"a large as the purchaser may desire.
Prices vary according to the location OF

price is reduced on sliding scale down
to SIS per acre. With each deed goes a

Inc following account of the cavalry

Swat valley, on August II, will be read
with interest:
while the artillery were Smelling the

the turning movement of General MeikIe-

guides cavalry were waiting near the

forward When the enemy broke the guides
made their way along narrow cause

BY the time that the head of the leading
squadron had emerged on to the plain
the enemy were already more than a mile
away In full retreat toward the shelter
which they knew was to be found in the
distant hills. The pursuers started with
out moments delay, determined to ov or
take the fugitives before they had taken
refuge where cavalry would be unable
to punish them; and as they advanced
the squadron gradually strung out, the
best mounted forging ahead, and the sowars
being gradually outpaced. Captain Palmer
and Lieutenant Greaves maintained a
strong lead, closely followed by Colonel
Adams and Lord Fincastle, and as the
enemy were approached Colonel Adams
pushed on faster in order to direct Can
tain Palmer to keep to his left and take
shelter in a clump of trees which stands
some fifty yards from the foot of the hill
where the enemy had taken refuge I'm
fortunately this order was unheard by
Captain Palmer. and he and Greaves rode
straight into the small knot of tribesmen
who were still on the plain, under a very
heavy fire from those on the hill Poor
Greaves was shot almost instantly, and
fell to the ground, and Colonel Adams and

sat quietly on his horse guarding the others

up by the enemy, which now killed one of

sowars. Two horses were at once shot:

the losses during the few minutes when

AFRAID OF THE GLASS EYE.
Japanese Coolies Would Not Serve
the Unfortunate Owner of 1t.

Japanese Coolies Would Not Serve
the Unfortunate Owner of 1t.
II. B. Lewis in the Detroit Journal
In Japan, during the hot weather. every
man whose financial position enables him
t. have any Of the luxuries of life en-
ploys a servant whose duty it is to fan
his master at night. This custom has
grown up on account of the extreme heat
in summer and the great number of an
noying insects that buzz around at night
in the cities along the seacoast. While
the task of tanning a sleeping person is not
very hard, it Is so monotonous that the
coolies hired to sway the palm leaves ire
quently go to sleep, and the person who is
supposed to do the sleeping awakens with
a start as some insect drills it's bill
through the skin. For this reason 1t Is DIFF
ficult to get faithful servant who will
keep his. eyes open and his hands in mo-
ton at night while his master sleeps.
A year CT two ago an artist from San
Francisco who wore a glass eye came to
Yokohama and established himself in
little bungal, W in the outskirts of the
city. The weather was extremely warm,
and before the stranger had become set
tied he was besieged by a number of cool
les who wanted to get the job of tanning
him at night. The artist looked over the
applicants, and finally selected an old man
who brought excellent recommendations
from his last emloyer.
When 1t vas time to retire the artist took
out his glass eye. laid it on stand at his
bedside and went to bed. The old man
picked up his fan, and the San Francisco
man was soon asleep. He slept peacefully
for ar hour or two, when he was awaken
ed by q chorus of buZZing insects about
his head. He looked about him and found
that the man whom he had hired to fan
him was gone.
The next morning when he went in
search CT another coolie he was amazed to
disco over that no one would work for him.
He was looked upon as a wizard and work
er of miracles. with whom 1t was unsafe
to be alone. The old man had gone among
his friends and told how the Californian
had taken out his eye at night and laid It
on a stand. in order that he might watch
his servant at night and see that he kept
his fan in motion. The old coolies story
created such excitement that the San
Francisco man was never able to get an
other Japanese to fan him after that.

AUTHORS AND TOBACCO.

In his work entitled "Introduction a la

Lancet, to tobacco smoking from the point of
view OF men of letters. Ba zac professed q
fanatical aversion to tobacco in ali its forms,
and was consequently employed in an eu-
deavor to purge the r sgie. In his books he
invariably covers with contempt the charact
whom he portrays as smokers, ana an entire
chapter in his Treatise on Modern stimu-
lants" consists exclusively of fuiminations
against the weed and its worshipers
Next, Victor Hugo: The author of Les
Miserables' was likewise no smoker. As Theo-
dore de Banville once said: In the house of
Victor Hugo, Peer OF France, no one has been
known TO smoke In this connection an anec-
dote suggests itself. One evening in the mas

AN EARLY ..NEW WOMAN"

THE DAYS OF JEANNE D'ARC-By Mary
HartwelI Catherwood New York; I he Gen.
tury Company.
The story of the Maid of Orleans will always
be read with aviiity by large number of
readers. In these prosaic days one seizes
ravenously on facts that have about them the
romance OF legends Jeanne d'Arc's life was
romantic enough TO suit 16-year-old girl or
the most ancient of Partisan boulevardiers
and will therefore furnish story-tellers with
fine material until the end of the world.
Much will depend, of course, on the manner
of treatment. We have become more critical
of late, and demand that our novelists &C.
quaint themselves with historical facts before
weaving historical romances. The story told
by Mrs Catherwood Is the result of patient
study ard travel in France and careful revis-
ing of manuscript. The characters are well
drawn, and act like flesh and blood men and
women of the fifteenth century. The battles
are described in vivid and realistic manner
and the Pucelle herself is made to appear a
courageous and womanly crea ture instead OF
a soulless AmaZ III. The au hor's style is sim
pie and natural, and the book should greatly
add to her reputation as a graceful writer.
