Jacob Hendrick Delarey first saw

born in the Orange Free State, and
was of Huguenot origin. He took
part with Pretorius in driving the
English out of Bloemfontein in 1S4S,
and had his farm and property con-

reversed the situation by forcing the
old Boer warrior back again across
the Vaal. The Delareys sought a

Very many have several different kinds.
Thus it appears that the cat fIen is diff.

different from pulix irritationis. the sci

the flea affords more divers matter for
a collection than does any other living
creature"

the collection. One, the mole flea, is the
largest specimen known. He is one-fifth

CHAPTER ".
THE PLOT WORKS.


Theo leaned back in the chair. feeling
slightly irritated, though the piece was
absorbing and the acting excellent. She
glanced round the theater, and saw that
there was a certain pleased excitement
in the house, for the third act-the best
of the play-had just ended, and the cur
tain had fallen on round of applause.
Theo only wished that she could lose
herself in the piece, and forget her sur
roundings. But she was Indignantly
conscious that Mr.. Samson had been
making furtive attempts to sit with his
arms along the back of her chair if she
bent forward to see the stage, which was
leaned back the instant the curtain fell.
He was little behind her, in the
shadow, and his broad, red face was OBJ
jectionably close to her white shoulder,
from Theo's point of view. But, after
ell, it did not much matter, she said to
herself, with little smile at her own
uneasiness. 1t was only the annoyance
of q few hours, and then she would be
rid of him and his unwelcome attentions
again. Poor mani He had not bene-
hted much from his theater tickets He
had taken the worst seat in the box,
behind her own, and all he could see of
her was the waves of her brown hair
over her little fiat ear. the turn of her
neck and shoulder, and now and then the
cool curve of her cheek.
Thinking of this, she turned q little
in her chair, to salve her conscience by
giving him few civil commonplace in

What One Woman observes.

To be contented you must be goou
friends with yourself.
To be born without humor one
loses two-thirds of life's enjoyment.
Women with double chins are apt
to be exacting in love affairs.
The man who is bravest in words
is often weakest in action.
The womanly woman is bOrn-not
made. She is not only good, but good
for something.
A woman is proud to see come back
to her side the man whom she has
left perfectly free.
If you are fond of a woman, tell
her so; it cannot hurt you, and it
will make her much happier, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Women are more ambitious in love
then men; not only do they wed the
heart, but they must share the
thoughts as well.

College a Bar to Matrimony.

Some one has been ranting about
women again, declaring that college
education, or indeed much of any kind
of an education, is bar to matrl-
mony. The advice of this knowing
person to parents is that if they have
an ugly daughter, give her a college
education to offset her ugliness; but
if they have a dimple darling with
peachy cheeks and pearly teeth, keep
her away from college, and then she
will marry. The argument offered is
that the average man does not want
wife that is more learned than him
self, but would rather prefer a simple
ton whom he can keep in subsection
One wonders after all this advice it
there will be any less matrimonial
mistakes than before, or any more
bachelor girls earning their own
living.

What none could understand;
And dear were things far off, far off,

Beyond the weather vane;
And now it was the chime heard
From belfry towers of Spain;
But never yet the little leaf thai

TO guess and wear the heart of youth
With eager why and when!
And never eye takes heed of them in

Municipal Milk Supply.

The latest effort of the Battersea
borough council, England, for the
benefit of It's ratepayers is the es-
Establishment of an institution for the
supply of sterilized humanized milk
for feedeing infants. The milk is
supplied in stoppered bottles, each
containing one meal, suited to the age
Of the child, and the days bottles
six, seven or nine-are fitted into
wire baskets conveniently shaped for
carrying. Battersea, like many other
working class communities, suffers
from a high mortality rate of children
under the age Of year, a large pro-
portion Of the deaths being un-
doubtedly due to ignorance on the
part of mothers as to the proper feed
ing of children when deprived of their
natural sustenance. Now parents can
procure the proper amount of food
for their children at a cost of 81
cents for the full weekly supply.

A little nicely of leave taking that

woman is to rise to end her visit
while she is the speaker. In this way
she is apparently leaving while she is

voice drops, suggests Harper's Bazaar.
One way implies boredom; the Other,

taking-a rare accomplishment even

perience.

PHYSICIANS ARE sKEPTICAL.
Doubt Efficacy of DR.. c. D. Barney's
Consumption Cure.

Consumption Cure.
Much interest has been aroused in
the medical profession by the alleged
discovery by DR.. George D. Barney, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, of formula for cur
ing consumption which he has just
made public. A dispatch from Brook
Ign gives DR.. Barney's formula as fol-
lows:
"The only medicine used is COM
posed of the three cresols-para-cre-
sol, beta-cresol and ortho-cresol. They
are made into one compound, known as
tricresol. AIDED to the cresols is one
of the strongest disinfectants known
to science-ethyle niamine. The METH
cd of applying the formula as pursued
by DR.. Barney is as follows: A per
cent. solution of cresamin is placed in
vaporizer operated at a high pres
sure and forced into the lungs of a
patient seated in an alright steel cab
met. All the air is withdra yn from
the cabinet and a fresh supply is
forced in by means of a bellows. A
rubber tube connected with glass va
porizer outside the cabinet is placed
in the patients mouth, the vaporizer is
started and the cresamin is thus
forced into the lungs of the sufferer.
Acting as a disinfectant, the cresa-
min is forced to all parts of the pa,
TENTS lungs, killing, according to DR.. ?
Barney's theory, all tuberculosis
germs. DR.. Barney claims that in all
ordinary cases of consumption his
remedy will prove effective"
Some time ago DR.. Barney inoculat-
ed Miss Emma H. King with tubercu-
losis germs and claims to have subse-
quently cured her. Later she commit
ted suicide as the result of mental
nervousness supposed to have been
occasioned by the experiment.
Some Baltimore physicians incline
to the view that DR.. Barney is laboring
under a deluSiOn. DR.. L homas S. Lat
timer said: Il think that any disin-
fectant strong enough to kill tubercu-
losis germs in the lungs would be
strong enough to kill the patient being
treated. There must be a multitude
of experienmts along the lines set
forth by Dr. Barney before his alleged
discovery is adopted or even given
credence by the medical profession.
In the early stages of consumption the
outdoor life, such as boating, sailing,
horseback riding or anything which
will give the patient free air and sun
shine, is the best remedy ever discov-
cred, in my opinion"
Dr. John S. Fulton, secretary of the
Maryland state board of health, said:
Gwen if DR.. Barney could, as he
claims, fill the lungs with gases they
would still not be in contact with the
tuberculosis germs. Two routes are
supposed to be practicable to reach
the actual seat of the disease; one is
by the respiratory organs and the
other by the circulation. Both inhala-
ton and intravenous injections have
been worked to death in the effort to
cure consumption. Germs are fairly
well isolated from the reach of any
chemical preparation. Furthermore,
any germicide powerful enough to de-
stroy the germs, could they be reach
ed, would also destroy the life of the
patient, | think. DR.. Barney may be
entirely sincere in his convictions, but
he has cure he wants to see succeed
and that has probably biased his judg-
ment."

How to Hold Up a Skirt.

How few women ever attain the
faculty of holding up the skirts on
rainy days with ease and daintiness.
Although it is the rule to wear
flounced understands that almost
touch the ground, petticoats that
reach only to the top Of high boots
have -..nerto been the rule; and on
rainy days these are still reverted to.
When out walking, the clever woman
arranges her skirts, and then, with
one hand, or perhaps two, she lightly
lifts it so that it falls evenly all
round This is where the knack
comes in, says writer in the Louis
vile Post. To hold up skirt on
one side and let it sweep the grouno
on the other is very natural, but it is
not good taste, and when it falls even
ly all round, and the frills of the
Detticoat are almost, if not quite,
~'sible, the effect is dainty in the ex-
IRENE.
One of the things that is taught at
school in New York is how to hold
Up the skirt gracefully.
