Miss Emily V. Mason, an aunt of
General Fitzhugh Lee, in spite of her
eighty four years, is preparing for a
trip to Europe, which will be her
forty third voyage to the other side.
During the Civil War Miss Lee de-
voted herself to hospital work, and
she would frequently soothe the boys
in gray with the assurance that they
died she would take care of their
children. AS a consequence thirty
orphans were sent by express to her
at Baltimore from the South after the
war, two of whom, found among the
ruins of Columbia, and scarcely more
than babies, were ignorant of their
own names. With the assistance of
friends, and the proceeds of the sale
of her collected poems (the first edi-
ton of which brought her 10000, she
has succeeded in maintaining and
educating these orphans, all of whom,
with one exception, are still living
and are self-supporting. Her first
trip to Europe was made in the year
1868.

from the tap at night, put a piece of
white sugar into it, and place it on

MASTER SOMETHING THOR
OUGHLY.

| In this age of concentrated activity
the man or woman who has to earn
his or her living and has not mastered
trade or business is at serious dis
advantage. Concentration and spe
cialization seem to be the motto OF
every business man. All lines of work
are specialized in order that each
at most, some few things we'll and
quickly. This enables the business
man to get the greatest possible
number of helpers; and furnishes
barely living wages to the unskilled
many and good salaries to the expert
few.
Be one of the expert few. Learn a
good trade, master some business
thoroughly; not single detail of it.
II your work is to be on shoes, under
stand the whole shoe business. Do
not be content to run a machine that
simply sews up the seams. Know
how the whole shoe is made aud all
about the leather that goes into the
shoe trade; and the great shoe man
ufacturers will need you to superin-
tend the hundreds who have stuck to
their "piece work." and will need you
bad enough to pay you a good sal
airy.
You may have been born to wealth,
but wealth sometimes takes to itself
wings. Therefore, whatever may be
your birth or position in life, learn a
trade, a whole trade, not part of
one. Know some business thorough
ly, so thoroughly that, should you
have to depend on it for livelihood,
your knowledge will be valuable
enough to secure a position quickly
and at good salary.
The great mass of workers have no
thorough knowledge Of their trades
or business. They know how to do a
single detail of the work; they can
drive the nails, it may be, into the
heel of the shoe, or write entries
swiftly and correctly IN the ledger or
day book; but they do not know how
to make whole shoes or how to man
age bank. The business tendency
of the age appears to be to demand
the doing of some one little thing ex
tremely we'll, and to pay extremely
little wages for the doing Of it. Be-
ware of this tendency. It is--narrow
ing, stultifying, to both brain and
body. In time it units the worker
for other labor; so that, if middle
aged man who has done a certain
kind of piece work all his life is
thrown out of employment, he is prac-
ideally helpless. The mind has become
grooved, and the wheels refuse to
run only in their accustomed direc-
ion.
The few who climb out of this rut,
Who master not one but all the de-
.ails of busine IS, who thoroughly |
their trade, are the ones
Who climb up to success.
Learn a trade, whole trade or bus /
ness. Do not be content with the /
mastery Of a single detail; master all
he details; grow up and into your
business, and your services will never
AVE occasion to go a begging.

THE TRUE CURE OF OBESITY.

While general exercise is valuable
it is not alone sufficient to aid those
who are too stout, particularly those
annoyed by embonpoint, but specific
motions are necessary, says Horper's
Bazaar. Here is a simple exercise
which works wonders. It must be
performed with the corsets and long
skirts off. Assume a perfectly up
right position-that is, put the heels
together, the arms by the side and
the head high, and the spine curved
to throw the chest out and the hips
back.
Then touch the floor in front of the
feet with the finger tips without
bending the knees. Rise to the
standing position, and repeat fifteen
times. If there is much fatigue, raise
the arms over the head before de-
scending, to sooth and stimulate the
nerves of the back. This simple ex-
ercise has been known to reduce the
weight twenty pounds in three
months, the greatest effect being over
the abdomen.
At first there will be difficulty in
reaching the floor without bending
the knees, but this can be overcome
by persistent effort, which adds inter-
est to what might seem monotonous
and meaningless. Drop the arms,
and by series of and down mo-
tions, like pumping, the tense mus
cles of back and thigh will relent.
and the hands get nearer the floor.
At the end of a week the difficulty
should be overcome, and suppleness
gained.
When it comes to diet for obesity.
the rules are so much like those for
dyspepsia and govt that invalidism is
suggested. Primarily the ban goes
out against that wicked trio of sweets,
fats and starches. All are tabooed,
and that means diet SO monotonons-
ly simple that many one lapses into
her former state of indulgence from
WEAKNESS.
There can be no candy, no enticing
drinks from the soda water fountain,
no sugar in coffee or tea, (although
saccharine can be used) no desserts;
nor can there be anything fried, nor
mayonnaiae, nor creamy things, nor
farinaceous. Vegetables that grow
below ground-plebeian vegetables,
like potatoes and beets-must be left
out Of this Spartan diet, and butter is
forbidden.
What is there left? Why, this: a
cup Of hot water an hour before
meals, none with food; fresh meats
except portland pulled bread, with
some Indulgence in vegetables and
fruits. This, of course, is severe, but
it is only necessary for short time,
and surely will lower the weight.
After a sufficient number Of pounds
have vanished into thin air, more
generous diet should gradually be
adopted.

TEA CARAVANS FROM CHINA
The Enormous Business That Is Done
on the Caravan Route
Through Siberia.

The newspaper published in Tomsk,
called the Siberian Latest News, gives
some very curious details about the
Russian tea caravans that transport
thousands of tons of tea from China
and distribute it in various parts of ST.
IBERIA and Russia. During the first 20
daysof January last 19, 900 sleighs laden
with tea passed through the city of
Tomsk. The ordinary size of these tea
caravans is from so to 10 sleighs.
though sometimes from 200 to 300 are
included in one caravan. The average
load is five bales, each weighing from 20
to 100 pounds.
Five sledges are fastened together
drawn by one horse, and one man at
tends to the detachment. To the rear
sledge of each group are tied a bundle
of hay and measure of oats, so that
the horses may feed during the march.
This facilitates progress, for the cara
van does not need to halt for the pur-
pose of batting the horses. As the horse
in front, however, does not have any
thing to eat before him his place in the
caravan must be changed occasionally
to give him an opportunity to eat his
lunch.
The caravans travel night and day.
The only halts during the "a hours are
in the villages where the weary horses
are exchanged for fresh animals. The
drivers sleep on the sledges, while trav-
cling, in spite of the severe cold.

POWER FROM A DISTANCE.
Notable Electric Transmission
Plant in Existence.

To-day the most notable transmits
sion plant in existence, says Casters
Magazine, is that of the Southern Cali
fornia Power company, designed to
carry 10000 horsepower at $4,000 volts
over SO miles of line from the power
house to the town of Los Angeles. The
Southern California power house is sit
uated at the base of the San Bernardino
mountains, on the Santa Ana river, and
the power water intake is at the june
ton of Bear creek and the Santa Ana
river, about seven miles below the IA
nous Bear creek dam. The water in
this river, like all waters in southern
California, is owned by water COM
panies, and as soon as 1t reaches the
valley it is led off in irrigation bitches
in different directions. Under these
conditions, any power company using
the water must not interrupt the flow,
and the regulation of the water wheels,
which are used, must be by DETECTING
nozzles. The water is carried about 2H.
miles, so per cent. of which is through
tunnels, and the rest of the canal is
open masonry and wooden fumes. The
elevation at the intake is 1922 feet
above sea level, and that of the power
house 2,670 feet. The difference, less
the grade of the canal, gives static
head of 1856 feet on the wheels.

OATH OF THE BOERS.
Burghers Of the Transvaal in
Peace and War.

This peculiar solemn pledge was sub

April IL, 1879, Wonderfontein, in the
Transvaal, and is given as reproduced
in the Natal Witness:
"In the presence of Almighty God,
the Searcher of Hearts, and praying for
His gracious assistance and mercy, we,
burghers of the South African repub-
lie, have solemnly agreed for us and our
children to unite in holy covenant,
which we confirm with solemn oath.
1t rs now 40 years ago since our fathers
left the Cape Colony to become a free
and independent people. These 40
years were 40 years of sorrow and suf-
fering. We have founded Natal, the
Orange Free State and the South At
rican republic (TransvaaD, and three
times has the English government
trampled on our liberty, and our flag,
baptized with the blood and tears of our
fathers, has been pulled down. Ash a
thief in the night has our free republic
been stolen from US. We cannot suffer
this, and we may not. 1t is the will of
God that the unity of our fathers and
our love to our children should oblige US
to deliver unto our children, unblem-
ished, the heritage of our fathers. 1t il
for this reason that we here unite and
give each other the hand as men and
brethren, solemnly promising to be
faithful to our country and people, and,
looking unto God, to work together un-
| to death for the restoration of the lib
erty of our republic. So truly help US,
