CECIL THE FIRST.
Rhodes. The Man Who Eats a Coun-
tzy for His Breakfast"

A very readable character sketch of
Cecil Rhodes appears in Ainslee's,
written by Allen Sangree, CORES
pendent recently returned from south
Africa. He says in part:
In the land that bears his name,
Cecil Rhodes receives the homage Of a
monarch. He stands for the coun-
try's rise or fall He is the source of
good and evil; praised for completing
abroad and blamed for a continued
drought Among white men he is a
subject of hero worship. To black
men he represents the whole Anglo
Saxon race They call him Separator
of Bulls, Son of the Great White Queen
and the man who eats a country for
his breakfast. To them he is destiny
itself.
The first thing you notice about
Mr.. Rhodes is an absence of affecta-
ton. He receives alike the day Ia
borer and the foreign minister. In
voice, manner and conduct he is ever
the same Nothing is studied. I'm
like most human beings, he is not an
actor. There is nothing mysterious
about him He makes use of no sub
Uerfuge. but comes straight to the
point. In conversation he meets your
eye squarely and impresses you with
his sincerity I could not stand Out
against him. walled Barney Barnato

his diamond interests with the De

upon you that here is man who hold:

PATRIOTISM.

Patriotism said DR.. Johnson, is
the last refuge of a scoundrel.' The
remark was somewhat fogyish perhaps,
but it described a class of patriots of
the last century in England; and it ap-
plies to some noisy fellows in this
land of patriots, it must be owned.
When patriotism clamors for a sub
sidy for itself, in order that our flag
may float upon the seas and our COM
merce be extended, look out for that
kind of patriotism.
When patriotism is of the Colonel
Settlers order, "for the old flag and an
appropriation it is of the kind that
loves country as the cannibal loved
missionary. When man loves his
country when he is in Office but wishes
it calamity when he is out, his patriot
ism falls within the Johnsonese .defni-
ton.
When fellow enlisted in the war
of the rebellion in the last days, got a
bounty of several hundred dollars and
never went to the front but sept two
or three weeks in barracks and comes
in for pension the rest Of his life and
loves his country so well that he wants
his pension raised, he is one of the
sort of patriots that country is the
worse for having, and can better be
confronted with armed foes in reason
ale Qt antics to such patriots.
When a fellow loves his party AID
hates everybody that does not belong
to it and insists on the government
being of the party, for the party and by
the party, he ceases to be patriot and
becomes a partisan. He is incapable
of good citizenship, and all his preten-
sions are as sounding brass. Such are
the men who maintain rotten politica
organizations solely for the purpose:
Of public plumber. Such are the mer
who make reform impossible. They
are some of them self-deceived ani
think they love their country: but they
fail to distinguish between an affection
and an appetite.
There are some Of our military ani

MICE AS HUMORISTS.
Ways in Which Their Testing Pro-
pensities Are Shown.

Ways in Which Their Testing Pro-
pensities Are Shown.
Few people understand the mystery
of mice | think l can, without i'm
lHodesty, claim to understand mice,
for | have made them a study for
many years. In order to understand
mice you must grasp the fact that a
mouse is an animal with a keen sense
Of humOr and love Of excitement.
With this key in your possession you
can readily unlock the mystery of
mice.
That the mouse has sense of humOr
is cOnspicuously shown by the way in
which he will rattle a newspaper in
your bedroom at night. The mouse
does not eat newspapers, neither does
he put them to any domestic use.
He merely makes a noise with them,
knowing that of all sounds the mid
night rustic of a newspaper is the one
which will most successfully Danish
sleep from your eyes. If a mouse finds
an eligible newspaper in your bedroom
he will settle himself down to a night
of fun and jOllity. He will rattle that
newspaper till morning, and the only
effect of throwing boots at him or of
getting up and lighting the gas and
searching for him with a poker will be
that he will hide himself till sou lie
down to sleep, and then resume his
little newspaper game If this does
not show a sense of humor it would
be difficult. to say what it does show.
Then there is the Well-known fact
that no sooner does a mouse trap or
cat enter house than it is followed by
a troop of mice Cats and traps draw
mice as the pole draws the magnet.
The mouse loves the game of teasing
the cat by stimulating the latter's
hopes of capturing mice. 1t is consid-
cred the height of fun among mice to
scuttle across a room in the presence
of cat ready to pOunce. OF course,
now and then too reckless mouse
pays the penalty of rashness by being
caught by the cat, but accidents of this
kind are more rare among mice than
football accidents among men, and in
no way render mice shy of he game
If you once understand the nature of
mice you need have no trouble with
them. Danish from your house every
cat, trap and newspaper, and not a
mouse will show himself. Fill your
house with newspapers, traps and cats
and mice will flock to it from miles
away. No mouse will go to house
where no amusement is offered to him
This lesson l have learned, as l said,
BY years Of study, and it has been
confirmed by the testimony Of several
of the most intelligent cats whom I
have known.-Pearson's Weekly.
