The War i'm Africa.

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 7.-Telegrams re-
ceived here this evening announce that
all the chartered company's forces from
FIT. Victoria, numbering 500 men. with
machine guns, are advancing toward the
Matabelle border. Most of the men are
mounted, and the movement is decided
upon owing to the fact that several
patrols have been fired on. Chief Com
missioner Loeb has given DR.. Jameson
an entirely free hand in the matter.
Advices from Pretoria state that the
cession of Swaziland to the Transvaal
has been agreed upon. Maj. Adams,
who is in command Of the government
police, has been ordered to occupy Mon
arch Reef, at Tati, in order to protect
the people there.

A Dogs Fnst Run.

Albert Gleason OF Woburn owns q
little fox terrier of which he has always
thought a good deal, but which he now
values still more highly because of an
exhibition of his faithfulness and pluck
which the little animal recently gave.
Mr.. Gleason is the station agent at
'Woburn Highlands. and the other day
he boarded train there TO go 10 Boston.
He entered the last car, and when the
train arrived at Cross-st he was sur
prised, on looking back, to see that the
dog was following II and was only a
short distance behind. AS the train
moved on the dog continued 70 follow at
a most astonishing speed, and at Win
chester he was only about two hundred
feet behind it. The distance between
the two towns is one and three-quarter
miles and the little dog had covered It
in less than four minutes.-Boston Tran

Let's All Move to China.

Boston Globe.
A noted pessimistic philosopher in
Germany lays down the maxim that
if you reverse everything in the pres
ent order Of civilization you will have
best started on the road of perfection.
"Our present civilization is an exact
inversion of progress" is his basic
statement.
This philosopher ought to lose no
time in locating in China. The Chi
nese do everything backward. They
reverse the usual order of civilization
exactly. They completely invert our
methods, and are, therefore, far along
according to this Germans theory, on
the road Of perfection.
Note first that the Chinese compass
points to the south instead of the
north.
The men wear skirts and the wo-
men trousers.
The men wear their hair long and
the women wear it short.
The men carry on dressmaking and
the women carry burdens.
The spoken language of China is
not written, and the written language
is not spoken.
Books are read backward, and what
we call foOtnotes are inserted at the
top of the page.
The Chinese surname comes first
instead of last.
The Chinese shake their own hands
instead of the hands Of those they
would greet.
The Chinese dress in white at fun
erals and in mourning at weddings

I bridesmaids.

In Illinois and some other States
these Is an old law on the statute
books to the effect that in criminal
gases the jury is Judge OF the law as
well as the facts" Though not often
quoted, once in a while a lawyer with
desperate case makes use of it. In
one case the judge instructed the jury
that it was to judge of the law as
well as the facts, but added that it
was not to judge of the law unless 1t
was fully satisfied that it knew more
law than the judge. An outrageous
verdict was brought in, contrary to
all instructions Of the court, who felt
called upon to rebuke the jury. At
last one old farmer arose. "Jedge,
said he, weren't we to jedge the law
as well as the facts ?" Certainly"
was the response, "but l told you not
to Judge the law unless you were
clearly satisfied that you knew the
law better than l did," "Well,
Jedge," answered the farmer, as he
shifted his quid, 1--WE considered tina

The Elephants Laughed.

Mr.. O'Shea, the well-known war
correspondent, tells the following an
ecdOte of an adventure with herd Of
elephants:
"a young friend asked me once to
show him some elephants, and l took
him with me, having first. borrowed
an apron and filled it with oranges.
This he was to carry while accompa-
nying me to the stable; but the mo-
ment we reached the door the herd
set up such trumpeting-they had
scented the fruit-that he dropped
the apron and its contents, and scut-
tied of like jack rabbit. There
we're eight elephants, and when /
found l had five and twenty.
III walked deliberately along the
line, giving one to each. When | got
to the extremity of the narrow stable
| turned and was about to begin the
distribution again, when ! suddenly
reflected that If elephant No. ! In the
row saw me give two oranges In sue
cesion to No. 8 he might imagine he
was being cheated, and give me
smack with his proboscis-that Il
where the elephant falls short OF the
human being-so l went to the dool
and began denovo as before.
"Thrice l went along the line
and then / was In a fix. l had on'
orange left, and I had to get back tt
the door. Every elephant In thai
herd had his greedy gaze focused OF
that orange. It was as much as m.
life was worth to give 1t to any on
of them What was / to DO? l hell
1t up conspicuously, cooly peeled !
and sucked it myself. 1t was mos
amusing to notice the way those ele
plants nudged each other and shoo
their ponderous sides. They thol
oughly entered into the humor Of tn
thing"

the ANGELIC HUS8AND.

There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are as
the morn.
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are famous ones and wealthy,
But the real angelic husband. well-he's
never yet been born.
Some for strength OF love are noted
Who are really 50 devoted
That whenever their wives are absent they
are lonesome and forlorn
And while now and then you'll find one
Who's a fairly good and kind one
Yet the real angelic husband-oh, he's never
yet been born,
So the woman who is mated
To a man who may be rated
AS pretty fair" should cherish him foreve
and day,
| For the real angelic creature,
| Perfect, quiet in every feature
He has never yet been discovered, and h
won't be, so they say.

HIDDEN TREASURES

Supposed to be Buried at Bay St. Louis.
The Jackson Evening News says:
Hidden treasures have ever possessed
to the mind Of man a fascination,
which in some instances, has proven
irresistible.
Large sums Of money have been
spent in going to the bottom OF the
sea after precious cargoes which went
down in ships.
In some instances the hunting of
buried treasures has been like sending
good money after bad, while in other
undertakings rich rewards have been
reaped, and those who endured the
hardships and dangers of the search
have been repaid tenfold.
A party of JacksOnians. whose
names the writer is not at liberty to
divulge, are at this present moment
searching for a buried treasure, which
II found, will make them independ-
ent for life.
The party is a small one. They left
this city quietly last week, and no
one was the wiser by their leaving. A
reporter happened to stumble upon it..
The story in connection with the bur-
led treasure is quite an interesting
one.
A young man reared in this State,
when he had attained to manhood
became an expert with cards, and was
accounted one of the most successful
gamblers in the State. He became
restless and sought new fields. Hi
restless spirit took him to the grea
State of Texas. There, with varying
luck he tempted the tickle goddess o
chance, until his rowing disposition
prompted him to cross over into th
land of the Aztecs, where the love O
gambling is almost universal.
Luck, which had played hide an,
SEEK with him for some time past sud
denly changed its course, and his col
fers we're soon filled with gleaminl
jewels, which had once lent beauty t
. some fair sonora /; fine gold watches
which once were the property of som
rich Mexican, and good;pile Of mon
; ey, all contributed to his worldly POI
sessions, and when he took his d
u parture from the scene of his suddt
, riches, he had all told $40 600 in mo
- ey and $50 600 in jewels.
He started back to visit the seer
% " of his boyhood. On reaching Bay S
~ Louis, in this State, he was strickt
with fever. and before he was take
- to his bed he buried this treasure
'' the Bay, thinking he would recover
when the fever left him. A phys
~ clan was summoned, but he was /
yond all human aid-the seal
20 20 death was on the gamblers brow
y Before the black messenger call
him he wrote to a friend in this cit
!, giving a description and a map of t
~ place where the treasure was burle
90 and shortly after this he expired.
This friend told two or three of |
20 " friends, and together they went
III Bay St. Louis to search for the II
tune. They readily located the sp
% but the water now covers it. Th
=, have supplied themselves with d
~ ing bell and propose staying there
w til they recover the money.
~ Those who know say there is
- -, doubt about the money being the

that business was effected very little
