A FRACT .oUs HIPPOPOTAMUs.

Mr.. Simpson, visitor from Bir-
mingham, England, and his niece.
Miss Simpson, recently arrived at
Buluwayo from the Victoria Falls.
and Mr.. Simpson related to the Chron.
icle representative some details of a
startling adventure which the party
had during their visit.
One morning Mr.. and Miss Simp-
son, having engaged boat, en-
barked on trip of inspection of the
islands on the river. Besides Mr.. and
Miss Simpson, there were also the
boatman on board, and six native
paddlers. After getting out some
distance a hippo was seen protruding
his ugly mouth and making directly
for the boat. The natives commenced
instantly to paddle to the shore, and
then it was noticed that the hippo had
sunk into the water again. The
boatman, fearful of some misadven-
ture, had reached for his rifle, and
was just in the act of loading when
the boat was heaved into the air by
the brute, who had got underneath it.
Every one was flung into the water.
which at this spot was estimated to be
about thirteen feet deep. The over
hanging branches of some trees on
the island were sufficiently near to
permit of being grasped by Mr.. Simp-
son as he came to the surface, and he
hung tightly, as he had already
grasped the hand Of his niece, who
had disappeared beneath the water.
Each was in great danger, however.
for Mr.. Simpsons leg was entangled
in part of the branch in the water.
sand he was unable to move. Mean
while, the boatman, who was an ex-
cellent swimmer, had made his way
along to them, and after desperate
struggle, succeeded by means of the
branch in getting them to land

CHAPTER XII.
Brothers and Rivals.

The following evening Charles
Mistley arrived. This evening, un-
important though it may appear, hal
been awaited with some dread by
Mrs. Wright; indeed, perhaps Mrs
Mistley herself may have had some
misgivings on the matter, though
she betrayed no signs of such.
Mrs. Wright shrewdly suspected
that the intruder, Ambition, was in
possession of VINEYARD Mistley's
heart; but woman-like, she promptly
thought it possible that the sad dog,
Love, might be prowling around in
search of his own rights; and her in
stinct told her that the plan of as
sault most to be feared was the
Adonis-like attack, sudden and dar-
ing.
During the last two years Lenas
mother had thought good deal upon
the subject of young men in general
and Charles Mistley in particular.
The more she saw of that grave
young sailor, the stronger grew her
liking for him. She soon learned
that his gravity by no means denoted
a dullness of intellect, and discov-
cred each day some new proof of his
thoughtfulness for others and for
getfulness of self-qualities which
find greater favor with elderly than
young ladies. Gradually she dropped
into the habit of encouraging the
friendship which had sprung up be-
tween him and Lena, rejecting that
II 1t grew into something stronger
than friendship, Charles Mistley was
worthy of any woman's love. There
was, however, that grim fact of his
being a sailor, which was forever
forcing itself upon her notice, and
would not be permanently quelled
by the ,cflection that there are many
appointments on shore within reach
of sailors who, like Charles Mistley,
have a moderate income and a GER
tain influence at headquarters.
The you ger brother, Winyard, had
never entered into Mrs. Wright's
thoughts in the matter, and 10! here
he was, barely fortnight at home,
complicating things most terribly by
calmly establishing a friendship re-
markably like that which had caused
30 much uneasiness already. What
ever the result might be, this shrewd
little woman of the world knew that
no good would come of it; she held
the opinion that the influence of G.
young woman over q young man can
be of no earthly use to him. Alto
gether, Mrs Wright had no desire to
witness the experiment between her
daughter and either of the Mistleys.
1t is a dangerous experiment and
desperately unprofitably one. oh,
youthful inuuirer-an experiment
best left one, as the writer of these
poor lines can testify, having burned
his fingers over 1t!

New Zcaland's Prosperity.

The following gives some idea OF
the progress made by New Zealand in
fifty years: In 1858 the population
was $4,000. The land cultivated
measured 100000 acres, and the live
stock numbered 1,716,000. The fig
ures in 1907 were 100000 persons.
100000 acres and 23, 900 head
Cf stock. The deposits in bank fifty
years ago amounted to G44S,000 com.
pared with &23,517,000 in 1907. The
Savings Bank held $4,000, against
&12,S25, 900 in 1907. The vessels
belonging to New Zealand fifty years
ago represented 1000 tons gross; now
they total 10000 tons. The exports
in 1853 made total value OF &434,.
coo, as compared with s17,300,000
in 1907. The values of the principal
exports show enormous increases in
wool, butter, cheese, flax, gold, gum
meat and coal.-Scottish American.

AMERICAS 100000
TRAP SHOOTERS


In no other country has the sport
of trap shooting attained the degree
Of popularity that 1t enjoys to-day in
the United States. 1t is practiced to
some extent in England and the an
nual winter tournament at Monte
Carlo, in which the titled trap shots
of Europe participate, of course en-.
joys a worldwide reputation as
leading fixture in competitions with
the shotgun. The Monte Carlo tour.
nament, however, is what is known
among sportsmen as "live bird"
event - that Is, the shooting Is at
pigeons, released from ground traps
on signal, and the birds, as they soar
swiftly in the air and take rapid flight
in varying directions, tax the skill of
the marksman to a point that makes
a perfect score in a twenty-five or
fifty bird contest an accomplishment
rarely achieved. In the United States,
however. public sentiment has pro-
hibited by law the shooting of pig
cons from traps, and, while 1t is still
permissible in few States, 1t is prac-
ticed to but little extent.
AS a substitute for the pigeon the
artificial or blue Rock" target has
come into vogue, and the saucer
shaper projectiles, formed of pitch
tar and thrown from spring traps at
about the flight that covey of quail
would take when flushed, test the
skill of the shooter to almost as great
a degree.
1t is estimated that there are, in
the United States and Canada, ap-
proximately 100000 trap shooters,
and this number is being increased
rapidly from year to year. The ma.
jority of these are members of or
ganized gun clubs which own or lease
their shooting grounds, and which
hold club shoots regularly from
March to December of each year As
each Of these shooters owns one or
more shotguns, and fires from 800 to
$500 shots a season, each shot being
fired at target thrown from a trap,
it can readily be understood that they
are no mean factors on the prosperity
of the gun and ammunition trade of
the country. The fact that single
manufacturer of targets last year
furnished 21,0OO,0OO targets to the
gun clubs and sportsmen's supply
dealers of the country will give some
idea of the extent to which the sport
is INDUCED in.-Success.

How Fashions Originate.
BY LOUISE CASS EVANS

While doubtless that first modifl-
cation of the merely useful garb
which We call fashion was induced by
the instructive feminine desire to
please the male eye, rivalry with her
own sex has subordinated this aim.
A severely plain head covering is USE
full; when the fair wearer put feath.
er in her hat she surely won mascu.
line approval-for there was the
decorative touch. But when other
women, dominated by an ambition to
excel, used the whole bird and sev.
eral strange feathers beside, the or.
iginal aim of pleasing the masculine
eye was lost in bitter strife to go
gorgeous sister "one better" Then
the contest was OLA contest that
has brought to an astonished and not
utterly inartistic world such exhibits
as the hoopskirt, the puffed sleeves.
the Merry Widow hat and the much.
constructing corset. Indeed, in the
making of women's fashions enter
every motive that has ever impelled
femininity-andth the greatest of these
is rivalry. This is merely one writ.
er's opinion, but it has the philosophy
Of human nature to strengthen the
theory.
In these latter days of combina.
tions and industrial aggregations it is
interesting to note that fashion has
followed the current of the times.
For were one fashion to run through
two seasons, what would the makers
of feminine apparel profit? Two
thirds of the sex would surely wear
the same garb till it was called in"
for be it said, the better half" OF
the world does not spend good money
with pronounced ocular results.
So we have the yearly or semi.
yearly change Of fashion. From some
strange quarter of Paris or Vienna or
London comes annually the n.ws of
the proper thing" The Queen of
England, perhaps, has designedly or
unwittingly put a plum-colored belt
on with a dark-blue riding habit,
and, presto! the wires carry the news
to the worlds fashion centres, the
facile fashion artists devise costly
combination of this "the latest" the
fashion magazines bear the tidings to
the waiting feminine world. A new
fashion has sprung into existence, the
fashion dctators reap a financial re-
ward, the dressmakers add to their
bank account, the world of women
wearing plum-colored belts and blue
riding habits add to their spiritual
contentment-and maybe the sur
prised Queen of England, who has
changed her belt, looks on in amused
wonder. From do Women Dress

eHu ny mcanS or gentle suggestions,
he arranged all the preliminaries,
and even fixed the day for the first
rehearsal before leaving Sandoe that
evening.
Heavy clouds had been stealing up
over the hills for some hours, and
as tho gate swung to behind the
colonel's horse, large sullen drops
began to fall into the dusty ROAD.
The colonel led the way down the
green lane, keeping up a steady trot
despite the roughness of the path.
At last the rain began in earnest,
and he pulled up to suggest that Lena
should put on her Jacket she had
strapped to her saddle.
"You two light-weights can soon
catch me up, he said, riding of.
Lena stopped in the middle of the
lane, and proceeded to endeavor, un-
aided, to loosen the straps around
her jacket; but her gloves were wet,
and the slippery leather refused to
submit. Then Mistley forced his
horse into the ditch and so reached
her side.
II have no gloves on" he said,
quietly, as he leaned over and took
possession of the straps.
THANK you," said she, looking
rather anxiously after her retreating
parent.
In a moment Winyard had un-
buckled the straps and shaken out
the short thick jacket. Then he took
her bride in his disengaged hand,
and so left her free. But fortune
was against her; tNn COLLAR of the
jacket got turned in, and Mistley had
to take both reins in one hand while
he leaned back and assisted her.
When he had done this, and Lena
had hecured the last button, she held
out her hand for the reins; but he
retained them for moment longer.
"Am l forgiven?" he asked.
For what?" Lena looked rather
markedly at the sky, as if in gentle
protest against being detained in the
rain.
For having my own way"
"Oh, l do not mind acting the
part she replied, with short laugh.
1t is in little incidents-in the
trivialities of everyday life-that
a man shows his knowledge of human
nature. VINEYARD now suddenly
abandoned the subjest, and drew
aside to let Lena pass.

ATTRIBUTE CRIME
TO TUBERCULOSIS.
Philadelphia Scientists Declare
the Disease Affects Both Mind
and Morals. ~

That insanity, criminal and immor-
al tendencies, idiocy or an entire re-
versal of the previous mental poise
and moral standard are conditions
that may accompany tuberculosis
either in its incipient or chronic
stages science has now asserted to be
a certainty.
DR.. Lawrence F. Flick, expert tu-
berculosis physician, and DR.. D. J.
Mccarthy. expert criminologist, have
just made known remarkable discov-
cries that have resulted from inves-
legations they have been making for
several years at the Henry Phipps In
stitute for the treatment, study and
prevention of tuberculosis.
According to the new discovery, 1t
is said by the physicians. even devout
persons may become immoral, honest
men turn thieves, optimists become
pessimists and healthy minded men
become almost inebriates with little
or no sense of moral responsibility.
And these conditions may Jake place
long before any sign of tuberculosis
Is apparent.
DR.. Mccarthy is not yet willing to
state positively to science the cause
of this change in mental condition.
He thinks 1t is not so much that the
tubercle bacilli attack the brain It's
sues, as that it is due to the produc-
ton of mental and nervous exhaus-
tion consequent upon the ailment.
Loss of sleep is an important fac
tor" DR.. Mccarthy says, "but it may
also be due to either lack of prop
er blood supply to the brain or by
interference with the functions of the
heart.
"The impoverished state Of the
blood is partly responsible for the de-
lusions and hallucinations experienced
by so many tuberculosis patients.
Dreams assume such real proportions
in the patients mind that they often
regard them as communicated from
heaven.
"A case under my personal obser.
vation for years showed delusions &C
companied by various homicidal at.
tempts. Another case was that of =
man who developed insanity almost
year before tuberculosis made its
first appearance. Yet an autopsy af-
ter death showed that the lung dis
ease had begun before the insanity
symptoms showed themselves.
Patients sometimes insist that
they are able to see and speak with
relatives who have long been dead.
While in the House of Rest, in New
York City, one man, who subsequent
ly became one of our patients, insist
ed that poison was being placed in
his food. He attempted to assault
and threatened to kill the superin-
tendent.
still another patient claimed that
he was in the habit of receiving COM
munications from his father, whom
we afterward found had been dead
for several years. Another insisted
that his dead father came to his room
at all hours of the day and night and
wrote messages on the walls by
means of piece of straw.
Another victim saw queer pic
lures when awake and one woman
was continually calling our attention
to procession of people dressed all
in white which seemed to appear con-
stantly before her."
