the best things in the world. 1t is
true that goodness and kindness have
no faces that we can kiss: no hands

work and u play. And this goodness
and kindness which, except in outward
acts, we cannot see, is something
] which existed before We were born.
1t is from this that we have all the
pleasant things of this world; the
flowers, the sunshine, the moonlight
all these were given us by some great
kindness and goodness which we have
never seen at all. And this goodness
and love are that great Power from
whom all things come.

An Artists Generosity.

The famous painter Corot and his
sister were joint owners of some
house property in the Faubourg Pois

"a tailor-came to Corot and said he
could not pay his rent.
What can l do for you?" asked
Corot. 81 cannot intercede for you
with my sister, because / am not or

The tailor after this used to return
periodically when his rent was due ant

But Stoffel had come home for a

rags and n small bottle containing
some liquid. Tenderly he stanched
the flow of blood with the rags and
emptied some of the fluid into the

another bottle. His faith in the rene.

application of rags and bottles. But,
growing weaker and weaker, his
thoughts naturally turned to his kind

The most curious part of the festi

young baboon grew up he became very
there was no mistaking his gratitude.
But one morning. to the great sur
prise of Mother Pincus, young lady
baboon came down from the hills and
began to make love to Stoffel. Nearly
a week passed before she finally tri-
umphed and led him away.
The following morning, however, he
returned, and after watching him for
a day or two, Mother Pincus concluded
that considerable business was mixed
up with his love affair. Indeed, the
Beers, who relate almost incredible
stories about the intelligence of these
colored balloons, claim that the en-
bassy of the maiden was merely a
trick to seduce him from his al
legiance to his benefactress and that.

leadership of the baboon army on &C.
count of his preeminent intelligence
and knowledge of the outside world.
One day horseman galloped up to
the store and reported that war had
broken out between the Beers and the
Macatees and that the balloons in the
pass were evidently aware of the fact,
for swarms of them were coming down
from the heights and were preparing
for trouble. Ten days later the Beers
were defeated with considerable loss
at Johannes Kop and, encouraged by
the tidings, the Mapock Kafirs flew to
arms and rushed up the valley towards
Steelpoort, burning and Staying. At
their approach the women and chill
dren on the farms fed in terror, and
just before nightfall nearly 100 of
these panic-stricken refugees entered
the pass, with a large commando of
Kafirs close at their heels.
The story of the encounter that fol-
lowed between the balloons and the
Kafirs is derived partly from the &C.

cipally from survey of the battle.

SLEPT IN A FURNACE.
Terrible Experience of Manchester
Tramp.

London.-"O Lord, save mel" were
the startling words that greeted the
cars Of the men who had just fired a
Statffordshirc iron furnace the other
morning. At first they ridiculed the
voice and suspected a trick Then the
cries were repeated, and when the
charging door of the furnace was
opened scorched and blackened fig.
ure leapeds from the rising flames out
among them. At the hospital the man
gave his name as Perry, and said that
he hailed from Manchester.
The furnace, which is at the works
Of the Midland Coal, Coke and Iron
Company at Apedale, near Newcastle
Under-Lyme, is adjacent to the high
way, and Perry, tramping past
thought that it would make a good
resting place for the night. The fur.
mace is used for the purpose of re-
ducing very large pieces of iron-too
large to be dealt with in an ordinary
cupOla oven.
1t SO happened that the bars in this
particular furnace had been taken out.
So Perry crept in, and, once inside,
mounted a small dam and finally
reached the melting chamber proper,
where he lay down and went to sleep.
At six the next morning the work.
men came, loaded the furnace with
bars, and the firebox with coal. Then
they started the fire, which was well
under way when they heard the cry:
20 Lord, save mel"
In order to get out of the melting
chamber Perry had to climb over the
dam and jump through the scorching
flames to the charging hole. Had he
been five minutes later he would have
been burned to death.

a pile of dynamite sticks lying near a

ORIGIN OF THE HORSE.
The Modern Animal a cross Between
Two Ancient Breeds.

In Wissen fur ALE Professor koenig
discusses in some detail the origin of
the horse of today. He finds that the
horse of neolithic times was not spe-
officially distinct from the horse Of the
present. While there is no doubt that
the horse of that period was used by
man for food, there seems to be no con-
elusive evidence as to whether it was
domesticated or not. His own opinion,
however, is that it was probably do
mesticated.
The horse of that time was closely
allied to the tarpan or semiwild horse
that lived in southern Russia up to Il
century ago. This was hog named"
short legged. large headed beast. 1t
seems probable that the domesticated
horses Of the Germans Of Caesars time
We're derived from this breed.
The Egyptians had horses as early
as 1900 B. c. These We're long named,
more like the Arab horses, and came
from Assyrla. Where the Assyrians
obtained them is unknown, but it was
probably from southern Asia. where
this long named breed has been devel-
oped in all probability Us the result of
long continued domestication. The
modern horse il cross between these
two breeds, with further mixture of
the Arab horse. This Arab horse, too,
was itself descendant Of the earlier
long named horse.
The origin of the long named horse is
q matter of doubt, but Professor Koe-
mig thinks it may have been from an
extinct Indian species.

The Story ~ Il 10 Recorded on the
Tomhstonss.
In the early part Of the last century
there lived In an old New England
town Mr.. Church, who. in the course
Of his pilgrimage through this vale Of
tears. was bereft of four wives, all Of
whom were buried In the same lot. In
his old age 1t became necessary to re-
move the bodies to new cemetery.
This melancholy task the much be-
reayed widower undertook himself,
but In the process the bones of the ia-
mented quartet became hopelessly
mixed. Priding himself on possession
Of a New England conscience, Mr..
Church would not, under the painful
circumstances, permit the use of the
original headstones, but procured new
ones. one of which bore the following
inscription: Here lies Hannah Church
and probably portion of Emily" An
other: Sacred to the memory Of Emf
ly Church. who seems to be mixed
with Matilda" Then followed these
lines:
Stranger, pause and drop tear,
For Emily Church lies buried here,
Mixed In some perplexing manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably Han
