r. Ruoff, who left the Transvaal last
May for a our of Europe and America,
has gone to Milwaukee to inspect the
breweries. In regard to labor condi-
tons in the Boer country, he said to a
reporter for the Detroit Tribune: 'One
of the mines in the copper country will
turn out as much work as five Of our
men. We have to employ Kafir labor.
Kaf1rs are VIGOROUSLY lazy, and they
require constant supervision or they
will quit altogether. With every five
Kafirs one white man is employed.
One hole drilled with a hand drill is
considered a days stint for a Kafir.
Although our employees do not get as
much pay individually as the miners

more, because n Of the copper coun-
try miners will do as much work as five

a right to demand an inspection of his

James Whitcomb Riley's success be-
gan with what he considered a terrible
misfortune. He tells his friends that
the day on which he was discharged
from the staff of the Indianapolis Jour
nal was one of the darkest of his life.
The future seemed to hold nothing for
him, says the Chicago Times-Herald.
1t happened, however, that a state po-
litical convention was held in Indian
apolis at about that time, and among
the nominees was q very portly gentle
man who had never made a public
speech. The convention called for him
after he had been nominated, and when
he appeared upon the platform q
| speech was demanded. He cleared MS
throat, stood on one foot and then on
the other, and said: Gentlemen OF
the convention: I thank you for the
honor you have given me. / can't
make a speech, but l can tell you n
thing. The ticket you've nominated
here today is a-goin' to win When the
frost is on the pun'kin and the corn Is
in the shock"
The uproar which followed indicated
that Riley's poem, first published only
a few days before, had been read by
everybody present, and that it had
touched a tender spot. This circum-
stance more than anything else in
duced the business manager of the
Journal, who was Riley''s steadfast
friend, to undertake in partnership
with the poet to have q little book,
"The Old swimmin' Hole and 'LeVen
More Poems" published. 1t made an
immediate hit ana gave Riley q IA
tional reputation.

A TIDAL BORE.
The Famous Wave at the Head of tho
Bay of Fundy and How to See It.

Bay of Fundy and How to See IL.
The Bay of Fundy is known to the
world chiefly on account of its tides,
which rise to an immense height, sew
enty feet having been recorded. AS
these tides reach the head of the bay
and are forced up the Petticodiac r1v-
er, the conditions are such as to form
the front into an almost perpendicular
wall ofAwater termed a bore" rms
formation is a grand and exciting
spectacle. and interest in the phenom-
enon is increasing. Large numbers OF
American tourists, scientific men and
others visit the locality to admire it's
effects and study its causes. About
nineteen miles from the mouth of the
Petticodiac, at a point commonly known
as the bend" the river takes a turn
almost at right angles to it's previous
course. Immediately above the bend
and on the line of the Intercolonial
railway is situated Moncton. The run
Of the rising tide first breaks into a
bore at Stony Greek, eight miles below
Moncton. At first it is scarcely notice
able, but it gradually grows until at
the bend it about reaches it's maximum
height. The wharves of Moncton are
thus the most popular positions from
which to view this interesting phe-
nomenon, says Self-Culture. The aver
age interval from the arrival of one
bore to the arrival Of the next is about
twelve hours and twenty-five minutes,
SO that the average retardation from
day to day is about fifty minutes. But
"his boreship" is e~rratic, and the daily
retardation may be anywhere from for
ty minutes to an hour. The best time
to see the bore is during the full moons
OF August. September or October, and
if the visitor would see this natural
wonder in its most beautiful aspect, let
him choose a bright moonlight night,
rather than the daytime. Under such
favorable circumstances a crowd Of
four or FIVE hundred people, n day
last fall, witnessed the arrival of the
bore. The schedule time for it's ar
rival, given by the local newspapers,
was 800 o'clock. At 9:12 the ex-
pectant crowd on Moncton's wharves
heard a noise easily d~istinguishable as
the rush of distant waters. This grew
louder as the bore Approached and
rounded the bend, and at 9:22, two
minutes later than the schedule time,
there appeared in full view of the spec
tators an almost perpendicular wall OF
water, five or six feet in height, rush
the stream. In some places along the
head Of the bore the water, beaten into
a foam by its own violence, sparkled
in the moonlight, while along the shore
the mud ploughed from the bank made
the water almost black. The contras
was beautiful.

CAT CAUSED
A Woman to Faint because She Thought
1t Was a Burglar.

Tt Was a Burglar.
Philadelphia Inquirer: '"That was q
funny incident that happened the other
Finest" that burglar cat, I mean the
cat being mistaken for a burglar. But
l remember a much more serious mat
ter thar that resulting from the ap-
p%earance of a cat at a window of the
house of a friend of mine living in
Brooklyn. One evening in the winter
of 1892 my friends wife was sitting in
the back parlor on the ground floor
waiting for her husband to come home
to tea. 1t was quite dusk, out she had
not lighted the lamp and was doing a
little dreaming, I suppose. Something
happened, and when my friend let him
self in with his latch-key he found his
wife on the floor in a dead faint. He
did all he knew to bring her back to
consciousness, unsuccessfully, and
finally had to leave her and run out
for a doctor, who, fortunately, lived
only a couple of doors away. After a
lot of trouble the doctor resuscitated
her, but she Immediately became hys-
ter1cal n went off again. In her
Mysteries she kept calling out that
there was a man trying to get in at the
window. The next day she described
him as a man with a rough fur cap
and a beard and striped coat; that's
all she could tell, and as it was so dark.
He tried to break the window, but
when she shrieked and fell in a faint
he must have been frightened and
escaped. OF course, the story was
pooh-poohed, but the lady insisted she
was right. Two days later my friend
went home and found her again uncon-
scious. This time she was sc seriously
frightened that it was several days be-
for she was able to attend to her house
duties, and her mother came to stay
with her. Another two days passed.
There had been no further attempt on
the part of any man to break in. The
mother had persuaded her daughter to
take a nap, saying she would prepare
tea, and she went down stairs to do so.
1t was a little later thanausual, and my
friend was already due home. In Fact,
he had the key in the keyhole, VIXEN
his ears were saluted by a series OF
piercing shHeks. He rushed into the
house and found his mother-in-law in
a faint and his wife gibbering like an
idiot and pointing at the window, on
the sill outside of which sat a huge
Angora cat with one paw up at the
pane; 1t was nearly two years before
his wife recovered her reason"

DRIVING TO THELEFT
AWKWARD METHODS IN VOGUE
IN CANADA.
Still Cling to the Old World Methods
-Americans Driving in That Country
Have a Mighty Risky Time of IA
Victim Unbosoms Himself. y

Though I knew from experience
that keeping to the left was the rule
of the road in England" observed a
well-known horseman to a Washing
ton Star reporter, II did not know that
rule prevailed in Canada until week
before last, when l took a short drive
on the outskirts of Toronto. l have
been a horseman for many years and
know the rules of the road pretty well,
but I had considerable difficulty to
keep out of trouble there, l assure you.
A friend loaned me a nice turnout
which had rather a free stopper in the
harness. At the first turnout l natur-
ally turned to the right in passing.
The man l met was pretty well fixed
also in the way of a horse, and the
first thing I knew we came together IN
splash-bang style, the result OF 1t be-
ing that I lost a wheel and got pitched
out into the road. 1 supposed, or
course, that he would turn to the right
and he supposed for similar reasons,
for he thought from the kind OF a
horse that l was driving that | knew
what l was about, that l would turn to
the left. Mutual explanations fol-
lowed, but I was the loser in the trans
action, for l felt obliged to have the
mishap fixed at my expense. An
American driving in Canada is, as a
consequence, in one continued worry,
for it matters not how clever n is
with the reins, it is extremely hard to
unlearn the rule which obtains in this
country of keeping to the right. The
Canadians have an argument to prove
that they are right in the matter and
that keeping to the left is much safer
in the way of preventing collisions on
the road, but I could not understand
it, and three days later | had a similar
trouble happen in Quebec, though in
that case it was the other team that
got the worst of it. Still it was just as
annoying to me, though not as ex-
pensive. 1t is the same thing with
foot passengers and bicycles, and the
American wheelmen have a hard time
in consequence of it.; collisions being
frequent and in some instances very
dangerous. The Canadians may be
right about it, but, just the same, no
American can ever get it in his head
thoroughly that they are. The Cana
dams drive from the right side of the
team, as we do, and the whip socket is
on the right, but all the rest of it is
to the left"

An Aversion.

prudent man,
And let the story teller do the very
best he can,
Provided in a straight and proper path
he will persist
not go round the corners in a
labyrinthlan twist,
I'll tolerate his gossip whether tragid
or absurd,
Save what he heard somebody heard
somebody say he heard"
I'll let him tell of interviews, and
speak no word of blame,
With the nan who, "for good reasons
will not give the world his name
But there | draw the line. No moral

My Difference to a rumor which comes

Since families and nations to their
worst mistakes are stirred
By what he heard somebody heard

Chicago engineers are designing an
earthquake-proof steel palace for the
crown prince of Japan. 1t will mark
the advent of American steel construc-
ton in the Mikado's land, and the i'm
perial government has appropriated
s. 5000, 900 for it's erection. Founda-
tons are being laid with a view to
rearing the framework in February.
Around the skeleton of beams and bars
will be built q house of granite and
marble expected to eclipse in beauty
of design anything the orient has ever
known. The palace will adjoin the
royal home Of the Mikado in Tokyo,
and it will spread to extreme dimen-
sions Of 270 by 400 feet, rising to a
height of sixty feet. The architectural
plans partake of the French renais-
sance.

Marha me suppossd BOer Spy.

President Kruger demands ON penalty
of the execution OF six British officers,
is a nephew of Samuel Marks Of Pre-
toria. the concessionRaire of the Hath

Kruger's confidential advisers. The
commercial interests of the elder
Marks in Natal are such that his
nephew makes frequent trips to that
colony, and it is supposed that because
of this fact, he was employed by the
Transvaal government to report upon
the condition and arrangement of the
British forces. The influence Of Sam
uel Marks with President Kruger Is SO
great that the threat to execute six
of the English officers is doubtless
made at his request. 1t is not con
| sidered likely that business interests
would be pressing enough to induce
Natan Marks to venture into Natal
while war was actually in progress.

OF even old men should not take to
cycling, but it should be with a frank
recognition of the limitations which
age imposes. Great speed, long dis
