THAT the green fields always lie

better education Of the southern

they know of the Brazilian Indians.
These northern people leave their

Ter OF Georgia truthfully says:

CONCERNING PERFUMES.

Eau de cologne is accepted by hon. orable and reasonable natures hav- ing high aims and ambitions.
 Lavender numbers it's admirers among natures with high aims and with a love of detail and exactitude.
 Heliotrope generally finds devotees among the dainty, neat and rather unassuming dispositions, who dislike fuss or notoriety.
 A violet scented atmosphere makes those who are surrounded by it's in luence religious, affectionate and peace loving. Women of lovable na- lures are always fond of violet.
 Rose perfume is most frequently used by warm-hearted, imaginative temperaments, who are inclined to extravaganza and have disregard of the more serious issues of life.
 The hygienic value of a moderate use of a good perfume is undeniable, and every woman should adopt a cer- tain one and remain constant to it. Don't let it go beyond suggestion.
 Slightly perfume all dresses, under clothing, writing paper, bed linen, beds-that is new and delightful use for delicate sachet powder. A flat pad is used between the mattress and the lower sheet, sofa pillows, etc, but never sufficiently to become very noticeable to others.

STRANGE RECIPROCITY.
Australian Plant in Close Alliance with an Ant Which Protects 1t
 from Other Insects

What do you think of an alliance between plant and an ant, a veritable reciprocal treaty whereby the plant furnishes food for the ant and the ant furnishes protection for the plant? This is an actual existing re- lation in Australia, where a small pug nacious ant and the bulls horn thorn live together under really remarkable conditions.
 But for the plant the ant would be without food, and but for the ant the plant would be destroyed by several varieties of insects that attack it's leaves.
 The reciprocal plan and agreement is this: The thorn at the end of each leaf has a pair of hollow horns, around which is secr&ecd a substance fitted for food for the ant, and which is re- newed by the plant as rapidly as it. is consumed. In these horns the ant lives and finds his natural nourish- ment within easy reach.
 He objects emphatically te the pres ence of other insects, and as soon as any of the little enemies of the plant alight on the leaf which he has pre- empted he darts from his home in the thorn and makes such a fierce attack on the intruder that he is glad to male hurried escape or else loses his life in the attempt to hold his position

PERSONS OF PROMINENCE.

Baron Kentero Keneko, Japan's new minister of justice, is one of the best English scholars in the empire. He is 47 years old and graduate of Harvard college. His legal training he acquired in Japan.
 No woman is said so to influence national politics as does Countess Marie von Beulow, wife of the Ger man chancellor. She has made study of German political affairs and her power with her husband and his friends is well-nigh unlimited.
 The dowager empress of Germany was described by the late Lord Clar endon as possessed of more states manlike views of the proper Russian policy than any native noble, with the singe exception of Prince Bismarck" Yet these two were bitter enemies.
 Prof John Fiske, the historian, of Cambridge, Mass, has been invited to deliver an address at the commemo- ration of the millennial of the death of Alfred the Great, to be held in Oc- tober at Winchester, England, the place of his burial. A statue of gAl- fred is to be unveiled there at the time and many eminent men will take part in the exercises.
 Montezuma, eldest son of the fa- nous Sioux chief, Sitting Bull, is prosperous bootblack in Philadelphia. His wife is Winonah, also a full blooded Sioux, and the pair are known in the Quaker city as Mir. and Mrs. Harry Parker. The husband is graduate of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. He has saved consider able money and owns a pretty home.

that had to be demanded later at the mouth of the rifle and cannon by the armed troops q the British South Africa company.
 The Rhodesia pioneers left Cape Town April 15, 1890, to push their way through unexplored forests into what was believed to be the long lost Land of Ophir." Rhodes had lost no oppor- tunity of advertising the richness of the new country to which he was send- ing settlers. Emissaries of his had dis played specimens of gold and other precious metals and uncut diamonds, all of which were supposed to have come from this unknown land, more in the hope of inducing the Boer farmers to forsake their pastoral homes that they might share in the richness of the new country than for any other req son. In this Rhodes was not success ful; the Boer farmers would have none of him and his new land of gold, but though he failed in this, he accom- plished the greater, though to him lesser, object of giving to England un- disputed possession of a great terri tory of half million square miles in extent.
 Fort Salisbury was completed, ard the city of the same name founded, September 12, 1890, when the country was taken possession of in the name of the queen of England. The troops of pioneers were then the only white men in the territory. They had reached it by cutting roads through the heavy forests, by bridging streams and by suffering untold hardships, but they had founded a new empire fox England.
 Over the route through which they cut road for the passage of their wagons, railroad trains travel each miles away. The little settlement of 300 pioneer Europeans has grown to many thousands who are to-day en- toying all the pleasures and con yeniences of life in civilized communi- ties. Good schools are to be found everywhere; the postmaster has fol lowed the railway, and 55 post offices handle the mail of the colony; 2,536 miles of telegraph wire connect the important points, and this is aug mented by an extensive telephone sys- tenn. There are theaters, churches and clubs in every town and village, and Rhodesia stands to-day a we'll forged link in England's chain of em- pire, from which other pioneers are pushing northward to the northern boundaries of what is nov considered English territory in Central Africa.
