Leander Jameson, known famiIiarly
as "Dr. Jun" who brought about the
recent crisis IN the Trsnsvaal, is a
Scottish doctor. He roomed with Slr
Cecil Rhodes while he was a practi-
toner at Kimberly, and it is said that
Mr.. Rhodes owes the preservation OF
his life OF DR.. Jamepon's care and
nursing through a dangerous illness.
DR.. Jameson cured King Lobengula
Of an illness, for which the King
granted him some favors which ultl-
mately resulted in his receiving the
post OF Administrator Of Mashonaland
IN 1891. He had averted one conflict
with the Beers, and prosecuted later
the war with the Matabele in Mash
onaland With such ability as to excite
the admiration of military circles. 1t
is said that DR., Jameson at one time
saved the life Of President Kruger -
AdUoCGte.
Orders have been given in New
York city to stop entirely the sale Of
liquors in the form Of candy.
Another minor rebellion has broken
out in Corea. The insurrection was
caused by a royal proclamation re-
curing Coreans to sacrifice their
quenes ana wear their hair in west
ern fashion
Hanke, in the district OF Kotshi,
Japan, has received a gift OF 500
from the government on account of
the unusually exemplary behavior of
the villagers For over 200 years
there have been neither quarrels or
law suits in the place, no crimes have
occurred, the taxes have always been
paid in time and whenever misfor-
tunes have come to the villagers they
have helped each other without call
ing on the authorities.
Many a family is deprived Of the
necessalies Of life by the man of the
house consuming the meat in drink.
The question is sometimes asked
whether women are or are not meaner
than men. Some say they are less
generous in giving tips" to servants
and others. II this be the case (which
is doubtful), perhaps the reason is be-
cause the money they have generally
belongs to some one else, and they
are too conscientious IN the manage
ment Of it to be generous at snother's
expense. Men appear to be more
generous because they have generally |
more money TO spend, and certainly |
few women would have recompensed |
a service as shsbbily as a man did IN |
the following instance. Having been |
rescued from drowning by sailor,
he presented the latter with the mag
nificent reward Of one shilling. As
the man was known to be rich, indig.
nant murmurs arose from the crowd |
who had witnessed the rescue. |
Among them was the poet Burns,
who said, "My friends, the gentleman
must know his own value better than
we do"
The remark Of a big man, that he
possessed more brains than any living
person, because he possessed big
body, was out Of time himself, as
many fool has possessed more
Drains than he did, for all his big
Of flesh.

Who met each week with a literary
program and gossip of occurring
