A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
IRoer Delegates at Pretoria-A Dead

gBoer Delegates at Pretoria-A Dead
 lock at yereenigfng.
 < PRETORIA, May 24.-The feeling here. which has been decidedly pessi- mistic for several days, is now more cheerful, though no real news of the conferences between Lord Kitchener and Lord Milner and the Boer dele gates has been allowed to leak out. It is known, however, that the delegates came to Pretoria as the result of a com plete deadlock at Vereeniging, where the Free Staters held out for independ ence and the majority of the Trans vaalers, though anxious for peace, re fused to abandon their allies.
 This is the cause of the Boer delega- ton being now here. It was at first thought that the delegates would mere ly report refusal to accept the British terms. Everybody expected them to depart immediately and that hostilities would actively recommence. To the general surprise, however, the dele gates are still here. and the hopeful ness of today is the outcome of the general conviction that some arrange ment is pending which may solve the difficulty at yereeniging.

WHAT WOMEN ADMIRE.

Women abhor towards and still more sneaxs, though I regret to say they often endure cads in way that bellies their intelligence and good taste. They have a quiet pathetic desire to look up to men, to feel men their su- periors in strength of body and of mind, i'll calmness of judgment and clearness of intellect. And it is in deed pity that men so often seem to go out of their way to destroy their most cherished illusions.
 Above everything a woman admires strength in q man. It may be strength of body-she will worship Hercules with the brain of a guinea-pig. It may be strength of intellect-she will adore a savant with the body of a Gib- bon monkey. It may be strength of character-sh will break her heart for a politician or a financier who is unswervingly wrapped up in dreams of personal advancement and who pos sesses no more heart than all oyster But strength in some form she crayes unceasingly. It is a hereditary in Stinct that has been bequeathed to her through Eyes first disappointment when Adam was tried in the balance and found wanting. Woman, secretly conscious of her own physical weak ness and lack of intellectual strength. demands strength from man to make up for her own deficiencies Even the strongest women. strong in body and mind. well balanced as Athene herself, though they may shield and protect the weakness of the man they love and stoop to help them, will never do so without q secret feeling of contempt which is destruction of all ideals.
 Man. in spite of that deplorable start made by Adam. was intended to be wo- mems protector and refuge from all harm upon whom she could lean and rely in every event of life's prilgrim- age. and when the roles are reversed. as they often so unfortunately are. it is bad thing both for man and wo- man. Strength. however. is what wo- men love in men.Lady Colin Camp bell i'll London News.

POINTS FOR THE DRUMMER

The man on the road is in business for himself, just as much as any stockhOlder ill the firm he represents. His trade is distinctly his; his GUS toners wait for his visit, buy on his recommendation, and mail their or ders to him. If he changes houses, his patrons follow him. His salary is based on the volume of business, as is the profit of any manufactures or merchant.
 The farm boy who has followed the blow, and knows the strong and weak points of that implement-the kind of a blow that will best turn earth on the hillside or the prairie, in clay lands or ill marshes, should make good blow salesman. He could explain to the dealer the kind of blow best suit ed to his locality, thus pleasing his patrons, because in turn the farmer would be satisfied with his purchase.
 It is not necessary to De an orator to sell goods. The representative will win who can explain, in simple, straightforward words. the merit of his wares. The goods and not the salesman should be conspicuous. know q travelling salesman who makes a grand display of words, but sells few goods. His audience seems to feel that it is he and not the goods that interests. If he made his good points in simple "A. B, O." retiring be- hind the line he sells, his business would increase.
 The salesman should know how to shake hands, making that act the bus mess of the moment. firmly grasping the hand, meeting the eye steadily, offering his introductory remarks briefly, and showing positiveness, q quality which should characterize both his walk and talk.
 The ability to call a customer by name, at his place of business or abroad, should be cultivated. A pa tron feels neglected if the man he patronizes cannot sjust recalI' where they met; and again, he should never know his customer well enough to greet him with "Hello, Billv' or "Helr To, Johnv'-H.

Selectmen Are After Mischievous Dogs
 and Putting Them Out of Business.
 The selectmen after considerable chasing finally succeeded in locating the dogs which played havoc with MT French's two calves. One of the dogs belonged to MT Patterson, who lives near the east side school house, the other is owned by Walter Stone of Oakville. AIessrs Lockwood and Peck made q call at Mir Patterson's. MT Patterson was not at home but Mrs Patterson agreed to pay the damages Stones dog was there when the select and allow the dog to be~shot. MT men put the other dog out of business. He seemed to know that something was going to happen to him if he staid so he made himself scarce. When MT Stone was interviewed he agreed to get the dog and lock him in the barn over night and allow the selectmen to dispose of him next morning. When the selectmen appeared on the scene yesterday morning the dog had disap- peared and Mir Stone informed the se- lectmen that he could have him pro- yided they found him. Mir Lockwood thinks that Stone will either produce that dog or else ante up pretty liber- ally.

BEST WAY TO READ HISTORY.

Perhaps the best way to read history is to take up the life of some figure that attracts our imagination, and be drawn by that into the study of the general stage upon which he was only q single actor. Certainly it is not a good plan to begin with those elabor- ate documentary histories in which you cannot see the wood for the trees. It is better to be wrong ill a few of your facts. or even contract a bias from some partisan historian, than to lose yourself in q mass of documents The best histories are the vividest If they occasionally lead you astray, you can always correct them by the more s0ber-colored chronicles. Macauley may have been prejudiced. and so may Froude, and so, undoubtedly, was Carlyle; so. again, was Gibbon: yet, none the less, these are the great historians, the historians who set you upon the peaks of time. and enable you to see history as it lies beneath, in wide views and broad masses I2e.arl I.e GaHienne. i'll What an Tnread Man Should Read,Y ill Sue Iess

WOMEN'S TEARS.

It is announced that the eminent Isench scholar, Prof Camille Melin- aud, has gone deeply into the absorb ing subject of tears. Prof Melinaud is said to take the ground that there are three classes of tears-mechanical, voluntary and semi-voluntary To him, in all cases, they mean nothing at all He declares that womens tears, in majority of cases, are not sincere What do the ladies think about this? They will doubtless as sert that Prof Melinaud is a fool-per- haps a very wise fool but still fool And it is not altogether impossible that they may be right.-Exchange.

TERROR IS sUBSIDING.
The People of Martinique in a Calmer
 Mood

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, May 24.-All is quiet here. The French cruiser Tage is engaged in landing the relief supplies which she brought here from New Orleans.
 The steamer San Dominique, from Porto Rico, brought here, consigned to Consul Ayme, fifty tons of provisions, sent on board that vessel by Governor Hunt in the name of the New York Herald. The vessel also brought 130 tons of supplies from the Martinique relief committee of Porto Rico. All these contributions have already been turned over to Governor L'Huerre.
 Up to the present nearly 2.000 tons of supplies from the United States have been placed in the governors hands. The people, however, are still more desirous of transportation out of the island than Of any other relief which can be offered them.
 The population is becoming much calmer, especially as the volcano is gradually losing it's terrifying aspect.
 Two more bodies found at St Pierre appeared to be the remains of house. hold servants who had died from as  phyXiation.
 From the heaps of cinders in the Rue de Luci, at St. Pierre, most dangerous emanations of foul gas have been dis covered, and the attention of the health authorities has been directed to the spot.
 Some gendarmes who returned from St. Pierre brought number of books and yaluables which they had found in the open safes there. These and the other safes had been burst open by some irresistible force. All the articles recovered are being cared for by the government.
 Another large party from Fort de France, numbering nearly 1900 people, left here last evening for Trinidad and other places.
