Dear Nellie:

Dear Nellie: July 5.
' One Of our neighbors came to see
lls yesterday. She is a Mrs. Ford, and
she told us that Mrs. Jennings who
lives on the other side of our place, is
prudent in her goings-on with her hus-
bands nephew, and there isn't any
thing in the world wrong about her,
put she ought to be more careful, be-
cause people will talk-indeed. Mrs.
Ford herself had heard them talking.
! AS Mrs. Ford was going away Mrs
Jennings dropped by" on her way
from town and they met in the gate
and greeted one another as sisters
should. Mrs. Jennings told us after
wards that Mrs Ford was one of the
best-hearted women she had ever
known, but Of all the housekeepers!-
and that the whole family were shift
less, and if it hadn't been for the veg
etables she sent them the year round
she believed in her soul they'd starve.
You know I like this kind of life 1t
does seem so soothing and restful, just
TO lie up here and have nothing to dc
but to hear these people talk in this
airy manner about one another
| have had another letter from Mr.
Girosvenor. Did you ever hear of any
one being so persistent? 1t seems diff
cult to convince him that l don't care
to know him any longer. If he could
only understand my complete indif-
ference I am sure he would not write
again. CATHIE.

Mr.. John Grosvenor,

Mr.. John GroSvenor,
Dear Friend:-I have had no letter
from you in days and days, and even if
l did ask you not to write, it shows
that you were very willing to drop the
correspondence You are developing
your acquaintance with the pretty Fer
rand girl, suppose. That is the way
with men-they are all alike. 1 would
mt have dreamed a few months ago
that you would leave me agoniZing out
here IN this wretched place, and not
even take time to write an occasional
letter. When l see people hear gossip
and scandal, and when I don't see peo-
pie l sit in the hammock and pity my
self for hours at time.
The latest scandal is about me. One
of those good-natured friends Byron
talks about came and told me. 1t seems
that l was engaged to a really lovely
man in the city, but l was so naughty
and indolent and so set up-though
goodness knows what l had to be set
up about-that he broke the engage
ment and won't make friends, though
have written him letter after letter
begging and imploring him to be rec
onciled.
How can you be so hard-hearted.

Dear Mr.. Grosvenor:-I don't know
why you should dwell upon the little
incident at the reception, when l have
told you that I had entirely forgotten
it. Surely, you had perfect right to
take Miss Ferrand out to supper, even
if her escort had not been called away
and left her in your care. as you con-
tinue to assert. She is very beautiful
girl, as every one knows. Please &C
cept my compliments on your evident
good taste There will be no need for
me to write again. so l will say good
by. With best wishes.

MONKEYS EARN A LIVING.
MANIPULATE Fans in India to Cool
Their Masters Parching Brows
Method of Education.

Monkeys are more than pets in some
parts of the world. At Malabar, India,
they are taught to work, and have ac-
tually made themselves almost indispen-
sable in the homes of the wealthy. The
Malabar monkey is of the fine species
known as the langur. 1t is very warm
in Malabar, and there is fan called the
punka, which used to be kept In mo-
ton by a slave. 1t required a slave to
work each punka, but now every punka
in Malabar is worked by monkey.
It was an English officer who con-
ceived the idea of making the langur
work in that manner. The fan is a NOV
able frame, covered with canvas and
suspended from the ceiling. The motion
is caused by pulling cord. The officer
tied the hands of the langur to one Of the
cords, and then by means of another
cord put the machine in motion. OF
course the monkeys hand went up and
down and the auimal wondered what
kind of game was being played. Then
the officer patted It's head and fed it with
candy till soon the langur thought II
was fine fun to work the punka. The
experiment was successful and now
thousands Of monkeys are in harness.

REASON FOR EARTHQUAKES
Time, Says Professor, Is Accountab BILE
for Shrinkage in Worlds Surface
That Results in Disturbances.

Prof. James F. Kemp, of the chair of
geology at Columbia university, had this
explanation to give of the New England
earthquakes:
The earth tends to go more and more
slowly as it revolves, on account of the
backdrag of the atmosphere, so it tends
to become more and more nearly per-
feet sphere and less f1attened at tho
poles.
ALSO there is kind of interior
shrinkage due to loss of heat, and this
produces a shrinkage at the surface
which may produce the disturbances.
The original place of the disturbance
was probably under the sea, and it COM
municated itself to the land"
A. w. Grabau, professor of paleon-
tology, said: Il do not believe that the
disturbance was of volcanic origin.
There have been none such in this part
of the world for fair number of years. y
Prof. Grabau was asked what he
meant by a fair number of years.
"Say about 100000 years." he con-
tinued, gravely.
"The last volcanic eruption here
abouts was the one that made the pali-
sades on the Hudson, and that
was back in the triassic period. In New
England we are positive there has been
no serious disturbance for thousands OF
years, because there are powders there
which have not been disturbed within
that period"

Strange Electric LIGHTS.

During the remarkable magnetic
storm, accompanied by displays Of the
aurora borealis, on October 81 last, a
gentleman driving along country road
at night, near Calgary, Canada, had a
singular experience. He found himself
surrounded with great vertical shafts
Of light, which extended up into the sky,
meeting at the zenith in perfect apse,
and glowing with beautiful colors, the
shafts being bright ruby-colored at the
TOP, but changing in hue as they de-
scended through purple and green to
gold at the bottom. Objects half mile
away were evidently beyond the shafts,
and indeed, some Of these were only q
few yards distant, ind seemed to chase
the observer as he drove on in his buggy.
The display lasted but few minutes.

HER FAR-slGHTED POLICY.
The Means bv Which japan Hes At
Gained Her Supremacy
in the East.

In an article on Japanese Patriot
ism," in Pearson's, Mr.. Alexander Hume
Ford gives an interesting account of
ans foresighted policy. He says:
Every year from two to three thou
sand students are sent to America, and
as many go to Europe, to enter the most
advanced universities and machine
shops of the two worlds. These young
men are thoroughly impressed with a
sense of their own Importance, know
ing full we'll that it is their destiny to
return to Japan and carry the country
forward along advanced lines of CIV
ilization. Their intense patriotism
urges them, as rule, despite the obsta-
cles of foreign tongue, to seek the hon
dents abroad may always be found in
the front ranks of American and Euro
pean colleges. Once graduated, they
quickly return to Japan. Search the
continent of America never so carefully,
and you will not find as many resident
Japanese in it as there are Cinnamon in
the cities of either New York or Chica-
go; yet no alien law, as in the case
of the Chinese, prevents the settlement
of the Japanese in our midst. They
come, observe, remain long enough to
master the workings of our latest inven-
tions in scientific apparatus and me-
chanics, then return home to adapt to
the service of their people all that they
have found useful abroad. So to-day,
because they have prepared in times of
peace, Japanese foundries, shipyards,
machine shops and factories are ready
to turn out the most modern ordnance,
battleships, and firearms fit to do battle
with any power that threatens Japanese
supremacy in the far east"

BLATCHLEY

MANY Richmond business men and
capitalists are investing thei" money
in oil wells. and oil companies and
the money from men of this city
is back Of a large number Of oil
wells. So far. none have been 'bit-
ten by fake oil companies, which
in other cities have robbed. many of
those investing in the oil business.
State Geolo9ist Blatchley is the
avowed foe Of fake oil companies and
is waging a vigorous campaign against
them in Indiana. through private let
ters and public utterances. Ever
since the oil field in Eastern. Indiana
became valuable, fake companies
have been operating in this State.
Mr.. Blatchley says hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars are now being lost
by people all over the State.
Mr. Blatchley's attention was yes
terday called to company with

"stated that the company had hold

company would earn 6 per cent on

company had already sold 10000
shares of stock at 80 cents a share,
and had 10000 more shares to dis
pose Of, and that in three months
the output from the field could be
doubled without increasing the ex-
pense Of fixed charges.

companies We're organized to operate
in Jasper county last year, and some
of them are still in existence
