"a priceless thing is hobby. The
daily tasks by which hosts of women
support life are fayorless, barren, al
most hopeless. To such ones a hobby
may offer the dearest hopes Of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily
task; 1t will at any rate serve to enter
tain and give point and flavor to an
otherwise blank existence" is the posi-
ton taken by Carrie Z. Garrett dis.

ion.
Hobbies have the power to concen,
trate and absorb the scattered energies
which might otherwise be expended In
purposeless filrtations, building super
fluous bonnets, reading cheap sensa
tions, gossiping away precious mo-
ments, picking out our friends foibles.
dissecting our own emotions, and wish
ing vaguely for everything which is at
talnable. If the hobby did nothing else
but prevent these frivolities 1t would
be boon to humanity.
"Man found out the value of hobbies

These facts are from an old Scotch
paper published In l84S;
.'The Inhabitants Of the larger
islands OF the West Indies, st. Do
mingo, Cuba and Porto Rico were In
dolent but mild in disposition. fond OF
dancing and other games, governed BY
kings. called caciques. They had an
established priesthood, believed in the
existence OF deity and future state
OF rewards and punishments. These
simple people showed great kindness
to Columbus and his companions while
visiting their islands, and observing
the Spaniards' love for gold gave them
all they possessed.
"a remarkable speech has been pre-
served which an old man, native Of
Cuba addressed to Columbus when
presenting him with basket OF fruit.
The speech shows the quiet disposition
OF the people and their profound vener'
alton for their white visitors.

DEVELOPMENT ,f the Transvaai.

In 1892 the main trunk line from
Cape Town was pushed forward from
its then northern terminus to Johannes
burg. The distance from Cape Town
to johannesburg by rail is lob miles
In 1894 the road was completed from
Delagoa Bay, port IN Portuguese ter
rltory on the southeast coast Of Africa
to johannesburg distance OF 81
miles. The third road reached Jolan
nesburg a year later, from Durham, Z
port in the British colony Of Natal, dis
tant 483 miles.
From 23,000 ounces of gold In 1887
the annual output has risen to 3,000,00t
ounces In 1897, giving the Transyaa
the second place in the worlds golt
production. There is no doubt that th'
present output Of the country Will rap
idly Increase; and probably within /
few years, Notwithstanding the increas
ed output Of other countries, tn
Transvaal will rank first as a gold pro

Frank Keller, who has been the Southern

The Southern Pacific's competition with
the Valley road from Kern City north
has led it to charge less in proportion for
