4 VICTIM TO SCIENCE
Physician While Investigatiag
. the Plague,

A correspondent at Lisbon sends NJ
some pathetic details of the death Of
DR.. Camara Pestana, who actually
caught the plague through his anxiety
to learn all that he could about it, says
the London Times. He was dissecting
the body of patient who had died
from plague, and in order to extract
the virus more thoroughly for analysis
he put aside his instruments and
worked with his fingers. The poison
entered his system under the finger
nails and he was struck down with the
terrible disease which he was investi-
eating. He was at once moved to an
isolated ward set apart for plague suf-
ferers, and there he set himself to study
his own case and IT, record for the bene-
fit of humanity his own symptoms and
the course of the disease. He refused
to see his brother for fear of infection,
and in every way, even in making ar
rangements for his own funeral, he took

A FIGHT TO TIE DEATH.
1t Was Between a Man-Eating Shark
and an Alligator and the
Shark Won.

Some fishermen down. at Mayport,
Fla, the mouth of the St. Johns river,
witnessed strange fight a few days
ago between a large alligator and a
man-eating shark, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
The alligator was summing himself
on the river bank when the fishermen
approached within 80 yards.
There was roar from the alligator,
which attracted attention to his pres
ence, and he fell sprawling in the river.
Then huge shark shot toward the
bank and caught the alligator's tail
in his mouth, causing the alligator to
roar with pain and turn onto the
sharks tail with his mouth.
The two monsters stuck their teeth
firmly in each others tail, and the
shark .snatched off piece of the alli-
gators flesh, swallowing it at one gulp.
The alligator let loose the shark and
made desperate effort to escape. The
shark raised himself above the water
and pounced upon the head of the alli-
gator.
The entire head Of the alligator was
caught between the jaws of the shark
and mangled.
Several hours later the dead alligator,
without head or tail or legs, rose to the
top of the water and was carried out
to sea. by the ebbing tide.
Several sharks have been caught at
Mayport this year, and the fishermen
who reported the above story will try
to catch the shark that ate the alli-
gator.

the English as instruments of ven-

Even now there are Beers who on the

pose them. ~. ~.

of the Limpopo river. This is no doubt
one of the most extraordinary super
stitions that ever took into captivity the

be willing to adopt this land as their fu-
ttre home Great Britain, it is thought,

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.
If Sincerely Made They Are q Help to
Right Character, Although
Sometimes Broken.

New Years resolutions are so often
made the target for cheap jokes by
cheap critics as to create the impress
sion that such resolutions are never
kept and never ought to be made. The
criticism is unjust, its logic is false.
its effect pernicious. A recent preacher
brought out the true idea in sermon
upon Peters pledge of devotion to his
master, even though all others should
desert Him. Simon did not yield to
temptation because of his earnest as
surance, but in spite of it. 1t had been
said that hell was paved with good res.
olutions. If that was true it was GER
tainly the best thing about that place.
We must resolve before we do. Right
resolutions sincerely made are help to
right character, even if by distress Of
kept. Peters faith did not finally fail,
and very likely he had more faith and
more strength because he failed once
and so learned his weak point. It is a
good thing, then, with the thoughtful.
ness belonging to the outlook Of new
year, to desire and decide and declare
that we will live truer, nobler lives.
Making the resolve, not lightly or
boastfully, but seriously and expecting
the Divine help, we shall succeed in part
if not in full. He whom we call Mas.
ter and Lord is praying for US that our
faith fail not. The man who resolved
and failed and tried again became a

brethren in the first century was doubt.

ther ahead than we could, and I put
everything into His hands and went
to sleep.
I slept so soundly that I was greet

sagey scent of frying sausages COM
ing up the little back stairs before I
fairly got back from the slumber
world. Dora was down in the kitchen
singing Lightly Row. over the bis
cults, and looking as fresh as peach,
with her rosy cheeks and clear gray
eyes. And the stove was drawing
beautifully. And Aunt Laura came
down without a speck of neuralgia
and feeling as spW as a girl, to finish
breakfast, while Dora and went forth
to do the milking. And behold! the
sopping rain had turned into a love-
ly, soft snow in the night; not a bliz-
zardy snow like the one before the
rain, that blew in everywhere, but a
gentle, fine, thick powder. It had
stopped falling now, and the air felt
crispy and bracing. The sun wasn't
shining yet, but there was a mellow
look in the sky, as if it meant to pop
out any minute.
New Years calling was not much in
vogue in our rural district; still, it was
Aunt Laura's way to make red-letter
day of the opening one of the year, and
always to be prepared for any stray
caller who might chance to appear. She
had cheerful fire in the parlor, plen-
tiful supply Of coffee and cake on hand,
and we all put on our pretty house
dresses and prepared to be happy
whether anyone came or not.
AT half past mine pleasant melody
OF sleigh bells jingled along, and the
cutest little cutter stopped at our gate,
and here came Rev. Cyrus Melton smil-
ing up the walk. We were mighty
thankful for the contrast between this
call and his last one; but such is the
perversity of man. I imagined he
looked little disappointed at not be-
ing ushered into the cooking regions

fine, powdery snow through. There
| were drifts, varying in size, on the pi-
ano, on the chairs, and dainty white
powdering all over the carpet, which
the wind had puffed in under the door.
You could fairly feel the gale whisk-
ing about your ears. There wasn't
a scrap of wood nor a chip in the
wood box. Relinquishing a wild idea
of chopping up a parlor chair or two
to make fire Of, I scooted back to
the sitting-room chilled to the bone.
Dora, putting as bold face upon
the situation as possible, was bringing
in dishes from the .dining-room and
setting the table right under the eyes
of the minister, who was chatting
away as serenely as if he hadn't
driven us all frantic by his ill-timed
call. Aunt Laura had levied on her
cellar goodies and produced preserved
ounces, apple jelly, picked peaches
and chow-chow, so the dinner wasn't
so frightful. The only thing I was
ashamed of was the corn cakes; they
were so big and clumsy, and Dora had
crumbled the edges in turning them.

we had a banquet, and even the corn

prodding in the ashes with long fork
to dig out the sweet potatoes! Not that
it mattered much about me; but some
folks were beginning to observe that
Rev. Cyrus was trifle more attentive
to Dora than the fact of her being one
of his flock warranted, and l knew that
in her eyes he was about as near state
of perfection as q mortal man needed
to be.
He was just riding out, he ex-
planned, to see old Mrs. Hankins, who
was sick, and had been delayed lit

BuNu AND D1N1zULu.
Native Chiefs In Southern Africa Of
Whom the World May Hear
q Great Deal.

There are three native chiefs in
southern Africa of whom in the near
future the world may hear a good
,deal-Lerothodi, the paramount chief
of the Basutos; Bunu, 'king" of the
swazis, who is only just beginning to
.feeF his feet" as the saying is, and
Dinizulu, the keen, clever, intelligent
and lately repatriated chief of the
Szulus, says the London Mail.
a For a long time Bunu's position was
akin to that of the emperor of China
-he was overweighted and overshad-
owed by the queen mother, a very de-
termined lady, indeed, and quite a
character in her way. Bunu's position
has always been a little curious, and

character. He still lets II dare not

time is not far distant when he will
prove himself-as he has not done up
to now-worthy to be the head of a
race whose valor is undoubted.
Dinizulu, chief of the Zulus, may be
said to be on his trial. He has only
been back a short time among his peo-
pie, from whose society he in 1888 was
banished to St. Helena for rebelling
against British authority. This was
some four years after he had succeed
ed Cetewayo. Curiously enough, Dini-
zulu's capture was effected by party
of Beers headed by Luka Meyer, who
is now in command of a large Boer
force against the British.
