Many Are Anxious to Fight for Beers
ard Britt. b.

New York, December 27.-The
work of enlisting men in this city to
take the Beer side of the war is in
charge Of two agents who are oper-
ating in a saloon near police head.
quarters.
The leader in the movement is
Gustav Simon, a Beer, who recently
arrived from the Transvaa]; associated
with him is a young German, Henry
Scharf, who has lived many years
among the Beers and who reached
NV York q few weeks ago from
Pretoria.
Anumber of people, chiefly young
men, have gone to Transvaal. Some
two hundred left a week ago and
sixty went just before Christmas.
Since the outbreak Of the Trans
vaal war the British consulate in this
city has received letters from persons
eager to enlist in the British army.
Il don't think it is any e1aggera-
ton to say that we have received
5000 letters from persons who want
to enlist" said the British vice con-
sui today. ''We are prevented by
United States statutes from enlistipg
them and we have to send them away.
The only way they Can get into the
army is to go to England and enlist
ontheir own responsibility. How
many of them do this we have no
way of knowing. I think, however,
that a great many of them do enlist.
"It is surprising to notice the va
rious sorts and conditions of men
who seek enlistment with US. There
is scarcely a nationality that is not
represented. English, of course
predominant, but Americans are Sec
ond in number. 1t is an interesting
circumstance that several United
States soldiers in uniform have come
here and asked to be enlisted"

Sheep i'm Spain.

In Spain there are some ten million
Of migratory sheep, which every year
travel as much as 200 miles from the
plains to the 'delectable mountains"
where the shepherds feed them till the
SHOWS descend. These sheep are known
as tranShumantes, and their march,
resting places and behavior are regu-
lated by ancient and special laws and
tribunals dating from the fourteenth
century. At certain times no one Is
allowed to travel on the same route as
the sheep, which have a right to Craze
on all open and common land on the
way, and for which road ninety
yards wide must be left on all inclosed
and private property. The shepherds
lead the flocks, the sheep follow, and
the flocks are accompanied by mules
carrying provisions and large dogs
which act as guards against the
wolves. The Merino sheep travel 400
miles to the mountains, and the total
time spent on the migration there and
back is fourteen weeks.-Spectator

There are two facts which will make
the year 1900 an epoch-marker in hu-
man events: l. 1t will be the first
time in the history of mankind that
sixteen millions of freemen have voted
in the choice of their national Chief
Magistrate. 2. The man whom they
elect will be the first American Presi-
dent inaugurated in the twentieth CEN
tury, and from his Inauguration the
progress of the American people will
be reckoned during that century. There
is indeed no way of indicating the
growth of this nation that is more
striking than to state the record of a
few Of its Presidential votes. Abra-
ham Lincoln received popular vote Of
less than 100000 in a total vote of
1850, 1913. That was only forty years
ago. Garfield was elected in 1880 by a
vote of 4,449,O53 in total of 9,209, ,416.
The President chosen this year will GER
tainly poll a popular vote of 100000
or thereabouts-fou times as many as
were cast for Lincoln and nearly twice
as many as were cast for all candidates
in 1880.

Chinese Names.

In China there is no fixed nomencla-
sure-even the country itself is without
name-and this lack of distinct and
recognized appellations was a frequent
source of difficulty. OF personal infor-
nation from natives there was none
Obtainable on which any credence
could be placed. A Chinaman, unless
he be a porter coolie or a boatman,
rarely travels or gets during his life
more than a few miles in any direction
from the place where he was born.
When trying to procure information
concerning the immediate locality It
was no uncommon thing to have a ma
tive, and even sometimes men of local
position, say, "Oh, l have never been
20 far away as that" or, II have never
been across that hill, and so do not
know what is beyond."-Harper'

Better Times for Drug Clerks,

Gov. Roosevelt has signed the Henry
bill, which provides that no drug clerk
in New York shall be allowed to work
more than seventy hours week; that
they shall be allowed one hour for each
meal and have one full day Off in every
two weeks. Another clause of the bill
provides that clerks must not sleep in
any store or apartment which does not
comply with the sanitary inspection of
the health board. The passage of this
bill will mean general overhauling of
drug stores throughout the city.

tween Two Towns in Germany.
Among the many systems which have
been proposed for the construction of Il
single rail railroad, there is one which
has been so far realized that it is to-
day in partial operation, and is in fair
way to be completed. About half the
system was in working order some
twelve months ago, and the whole line,
which covers a total length of S.3 miles,
will be opened to the public during the
present year.
The Langen mono-rail railroad,
which forms the subject of our illustra-
tions, is named after it's designer, Eu-
gene Langen, who was led to turn his
attention to the designing of single
rail railway in the endeavor to over
come difficulties Of transportation in
connection with some sugar works, of
which he was the owner. The railway
extends between the towns of Barmen
and Elberfeld, in Germany, which are

Edward Box, writing in the Ladies'
Home Journal, on "A Boy for Hus-
band" contends that no young man
under 25 years of age Is in any sense
competent to take unto himself wife.
Before that age he is simply a boy who
has absolutely nothing which he can
offer to girl as a safe foundation for
life-happiness. He is uniformed in his
character, unsettled in his ideas, abso-
lutely ignorant of the first essentials
Of what consideration or love for Il
woman means. He doesn't know him
self, let alone knowing woman He
is full of fancies, and it is his boyish
nature TO fit from one fancy to an
other. He is incapable of the affection
upon which love is based, because he
has not lived long enough Ito know
what the feeling or even the word
means. He is full Of theories, each one
of which, when he comes to put it into
practice, will fail. He is boy, pure
and simple, passing through that try
ing period through which every boy
must pass before he becomes n man.
But that period is not the marrying
time. For as his opinions of life are to
change, so are his fancies of the girl he
esteems as the only girl in the world
to make him happy. The man of 80
rarely weds the girl whom he fancied
when he was 20"

Moreover, each one has made good
selection, stated his requirements clear

mother or sister would have occupied"
The new boy Is as distinct product
Of the age as the new woman. He can
make his own bed, sew buttons on his
own clothes, manage bachelor estab-
lisi,ment for his father and himself,
make out the menus and do chatting

rank in school or his prestige among

Princess Stephanie, daughter Of the
King of the Belgians, has written a
book on love. In it she tells her read
ers whom to love, when to love, how to
love and where to love. She discusses
the conditions that make for love, the
chances of various temperaments and
characters for inspiring love, and In
order to reach as many would-be lovers
as possible, the Princess, who has been
through a finishing school, writes some
Of her rules in several languages. This
is interesting, but 1t is labor thrown
away. There is no art Of loving. 1t
cannot be learned from any book. If it
could, Of course young and pretty
princess would be an acceptable teach
er. But in that case we might improve
the situation by starting colleges to
train other teachers, and have young
people duly instructed on how to love
successfully, according to rule and pre-
cept The fact that the author Of this
book has had wide experience in
Cupid's court does not prove that she
Is an apt teacher in anything beyond
the mere etiquette and outward forms
Of love-making. Although the story Of
love Is said to be threadworn, it is new
er told twice alike. No lover can cx-
pound Its mysteries to another. 1t Is
the one unique thing In creation.
