Dressed to Suit the Weather.

According to the people in the neighbor-
hood of Freddie Gebhardt's habitat, that
charming gentleman and approximate bene-
dict is lightning change artist, says the New
York Recorder. AS they tell the story, Mr..
Gebhardt yesterday drove up to his own big
front door and, dismounting from his coupe,
rushed up his own front stoop and violently
rang his own front door bell Mr., Gebhardt
was faultlessly attired at this time in a hand
some frock coat, light gray trousers, delicate
necktie of a light shade, beautiful walking
stick Of light wood and a Turkish cigarette.
This tout ensemble had obviously been ar
ranged for mild sunshiny day in mldwinter.
But the afternoon was not what the morning
had promised. Dark clouds had obscured the
radiant orb of day and there was promise of
rain Fashion would never forgive Mr..
Gebhardt for any possible incongrufty
between the weather and his toilet
Hence his hasty return to his honse, and the
violent ringing of his own front door bell.
That vigorous summons was hastily an
swered by faithful valet, and Mr.. Gebhardt
disappeared within mis- portals In exactly
four minutes by the watch OF one of his vigi-
liant neighbOrs. Mr.. Gebhardt reappeared on
his front stoop. But what wonderful meta
morphoSs was there He wore a dark cuta-
way coat, dark trousers, dark necktie. a
black umbrella and a perfecto cigar. Mr.
GebhardS toilet now matched the weather
perfectly, and with that complaceney which
comes so easy and naturally from a knowl-
edge Of being wholly beyond criticism, Mr..
Gebhardt re-entered his coupe and drove
away. And it was all done in four minutes.

A Remarkable Man.

The Matabele war is ended and 10 Ben
gula and his savage warriors no longer
occupy the rich, gold-bearing table lands
between the Limpopo and the Zsmbesi, and
yet the world has heard very little of the
man who planned 10 Bengula's defeat,
and who viii be the chief beneficiary Of
the outcome of the contest. That man is
Cecil Rhodes, the managing director of
the Imperial British South African Com
pany. A writer of a recent article in the
Review Of Reviews said of him: "He has
the face of a Caesar, the ambition of a
LOyola, and the wealth of Croesus."
Cecil Rhodes is only Al years of age, yet
by his own unaided efforts he has accu-
mulated a fortune estimated to be be-
tween $50, 900, 900 and $75, 900 900, and is in
fair way to make what is now the South
African federation great republic He
formed the federation. For ten years he
has been working to bring all the terri
tory in South Africa, from Fam best to the
cape, under one authority, and he has
been successful even beyond his expecta-
tiohs. By one means and another he
has brought province after province into
the federation until he is almost in
position to say his object is accomplished.
Cecil Rhodes went to South Africa
when youth because his physician told
him that his lungs would not stand the
climate of England. He was employed
on the plantation of his brother in the
south Of Natal when the rush to the
diamond mines of Kimberly began. He
was one of those who went to the mines,
and H.
good health, but was without money, and
so was compelled to begin at the foot of
the ladder
BY patient industry and keen intelli-
gence he became stakeholder in num-
Der of the diamond mining companies,
and was made president of the De Beers
Mining Company, which had capital of
$1,000, 000 and owned the richest diamond
mine in South Africa The competition
between the companies was keen, and
they sold diamonds at whatever price
they could get for them. The result was
that the price of diamonds declined so
greatly that there was very little profit
in diamond mining.
Cecil Rhodes formed plan of CONSOLE
dating all the companies and putting up
the price of diamonds. For nine years he
worked to carry his plan into effect, and
finally succeeded. In 1889 the De Beers
Consolidated Mines, Limited, with cap
ital of nearly $50 OOO,0 obtained control
of all the. companies, and thus had a mo-
nopoly of the diamond industry in South
Africa. The price of diamonds at once ad-
vanced. Some idea of the immensely of
the business Of the De Beers company
may be obtained from the statement that
for the fifteen months ending June 30,
last, it mined and sold over $19, OO0, 900
worth of diamonds. With such bust
ness it is not strange that Cecil Rhodes is
as rich as a CrRsus.
Mr.. Rhodes is now premier of Cape
colony. Is he building up the South
African federation that it may be Brit
ish possession, or has he greater ambi-
tion-the founding of great South AT
rican republic.

Now they glow
Deep as ev'n your sunbright eyes,
Fair as ev'n the Weakening skies.
Can it not or can it be
Now that you give thanks TO see?
May not you rejoice as I,
Seeing the sky
Change to heaven revealed, and bid
Earth reveal the heaven it hid
All night long from stars and moon,
Now the sun sets all in tune?
What within you wakes with day
Who can say?

Friends who like each other well,
What might haply, If we might,
Bid us read our lives Alright.

solemn face and said he thought he would

Improvement OF the souarea.

There no one thing the city authorities
could do that would give more general
satisfaction than to improve the public
squares and encourage the improvement of
the grass plats along the residence streets
that have been paved. A year or two
ago there was good deal of interest
taken in this matter, but since the city
authorities ceased to protect the grass in
the squares and on the plats of the
graded streets there is virtually none
Most of the squares are beginning to have
the neglected appearance they had before
the Improvement of them began, and the
people have about given up trying to pro-
tect the grass plats in front of their resi-
dences. Without the help of the city
authorities they can do nothing, They
have become discouraged.
1t would be an easy matter to have the
squares looking fresh and green all the year
around instead of brown and bare as most
of them are. On apart of johnson square
clover is growing finely and has been
throughout the winter The whole
square could be made to present the same
attractive appearance; and so could the
other squares.
And the trees: Is there the attention
being given to them there ought to be-
Efforts have been made to have the city
council give more attention to tree plant
ing, but without success. There are
hundreds of places along the streets
throughout the city where trees ought to
be planted. Why is not some effort made
to fill up the gapsl The beauty of the
city depends largely upon the trees. The
city authorities, however, will not take
hold of this work systematically and
earnestly until the people themselves
show decided interest in it. Why the
people do not do so is one of the things for
which there is no explanation.
