Ladies'.

A Louisville girl, who was recently in
Germany, met young English officer who
was in the same city, and, in fact, in the
same house with her for two months, study
ing German for his promotion. Like most
Europeans he had the usual absurd ideas
about the girle of this country, who, in the
minds of the untraveled foreigner, are rather
hoyden creatures who smoke and have other
masculine traits.
After dinner one day, in the early &C.
quaintance of the couple, the officer offered
the Louisville girl cigarette, and, upon her
refusing it, he said:
"Why, thought all the girls in the
United States smoked.
$50 we do" replied the girl, "but never
cigarettes; only pipes. II you will get that
pipe off the mantelpiece in the next room
shall be charmed to smoke with you"
Not suspecting the joke she was playing
on him, the officer brought the pipe and
filled it, and it was not until he saw the wry
faces his friend made in attempting to carry
out the joke that he appreciated the, situa.
ton. He was continually telling the Ameri.
can in tone of surprise that she was just
like the girls at home in England, and her
rejoinder was:

Beach, while I leaned against the wall.
But l had no idea of stretching my
self or even seating myself in the pres
ence of the commanding general, though
it was his exalted position rather than
his commanding appearance that de-
tered me. He was sitting sidewise, one
arm over the back of the chair, his
hands clasped negligently, his legs
crossed, boots undiscovered, the pri-
Yates overcoat he wore thrown open,
showing bit of wooden shirt under his
chin. In his mouth was the ever pres
ent cigar. He had come at Gen. Heath's
request to hear the evidence in the dis
puted question as to where Gen. Long
street had gone, and to decide what
should be done with Margaret Beach.
At signal from the general-in-chief
that he was ready to listen, Margaret
and Georgia came forward, and Gen.
Heath spoke:

the climax came when the soldiers ar

"They were all got up in steel caps

other day CHANGED to give man a
Transvaal half-crown, which, as one
would naturally expect, bears the image
and superscription of President Kru-
ger. The man brought it back to the
pay table and said to the captain:
''Please, sir, you've given me bad
half-crown." The officer took the coin
without looking at it. rang it on the
table, and then remarked: 1T sounds
all right, Bagster. What's wrong with
it?' ''You look at it, SIR" was the re-
ply. The captain glanced at the coin.

ISLANDS WITHOUT OWNERS.
A Good Opportunity for n Govern.
ment That Has Lighthouses
to Spare.

A series of low pyramidal masses
appeared under the southern sky. It
was like bank of blue fog fringed
Of our seabcard formed an ill-defined,
cloudlike aggregation resting on the
black water and extending the entire
length from northeast to southwest.
AS we steamed out, the center groups
became more distinct and the whole
line rose above the horizon, where we
recognized it as the northern exposure
of the South Shetland islands. Dur
ing the afternoon a gentle but pier
cling wind came from the land, bring
ing with it a CLASSY air and an easy,
silvery sea, over which the new land
stood out in bold relief. We could dis
tinguish Livingston island over our
port bow, and northward, melting in
to the blue airy distance, were numer-
Gus similar islands. Over our star
board bow was Smith island, it's base
still under the water 60 miles away.
In general way this coast line re-
sembles parts of the Greenland land
scape. About the largest islands there
are many small, ice-free isles or rocks,
which are the resting places of seals,
penguins, cormorants and gulls. On
the larger islands, and especially on
Livingston island, there are high peaks
and rounded, domelike hills, which are
tipped with snow, but their sides are
bare. The valleys are filled with large
glaciers, which send tongues out into
the sea. We saw no glaciers, however,
which came out for any distance into
the water. The limit of the ice was
generally at high-water mark, where
it wasted away in small fragments.
There was no snow on the costal low
lands, but there was also nothing to
indicate vegetation. From what we
later learned of the lands farther
south, it is extremely possible that
MOSES and lichens are here abundant,
but there is no hope for grass or
trees.
1t is very curious that this group
of islands, about 100 in number, with
a thousand miles of accessible coast
line and several good harbors, free of
ice for much of the year, should re-
main unclaimed by any government
and unsettled by human efforts. It
would be a humane mission of our
government would take possession of
this group of islands and place there

the preservation of shipwrecked sail
ors. Vessels are lost in this vicinity
almost every year, and we do not

olate islands, awaiting the relief
which never comes.-Frederick A.

DAYsREAk ON THE FARM.

There are songs for those who listen
Just at daybreak, on farm,
While the dewdrops glow and glisten
And the dawn-clouds add their charm.
Gentle lowings from the stable.
While the patient cattle wait
For the filling of their table;
Plaintive bleatings from the gate.
Where the sheep have focked together;
Merry cackling from the pens,
Where in spite of wind or weather
Music fills the Threats of hens.
There are neighings low and tender.
There are whinnies of delight,
And the pigs their tribute render
For another peaceful night.
There are songs for those who love them.
Potent both to cheer and charm
All about, below, above them
Just at daybreak on the farm.
