story Of a Traveller Of How the big
Beast Was Captured and
Brought to Hamburg.

A traveller with three Dutch hunters
had some exciting adventures in the
Transvaal country, few months ago.
in attempting to capture rhnoceros.
They came upon big two-horned
fellow suddenly one morning, and mad
to climb a tree to escape his horns
The animal made for the tent of the
party, a short distance away, but 4
system of simple defense, Of wire
brush, foiled him, and he made OF.
A pit was dug in the swamp, and q
nice fat native, which is calculated
to make alm9 st any rhinoceros hungry,
sent out to decoy the prey. Soon after
they heard the shrill notes of the So
called rhinoceros bird, which is in
variably found in the4company of the
beast. It. is asserted that the bird
constitutes himself the sentinel Of tho
Numbering behen}oth, and that it's cries
are uttered to warn him that danger
is near.
THE native came through the clear
ing with the old fellow in tow, having
had about 80 feet the start" says the
traveller in telling the story to the
Philadelphia Press, '''and when the two
passed our mound he had lost five feet
of that although running like creased
pAghtning. The rhinoceros was a big
one, unusually black, and ran with his
snout down and tail erect
I'VE cheered the native to encour-
the trail we had tempered with Had
the race been ten rods longer the ma.
tive would have had to leave the path
to avoid death. AS he neared the pit
he ran along the right-hand edge of it.
while the rhinoceros Numbered along
Of the heels of the runner when his
feet let go Of solid earth and pitched
him head first into the pit.
I'VE heard him grunt from where
we stood, and it was plain that his
tumble had knocked the breath out of
him. AS he struck he rolled over on
bis right side, and when we reached
the pit he was helpless. When he got
it through his thick head that he had
been fooled, he was the maddest beast
in all Africa, but it was too late for
action.
We had come prepared for just such
a job as we now had on hand. The
monster must be got aboard the barge,
but we were in no hurry to begin
We got our ropes and chains ashore,
drove stout stakes where they would
he wanted, and moved the barge to
the lower end of the bluff
by this time it was dark, and We
tied the old fellows legs together and
left him. After breakfast next morn
ing we began work. we first hobbled
our prisoner, and then hoisted him out
of the pit. The first thing he did was
to make rush, but it was q failure.
I'VE got purchase tackles on him,
and led them away to trees and stakes,
and by these means we checked him
up, or warped him along as we willed.
All we had to do was to keep clear of
his wicked horns. By noon we had
him aboard the barge, one-half of
which was given up to him.
I'VE had managed his capture with
out inflicting an injury. He was land
ed in Hamburg without a piece of skin
missing. His age was estimated at so
years when captured and he was con-
sidered good for so or 60 years more"

Chicago, March $3.50 heavS is
the freight traffic at present that the
roads running east of Chicago are
reported $4,000 cars short of meet
ing their present orders. Shipments
of general merchandise are now
breaking all records. Eastbound
creased greatly, so that the roads are
pressed in both directions to meet
their demands. Orders for additional
equipment will have to be increased
to place the roads in easy circum-
stances. II is also stated that the
volume of westbound general mer-
chandise over the Western roads is
beyond all precedent, and the equip
ment capacity of these roads, too, is
taxed to the utmost.
Officials say that, large as the vol
ume of merchandise traffic now is,
1t is barely sufficient to meet the
consumptive necessities of the Sec
tions to which 1t is consigned. The
merchandise is going into consump-
tion just as fast as it reaches its des-
tination. Country merchants are ac-
cumulating no stocks, and, indeed,
have difficulty in getting their goods
delivered to them fast enough to sup
ply their immediate needs.
Should the year bring forth aver
age crops, every road in the country
will be in urgent need of large addi-
tions to its equipment.

When to exercise is an important
consideration. If the morning only is
available the exercise should be light
Particularly is this the case If one is
engaged in any work. The supply OF
energy must not be drawn from at the
beginning Of the day. The afternoon
is perhaps the best time for exercise,
when one has gained strength from
the absorption of the morning and
noon meals. Those who exercise vigor-
ously at night should eat midday
dinner. Exercise should always pre-
cede bathing and not, as a rule, follow
It. In this respect the ancient Greeks
showed great wisdom. Exercise and
bathing they called the two pillars OF
strength. Exercise was Hercules and
bathing Apollo. Both were regarded
with equal importance, and neither
was complete without the other.

An Anecdote which illustrates hin
Disagreeable Disposition.
Carlyle suffered from dyspepsia and
disappointment. he was therefore nei-
ther oversympathetic in intercourse
with his friends nor fair in his esti-
mates Of other writers.
Though he personally liked Tenny-
son, he spoke with impatience Of his
"cobbllng his odes," dismissed Jane
Austen's novels as dish washings,"
Hallam, the historian, as dry as dust
and Goldsmith as an Irish black
guard"
Even the writer's of editorials in the
press were saluted with this hard say
ing: what are these fellows doing
They only serve to cancel one anoth'
er." A characteristic anecdote illus
trates his cruel disposition. which pro
voked him to infiict pain even on a

An artist who frequented Carlyle's
house painted a picture Of him in his
dressing gown smoking a pipe by the
freside and Mrs. Carlyle in an arm
chair sitting opposite him. The pic.
ture was hung at one Of the Royal
academy's exhibitions and, though moi
a striking work Of art, was purchased
by Lord Ashburton, Cariyle's friend
for $500.
The delighted artist hurried OF tc
the Carlyles. expecting congratulations
on the sale and some manifestation OF
pleasure on their part at having such
a value set on picture Of themselves
and their domestic interior. He deliv
cred his glad tidings, but all the re
sponse be received from Carlyle was:

TACTICS OF "LlTTLs LAPS"
Russian View of the Enemy's Art of
 War.

Yes. we were greatly mistaken when We called them little Japs.' We have never before had to deal with such skillful opponents. They have included in their tactics all modern methods, strictly adapting them to their own national peculiarities. For instance, knowing the weakenss of their cav airy, they never allow it to go out un- supported There Is always infantry behind it, and our cavalry often runs against it, not expecting its presence.
 The Japanese reconnaissance is eff fected thus: A compact force of rife men marches, sustained hy screens, and patrols move about five versts ahead. At a distance of three versts the scouts are preceded by number of Chinese. These last come to the Russian lines, examine the camp and make signals to the Japanese con corning the whereabouts of the cav airy patrols. AS the country is noun tainous, they advance at the rate of seven versts q day. intrenching and fortifying every step they take. Their path is an uninterrupted row of rord- tications. Knowing the excitable. i'm questionable temper of their soldiers they never pursue the enemy before settling down ill good order upon the position occupied. because during a pursuit troops often become disar- ranged. Judging by their operations one could imagine they are the most phlegmatic and methodical people Ill the world-so strong is their military education and their knowledge of the art of war. They very reasonably avoid the bayonet Their leading ranks run away to the right and left. open ing the front for the fire of the srlc- ceeding lines Running round these to the rear, they again form their ranks, thus taking the place of reserves.
 If the troops uncovered are unable to stop our attack by lire they repeat the maneuver. What self-control, what discipline are required in order to do this, and what a consciousness of strength, When they are on the march it is all but impossible for them to meet with any surprises. In addl- ton to the men detached for guard they surround their columns by chains of scouts, who advance along the crcStS of the elevations. Movement under such conditions may be slow, lut ii is sure-RuSskoye Slovo.

Hints for HOusefurnishiu

To have d pretty home avoid glar. ing contrasts of color.
 If the wall papers are figured, choose plain carpets or draperies.
 See that bookcases have glass doors or curtains to preserve the books
 Remember that the kitchen outfit is not the cheapest part of the furnish. ing.
 Do not despise any old pieces of fur niture. If they cannot be used now, they may come into fashion again in the future.
 Purchase few good articles of fur niture rather than host of cheap things. which will neither look well nor wear well after the first month.
 Have general sitting room where the entire family can congregate cozi. ly in the evening. and. if possible, have an open fire and good reading lamps there, and comfortable lounge in one corner.

DiaZ was one of two in Oaxaca who dared openly to register q vote against the dictator. He paid the penalty of banishment, escaping narrowly with his life
 He now tasted warfare in a guer- rlla organization operating against santa Ana, and within eight years had risen from q captaiucy to commander in-chief of the Mexican armies and to q place in the government second In importance only to President Jlarez.
 During that time he won many scn- SatIonal victories and made n series of hairbreadth eScapes. At the same time he evinced d remarkable talent for civil administration. In the midst of the stress and rlgor of war he paused tO establish girls schools in OaxacH. which are now the models for similar institutions all over the rcpub- lie. At practically the same time he gave Mexico one of her national hoii- days by winning on the Cinco de Maya tue battle of Puebla with raw Mexl- can levies pitted against armies train ed in France
 In April, INT. he was elected Presl dent and except for the interregnum of Gonzales from 1880 to 1884 he has been at the head of Mexico ever since The chaotic country experienced It's first peace in seventy years.
 Corruption in public service was re- formed. taxes were reduced and public Improvements begun and prosecuted upon an elaborate scale. The country was cleared of bandits. Laws favor able to investments were passed and industrial development invited by the liberal spirit of granting concessions. Factories. libraries. telegraphs and scientific commissions were all fos- tered and have been brought to high standard. The valley of Mexico has been drained. Education has been made free and equal to all.
 Change in Mexico has progressed at such leaps and bounds as to be almost incredible and all has been wrought by the orphan of oaxaca, the savior, unitier and father of the United States of Mexico"

The ancient minstrel joke as to why married men live longer than bache- lors, and the reply that it only seems longer, was conceived in spirit of fun but it is now scientifically assert ed that matrimony is conducive to longevity. A certain learned professor has calculated that the mortality among bachelors from the age of 30 to 45 years is P per cent, while among married men of the same age it is IS per cent. For Al bachelors who attain the age of 40 years there are IS mar ried men who reach the same age. The difference is still more striking in per sons of advanced age. At 50 years there remain but 9 bachelors for 4S married men. At 10. II bachelors for 27 married men. and a 80, 3 bachelors for 9 married men.

AIvays Keen Faith,

Many woman who would not think of lightly breaking promise made to a grown-up person is utterly careless about keeping her word with her chil- dren. She promises whatever is con yenient at the moment, and apparent ly thinks that the breaking or keep ing of those promises is matter ill which she can please herself, and that her children have no right to consider themselves aggrieved if she does not do so.
 A mother who acts thus does her child grievous harm. She forgets that the sense of justice is strong in quite q little child. and that 1t is natural and reasonable that he should expect his parents to he as good as their word and to fulfill their promises. even at the cost of convenience. Promises should not be lightly broken. and the parent who is guilty of this soon loses his children's confidence. which Is one of the sweetest things which our little ones can give us.
