cries from the spectators, there was
breathless stiffness until the old man
stepped on the ground once more.
An immediate rush was made to ex-
anime the soles of his feet, which had
been carefully scanned by physicians
before the exhibition. The same medi-
cal men were first to look when Papa
Ita stepped off the glowing lava. His
feet were unharmed. Once again he
walked across the furnace, stopping IN
the middle to gaze about him, and once
more he was found to be unharmed.
He claims that his secret has been
handed down to him from ancestors
many centuries ago. they having been
the chosen people of Hinanuii-te-Aara,
who has protected them from all harm.
Because my people have been untrue
to the goddess of fire." said the aged
priest in his own language, "she has de-
creed that 1 shall die childless, and
with me must perish the secret of fire.
l know not how or why 1 am able to
walk on fire without harm. l only
know that 1t Is so, and that it is the
power Of Hinanui-i-te-Aara expressed
In miracle. 1t Is no trick"
While he was in San Francisco he
was urged to give an exhibition, but
said he was admonished by the goddess
not to do so, but to return home with
all speed

Papa Ita, South Sea Islander who

nothing was left but live Goals, the lava

A quaint, old fashioned, loving woman,
Mrs. Kruger was the reflex of many of
the characteristics of stern old +Oom
Paul" The war with England was
great trial on Mrs. Kruger. Frequent
ly she was heard bewailing the awful
carnage and yet even in the midst of
her sorrow for the fallen burghers she
found eloquent words In which to ex-
press her sympathies for the British
wives and mothers who had lost their
dear ones on the broad yeldts. Then,
too, the long separation from her hus-
band. combined with the recent death
Of her fayorite daughter. completely
broke the gentle spirit and the spark
of noble life went out.
Mrs. Kruger was "Oom Paul's" sec
ond wife, and was Miss Du Plesis a
family of prominence in South Africa
and which gave to France one of the
greatest princes of the church and
State, the Cardinal Richelieu. Sixteen
children blessed their union, IL Of

When ex-Pres1dent Kruger was in
formed at Hilversum, In Holland, Of
his wife's death he wept bitterly and
requested that he be left alone. Her
son-in-law. Eloff, and many other menu
bers Of the family were at Mrs. Kru.

DRY SHAVING IN CHINA.

One Authority Says This Has Made
Boards Disappear.
DRY shaving has been a blessing to
China, and In less than 300 years has
almost removed boards from the faces
Of the men Of the empire" observed an
intelligent Chinaman to a Washington
Star reporter. Originally the Chinese
had heavy boards. This is easily veri-
fled by an examination of any of the
old prints of Cinnamon, for all of them
show long men. In time the
people found out that there was no par
ticular use for beard, and that the
wearing of 1t was expensive outside of
the time actually occupied in trimming
or shaving it. How many Americans
Of to-day are forced to spend several
hours week in barber's chair? Many
men that know, Americans and Euro
peans as well, spend twenty minutes
in the bagber's chair every day.
'"rhe Cinnamon of the olden times
the kind of Chinaman who figures as
pirate in your prints, for the good
Chinaman never seems to have got his
picture In your books at all, until with
in the last fifty years at most, always
wore long beard in reality as well as
in the pictupres. But even he found
out that there was no necessity for it.
The learned men of the empire were
asked to consider the matter, and they
arrived at the conclusion that dry shay
ing was to some extent remedy. Any
how, official edicts were issued giving
this information The old fellows who
had boards of course were not in 1t, and
they lived out their days and passed
out Of existence with full boards, but
the young were asked to "dry shave"
Thus the reform started, and in five or
six generations Of the people the aver
age Chinaman to-day does not have to
devote over one-half hour in month to
keep his face hairless. In the next two
generations boards are expected to dis
appear absolutely. 1t took time to
bring this about. but In the life Of a ma
ton such thing as a century should
not be allowed to count much. 1 think
boards would disappear from Ameri-
cans and Europeans in five generations
of people If the people wanted to have
them disappear"

United States Ingratitude.

Robert Morris rendered inestimable
service to his adopted country by put
ting his private fortune into the breach
in those early days when the infant
nation was in the closest of financial
straits, says writer in the July Lip
pincott.
The 81, 100000 which made it possible
for Washington to carry on the cam
paign against Lord CORVALLIS was
raised entirely upon his own personal
security. For the most trying eight
years of our history this noble man
stood at the monetary helm of our gov
ernment and guided 1t through many
perils. Years after, In his old age. un-
fortunate land speculation ruined him.
His creditors demanded Immediate
payment. His country could have
saved Morris by paying back tithe-
of what he had freely given to It In its
time of need. This was not done.
To our lasting disgrace he was
thrown into a debtors prison and died
there, an old man of T2.

beloved husband was the greatest

Through the thrift of this invaluable

coffee money allowed by the Transyaal

USED AS A TARPAULlN.

The Strange History of a Masterpiece
of Scottish Art.
The long neglected and 6shonored
Rubens not long ago discovered in Wap-
ping, England, was not. the first work
of art to be forgotten and thrown aside.
There is certain famous Scottish pic
ture which underwent even more strik-
ing yicissitudes of fortune.
David Scott, R. s. A., presented the
work in 1884 to Bishop Carruthers as a
testimony of gratitude. 1t was the SEN
sation Of the year at the Royal Scottish
academy. 1t was engraved in mezzo-
tint by Hodgetts and the print enjoyed
phenomenal popularity. The picture
itself became a part Of the altar piece
THAN street, Edinburgh.
Time passed, and about thirty years
ago the Catholic community migrated
to new church. The canvas of the
altar piece was rolled up and left lying
in the schools, where it was eventually
dirt, the whole thing was sold for a
trifle to a broker, who thought so little
of his prize that for a time he used 1t
as a tarpaulin, covering an clubhouse
with 1t.
A travelling Snowman made bid for
the canvas, thinking it would do to
ornament the front of his booth, but
he did not get it. A last indignity was
contemplated by the broker, who was
seriously considering the advisabilty
Of cutting off the heads and making of
them pictures of convenient size for
selling, when an art collector spied the
treasure, and secured it for a small
sum. The church authorities made Wig.
orous efforts to recover the masterpiece
when. after careful restora ton, the
value Of the picture was disclosed. The
efforts were without avail, for the sale
had been valid one.-Youth's Com.

WAS the Piano Safs2

Some time ago famous pianist was
giving recitals In an Irish city. He In
yariably took piano with him to the
different towns where he performed.
This was not the instrument made use
Of at public performances, but was one
on which the pianist practiced at his
hotel, and was valuable instrument of
which he was particularly fond.
One night, after the conclusion of a
recital the musician was alarmed to
learn that his hotel was on fire. In the
greatest anxiety he questioned the
messenger as to the fate of his beloved
instrument, and eagerly asked If 1t had
been removed. The messenger replied
that an attempt had been made to get
It out, but this was not successful.
Noticing the crestfallen look in the
face of his questioner, the man hasten
ed to add:
But make yer mind aisy, yer honor.
Sure, the pianner will be quite safe, for
as was leavin' the hose was playin'
