DOM PAUL IN EXILE
Final Scenes in the Long Career of
President Kruger.
How the PiOus Old Man Lives in the
Little Town of HiIversum, HOI-
Iand-His Spirit Not Crushed
by Reverses.

The final scenes in the long and
adventurous career of the expires
5dent of the South African republic,
now on the point of absorption in
the British dominion, are being en-
acted at a little town named Hilyer-
sum, in Holland. According to the
latest advices, his end cannot be very
far off, and one of the most remark
able men of the last century viii dis
appear forever from the stage of hu-
man affairs. Mr.. Kruger inhabits a
small, two-stOried house, known as
Casa Cara. similar in every way to
the residence OF the wealthy Dutch
merchants, and of the usual type Of
country houses in Holland. There
are grounds surrounding the build
ing in which the president spends a
good portion of each day.
Hilversum is town of about $4,000
Inhabitants, and is half an hours
ride by rail from Amsterdam. 1t is
a favOrite country residence of the
Dutch, being very healthful and
quiet. Dom Paul rises early, accord
ing to his lifelong custom, takes a
cup Of black coffee the first thing
in the morning. and when dressed re-
pairs to the garden, where he re-
mains as a rule, till half past nine.
During this time he goes through his
mail. which has previously been
classified for him by his private sec
retary. He always takes with him
on these occasions his two INSOFAR
able companions. a large pipe and
large old-fashioned Bible with large
metal clasps.
Although he knows the sacred
books almost by heart, especially
those of the Old Testament. and can
always quote an appropriate passage
from the Bible suitable for any given
emergency, yet he, nevertheless,
reads his Bible every day under the
shade of al arge tree in the pleasant
grounds of the villa. At noon pre-
cisely, for Mr.. Kruger is r0thing if
not methodical, he takes a cold

not. He believes that all the law il
Blackstone fails to fit some of the
cases which are brought before him.
In passing upon the case of a young
man arrested for wife beating lit
was his first Offense), he said:
"You go home and buy your wife
stout club-a pick-handle will do
nicely. I command your wife every
time YOU come home drunk and abu-
sive. to take the club and lay it on
YOU hard and often. Every time you
swear at her she is to do the same
thing: every time you refuse to
bring in coal to her she will thrash
you. And you, madam" turning to
the fearful wife, Il insist that you
obey me in this. You thrash him
hard each time he does not act as
a good, sober and Industrious bus
band should. If he strikes back, yOu
lust let me know and he will be
sorry he was born"
As an evidence of the effectiveness
of this justice the couple have lived
happily together ever since, and the
club has never been used, the fear of
it and the squire keeping the hus-
band well behaved.

The Amounting of Kings.

The question as to whether Ring
Edward should be anointed at his
coronation and if so what form the
ceremony would take is bringing to
light some interesting stories as to
the way in which the rite was for
merly performed. Edward VI, the
last of the former Edwards, had

should hasten his coronation.
Witches were forbidden to attend the
ceremony.

THE WISE OLD RAT.
Caught, and Then COOIIy
Opened the Trap,

A man from Barring, Me-, came into
Calais lately and unfolded a rat story
that has by unanimous consent been
placed first in the local book of fact
and fiction. Daniel Pike, who told the
story, declared that it was true to
the last word, and offered to go before
a justice of the peace and make oath
to that effect.
Mr.. Pike had been bothered by rats
in his barn, and after inspecting all
the ancient and modern devices for the
capture of rats, selected one of the
wire-cage variety. The first morning
after the trap had been set he went TO

A WORD WANTED.
One That VIII Express the Ever-In-
creasing Class of Words Named
After Individuals.

A writer in the Spectator is hunt
ing for a word and asks the readers
of the Spectator to assist him. The
word desired is one that will express
the ever-increasing class of words
that are named after some individual,
e. e., boycott" ''macadamize," "
dolly ''mackintosh," CAMP" peel
er," Robert" Bobby" ''Whitehead'
(for a torpedO), etc.
Such words should be classified un-
der a name by themselves. What
should this word be? ''Cognominals'
has been suggested. A cognOmen,
however, is a surname, and such
words are not always taken from
the persons surname-"BObby," for
example, to indicate policeman.
"Onomataneric" and 'aneronomat-
ic" have also been suggested; but
that would not include ''gamp" or
Mrs Grundy."
No exception can be taken to the
term "anthroponomatic," so far as
accuracy of description is concerned; !;
but it is a terribly long word, and an
ant short word is a desideratum.

INSURANCE IN SURGERY.
Plan Adopted by English People sf
Moderate Means Which Seems
to BE Good.

In England people of moderate
means are beginning to insure them
selves against surgical operations.
The plan is that subscribers who pay
an annual fee shall be entitled either
to free admittance to q hospital or
nursing at home and free operation
or to fixed sum paid down to defray
the cost of an operation if one be-
comes necessary. In England, as
here, the cost of surgical repairs to
the human body has become oppres-
siVely great to persons who just man.
age to pay their way. People who
are obviously poor get a great deal
of excellent surgical and medical
treatment in hospitals and elsewhere
for nothing, but for the next class
above them a serious illness-espe-
cially if it involves an operation-is
almost ruinous, says Harper's Week
ly.
It would seem as if the time was
near when societies for insurance
against specialists might be profit
ably organized in the larger Amer
lean cities. The specialist has come
to be a very mportant-indeed, an
pensable-institutiOn especially
to families in which there are chill
dren. The Office of the family doc
tor has now become simplified to the
task of coming in and telling the pa
tient which specialist to go to. 1t
is not that specialists charge too
much, for their honorable services
are above price. 1t is that landlord,
butcher, baker, grocer, milkman, coal
man, dentist and trained nurse do
not leave you money enough to pay
them appropriately. To subscribe
considerable sum annually and have
all the repairs and desirable improve
ments made in ones family without
further disbursement would be a
comparatively simple way out Of q
troublesome predieament.

SOME BIRD MIGRATIONS.
Yr.tances of Prairie Chickens and
wild Turkeys Leaving Home
for Strange Lands.

Game birds sometimes make eXten-
sive migrations, even though of a spe
cies not commonly migratory, states
the New York Sun.
Prairie chickens, some years ago,
few northward from Illinois and the
adjacent country, and thousands
aIighted in the limits of cities and
towns in their path, notably in Detroit,
Mich. Other thousands were drowned
in Lake Superior while trying to fly
across that lake. Others got over
safely and took up their homes in the
Canadian burned regions beyond the
great lakes.
What induced these birds to mi
crate from a region where the race
had been native beyond all memory
Of man has never been explained.
Wild turnkeys migrated in a similar
manner from Michigan in the days
when that game bird was abundant
there. They had been hunted per-
sistently for years, when suddenly
they all disappeared.
They travelled due west, and it is
on record that "the flock was a quar-
ter of a mile wide, and was several
hours in passing" Soon after that
strange exodus wild turkeys appeared
in great numbers in the far west in re-
gions where they had never been be-
fore, and where their progeny is still
abundant.

AIapahoe Indian reservation in Okla
ho.na. AS the views of an authority
Oh the subject, the report, reviewed
by the Washington Star, throws in
teresting sidelights on what is really
taking place in the amalgamation of
the two races. Maj. Stouch says:
MANY of the older Indians adhere
to their religious customs, yet they
do not indulge in them to any alarm
ing or detrimental extent. BY moral
suasion and friendly advice number
of the young Indians have been pre-
vailed upon to discontinue the wear
ing of long hair.
''No strenuous effort has been put
forth to induce the old Indians, who
have worn long hair all their days, to
shear their locks, as to compel them
to cut their hair would be very bad
policy and result in more harm than
good. The loss of their hair would
make the old fellows weak, humiliat-
ed and cowed characters out of what
are now strong and leading spirits IS

MOST VALUABLE GROUND.
City Lots I'm New York That Are
Priced Higher Than Any other
in the World.

The highest priced land in the
world is that bounded by Wall and
Broad streets and Broadway, in low
CT New York city, says Success. a
square foot of ground on a corner
of Broadway and Wall street cannot
be had for less than $3.50. The most
expensive land in London sells for
$500 square foot. The average price
OF land in New York city's financial
district is about S175. Next in the
scale comes the woman's shopping
district, from Fourteenth to Twenty
third streets, on Sixth avenue, and
from Thirty-fourth street to Forty
second street, on Broadway. Here
land ranges all the way from $50 to
$3.50 a square foot. On the north
west corner of Broadway and Thirty
fourth street the latter price was
obtained. The real estate man who
can tell the future movements of
populate on Manhattan is in a po-
sltiOn to realize a fortune. The
growth of Brooklyn and Jersey City
has checked the movement of the
population north, and it is said the
most valuable land on Manhattan
Island will always remain south of
Central park. The lower half of the
island will soon have nothing on it
except Office buildings, factories and
tenement houses.

OLD PEOPLE WHO WORK.
wOrId-Fame Celebrities who StiI1
Keep Busy Although over
the FOUrscOre.

Tt is needless to call upon history
to prove the usefulness and richness
that may attend the lives of those
who have passed their three score
years and ten, says viii Carleton's
Magazine, Every Where. The vener-
able Gladstone did the thinking and
much of the speaking for the govern
ment of one of the mightiest en-
pires of the world, almost up to the
day of his death. Pope Leo, at the
age of 81, carries the burdens of a
worldwide church, and Herbert Spen-
Ger at 81 reads and digests the news
and literature of the world and re-
creates therefrom an immortal phi
lOsODhy. In our own land the sturdy
Senator Morrill, and Evarts, the jur
list, worked out their problems of
state and law almost up to the very
hour when they were called to higher
fields of effort; and to-day ex-senator
Bradbury, of Maine, aged 90, and Sen
ator Pettus, of Alabama, at 81, are
busy with the affairs of this world.
The venerable David Wark, the
father of the Canadian senate" per-
forms the duties of his high office
at the remarkable age of 81, and
Verdi still composed music at the
age of 81. There are few keener or
more persistently active minds in the
world of finance than that of Russell
Sage, who recently celebrated his
eighty-seventh birthday, while King
Christian of Denmark actively ad-
ministers the affairs of state at the
age of S5, and Julia Ward Howe.
though So, writes books that sell, and
gives lectures that people are eager

THE COWBOY TAUGHT HER.
DaShinE Women Riders in the West
Who Are at Home on the
Bucking BrOnchOs.

It is from the cowboy that the
western equestrienne has learned her
most valuable lesson in riding. The
cross-saddle and divided skirt have
given her equal privileges, and she
has not failed to take advantage of
them. There has arisen in the west
to-day a school of riders that prob
ably cannot be equaled in the world,
observes the Detroit Free Press.
This school is made up of women who
are to be found in every part of the
great western cattle country. They
are dashing. natural riders, who are
as much at home in the saddle as the
cowboy who ever donned a pair of
snaps" Many of them take part in
the cattle round-ups, and some have
even acquired fame as steer ropers
and branders. To such women a
bucking bronco has no terror. In
