steyn's Cyrano Courtship.

President Steyn, of the Orange
Free State, took for a wife Miss Fra
ser, who was the belle of Bloemfon-
tein. This was many years ago, when
the great Africander was n poor,
struggling law student and clerk.
Miss Fraser's parents were very proud
and well-to-do and did not favor the
match. Steyn made love and wrote
love letters by proxy, choosing o
prominent young farmer as the 60
between. Every day, sometimes
twice a day, Miss Fraser and the
farmer would take long walks and
rides together. Bloemfontein made
up its mind that Steyn had been cut
out, when the law student returned
from Europe, where he had taken his
degree. Gossip rose to fever heat
when the news came that Steyn had
called upon the farmer. Everybody
was certain that duel was about to
come off. A short time passed in
which everyone was on the qui vive.
Disappointment was nothing to the
feeling which was created when, in
stead of duel, there was the we'd
ding of Steyn and Miss Fraser, with
the farmer as the first groomsman.-

Effective Entertainments.

With regard to the Boer entrench.
ments, it may be noted that, according
to the reports of Boer prisoners, the
comparatively small effect produced
by the English artillery fire is largely
owing to the trenches being made in
the form of the letter S instead of in
the straight lines adopted by European
armies. This pattern, which has been
borrowed by the Beers from old Basuto
methods, affords, it is said, both freer
movement and greater protection.
Many of our present ideas with re-
gard to entertainments have been learnt
from the Turks. -London Mail,

Under the new Samoan treaty the
United States becomes the possessor
of a small island in the South Pacific
Ocean, situated about $50 miles south
of the equator. For some fifteen
years past we have had a more or less
sentimental regard for this island, be-
cause it was here that our Govern
ment had acquired from q native chief
lease OF part OF the shore Of d harbor
on which to establish a coaling station.
The harbor was the only one in the
Samoan group IN which vessels could
lie safely during hurricane, such as
occasionally visits the group, and its
only drawback was that 1t was almost
wholly. inaccessible on the lapdward
side. Now and then, but at long
intervals. en- American man -of-wat
has called at this harbor, but it may
be doubted whether any OF the crews
ever attempted to climb the almost
precipitcus hills that wall in the
placid sheet of landlocked water which
the natives call Pago-Pago. The ISL
and of Tutuila is by far the least known
OF the three main islands that form |
the group of Samoa. 1t lies about |
thirty miles south of the other two, on
which alone Europeans or Americans
have settled, either as planters or
traders, and excepting the hhrbor OF
Pago-Pago on the southeast, and a
small bay known as Leone, near the
northwest corner, it possesses no placa

smallest trading vessels.
The general appearance of Tutuila,
Ike that of all the volcanic islands of
the South Pacific, is very beautiful.
As we entered the passage, from
twenty to thirty five miles broad, be-
tween the islands, every eye scanned
he sh ores, under the impression that
5he schooner would be found lying at
some point under the lee of the land.
There was, however, no sign of sail.
On either side the land rose high and
broken, clothed from shore to sum-
nit in the luxuriant vegetation of the
ropical islands, and as we proceeded
It half-speed through the passage il
became moro and more evident that
or some reason our tender had not
arrived. We had reached the eastern
md and cleared both islands before
my solution of the difficulty presented
tself, but then very small cutter

Affirming I,rhlbilion.

In June next year it will be SOC
years since the birth of Johann Gut.
enberg, who invented the art of print.
ing with movable type. 1t is not as
matter Of fact, exactly known when
he was born, but for the sake Of con-
venience it is assumed that the inter
esting event occurred in June, 400.
That time will do as well as any
other, and must be pretty nearly cor.
rect, says the Minneapolis Times.
That he was born in the German city
Of Mayence, on the Rhine, is not dis.
puted, and in that city the fifth cente.
nary of lis birth will be celebrated
next year by an international printing
exhibition. Nothing could be more
fitting. The main features of the ex.
hibition have already been agreed on.
There will be an historical section
comprising specimens of printed mat
ter from all nations for every year
since the time of Gutenberg, together
with the presses and other machines
marking the progress of the world in
this most useful art. There is to be
a machinery section showing every.
thing in connection with the mechani.
cal departments of the best printing
establishments in operation. There
will also be a display of fine engrav.
ing and other products of the art.
Finally it is the purpose of the pro-
moters to found in Mayence a perma.
nent Gutenberg museum. 1t is ex-
pected that many who visit the Paris
Exposition will go to Mayence also
for the purpose of studying the great
object lesson on the progress made in
the printing trades.

The New Hats.

Tt is in the new hats and small bon.
nets that the greatest departure will
Immediately take place. While the
cry of the fashionables 10 for the fur
toques with plumes Of malines and
brussels net, still the we'll versed real.
ize that that is no longer new story
from the highest standpoint, though
it may be from the popular fashiona-
BILE standpoint.
A Partisan authority OF undoubted
position shows a maline toque in
which are twined small ermine tails in
black and white, the maline being
white. The tails run horizontally
around the hat and are placed at in.
tervels between the maline, but show.
ing the fur distinctly. The hat is
unique and peculiar. The great ten
dency Of the moment Is toward lower
crowns, fatter hats and smaller dame
ters.
Hats will undoubtedly turn back
ward from the face, many strings will
come into use and big neck bows of
malines net, lace and other materials
will quickly come to the front. The
Empire following, while not strong,
is surely coming.
The lats that best suit the confined
outlines of costume Of to-day are the
small affairs, either low or with tall
crowns. Dry Goods Economist.
