PERSONAL AND IMpERSoNAL

The king Of Greece delights in taking
recreation in the fields. He can pillow,
cut and bind corn, milk cows, and, in
short, could at a pinch keep u farm go
ing single-handed.
Mrs, Joseph II. Choate, in a London
interview, says that her husbands chief
recreation is reading. She herself
paints both in oils and water colors.
Much of her work is said to be excellent.
Mrs. c. W, Goodlander, wife of the
mayor of Fort Scott, Kan, is proving a
great help to her husband in relieving
the city's poor. She makes personal
visits to all asking help and inquiries
into every case.
Justice Shiras, of the supreme court,
wrote a letter of advice to a young law
yer the other day, in the course of which
he said: 'Above all, deserve and keep
the confidence of your clients. You will
find this your best capital"
1t is said of an English judge that in
filming a man and his wife for scorching,
he assessed the woman twice as much
as the man, because she was two lengths
in the lead. 1t made little difference, as
the man had TO settle for both.
Ex-Gov. Yarmouth, the first north.
ern governor of Louisiana, has lived
down the bitter unpopularity which at
one time nearly cost him his life and is
now one of the leading sugar planters
of the state and q most successful law
yer.
Rev. ]. Augustus Wix, vicar of
Quethiock, Liskeard, Cornwall, has hit
upon IA novel method of obtaining funds
for church purposes, it being none
other than the making and selling OF
walking-sticks. His church needs a
new organ, and in order to obtain the
necessary funds, the vicar spends his
spare time in making walking-sticks,
and himself offers them for sale in the
market-place.
Piny Margal, who surprised the Span

little man, who has devoted his life t.

CHANGES TO COME.
~portation In the Twentieth
Century.

Between 1900 and 1000 the march Of
change was still more rapid, and be-
tween 1000 and 2100 the continually ac-
celebrated progress of human inven-
ton made the reign of Victoria the
Good seem at last an almost incredible
vision of idyllic tranquil days.
By the year 1000 railways and roads
had vanished altogether. The railways,
robbed of their rails, had become weedy
ridges and bitches upon the face of the
world; the old roads, strange, barbaric
tracts OF flint and soil, hammered by
hand or rolled by rough iron rollers,
strewn with miscellaneous filth, and
cut by iron hoofs and wheels into ruts
and puddles often many inches deep,
had been replaced by patent tracks
made of a substance called Eadhamite.
When Eadham discovered the sub
stance he probably thought Of it as a
mere cheap substance for india rubber;
it cost a few shillings a ton. But you
can never tell all an invention will do.
1t was the genius Of a mar named
Warming that pointed to the POSSIBLE
ity of using it, not only for the tires of
wheels, but as a road substance, and
who organized the enormous network
of public ways that speedily covered the
world,
These public ways were made with
longitudinal divisions, On the outer
on either side went foot cyclists and
conyeyances travelling at less speed
than % miles an hour; In the middle.
motors capable of speed up TO 100, and
the inner Warming lin the face of enor
nous ridicule) reserved for vehicle:
travelling at speeds of 100 miles An houi
and upward.
For ten years his inner ways were va
cant. Before he died they were the
most crowded of all, and fast, light
f~rameworks, hurled along them stead
lily toward 200 miles an hour. And by
the time this revolution was accom-
plished II parallel revolution had trans
formed the ever-growing cities. BE

times vanished. Electric heating re

EASE AND DISEASE.
A Short Lesson on the Meaning of a
EamiIiar Word.

Disease Is the opposite Of ease. Webster
defines disease as slack OF ease, uneasiness
trouble, vexstion, ~disquiet." 1t is a con
dillon due to some arrangement to the
physical organism. A vast majority o.
the "dis. lea from which people suffer IL
due to impure blood. Disease OF this kind
is cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla which
puriHes enriches and v~itslizes the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla cares scrofuls, sal
rhuem, pimples and all eruptions. II
tones the stomach and ere ates a gooC
appetite, and 1t gives vigor and vitality tc
the whole body. 1t reverses the condition
OF things, giving health, comfort ant

JOUBERT PLANS CAMPAIGN.
Commander-in-Chief of the Beers
Is Ready for War.
WILL MARCH ON KIMBERLY;
He Expects to Capture That Important
Center at Once and Go On to Cape
Town-Dutch Settlers In South Africa
VIII Join Him.

London, June 20.-The st. James
Gazette claims to have received from
an absolutely reliable source at Pre-
toria, capital of the Transvaal, the plan
Of campaign which will be followed by
Gen. Joubert, commander in chief Of
the beers, in the event of war between
the Transvaal and Great Britain.
Gen. Joubert's force, it appears, will
consist of 10000 men, armed with
Mauser rifles, in addition to forty-six
quick-firing guns and 1000 artillery
men, most of them drawn from the
German and Dutch armies.
With these troops and help expected
from the Orange Free State, Joubert
expects to take the offensive imme-
diately after the declaration of war,
enter the Orange Free State and march
on Kimberley, the British diamond
mining center in West Griqualand,
which forms four of the seventy di-
visions of Cape Colony. Kimberley is
about 100 miles northwest of Bloemfon-
tein.
III NI Ol JOuDNAN
will use the railroad as far as avail
able; expects to capture the town with
slight loss and blow up De Beers dia-
mond mine. Simultaneously it is
added, the railroad from Cape Town
to Bulawayo will be destroyed by Boer
sympathizers and agents in Cape Col
ony, who will also destroy the Port
Elizabeth-Pretoria line, south of
Bloemfontein, to prevent British
troops from using it.
Finally, Immediately after Kimber-
ley is captured, Gen. Joubert will ad-
vance on Cape Town, the capital of
Cape Colony, through the western
provinces, where the Dutch predom-
mate and are expected to join the
Beers. Joubert calculates that he will
be master OF Cape Town a fortnight
after the declaration of war and that
he will then be able to dictate terms Of
peace

Gov. scofield Appeals for Moro Aid for
New Richmond Sufferers.
Milwaukee, Wis, June 20.-Gcv. SEQ
field came from Madison Saturday TO
confer with Milwaukee business men
and place before them the extreme ne
cessity of the cyclone sufferers in and
about New Richmond, and the desira-
bility of greatly increasing the relief
fund. The governor said in discussing
the calamity:
1T will take many thousands of dol
lars to place the people of New Rich
mond on their feet again. They have
lost everything and are destitute of all
that makes even existence possible.
Money is what is needed most. Large
quantities of provisions are being
sent from the nearby cities and towns,
but building material will have to be
purchased and mechanics will have to
be paid in order to rebuild, all of which
will take money.
"As the city is in the center of a
numbering section material can be had
there much cheaper than the cost OF
shipping it from other places. With the
necessary cash ON hand to pay for it,
the local committee can cheaply pur-
chase a stock of lumber.
"The terrible picture OF desolation
shown in New Richmond has caused
the outlying country to be forgotten
to a great extent. Along the track of
the cyclone at least twenty-five fam
ever the storm touched 1t left desola-
ton. Farmers in the track had all
their buildings wiped out. We have
given these sufferers food and such
shelter as we can, but much more will
have to be done for them
