According to the latest reports from
South Africa, work is proceeding rapid
w upon the extension northward from
Victoria Falls Of the Cape to Cairo rail-
road, and there is every reason to be-
Iieye that the railhead will be at Kalo-
mo, the administrative center of North
west Rhodesia (Barotseland) before
next June. The further extension of
the line for distance of $50 miles be-
yond Kalomo will be taken in hand by
the Mashonaland railroad, which is
working the line from Umtali, Sails
bury, Buiawayo, and northward, and
the terminus of the next extension at
Broken Hill will be reached early next
wear. There will be continuous rail-
road communication from Cape Town
fo within one hundred miles of the
southeastern corner of the Congo Free
state, total distance of some 1000
miles. On the Victoria Falls alomo
section, fifty miles of earthworks are
finished and at least twenty-five miles

terimediacy Of the British minister at

The Japanese have adopted compul-
sorry system OF national education. A
boy and girl must attend school as soon
as they attain the age of six, and re-
main there until the age Of fourteen.
The first four years they teach them
the Japanese and Chinese languages,
and the latter four years they add Eng
lish; when boy and girl are GRADUATE
ed from the Japanese common schools
they can read and speak English. BY
teaching the Chinese and English Ian
guages, besides their own tongue, they
slsriags up a new generation, prepared to
seek knowledge in the outer world, as
commanded BY the emperor.

A RARE cURIo.
Prof. EPernot Receives a Sharks Egg
from California.

8 A rare curiosity came into the
possession of Prof. E. F.. Pernot
last Wednesday. 1t is a sharks
egg, discovered on the beach by
Mrs. Pernot. who is sojourning in
Southern California, and sent by
her to her husband. The egg is
about FIVE and a half inches long
by two inches in diameter. Its form
is difficult to describe, but it may
be likened to an inch tube inflated
at the center, gradually becoming
smaller to within an inch from the
ends, where the normal shape is re-
tained. There is covering of
transparent shell beautifully tinted,
and corrugated about the bulb.
The ends of the egg are closed by a
like substance but these coverings
seem to be fitted with an ingenious
fold, and cemented. Within the
shell there appears to be a yolk en-
veloped in albumen as in eggs of
the feathered tribe, and within the
yolk may be observed an embryo
fish an inch in length. Close ex-
animation discloses what seems to
be movement of the unborn shark,
and an effort is to be made to hatch
the egg, although a successful re-
suit is believed to be improbable.
Mrs. Pernot made the find after
the recent severe storms on the
Southern California coast, and the
|egg had doubtless been torn
from its fastening by the unusual
agitation Of the sea. The ends of
the egg bear threads of strong fiber
and by means Of these the egg is
naturally attached to growing sea
weeds.

facts which would support hts theory of an

herent propensity of mankind TO climb trees

SHOES AND GRACEFUL WALKING
How French Women Select Shoes and
Care for Them.

Aiohi 'He Shoe Retailer.
All of the cities on the continent" said
prominent wholesale shoe merchant who
mas just returned from his first trip abroad
are iuii OF graceful walkers of the fem
ill'le sex This Is more noticeable to the
american, probably for the reason that
here. in our larger cities especially. we sac
so little of that kind
Ihe reason American women don't walk
Wen as rule. Is that their shoes are I'M
comfortable and the heels are too high, A
french woman can walk all day without a
protest And regardless of the fact that
she wears those much abused French heels
Dut that IS Just where the mistake is made
Inc american manufacturer has I'm his en-
oeaFor to provide something quite dashine
tackled onto the heel seat of some of the
SHOES heel monstrosity which throws the
average French custom shoemaker into
rage at the sight of it.
w nat the French woman really wears
Tor street wear is the old fashioned IL or
"A Louis heel with the broad top lift,
Which gives as much surface on which to
walk as the ordinary military neeI of
the present day. Then she wears her shoes

good Lord made them. If her foot lis of the
long, narrow and pointed kind, that is the
kiho OF shoes she buys or has made; If
snort wide and square it Is the short yamp
ana broad toe that is selected. And above
all other things-they are never tight
Said well-known gymnasium teacher

to me: 1t is impossible for a woman to be
awkward in her walk If she will wear a
shoe with heel not exceeding ~ inches in
height and when she puts her foot down
nave the toes turned outward. The former
restriction permits her to follow the rule
OF putting the ball of the foot down first,
ana the latter is the natural position of the
foot II 1t Is put down naturally with the
ball first
L was also told by many shoemakers
abroad that 1t is the usual, rather than the
unusual thing for the woman of average
means to possess eight or nine pairs Of
shoes, and change often. These were
street shoes to which he referred. Another
good and sensible thing those foreigners do
Is to frequently have new kid Innings put
in their shoes. This. they claim, makes The
shoe feel fresher and prevents blisters.
Ihere Is much to be learned from the
foreigners In the selection and care of
shoes but the thing that strikes me as be-

between the American woman and her sis

Folly of the Consumptive.
From the Reader.

FROM inc reader.
Twenty thousand new cases of consume
ton come to the great southwest every
year. From all parts of the north, the
east and the middle west they begin, as
soon as the mild days of autumn give
place to frost and snow, to flock hither-
ward in the belief that the disease from
which they suffer will yield, speedily or
slowly, but surely, to the milder climate
which they know awaits them here
1 asked a thoughtful, conscien-
tious man whether any Of these consump-
tives died Die! did you say? They used
to get well when they came in time. but
now over 90 per cent of them die sooner
or later. They don't take care of them
selves; they won't let us take care of
them very long. and they are a burden to
us. a harm to the community and often
discredit to the doctors who sent them
They are fools, FOOLS said another doc
tor of high standing and large experience.
Fools and crazy" he added. Then he
walked the floor in his anger at the folly
and ignorance of many of those who come,
as well as of those who sent them. WHY
do they leave home? Don't they know
any better? Do they think that climate
will cure everything, or that we have
nothing to do but to look after them, give
them advice which they will not follow,
paw their bills when they have no money
and bury them when they are dead? Yet
they still come, and we can do nothing for
most of them except to help them die

Professors Endorsement.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Before President Angel of the University
of Michigan had attained to his present
high position young hopeful entering col
lege was recommended to his considera-
ton.
',rry the boy out. professor; criticise him
and tell us both what you think" the
parents said.
To facilitate acquaintance the professor
took the boy for walk. After ten minutes
silence the youth ventured, Fine day. pro-
fessor.'
Yes" with faraway look.
Ten minutes more and the young man,
squiriming all the time, ventured: This
is a pleasant walk, professor"
yes"
For another ten minutes the matriculate
boiled to his bones and then blurted out
that he thought they might have rain.
Yes" And this time the professor went
on: Young man. we have been walking
together for half an hour and you'll have
said nothing which was not commonplace
and stupid"
True" answered the boy, his wrath pass
ing his modesty, and you Endorsed every
word / said"
Then they laughingly shook hands and
word went home from the professor that
the hoy was all right and that they were
great friends.
