A Remarkable Photograph.

In some respects one of the most re-
markable wal photographs eve made
was secured by a nan named Meyer, a
correspondent for a German illustrated
newspaper, during the wal In South
Africa. Meyer was with the Beers,
and n day, during one of Buffers at
lacks along the Tugela, he took a posi-
ton on the firing line. The fire from
the British batteries across the river
was very heavy during the preliminary
part of the assault, and shells literally
rained on the low lying kopjes occu-
pied by Botha's army. Meyer thought
he saw a good opportunity to secure a
fine picture, and he jumped out of his
"schanze' to snap it.
Just then a big liddite shell exploded
within a few feet of him, killing him
instantly. l afterward secured the
camera, which was comparatively un-
injured. When the film it contained
was developed l discovered that Meyer
had made a beautiful photograph of
the huge shell which snuffed out his
life. l sent a copy of the picture to
his residence in Germany.-Every-
body's Magazine.

A Deathbed Pun.

Puck relates a story concerning the
late Senator Alexander Z. Goodwin of
Utica, who left behind him the reputa-
ton of never having been too tired
nor too i'll to give or take a joke. Dur
ing his last illness a relative, knowing
the senator's extreme fondness for
branded peaches, sent to his sickroom
q small jar of that most delicious pre-
serve. A few days later the relative
called and was admitted to the sick
room. Quickly turning on his pillow
and without giving his caller time to
extend the usual formalities, the sick
man exclaimed, MY dear Louise, how
can l ever thank you for those deli
cious branded peaches?" II thought
you would appreciate them, Alexan-
der" returned the caller modestly.
"Ah, yes; ah, yes" he ~assented, with a
smile which broadened and finally
broke into a chuckle that seemed al
most noisy in the hush Of the sick
room, as he added, And how much
more l appreciated the spirit in which
they were sent!'

They Pretend to Marry.

In Russia every woman marries or
pretends to marry, be she princess or
peasant. If the girl is of the opinion
that no one will ask her in wedlock
she leaves home. The peasant girl
goes to some distant district and soon
returns home a widow, saying that she
married while away and her husband
died during their honeymoon. The girl
of more fortunate position goes upon
far travels. In a year or two her
friends hear that she is welded to
some foreigner, whom, if she does not
win by her charms alone, she gets by
her affection plus a dot. In a year or
