LudricrOus Mistakes Made by Writers
Who Are Unfamiliar with
the Country.

The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times informs his newspaper
that 1.-The Cape to Cairo line of the Afri-
can Transcontinental Telegraph CON
pany has been constructed as far as
Bismarckburg, Togoland." This may
reaG all right to anyone who knows
nothing about the geography of Afri-
ca, but if he should try to illumine the
statement by using a good map he
would begin to suspect that something
was wrong. The news is about as in
telligible as though it read: 1.-The tele-
graph line between Chicago and ST.
Louis has been extended as far as
Portland, Ore" The route of the Cape
to Cairo telegraph Inc passes through
central Africa, while Togoland is a
German possession on the west coast,
Bismarckburg being n settlement in
the interior of the colony.
Such blunders are quite excusable as
long as Africa is comparatively little
known, says the New York Sun, but
some people continue to ~perpetrate
them when they should know better.
A school geography used in Switzer-
land contained this statement awhile
ago. and perhaps it does yet:
"The inhabitants of the six New
England tates are Yankees"
Perhaps some American school
teachers who visit the Alps have put a
flea in the ear of that writer of geog-
raphies.
Treaties between various nations
relating to boundaries will probably
never again contain SO many biunders
as has beer the case within the past
20 years, while the world has been
clearing up nearly all the geographical
mysteries. AT least n dozen ludicrous
blunders were perpetrated by Euro
pean governments in their African
treaties. The British and Portuguese,

Love Out Of

BY GEORGE r.. SIMMS

could give in ineligible definition OF the word. In the rural districts
VIC can occasionally find some OF the old sentment-the love that
bound two hearts and lives together for better or for worse but
it is almost unknown in the cities, and even the country places are
rapidly outgrowing the old sentimental traditions that made happy
marriages and left but little work for the divorce courts
Time was when the young woman displayed a maidenly shyness
in the presence OF her lover; when the mere mention OF his name
caused a blush to mount to her checks; when the man with whom
she had prghted her troth represented to her all the masculine viz
tues. Those were the days Of the old reign when the odd. old story
was ever new. THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF ROMANCE
BUT TODA LOVE is OUT OF DATE; A BACK NUM-
Der: "a DEAD ONE"
The girl OF to-day does not set her lover upon a pedestal and
,oo;nt 70 him as a model for the world to follow. No, she IS much
more likely to refer to him IS a sort of "namby-pamby' being who
is all well enough as a convenient person to escort her to theaters, to
paw for flowers and carriages-possiby to marry il some other fei-
low does not come along who appeals more forcibly to some OF her
changing moods. .
IT is CONVENIENCE NOT LOVE. THAT BRINGS
ABOUT THE MAJORITY OF THE MARRIAGES OF TO-DAY.
Neither is the Young man Of to-day the young man OF a genera
ton or two past. He no longer worships at the shrine OF femininity.
He does moi choose his language in her presence, but rather she hears
from his lps the latest street slang, if not profanity He is not overly
careful that she should not see him at the gambling table or coming
from the saloon door. In fact he cares much less Tor the good opn-
ion OF the young ladies Of his acquaintance than he did OF yore-
AND IT Is THE YOUNG LADY WHO is GREATLY TO
BLAME FOR THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS.
She has sacrificed her place in his estimation by not only laugh
no at his vulgaritics, but oftentimes induging in like ones. She uses
the most approved slang; she discusses without a blush subjects which
ucre as a sealed book to her mother and grandmother; SHE IS

Is who has driven much Of the romance from this staid old world
