The tanning powers of prosperity are
shown in the case of Herbert Ward, the
African explorer, who left these shores
three or four years ago newly welded to
millionaire's daughter. but determined
to write amply of his travels and to
make yet other explorations. He has
since lived in palace, travelled i'll no
foreign parts, and published, besides a
few magazine articles for which he was
under contract, only a single volume.
E. J. Glaye. his old friend and compan>
ion in Africa, has in the same time made
two notable journeys in wilds of Alaska
written a vast deal of those and other ex
plorations, and undertaken an iMpor-
tant and perilous expedition int savage
Africa. Yet Ward, quite as much as
Glays, is born wanderer.

Money from tho Midway.

Milk and honey will flow, and there

lands of the Orient this winter The
people of the Midway. SAYS the Chicago
Tribune, are going home, and they are
taking with them an amount which.
added to what they have already sent,
is estimated to approximate $1,O00,000

days by Egyptians, Gopts, Franks,

far away homes
1t was a curious sight to see them
come in. The first arrival Tuesday
was a dokey boy from Cairo street.
From his remote corner of his flowing
robes he produced tattered cloth, and
unrolling it, dumped 800 in silver on
the counter.
LET me have French francs for it,"
he said, through the interprete r. A
camel driver followed who wanted ST.

came in an Arab who bought draft for

900 to transfer, Persian dancer with a
fortune of 81 800 in American silver, and
Nubian soldier, who unrolled 5000 m
bills. All day Tuesday and Wednesday
they came with money in every imagin-
able receptacle. The elderly Egyptian
whe sold plasters worth four cents for
coins of 300 b. G. for 20 each, planked
down several hundred dollars in bills
and asked for French Napoleons. De-
yoxt Turks, who had spared the time
from their devotions to sell something,
had Jumps of bills to turn into gold.

Rayenous Crows.

.'As much as l have studied the habits of the American crow" said Columbus C.. Everett at the Lindell, "Inever found anything disagreeable about him. have often wondered where a crow gets it's wonderful vision and power of scenting danger. They are queer birds, always looking down on one with an ominous eye that bodes no friendship I never realized what aw ful and evil intelligence these birds have until 1 studied another type of them, the raven of India. When I travelled in India three years ago, made many journeys on pack animals through long, dreary sections of terri tory. It was then that perceived their wisdom.
 "On more than one occasion our little party was followed for hours and days by ravens, q hungry swarm that kept 8 certain distance, but never lost sight of us. began to wonder why we were shadowed by these hungry birds. Some of the natives said that they were watch ing for some of us to fall by the wayside. As an experiment 1 shot a dog and left it lying. These miserable vultures at tackled it at once, within stones throw of us. I should wonder little but that the American crow has the same tend encies and only waits scarcity of grain to show them. ."-St. Louis Globe psEuoerst.

The Use of RevoIvers by Cavalry.

Few soldiers ever understood the se- cret of handing squadrons better than did Sheriden Custer or Stuart. Natu- rally enough. when there were no tradi- tions to go upon and not much time for training, men turned instinctiyely to the weapon they were most accustomed to and rarely used-their saDers until they had exhausted their supply of cartridges. A charge carried through with decision swept opposition away by its rush and volume. Riders were unhorsed and chargers knocked over without the aid of sword cuts, and men who had learned to shoot on horseback made good prac- tice with carbines or revolvers when their foes had given way end were fly ing before them. An American might. in fact, be trusted to look after himself uncommonly well in his own fashion.
 Itwas Quantreil especially who showed how much might be done in this way and how completely a cavalryman might dispense with his traditional armament. That daring leader, the Turcoman of the southern states. equipped each of his fol- lowers with at least two revolvers and taught them to shoot as skillfully with the left as with the right hand. A good swordsman would be as much at dis count in an encounter with such oppo- nents as the bravest Afghan or Zulu at the muzzle of Martini But the suc- cess of the revolver in this particular in stance affords no solid foundation for theories as to it's value for horsemen less accustomed to it's use.-London Saturday Review

Earned to Death.

NEW HARTFORD, March 2l.-Mrs. Sarah Morse, aged 79, residing with her invalid brother at Burlington Center, was burned to death Saturday morning. It is supposed that she arose to build the fire and used kerosene oil. In doing so it ignited, and her clothes caught fire. Her brother was in an adjoining room, but she did not scream, and he was notified of her peril only by the rooms being filled with smoke. He arose and found her dead. He barely succeeded in putting out the fire and saving the house.
