The son,h African aoId-aeIds.

From Advertisements and inquiries
IN the newspapers it is evident that the
South African gold-ields have a posi-
tive attraction for some OF our people.
No doubt there are openings there for
men OF the right stamp, although adj
vices from the "diggings' say that
there is a superfiuity of labor there.
The extent OF gold-bearing country
there and the rush OF fortune-hunters
may yet have some such effect upon
the worlds business as the discovery
of the California and Australia gold

The coal mines near Dresden have long
been celebrated for the production Of
fungi which emit q light resembling pale
moonlight. 1t is phosphorescent in Its
nature. Another species furnishes use
full color for dyeing; another is employed
for making ink; another is utilized for
stupefying bees, for stanching blood and
for making tinder; another serves the
Laplanders to destroy hedbugs, for which
purpose it is smeared upon the walls and
bedposts, and another is valued by the
Kamschatkans for manufacturing an in
toxicating liquor,
The ''polyporous squamosus" makes
razor strap far superior to those com
monty sold. For this purpose it must be
cut from the ash tree upon which 1t
grows, in the autumn, when Its juices
have been dried and its substance has
become solidifed. 1t is then to be fiat
tened out for twenty-four hours in a
press, after which it should be carefully
rubbed with pumice, sliced longitudinal
ly, and every slit that is free from dam
age by insects glued upon u wooden
stretcher In quite ancient times this
fungus was so employed, and 1t seems
strange that it has gone so entirely out
of fashion. Washington Star.

keep him in comfort the rest Of his life.

he has invested in one Of our large in
surance companies sum Of money
which insures to him an annuity Of $751;
700 year for life. He did this when
some Of his friends rather protested
against his lavish gift to the club. ]

journalism in the broad bosom of the
Rockies in midwinter is arduous. At
this time, when the houlevards are
wrapped in the plastic embrace Of the
snowslide, and the march Of communi-
cation with the outer world is imagi-
nary and progressive, the constituency
unite in wishing that winter was gone
gone with her laughter and love. The
country scribe seeks the snowy wreaths
Of truth in silence and with uncertain
step, as a search warrant parades the
realms of somnambulistic slumbers in
quest of hundred typos to cope with
the rush Of business at the office, which
is left in charge of his satanic majesty,
Now, what seems death is a change,
when we look deeper down in the worlds
beautiful, and the blazoned optic sees
not fruition but an altar in coercion Of
the tribute of nature. However, no one
can deprive hibernated vitality Of this
sphere Of the felicity that across the
vista Of winter, with its fathoms Of
SHOWS and frosts, April smiles, and the
atmosphere ripens with fragrance and
crocus blooms, just as over the gulf Of
death Faith sees the glow of the jeweled
walls Of heaven. N. B.--Only lie in this

1t and saw at glance that her opinion

tanned $5,O66 There were ten FIVE hun

Within half an hour a pale faced

breathlessly If purse had been recently

the shop before missing it, discovering
her loss at an up stairs department to
which she had gone from the one where
the purse escaped her. Her identiiica-

They Wanted to Open Accounts.

"A man hastily entered a La Sale street
bank recently and, approaching teller's
window, carelessly threw down check
with the remark. 81 would like to de-
posit that; please credit the amount to
my account" The teller glanced at the
check and winked very hard and vigor-
ously to convince himself that his eyes
were still all right. The bit Of paper
called for S463, 900, and bore the signature
of one of the most powerful syndicates
in this country. 1t was accepted with
out a word, and the depositor left the
bank within one minute Of the time he
entered it.
A few weeks ago middle aged woman,
carrying small sachel, entered down
town bank and said to teller that she
would like to make a deposit.
1--WE can't open an account with you, !"
said the young man behind the window,
''rnless you make some arrangement
with the cashier personally. ! can give
you certificate Of deposit, however"
"Very well, quietly remarked the vis-
itor, q don't want to be bothered to
carry this about town, and the certif-
cate will do very well until l can find
some institution that will open an ac-
count with me-"
The expectant young man opened his
certificate blank book and dipped his
pen in the inkwell before him. The
sachel was opened and from it came
not black purse or few dollars tied
into a knot in a handkerchief corner
but United States bonds, the face value
of which aggregated more than $24S, 900.
The certificate was not filed out. An

Cold Water Ipiures Plants,

Guard against the application of cold
or hard water to the roots Of plants, and
especially in the winter months, when
there has been a heavy fall of snow, hail
or cold rains. The water in the tanks
then becomes very much too cold. This
may not be noticed in the ordinary
course of things, and the plants are sure
to suffer check at the roots that. in the
case Of camellias, for instance, would
be quite sufficient to cause bud dropping.
] am always very careful that the water
In our tanks is few degrees warmer
than the house in which the plants are
growing. This is very important in sue
cessful plant culture.
We are apt to say sometimes on be-
holding sickly plant mildewed or
with rust on the foliage-that it must
have been subjected to a draft or cur
rent Of cold air, whereas the probable
cause was he use Of cold water, which
paralyzed the roots. Proof Of this may
easily be seen by giving one or two ap-
plications Of cold water to winter GU
cumbers or kidney beans when setting
their pods Exchange.

ordering His Own rombstope,

A countryman called on sculptor in
Tilsit and ordered tombstone in the
shape of cross, and gave full instruc-
tions as to the lettering and the date Of
the decease and promised to fetch it
away himself. He failed, however, to
turn up at the day appointed, and the
sculptor wrote to remind him Of his
promise. The other day the man turned
up at last, but said that he wanted the
date erased. 0n'being asked his reason
for the strange request the countryman
answered that gypsy woman had told
him that he would die on the day which
he had ordered to be inscribed on the
cross; the prophecy had not, however,
come true, and he now wanted to take
away the monument, but without the
date. --Deutsche Warte.

BALLAD or a JESTER.

When boards were brown that now are frore,
Above the snlt used to sit;
Now, at life's feast, am no more
Than yon poor dog that turns The spit.
Icould go mad to think fits
Although forever in mine ears
Rings an old rhyme that once was writ,
"'Twill matter naught III fifty years"
When ilagons with Rhine wine ran DER.
Ard tongues wagged fast. and lamps were lit,
s'set the table in a roar"
With many shaft OF wanton witt
The king would cry in boist rous fit,
While walls and root tree rang with cheers,
Good cousin, never heed the hit,
Twill matter naught in fifty years"
Iioved maid in dayso yore.
And thought to win The sancy chit,
Despite the motley suit" wore;
tAlack, how far my fancies hlD
The damsel cared for me no whit,
And got naught but japes and jeers
That chafed me like a jennet's bit,
Twill matter nonght In fifty years.
Head weary am and heartsore:
! meet cold welcomes. and submit
Like him that hath not paid his score,
The tapster will no more admit.
Life's rayeled threads the fates unknit,
And soon, with fardels and with tears.
And cap and bells shall be quit;
Twill matter nought in fifty years.
Friends, though the grave gapes like a pit.
And mirth takes wing when grief appears,
Bear bravely what the heavens permit;
Twill matter much In fifty years.
