How zehras az cannht

Zebras are captured in German East
Africa by the natives, who surround
them. When they discover a herd
quietly grazing they inclose it on every
side, the man standing about 100 or
200 yards away from each other, in
an immense circle, probably ten or a
dozen miles in circumference. These
men have each stick to which is at
tached a piece of cloth or flag. They
futter these sticks in the breeze and
drive the animals into a kind of cor
raj. At a recent drive fully 400 ze-
bras were surrounded. besides num-
Der of antelopes, some of the latter
being entirely new variety. As the
corral was not big enough the larger
part of these animals were allowed to
escape. Finally eighty-fiye zebras and
fifteen antelopes were secured.

In one of the chief Matchmaking
establishments in Zurich there is to
be seen a remarkable curiosity in the
way Of watch or clock making. The
timepiece is in the form of a ball,
which moves imperceptibly down an
inclined surface without rolling. The
length of this inclined surface. which
is sixteen inches long. is accomplished
from top to bottom in twenty-four
hours. Then the ball" only needs
lifting to the top again. This extraor-

therefore needs no winding. The

1t never needed 1.-THE welding touch
of a great sorrow" to make the lives
of Archbishop TAFT and his devoted
wife "a perfect whole" Speaking Of
her many years after she had been
taken from him, he said: ''To part

only less intense than the pleasure
with which | returned to her; and
when | took her with me it was one

watch the meeting between her and

When David Livingstone had passed
his thirtieth birthday with barely a

wooing and wedding" he declared
humorously that when he was a little
less busy he would send home an adj
vertisement for wife, preferably
decent sort of widow; and yet so I'M
consciously near was his fate that
only year later he was introducing
his bride, Mary Moffat. to the home
he had built, largely with his own
hands, at Mabotsa. From that "su-
premely happy hour" to the day when,
eighteen years later, he received her
last faint whisperings" at Shupanga,
no man ever had a more self-sacri-
fcing, brave. devoted wife than the
missionary's daughter.
In fact, they were more like two
happy, light-hearted children than Sc

magic of their merriment the hard

Of the dark continent were stripped Of

wife's declaration that Richter is the
purest, the hottest, the most godlike
man that lives. To be the
wife of such a man is the greatest
glory that can fall to a woman; while
of his wife Richter once wrote: Il

love; but I have since realized how
unfathomable is the heart in which a

There is considerable learned dis
cussion and porting over statistics in
progress to ascertain whether or not
college women marry as generally as
they ought to, and, if not, why not.
The government seems inclined to
punish matrimony among its employees
by discharging the guilty woman. New
York and some other cities have gone
to the courts to find out if they cannot
discharge a woman teacher who so
far loses her self-respect as to marry.
Shall we ever reach the happy day
when it will be nobody's business
whether woman marries or not?
AS to the allegations that college
women do not marry as generally as
they might, could and should, it may
be because they don't want to, and
then again it may be because men
don't like educated women
College women may not marry, but
you can usually trust all the female
idiots to get two husbands apiece.
Much of mans success in life de-
ponds on the degree of loyalty he is
capable of inspiring.
If modern male writer's would study
Shakespeare more they would know
more about women.
First love is ardent, but undiscrimi-
mating. 1t is merely a matter of pro
pinquity. Almost anybody will do.
1t is wonderful how much the repu-
tation of some men depends on what
other people think they know.
The "nagging woman" and the "out-
door woman" do not trot in the same
class.
No self-respecting woman ought to
want to be a White Mans Burden.
The woman with history may not
have loved and lost She may have
got him.
If man has a broader sense of jus
tice than woman, as he likes to claim,
it is because he has always been out
