STRUGGLING YOUNG AUTHOR.
Got So He Dreams. About His Stuff Now

but Is Still Cheerful.
81 regard this" said the struggling
young author, "as a kind of funny
dream: l dreamed that in one mail I
received back two punches of manu-
script, short stuff, one lot being done
up in a band in the same manner in
which a newspaper would be wrapped
for mailing, except that this was a mar
lower band, and it was of white paper,
like writing paper; and on this. band,
besides my address, was written in
large letters, and with a scar mark at
the bottom Of it, the word 'Hoodoo!'
The other bunch of manuscript was
contained in an envelope in the ordina-
ry manner, but there was sent with
this lot, instead of the usual polite
printed letter of ~declination, a written
letter, in which there was contained a
list of the articles returned, about a
dozen of them, these being enumeratc
ed by their titles, which were set down
one under another, a title on a line,
like a table of contents. 1t looked
very we'll, and it was certainly very
precise and business like. I only wish
ed the letter had been one not return.
ing the articles described, but contain
ing a check for them. But, neVerthe-
less, l am not cast down, for dreams go
by contraries, and I don't for one mo-
ment doubt that that word hoodo
should be really substituted 'charm!'
nor do 1 doubt that the checks will
come in good time."-New York Sun.

Deadly Enemies.

Fancy two plants being so unfriendly
that the mere neighborhood of one is
death to the other! Yet this is the
case with two well-known British
plants. These are the thistle and the
rape If a field is infested with this
ties, which come up year after year
and ruin the crops, all you have to do
is sow it with rape. The thistle will
be absolutely annihilated.

Realistic Playing.

Fond Mother (proudly)-"Were they

variations, half of them left the room"
Fond Mother (ecstatically)-"That's

Louis Gavron or theic meeting with
him.
About 10 O'Clock the next day De-
voost arrived.
"Hurrah for the Salon Blanc!" he
shouted. May they have one every
winter if it brings about such good
results
why, Devoost, what has happened? ?"
asked M. Bertel. Have the poor got
a bigger sum than you expected"
"Confound the poor-no, I didn't
meal that; but Louis Gavron's fortune
is made. Two orders, mon cher, and
big ones, too, all owing to the fortune
teller's cave. Look here, Bertel, don't
you be the only blind-folded individual
in Belgium"
What can I do? I am not rich
enough to order a statue"
M. Bertel knew quite we'll what was
expected of him, but to pretend to do
so would be to give up without a
struggle. He gave up the fight, how
ever, when Claudine threw herself on
his neck and kissed him as she whis-
pered:
Father, now you have seen he can
work yop will no longer refuse your
consent?~
"Of course he won't" cried Devoost.
Come and kiss me, too, Claudine, and
receive my congratulations"
An hour or two later, when Claudine
was alone, there was a very different
expression on her face to the sorrow
flu one that had fingered there of
late.
Even while she was thinking of This
there was a light football on the stair.
Louis! You here? How did you know
that you might Gomez"
He laughed.
Good news flies swiftly, o see. M.
Devoost said that you had something
to tell me-
IN. Devoost is a dear. If it had not
been for NJ. Devoost I doubt if even
the fortune "teller's ave would have
done any good.
"He is a true friend as we'll as a
relative" said Louis. is is through
his influence that l have got two i'm

this morning that as he has no chill
dren of his own, he looks on me as
his son and will meet NJ. Bertel's views
in the matter of an allowance"
ooh, Louis!"
And so overcome by emotion was
happy Claudine that she looked as if
she were going to faint. This, of course,
necessitated that Louis should take her
in his arms, and there she was when
the door unexpectedly opened and her
father came into the room.
$50, so. This is the way you behave
when l an absent. When the cats
away etc.
But though he tried to speak sternly
there was a break in his voice. He,
too, had seen Devoosts that morning,
AMI they had come to terms on the
subject Of ways and means. 1t amused
him, then, rather than angered him, to
see the frightened, shy mi in
which the lovers rushed away from
each other, looking imploringly at
him the while, as though to beg for
forgiveness.
The ordeal did not last long, for
Claudine noticed a glimmering twinkle
in his eye and instantly took advan-
tage Of it to kiss him and tell him
that he had promised her to accept
Louis for his son-in-law.
And so, even the contretemps OF dar-
ing to make love before NJ. Bertel's
formal consent had been given was at
last overcome, and among all the peo-
pie who visited the Salon Blanc on that
crisp January night there was not a
happier couple than brown-eyed Clau-
dine and Louis.-Lloyd's Weekly.

Tho Trekkfnn Wagon.

The South African wagon Is long,
heavy cart mounted on four high
wheels, as q rule, with sort of canvas
tent over the back half, leaving the
front clear to carry the miscellaneous
furniture of its owner, drawn by 16, Is
or 90 oxen, curiously fierce-looliingwith
their immense spread of horn, some
times as much as eight feet from tip to
tip and rarely less than six, but in re-
atty as patient and Woodworking
beasts as one could wish to find. Their
mode of progression Is certainly slow,
but there is strangeness and 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 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 q little before sunset and
marching till perhaps II or IL 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
Magazine.

THE BROAD REMNANT.
The Commodore's SwaIlowtnil flag
Disappears from American
Naval Ships.

The enactment of the navy personnel
bill Is going to make great ch%nge in
many naval manners and customs. For
one thing there are is rear admirals and
ten commodores, instead Of seven rear
admirals 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 admiraIs, but will have only
the pay of commodores. They will
wear more braid on the cuffs Of their
uniforms, and have a few more expenses,
and be entitled 10 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 swallow-tailed 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 a good many traditions of
the navy.
To begin with, the rank is peculiar to
the American navy. No other navy has
it as a 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
law decreed that captains in command
of suuadrons 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 swallowtailed
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

Lonely Tribes.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe of
people in the world is the Tshuktshi,
q people occupying the northern por-
ton of the peninsula of Kamskatka
and the country northward toward
Boring Straits. These people are prac-
tically independent of Russia, who ap-
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 Maj.
de Windt on his journey through ST.
IBERIA. The inhabitants of the New ST.
berian islands are also practically alone
on earth, for they can only communi-
cate with the mainland, and therefore
with the rest OF the world, once year,
and 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 people apart. For ages their en-
istence was little more than legendary,
and only two expeditions commanded
by white men have ever penetrated into
their nbode.-N. Y. Sun.

"MADAM" RUSH'S FETES.
At Which Pencocl1s Were Roasted In
Their Plumage 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, 80 were the Rush
balls in the early ffties. In the dining
room of her Philadelphia mansion go
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 WAYS oE MEN.

Some people do not like this world.
They sigh, they are unhappy, and
Find things, with few exceptions, here
To have been miserably planned;
The weather never suits them, they
Are always racked with sorrow,
And sigh for things of yesterday,
Or dread things of tomorrow.
Some people find this world Of ours
A place Of pure. serene delight;
To them the weeds are fragrant flowers
And unto them all days are bright;
They wonder at the gifts that God
To men Is ever giving;
They seem to live to spread abroad
The joyousness OF living.
Nay, they are not the rich who smile.
Nor are they always poor who sigh;
The servant oft Is happier than
The master who in state goes by:
There's always cheer In plenty here
For those who care to take It,
And the world Is gladlor bright or sad,
AS each one tries TO make 1t.

Bringing the Time of Day.

In Ulster you can find the bull
fourishing; here is pretty example
of the acted "bull:" A certain squire
had just set up with great pains and
elaborate mathematical calculations a
sun dial in his garden, and was natural
ly little proud of it. One day, as 1t
so happened, being close to the gar
den, he was In doubt as to the right
time, and told a boy who was with him
to run down and get him the time from
the dial. After a few minutes the boy
appeared dragging with him something
heavy. Here she is, yer homer, an

torn up the dial from its setting and
dragged It up the hill.-Chicago Times

Stewart, Decatur, Farragut, and the
others who have written their names

American history, will be regretted by
many because Of its associations. The

writer's in their own way, and have been
putting things on those pages for q
good many years; SO 1t is not likely that
anyone will have more than q senti-
