GOLD IN RHoDEgIA

Consul John H. Snodgrass OF Pre-
toria furnishes the following report on
the mining and industrial development
of the British-Afriean colony OF Rho
desia:
.sThe expansion OF the gold industry
In Rhodesia to the annual production
of 100000, 900 OF the metal has been ac-
complished by the small investor and
individual effort rather than by means
OF capital Small reefs have been dis
covered in this territory, and many are
confidently predicting that Rhodesia in
few years may perhaps excel the
Transvaal In the productien Of the
precious metalsJ Small operators with
little capital by their ewn efforts have
OF late been extracting nearly one
third Of the total amount OF gold
found, and their earnings have been
spent mostly in the colony, as a con-
sequence Of which there has been a re-
vival Of trade. While such crops as
tobacco, cotton and wool have been try
Ing 70 and their way into the distant
markets, local demands for grain,
fruits ard fresh meats are being met
more and more by the Rhodesian agrl
culturists themselves.
"Rhodesia's output Of other minerals
than. gold has increased and several
new industries have come into life dur
ing the year. Pioneer settlers along
the Cape to Cairo railroad have proved
that what could be done In South
Africa could also be done farther
north, and some remarkable crops have
been grown. The Kafue river, the
bridging Of which was an engineering
feat second only to that accomplished
at tho Victoria falls, afterward proved
to be useful waterway, for 1t extends
100 miles, and several steam and sail
ing craft have already been put on it.
The close OF 1905 saw that launching
OF a great scheme for the supply Of
electricity for the Rand, and Rhodesia
is Interested in this from the fact that
it is the intention to derive a vast
amount OF that power from the Vic.
toria falls
I'm the return Of generally Rho.
desian prosperity it Is only natural
that the railways should play an I'm
portant part, though they have suf-
fered badly as other lines Of indus
try on account Of the long drawn-out
depression that overcast all South
Africa. The report Of the Rhodesian
railways for the year 1906 shows that
the gross earnings for the first eleven
months totaled S2,393,50O which Is
equal to S2,661,OO0 per annum, as
against $2,31e,5O0 in 1906; the net
revenue was S9Ss,500, as compared
with 1884 900 In 1905. This represents
an annual gain Of 12% per cent In net
income. An approximate estimate of
the traffic during the year puts the
gross earnings at $2,711,OOO and the
net revenue at 81 Ola, 500"

Many young people have wondered
how the goosebe-ry got its name. sup
posing. quite naturally. that the fruit
must have some connection with a
goose. Here Is the explanation: Goose
berries are called in German johannis-
beeren. that is ''St. Johns berries"
because they ripen about the time OF
the feast Of ST John ST John is
called in Holland st. Jan, and the fruit
Is there called jansbeeren. This word
was centuries ago corrupted into gans-
heeren, Of which our English word
gooseberries is literal translation.

The Party OF the Winds.

up in the sky to come and play. North
east was so merry and mad that he
Driskly blew and friskily few, getting
ready for his party.
He whisked the leaves and twisted
the trees, and broke off twigs with
greatest ease. He was awkward, too,
and made big hullabaloo, for the lit
tie work he had to do. But at last all
was ready and the guests began to
arrive. North and East came togeth-
er; they were cousins in weather.
North was quite bright chap, with
a cool manner and clear complexion.
He brought as present some glorious,
glittering icicles.
East was high-spirited maiden.

and she brought gift Of puffy, fluffy
snow.
The three winds played while.
They made little twirls and whirls In
the SNOW, then they made little tossings
and crossings Of the twigs in the tree
tops They bristled and whistled, they
hustled and hustled and tussled.
But when they heard West Wind
coming, the three went away and bic
in the deep, dark wood.
West was such mild gentle little
lady she was quite contented all h,
herself, and smiled sweetly and played
little lonely but lively games of puf
and Whit. Then she went away.
She tried to find the hidden ones
but although she blew into every cracl
and crevice, and raised Il terrible dust
she could not find North, Northeast o
East.
Then South came, and finding no on

Little Ling Loo
Found giants shoe;
The shoe was broad and deep.
Ling Loo got inside
And did gayiy ride
Across the ocean deep.
To an isle he went
On adventure bent,
AS he sailed in the giants shoe.
So he landed awhile
On the bonny isle,
For he'd nothing else to do.
While he rested there
In the fresh night air
A step was heard hard by.
Ling Loo took peep
Up the mountain Steep
Then, frightened, began to cry.
For a giant strobe
Ger the mountain road,
Coming straight towards little Ling Loo
And one foot was bare
AS it cleft the air,
For the giant wore but one shoe.
"Ah, ha ~ he CRIED
When Ling Loo he spied,
little chap, you've got my shoe.
But, come, dry your eye;
You needn't cry
For I'll tell you what III do.
'I'll let you stand
On my outstretched hand;
1t will bridge the ocean deep.
Then, when | say Go"
Be ready, you know,
TO make the home-stretch leap"
So little Ling Loo
Did what you would do;
He jumped on the giants hand;
And with one mighty leap
Crossed the ocean deep
TO his own celestial land.

tionabiy lost through the agency Of
purely preventa bles%disesses stated
In the ineontroversabie data Of the
statistics compiled by these gentle
men who are endeavoring TO per-
form the greatest possible service for
humanity, has auickened the public
conscience and awakened an interest
that seems to have fairly swept both
the people and the scientists OF their
feet. The success Of the initial warn
ing seemingly opened broad and in
viting avenues to those who would
warn US OF the dangers which lie
concealed upon every hand to nab
us and at least one OF the learned
gentlemen has strayed upon the old
cund which has ever meant fall
ure to those who would thus serve
the race.
DR.. Joseph G. Bryant, physician
to the late Grover Cleveland and
Professor of surgery in Bellevue Med
ical College, New York, before a
large audience composed chiefly of
physicians, which assembled at the
tuberculosis exhibition, recently de-
clared.
Human mating, based on good
sense rather than on bekuiling senti-
ment alone would add much, indeed,
to the enduring fiber OF the human
race"
That truism is as old as Adam
and has been consistently disregard
ed ever since 1t was promulgated by
the original ancestor Of the race. APP
parently there is something about the
species which maintains Cupid on
his throne in spite of every possible
onslaught which may be brought by
either science or sense. There is that
about the Influence of the little god
which laughs to scorn wisdom as
well as locksmiths, and his devotees
and subjects have continued down
the aeons of time in delicious dis
regard of every influence, save SEN
timent, In their plans to propagate
the species. 1t is true that in these
latter days position and even vile
money and reasons of state have in
isolated and occasional instances up
set the Vaccinations Of the busy Mr.
Cupid, but the great mass has con-
tinued, and unfortunately, 1t ap-
pears, will continue devoted slaves to
do his bidding
1t will be great day when the
race realizes, as Dr. Bryant realizes,
the Importance of health and the ex-
ercise of good sense in the selection
of mate, but the learned gentle
man has debouched into position
which holds out no hope of success
There may be stronger reason than
sentiment in contracting the mar
riage relation, but if there be, so far
it has not been demonstrated, and
the idea of good sense In connection
with affairs of the heart is too good
to be true-Fort Worth Record.
