Aristocrat and plebeian are only
comparative terms. Some years ago
Professor Geddes of Edinburg moved
his family into a slum district, where
they hoped to do friendly work among
the poor. One evening he asked a dis
tinguished statesman to dine with two
local guests, a chimney-sweep and a
scavenger. The statesman accepted
with unfeigned pleasure. the scavenger
said he would come; but the chimney
sweep refused to sit down with the
scavenger. At another time the fam
lily on the first ioor of the decrepit
tenement they inhabited told Professor
Geddes that If he continued to speak
to the family in the garnet he must
drop their acquaintance. IF the an
gels have any fun in them" wrote
Horace Walpole, "how our distinctions
must divert theml"

The municipal council of Venice has
joffered a reward of 10000 lire to any
person who may rescue Lieut.. Count
Franco Quirini and the Norwegian
sailor, who were lost from the explor-
ing party of the Duke of Abruzzi. A
reward of 5000 lire is offered to any
one who furnishes definite news of
the fate of the men. Only a few days
ago an expedition started for Franz
Josef Land. for the purpose of finding
the lost adventures. They may be
discovered, but the chances are against
1T. The remarkable experience of Man.
sen and his companion in that region
affords some hope that the Italian and
the Norwegian are still safe.

What are the two changes in the per-
Isonal appearance of people which
would most surprise a Rip Van Wrinkle,
opening his eyes after a sleep of a CEN
fury? According to a recent observer,
they would be the number of persons
young and old-who were wearing
glasses, and the few of any age who
were pitted with smallpox. A very
agreeable exchange. Perhaps another
century will teach man how to re-
normal eyesight, as well as to
save the smoothness of his skin.

The bursting forth of a new spring
at Carlsbad, throwing out eight hun
Idred gallons a minute at a temperature
of 1872 Fair. is a remarkable event.
For 600 years the waters of Carlsbad
have run with, so far as Is known, only
one intermission, which occurred for
three days at the time of the great Lis
bon earthquake. The temperature Of
the new spring shows that its waters
came from what is locally known as
the sprudelkessel. or "foaming cald-
rom" which is believed to underlie
Carlsbad. and to supply its seventeen
hot springs.

COLONY INVADED FROM
NEW DIRECTION.
BY SHEEPER'S COMMANDO
Scraps Of News and Opinion from
Various Correspondents in
the Field.

London, Aug. 30.-Some interesting
side lights are thrown on the South
African war by advices published to-
day. A dispatch from Capetown to
the Daily Mail indicates that Scheep-
er's commando has now moved to
the southwest and invaded a part OF
Cape Colony previously u~ndisturbed
by the Beers, while more severe ac-
lions have been in progress with the
object of preventing communication
between Capetown and the newly dis
turbed areas.
The Cologne Gazette's correspond
ent in Capetown declares that the
entire Cape Colony is a "seething
mass of disorder and alarm" He as
serts also that the Beers are receiv-
ing support from all sides.
Edgar Wallace, writing to the Daily
Mail, expresses a decided opinion that
Lord Kitchener's Punishment proclaim
alton will not result in the surrender
of a single commandant and that
much severer penalties are needed
the only useful policy being vigorous
military measures.
In the early part Of August a cor
respondent of the Morning Post had
a long talk with Lord Kitchener from
which he gathered that 1T is not
Lord Kitchener but the government
that is to blame for many Of the pres
ent evils Lord Kitchener, it seems,
complained that the home government
