dent occurred the other morning that

he flled out and signed with much
difficulty, and gave him IS bill.

RoER TOBACCO.
Natives Use II, but II 10 Too Much
Fer White Men.

TOT httc MEN,
After Transvaal tobacco, but O long
way after, comes Boer. The name is In
reality nowadays a misnomer, for this
tobacco Is grown largely in Natal and
Cape Colony. II is also cultivated In
the Orange River Colony, Is sold by the
roll and can be obtained for about IS a
pound II a whole roll is purchased. 1t
is also sold by the sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they
do not smoke the contents themselves:
they use II to reward the Kafiir serv-
ants for working overtime or doing any
other merltorlous action. The taste for
Transvaal tobacco is an acquired one.
1t also takes certain time before a
man gets used to the scent. No white
man who has come from distance has
80 far lived long enough to acquire a
liking for either the taste or the smell,
but II has Its uses In the case Of the
natives, and II is also useful II you
have an undesirable visitor whom you
are anxious to get rid Of. Offer him a
pipe of Boer tobacco, and he will never
enter your house again.
The traders purchase this weed large
ly. They also use II upon the natives
In the shape OF presents, as every Kaf-
Ar who makes purchase In country
store always asks for free gift, and
the competition to secure the native
trade is so acute that the request can
not be refused.-south Africn.

DEFY HARD LUCK.
A Few Bits of wholesome Advice
For the Pessimists.
Don't talk about your hard luck.


Don't talk about your hard luck.
Refuse to recognize it. Refuse to be-
lieve in 1t. Scorn to whine about it.
Get the whine out Of your voice, or 1t
will stop the development and growth
Of your body. 1t will narrow and
shrink your mind. 1t will drive away
your friends. 1t will make you unpop-
ular. Quit your whining; brace up; go
to work; be something; stand for some
thing; fill your place in the universe.
Instead of whining around, exciting
only pity and contempt, face about and
make something of yourself. Reach up
to the stature of strong ennObllng
womanhood, TO the beauty and strength
Of a superb womanhood. There is
nothing the matter with you. Just quit
your whining and go to work.
II you continually talk about your
bad luck and moan about your i'll for
tune, you create for yourself an atmos-
phere of misfortune which will certain
ly Overwhelm you unless you stop in
time.
The man or woman who persstently
fears that such and such thing is not
going to turn out well is enlistlng pow
erful forces against uccess.-BOston

YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
Make Up Your Mind 70 Seek Il Rath-
sr Than Wait Fer II.

A4ke ~ Tour htna to seek IL Hath-
sr Tho. Wait Fer II.
1t ls dangerous thing TO wait for
opportunities until II becomes a habit
Energy and inclination for hard work
ooze out In the waiting. Opportunity
becomes invisible to those who are do
Ing nothing or looking somewhere else
for It. 1t is the great worker, the man
who is alert for chances, that sees
them.
Some people become 80 opportunity
blind that they cannot see chances any
where-they would pass through a gold
mine without noticing anything pre-
cious-while others will find opportuni-
ties In the most barren and out OF the
way places. Bunyan found opportu-
nifty In Bedford jail to write the great
est allegory in the world on the un-
twisted paper that had been used to
cork his bottles Of milk. A Theodore
Parker or Lucy Stone sees an oppor-
tunity TO go TO college In a chance TO
pick berries. One boy sees an opening
to his ambition In a chance to chop
wood, wait on table or run errands,
where another sees no chance at all.
One sees an opportunity TO get an edu-
cation In the odds and ends OF time,
evenings and half holidays, which an
other throws away.-0. s. Marden In

Russian Peasants, pantIe,.


The Russian Peasant even II the
bread ne eats is black, has a ban
bouche to add TO his meal much sought
by epicures In the Western world
the wild mushrooms, which grow
thousands upon thousands, on the
steppes OF Russia At any time a full
and savory meal is provided with the
addition Of sausage and onions; even
a mushroom alone often contents
them for a meal with their coarse
rye bread.
The poorest laborer has also a lux.
urious drink always available from
the ever present samover, and the
tea they drink would be the envy of
any American connoisseur Of that
beverage, for the best OF China's tea
is found in Russia, and all classes
enjoy its quality and fragrance. Never
is the water allowed to stand on the
tea over a few moments, so none OF
the poisonous tannin is extracted, and
delightful, mildly stimulating, straw
colored drink is the result. 1t would
be well II the Russian peasant would
content himself with this, for his only
great vice is drunkenness.-Socia

Our Majestic Capitol.

The architectural pride Of every

rather just behind the nation.
And during this constant and grad
