The every day life of Basuto VIII
lage is Il very simple affair when COM
pared with the life of q British vii
lage. Take, for instance, the food
supply. Porrldge is made Of mealies,
and thicllened and favored with sour
milk (mafD or herbs, and it is seldom
that a Mosuto-Basuto in the singular
becomes MoSuto-comes to his meal
leaving his appetite behind him. An
other standard dish is locust porridge,
plentiful supply being kept up by the
constant showers of locusts, which are
veritable godsends to the natives in
n country where food is very scarce.
The Basuto collect tons and tons of
these insects, and carefully store them,
first pulling off the heads and wings.
AS occasion requires, they place guam
titles in large pots and boil them until
soft and pulpy, favoring the porridge
with fat, and making it savory with
salt. The locust to an unprejudiced
European is not unpalatable, closely
resembling the shrimp in taste, though
scarcely so nice. Greatly as the Mo-
suto appreciates stewed locust, he likes
still better the young green maize
stewed and served with melted butter,
and certainly not the most fastidious
could desire a more delicious food

The prevailing idea of the steerage
of an ocean steamer is a mass of un-
comfortable people. men, women and
babes, packed in as closely as they can
stand, cooking their own food, sleeping
| wherever they can find place to lie
| down on the deck, and living like pigs
or other animals in foul atmosphere.
That used to be the case, but ON the
| big, modern Atlantic liners the accom-
| modations in the steerage are much
| more comfortable and cleanly and
healthful than the people who occupy
them are accustomed to at home. Not
only legislation, but competition among
the different companies, has accom-
| plished great reforms in this drec-
| tlon. The sanitary arrangements are
| perfect. The methods of artificial ven
| tilation, by which foul air is forced out
and pure air is forced in, keeps them
clean and sweet, and methods of con-
struction have been adopted so that
this can be done with minimum Of
labor.
The hunks are made of iron piping
the mattresses are of woven bands of
iron, which yield to the body like ord
mary bedsprings; each passenger, in
stead of bringing his own bedding, as
was formerly the practice, is given n
sufficient number of clean BLANKETS
| and a pillow. There are bathrooms
and lavatory accommodations, which
are purified by well-known processes.
The sexes are separated; the men sleep
in one section and the women in an
other, and each sex has it's own sep
arate accommodations Rec

Not So Very Hard.

An old army surgeon who was fond
of joke, il not perpetfated at his own
expense, was one day at mess when
a wag remarked to the doctor, who had
been somewhat severe in his remarks
on the literary delinquencies of some
of the officers appointed from civil
life: doctor, are you acquainted
with Captain G?"
Yes, l know him WELL" replied
the doctor. But what of him."
Nothing in particular" replied the
officer. Il have just received letter
from him, and 1 wager you that
you cannot tell in five guesses how
he spells cat"
"Done," said the doctor; "It's a
wager"
"Well. commence guessing" said
the officer.

"No."

"No, try again"

"Well, then" returned the doctor,

more, it's your last guess"
"C-a-g-t."
NO." said the wag, that's not the
way; you've lost the bet"
WELL" said the doctor, with some
petulance of manner, "how does he
spell it?"
why, he spells it cat" replied the
wag with the utmost gravity, amid
the roars of the mess; and, almost
choking with rage. the doctor sprang
to his feet, exclaiming:
Gentlemen. 1 am too old to be
trifed with in this manner."-Chicago

1t Is positively shocking" the way
they are catching fish at the plant of

the habit Of calling the mysterious

convenient to do so.
They started out early in the season,
which did not open until Wednesday.
to fish in the legitimate way, but fail
ing to get any fish to speak Of by hook,
they determined to catch them, if pos
sible, by crook-to electrocute them.
Since then fish have responded with
such wonderful alacrity to the novel
bait that few minutes sport will
give the new fisherman "a nice mess"
The sight would bring tears to the
eyes Of Ike Walton, who believed "art
for arts sake" who accounted It a
more creditable performance to catch
one fish an hour by patient, painstak-
ing. philosophic endeavor. than to
slaughter the finny tribe on the whole
sale plan in short order.
AT the power house they take a good
live wire, properly insulated, where
the angler holds it, and stick the same
into the water. Water Is a good con-
ductor, as everybody knows, and
every time fish comes within ten or
twelve feet Of the centre of disturb

He is not dead-he is simply shocked
into insensibility by his sensational re-
ceptlon, and If left to his own re-
sources would soon be himself again.

sonry which juts out into the river

which the tail race comes pouring,

Perch. sinners, bullheads, crappies
and an occasional sturgeon are caught
in this way. One of the electricians
who was directing the mighty ma
chinery which generates 10000 horse
power said that he had caught a
sturgeon early in the spring which
weighed twenty pounds. He said that
IN ordinary current of electricity was
strong enough to bring the most OBJ
streperous fish to the surface in most
cases. He had to hand the sturgeon
considerably more than the average
before he could make him "lie still and
be quiet"
Sometimes simple iron plate with
electrical connections is used. 1t is

This is largely, perhaps essentially,
an ultilitarian age, but that is no rea-
son why the esthetic and beautiful
should be ignored in government
buildings and parks. Very recently
Mr.. Frederic Harrison, one of the

visited Washington and spoke in
high terms of the beauties of the cap
ital of its possibilities in the future.
Europeans who come TO the United
States ana visit Washington compare
it most favorably with the capitals Of
the old world. The United States is
the youngest of the great powers in
the world, but it is not tco young to
make its capital city take rank in
architectural beauty with those of
nations which were well advanced in
years before this republic was born.

but comparatively little for the farm

improved implements and machinery,
has seemed only to render heavier

lieves that these institutions can be
run successfully by the farmers on
the cooperative basis, and this SHOULD

experiment which the women must
certainly welcome.
