The Trekkins Wagon.

The South African wagon is a long,
heavy cart mounted on four high
wheels, as a rule, with a sort of canvas
tent over the back half, leaving the
front clear to carry the miscellaneous
furniture of it's owner, drawn by IL, IS
or 20 oxen, curiously fierce-loollingw with
their immense spread of horn, some
times as much as eight feet from tip to
tip and rarely less than six, but in re-
ality as patient and Woodworking
beasts as one could wish to find. Their
mode of progression is certainly slow,
but there lisa strangeness and a fascina-
ton about it which may draw men to it
almost as the Alps draw their devotees.
In front there marches the "voor loop
err" generally small boy, leading the
two foremost oxen by a rein or rope
passed through their nostrils. The
driver walks alongside with the long
and terrible whip he uses so unsparing-
ly, or else sits on the front of the wagon
and gets Off occasionally to lash up the
whole team with unfailing impartial
ity. The travelling is all done at night,
starting little before sunset and
marching till perhaps II or ~ o'clock;
then there is halt till little before
the first sign of dawn, when they GO
on again till the sun begins to get hot
overhead and then they lie by for the
day.-Gentleman's Magazine.

Lonely Tribes.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe of
people in the world is the Tshuktshi,
a people occupying the northern por-
ton of the peninsula of Kamskatka
and the country northward toward
Bering Straits. These people are prac-
tically independent of Russia, who APP
pears to have reasons of her own for let
ting them alone. They have practically
no communication with the outside
world, and have only been visited two
or three times-the last time by Mai.
de Windt on his journey through ST.
IBERIA. The inhabitants of the New ST.
beran islands are also practically alone
ON earth, for they can only commune
cate with the mainland, and therefore
with the rest of the world, once year,
and a succession of bad seasons might
isolate them for years. The pygmies
of the great Central African forests,
if they can be called tribe, have also
been a people apart. For ages their ex-
istence was little more than legendary,
and only two expeditions commanded
by white men have ever penetrated into
their abode.-N. Y. Sun.

"MADAM" RUSH'S FETES.
At Which PcacOcks Were Roasted In
Their PlumaEe Served on
Solid Gold Plate.

What the Vanderbilt and the Bradley
Martin balls have been in recent times
to the whole country as browning events
Of social splendor, SO were the Rush
balls in the early fifties. In the dining
room of her Philadelphia mansion $50
guests would sit down at a time on cush-
toned seats of blue damask, the tables
shining with rare china and solid gold
plate, while rows of servants, wearing
blue ribbons, kept guard at the doors.
The skill of the cleverest caterers in the
country was taxed to provide novelties
for the table. Nothing pleased the
hostess on one of these occasions more
that the surprise of her guests at be-
holding peacocks that had been care
fully roasted with all their magnificent
plumage. The colored lamps in the gar
den and the gentle glow of 5000 wax
candles in the ballroom shed light upon
the scene. But so young men with the
qualifications of good beauX, and dane
ing we'll; so pretty girls without money,
but respectable, we'll dressed, lively and
charming-these, according to the hos
tess, ''were always indispensable" and
next to them the best music that could
be had, and the finest supper in the
world.-William Perrine, in Ladies'
Home Journal.

THE BROAD REMNANT.
The Commodore's Swallowtnil Flag
Disappears from American
Naval Ships.

The enactment of the navy personnel
bill is going to make a great change in
many naval manners and customs. For
one thing there are is rear admirals and
ten commodores, instead of seven rear
admrals and ten commodores; and the
officers without the gold stars on their
cuffs are to be hereafter just as good
| as those with the stars. In other words,
the distinction between the line and
staff is to be done away with.
The most interesting change is the
abolition of the grade commodore. 1t
will not mean so much for the commo-
dores as for outsiders. They will be-
come rear admirals, but will have only
the pay of commodores. They will
wear more braid on the cuffs of their
uniforms, and have u few more expenses,
and be entitled to have 10 guns fired
in their honor instead of II, and to hoist
a blue flag with two white stars on it in
stead of a swallowtailed flag with one
star. But in other respects except for
these things, they will be about the
same as if they were commodores. And
with the passing of the rank of COM
modore go good many traditions of
the navy.
10 begin with, the rank is peculiar to
the American navy. No other navy has
it as permanency. The United States
have had it as such only since 1862, but
before that the title, though not the
rank, was the highest to which naval
officer could hope to attain. In 1857 a
law decreed that captains in command
of squadrons should be dominated flag
officers, and that was the first official
recognition of title under which most
American naval heroes had made his
tory. Under the broad pennant of the
commodore, the blue swallow-tailed
flag with the single white star, all
American naval history had been made
from the time of Paul Jones to that of
Porter and Farragut at Forts Jackson
and St. Philip in 1862. And now that
broad pennant has come down; at
Portsmouth. Norfolk, Mare Island, New
York and Havana, it has been hauled
down, and in its place, along with a
new blue flag with four white stars, the
flag of rear admiral. But the disappear
ance of the broad pennant of Perry,
Stewart, Decatur, Farragut, and the
others who have written their names
pretty distinctly on the pages of
American history, will be regretted by
many because of it's associations. The
new admirals, however, are pretty good
writer's in their own way, and have been
putting things on those. pages for a
good many years; so it is not likely that
anyone will have more than Il senti-
mental reason for regretting The pass
ing of the broad pennant-N. Y. Sun

1NADEoUACY OF WORDS.
At Times Language Fails to Fully
Impart the State of Mans
Feelings.

In some things the power of man
seems woefully deficient, and one of
these is his language, which is as yet
inadequate to do justice to the opera
lions of nature. Stirring as it may be,
the ordinary account of Il mighty event
is generally far beneath what it might
be. The description of a wreck may
cause us to shudder slightly, but there
is no approach to the feeling that would
arise in us could we but behold the oc-
currence itself, and no combination of
words and sentences can bring the
whole truth home to us. We look from
the portfolios of our stateroom and see
the water dashing itself against the
side of the ship. Then the vessel rises
out of the wave, and we can look out
on mountainous tumbling masses that
raise their heads in ominous portent.
Where the sky should be the clouds are
scudding by as if driven by some terrific
fear. We hear the shrill piping of the
boatswain's whistle and the running of
the feet of men overhead. How the
hours drag and drag by until there
seems to be no end coming to the mer-
CHESS pounding of the sea. However
cheerful we may make ourselves ap-
pear, fear is in our hearts, fear of that
nerve-consuming sort that takes away
all energy and leaves us as if without
support. Better would it be to have
the crashing of timbers and the break
ing of plates than this long waiting in
uncertainty. Every day seems like a
year, and yet the storm only grows
worse and whistles and Kisses fright
fully. And if the worst does come, the
hardest thing is to realize that we, we
who have all our lives been in and near
and around danger, and who yet have
never seen it, are at last within it's
clutches. Literature alone as it is can
never make us realize these things per-
fectly. Nor can art, which may give us
nevertheless the benefit of magnificent
representations. And here is the power
of the drama that unites both liter
allure and art and combines them with
action. If it is possible to move us. we
shall be moved, and the truth will be
brought home more fully and more
sharply than in the other ways.-De-
troit Free Press.

NATURAL INK.
Lord Rosebery Wrote for Some from
Alexander Stephens
Farm.

One of the intimate friends of Alex
ander II. Stephens, the vice president of
the confederacy, has just shipped to
England gallon of natural ink, a prod
uct of Georgia soil, to the address of
Lord Rosebery, the distinguished poll
tician who once held the reins of the
British government. This little Incl
dent eliminates peculiar and interest
ing story. Some twenty years ago,
when Stephens was in his prime, Lord
Rosebery visited the United States.
The two men met, and in few weeks
were on an intimate footing. Mr.. Ste
phcns had genial manner, splendid
intellect and brilliant conversational
abilities. Lord Rosebery was much at
tached to him, and they spent much
time together. Toward the end of the
Englishman's stay he accepted the in
vitation of Mr.. Stephens and came for
stead near this town. Charlottesville
was then in it's swaddling clothes, and
fine specimen of the quiet American
country town. Lord Rosebery was
charmed with the hospitality of the
people and the many quaint characters
he found here, and declared he had
spent one of the pleasantest times in
the history of his life. Among other in
teresting things which Stephens
showed him was some natural ink,
which flows from a peculiar spring at
the base of Kenesaw mountain, near
Marietta, Ga, and which he used for
all purposes of record and correspond
cnce.
The liquid was little heavier than
the manufactured article, but left per-
manent stain, which made it valuable
agent where documents were to be pre-.
served. Lord Rosebery finally returned
home, and kept up constant corre-
spondence with Mr.. Stephens until the
latter's death. A few days since the
heirs of the former vice-president re-
ceived letter from the ex-premier ask
ing that some of the ink be bottled and
sent him, as he wished to exhibit it to
his friends, and adopt it for his per-
sonal use, if practicable. His request
was complied with, and the ink will
arrive in England, and be shown around
as a natural freak from America.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

THINNER MATERIALS.
Light Stuffs for Gowns Will BE Much
Worn in II Short
Time.

Buff and drab are rather old-fash-
toned shades which are liked this
spring. There is no possible light
shade of tan or gray that is not fash
ionable for cashmeres, cloths and silks,
and all the pale colors are grayed deli
cately and used in cashmere with
charming results. Even the light blues
and pinlks and greens seem hardly
strange, built into cloth visiting gowns
with the delicate fade tone the dyers
have cast over them.
Nuns veilings and bareges are to be
worn largely, these sometimes striped
or figured with silk threads, and they
will have bows and belts Of tucked tat
feta. Tatfeta dress skirts are covered
with apparently hand-embroidered silk
pollla-dots, and trimmed with rows of
baby velvet ribbon. The silk is as soft
as a foulard and is sometimes built in
three tier effect very prettily, the sec
items shaped Ell fourure, as the French
say, SO that they fit closely and scanti-
ly, the lower one trailing like an up
turned vase.
Many women in midsummer will be
smartly logged in black cotton stuifs,
in black ducks, black piques, black
linen and the like. The black is of
perfect tone, and is trimmed with white
English embroideries or with plain
white linen tucked in a lattice and APP
piled with black lace motifs. Black
muslins will be trimmed with garlands
or bow-knots of white Chantilly lace,
and a layer of thin white gauze will be
black silk foundation-a charmingly
delicate gray effect being the result
Mixed black and white lace gowns are
also smart for summer wear.
The fashion of using several layers
of muslins or tnlle is to be carried out
to great extent this summer, in many
cases giving a mother of pearl effect
hung over each other, delicate lace and
knots of black velvet ribbon trimming
them.
Silk muslin frocks will be pretty
thickly shirred, perhaps down the cen
ter of the apron front, SO that the fold:
encircle the figure, and are gathered
up under choux on each side of the
ruffled back breadth, the ruffles cover
ing the petticoat below the overskirt eff
feet. This is delicious when thil
black muslin is used over a rose muslin
foundation. Equally effective is lay
err of thin black between pink muslin
and it's pink satin foundation, and blacl

A Chi1d'S CRul.

The following folklore is from Lip
hook, Hants. A child born in caul
will always be wanderer so long as
the caul is kept, and, moreover, being
unable to sink in water, cannot be
drowned. An old woman told my niece
lately of her brother who was so born,
and so potent was the influence of the
oaul that when his mother tried to
battle him he sat on the surface of the
water, and if forced down, came up
again like cork. There seems no
doubt that this was fully believed and
related in all seriousness. The mother
had kept the caul stretched on sheet
of note paper, and whenever her son
was in danger it became wet and soft,
but it remained dry and like dried
bladder so long as he was safe. 1t got
destroyed somehow, and soon after the
brother, a sailor, was shipwrecked and
drowned.-Notes and Queries.
