Children's Letters.

A little boy who in the absence of his
parents had been sentenced to go to bed
early by relative was seen to be busy
with a pencil and paper, after which he
carefully buried the communication il
a hole in the garden and retired to bed.
The missive when disinterred ran as fol-
lows;
DEAR Mr.. DEvIL-Please come and take
Aunt Jane. Please be quick. Yours,
ROBERT.
1t is to be regretted that not a single
letter by Roman or Greek child sur
wives, the nearest approach being, per-
haps, some verses written by child Of
10 in the later empire, which his parents
had engraved upon his tomb two years
later. The ancients dotted ON their chill
dren. Catullus wrote an ode to his
daughters sparrow, Ovid to his chill
dren's parrot, and the Greeks wrote
epigrams to their children's toys They
even made offerings Of toys to their dead
children for playthings in the world Of
spirits. But no voice of Greek child
comes to us across the gulf Of time

Second crop sorghum will kill cows"
Is the verdict Of experienced dairy farm
ers. Cows cannot safely be turned into
wet, growing sorghum when they are
hungry any more than into field Of wet
clover when they are hungry. The effect
is similar. They must be seasoned TO the
sorghum as to the clover.
Ensilage will be fed pieatifully to
cows at the great dairy test Of the Co
lumbian exposition, and the silos for the
purpose are all ready. The corn for this
purpose was grown in Illinois.
One successful dairyman feeds corn
silage night and morning to his cows
with hay in the middle Of the day. Be
idcs wheat bran he gives as a grain feed
equal parts by weight Of corn and oats
ground together.
Phosphate of lime certainly does help
prevent abortion in cows; at least that
o the verdict Of many COW doctors and
cow raiserS.

A Royal Book BUYER.

Empress Catherine Ii of Russia was a
great reader and lover Of books. One
of her services to letters in Russia was
the purchase of the libraries of Voltaire
and Diderot. She was warm friend
and admirer of these French philoso-
pliers, and their work interested her be-
cause she was eager to learn new theo-
ries of politics and government. Vol
taire's library of about 1000 volumes is
now part of the Russian imperial Ii
brary in the Hermitage palace, and in
the hall devoted to it is Houdon's statue
of Voltaire.
The story of GATHERINGS purchase OF
Diderot's library is interesting. 1t is
creditable to her tact and her generosity.
Diderot named e15,000 as the price of
his library. Catherine II offered him
GIG, 900 and named as condition of the
bargain that her purchase should remain
with Diderot until his death. Thus Did.
erot, without leaving Paris. became
GATHERINGS librarian in his own library.
AS her librarian he was given yearly
salary of $1,000.
One year this salary was not paid
Then Catherine wrote to her librarian
that she could not have him or her IL
brary suffer through the negligence of a
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set aside
for the care and increase of her library
for so years. At the end of that period
she would make new arrangements. A
check for e25, 900 accompanied this let

1nE TRADERS TRAGEDY
Fatal Exploit of an American
Adventurer In Zululand.
THE DEED OF A DESPERATE MAN.

ne Fired a Train of Gunpowder, and III,
Death Carried It's Own Revenge. but the
mvstery of the Missionary's wife Re.
nnins Unsolved.
The coast of southeast Africa is one Of the
most dangerous in the world. Currents,
constantly varying both In direction and
intensity, carry the navigator far out of his
course and often land him upon some reef
or sand bar. The fact that the Robert
Miller, from London for Bombay, should
have been wrecked near the bay of Natal
was therefore not strange. But what was
unusual was the great loss of life that at
sepdcd the wreck. Only one man out of
all those on board managed to reach the
shore IN safety.
This man was Charles Lee, an American
whose subsequent adventures are thus re-
lated by John Crittenden Marriott in the
San Francisco Chronicle:
Flung by the waves on the coast of Ma
tai, with his money safe in a waterproof
belt, Lee changed his plans and resolved
npoD trading trip into the interior. Pur-
chasing wagon and span of oxen and
hiring two native assistants, he "trekked"
north into Zululand. In his wagon he
carried numerous articles for trade with
the natives. Among them, carefully CON
cealed under the wagon seat, he carried
few kegs of powder. They were concealed
because the laws forbid the sale of powder
10 natives.
One morning he "outspanned" at small
village where there was missionary sta
tion. The missionary himself was. away,
but bis wife came down to the traders
wagon expecting to find many articles
needed to replenish her household stores
Lee sold what she wished, all the time

CHANGING PlANlSTS.
An Incidental Performance That Proved

An Incidental Performance That Proved
Interesting.
''As interesting as anything I've seen
in this town." said visitor to the city,
"was a change of pianists that saw in
q variety theater. There was man on
the stage singing a song, and the pianist
was playing the accompaniment. hap
pened to see the pianist glancing to the
left once, and l looked in that direction
myself and saw coming down the aisle
man that judged must be the relief pi.
enist, and so he was. imagined that
he would sit down for moment and
wait, but, dear me, | was very slow.
I He was approaching the piano at the
bass end of the keyboard. When IT, had
almost reached the corner of the i mo,
the man who was playing began gal!iy
sliding off the seat to the right, still
playing. By this time the relief was
abreast of the bass keys, and these the
first player, who was still sliding stead
lily to the right, now relinquished to him,
and then the newcomer, still stan ing,
but also moving steadily to the right,
struck in in perfect time and tune.
There was a brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing-thc
retiring pianist the treble and the on
coming player the bass-and for Il frac.
ton of a second they were both stand
ing. But now the new player is fairly
opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat, and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole piano resounds to his resolute
touch.
"In fact, there never was a minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never was a minute
when the men were not completely mas
tiers of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief ap-
preached until he was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con-
tinuously in motion, but the change was
made without a jar or a slur in the mu
sic and without the omission of note"
