vittles fur" he said. ANT

Poor people!" exclaimed the pie
dancer hotly, poor peoplel I

The landlord used to wake US up in

would pull some pie out of his pocket

Yorker would produce a whisky flask.

thing in the meat line to eat, but
they haven't. They'd put eight diff
ferent kinds of Jelly cake on the table

this town has grown great on. New

PHOTOGRAPH OF MARS AND THE
MOON.
BY Z. A. MATTHEWS.

When the planet Mars and our own
Moon we're in such friendly relations
few weeks ago, there were many ef-
forts made to catch some views of them
that would perpetuate the wonderful
scene. Each had been pictured alone.
but not in conjunction.
Prof. Hale, of Kenwood Observatory,
thus tells the process by which he
photographed the two and caught the
ruddy planet and the pale satellite as
they met:
"All was ready, and when the signal
was given the big telescope was slowly
swung round and pointed full at the
moon. But this was not sufficient. The
Moon is not stationary, and the point
of the instrument must be kept on
exact line with her luminous majesty.
This was accomplished by clock-lik
mechanism which moved the point of
the telescope at the same apparent
rate of speed, or at a rate sufficient to
keep the moon in focus. The image Of
the moon and the planet then fell upon
a II inch HiAct glass. The image was
about two inches in diameter. 1t was
quick work to put the prepared plate
before the obiect-glass. 1t was quicker
work to remove the obstructing slide
and replace it. It was the very quick
est work, in fact. 1t was like a flash.
1t had to be. 1t consumed the i'm
portant minimum particle of eternity
"a fourth of a second. The plate had
been exposed. The Noon and Mars
had been photographed. The same
coniuction of the two might occur
again or it might not; but at any rate
here was a reproduction of them in
that interesting attitude that would
last forever.
The conjunction of two such interest,
ng orbs as this planet and our moon,
was a wonderful event in the world OF
science, and the description of the
photograph, and how the exact mo-
ment of meeting was caught and fixed
by art forever, is of intense interest to
all lovers of SCIENCE
The planet Mars has always been h
favorite with its neighbors of the Earth,
perhaps because it is near enough for
us to dare a few speculat1ons about it.
Just now the Earth and Mars are in
the situation that is called Gin opposi-
ton" This means that they are close
swings between the Sun and Mars.
This state of affairs can happen only
once in every sixteen years.
Almost every writer, who has pic
tured our relations with our sister
planets, has chosen Mars as the friendly
neighbor, and numerous fanciful tales
have been invented, having the two for
the scenes of the plot
There can be no real reason for this
except the idea some wise men have
expressed, that we shall some day have
the mechanical skill and resources to
construct telescopes that will plainly
show us the exact state of Mars, and
whether or not it is inhabited. This
may be but wild drestm, but many
visions far stranger have been realized.
