Wicked johannesburg.

Miss Agnes e. Slack, of London.
secretary of the Worlds Christian
Temperance Union, said that Johan-
nesburg is about the wickedest spot
on earth. The very air there seemed
to her charged with the fever Of ac-
cumulating wealth from the gold
mines, and society from top to bot
tom is dish~earteningly sordid. In the
Dutch districts, where the people max.
their living growing grapes for the
wine markets of Europe, she said the
negroes are generally paid part OF
their wages in intoxicants. with the
result that they all become beastly
drunk several times a week. Lady
smith, she said. with all its monu-
ments and graves On the mountain
around, Is a gloomy settlement.
The Western provinces of Cape Col
ony. she said, are exquisitely beauti'
ful. and several of the towns literal
" blazed with gloriously colored
lowers. Puppies, reds. pinlns and
yeIlows there mingled in brilliant pro
fusion. Ferns that are rare in West
ern hothouses grow there in abund'
aoce.-Baltimors san.

Nicely Graded.

Talleyrand at his dinner parties In
serving graduated his manners to his
guests rank this way:
To a prince of royal blood: May
I have the honor of offering your royal
highness a little beef?"
To a duke: "Monseigneur, permit
me to offer you some beef?"
To a marquis: Marquis, may
cut you a little beef?"
To a viscount: "Viscount, have
some beef?"
To a baron: Baron, some beef?"
To an untitled gentleman: "Some
beef?"
To his secretary: "Beef?"
When there was present a person
even inferior to the secretary, to him
Talleyrand did not say so much as a
word. He simply looked at the man,
and pointed the carving knife at the
beef interrogatiyely.

SONG OF SOULS THAT FAILED.

When we hear the plaudits' thunder,
And we thrill to the v~ictor's shout,
We envy them not, nor wonder
At the fate that cast us outs
For we heed one music only,
The sweet, far voice that calls
To the dauntless soul and lonely
Who fights to the end and falls.
We come-outworn and weary
The unnamed hosts of life;
Long was our search and dreary,
Fruitless and long our strife.
Out from the dust and the riot
From the lost, yet glorious quest,
We come to the wales of quiet,
To cover our grief, and rest.
