Rothschilds' Business Methods.

1t is great mistake to suppose that
the Rothschild family or European
financiers has risen to its present
great eminence through mere trans
mission of the money making Instinct
AS a matter of fact when a Roths-
child reaches the age -or entering
business he is put through thorough
apprenticeship. If he shows 10 talent
FOR finance, he is pensioned off-paid
20 keep out of the business, one might
say. On the other hanC, he is ad-
vanced in even proportion to whatever
ability he may show. Rigid observ-
ance of this system has fept the
Rothschild wealth and strength un!,a-
aired to this day.

It's mineral wealth is represented by
valuable deposits of coal, working
mines of gold and reported copper and

are regarded as the most promising in

Spain.
The forests are also valuable. The

valuable teak for ship building, ebony
for furniture making, and jumpers and

and dye plants. Of fruit, there are
grown the pineapple, mangosteen,

The natives own large herds of cat

the Mahometan faith prevents the
raising of hogs, large numbers Of
these animals are found wild in tho

The coast of the island contains a
number of the best harbors to be

is the Rio Grande, navigable for fair

ANTELOPE VIBRATIONS.
The "Trek-BOkken" Of EARLY Days
in South Africa Was a Neigh
borhood Calamity.

This is the name given by the Dutch
settlers of South Africa to the period
ical migrations. of the antelope from
the upper weld to the lower lands.
These removals are described by the
author of 'Kloof and Karroo," says
Youths Companion.
In old days these trek-bokken were
source of the greatest alarm and
danger to the colonist; quite as great,
in fact, as the locust flights. Countless
thousands of antelopes, impelled by
drought and the loss of their more Sc
cluded pastures, migrated from their
true nursery and headquarters into
more fertile districts in the interior
of the colony. u. =-~. -. = :. = - H.. DE-.
, A trek-bokken might be witnessed
for whole day, and the weld would be
left denuded Of every scrap Of pastur-
age. The immense numbers of the
santelopes literally swept everything
before them, and farmers frequently
lost whole focks in,consequence. From
sheer press ofsnumbers the antelopes
cannot retreat, and one. has to be care
ful to keep out OF their way. ss5.

become satiated, they fall back and al
