Mourning stanr. snrss.ted.

Assistant Postmaster James Gayler
has many callers daily, among them
some persons with queer missions. A
mar who bore in his hand a letter in an
envelope Of mourning inquired for Mr..
Gayler recently. He wanted to know;
'Isn't there any way that ! ear get
mourning stamps
Mourning stamps? / never heard Of
any" said Mr.. Gayler in some astonish-
ment.
Il should think tho government would
print some It is dreadful to put q big,
staring Columbian stamp, or even an
ordinary one Of the garish red color, on
a letter Of mourning. The stamp simply
destroys all tho effect Of the black Dor
der. There ought 10 be a mourning
stamp to harmonic with tho envelope"
Mr. Gayler promised to lay the re-
queat before the department at Wash
ington.-Eew York Tribune.

One may say, The requisites of sue
cess on the stage arc youth, health, good
elocutionary talents and practiced skill,
good looks and dramatic instinct. Then
it could be replied that if a person pos
sessed this combination he or she need
give himself or herself no further con-
Germ as to success. 1t is absolutely Sc
cure-as secure as an income from
$500, 600 of government bonds, and that
to a person just starting out on a stage
career and anxious to mako a good liv-
ing out Of it such preliminary condi-
tions are as remote as tho big bank bal
ance TO the new beginner in commercial
business.
1t is really the case that most Of the
conditions that qualify for stage sue.
cess have to DO worked for. This sort
of instruction may not be impaired by
professional teachers at so much a les
son, but it proceeds from teachers al
tho same, whether voluntary or invol
untary, since all human beings are con
tinually not only receiving but giving
lessons. Rose Coghlen.

He conducts in person services every
Sunday in his large, round kotla, OF

tree Of justice and the wide canopy Of
heaven I'm a truly %patriarchal style. He
is keen In the suppression Of all super
stitions and eats publicly the flesh Of
the duykcr, a sort Of rOebuck, which
was formerly the totem Of the tribe and
held as sacred among them 20 years
ago. The late King %Sikkome, Khama's
father, would not so much as step on
a duyker skin, and il is still looked up
on with more veneration by his sub
jects than Khnma would wish.
As an instance of Khama's power and
Judgment, It is sufficient for us to quote
the sudden change Of his capital from
S~hoshong to the present site, Palapwe.
S~hoshong was in a strong position,
where the Bamangwato could efectual'
ly protect themselves from the Mata-
beles' raids under Lobengula, but it was
badly supplied with water, and in dry
seasons the inhabitants suffered greatly
from drought. The change Of capital
had been a subject discussed for years,
but Khama waited quietly until people
began to think that he was against II
and would never move. He waited, il
fact, until he was sure of British pro.
lection, until he knew that Lobengulf
could o attack his people at PalapwC
without %embroiling himself in a wal
with England.
Then suddenly one day, without any
predatory warning, King Khama gav'
orders for the move, and the exodus
began on the next day, and in TIVE
months time 10, 900 individuals wert
located in their new capital, 90 mile
away from Shoshong. Under Khama'
direction, everything was conducted il
the best possible order. To every mai
was given his allotted ground, and h
was told to build his huts thereon No
a single dispute arose, and no one woul'
imagine today that only a few year
ago Palapwe was u~ninhabited.
Khama, in manner and appearance
is thoroughly a gentleman, dignife'
and courteous. He wears well mad
European clothes, a billycock hat an
gloves; in his hand he b%randishes
dainty cane, and he pervades every
thing in his country, riding abou
from point to point wherever his pres
ence is required, and If he is just a lii
tie too much of a dandy it is an erro
in his peculiar case in the right direC
ton. -Contemporary Review.

THE BAR At LIVERPOOL.
Its Removal, = Gigantic Task. Now Almo

Its Removal. = Gigantic Task. Now Almost
an Accomplished Fact.
The brief announcement the other day
that the White Star line steamship Ma
joctic, drawing "a feet. had passed over
the bar ~ Liverpool with three feet Of
water under her keel shows that the
great work Of removing the chief i'm
pediment to navigation in the Mersey is
nearly accomplished. The engineers Of
the Liverpool dock board state hat un-
der the worst possible conditions there
is a depth Of 90 feet of water over the
bar. the great sandbank having been cut
down no less than nine feet. and tho
debris bodily transported and dumped
far from the channel on a site where it
can do no possible harm.
During the three years that the work
has been going on no less than S.3S9, 600
tons OF sand have been removed. Allow
ing the rough measurement Of ahundred
weight Of sand to a cubic foot, it appears
that no less than 1928 cubic yards Of
materiaihave been shifted. This is said TO
be a record in the matter Of dredging
operations. and many other startling fig
ures are quoted.
During a recent week, for instance,
the three dredgers working at the bar
removed no less han l65 600 tons of
sand, a machine called the BranckeI
alone lifting and dumping 100. 600 tonso Out
of this enormous total. while in a little

In view OF the great reduction OF tho

great mnny people have wondered why
