Chief Lobengula called him "the man
who eats whole country for his din
ner."
He had the face of a Caesar, the
ambition of Loyola and the wealth
of Crgsus," says one writer.
His gray eyes, somewhat sunken ~
their orbits, have an almost melaar
choly expression, in curious contra'L
with the bold resolution of the otteg
features. Washington had such eve9
so did Lincoln. In speech Ce9J
Rhodes is simple and direct, aud IN
manner frank. He has waged several
fierce wars with natives; he is build
ing railway and telegraph line fror4
Cairo to the Cape. to say nothing OF
the lines he has built in the CMpe
country itself. He has founded an
empire--and he is but 46 years old.
Yet his great reproach against himself
is that he is lazy has led, on the
whole, rather an indolent life.

Slovenly Typewriting.

The people who are expert operators
on the typewriting machines usually
do their work so rapidly that they
write in full the words which the
writer by the old pen and ink method
expresses by signs and abbreviations,
but it seems that ever the machines
must now resort to abbreviations in
order to turn out the work as rapidly
as it is required.
A letter received recently from the
Transvaal shows that even in that far
away country the typewriter works
under high pressure. The sheet is
thickly sprinkled with diagonal dashes
and disconnected letters, which at the
first glance give it the appearance of
having served the operator as a prac-
tice sheet. But closer inspection
shows that the dashes and letters are
labor saving shbreviations.
Thus: " man went to house
found locked" "
"One o leading citizens appeared
f. defence"
'He took hold o mans hand W
his, etc.
The people who write letters in this
way may save little time, but the
letters are samples of slovenliness
which will probably make the method
unpopular. New York Tribune.

tions. The gas will be conveyed in
wagons drawn by a steam traction
engine or by four horses. This gas
is slowed in steel cylinders, ITO
cylinders being required to fill one
balloon of 10000 cubic feet capacity.
Hitherto one cause of great concern
in the ballooning operations has been
the difficulty of obtaining a balloon
sufficiently steady to ensure the max
ing of accurate observations. II has
also been feared that the difficulties
attending the manufacture, handling
and conveyance of the gas might
prove insurmountable. In order that
this may not prove a stumbling block
in the Transvaal, the British army is
being also furnished with equipment
for the rapid erection of observation
towers. The care of these is entrust-
ed to the Royal Engineers, section
OF the British army whose operations
have always been distinguished by
excellence of work. One of the illus
trations shows one of these towers
after it has reached height of ITO
feet. 1t will be seen that the OBJ
servation posts afford every facility
for accommodating the movements of
the Boer army. The results of the

But speaking of cotton-strange
how the subject sticks to one-I once
asked small farmer in Georgia,
"Why do you raise cotton year after
year? 1t seems to me it's the hardest
thing in the world to raise; it requires
more care than anything I know of;
has to be plowed oftener and looked
after more carefully; why don't you
raise something to eat?" And the
man with the two-mule farm laughed
and said, "I'd know you was from the
North just by that fool speech. Be-
cause 1 owe for my land. I have to
have money every yeaf to run this
farm. L can borrow money ON my
next crop of cotton. And the man
who lends me the money can keep his
eye on my crop from the time the
seed is in the ground till it is loaded
on TIE cars. His security is all right.
But il l go to him in the spring and
tell him L amt going to raise ally cot
ton, but only corn and garden truck,
he can't keep track of no such perish
able security as that. He won't lend
me cent. So if 1 want any money
I've got to raise cotton" And made
what haste 1 could to swim ashore.
1t is so easy, son, for us to tell people
1000 miles away just what they ought
to do. So much easier than it is to
so there anG do it.--Robert Burdette,

The brilliant work performed by
the signaling corps of the United
States army during the war with
Spain caused special attention to be
drawn to that branch of the service.
An interesting comparison will be
afforded by the study of the opera

The Dry Goods Economist, advising
the individual who would be successful
in his business undertakings, SAYS:
Assuming that man has a desire to
become proprietor of business and
is thoroughly in earnest, the shortest
formula by which he can express the
policy that is certain to lead him in
the right direction is: "Sift things"
In other words, analyze; get down to
rock bottom of facts; scrutinize and
dissect merchandising conditions and
processes; know why thing is done,
why goods are bought from one con-
Germ or from another, why certain
salespeople are employed; ascertain
what is cost value and what is profit
bearing value. Conscientious and
continuous sitting will bring to the
surface the latent qualities, good or
bad, of every element of business
makeup. Upon the capacity of the
merchant to sift, not only his business,
but his own abilities and qualifications
us well, The degree of his success will
largely depend. The race goes rarely
to the brilliant, never to the superficial
or erratic. Much more important are
plodding determination and unswerv-
ing and persistent adherence to the
policy of sitting every proposition that
relates to buying, selling or expendi-
ture.

The balloon, too, will rerder ex-
