Among the Baralongs, a great Afri
can people. iron is a sacred object. They
are expert workers In metal, which they
still smelt from it's native ore by the
most primitive methods ever devised by
man. This art was to them in former
days source Of wealth, influence and
power, and the legend is that when
people did not know the value of the
stones found In their brooks wise
man" saw vision. The spirit of his
chief stood beside him and said, Gath
pr stones and burn them to make
spears" The sage thought 1t was a
dream AMI that the chief was hungry
SO he sacrificed an OK. But the vision
returned, and the chief locked sorrow
full. He stood long time and ut last
said:
My son. Why do you not obey youl
father7 Go to the river. gather stones
and make hot fire. After that You
will see iron with your eyes. y
The sage was greatly frightened and
feared some calamity, but dared not re.
fuse. When he had made q hot fire,
iron came out of 1t, and then he knew
the chief had taken pity OH his cbil
dren. He told his son the secret before
he died. bu. he was vain coxcomh
and, wishing to show his own wisdom,
made iron in the presence of strangers.
and so the secret of the art was lost to
his tribe, but they have always contin-
ued to regard iron as sacred above all
other metals.

First Love.

/
People who marry while very young
are apt to find out when it is too late
that they have made the greatest mis-
take In their lives and that, though 1t
may seem very sweet to marry 1.-THE
first and only love-" this same FIRST
love- is the very last person in the
world that they ought to have married.
Some, indeed, may advise couples to
marry before they are out of their teens
and settle down before the distractions
Of the world can attempt to shake their
allegiance to each other. but this set
Ting down too often proves to be a
mere temporary phase and is followed
by an unsettled condition that lasts for
the rest of their unhappy lives. Sec
ond thoughts are often best in love.

Recent Comment on Lucian
Edgar FolIansbee.

The second number of the lecture
course was given at the opera house
and large and appreciative audience
greeted the noted lecturer, L. E. Fol-

was the subject chosen and it was very
ably handled by the speaker. Mr..
Follansbee spoke rapidly and in a
clear and distinct voice and held the
closest attention of his auditors. His
lecture was both entertaining and in

A SWORD OF HONOR.

II Was the Means Of Bringing Mar.
shat Ney to Death.
A sabcr Of honor brought Marshal
Ney to dishonor and death. When Ma.
poleon entered Cairo on the 22d of july
1893, he was presented with three
swords Of honor richly inlaid with pre-
cious stones. He brought them back
to Europe, and in 1902 he gave one to
Ney and another to Murat, keeping the
third for himself. Ney received his at
IN imperial reception. The sword
passed from one to another of those
present, among whom was young
subaltern Of the Auvergne regiment.
When Napoleon escaped from Elbe,
Ney left the king and took sides with
his former chief. After the allies en-
tered Paris, Ney made preparations to
get out Of the country, but his wife and
a friend persuaded him that there was
really no danger, aud he decided to re:
main in France. hen came the order
for his arrest. He fed to castle in
the possession Of some friends and sue

tired, he threw himself on a couch, first
taking of his oriental sword, which he
always wore out of affection for the
emperor. Hearing voices, he sprang
up and hurriedly left the room, forget
ting his sword. A minute later a par

and, calling in some gendarmcs, pro

that he was discovered, Ney gave him.

marshal, whose sobriquet was the
Bravest of the Brave, the hero Of a

An Alliterative Poem ON Pigs.
