joys the distinction of having raised
more money for charitable purposes
than any other girl Of her age in
America Shejis only 49,, and has for
some years past been engaged in en-
tertsining select circles with songs
and impersonation. At six years of
age she attracted public attention by
her remarkable musical gifts, being
engaged at that time to sing at a re-
ception at the white house, Washing
ton, D. c., by President and Mrs.

has appeared in entertainments at
the white house and has been con-
stantly engaged in giving songs and
recitals during the II years past.
Miss Nudge hes been specially noted
for her warm interest In charity
work, and two beautiful gold medals
have been given her in ecommemora-
ton of her services In this direction,
one by her society and professional
friends and the other. set with 6a-
monds, by the New York press. She

ing given more to the poor than any
other girl Of her age in the country.
Her latest achievement il the rendi-
ton. in a Stonewah Jackson suit and
hat. of the famous poem, Barbara

accomplishments. The musical set
ting enables her the free use of rich
contralto voice. Miss Nudge is q

The Kamr's Wives.

Of cattle he may be able to acquire.
He works for a couple of years until
he can get II oxen or cows. Then he
HES himself to the Zululand on the
east or to other countries controlled by
black men and there buys himself a
wife. Ten cows is the price of wife.
The eleventh is killed for the wedding
feast. The Kafir remains a few
months with his wife, then off to the
mines he goes to earn the price Of an
other.
When he possesses half a dozen
wives, the Kaff1r's mental toll is over,
and he becomes a gentleman. His
wives plant the mealy (corn) and look
after what cattle their lord and master
owns. With kraal full Of daughters
the Kaffir must become a rich and i'm

Old Handles ON New Umbrellas.


SIT is not unusual" said an umbrella
dealer, "for a person to use the same
handle on more than one umbrella,
having it shifted from wornout UNI
brella to a new one. The handle thus
shifted might be valuable one, too
costly to throw away, or it might be an
inexpensive one that just suited the
carrier. Many people are particular
about the handle of an umbrella, as to
it's size and shape, and thus want one
that just suits them if they can get it.
They may run across such an umbrella
and buy it, or they may search for II
and find it, and when the umbrella to
which it is attached wears out then
very likely they have the handle of the
new umbrella that they buy taken of
and the old handle, that they like, sub
stituted for it"-New York Sun.
