CHARM OF COLOR IN AFRICA.
A Warmth and Richness of Tone One Can
Find Nowhere Else.

Though must admit that South Al
RIGA, taken as q whole, offers far less TO
attract the lover Of natural beauty than
does southern or western Europe or tho
Pacific states Of North America, there are
two kinds of charm which 1t possesses in
a high degree. One 10 that OF color. Mo-
notonous as the landscapes often are, there
Is q warmth and richness Of tone about
them which fills and delights the eye. One
sees comparatively little of that pale gray
limestone which so often gives a hard and
chilling aspect 70 the scenery OF the lower
ridges Of the Alps and Of large parts Of
the COASTS Of the Mediterranean. In AT
RIGA even the gray granite has deeper
tone than these Hmestoues, and it is fire.
quently covered by red and yellow lichens
of wonderful beauty.
The dark basalts and po.phyries which
occur In SO many places, the rich red tint
which the surface of the sandstone rocks
SO often takes under the searching sun,
give great depth OF tone to the landscape,
and, though the food Of midday sunshine
is almost overpowering, the lights Of
morning and evenin. touching the noun
tains with every shade Of rose and crimson
and violet. are indesoribably beautiful. 1t
Is In these morning and evening hours
that the charm Of the pure, dry air is spe-
oially felt Mountains 80 or 90 miles away
stand out clearly enough to enable all the
wealth Of their color and all the delicacy
Of their outlines to be perceived, and the
eye realizes, by the exquisitely fine change
of color tinge between the nearer and the
more distant ranges, the immensely and
the harmony Of the landscape.
Europeans may think that the continu-
Gus profusion OF sunlight during most OF
the year may become wearisome. l was
not long enough in the country to find it
so, and notice that those who have lived
for few years In South Africa declare
they prefer that continuous protusion to
the murky skies OF Britain or Holland or
north Germany. But even II the fino
weather which prevails for eight months
In the year be somewhat monotonous
there Is compensation in the extraordinary
brillianoy of the atmospheric effects
throughout the rainy season and especial
ly In Its first weeks.
During nine days which l spent in the
Tzansvaal at that season, when several
thunderstorns occurred almost every da
the combinations OK sunshine, Nghtni :
and cloud, and the symphonief-if the
preston may be perinitsed-of light a!
shade and color which their ehangefI.
play produced in the sky and on the earth,
were more various aud more wonderful
than whole year would furnish forth fo1
enjoyment In most parts Of Europe.

A TRUE BOHEMIAN.
A Fond Fathers Idea Of Encouraging His
Boy Does Not Answer.

He does not believe in cold formality,
or, at any ratgszhe didn't short time ago,
but OF course 'lIis views may have changed.
He liked BUhe1nianisn, he said, and even
went far us to ineulcate n little OF it into
his boy. He wished the latter to regard
him as "a companion rather than father
and Ii discipiinarian, so he taught him to
call him Henry, instead Of either papa or
father.
For time the plan seemed to work first
rate, but 1t IS barely possible that he may
regret it now.
The boy was such an apt pupil that 1t
only took him a worry short time to master
the theory of true Bohemianism and he
showed his proficiency u few nights ago.
The father was in the parlor entertaining
some visitors, and the boy was up stairs
amusing himself by letting the water run
into a stationary washstand. He put in
the plug and turned the water on full head
expecting 1t to run out the escape pipe at
the top of the basin, but the escape pipe
had gone out of active business for some
unknown reason, and before the boy real
lied that anything WAS wrong the water
was running over on to the floor
He turned it off promptly, but not until
there was quite pool of water on the
floor. He realized that something ought
to be done about that before his mother
saw it, and he naturally turned to his
companion FOR assistance.
He went to the top of the stairs, and
this is what the visitors in the parlor
heard floating down to their host.
Hi, Henry, bring "a mop up here and
don't let the old woman know anything
about it, or there'll be troublen'
There was no lack of Bohemian spirit in
the summons, but the circumstances made
it just "A tritle awkward, and it is possible

1t seems absurd to speak of hill In
the name OF the country is from our word
hollow, meaning a depression in the land,
but Captain Knight found at Groningcn
hill that was the show place of the town.

"There is fine hill in the Plantuage,"
said my companion, and from the sum
init Of 1t you will be able to See the coun-

there was such thing as a hill in Hol

around the interminable plain. Il can see
no hill"
1t is just over there, but you cannot
see it, for it is hidden by that bush. "

to be an artificial mound not 90 feet in

it and speak of it us il 1t were some huge

A GIANT RACE.
How Three StalwaFt Americana Crested a
MID Sensation In England.

Tho friends of DR. MoNickar never tire
of telling IN adventure the good doctor
had in the spring Of 1888, when he went
to Europe with the late DR.. Phillips Brooks
and Mr. Robinson, the builder OF Boston's
Trinity church. Mr. Robinson stands {
feet 2 inches in his stockings. Or. Nc
Vickar measures 6 feet inches, and DR.
Brooks exceeded feet In height. While
at Leeds they went to hear a lecturer ad
dress the workingmen on America and
Americans. ~ The lecturer stated that
Americans were as rule very short ir
stature, and seldom, il ever, rose to the
height of feet 10 inches In fact, they
were race Of pygmies. He did not know
to what cause to attribute that fact, but he
wished that he could present examples,
DR. Brooks rose to his feet and stretched
his immense frame to the utmost, as be
said;
II am an American l do not exceed
the average American in stature or il
weight, and l sincerely hope If there is any
other representative of my country present
he will vouch for the truthfulness of my
remarks"
In Il moment Mr.. Robinson arose and
said In stentorian voice:
II am an American and am feet !
inches tall and am just below the average
height OF my countrymen lfthere be any
other American here, hope he will cor
roborats me. -
BY this time the house was In a jolly
humor. Waiting until the excitement
could abate in some degree and the lecturer
regain control Of his nerves, Dr. MoNickal
arose, drew his form co Its full height and

followed with popular talk upon fungi,
considering especially such as are inju-
rious TO gardeners.
Wednesday forenoon was devoted to
a field excursion, during which Mr.. Fer
maid gave informal instruction about the
sedges, Mr.. Seymour, about the fungi, and
Mr.. Collins, OF Brown university, about
the MOSES. Many found a number OF
plants which were new TO them.
The afternoon session was opened by
a paper prepared by c. II. Knowlton, of
Pennington, upon the "Orchids of Farm
ington and Vicinity" Mr.. Knowlton
had collection of twenty orchids which
had been found in the immediate vicinity,
and he told us about them, where to look
for them, and when.
The next subject was 1.-THE Study and
Preparation OF Moses" by j. Franklin
Collins, OF Providence. 1t was a very in
teresting subject, and treated in most
interesting way, illustrated by black
board drawings. The study of Maine
MOSES presents field which is practi-
cally UNEMPLOYED, with the exception of
Mt. Desert island.
"The Preparation OF Flowering Plants
for the Herbarium," by Mr.. Fernald, Was
paper full of helpful instruction for
any one who is preparing an herbarium.
He told how to press, and the method of
mounting and arranging plants which is
used at Harvard college.
Prof. Chas. A. Davis, of Alma college,
Alma, Mich, sent a paper entitled 'The
much research and opened a subject for
investigation which is new to most of us.
The evening was devoted to social in
tercourse, the society being rendered a
reception by some OF the ladies OF Farm
ington.
Thursday about forty members OF the
society made an all day excursion in
| search Of plants; and were richly repaid.
Rare ferns and several orchids were
among our finds, and the views from the
high hills over which we drove were
many miles in extent. This evening was
made memorable by receptions at two
pleasant homes.
The meeting closed on Friday, the
morning being occupied by exploring the
low intervale at West Pennington.
The object OF this society is to promote
the study of the flora OF the State, and
any person interested in botany is eligible
to membership. In this county and in
Washington county we have field about
which very little is known, with the ex-
ception of Mt. Desert island, which has
been thoroughly and systematically
studied. Here is opportunity for work
that will count if any one is interested to
cooperate with this society.

E. Lycett of Atlanta writes that he
has In his possession Greek cameo show
ing how a hunter was fatally mutilated by
captured heron 1000 years ago. A trac-
ing OF the cameo which he sent shows a
Greek carrying heron, which must have
measured over six feet In height, by one
leg over his shoulder.
The bird had probably been stunned by
the cudgel which the man carried. On re
covering the bird found itself being car

vigor as to kill him at the first blow. The

He would not with a peremptory tone,
Assert the nose upon his face his own.
-Cowper.
And how could he If that npoe were
fashioned of celluloid, gold, platinum or
even basor metal? Building nose"
sounds queer and yet that Is Just what
surgeons are deiHg almost every day. Ev-
cry surgeon who possesses mechanical
ability enough to be called a PLASTIC sur
geon' will take contract for building a
pose.
The operator, in the case of man the
bony portion Of whose nose has been de-
stroyed, first removes the dead bone until
he finds healthy bone.
He is then ready to proceed with the
building. Holes are drilled into the sound
bone for the reception of the metallic
framework which is to support the flesh
that will give the nose the appearance of
having its naturally bony and cartilage
nous support
Probably the most famous case of nose
building Is that OF the late DIR. Thomas
Sabine. The operation was performed at
Bellevue hospital The patient's nose had
been entirely destroyed by n disease called
lupus.
The surgeon transplsnted the middle
hhSoi VI wv l'NNAFht y iihilh W EtplGAcb lDt
nose. To the house surgeon fell the task
of destroying the nall. For this he used
powerful acid. In relating his experience
recently be said that he supposed his work
had proved successful, but after tta finger
had been transplanted he found that the
nail was inclined to grow again, aud he
was Obliged to use the acid repeatedly be-
fore it was finally destroyed
There are surgical records Of other SINH
lar cases in many of which the nail had
grown on the finger nose.''
In ordinary cases where only the bony
portion of the nose has been destroyed eel
luloid is said to prove most satisfactory,
as 1t Is better borne in living tissues than
any other substance.
A case was recently shown at the Acad
envy of Medicine. The patient was q
young man whose nasal bones had been
destroyed through disease. The skin had
fallen into the cavity.
The shape OF the nose was restored by
an aluminium tripod. The surgeon drilled
q hole in the frontal bone FOR the reception
Of one branch Of the apparatus, while the
other branches fitted into the holes which
had been drilled In the upper jawbone
To the unframed eye the nose had every
appearance of being normal.-J +. Whit
