WHITE MANS GRAVEYARD
Colorado Mans Description of

IN THE TRANSVAAL RAID
Says That the Colony Of His Comran-

Gays NAT tne COIony OF HIS COm1an-
ionsis Rapidly Fading Away, Return
ing to Their Old Homes Owing to
the Sickly Climate.
The Colorado colony in Africa is
rapidly fading away Illness caused
by sickly climate is causing the
daring men who left here years ago
to work the rich mines for English
companies to return to their old homes
where life is worth living. Follow.
ing the return of j. II. S. Cox, for.
mer division superintendent OF the
tramway company, who arrived here
recently after spending three years
in Seikonda, on the west coast Of
Africa in the gold coast colony, comes
William Howard. who has been on the
African gold coast thirteen years. He
is but shadow OF his former self.
Mr.. Howard was in the famous
Transvaal raid with Jameson and es-
capped capture and death almost by a
miracle. John Hays Hammond was
his associate on many occasions and
was with him in this raid. Hammond
years Mr.. Howard enjoyed salary OF
$25,000 year He was employed by
the NASSAU Mining Company, OF Lon.
don, England, which owns valuable
properties on the gold coast. When
he left here thirteen years ago 1t was
70 go to the Dutch Republic. He had
heard OF the wonderful gold mines
there, and, being of an adventurous
disposition, he decided to try his for
tune. His abilities as a mining man
soon brought hm to the attention OF
the English company, and he was en-.
gagged as their superintendent He was
so successful with their African
mines that they sent him to India ia
look after their properties there.
After he had put them in shape he
returned to the gold coast. There he
met Mr.. Wood. one of the Wood broth
ers OF Colorado, and James Litchfield,
a Denver man, who formerly was an
extensive operator in this State. Both
were doing we'll There were six
other Colorado men in the country,
and all were successful Some
months before his return to the United
States he met with an accident and
broke three ribs. 1t was slow work
recovering and when he was able to
move about he decided to come back
to Denver and spend the rest Of his
days here. Mr. Howard Is still
young man and will return to his old
ccupation-mining He says the gold
coast is white mans graveyard and
he advises Colorado men to keep
away.-Denver Times.

Interest in Food Laws.

The interest in the enforcement
of food laws has become so wide
spread that the department OF agri-
culture has been compelled, for self
protection, to make a complication
OF the names and addresses of the
officials charged with the enforce.
ment of these laws and of the chem
lists engaged in various capacities
i'll the work. From this list, which
has just been published, it is learn
ed that at the present time a serious
attempt is being made in rs states
and territories of the United States
and in Hawaii and Porto Rico to
enforce more or less extensive reg
ulations relating to the purity and
wholesomeness Of food. Tie inter
est in this matter is growing and
each year adds new states to the
list of those which are taking au
active part in the prevention of ad-
liberation 'and misrepresentation OF
food products.

The Atlantic, or Ailanthus glandu-

ornamental as it is useful. 1t is a

being often more than three feet in
length. The Russian government has
planted a number near Odessa, and
1t appears to be the best tree for

is used as a timber tree, thriving on
chalky soils. Probably no better

REDUCING NOISE IN CITIES.
Vibrations from Trains Deadened, Z nj
Musical TeIephones

One of the best office buildings in
Berlin is that of certain electrical
firm. Whenever the telephone rings
in that building it doesn't ring, it
sings musical note.
This result is due to a Yankee.
When the building was being com
plcted young telephone engineer
from America, who WAS associated
with the firm, was asked to install
the telephone service. 1t was obvious.
ly appropriate that it should illustrate
the best telephone practice, and to
his mind this demanded the avoidance
of the noise and nervous wear ordi-
narily produced by the telephone hell.
He therefore substituted for this dis
quieting instrument device which
gives forth a soft musical note.
In some of the offices the innovation
was welcomed, in others it was de-
cllned on the ground that this quiet
sound would certainly not he heard.
After a little time, however, it was
found that the ear accustomed itself
to notice the soft and agreeable sound
with just as much precision as was
secured by harsh and startling
sound. The result of Il few months
experience was, therefore that every
rafting bell or buzzer was discarded
for the singing note and the en-
hanced composure thus realized in
the building was very material.
In the same city, when an elevated
electric railway was recently being
built, not only were all the plans of
the company carefully scrutinized in
advance by the municipal authorities,
and those for the stations radically
changed in the interest of street beau
ty, but special devices were also en-
ployed to deaden the vibration from
trains.
The lesson from Berlin is, therefore,
that, despite the vaunted demands
of modern life in cities" noise can be
reduced by attention, even in the case
of these two pre-eminent offenders,
the telephone bell and the elevated
railway.-Chicago Record-H Herald.

Queer Japan.

Japan is a queer country it is a
land of contradictions and diversions.
We prefer sweet fruit, they sour;
they make saucepans of paper; we
weep at misfortunes, they laugh; we
think white teeth beautiful, Japanese
ladies varnish their teeth black; they
put on the roof of house first, and
build the walls up afterward; their
carpenters draw the pane toward
them; their horses shoes are of
straw; their tailors, in stitching,
point the needle from them in their
locks their key turns from left to
right. Old men in Japan fly kites
and spin tops, while children look on
japanese writers use painting
brushes, not pens, and write from bot,
tom to top, and from right to left; in
japan there are no lawyers, and
japanese doctors never make any
charges, or send in any bills; our
mourning garments are black, theirs
white; and they mount a horse on the
off side.-Ex.

Bear Story From Maine.

Here is bear story from South
Paris The other night Ira Murch Of
that village went to a pasture near the
Stony Brook road after his COW. When
well up into the pasture he stopped
down to pick some Strawberries and a
little distance away heard a combined
grunting and squealing sound. Look
ing up he beheld a large female bear
with her family of three little cubs
about two rods ahead of him. The
mother bear was lying down, but got
up slowly onto her forward feet and
took a careful survey of Mr.. Murch.
He then tossed a small stick toward
her, when she got onto her feet and
walked away, closely followed by her
babies. Mr.. Murch says she was quite
thin but thinks she would weigh about
200 pounds. The cubs were from his
description, some eight or ten weeks
old, and very cunning. Several boys
armed with guns started Saturday in
pursuit. So far as we know the boys
got back alive.-Kennebec Journal.

Unseifshness is cultivated by
urging him to make dolls furniture

all the work accuracy is demanded
at all times. Superintendent Bal
liet says: "While the manual train
ing school does not aim to teach a
boy a trade, it gives him a training
which will enable him at once on
leaving school to earn from ST to 50
day, and thus become self-depend-
ent. Ifidleness, shiftlessness and
pauperism are immortal in their
tendency, if not in their very ma
ture, then there are worse things
for which our schools may be re-
sponsible than teaching a boy how
to earn an honest living.
1t has been found that boys are
anxious to remain in school, who
otherwise would drop out, becom.
ing street loafers, through ethe in
terest they have in manual training
Many boy has been kept in school
and higher purpose in life aroused
by this means.
The manual training helps boy
in choosing an occupation in life.
The aim is not to make a trained
mechanic Of each boy. The fancy
of boy as regards his future oc.
cupation may, and probably will,
change with every year of school
training, but that should excite
neither rebuke nor criticism. The
boy that starts with the hope of be.
ing an electrician and comes out
with an ambition to be a lawyer is
not to be called tickle; and he that
begins with firm purpose of being
machinist but graduates with the
deliberate aim of being an architect
has probably replaced groundless
whim by an intelligent choice. Give
boy manual training by all means,
not because you wish or hope thai
he may become an artisan. but be.
cause you want him to DE whole
man and to have an opportunity te
make the most of himself, whether
he become in the end an artisan OF
an artist, follower or a leader, &
bookkeeper or general manager,
an engine driver or civil engineer
a farmer or a manufacturer.
