Don't you feel your spirits tingling with a new
and grateful thrill.
Every nerve within you jingling with ring that
illls the bill,
Every muscle keen for action, every sinew strung
anew,
And your active brain expelling every shade Of
saddening blue,
As you rise these lovely mornings from bed OF
dreamless sleep,
When the stars arc getting drowsy and the day
begins to peep,
When the grasses and the bushes are with spar.

All the issstude o. summer hides its head in lazy

In the eyes there comes a sparkle OF rcsuscltated

Putting all the listless glsnccs full o, seepnes,

And the brain gets up an action full OF 'yigorated

And the feet rag on tie pavement NTH an ener

How 1t tuts the fresh young faces Of the naidens

That outrivals cen the soitnees Of the ripened

Gives their eyes a healthful glinting and their

As It gallantly salutes them with the sweetness

THOSE BOER LADIES.
By Middle Life They Are Almost TOO
Fnt TO Wink.

Fnt TO Wink.
The Boer woman Is very little like
the trim, handsome Dutchwoman of
her ancestral Hoiland. She Is seldom
pretty. Her complexion is her prnci-
pal charm, and she guards this care
fully whenever she goes out. She Is
never seen outdoors without a great
peaked bonnet on her head, her visits
to church being made behind an al
most oriental seclusion of wells. This
Is necessary TO preserve the pink and
white of her skin, for the climate
would otherwise soon tan 1t to the col
or of sole leather. Her eyes are small
and set close together, and her features
are irregular. Her cheeks are broad
and fiat, and her hair Is naturally light
In color, although time and weather
soon bleach 1t from its early straw
color. At very early age she loses
all her teeth, for she is constantly
chewing sweet cakes and confection-
cry.
A European woman would replace
the molars that nature has deprived
her Of with well mounted works of
art. but the Boer woman does not do
this. She thinks 1t would be impious
thus to try to duplicate the work of
the Creator. Her figure is thick and

SOME COVETED SCRAWLS.

Rare Autographs For which I'm
mcnse Prices Have Dccn Paid.
The most priced autographs In the
world are those of Shakespeare, on
ly seven are claimed to exist, three
signatures to his VIII leach with II
different spclllng), two to convcyances
Of property, one In the folio edition of
his plays doubtful and one In n Tudor
translation of Montaignc. This last Is
in the British museum and cost ovcr
5000 guinens.
One thousand gulneas was tho price
given by tho late Mr. Alfred Morrl-
son OF Carlton House terrace for an
autograph letter written by Marie
Stuart to the archbishop OF Gulse.
This and two other letters tone TO the
pope and the other TO the king OF
Franco were written by the unfor,u-
nate queen of Scots on the morning of
her execution. The letter to the French
king WAS destroyed during the days of
the terror, while that to the pope Is
still preserved NJ the Vatican.
The well known bookseller Bernard
Quari,ch gave $1,000 for nm autograph
of Columbus, which was exhibited at
the Worlds fair at Chicago. A Chi
cago autograph dealer Is said to have
offered to give 100000, or over l20,-
600. for genuine autograph of
Shakespeare II brought TO him within
n year of making his offer. 1t was n
safe blur, for since the tragic fate of
Chatterton no forger has cnred to

BILLS OVER A CENTURY OLD
They show Tea 10 Have Been n Cnm-
bridge Students FnvOrite Drink.


There Is bill for groceries, etc, fur
nlshed for an undergraduate at Cam
bridge in the year l7SS. The bill con-
talns one or two ;l,ls of furniture.
Apparently the unt1 graduate took
over rooms already ,-.rnlshed at val
uatiOn, and certain articles had to be
bought new, such as hearth brush,
pail. mop and n "I1olland gotch."
One knows not what this means, but
1t cost 2 shillings pence (i3 cents.
The undergraduate would seem Mt
first sight to have consumed ten in n
most reckless manner On Oct. "a lie
is charged 2 shllllngs for Tyson and
shilling pence for Congo On Nov.
l lie is charged shllllngs for tea and
on the same day, which looks odd, 6
shillings pence for tea. On the 9th
of the month he buys n new teapot, the
old one, one supposes, worn out with
hard service. However, this tea lasts
him till the end OF the term, so that
his ten costs him for the two months
no more than IL shilllngs, or SCI and
ns the price of tea at this time varied
from 3 shllllngs TO about % shlllings
we may conclude that he got through
no more than n pound during the term.
In other words, this young man took
for breakfast n slight repast OF weak
tea and bread and butter. Dinner was
then served ut II, so that breakfast
was only what the Indians call II
"chota hazri." On sugar he spent 4

never been applied to the personal
parts OF ordinary men.
AS he stands to deliver his soft, per-
suasive, mellifluous orntory, with staT
of office in his hand and his fly duster
thrown over his shoulder, any one can
see that he is man of great impor-
tance, or If this is not apparent from
his attitude 1t may be gathered from
the attention paid to his utterances by
gray haired chiefs and by youths and
maidens. II the talking man is clev-
er fellow and understands his busi-
ness. he is the chief ruling power in his
tribe, although the nominal headship
is always vested In chief or patri-
archnl figurehead.
