A Prehistoric EIopement.

Faster and faster sweeps the glistening
caSe-nlan to and fro: lower and tenser
grows the crconing-song. Dazed with
the motion of her head from side to
side to watch the ever-changing love-
play, she does not heed the players grad
ual approach, when with a sudden spring
he dashes i'll upon her, scizes her with his
strong arms, and drags her screaming,
struggling down the slopirg path.
But the glamour is dispelled, and. alive
tC the instinct of Self-detiance, the wo-
man bites and struggles, and in her
young strength proves no easy conquest
Driven TO desperate measures. the cave
man seizes from the ground d, stone.
stuns her with d sudden stroke and as
she throws UP her arms to fall, sezes her
about the waist, and. casting her lightly
across his shoulder, hastens down the
path.
zDown through the leafy,. sunlit gladcs
he strides, bearing the warm and yield
ing burden Of senseless flesh. the nerve
less arms adown his back and the yell
low hair streaming to the ground; and the
forest with its green depths, closes about
them.-''New' Lippincott.

The Man That England Can't Catch.

OF piece with the vividly-intimate
sketches of prominent men which the
worlds work has been presenting
from its first No. is that Of General De
Wet in the March No, by Howard e
IIillcSas Like Yankee Doodle. Cen
eral DE Wet wears feather in his cap,
and it is his only badge OF authority
in the daring guerilla warfare he Is
wasins. Stories of his wit give a new
side to his character:
BY his men he is regarded as the great
est humorist In the commandos. and they
are constantly enjoying his jokes. Not
long ago he promised three prisoners
their freedom IL they agreed to carry a
message to their general. The message
which the British general read was:
Please chain these three men; am
catching them every day In April he
and fifteen OF his men rode to DeWets-
dorp, where he was born, for the purpose
OF visiting his father. Late in the even
ing they discovered that McQueenie's
Irish Fusiliers, 800 strong, occupied the
town. Promptly he sent this grim mes
sage to the British commander: Sur
render. or we shall annex YOU At sun
rise next morning De Wet had his entire
commando on the spot, and after a short
battle the Fusliers were captured.

Care of Plants in Spring

I'm the sprinstime, when plants are
making strong and rapid growth, par
ticular attention must be given to training
then," writes Eben E. Rexford. IN the
March Ladies' Home Journal. III ne
elected in this respect they soon get be-
yond control. and the only way to bring
them into subsection then is by sacrificing
a good deal Of the growth they have
made This there is no need of doing il
the training is begun in the right way,
and at the right time. If branch is in
clired to outgrow others pinch off the
end OF 1t, and keep all such branches
from growing by pinching until other
branches have had chance to catch up.
If q plant Is not bushy and compact make
it so by pinching of the end Of all its
branches Keep up this treatment until
as many branches have started you
think, the plant ought to have. If you
desire a plant to grow in tree form train
it to one stalk until it reaches the height
You desire. and then nip off Its top and
force 1t to branch. Save the branches at
the top to form the head of the tree If
you want shrubby plant begin the pinch
ing process when it Is small. thus forcing
it to branch close to the pot. The old
saying OF as the twIg is bent the tree In
clines' applies pertinently to the training
OF plants " hen in their early stages OF
development

Csrncric's Colossal Income.

It is said that Mr. Andrew Carnegie
will retire from active business lie with
en- income of at least s10too.coo a year.
A few comparisons may be helpful in an
effort TO realize what these figures mean
At the average rate OF wages PAID TO
the soldiers in our regular army Mr. Car

age salary of clergymen in the leading

Is about $500. The Pittsburg capitalist,

Testing a ChiId's Endurance.

Endurance IS perhaps the most import
ant thing TO study in figuring out how a
child should be treated at school, says
Edward MARSHALL. In his interesting de-
scription of the recent Chicago school in
vestigat!ons. IN Frank Lesl!e's Popular
Monthly for March For lack OF It
must certainly mean in the school-child
a lack Of mental endurance Up to a
point mind may triumph over body. Tbs
determined pupil may. by sheer power
of will. force weak body TO endure
long school hours and close application,
despite 4. weak physical frame. But the
child at school is, OF course, in the form
alive period. and therefore undue strain
is especially to be avoided during thoss
particular years which are spent in
school; hence the usefulness OF the ergo
graph, by ali odds the most interesting OF
the machines used In the study of tho
Chicago schoaI children The ergograph
has for its base low table. To this ia
bic the child'S arm is clamped and strap
ped so as to prevent, SO far as possible
any motion whatever of any part except
the middle finger. Over this finger a
clamp is fastened. connecting with 4
string, TO tie end of which is fastened
a weight. This weight. after reference
to the previous records made of the child.
Is arranged Sc as to represent exactly
Z per cent. of the child's weight.
After the apparatus had been perfectly
adjusted a 7netronome. the Instrument
used to beat time when children ara prac-
ticing music, was started. The child un-
der investigation was instructed to raise
the middle finger of the locked hand every
time the metrouome beat After the
finger was raised 1t was to be lowered as
steadily as possible. 1t was arranged
that IN ninety seconds the finger should
be raised forty-five times, or once every
two seconds a part of the apparatus is
a. travelling pencil. which makes in a way
ing line, a record on paper, showing the
varying heights to which the weight IS
raised with every effort of the child. Tbs
usefulness OF these geographic records
is easily apparent. They supplied ths
missing link in the chain of tests max
ing up the Chicago scheme OF physical
child-study-. They indicated endurance.
