THE DAASJE.
This Queer Little South African Crea-
ture the "Coney" Of the Bibe.

From st. Nicholas.
There is a queer little rock animal found
in thousands in all parts of Cape Colony
South Africa. and called by the Dutch
"daasje'' pronounced in English "dassie'')
This little creature has many other names,
such as the coney, daman. rock badger
and rock rabbit. 1t Is found also in Syria
and is really the "coney' of the Bible. for
one of the Psalms contains this verse: THE
high hills are refuge for the wild goats
and the rocks for the conies." while in the
Book OF Proverbs we read: THE comics are
but feeble folk. yet they make their
houses in the rocks"

but they very soon lost their fear, devel-
oped amazing appetite for new milk
(which they slipped daintily from the point
OF a spoon) and in less than week were
racing and dancing about the place the
merriest mites alive. AS they grew Older
they contracted really remarkable friend
ships. and after trying to attach them
selves to the cat (who would have nothing
to do with them), they took for their con-
slant companion a sedate old Muscovy
duck who allowed the riotous imps to tum-
BILE over her at their sweet will. They
soon developed wonderful gift for jump
ing and climbing. and though at first the
horse and donkey were terrified when the
DAISIES took a flying leap to their shout
ders, they were soon accustomed to 1t and

tie creatures rollcking about on their
backs or stretching themselves luzuriously
to sleep in the warm hair
They are especially attached to the old
donkey. and II they hear him bray in the
distance will spring up from their food or
sleep and rush to his side. standing on
their hind legs and gazing alphabetically
into his ugly face. Their appetites have
become depraved. and they despise the
grass and leaves OF their ancestors, pre-
ferring toasted bread with a spriRkling of
sugar. fruit and other dainties. They seem
not to know what fear is. and will rush
out to examine any new thing. no matter
what its size. and have been seen smelling
al the awful heels of an ostrich or rubbing
noses with the enormous trex-oxen which
pull the wagon, and which are as gentle
as they are huge In the absence of any
other mount they do not despse the beau

cuddie delightedly into the silver curls.
They climb to the tops of the talest trees,
investigate the recesses of the deepest
holes: they love children and are. in fact,
the intimate friends kof every living crea-
ture on the great farm where they live.

THE BEST THINGS TO EAT.
Controversy in Virginia Brings out
Opinions Of Experiences.

from the Norfolk (vaJ Landmark.
Quite a vigorous discussion is under way
in the Charlotte and Greensboro sections
of North Carolina over 1.-The ten best things
to eat
]. E. Wolfe of Greensboro rushes into the
ring with the following suggestions:
The only way to settle the contest is by
a primary. After all the lists are In let 1t
be settled by vote of male voters ranging
from fifteen years up to ninety years. good
appetite being the only qualification re-
quired of the voter.
I give the list in the order they belong in
my opinion:
/. Roasting ears. roasted in shuck in hot
ashes.
2. Broiled Smithfield ham.
3. Smothered quail with gravy
4. Stewed young chicken with gravy.
5. Stewed oysters seasoned to suit taste
q. Mountain trout roasted in the ashes in
a shuck.
Z. Country sausage like our mothers used
to make.
s. Roasting ear pudding.
o. Buckwheat cakes with good butter and
Barbados moasses, washed down with
Mocha coffee
10. Bermuda onions boiled like poached
eggs and seasoned to suit taste.
When Mr.. Wolfe puts down oysters as
only one Of the ten best things to eat he
shows woeful ignorance. Oysters are en-
titled to at least three numbers on the
list. Soft crabs come next; spot and hog
fish are to be added. and lobster will never
be forgotten by intelligent eaters.
This leaves only three places of the ten
untitled. Smothered quail with gravy
sounds all right. We like 1t and admit
II to be the company of the elect. Chicken
of the proper temper and fineness also has
right on the table Of an epicure. but what
does Mr.. Wolfe mean by stewing it instead
of having 1t fried? Smithfeld ham is deli
cious, genuine country sausage Is hard to
beat, and buckwheat cakes as dressed by
Mr.. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.! Away with the
onions and bring a dish of mountain
trout. Canvas back duck properly prepared
Is dish for the gods. and roasted Princess
ously named except oysters and soft crabs.

REFRESHING Chinese Revolutionists.
From the London Globe.

kilograms reaching Berlin from China
represent the province of Shanchufu as In
an appalling condition owing to the
strength of the anti-dynastic rebellion there
and the savage methods of repression used
by the government. Every insurgent who
falls into the hands of the government
troops Is summarily executed. and all SYM
pathizers are similarly treated by the civil
authorities.
At the town of Shanghufu alone COO men
have been decapitated. and in the trees
that surround the court house their heads
hang as thick as Chinese lanterns on gala
night. Notwithstanding this repression the
rebellion continues to make Roadway.

In the language of one of the Jolly

something doing every minute at Chesa-

themselves in other ways
1t is estimated that nearly 5000 people,
young and old, tall and short, fat and
slender, participated in the festivities at
the resort on the Chesapeake, and that as
a result a substantial sum will be added
to the fund which will be used by the MEM
bership of Almas Temple to carry good
cheer into many homes of poverty during
the approaching Christmas holidays.
Mr.. Frank A sSebring, potentate of the
Shriners, and his lieutenants were in evil
dence at all points. and worked with a
will to make everybody happy. The pink
concession tickets issued in booklets by
Almas Temple were purchased by nearly
