vertical direction to height of almost five hundred feet when large cumu- lous cloud passing in the zenith de- veloped a cross current which carried the kite off toward the east, but still ascending until it had reached an ele- vation of about one thousand feet The kite did not rise as is usual devloping a pull or tug on the string attached to it, but seemed to be lifted bodily, the string dangling loosely.
 Another instance was observed in the mountains of New Hampshire. IA party of picnickers seated on the top of one of the Sandwich Range was as tonished to see small piece of paraffin paper taken from one of the luncheon boxes rise in the most mysterious man. ner The day was perfectly clear and there was little wind stirring, yet the piece of paper, measuring some 6 by 4 inches, 1oated suddenly pward with moderate velocity, and continued to do so until it became invisible at an ele- vation to have been not less than a hundred feet. In rare instances meteorological kites have been caught in these upward currents and main- tained for brief intervals in a position directly overhead. Chicago Chronicle.

a chest of tea. The load was carefully merchant, driven in the back yard, and i deposited in the cellar.
 One of my neighbors once suddenly
 had call to preach and went over i into New Brunswick to spread the gos- pei, nI three weeks he returned, and when he came back he hitched his old horse in ie village street, near the custom house, and had a prayer meet ing in the rect, but no one mistrusted
 that he had fifty costly silk dress pat
 terms in the bottom of his old wagon 1 MT. Ahad a farm that ran to the | boundary line. His buildings were l forty rods from the line, but his gran
 ary was only forty feet, Mr B's farm buildings were close by on the Cana dian side, a road ran between the
 granary and B's buildings, the road be- i ing on the line. A raised about 800 i bushels of oats each summer and put
 them in his granary Each winter he sold about 5000 bushels. Of course,
 things looked very suspicious. The customs officers hid behind fences and rock piles and shivered many a winter night. Spotters and spies were hired and a Government detective loafed around the line saloons for a month in plain sight of the magic little granary, but discovered nothing. It was dark and deserted nights, but in the morn-
 ing A would come and help load his team. The detective would sometimes saunter over and ask foolish questions peek into the bins and look for tracks
 in the snow, and then go back more puzzled than ever,
 I will tell how the Government was outwltted. Between the granary and B's buildings was culvert under the road. A woden spout was made of boards, about a foot square, on some dark and stormy night at the begin ming of which the snow was cleared away, and the spout laid close on the ground in the culvert under the road, under the fences, and into As granary. A belt with cups attached ran inside the spout, and a crank in B's barn was turned to carry the grain. As it was down hill a very little effort would carry stream of oats into As granary a foot square. IA blustery night would obliterate all tracks.
 A pile of brush cut from apple trees was piled between the granary and the road fence; this covered with a drift of snow hid the place where the spout entered the granary on the outside, and on the inside it was covered by sliding back a wooden window. This was all ways pushed back over the hole in the wall when they were loading oats, to admit light, there being no other win doW When it was closed the bin was ip darkness and the hols could not be seen. Of course, the oats were deliver cd in B's. barn in New Brunswick. When the snow began to melt in the spring the sBout was removed and packed aE2y Eatil the next winter.

AIR,s LIFETIME PnWER

One. of the experts at the Blue Hill Observatory, near Boston. who in con- nection swith the kite work done at that place has had an ample oppor- tunity to observe the idosyncrasies of the atmosphere has collected records of a number of curious incidents illus trating the remarkable lifting power of ascending currents of air. While the oyclonic of the air during stress of windstorm is well known, the fact that occasionally ascending currents of air of comparatively great force exists on days of apparent serenity has been overlooked.
 On one occasion a tall kite belonging to MT. Eddy, which had been been raised to an elevation of about fifty feet, was caught in such an ascending current and quickly lifted in an almost

BORDER sMUGGL 1RS WAY DOWN
 HAST

Any person that lives on the bord- CT between Maine and New Brunswick and does not know anything about smuggling must be deaf and dumb and blind. There are many ways to evade the officers.
 In the Madawaska country, between Van Bureau and Fort Kent, the set- tiers are the French Acadians, and all the customs officers in Maine with the Sturgis deputies thrown in if they were there, could not prevent them from getting their gin from across the river I was there once when the good women of 'Aroostock, backed up by the law, sent band of officers to prevent the poor Frenchman from spending his money for gin. The water was high; there was no fording and every boat and ferry for miles was matched. It happened that Xavier G-was out of gin. He kept public house, and noth- ing for his guests to drink did not suit him at all
 But he had something up his sleeve to fool the officers. A barrel of gin from the Canadian side was hauled through the woods to the river, lashed to the under side of log with hay wire, and sent adrift with man on the log. Now, a log can be held at a certain angle in the river and the cur- rent will carry it across in this manner and 1t excltes no suspicion. There was plenty of gin and molasses at Xavier s that day for dinner.
 In places the line runs several miles along side hill, once saw a gang of boys coasting on the crust some forty rods from the road. At the foot of the hill on the American side was a. wood lot and a big pile of sawed wood. The boys had an old pung and close observer would have noticed that they always went In behind an old barn on the Canadian side to start, then they would go like the wind clear down to the woodpile in behind the fir trees,
 And that very moning a man with a double team was there loading wood; the blue jays in the trees probably mo- ticed that he was building funy load in his sled box; ot was hollow in the middle with woodpiles at the sides and ends, and perhaps they noticed that every time the pung load of shouting boys came down the hill they brought

FOUNDED THE ZULU NATION.

 A large section of the Zulus are again at war with the British. Many of them are armed only with assegais and seem to have forgotten the lesson the same white men taught them once that the hurling javelins with which. under the ltad of their great King Tshaka, they conquered the country far and wide, are no match for modern rifles.
 They are doomed to defeat. For six ty years they did not know the mean ing of the word, but they cannot do with the whites as they did with every tribe of South Africa that ever faced them in battle.
 It is only about ninety years since Tshaka took the warpath with the mill itary machine he had evolved. He was the petty chief of petty tribe whom nobody feared; but while the tribes around thought no danger could come from such a source Tshaka was hard at work on his military machine and they heard from him when 1t was ready for use.
 He told his people that war was the only fitting vocation for strong men. He forbade any man to marry till he was forty. Before that time his life and service were the kings and he was nothing but cog wheel In the military machine.
 The time came when Tshaka told a lot of retired soldiers that they must get married. A crowd of the girls put their heads together and decided to re- bel. They said there were plenty of young men, they did not want old hus- bands and rather than marry the cast offs from the army they would remain single.
 It was the last time that the maidens of zululand ever dared to beared the lion of his people. Tshaka killed about two hundred of them and no further objection to old husbands was heard Tshaka's army soon became superior in numbers to that of any other single chief; and he had made of his soldiers a compact fighting machine that would march to death at the word of com | mand There were no ffinchers, be- | cause fiinche1s were killed | He led his army on long marches and

keepers that any attempt to sell liquor
 in any form on that day would be
 punished to the full extent of the law,
 and the customs officers gave notice to
 all that an extra force would guard the
 roads leading from New Brunswick,
 and all persons caught with liquor on i that day would have their teams taken, and be sent to Portland to settle with l United States commissioner
 The day dawned bright and clear,
 and by nine o'clock the trottlng park at the lower end of the town was
 swarming with people to see the races. 1 Half mile away across the fields was
 8 saloon on the boundary line. The 1 thirsty loked at 1t with wistful eyes,
 but to walk there for drink through the grass and grain was too much, and where the officers were thick as flies was not to be thought of.
 Behind the park fence close to lit- | tie brook shaded by thick alders, was dance floor and little booth where lemonade and soft beer were sold There was soon a noisy crowd at this place, and by noon the town and lock- up were full of trunks. More officers
 were sworn in, the saloons were scare through the crowds too look for pocket peddlers, but none was found. The guards on the line road reported all quiet in their direction, and the trunks, when questioned where they got their booze, refused to tell,
 It was a nine days wonder, but at last it leaked out. Some farmers near the line were preparing to lay an aque- duet. They had piled up several large rolls of half-inoh lead pipe. The con- spirators had taken this, and with the laid of a plumber had laid 1t in the grain and grass from the line saloon to the dance floor and booth near the race course. The pipe came out under the counter in the booth, and served both as conductor and speaking tube. The night before a-jiger load of empty bot ties had been smuggled into the alders, and inside of twenty-four hours a thousand of them had been discovered among the 5000 people at the celebra- tion, filled with liquor, beside all that was sold by the glass.-Lewiston Journal.

annexed every tribe he conquered, for he defeated them all. He became mas ter of vast territories, and was never able to occupy all the land he con- quered.
 The effect of his operations was to build the people into a nation and he. the little chief, became king. At a days notice, he could put thousands into the field, and the women and boys who carried supplies for his army, on one occasion at least, numbered fifty thousand.
 The awe and fear he inspired made his will absolute among his people. It was his habit to mete out death to those who failed to carry out his in- structions.
 In all his life this remarkable man enjoyed few luxuries that were beyond the reach of the poorest of his people. He knew no choicer food than boiled beef and beer. His eyes were reddened by the smoke of his ventless hut.
 He slept on a straw mat, with a wooden pillow supporting his bead and @ mantle of skin covering his body, and his clothing was as common as that of an ordinary Zulu. All he wanted was power and he won 1t in full measure. European writers have called him the African Napoleon, and yet this man of iron and savagery wept like a child at the deathbed of his mother after trav- eing eighty mics in an amost incredibly short time to reach her before she died.
 Tshaka's great grandchildren are still alive in Zululand, or over the border in Natal. Some of his descendants are facing a foe whom even the founder of the nation could not have subdued. They may make a good deal of trouble, but, of course, the end of 1t all will be the bitter humiliation of he rebelious Zulus, York Sun.

No sooner had she done so than Il
movement of the sleeper revealed, to
her horror, that she had made a terrible
mistake. Too frightened TO recapture

was in an uproar. The mustard poul-

plosion of his wrath, his howls of rage
as the mustard did its work, brought
servants and manager TO his bedside.
The situation did not permit of an
explanation. Furious with Indignation,
he declared himself the victim Of a
gross joke. and the efforts of the mai
ire d'hotel to pacify him were in vain.
He swOre that the practical joker was
nobody else than Lord Darlington, and

The residents in the vicinity of Tenth
street and Fifth avenue were aroused
from their slumbers last night about l
O'Clock by q quarrel in the street be
tween a man and a woman which wag-
ed warm for a few minutes sounding
like a free-for-all fight. The man and
woman had evidently been out for a
buggy ride and a disagreement be-
tween the couple led to quarrel which
terminated in blows on a porch facing
on Fifth avenue.
Painful Injury Attends Disturbance.
Mrs. Hogan, who resides at 1919
Fifth avenue, was awakened by the
noise and called to her son Matthew F.
Hogan, who was sleeping down stairs.
Mr.. Hogan, in his haste to investigate,
fell, striking his jaw against a chair
and sustaining fracture. He went TO
the home of DR.. First and had the in
jury dressed which, though painful. is
not serious.
The police were notified of the dis
turbance and the fight was stopped.
Both the principals in the quarrel re-
side in the city.
