MT. AIinferro TnltafeYro.

"I suppose" said government clerk to the man across the table, that you have heard of the Virginia family of Derby which spells its name En- o-u-g-h-t-y. as we'll as the Chumleys of England, but I came across one the other day that I'll bet a hat you never heard of. The subject of the sketch was a VirgInian or claimed that he was, and he was so youthful and un- sophisticated that I guess he was tell Ing the truth. Children and fools, you know, have q weakness In that regard.
 'I met the young fellow on a train between Richmond and Petersburg, and we struck up quite m acquaint- ance. He told me his name was Tolli- ver-Oliver Tolliver-and I very natu- rally asked him If he spelled his name as did the famous +. F. V. Taliaferros, and he said he did and seemed to be proud of 1t. wns rather proud to be friendly with one of the name myself and made myself extra agreeable.
 "When he left me at a way station and bade me goodby. he rendered me his card and told me he hoped I would not forget him. I didn't look at the card till he had gone, and, would you believe 1t, the young fellow had his name spelled to match, as It were, and 1t appeared thus, MT. Allaferro Talia- ferro.' which, In my humble opinion. was getting Oliver Tolliver down pret ty fine. Don't you think so tooT'- Washington Star.

THE DRESS MODEL.

Very small handkerchiefs daintily em- broidered and trimmed with lace are the fashion.
 Cashmeres in pretty light colors are em- broidered in small rings of white silk which give them a new style.
 Low necked nightgowns made with a much trimmed loose bodice and a trim med skirt attached are the modes fol summer wear.
 A new silk which Is like quicksilver in appearance has appeared. It is plain not figured, and is used for waists in stead of taffeta.
 One button kid gloves are worn with the new sleeve, which has the dainty un dersleeve banded so closely at the wrist that longer glove is clumsy.
 Scarfs of maltese and brussels lace arc very much worn with the soft, finely tucked silk stocks. They are carried twice around the neck and tied sailol fashion, bow on the bust.
 Gold and silver ribbons, which are sill and tinsel woven together, are a new fancy and very pretty one for belts anc collar bands. They are as soft and pliable as if they were of all silk.
 The elegance of the white lawn petit coat has no limit this season. It is trim med with very handsome embroidery anc lace, is made to fit the hips in the approv ed fashion and costs anywhere from S2s to S65.
 A plain pale blue parasol is one of thu items of a fashionable outfit this season and a detachable cover of fine white mus lin tucked and trimmed with valencienne, lace transforms it into a dressy one fol afternoon.-New York Sun.

A Lake That Eats Boats.

A strange lake exists In the center of Sulphur island off New Zealand. It Is 50 acres in extent. about 12 feet in depth and 15 feet above the level of the sea.
 The most remarkable characteristic of this lake Is that the water contains vast quantities of hydrochloric and sul- phuric acids hissing and bubbling at a temperature of 110 degrees F.
 The dark green colored water looks particularly unlnviting. Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off this boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised In approaching this lake to avoid the risk of suffocation. On the opposite side of the lake may be seen the tremendous blowholes, which, when In full blast, present an awe in- spiring sight.
 The roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth into the air Is deafening, and often huge powders and stones are hurled out to height of several hun fred feet by the various internal forces of nature.
 A boat can be launched on the lake. and if proper care be observed the very edges of the blowholes may be safely explored.
 Some idea of the strength of the acid saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that boat al- most dropped to pieces after all the passengers had been landed, as the rivets had corroded under the influence of the acids.

Vampires Not BIoodsuckers.

MT. James Rhen, who Is engaged In a special study of bats, says that 1t Is a fallacy that the vampire Is a blood sucker. Travellers and story writers are responsible for the story of the ter rible bloodsucking vampire bats of South America Nearly all general writers on this subject agree with them as to its criminal record. and they all concur In laying the blame on a large grotesque looking bat with an enormous leaf nose, the Vampyrus spectrum. This bat Is common in South and Central America and, from his great size, being about two feet across the outspread wings, Is a sug- gestive and repulsive enough object to impute the blood loving habit to.
 AS a matter of fact, this is a some what useful animal and Is totally inno- cent of these charge. the bloodsuck- CTS being two much smaller and rarer bats. The front teeth of these two lat ter are enormous lancets occupying over half the tooth row of the animals and possessing very sharp edges, which can easily penetrate the human skin. The teeth of the big vampire. on the other hand, are simply adapted for diet of insects and fruit. The true bloodsucking bats are much rarer than the vampire.-Philadelp Record.

vessel and watching the storm.'' The little child immediately returned to her berth and said, It's all right, for fa- ther's on deck" O ye who are tossed and driven In this world, up by the mountains and down by the valleys and at your wits ends, want you to know the Lord God Is guiding the ship. Your Father Is on deck. He will bring you through the darkness into the harbor. Trust in the Lord. Go and tell Jesus.
 If you go to him for pardon and sym pathy, all Is well. Everything will brighten up, and joy will come to the heart, and sorrow will depart, your sins will be forgiven. and your foot will touch the upward path, and the shining messengers that report above what Is done here will tell 1t until the great arches of God resound with the glad tidings if now with contrition and full trustfulness of soul you will only go and tell Jesus
 But I am oppressed as I think of those who may not take this counsel and may remain unblessed. I cannot help asking what will be the destiny of these people. Xerxes looked off on his army. There were 100000, perhaps the finest army ever marshaled. Xer- xes rode along the lines, reviewed them, came back, stood on some high point, looked off upon the 2,0OO, 900 men and burst into tears. At that moment,
 when every one supposed he would be In the greatest exultation. he broke
 down In grief. They asked him why he wept. "kh," he said. "I weep at the thought that so soon all this host will
 be dead" So I think of these vast pop ulations of immortal men and women and realize the fact that soon the places which know them now will know them no more, and they will be gone-whither, whither? There is a stirring idea which the poet put in very peculiar verse when he said: Iris not for man to trihe; life is brief, And sin Is here;
 Our age is but the falling of a leaf, dropping tear.
 Not many lives, but only one have We One, only one;
 How sacred should that life ever be- That narrow spsni

In New York;. New Rich Society.

A salient feature of the reign of the new rich Is the habit of estimating a mans success in life solely by the mon- ey he has acquired. There are gather ings of society in New York where If the question were asked about fellow citizen, Has he been successful?" the answer would be in, the negative had the person inquired about not accumu- lated wealth. No matter whether he had served his country as a soldier, statesman or philanthropist. had led the youth of his generation as college president. had been m educator of the people In school or pulpit, had achieved wide renown as jurist. had written great book, had held multitudes en- thralled by his poetry, had painted no- ble pictures, had advanced science or surgery, had created a leading news paper or magazinel Nothing of all this tells.

THE BOER.

The Boer soldiers have lost everything save honor, but that they have retained by as gallant and skillful a fight as has ever been made by a free people.-Philn' delphia Ledger.
 The Bonr idea of independence is dead in South Africa. The hopes cherished by the followers of Kruger are blasted forever. They must accept the fate oj the vanquished or again trek afar into the desert, where foes in new guise oi old will finally overtake and engulf them -Philadelphia Times.
 A siege of Pretoria could have had but one result. Two hundred thousand trained men who have smelled powder and shown their valor are rather too much for the comparative handful of pa triots no matter how straight they car shoot, and lavishness in the sacrifice oi life is not a necessary adjunct to bravery Brooklyn Times.
