A Golden City in Africa.

The remarkable town of Johannes
burg in the Transvaal is well called
"The Golden City Its name even
does not appear on the maps of Africa
issued ten years ago. 1t will be a sur
prise to multitudcs TO know that there
is any such spot on the African CONT

reef, upon which reef fifty companies
are now working, employing $3.50
white men and over thirty-two thou
sand natives. OF the city of Johannes
burg itself the writer says:
at is neither beautiful nor impress

has population of about forty thou

streets are broad, there arc shops with
plate-glass windows full of ball dresses
and silver plate. the residential quar-

of mining works smoking against the

WEEDS AS BIC AS TREES.
One Of the Sights to BE Seen During
Transcontinentai Trip.

OF all the routes across the United
States there is not one that has not
done more or less to familiarize the
travelling public with what is cafed
sage brush The further south the
route the more abundant is this weed,
which, according TO the Scientific
AmertcaR, has added phrase to our
language by giving its name 10 the
soil upon which it thrives-often when
nothing else of vegetation can endure
beside it. To speak of Il reach of
country as sage brush land" is to pre-
sent a picture to the mind of a man
familiar with the far west. Through
that phrase such man sees a treeless,
parched plain or bench of duh, baked
looking earth dotted with thick
stemmed, dry, tlannel-like, dust-cov-
cred shrubs of L greenish, whitish-
brown appearance. These grow as
garden weeds do in the east-a hand
high or yard or SO above ground.
The land which is distinguished by
their presence, in greater or less guam
titles. is that part of the plains and
Rocky mountain region which receives
the least rainfall. A major part of it
was once known as The Great Ameri-
can desert.
The sage brush is known to scient-
lists as Artemisia tridentata. Most
persons who are familiar with it think
OF ii as an ordinary weed OF small size,
and even so high an authority as the
"Encyclop@dIa Britannica" refers 10 1t
as growing III "treeless valleys and
slopes" 1t will astonish most persons
to know that it sometimes grows to
such proportions as to provide sec
ton of country with trees Of Its own
wood, producing groves Of thick
trunked and comparatively tall trees
instead of mere weeds.
Prof Elwood Mead, the state enGin-
eer of Wyoming, while exploring the
northern end of central parts of that
state last summer, came upon dis
trict where the sage brush thrived
thus gigantically. Many of the sage
trees that he saw were eighteen feet
nigh, with trunks at least foot in di
ameter This was in the Bio Horn
basin, east of the National Yellowstone
park and northeast of the Wind River
Indian reservation, where the No
Wood river joins the Big Horn. Prof
Mead returned to Cheyenne enthusi-
astic in his praise of the basin, now
little known except to the stockmen
whose cows range there. 1t is as big
as some of the older states, and will
provide plenty of water for irrigation
from the tributaries of the Big Horn
river. Several very large irrigable
tracts have been surveyed already.
No railroads yet reach the district,
but the Burlington and Missouri rail
road is building to Sheridan in the
county of that name, ane has employed
its agents to spy out the land" be-
yond. Prof Mead had never seen
such big sage brush as he discovered
there, but since his return he realizes
the truth of Solomon's assertion, that
there is no new thing under the sun,
because he has been informed that at
some point in California the same
weed grows to such proportions that
the people cut it for cord wood"

Chinese Children.

Kind ladies stop before the children

Francisco paper, chuck them under

young Chinese boy these days is 10

At from 10 to - years Of age the
girls begin to turn their thoughts to
dress and to gradually drift away
from the joys of childhood. The boys
remain children much longer. From
y to 16 they are not content with
firing anything less than a pack OF
crackers at time.
The American toy balloon is thing

seen. and yesterday one boy had an
automatic tin horse that ran on the

A WISE pAShh.
He Was Able to Live ArnicabIy with Sew
eraI Wives.

Ismail appears to have been one of
the few men who have succeeded in
living in amity with number of
wives under the same roof. says the
\. Y. 4dCertiScr. Writing upon the
glamor of the harem and the khedive's
relation toward his spouses. Miss Chen
nells, in her book, "Recollecticns of an
Egyptian Princess, says:
The great object of European la
dies, either at tConstantinople or Cairo,
is to get an introduction to the harem.
but once visited the charm is gener-
ally broken. On fete days the impress
sion is glorious-the magnificent
dresses. the splendid apartments, the
flashing of jewels, the open courts with
the feathery palms, and the sound of
falling waters, all produce delightful
effect. But on ordinary visits you
were struck with the entire absence
of anything TO promote amusement or
mental occupation. No books, music
or any little feminine work lying
about. The windows might look out
on garden, but there was sure to be
a high wall which shut out all outer
life.
Il lie kneUlNe, TO 90 MIN Justice, was
anxious to raise the position of women.
He founded schools for girls, he en-
deavored to promote education in his
own harem, and gave much greater
means and liberty, both of recreation
and instruction, to its inmates than
any sovereign had done before him.
Ismail Pasha had four wives, the full
proportion allowed TO the koran. To
the first and second he was married
when quite young, and to the third
after his accession. These three ladies
lived with him in the same palace
They, of course, had separate suites of
apartments, but they lived in perfect
amity. as l had full opportunity OF
knowing later.

Getting Measured for Gun.

A fact which is not generally known
outside Of sporting circles is that a
gunner who seeks to do the best work
lie is capable of requires to be meas
ured for his gun in the same way us
he would be for his suit of clothes. 10
facilitate this operation new adjust
able gun has been devised The bend
and cast-otf of the gun are adjusted
by means of screws, and the points of
each are placed in grooves running
parallel to the line of the butt. The
length of the butt is also adjusted by
screws in the heel. The length and
bend of the stock can in this way be
regulated TO the length of neck and
arm Of the shooter, as we'll as to the
various special requirements to which
his style of shooting may give rise.-

Javanese Tiger-E'ight.

An English traveller in Java who
saw one of the tiger-hghts peculiar to
the island thus describes the strange
sport: The tiger is set down in a trap
in the center of the alienation, or
great square, and is surrounded by a
triple or quadruple line of spearmen,
about hundred yards distant from
him.
When all is ready a Javanese ad-
vances at very slow pace to the sound
of soft music and sets fire to the trap,
at the same time opening the door at
the back part of the cage which, by the
way,is too narrow for the tiger to turn
in.
As the fire begins to SINCE his whisk-
ers he gradually backs out. The man,
as soon as he has opened the door, be-
gins walking toward the crowd at a
slow pace and the slower he is the
more applause does he gain.
The tiger, meanwhile having backed
out of his burning prison, is rather
astonishcd at finding himself surround
eel by hundreds of people, each point
ing spear at him.
If he Is Il bold tiger he eanters around
the circle, almost touching the spears;
finding no opening, he returns to the
center, fixes his eye on one spot and
with a loud roar dashes straight at it.
He is received on the spears and.
though hc crashes many as though
they were mere rccds.in half minute
he falls dead, pierced by hundred
weapons.
In some instances, however. the roar
and charge are too much for the Java
nese and they give way. The sport
then becomes rather dangerous to
spectators YOUTHS Comp uti0H.

EVERY DAY ETIQUETTE.
Some FOrmality IL Necessary In Speaking
of Ones Husband Wifo.

Husbands and wives in speaking of
each other to friends and acqualntances
should observe a certain formality.
Vulgarity touches bottom when the
personal pronOun che" or "she" is used
without the name for which these
stand, and this usage, to be sure, be-
ing confined TO out-of-thcway and
primitive portions of the country, is
never general enough to be worth no.
ticing. AS Hayper'S Bazar remarks.
you will hear the sum -bonneted woman
with the straight skirt reaching TO her
stout calf-skin shoeSand the marks of
lifelong toll and exposure in her hard
ened hands allude to her backwoods
partner as "he," or as Tim" never
as my husband" or rs "Mr. Smith"
But in more refined circles, where
people know and observe the require
ments of etiquette, a woman does not
use her husbands Christian name,
much less any abbreviatiOn of it, out
side the narrow confines of their COM
mon kindred. He is John" or Jack"
only among his brothers and sisters
or to very intimate friends. When
his wife has occasion TO speak of him
to others she says my husband" or
Mr. Jones'" doing the very thing as
matter of course which the person
who is economical OF nouns and lavish
of pronouns fails to do.

dignity will not regard it as of little
moment Whether she upholds this by
scrupulousIy speaking of him with re-
spect, as we'll as addressing him with
courtesy, his position in the social
world being helped or hindered by
her practice in this regard.
If the man have IN official title, as
colonel, Judge or governor, doctor on
professor, his wife will use that title
in mentioning him in places and on
occasions and in the presence of per-
sons whenever or to whom this usage
will be in good taste.
Equally husband invariably speaks
OF my wife" or Mrs. Brown,a when
quoting his better half, rs good hus-
bands so frequently do.
She is not Mary, or Jennie, or Mar
garet to anybody except her own peo-
pie. and it Is bad form TO make the
outside world familiar with her sacred
home name. To children a father nat
uraliy speaks OF his wife as your
mother" and in alfectionate families
it is quite common and by no means
improper for parents 10 address one
another in the hearing of the little
ones as mamma" and papa"

Bohemians must be good men. They
must have brains of good quality and
hearts in the right place. They may

were born and tiocked to larger cities.
Mecca-lke, New York received
them. 1t was the great market in
which men who had brains to dispose
of to others did their trading. Com
