A BOER COURTSHIP.

There is something comic in the way
boer manages his love-making, says
an exchange. Having asked the per-
mission of his father to court certain
damsel in the neighborhood he pro-
eeeds to buy the most strikinglydec-
GRATED and loudly-colored saddle cloth
for his steed that he can possibly OBJ
tain. Having made his preparations he
mounts his most spirited horse and
journeys to the ladys home, but in
stead of seeking out the object of his
affections he respectfully asks leave
of her father to court her The old
man cautiously refrainS from answer
ing, but consults his wife, and the
youth joins the younger members of
the household. No further notice is
taken of the sutton for the rest of the
day, but if the parents approve, when
the rest of the household retire for the
night the mother solemnly approaches
the young man and maiden with long
tallow candle in her hand. This she
places on the table and lights, and
then, having taken an affectionate
farewell of the couple, she retires. This
is sign to the lover that his suit is
acceptable. AS long as the candle lasts
the young couple are allowed to sit up
and talk.

furthermore, that all was made at once
without natural process, and have
remained substantially unchanged
ever since. This is the old doctrine of
the supernatural origin and substan-
tial permanency of the earth and it's
features. Among intelligent and es-
pecially scientific men this doctrine
even in the eighteenth century, began
to be questioned, although not pub
licly; for in 1851 Button was compelled
by the Sorbonen to retract certain
views concerning the age of the
earth, published in his Natural His
tory in 1749. Remnants of the old be-
lief fingered even into the early part
OF the present century, and may even
yet be found hiding away in some of
the remote corners of civilized coun-
tries. But with the birth of geology
and especially through the work of
Hutton in Scotland, Cuvier in France,
and William Smith in England, the
much greater-the conceivably great
antiquity of the earth and the origin
OF its present forms, by gradual
changes which are still going on, was
generally acknowledged Indeed, as
already said, this is the fundamental
idea OF geology, without which it
could not exist as science.-From

SCHOOL TO BE PROUD OF.

One day this week a group of
school girls were coming home from
school when they heard harsh words
and hard blows. As they looked up
they saw a coal team heavily loaded,
with wheel in the gutter, and the
horse unable to move it. The driver,
with a quick stroke, was belaboring
the poor beast and using language that
was not scriptural nor classical 1t
made the girls afraid. One of them, how
ever, called out, What is he whipping
that poor horse for? I'll see to it,
The angry driver sneeringly replied,
you'll see to it.
The young girl was in no way
daunted and replied, eyes, I'll see to
it" and going round the curb to- find
out the number of it, as we'll as the
name of the firm, continued, And if
you do not stop I'll report you also"
This quieted the cowardly fellow, and
he Gained down, put his shoulder to
the wheel, coaxed the horse, and got
out of the gutter And the girl stayed
there and saw the affair through and
thought no more about it. She is a
credit to the town

GAS ENGINE SUPPLIES ELECTRIC
ITY.

Electrical supply was inaugurated
some years ago with station equip
ment of boiler, steam engine, and
dynamo, and, as above noted, the cur
rent-generating, transforming, and
distributing machinery has increased
to three and even four times the rate
OF energy output. In addition. the
length, weight, and cost of transmit
ting and distributing conductors. per
unit OF electric supply, has multiplied
several times. These great additions
to electrical equipment have ,sulted
from the requirements of steam-power
generation. Economy in steam-poWer
production involves the largest prac-
ticable production of energy at a single
point; this necessitates that service be
made to consumers at long distances
from the main plant Another form OF
prime mover has, however, for years
been growing in Importance, now
rivals the steam engine, and may in
the future largely displace it, by reason
OF superior economy in fuel This new
motive power is the gas engine. Re-
cent Developments in gas-engine prae-
tice and in the production of fuel gas
have demonstrated an efficiency for the
combined producer and engine, in
brake horse-powers per pound of coal
consumed, which is much better than
the best performance of the steam boil
er and engine. There is good reason to
think, therefore, that the steam engine.
