Earliest Known Love Story.

In garden of tropical beauty two lovers
stood and under tho soft influence of the
moon breathcd out their tender love in
words of sweet and soulful sound. The
man all alteration and devotion swore.
The woman all fidelity promised. And
yet with the very intensity of her love she
doubted and fain would ask question to
still the jealous beating Of her heart. With
white arms twined about his neck and
gazing into his souls depths, in tremulous
tones she murmured, Dearest, tell me
true, am your first and only lover" Then
her eyes dropped for very fear, but raised
with proud brightness as he sworc by all
the stars in heaven, by all the angelic host,
by all the cycles of eternity, never, never
before had he brcathed word of love TO wo.

that the lover spoke the truth, and she
knew 1t for fact for the man was

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TELESCOPE.
The Wonderful Powers of Vision OF n
Tribe of African Bushmen.

There is race of men who can see rs
far with the naked eye as an ordinary man
can with telescope. Every man his
own telescope" might be applied with
propriety to these fortunate persons.
They live in a wild state in the south of
Africa, among the tribes or bush men.
The name "bushmen' is an Anglicism of
the Dutch word ''bjoseman, meaning
"man of the woods"
These human telescopes have derived
sheir extraordinary power of vision, ac.
cording to Mr.. Herbert Spencer, through
necessity. If it were not for this they
must have long ago become extinct. They
are remarkably small in stature for wild
men, and they offer an easy prey for tho
large, fierce beasts that infest certain parts
OF southern Africa. And on account of
their diminutive size they are not able to
fight on equal terms with their warlike
and larger proportional neighbors Tray.
elers in tho region of the long sighted
bushmen have reported some truly re-
markable fcats with the eyes One day
while European was walking in com
pany with n friendly bushman the latter
suddenly stopped, and, pointing ahead in
some alarm, exclaimed:
"a lion!'
The white man stared until his eyes
ached, but no could mako out nothing.
Thinking that the native must have made
mistake, he insisted on going forward,
though his companion urged him to re-
treat. Whom they had advanced n little
farther, the Bushman again came to ~
halt and absolutely refused to 90 on an
other step, for, rs no explained, he could
distinguish not only n lion, but also a
number of cubs. 1t would bo dangerous,
ne said, to tamper with lioness while
nursing her little ones.
The European, however, still unable to
sec lion, much less tho cubs, pushed on
boldly. When no had advanced a Quarter
of mile he saw an object moving SLOWLY
along In the distance at tho point to which
the bushman had directed his gaze Still
doubling that human being could pos.
sess such marvellous power of vision, he
approached nearer and finally distin-
guished tho form of lionoss making lei.
urely for "a line of forest.
The limit of q mans power of vision Is
established by necessity. If our existence
depended on our ability to sec twice as far
as we do, this additional power would be
acquired by practice Deerslaycr of Ieath
er Stocking" fame surprised every one by
his long sightedness Probably he could
sec farther than these bushmen, but he

an outdoor life, give their eyes practice al
