The Gold Bullet.

A weird story is told of a man by
the name Of Van Bosboom, who is dis
tinguished in the TransyaaI as the
best shot in the Republic. He is fifty
five years old and never. it is claimed,
has he missed an object at which he
fired. A few months ago he had a
productive gold mine and fiourishing
family, but he lost his mine recently,
and soon after his two sons were slain
as they were fighting against the Eng
lish. The loss of his mine troubled
him little, but when he learned that
his stalwart sons were no more a
change came over him. He took his
old fint-lock rifle, which he calls Lo-
bengula, and with a bag of golden
bullets he went to the front to fight
the foes of his country. And it is said
that during the recent battles when
the ambulances removed each day
those who had fallen In battle. the
physicians could readily pick out the
officers who had been killed by Van
Bosboom, for instead of two ounces
of lead or steel they had two ounces
of gold either in the heart or in the
forehead.
Whether this be truth or fiction
know not, but l do know that there
are multitudes of men and women who
are shot to death in these days. not
only in South Africa, but in Europe
and America as well, by the bullets
of gold d-Homiletie Review.

A restaurant for concentrated food
is to be started in Paris by an enter
prlsing French chef. The happy diner
will enjoy a menu of tabloids. His
entire meal will occupy only a cubic
inch or two. The fault found with
such concentrs led food hitherto has
been that it is not fitted for the stom.
ach of man as he is constituted, since
it lacks the quality of bulk, which
seems TO be one essential of food. a
horse win not 60 well on a diet OF
grain; he needs some hay or other for
age to dilute the stronger elements.
So with man.

Treasures of Aztec Times.

The work that is being carried on in
the Gale de las Escaleraillas for the
laying of the sewer mains has led to
important archaeological discoveries.
for as is well known. that street, as
well as the present cathedral, formed
part of the site Of the great temple of
Huitzilopochtli, the Aztec god of war.
The latest discoveries seem to be the
most important of all. Foremost
among them are two figures of the
god Ehecatl (god of air.. the eompan-
ion of Quetzaceatl. One of these fig
ures is painted red. yellow and black,
and in spite of the dampness of the
ground where it has lain for centuries,
the colors have remained fresh and
vivid.
These idols are adorned with disks
of gold. which are polished and en-
graved in a remarkable manner. The
disks are about twenty centimeters in
diameter and the gold plate is of fair
thickness.
Other objects found at the same time
were four ear ornaments of gold, a
gold jewel case belonging to the god
of air. beads, amulets of green stones,
axes of silex, small idols of stone,
lances of sharp stones, curious mask
of pyrite Of iron. knives of large di-
mensions. mask Of diorite, censers
Of earthenware painted in colors, and
many other figures of stone and ce-
ment. the latter being always poly
chromatlc.-Mexican Herald.

The Pathos Of Obesity.

A very fat woman sat ON the front
seat of a rather crowded cable car.
while two thin women were making
little Intellectual passes and rushes to
get by her and off. The fat woman
wiggled and twisted. and then looked
at them with honest, grieved eyes.
I'D get up and so out Of ycur way
if there only was somewhere to put
myself!' she said humbly.

further go.-Chlcago Times Herald.

AS further evidence of the fact that
few men have ever amounted to much
without a wife to help them, it might
be mentioned that twenty-eight out of
the thirty immortals chosen for the
Hall of Fame were married men.

Swiss Glaciers. scenery Magnificent.

AS the Matterhorn is the grandest
object to be seen in Switzerland. so
also are the glaciers above Zermatt
the most magnificent In the Oberland
and at Chamonix the glaciers are
frozen rivers and eataracts. From
the Groner Graf the glaciers are vast
seas of ice. with ledges of rocky beach,
over which the frozen breakers are
beating. The Aletsch and the Rhone
glaciers are grand, frozen torrents Of
immense volume. and the iceiields of
the Mont Blanc range are Of vast ex-
tent, but it is from the Corner Graf,
where the spectator is surrounded by
frozen seas, out of which the snow
peaks rise like islands. that the imag-
ination is overpowered by stupendo1s
glacial effects.-New York Tribune

The irish Hedge school.

The educational structure for which,

ment, was very humble one Of Its
kind. The peasantry. animated by
the strong Irish love of learning. butt
II for him-just as in modern days
they assemble and build huts for
evicted tenants. Ii was not a very
formidable undertaking. A deep. dry
ditch or trench by the roadside was usu-
ally selected for the site. At the side
of the trench an excavation Of the re-
quisite area was dug. so that the clay
bank formed three sides of the in
closure: this saved the trouble of build
ing walls. Then the fourth side, or
front side wall. with door and two
windows. was built of green sods laid
In courses. while similar sods raised
the back to the required height and
pointed the gable ends. Young trees
and wattles cut from the nearest wood
and bound together with straw ropes
and withes formed the roof timbers.
over these were spread brambles. then
came n layer of "scraws.r y slabs of
healthy bog surface. and over all a
thatchlng of rushes. The earthen
floor was pared TO an approach to a
level. the rubbish cleared away. and
pathway made to the public road.
There was your hedge schoolhouse
ready for business.

That the United States is far ahead
of other countries as regards popular
art education is one of the most pro-
nounced deductions to be drawn from
the exhibition at the Paris Exposition.
The drawing and color work of Chi
cago public school students is away
and beyond anything shown by the
public schools of Great Britain, France
or Germany. Nor does the work of
our leading art schools up to certain
point compare unfavorably with that
OF European schools. The very gen.
orally excellent ideas and methods
now finding place in domestic educa-
tional methods is sure to bear great
fruit in the next generation or two.

A feature of the postal system in the
United Kingdom. which has not yet
been made a part Of the United States
is the telegraph. This is a branch of
the service that has made great strides,
being about ON a par as regards the
rapidity of its growth with the postal
card branch. The number Of messages
increased from 39,146,2S3 in 1886 to
90.41..123 in 1900. an increase of about
80 per cent. in the decade and a half.
1t is only about thirty years since the
transfer Of the telegraphs to the pos
tai system, but in that period the num-
hrr of messages has increased over
ninefold. the messages sent in 1901
numbering only 9,S5O,177.

Your Home First.

Occasionally there turns up a big
hearted man who announces that
be prefers to pay little more for
home articles than to send abroad
for the same thing. Yet how many
are there who send their money
abroad because they can get what
they want "a little cheaper" The
theory and practice are both wrong.
First, the money thus spent is taken
out of home circulation. Second,
it is contribution to build up the
success of a man who has no inter.
est in his customer. Third, it is an
injury to home enterprise as well as
all-round ingratitude. The man
who makes his money in a commun-
ity should be willing to spend it
there All branches of business
should be cooperative. 1t is the
life. blood of all business success.
The man who believes in home pat
ronage, and practices what he
breaches, makes good citizen, a
progressive business man and is
worthy the confidence of his fellow
men.

Wants a New Rsligion

Just at this time our country
needs a religion that will make a
man pay his debts, says the Meth
odis Advocate. Shouting doesn't
settle old accounts with God or
man, We bounce right into a fel-
low and put him out of the church
if he goes to a ball or theatre, but
never say a word to the pious scamp
who never pays his debts. Preach
ers and people who never pay their
debts are doing the church more
harm than dancers and drunkardS,
for there are more of them in the
church. Reader, are we getting
close to you? Then lay down your
paper and go and pay up and read
on with ease, And don't you stop
paying because the Statute of lin.
itatjOn" excuses the open account
which you have made for bread and
meat. You must pay it in cash or
God will make you pay it in fire and
birthstone. God knows no such ex-
Cuse for not paying as Homestead
exemption" When you raise that
excuse to keep from paying your
debts you can stop singing "When
l can read my title clear to man
siOns in the skies" You've none up
there.
