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 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 MIR. 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 Beaconsfield, as he
took in the young man from tip to
toe.
"what do you think of himP"
"He wears his monocle like gen.
tleman." replied the premier.-Phila-
delphia Post.

An American lady rented richly
furnished house in st. Petersburg.
The walls were hung with beautiful
Persian rugs, and wide, low divans
ran all round the drawing room. Be-
fore moving, the lady went to the
house to order q thorough cleaning,
ana she narrates her experience in
the Philadelphia Inquirer:

chambers. But where did the family
sleepw l asked the woman in charge.

replied, quite as if that were matter
of course; wherever they happened
to be when they were sleepy. Some

The servant was very dubious. They
had not been taken down for years.
"All the more need for it, them"

divans, and, picking up my skirts, fed
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

IN RIP VAN Wrinkles LAND.
The Portuguese Colonies In Africa
In a Backward State.

The Portuguese Colonies In Africa
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 q 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 shop" 20 feet by 8
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 8 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 a 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 1t that in the native Chris
tan community every communicate
has a separate cup from which to par
take of the sacramento wine.-London
Leader.

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 "J'' in either Spanish
or Tagal. He had it written out for
him by soldier, to whom he gave
a 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,
1 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 1t no
two pronounced it alike. Rather than
have trouble in the family / am look
ing for a brave American whose name
is comprehensive" - Philadelphia

Ate His own Words.

While I was at Moscow, writes q
traveller, volume was published in
favor of liberty for the people. In the
book the conduct Of public men, aid
even Of the sovereign, was severely
censured.
The work created indignation and
the offender was taken at once into
custody.
At his trial he was condemned to eat
his own words.
A scaffold was erected in a public
square, the imperial provost, maSis-
trates and the physicians of the Gar
attending.
The book was taken from its bind
ing and the margin was cut of.
The author was then served, leaf by
leaf, by the provost, and was Obliged
to swallow the unpalatable stuh on
pain OF the knout, more fear :. =
STA than death.
When the medical attendants stated
he had eaten as much as he could with
safety, the unfortunate was returned to
prison.
This punishment was renewed tbe
following days, until, after several
hearty meals, every leaf Of the book
was actually swallowed.-American
Law Review.

Cheap Cats.

General Sir Herbert Chermside was
formerly a consul in Asia Minor. Once,
in weak moment, he sent couple OF
beautiful Angora cats as a present to
a lady In Constantinople. The lady
was so pleased that she asked him to
send some more. Sir Herbert gave his
native servant some money and told
him to go and buy two or three. Then
came q demand for more cats from the
consups friends, and he gave his serv.
ant more money with which to buy
cats.
This went on for two or three
months, and the native servant waxed
exceeding fat. One morning. however.
the general, on coming out Of the con.
sulate, was surrounded by host Of
Infatuated yelled women, who besought
Mohammed to curse him because he
had stolen all their cats. 1t appears
that the native servant had pocketed
the money for himself and gone round
with a sack and con6scated every cat

where no the bird. Go In winter.

Joe Trigg: "A bright little bS1
reader of these notes asks us 10 toll
him and other bright boys where the
birds all go to pass the winter.
While we cannot answer his question
fully, we will tell him where some Of
them go. The bobolink goes 30 tho
rice fields of the south and there Is
known as the reed bird, the male E:ta
losing his handsome livery and his
sweet song, and dressing Just like his
wife. They are killed by the million
each winter and sold at high prices
to epicures in the cities as dainty
tit-bit. The robin passes the winter
in Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana
as do the mourning doves, where
both are considered as game birds
and slaughtered by pot hunters Al

their winter in the Central American
states, where they have plenty Of
flowers and perpetual summer. The
flicker or highhole, and other wood
peckers only migrate Tar enough
south to escape the severity Of the
northern winter. The meadow lark

The ducks, geese and swan go to tho
south far enough to reach open wa

in Texas and other southern states
until the time of taking their north
ern trip in the spring. Nearly all
our northern bred birds are subject
TO o most merciless slaughter during
the winter months in the south, and
it becomes very aggravating for bird
lovers to try to protect them while
nesting here in the summer, only to
have them slaughtered when they
leave us. The cross bill, the snow
bird, the very snowy owl and some
species of the finch family come
from the far north to winter with US,
though in this prairie country we do
not see them save the snowbird.

THE SERGEANT'S GOLD.
Il Never Reached the "OuId Folks at
HOme.o

II never heucned the 'Oulo folks Mt
HOme.o
Surgeon General Sternberg told a
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, l know that I'm to be kilt
entirely, an l want you to take care
Of this money an see that 1t 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 bur-
den and an embarrassment to him. He
tried to get rid of II, but couldn't find
any one willing to accept or even to
share the responsibility, and he
couldn't throw 1t 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 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
i 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.

otherwise come to them from cranks.

by well known general whose death
had been published in the paper sew

The editor looked frightened, but
retaining his presence of mind,
answered: II am very sorry, my
dear sir, but we do not take back any
thing we have published, nor can we
contradict mistakes, but" with a
broad smile, tomorrow we'll pub
lish your name in the column OF
births" The humor of the remark
struck the general and his anger was
