ENJOYING THE HoRsEFLEsH.

Beef was very scarce in Ladysmith during the
siege. but General Sir Ian Hamilton then a
colonel, insisted that horse is not half bad
when properly cooked and when one is used 10

WIFI all sample. OF course, there's beef too
tonight"
Every one at the table preferred the beef
with the exception of Colonies Ward and Ian
Hamilton. who ostentatiously carved generous
slices from the "horsefiesh."
The dinner was nearly over. when one of the
servants whispered communication to Ward.
Up he sprang. I'm distressed. gentlemen"
he announced to the startled company. "A silly

Chances were exchanged: mustaches were

Then a voice from the bottom of the table
piped up: "Oh, don't distress yourself Ward

NORWEGIAN WHALE FISHERIES.

The Norwegian whale fisheries extend over
nearly the whole of the Arctic Sea. from the
North of Norway toward Spitzbergen, and even
to the Shetland Islands. The whales are shot
from small steamers, the bomb harpoon bein.
used which is an arrow shaped iron spear fur
nished with a line. II is discharged from a
small cannon. A whale will drag the vessel a
long distance until II becomes exhausted and
expires. 1t is then towed TO the anchorage
where II is stripped OF the blubber. This whale
fishery was begun In 1865. Thirty whales were
killed In the first year. One thousand and
eighty whales were taken IN 1897, when 51S men
were engaged on twenty-five steamers. At first
only the blubber utilized for train oil; now
the bones are crushed for manure and the flesh

During the last few years no one class of food
in the daily diet has so increased in popularity
and deserVedly Increased, has fruit in its va

the heavier kinds of edibles which have hereto

experience or from the experiences of their fell

fruit is conducive to longer life and greater in
ternal comfort. Others whose purses have ever
been kept on a slim diet finding that by eat
ing fruit they save on their meat bills and in
cidentally fatten their purses. Many. tired Of
the regularly prescribed form of the daily menu,
have Of late found that a grateful variety may

A VORACIOUS MONSTER.
Gold Mining Dredge DeUours the
Pleasant Meads.
BY Charles Van Norden.

The first attempt to extract the gold Of ths
pliocene river. dep osits in California on large
scale by what is known as hydraulic min
ing In 1881 the Superior Court OF Sacramento
County enjoined this method of mining. and
when the appealed to both the SUI
preme Court of the state and the federal courts
in 1884 a Circuit Court sustained the adverse
decision and the same year the highest judi
ciary of California did likewise This ended the
hydraulic industry until the Caminetti act OF
Congress permitted the of water batteries
in modified and carefully guarded form.
On the recent river mouth deposits, where
hydraulicking had never been feasible. a very
early attempt to secure the gold by dredging
had been made. There was a dredge at Oro-
vile in the SOS. but the machinery Of that day
was not well suited to the work. and the re-
suits financially were dscouraging No doubt
the prohibition of hydraulic mining stimulated
improvements in dredging machinery and meth
DDS. and at the present time the dredge min
ing industry represents the highest possible
safety in investment. the highest possible in
tellgence in invention of machinery and the
most perfect details of operation.
The property once acquired, the first move
ment to secure the gold, known from careful
tests to exist in the SOIL is to build a dredge
that will float water. Unless the deposft be
under a river already sufficiently deep a pond
must be provided. This may be ACCOMPLISHED bv

 Di grew suddenly pale. ana her eyes looked violent instead of black. T don't believe he's going to Paris!" she exclaimed.
 ''1 know he's going. And I know he's going especially to see Maxine.''
 Tt can't be. He told me tonight he wouldn't cross the street to see her. I-I made it condition-that if he found he cared enough for her to want to see her again. he must go of course' but he must give up all thought of me If I'm to reign, I must reign alone"
 Well. then, on thinking it over he probably did find that he wanted to see her."
 NO. For he loved me just as much when we parted. only half an hour ago."
 "Yet at least two hours ago. he'd ar- ranged a meeting with Maxine for to- morrow afternoon"

COURT IN CENTERvILLE. Not Single Case of Homicide on
 nnUlraf


 Centerville. Sept. 2.-(Speciai l-The criminal docket ia the Circuit Cont here was compile ed Friday and a Ie- markable record was made. 'rhere were forty convictions and pleas of guilty the largest number st any one term in the history of he county. Not a single case that went to the jury resulted in an acquittal.
 The fines amouned to about $1,50O, and nine defendants were sent to hard labor for the county and two were sent to the penitentiary.
 For the first time in perhaps a quar- ter of a century, there is not a single case of homicide in any degree upon the dockets of Bibb County criminal courts, and there was not a single in- dictment for homicide returned by the grand jury that was recently in ses- sion, although that body returned more than 100 indictments.
 Today the civil docket was taken up and the remainder of the two weeks will be devoted to civil work. It now looks like Judge Miller will clear the docket duringsthis term.
 A most interesting protracted meet ing is in progress at Pleasant Hill Church about four miles west of Gen. treville. The services are held in a large tent in the grove near the church and great crowds of people attend these services. The regular pastor, Mir Overton, is assisted by an eminent divine from Bessemer.
 Senator Reynolds and Editor Nunne- lee attended a big barbecue and edu- cational meeting in Perry County yes terday They report most pleasant day and much interest manifested in educational affairs.

As for me, I should have been delighted to set fire to the whole lot.
 At last Lord Mountstuart (whom I've nieknarned .Stewey0 remembered that there was a ball going on. and that he was the host.
