REPUBLICAN ECONOMY.

II the Enterprise is anxious TO trace
up a chance to save the State Treas
urv $3.50. Lee it investigate the fraudu-
lent claim Of Trenmor Coffin, Chair
man of the State Central Republican
Committee. He has bill before the
Legislature for $3.50, for alleged SER
vices to the State in the case OF Lin
coin county VS.. the State. The case
was defended, as the law provided, by
Attorney General Torreyson, but COT
fin was wrung in on the State as an
assistant, under the hollow Pretense
that his legal services We're required,
but really for the purpose of reaching
into the Treasury for $3.50 which did
not belong to him.
The case, which will be fully dis
cussed by the APPEAL at the proper
time. affords the great reform journal
of the Comstock fine opportunity OF
getting in and protecting the State
Treasury.
The bill has about the rankes'
smell of any little job placed before
the Legislature for many years.

Wesley became aware that he loved
her.
The revelation was a shock to him,
for he had been preaching celibacy
since he was a small boy. He had felt
himself welded to the church, to his
great faith and mission in life. Tho
strife of spirit threw him into fever.
Miss Canston did the only thing that
a young lady in her state of mind could
do. She nursed him, and he allowed
her to. This circumstance was suffi-
Gent proof TO their friends that mar
rage was certain. If more proof were
needed, he raved of her in his delirium.
Miss Canston brought her aunt to hear
him, and between them they fancied
him quite decided to marry Sophia. He
asked her many times if she would or
could marry him, ''and if he should,
indeed, marry her"
After his recovery Wesley's friends
came to congratulate him on his en-
gagement. But ever since his miracu-
lous rescue from fire in his childhood
he had been convinced that he had been
singled out by his Maker for some spe-

prostrating himself before an earthly
idol and forgetting his mission.
Alarmed for his soul he rushed to the
bishop and the Moravian missionaries
for advice. They had the, same hard,
unrelenting convictions which tor
mepted Wesley, and they advised him
TO give up his idol and turn to his God.
Wesley knew not what TO do. He wan
dered in the forests praying aloud for
light as to his walk before God. He,
knelt under the blooming grape vines,
and, shielded by the long gray moss
from any living eye, sought wisdom
and comfort.
Poor Sophia was heart-broken- Her
relatives were incensed and compelled
her TO marry Mr.. Williamson, though
she begged Wesley to intercede in her
behalf. Even after she was married
she wrote to Wesley, and cast pitiful
glances al him until in his desperation
one day he forbade her to attend holy
communion. He explained this after
wards on technical grounds, but the

and il catches il without hook and line.

with its claws extended in front, and

and TO place them upon its back with
view of ornamentation. The crab
commonly stands upright on it's rear
feet, and it decorates itself mainly
about IT'S head. Often, however. these
crabs have practically all over their
backs more or less short fibres Of about
their own color, which is nearly black.
The taller things that they place about
their heads are sometimes broken of
or rubbed off as they go about, and
then they put up fresh ones.
The decorating crabs legs are equal
in length and size. It's claws have
pincers like the ordinary crabs. but
smaller. The decorating crab uses its
pincer claws 70 hold its food and con-

Dismal Failure His Home
Life at Pretoria.

His honor, the president of the South
African republic, writes a cores
pondent of the Gentlewoman, is one of,
if not the most, remarkab bic characters
at present occupying the political stage
Of South Africa. The Transvaal, over
whose destinies President Kruger
watches. is the richest gold-bearing re-
gion in South Africa, if not in the
world-an independent Dutch repu bile
founded by the Beers who were ousted
from the Cape colony by what they
were pleased to term English misrule.
Their bitter antipathy 20 British mis-
appropriation of territory colouized
and conquered by their fathers drove
them further afield to the unexplored
tracks beyond the Vaal river, where as
Gods chosen people they could read
their Bibles, and harass the natives, far
away from Cape oflicialism.
Unlike his neighbor president. Mr..
Reitz, of the Orange Free state IAN
other thriving offshot of Dutch seces-
SION, who is a man OF academic and
forensic standing, Mr.. Kruger's mar
velous administrative capacity is based
solely on his native and unframed
talents. He is sixty-eight years of age,
a Boer of the Beers, shrewd, obstinate,
combining the gaucheries of an Eng.
lish rustic with an amazing astuteness
which would become many a skilled
diplomat. Ungainly of figure. South
African James the First, he is gifted
with far more caution than the Stuart
monarch. He shines more at the coun-
sil than the social board; in. fact, he de-
tests social functions, and many are the
true anecdotes of his solecisms and &C.
centricities.
When visiting the neighboring colony
of Natal on one occasion, he and Mrs.
kruger firmly refused sumptuous
lunch prepared by loyal township en-
route, and, to the CONSERVATION of the

and fail to grasp the true import of

At "A recent conference on the vexed
question Of Swaziland between Sir
Henry Loeb and his honor, the latter,
when dining with the high commits
sioner of our gracious majesty, stoutly
refused Perier and Jouet, preferring
the charms of mixture of milk and
water-a remnant of his patriarchal up
bringing. And cigars! Uncanny things
for Boer president, who smoked a
capacfSis pipe charged with Boer to-
bacco to conteract the evil fumes OF
Flor Fina"
In his modest home at Pretoria, a
one-storied, low-roofed building, APP
propriately situated opposite the Dop-
per church, where he and Mrs. Kruger
are regular attendants, they dispense
homely but hearty hospitality, which is
not to be wondered at, when the presi-
dents salary is 81, 900 per annum, with
an allowance of $500 for coffee! Coffee
is the favorite and almost exclusive
beverage of his subjects, and on the
stoop, or open veranda of the presi
dency, surrounded by public offices
which cost s75, ZOO, President Kruger
puffs his pipe, sips his coffee, and ma
lures schemes which puzzle and per-
pick the minds of British and colonial
diplomats, who can do much, but they
can't circumvent the burgher president.
Mrs. Kruger is, like the ma jorlty of
Dutch women, very stout, and was
born and bred in the Transvaal. The
daughter of Mr.. Oppermaln, one Of the
old burghers who are gradually dying
out, she is an able and sympathetic
helpmate to the president in his dis
pensing of coffee and shaking of hands,

HE WEARS A WIG
Disguises Assumed by the Sea
Spider for Protection.
Scraps OF Marine Plants Set Upon Its Rack
to Conceal Its observation-disclosures
Ways of a Guest at Castle
Garden Aquarium.

The sea spider, or decorating crab,
has something of the appearance of
spider, but IL is not repulsive as the
spider is. 1t is common in many To-
calities. The particular decorating crab
here pictured is in the city's aquarium
at Castle Garden. SAYS the New York
Sun. This crab is about seveu-eightbs
OF an inch in size, so that the picture
shows it at pretty nearly life size. The
decorating crab attains a size OF FIVE
inches or more, but usually after reach
ing two inches it ceases to decorate it.
self. It lives on other small cruStacea
and small fish.
The decorating crab takes its name
from its habit OF sticking upon its back
scraps of marine plants, and so on,
which il places with deliberate care. IL
is not unusual 10 find decorating crabs
with little sea anemones on their backs.
Sometimes the crab pulls them off from
their abiding place on rocks or else
where and puts them on its back itself,
and sometimes little anemones land
upon the back OF a decorating crab in
the natural order of things, just as
they might upon Spite or stone, and
stay there. So placed. they are moved
about and get bigger range of feed
ing than they would if fixed in one
place, and they are apparently satisfied;
If they were not they could easily let
go and get off. In captivity, however,
the anemones are likely TO leave the
crab; they may be disturbed or they
may be brushed OF by contact with
planlls in the tank as the crab moves
about. Scraps of seaweed and sprigs
and little branches of various marine
plants form the staple Of the decorate
ing crabs decorations. and with these
it continues TO adorn itself in captivity
as in freedom.
In nature the decorating crab puts
these things upon its back to protect
itself from its enemies. Resting in the
mud, and partly covered by it, and
with these things rising from its back
like natural growth from the bottom,
it is practically invisible. But in cap
tivity it appears TO select these things
