Chamberlain,s Two Fads.

Long before the Transvaal trouble
the Right Honorable Joseph Cham
berlain, present minister of state for
the British colonies, was famous the
world over for two things: his
orchids and his monocle. His costly
collection of orchids is one of the
finest in the world. 1t is said that
once in Paris he saw a rare orchid,
the duplicate of one he had recently
added to his own collection. He asked
the price, Twenty thousand francs"
replied the dealer.
The Englishman paid the money,
and then, throwing the flower on
the floor, crushed it with his heel.
However reliable this incident may
be, the following is vouched for.
Since boyhood Mr.. Chamberlain has
worn a monocle. When the young
man first entered Parliament his
fame as a municipal reformer had
preceded him. Among the visitors
who were present on that occasion
were Lords Beaconsfeld and Carnar-
Won. The commOner had won his
election to the house by his vigorous
opposition to the great conservatives
methods. AS he came into the cham
Der Lord Carnavorn leaned forward
and said:
"Here comes young Chamberlain"
"Ah," replied Beaconstield, as he
took in the young man from tip to
toe.
"what do you think of him?"
"He wears his monocle like gen.
tleman." replied the premier.-Phila-
delphia Post.

A Name That Stumped the TaGals.

Major Samuel B. Jones of the regu-
lar army is now quartermaster at
Boston. He served with distinction
until recently in the Philippines.
A curious local custom in Luzon
authorizes a native to take and use
a foreign name, generally Spanish, in
addition to his own Tagal patrony-
mic. This accounts for the multi
tude of such sonorous names as "Ag-
ramonte," "Uriarte" and "Polobieja."
The major had won the gratitude
of a native, who announced his de-
termination to adopt the American
family name of Jones before it oc-
Cured to him that there is no
equivalent for 81" in either Spanish
or Tagal. He had it written out for
him by a soldier, to whom he gave
box of cigars for the trouble, and
then departed from the camp. Some
time afterward the native came into
camp and was addressed by his new
name. He looked worried and called
his interlocutor and explained to him
his troubles.
please don't call me by that
NAME" he said plaintively. "You see,
l took that written name home to
my village and showed it to my rela-
tives. They were very much pleased,
but when they tried to read it no
two pronounced it alike. Rather than
have trouble in the family 1 am look

Russian housekeeping.

An American lady rented richly
furnished house i'll St. Petersburg.
The walls were hung with beautiful
Persian rugs, and wide, low diyans
ran all round the drawing room. Be-
fore moving, the lady went to the
house to order a thorough cleaning,
ana she narrates her experience in
the Philadelphia Inquirer:
TO my amazement 1 found no bed
chambers. "But where did the family
sleep?" / asked the woman in charge.
."Oh, no place in particular" she
replied, quite as if that were matter
| of course; wherever they happened
to be when they were sleepy. Some
times in the drawing room, some
where, you see."
But didn't they take off their
cothes?" L gasped in horror. Seen
orally, but one doesn't need q bed
chamber for that. One just rings
for ser, Mt to bring some neglige
or night dres. and the same servant
takes away the clothes one drops off
and fetches a dCret t. spread over
4 l."
ss1hen took up the subject of
1O1secleaning, and suggested that all
eae rugs had better come down from
the walls and be thoroughly cleaned
and shaken before being hung again.
The servant was very dubious. They
had not been taken down. for years.
"All the more need for it, then,"
said /, and lifted one corner only to
drop it again with cry of disgust.
Behind these glowing colors and rich
d ,:gns were peacefully dwelling I'M
told thousands of beetles, reaches
and creeping things not to be named.
L gave one swift glance under the
divans, and, picking up my skirts, fled
for my life. Apparently for years
when the rooms had been swept,
everything had simply been pushed
under the convenient hiding places of
the divans, and my hasty inspection
showed an indescribable collection OF
dust, hair, moldy crusts, dirty gloves,
combs, broken glass, pins, handker-
chiefs - any and everything that
would ordinarily be found in an
American ash pan.
I finally realized that the whole IN
cident was very characteristic of
Russian civilization. They are a peo-
pie who say: "Give us the luxuries
of life, and we wont ask for the
necessities"

IN RIP VAN Wrinkles LAND.

In a Backward State.

In a Backward State.
The Portuguese colonies in Africa
are the Rip Van Wrinkles land Of real
ity. After three centuries of white
dominion they remain pretty much in
the condition in which Da Cana and
his bold successors left them.
Here is a picture Of what trade
means in the favored region of Cabin
da bay, where there Is a single white
trader who occupies a house of three
rooms, with a "shop" 20 feet by
attached. The place is stocked with
puncheons Of some vile stuff called
rum" which are exchanged for palm
kernels.
Knots Of natives from the interior
villages with loads of kernels begin
to present themselves at the shop by
a m, and when the trader at last
makes his appearance there Is a noisy
crowd Of kernel sellers and thirsty
hangers on.
The exchange of rum for kernels is
quickly effected, and by o'clock in
the morning the entire population may
be seen lying under the shelter Of the
cocoanut palms either stupidity drunk
or noisily quarreling.
The mingled uproar and snoring lasts
till about noon, when there Is a sud
den return to sobriety, and the crowd
clears away to the village to collect
the means for another carousal
On good" day the trader at, Ca
binda bay gets rid Of about 100 gal
Ions Of rum. and he AYERS that the
scene described is repeated every day
In the year.
Next to rum and "civilization" the
greatest curses Of West Africa are
smallpox and the sleeping sickness
From this last no case Of recovery
has ever been known, and so con
tagious is it that in the native Chris

THE SERGEANT'S GOLD.
1t Never Reached the could Folks al
HOme.o

1t Never Reached the could Folks al
HOme.'
Surgeon General Sternberg told q
good story once of an experience he
had in the civil war. He said that
when he was going into the battle OF
Bull Run the Irish sergeant major OF
his regiment came to him with a big
bag Of gold coin weighing three or
four pounds and said:
Doctor, | know that I'm to be kilt
entirely, an l want you to take care
of this money an see that it gets to
the ould folks at home"
There was no time to demonstrate or
to make any other arrangement, and,
dropping the bag into the surgeons
lap, the Irishman hurried away to his
place at the head of the column. All
through two bloody days DIR. Stern
berg carried that bag of gold with his
surgical instruments, and 1t was a bur-
den and an embarrassment to him. He
tried to get rid Of 1t, but couldn't find
any one willing to accept or even to
share the responsibility, and he
couldn't throw'it away for the sake of
the "ould folks at home"
Toward the close Of the second day
the surgeon was taken prisoner He
lost his surgical instruments and his
medicine case, but chung to the gold,
and. making n belt of his necktie and
handkerchief, tied 1t around his waist
next to his skin to prevent it's confisca-
ton by his captors. During the long,
hot and weary march that followed the
goldpieces chafed his flesh, and his
waist became so sore and blistered as
to cause him intense suffering, but he
was bound that the "ould folks at
home" should have the benefit Of that
money and by the exercise Of great
caution and patience managed to keep
1t until he was exchanged with other
prisoners and got back to Washington.
There he found his regiment in camp,
and one Of the first men to welcome
him was the Irish sergeant major, who
was so delighted to learn that the doc
tor had saved his money that he got
drunk and gambled 1t all away the
first night.-Chicago Record.
