+ MOUNTAINS OF MANiCALAND.
A Part Of South Africa That May Bo Com
pared With Switzerland.

Two hundred miles north northeast OF
Pasutoland the great Kathlamba range
rises in very bold slopes from the coast
levels behind Delagoa bay, and the scenery
Of the valleys and passes Is said to be ex-
tremely grand. Knowing 1t, however, only
by report, will not yonturo to describe 1t.
Nearly 500 miles still farther to the north,
In the district called Manicaland, Is q
third mountain region, less lofty than
Bssutoland but deriving singular charm
from the dignity and variety of Its noun
tain forms.
The whole country Is SO elevated that
SUBMITS OF 1000 or even 5000 feet do not
produce any greater effect upon the eye
titan does Ben Lomond as seen from Looh
Lomond or Mount Washington from the
Glen House. But there Is boldness
Of line about these granite peaks oompar-
able to those of tho west coast of Norway
or of the finest parts Of tho Swiss Alps.
Some of them rise In smooth shafts Of ap-
parently inaccessible rock. Others form
long ridges OF pinnacles Of every kind Of
shabe, specially striking when they stand
out against tho brilliantly clear morning
or evening sky. The valleys arc we'll
wooded, the lower slopes covered with
herbage, so the effect Of these wild peaks
Is heightened by the softness of tho sur
roundings which tboy dominate, while at
gthe same time tho whole landscape be-
comes more complex and moro noble by
the mingling of such diverse clements.
No scenery better deserves tho name Of
romantic. And even In tho tanner parts,
where instead of mountains there arc only
low hills, or ''kopjes" rs they arc called
in South Africa, tho comparatively friable
rock of these hills decomposes under tho
influence of the weather into curiously
picturesque and fantastic forms, with
crags riyen to their base and detached pill
lars supporting loose blocks and tabular
masses among or upon which tho timid
Mashonas have built their huts in the hope
of escaping the raids of their warlike enc
mics, the Matabeles. James

Another Matter.

Probably it is only in the old world,
where human life is cheap and chill
dren are often u burden, that such an
incident could have taken place us one
which is related i'll French paper
a woman was found weeping bitterly
III the street. and n gcndarmc asked her
what was the matter
oh, oh! I've lost the baby"
Your baby, ma'am?''
Mine? No." answered the woman.

I'd be boohooing like this? It's my

moro frequently told shan those of big
baskets filled at lakes or ponds known to
be alive with fish, hut in which the fish
were never before known to bite. There
are lots Of ponds in which fish can be seen,
but not taken. In some lakes fish may BIO
taken In the spring only, or in midsum-
NOR, giving rise to the belief that thoy do
NOT feed at other times. In places where
trolling spoons alone 0re used very often
big catches are made with files Of bass and
pickerel, and In places where only natural
baits-worms, frogs, minnows-are popu-
Lar, artificial lures arc often successful.
1t Is related Of Jefferson county village
that no one ever used flies for bass fishing
tall boy who knew about Adirondack
trout fishing came along with a seven
ounce fly rod, with other tackle to match
THAT toothpick catch flshf" said the
native fishermen. why, half pound
bass would smash 1t ali to pieces"
A couple of them were curious to know
how the thing worked and volunteered to
row the boat. They got to a big, dark pool
under cedar tree on ledge Of rocks, and
grizzly king and yellow sallie dropped
on to tho water like natural flies. What
followed was convincing to tho natives.
A black bass of over two pounds in weight
grabbed the grizzly king and was hooked
He put up good fight but at last rolled
up on his side and was dipped up with the
landing net. The natives didn't say very
much, but they did whole lot of think
ing. Light wood rods soon became popu-
lar In that region, and bigger messes OF
fish were the rule.-New York Sun.
The carefully clothed young man
moved here and there about the court,
seeking wherever possible the shade cast
by the neighboring clubhouse, for the
May sun poured its beams upon the
tennis grounds in stream of fiery heat.
From beyond the net his fair opponent
watched with i'll concealed disgust the
restful efforts of the quiet youth. He
moved his racket toward the approach
ing ball and failed to make connections
Then he sighed and turned to watch the
boy that he had hired to do tho running
for him.
II have often wondered" he said
over his shoulder to the maid, "why
they call this tennis"
They DON'T" she answered, eff
they know the game.
Incredible as it may appear, he cannot
vet see what she meant-Er

Let It Be Settled.

The New York Sun often has a blunt
way Of putting things, but no one can
say that it is wrong when it says: "The
Democrat who balances his objections
to Mckinley, the candidate of honor
and order. with his objections to Bryan,
the candidate of dishonesty, and decides
to vote for Palmer, is little bet ,r than
Indifferent to the issue. The difference
between the Mckinley vote and the
Bryan vote will determine the nature
of the honest-money victory. and sorm
the security, such as IL is 20 DE. against
future attempts at reputation. Enc
mics to Mckinley majorities are ene-
mics to the Democracy and the coed
name Of the United States"
The issue is now so plainly and s.,
faulty drawn that We do not see how
there can be any reasonable ground for
compromise. Nor will it end with next
weeks election unless those voters in
all parts of the country VINO are for
sound money and against class sgita-
tions end 1t by an overwhelming ad-
candidate. He does not expect to be
elected this year. There is every reason
to believe that he foresees the election
Of Mckinley. His only hope is to keep
the Republican vote SO low that there
will be inducement to the renewal OF
the struggle for free silver four years
hence. Any vote, therefore. which stops

patton. he began his career again In an
humble way, until his fellow citizens
elected him to the Office of magistrate.
The biographical notes published con-
cerning him enumerate the offices he
has held in this city from time to time.
In every position he filled, he exhibited
the same painstaking industry. the
same unfiinching integrity. and the
same quiet, suave and genial manner
which were characteristic Of his whole
life and of all his relations with his
fellow-men. In the halls of legislation
in Harrisburg. in the city treasurer's
office. in the postoffice and in every
position Of trust, public and private,
his record has been untarnished. This
record is the most priceless gift he has
left to posterity.
The purest treasure mortal times AFFORD
Is spotless reputation: that away.
Men are but gilded loan or painted clay.
The domestic virtues Of the deceased
can not be forgotten. His private life
has been an open book. His home was
an ideal one in every sense. The kind
husband, the affcctionate father and
the steadfast friend united in AIM.
And mingled with the tears that affec-
tion and a loving remembrance will
shed upon his grave will be found the
silent tears Of many an old soldier
