A Peculiar Tree,

Among its many peculiarities South
Africa includes the ''sneezewood' tree,
which takes 1t name from the fact that
one cannot cut or saw 1t without sneex-
Ing, as the fine dust has exactly the
same effect Of snufr. Even In planning
the wood It. will sometimes cause
sneezing. No insect, worm or barnacle
will touch 1t. 1t Is very bitter to the
taste, and Its specific gravity is heavier
than water. The color is light brown,
the grain very close and hard. 1t Is a
nlce-looking wood and takes good pol
ish. For dock work, piers and jetties
1t is n useful timber, lasting long
while under water.

Ruasin's Pioneers,

The Cossacks are the arms and legs
Of Russia, while the moujik is the
backbone. The Cossacks won Siberia
for Russia when they We're the daring
fringe of her population, grown adven-
turous and warlike by their frequent
conflicts with the Tartars who crowd
ed Russia's borders. In them concen-
trated the enterprise and aggressive
ness which the moujik lacks. They cut
the path and the moujiks followed, and
the descendants OF these hardy pio-
neers live throughout Siberia today,
forming hereditary military caste. So
strict are the laws Of heredity among
the Cossacks that 1t Is almost impos-
sible for an officer who was not born
one to obtain n commission in a Cos
sack regiment.

shady trees mitigate climatic condi-

rain showers. Leaves generate oxygen
and absorb noxious gases. forming a
natural antidote to grievances OF
crowded cities. Shade trees prevent
sunstroke and they also prevent
ophthalmia. the curse of lower Egypt
and Southern Italy. Where there are
no trees the glare Of the sun on the

An Interesting relic Of the lake
dwellers of Ireland has just been added
to the Science and Art Museum of
Dublin In the form of crannog, or ele-

bog-filled lake near Enniskillen and
measures over 100 feet in diameter. On
removing the peat the piles Of platform

cross -timbering was admirably done,
untrImmed birch trees being chiefly

CHAPTER ".

Paul Enderby had sat in perfect ST.
lence listening to the full, rich voice
of Sir Henry-that voice which went
SO far in convincing juries-as he re-
lated the chief points OF the case. He
remembered it, though the particulars
had passed from his memory long
since.
But as Sir Henry went on. strange,
formless doubts, and half-formed
ideas began to float dimly through
Paurs mind like the dark, shadowy
forms of bats fitting through some
darkened and deserted barn. He could
hardly formulate them. or give them
a name in his own mind; but they dis
turbed him vaguely. and filled him
with a strange foreboding.
When at last he raised his face,
which had been bent over his fruit
plate, his eyes fell first, not on Sir
Henrys face, but on that of Doctor
Lyndon. whose cold, grey eyes were
fixed on him with strange. expect
ant expression. There was some
thing in it which sent curious
shudder through Enderby; yet he felt
irritated the next moment at his own
absurd sentimentality.
He turned to Sir Henry.
"You are more than good, Sir Hen
nv. / do not know how can thank
you for your generosity in thinking
of me. OF course, you can count on
me. II YOU think l am able to under
take the responsibility"
"There is no rising young barrister
at the bar today to whom 1 would
sooner trust the conducting OF the
case. than to you, Enderby." said Sir
Henry, graciously. Il have very
high opinion of your talents"
Enderby's heart beat high as he re-
,oined Cecil in the drawing room. This

Sporting SQuibS

A MERICA'S prospects for secur-
~ ing the Olympic games in 1904
seem to be excellent, and the
numberless lovers of good healthy ath-
letics in this country, hail the advent
of the games with delight.
When the ancient Olympic games
were revived in '96, and held at Athens,
no country took a greater interest in
the sports or contributed more to their
success than this country and it seems
hitting that the United States should
soon be favored with this grand car
nival Of athletes of all nations.

Will relinquish his prior claim and
concede the game to Jonathan.
There is no doubt but that a keener
interest will be taken in the sports if
held on American soil, than in any
other country, for IT Is doubtful If
there is a nation on earth which takes
| the interest in athletics that Americans
do. England alone can be mentioned
in the same breath with the states i'm
the matter OF admiration for athletics
and athletes.
And now we begin to hear the first
notes of the approaching football cam

Among the PugS

THERE will be a fight that will be
a battle worth the seeing, when
McGovern and Joe Cans meet IL
the match can ever be made Two
of the greatest little fighters in
the country will come together in the
ring and for ten rounds do their best
to put each other out of the game.
McGovern will be handicapped in that
his opponent will weigh in at l33
pounds, at least five pounds more of
avoirdupols than the chunky little
Brooklynite will carry, and to offset
this advantage in weight Cans is
compelled to knock Terry out in less
than ten rounds. If at the conclu-
sion of this limited number of rounds
MCGovern still is on his feet he wins
the title of victor and the lions share
of the purse. Al Herford, Cans man
ager, is trying to arrive at satisfac-
tory arrangements with Sam Harris,
who looks after Terry, and has all
ready his posting Of $1,000 forfeit.
John l.. Sullivan, despite his fall
from the lofty pinnacle on which he
formerly reigned supreme, is still the
idol of the sporting people. Champ
ions may come and champions may
go. Fitzsmmons can wrest the proud
title of king bruiser from Corbett and
then lose it to the raw giant from the
west, Jeffries, and now again make a
bid for it, but none Of the present gem
