THE BOER is CLEVER.
Keen and Crafty in Business as in
Diplomacy.

Keen and Crafty in Business as in
Diplomacy.
Little attention is paid to this side of
the question, because there is a COM
plete misconception of the Boer char
acter, as of the character of President
Kruger, abroad in England, says the
Fortnightly Review. The supposed
Arcadian simplicity of the TransvaaI
Beers is one of those popular miscon-
ceptions which are astonishing to those
Of us who really know the TransvaaI
and its people. They are, in truth,
as keen and crafty as men of business
as they are as diplomatists. As long
ago as the time of the annexation of
the Transvaal this was apparent
enough in the rough Boer farmers. 1t
was, for instance, matter of common
talk in the Transvaal that Hans Eras-
mus made big fortune by buying up
the Transvaal greenbacks, valued at
half crown at the time of the annex
alton, and selling them at a sovereign
when the British government redeemed
them, as 1t did, at their full value.
The operations of members of Presi-
dent Krueger's government in matters
of various kinds display the same not
altogether Arcadian knowledge of the
value of money. But perhaps the best
proof Of the real character of the Boer
is a brief survey of the way in which
England has come out of it's dealings
with these innocent Arcadians. The
Beers were unable to cope with Soco-
cent and were in danger of annihila-
ton at the hands of the formidable
Zulu army of Cetewayo. England at
the expense of much money and many
men delivered the Beers. Then the
Transvaal state was bankrupt Git had
but 12s Cd in the treasury, and the
greenback of the nominal value of 2Os
was worth half CROWN, when it was
taken over by England and when it was
given back ian abandonment of our re-
sponsibility to the English population
our rule had raised the income to
f15O,000 a year.

Skirt Dancer Annoyed Her.

A small object upon the scarf of a
young man in the Sixth avenue car
happened to attract the eye of a sym
pathetic and near-sighted old lady seat
cd opposite. The small object seemed
at the first glance to be gaudy beetle
impaled upon a pin and kicking fran
tically to release himself. The old lady
arose from her seat with the evident
intention Of berating the youth, whom
she supposed, like the late Bill Nye's
dog, was a collector Of insects, for his
cruelty Her Indignation turned to
horror, however, when she discovered
that the beetle was in reality a tiny
silver skirt dancer, kicking her dimin--
utive foot into the air in a most life
like manner. The skirt dancer is a
novelty in the way of scarf pins. One
Of her legs is a trifie more rigid than it
really ought to be, but the other is ac-
tive enough for both. There is a pneu-
matte arrangement within the figure
which is connected by means Of a con-
cealed rubber tube with a smaller rub
Der ball carried in the pocket of the
wearer. Like Loie Fuller, you have to
reach into your pocket to see her dance.
1t is only necessary to apply a little
pressure to the bulb in the pocket and
the skirt dancers pedal extremity de-
scribes arcs in the air with precision
enough to destroy tile at every kick.
You press the bulb, she docs turn"
The chief advantage of the smaller sill
yer Loie over the other kind lies in the
fact that she is perfectly obedient to
the stage managers wishes, and all her
kicking is confined to her own line of
business.-New York Herald.

A little wandering, homeless, COM
mon dog, lodging eyergane it met on
the street lest blow shbuld be aimed
at 1t, used to nothing hut kicks and
curses from the great animal called
man, has at last shown it's worth in a
way that will assure it hereafter a per-
manent home among friends, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Louis
Carr, painter, was painting the rear
OF a vacant house belonging to L. Store,
in Clay street, between Green and JEFF
ferson streets, one day recently. He
was far up the ladder, just under the
roof, and painting vigorously to finish
up by noon. Rather than go all the
way down to move the ladder to an
other place he was reaching far out
and painting. Suddenly he discovered
that the ladder was slipping, and, hav-
ing no time to descend, he caught the
caves of the house with his hands
The ladder slipped from under his feet
and fell to the ground, leaving him
helpless, hanging about thirty-five feet
in mid-air. He called loudly for help
time and again, but no one heard the
cries, and being at the rear of the house
could not be seen. The little dog heard
him, however. and sneaked around the
house to see what was up. He saw
there was a great deal up and began to
bark loudly. AS he would sit beneath
Carr his banks would ring out sharply
for a moment and then end with q
long, passionate howl. He would then
run around the house toward the Clay
street police station, which is directly
across the street, give a few sharp
barks there and run again to his old
position under the dangling man, where
ne would send out his plaintive appeal
more desperately than before. This at
tracted the attention of the police, and,
although not understanding dog Ian
guase, they easily guessed there was
something wrong. Accordingly several
of them ran over to the house, and
Patrolman Frank Haffner opened the
back gate. They took in the situation,
and the ladder was soon under the
mans feet, so he descended with safety.
Carr said that he had been hanging
from the caves for about ten minutes,
and had not help arrived when it did
he would surely have fallen from sheer
exhaustion. He declares he will keep
and raise the dog with care and ten
derness and hereafter if anyone wants
a good fight on his hands all he will
have to do will be to hit Carr's dog.

Origin of the Steam Whistle.

1t is told that the locomotive whistle
was invented because of the destruc-
ton of a load of eggs. When loco
motives were first built the country
roads were for the most part crossed
at grade and the engine driver had no
way of giving warning of his approach
except by blowing a tin horn. The
horn, it may be imagined, was far from
being sufficient warning. One day in
the year 1888 a farmer of Thornton
was crossing the railroad track on one
of the country roads with a great load
of eggs and butter. Just as he came
out upon the track a train approached.
The engine man blew his horn Justify,
but the farmer did not hear it. Eighty
dozen Of eggs and fifty pounds of but

self, according to hunters around Grant,
N. \. They maintain their opinion by
relating various traits OF the cats SUI
pertority az a hunter. One night late
In August the yellow cat gained spe-
cial notOriety in the region around
Grant. From Prospect to Wilmart,
from Wheelertown to Poland, there
wasn't an observer of nature but had
heard of and wondered at the yellow
cats doings. Old Hi Hubbard put out
lot Of corn last year near the gully
on his farm. Coons got to resorting to
the corn in late August, and one night
the yellow cat went there, too, likely
thinking to find a partridge sleeping
among the stalks low down or a small
bird or two. The yellow cat didn't find
the birds, but 1t did find a black coon,
and it liked the black coon uncommon
ly well. The two got acquainted, just
as wolf or coyote sometimes gets to
know a shepherd dog. The two be-
came great friends. They went along
the rows Of corn hills together, as their
tracks in the sand showed, and the cat
would sit on its launches while the
coon pulled down a fat ear. After a
time the cat and coon wandered of
across the field toward Zephyr Heights
Swamp and in the road stopped. Bert
Jones was coming along the road just
then. He had been up to Northwood
on an errand which wasn't anybody's
business, and he had his dog along.
The dog is a fighter from bulldog and
Dear-tracking stock. 1t was believed
that it could whip even Phil Perry's
hghting dog, which once cleaned out
wildcat. Jones set his dog at the
cat and coon and away it went with a
yelptng bark that made old Hi Hub
bard come to the window. The dog got
to the cat and the coon quickly, but it
wasn't a circumstance to the way 1t
got away from them, once 1t broke
loose. Coone are mighty good fighters,
and lean yellow cats are in this way
quite as good as coons. The two could
have whipped whole pack of such
dogs as Jones'. The cat got onto the
dogs back and stretched out it's hind
legs with the claws ral1ing the dogs
hide. That was when the dog tried TO
bite the coon. When the dog turned
on the cat, the coon set its teeth into
the dogs tail, and the tail is crooked
now. The row did not last long-only
while Jones was running up to Join in
the mess. Then the dog broke away
from the cat and ran a rod with the
coon hanging on, with all four legs
stiff, and ploughing up the sand of the
road. The dog got away and kept go
ing, while the two friendly beasts kept
on toward the swamp.-New York Sun.

An Invention in sea-slgnalllng.

An Invention In Safeguarding.
An Amsterdam correspondent of the
Westminster Gazette writes: It looks
as If we dull Dutchmen are upon the
point of giving to the world a priceless
invention, the means by which ships at
sea may be on speaking terms under
all circumstances, or have the power
to communicate with the shore. Some
weeks since people living on the out
skirts of the town, returning home in
the dark hours of the evening were
scared by very peculiar unearthly
sounds, something akin to the deep,
penetrating scream of steamers syren
In the mist, although there was NO
water near to speak of, and consequent
ly no possibility of a steamer. The rid
die is now solved. 1t has been found
possible to produce a constant, unvary-
ing sound which may
~ Be heard at a distance of at least
five miles against a stir breeze.
(2) Is Of such a nature and quality
that it is quite easy to determine to a
nicely the direction from which it
comes.
90 Is produced by an instrument
which can be moved about without al
tering the sound-that is, in the same
manner as an electric searchlight
az Last, not least, that parts of the
instrument may be differently tuned,
which makes it possible to give con-
slant alternative signals which may be
codified, so that a conversation may be
kept up.
1t appears that the inventors some
weeks since made trials in the dark,
and, Of course, in lonely, outlying
places in the neighborhood, and SO pro-
duced the ghostly noises aforesaid.
Competent persons are of opinion that
the thing really is great success. The
Zealand Company has resolved to give
the invention a fair trial, and the
world may soon hear more of It, It
is quite clear that If the steamer which
met the Drummond Castle had DOS
sessed such an instrument and its sig
mails could have been understood by
the Drummond's officers, the disaster
might not have occurred.
