HE EvENED MATTERS.

A Small Boy Who Removed a Possible
| Casus BeIli.
| An uptown family has two interest
ing children who are always getting
into mischief. The boy, who is the
older, is usually the instigator Of the
escapades, and so though the small
girl runs away with him and gives the
cat coal oil aud sets the plants on fire,
and steals the eggs the cook expects to
have for breakfast, to beat with sand
TO make nice creamy cake" she usual
h escapes nj itl a lighter punishment
than is meted out to the chief cuIprit.
Yesterday, however, the heir of the
family got even. An uncle of the chill
dren had given each of them a beauti-
full little cut-glass goblet. Now, they
didn't care a thing about the cut-glass
part, but they cared very much for the
fact that the name of each was traced
ON his possession, and they treasured
them as If they We're wrought of dia-
monds-fOr awhile.
The first day, indeed, they would
hardly drink from them, they deemed
them so precious; the second the inven-
tive genius of the son tempted him to set
his on the kitchen stove so that it
would get soft and he could write his
age on it. Directly. of course, 1t was in
bits.
Then he tried to buy his sisters treas
ure, but it was not for sale. Not even
two boxes of tin soldiers and an equal
share in the hobby horse could induce
her to part with it. Then, after much
coaxing the ingenious youngster be-
thought him of a project.
put your goblet on this stone, sis,
and then we'll let this big stone drop
on it and bounce off. It'll be lots of
fun; the goblet is SO nice and hard"
he said.
Confiding little sister, nothing 10th,
did as she was bid, and in a moment
all that remained of her cherished pos
session also was broken to pieces.
Now, don't cry" said the brilliant
son of the house amiably, when all
was over. II did that on purpose, SO

selfish, so let's play policeman" And
play policeman they did until called to
account by the powers that are forever
interfering with them. = Baltimore

the ceremony which made an Elmo,

in wading through the gaping crowd
and extending congratulations some
of them being interested to the eX-

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. of
New York. explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard ar
ticle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other Cements for which similar
claims are made. out great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best material ever discover
ed and other manufacturers do not use
them. because they are too expensive ana
do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells
us that one of the elements of his cement
costs So rs pound. and another costs 81 65
a gallon, while large share OF the so-called
cements and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than SiXteen-cent glue.

cases altered slightly in color and OdOr by
the addition of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retailS At fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when deal
er tries to sell a substitute you can depend
upon it that that his only object is TO make
a large profit
The profit on Majors cement is as much
as any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
tit of Mr. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over $1,000 month, throughout
the country. Established in 1876.

CroDie Was a Beaten But Not 6
Crushed Foe.


The thing was CALAMITY done, and
we may all we'll be proud of this
achievement of the Canadians. An
examination of the lager disclosed a
state of affairs which it would be i'm
possible to describe. The wreckage
and confusion were bad enough, but
the filth and stencil were such as to
make one feel sick, says a London
News correspondent Within space
of 100 yards lay over forty dead
horses and a half dozen dead oxen.
Men themselves were only buried six
inches beneath the soil. No regard had
been paid to sanitary arrangements
at all. They drank the water within
few feet of a petrifying carcass.
Wounded men lay about uncared for,
their wounds undressed, left to look
after themselves. In most cases gan
creme had set in. Slight scratches,
which with ordinary care would have
entailed two days rest only, had de-
veloped, into huge liberated cancerous
sores. Our doctors, who took charge
of over two hundred such cases, de-
clare that nine-tenths must die. Com
pared to the horrible conditions under
which the Beers had for the past ten
days lived, cur fire was mere child's
play. 1t proves the indomitable pluck

Cronje. 1t was only the gen
eral who made the men hold
out so long. The prisoners
for most part seemed pleased when
taken. Cronje was sullen; a beaten
but not crushed foe. To us it felt like
death to remain five minutes in the
place where the Beers had spent ten
days. Ones stomach turned against
the fetid stencil of rotting bodies. For
a day one could not get the smell out
of ones nostrils. Yet the prisoners de-
clare that had it not been for the
Canadians getting so close to them
they would have held out for some
days yet; and with food it would have
been weeks before they would have
surrendered, it may be interesting 20
say that one prisoner told me that
they knew that we were longing to
wipe out Majuba, and that they
thought that if they allowed us to
charge with the bayonet none of them
would be allowed to live, even had they
shot our soldiers down by hundreds.

Good-By to the "Aryans.-

1t is no longer possible to think Of
any one such people as those who were
called the Aryans." The old method
of discovering what they were like
was to apply a kind of arithmetic to
the vOcabularies of the existing Ian
guages, and to call everything "Aryan"
which was contained in the greatest
common measure of these vocabula-
ries. Thus: All the nine branches
of language have the same word FOR
COW, cow in fact; ergo, the Aryans
possessed cows. and had reached at
least a pastoral stage of civilization"
Or again The majority of the nine
branches possess the word beech ergo,
their ancestors lived in a land of
beeches, and, therefore, somewhere
west of line drawn from Sweden TO
the Crimea." BY this simple method
a great many delightful habits were
ascribed to them; they had learned to
plow, to grind corn in mills. TO give
their sons and daughters in marriage,
and, in short. We're quite respectable
