Costliest knife In the World

The most valuable knife in the world
Is to be seen in the collection of a
famous firm of cutters in Sheffield. II
is large enough to At the pocket of
none but a giant, and contains seven.
ty.ave blades, which close up like
those Of an ordinary knife. Each of
the larger blades is deliberately en-.
graved, and among the subjects of
these strange pictures are views Of
Sheffield College, the city Of York.
Windsor Castle. Arundel Castle and a
score Of other famous scenes. The
hats are of mother-of.pearl, carved
with great skill. On one side the ar.
fist has depicted a stag-hunt and on
the other a boar-hunt. When asked

South African Governments.

A recent number of the Boer news
paper, Ons Land, contains an article
describing the experiences Of a Boer
who went to German Southwest At
RIGA In 1901 to settle there. The moral
condition of the country, he writes,
is serious. Most Of the Germans have
negro wives. To find a German in
the country districts. he says, with a
white wife is a rarity. At a baptism
of the child Of a German father and
negro mother, which he attended at
Rehoboth, two German officers were
present with their negro wives. Com.
pulsory service Is equally applicable
to whites and blacks, and both serve
in the ranks together. He concludes:
For my part, eighteen months ex.
perience has brought me to the con.
clusion that it is better to be a slave
under the English government than a
free nan in German Southwest AT.

Ant-Resistino Trees.

Trees have no foes like the white
ant of Australia. The pests encamp
in myriads of brown mounds around
the boles of forest monarchs, and set
down to the siege Of a tree. They
enter into possession of it, eat it's
heart out, till nothing of it's sap and
wood is left ave what has been turned
into a brown dust and a shetland
at the end Of their work die amid it's
ruins.
Only one handsome myrtaceous
shade tree, growing on the coast of
New South Wales, offers them a gal.
liant and prolonged resistance. This
Is the turpentine tree; some virtue
which it possesses renders it distaste-
full to the white ant. Turpentine piles.

clothing of bark, have been known to

dignation escaped the young mans
lips. The next instant he had
wrenched himself free, but it was too
late. He stood defenseless.
Florence, what have you done?" he
cried in a tone of sharp reproach.

ant Roland will not be SO mac as to

is no disgrace to a soldier if he sub
mits to the inevitable, and l give you
my word that you have no dishonor-
ing treatment to fear as a prisoner of
the ~Confederacy o will be treated in
an honorable manner.
William bent his eyes gloomily on
the floor. He perceived the truth of
the words. Longer resistance would
have been madness and, at the ut
most. brought only degrading treat
ment upon him. After a brief, un-
comfortable pause, he turned to the
officer.

outburst Of resentment. II was pre-

Il do not know you, SIR" said the
young officer slowly, without lower
ing his weapon or averting his eyes
from his enemy. you, on the con-
trary, seem to be very well in 'ormed
concerning my personality. In that
case, you probably are also aware
that I am in the house of my future
fa~ther-in-law, and came solely to see
my betrothed bride. BY what right

Wilson shrugged his shoulders.
by the same right which you would

At a Table d'Hote.

II you should chance to stroll one night
into a table d'hote.
These persons, or their prototypes, you'll
very likely note:
There's the gentleman who, hermitlike,
dimes nightly by himself,
The lady of uncertain years, who's laid
upon the shelf.
They sit at separate tables, although ap-
proXimate,
And there really seems no reason why
they shouldn't join their fate!
The Beau Brummel, who's elderly, with
spouse just half his age,
Who wishes very ~fervently to quit the
gilded cage!
Some artists. who will talk and talk I'M
interesting SHOP"
And who will have to be content to-mor-
row with a chop!
Some chorus girls with dresses that you
might we'll infer
Could not possibly be bought on fifteen
dollars per;
Then you're sure to see some brokers in
spotless evening dress,
Who, If the food is bull" or bear
don't care or give a guess!
The girl who doesn't eat a bit, but just
picks at her food,
The parvenu, who loves to ape his social
brotherhood!
INC then you're bound to come across
the gourmand and gourmet,
The man, whose sure to make a joke on
"Parlez-vous F~rancais?"
Tn irascible old gentleman, who likes
just this and that,
And says hat "he will have them and
So-well, verbum sat.
The invalid, who's suffering from dys-
pepsia or the grip,
He abuses all the walters and never gives
a tip!
The man who gulps his coffee down and
eats peas with his knife,
The young and gay Lothario, who thinks
he's seeing life!
And a hundred other specimens, whose
appetites denote
That they never are 20 happy as at a
table d'hote!
