Nature "makes ali things beautiful
in their time" Every one of life's
seasonss when life moves on Nature's
lines, has its own charm and beauty.
Many women dread that period when
they must experience change of lite.
They fear that lace and form may SUIT
fer by the change, and that they may
fail to please those whom they love.

single allegiance, were wholly respon-
sible for THE. When the British
Government began to remonstrate
last spring, the Beers showed every
disposition to yield in all franchise
matters except as 10 permitting man
to be at once citizen of the Trans-
vaal and citizen of the British En-
pire. Under the convention Of 1884
Great Britain abrogated whatever
claim she might formerly have pos
sessed to right to interfere with the
public's suffrage regulations.
@. Do the outlsnders pay most Of
the taxes2
A. They do--probably about sew
en-tenths of the whole revenue of The
republic. The reason is the mines are
the richest, indeed the only rich part
of the Trsnsvaal's natural resources.
The Beers believe that it is just that
the mines should bear as much of the
expenses OF Government as can possi-
bly, be put upon them. The mine
are owned almost altogether by the
Outlanders. But these mines are so
rich that these taxes do not in the
least interfere with their paying fabu-
lous dividends. The mines and
mining interests are taxed not
because thew are owned by foreigners
but because they are best able to pay.
@. Have not the Beers refused
municipal rights of Johannesburg, al
though it is large cityp
A. They have. johannesburg is
still regulated az it was when 1t was
rough mining camp-that lie, as it
was ten years ago. The people of
johannesburg are for the most part
British citizens, aud their constant
expressions of the desire to see the
Tranvaal annexed to Great Britain,
their frequent plots to bring
about the overthrow of the republic,
their undenied hostility to the repub-
lie, have not tended to lessen the
ancient and we'll founded suspicious
and fears of England and Englishmen
that constitute the largest element in
The Boer character next TO religion
and pride of race.
@. Did not the Beers themselves
ask to be annexed to Great Britain
some years ago?
A. They did not. A few years
after gold was discoveLed in quantity
in these territories--thst is, 1871
Great Britain took advantage of the
of terribla race war, white |
against black, which she herself had
and annexed the Tran
svaal. So shameless WAS the proceed
ing that when the Beers revolled in
1880 Great Britain restored the re-
public not because her forces were
defeated in few little battles but in
spite of those humiliations, and solely
because Mr.. Gladstone made con-
science issue in England and aroused |
the moral sense of the English people.
The treaty of 1881 was followed by /
the convention of 1884, in which
Great Baitain practic ally undid the
crime olS77. Two years later, in 1886
came the great discovery of gold and
diamonds in the Boer territories
Since that time, under the direction
Of Cecil Rhodes, Great Britain hs-
been trying to undo her deeds of re-
pentance.

IN SEOUL.
CLARENCE GREATHOUsE DEAD.
End of a Kentuckian's Romantic
Career Ia Seoul, Corea.

According to advices from the ORR
ent, brought by the steamship Emp
ress of China, Clarence p. Greenhouse,
who was Consul General of the Uni
ted States Kangaws, Japan, from 1886
to 1889, died at Seoul, October 81. at
the time OF his death Mr.. Greenhouse
was adviser to the Corean Govern
ment, position which he held with
out interruption during his ten years
residence in >Corea.
He was Kentuckian by birth, and
the story of his life, published in
Sundays Courier.Journal reads like a
romance.
. Thirty years ago Clarence Great
house was practicing law and running
country newspaper at Versailles,
Ky. He was a young man of fine
natural ability and brilliant attain
ments. Mr.. Greathouse was born on
farm about two miles south of Yer
sailles in the year 1S43. His father,
DR.. Ridgeley Greenhouse, came to
Woodford from Shelbyvile, KY, and
was a noted physician. His mother
was Mary Elizabeth Hancock, of this
county. Dr.. Greenhouses health fail
ing, he abandoned the practice of med
icine and became Clerk of the Wood
ford Circuit Court. His nephew,
Lloyd Tevis, of Shelbyville, then a
poor young man, was taken in as q
Deputy Clerk. Some years later
when Lloyd Tevis had become a gold
king in California, he repaid DR..
athouse's kindness in giving him
start by helpiug to establish his son,
Clarence, in his profession in San
Francisco.
While in Washington on business
before the Supreme Court during the
first Cleveland administration, Mr..
GreathOuse was offered the post OF
Consul General at Yokohama. Japan,
and accepted. He wa. very efficient
and business-li Consul, and made
such fine record that he was con-
tiuued in Office under the Harrison
administi alton until his resignation.
During his service as Consul he had
50 greatly assisted Mixing, the King
OF Cores, bv giving him helpful adj
vice that the King became Of the
opinion that he could not conduct the
affairs of his Government without
Greathouse and besought him to &C
cept the created Office of "Ho-Pang,'
which would correspond in civilized
monarchies to the position of Prime
Minister.
Mr.. Greathouse resigned his con-
sulate to accept the flee rendered by
the Coresn King, and went to Seoul
to live.
His career in that country was one
of constant excitement, and many
ZINES his head was in great jeopardy.
During the violent disturbances in
Corea, in 1894, which eliminated in
the assas sination OF the Queen in her
chamber in the palace by mob, Mr..
GreathOuse was the Kings right hand

A Hold Over.

The Court of Appeals has decided
that Judge II. G. Eversole was not le-
gally elected Crcnit Judge of the
Twenty-seventh judicial District in
November, 1898, to succeed Judge A.
II. Clark, deceased, snd that Judge
w. L. Brown, who was appointed by
Governor Bradley to serve till the
next regular election, was entitled to
hold over till the election of 1899,
which was the first election held at
which State, county, city or district
officers were to be elected. The
question was not raised this year till
too late to pat any candidates on the
ballots at the recent election, so it
seems Judge Brown will hold on for
two } ears more.

PHYSICAL STRENGTH,
In Man Ii Reaches Its Greatest Deyei-
opment Between the 3Oth and
3lst Years.

The muscles, in common with all NJ
organs of the body, have their stages OF
development and decline, says the
Strand Magazine. Our physical
strength increases up to a certain age
and then decreases. Tests of the
strength of several thousands of people
have been made by means of a dyna-
mometer strength m%easurer), and the
following are given as the average Zig
uies for the white race:
The lifting power of a youth Of II
years is $50 pounds. In his twentieth
year this increases to 800 pounds, and in
the thirtieth and thirty-tirst years 1t
reaches its height, $50 pounds. At the
end of the th%irty-frst year III.
strength begins to decline, very slowly
at first.
BY the fortleth year 1t has decreased
eight pounds, and this d|iminution con.
tinues at a slightly increased rate until
the fiftieth year is reached, when the
figure is 800 pounds.
After this period the strength falls
more and more rapidly, until the weak
ness OF old age is reached. 1t is not DOS
sible to give accurate statistics of the
decline of strength after the iftieth
year, as it varies to a large extent in
different individuals.
