GOT WHAT HE WANTED.

A western preachers idea of the
first pair. In the beginning God
created man. and man created
great roar because there was no
one to help him cook and wash
dishes. One night after man had
been hard at work fixing water
gaps and setting out sweet potato
slips, he fell into a deep sleep,
when one of his front ribs was ex-
tracted and woman created there
from, with instructions to take
charge of the ranch, which she
promptly did. She bathed mans
side with mustang liniment,
patched his fly leaf trousers and
coppered his small change before
she closed her eyes in sleep. In
the early morning while man yet
snored, she arose, prepared the
grub, and punched the man in the
side with battling stick, and yelled
breakfast is ready Man was
so surprised that he gave great
big jump and fell entirely through
his bedstead. When he saw that
it was not Iedians, and found out
what woman could do III the way
of cooking, he straightway made
a proposition to give her a quit
claim to half the earth if she would
become a partner III the business.
The proposition was accepted, and
if they ever had any trouble it
never come up in the divorce
courts.

On Reading Aloud.

1t is distinct loss that reading Is so
badly taught and that so few people
know anything about the magic of the
poets in their use of sound. We read
almost excessively with the eye, al
though poetry is primarily intended
for the ear. Shakespeare wrote almost
exclusively for the ear. and we remain
unmoved by the wonderful vibration
OF his great passages until we hear
them.
Poetry ought always 10 be heard first
and read afterward. If the best OF
Browning is sympathetically and intel
ngently interpreted by the voice, the
much discussed obscurity is not In evil
dence. Many people find, for instance,
a little difficulty in getting the clear
and full significance of 1.-The Portrait
Of the Last Duchess" when they read
it for the first time, but it fastens itself
instantly on the Imagination if it is
well read.
A good deal of time now devoted to
commentaries and text study might
profitably be given to reading the text
aloud without note or comment. a
work Of art slowly discloses its full
meaning, and familiarity with it is the
first condition of comprehension

Expense of Target Practice.

a single big gun of the many now
being put in place for the protection of
seacOasts costs large sum. Some in
teresting figures on this subject have
just been submitted, says The Scien-
titic American.
A IL inch breechloading rife, with
its disappearing carriage, costs SAL
600, a 10 inch breechloader $99,250
and an s inch $4,000. The figures
show that modern high powered guns
cost great sums, and the cost of firing
them is proportionately large.
The report of experts who have in
spected these guns and the devices for
securing an accurate aim shows that
great saving is effected by modern
range finding and position finding de-
vices.
THE demoralizing effect of a hit as
compared to n miss" said one of these
reports, cannot be reduced to n money
value, but it costs big money to shoot
gun and then miss the mark.
Take, for example, the IL inch gun.
To miss the mark is simply to throw
away S561.7O. With the 10 inch gun
the loss is $780,. 40. and with the inch
rifle it is S16465."

HUNTING FOR ANDREE.a

Another effort to discover some clew
to the fate of Andree will be made this
summer. The National Geographic
Magazine states that the Swedish Rus
sian expedition which will leave this
month for Spitzbergen 10 relieve the
party that is at present engaged in the
work of measuring an arc of the meri-
dian in that latitude plans to make a
detour TO King Charles Land and care
fully search the entire neighborhood.
1t will be remembered that in Septem-
Der of last year L buoy was picked up
on the north coast OF King Charles
Land at so degrees north latitude and
% degrees east longitude marked AN
dree's Polar Expedition" When taken
to Stockholm and opened, it proved TO
be what Andree had called 1.-The north
pole buoy" and in which he was to
place a message when he passed the
north pole. However, a microscopical
examination of the interior could dis
cover no message. As the buoy could
not have drifted TO King Charles Land
from the neighborhOod of the pole the
only conclusion possible is that it was
part of the wreckage of the expedi-
ton and that possibly more wreckage
may be found near by.-Nature.

Blacks Have Few Rights.

Under the Transvaal laws no black
man does or can own a foot OF land:
There is NO place in all its wide terri
tory where a black man can lie down
in house that he can call his own.
There is not Il place from which he
might not be elected at the shortest or
no notice at all. The locations spoken
of in the treaty refer to large tracts of
land capable of supporting the natives.
In the small colony of Natal more than
100000 acres have been vested in
trustees and set apart for the exclusive
occupation of natives. 1t was consid-
cred but right that the original inhabit-
ants should have n share of the coun-
try given them. But il is not so in the
Transvaal. If any native tribes are al
lowed to occupy any portion, it is only
on sufferance, and they are liable at
any time to be driven out, some excuse
being trumped up for making war up
on them, as was the case in recent
campaigns against the natives. Small
portions of land are marked off near
the towns, but these are for the natives
WHO are in service in the towns, and
even here a native can get only n
sQuatting right to Il piece of ground
90 by 80 feet or less and is liable to be
removed at any time.-Independent

snubbIne Spelling Reformers.

The London Academy has admins
tered snub to spelling reformers,
American and English, by reminding
them that new spelling will be initiated
by writers, not by schoolmasters and
photographers. The instances of or
biographical misfit adduced suggest
that the efforts of +. Benjamin An
drews are present to the mind of the
English critic. But President Andrews
is typical OF a class. The reformers
are, it seems, going at it like carpen-
ter with his plane with the intention of
making a smooth, dead level of words
that have all the interesting variety of
association and the sharpest difference
in meaning. To make night and knight
indistinguishable to the eye opens up
prospect of torture in searching out old
verbal friends that one does not like to
contemplate. Then, as The Academy
suggests, how shall we manage by, bye
and buy and thousand others? The
persistence of this craze is unaccounta-
ble.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiSer.
