UnIucky Nero.

The Italian sculptor, Signor Gallori, modelled about thirty years ago a CO lossal plaster statue of Nero which made him famous. An English con noisseur bought it for f 1000 and had it conveyed to London, where SignOr Gallori went in order to have the plaster model carved in marble
 There is a legend in Rome that Nero is unlUcky and that he brings misfortune. but neither the sculptor nor the purchaser of the statue be lieved it. When the statue was taken to England its owner suffered a do- mestic calamity. His wife eloped with an Italian. He sued for a divorce and when it was granted he remembered Nero's legend and decided to destroy the statue
 Signor Gallori in order to avert this fate from his masterpiece proposed to refund the price paid for it and thus succeeded in saving it. He then made arrangements with a dealer for a private exhibition of the statue, which promised to be great success, but he was suddenly called back to Italy on account of his mothers death Shortly afterward he was informed that the dealer who had

FROM THE CAPE TO CAIRO

After a remarkable journey from the Cape to Cairo. extending in all some l6,12S miles and covering pc riod of 21S days. Miss Charlotte Mansfield. novelist, poet and traveller, reached London recently. When II IS mentioned that Miss Mansfield made the journey unaccompanied, except for native servants, that her Itinerary embraced parts of Central Africa. about which only little is known, and that for weeks at a time she saw no civilized being, the courage required to undertake such an investigation Will De only partially appreciated. The object of the venture was to find out how much of the undeveloped country or Central Africa might be opened out profitably, and to ascertain to what extent Rhodesia answered the lauda- tions of those who have previously spoken of its wealth.
 No white woman has previously made the journey by way of the route taken by Miss Mansfield. From the Cape she went to Broken Hill by rail. after a tour in Buluwayo. and then covered the $40 miles to Abercorn on foot and by means of themachilla-a kind of hammock swung on poles and carried by two natives. From Abercorn she travelled to British Central Africa by rail, subsequently making farther tramp for nine days until Baronga was reached on the northern side of Lake Nyassa Here the governments gun boat conveyed her to Port Johnson, where the machilla was again requisit- toned for three days until Zomba was reached. At Zomba she was entertain

How Boys With the Best Chances
 Are Spoiled at CoiIgee.

When a young man who has been allowed for eighteen years to take always the line of least resistance, and to put the emphasis of his eff forts on seeking excitement instead of doing his work, enters a college which takes it's functions seriously, one of two things happens. If he IS badly spoiled, he is dropped. If he has backbone enough left to escape that fate he wastes conslderapie part of his college course before ne gets hammered into him, by humilia- ton. some realizing sense of what education is and what college IS trying to do.
 That numbers of students come up to our colleges with this attitude and habit is evident Indeed, the arrival every year of many new students who have this attitude and habit Is the chief obstacle to college educa- tion.
 It is rather rare to find a student in college who wants to leave it. The honest pleasures of good comradeship, the glow of the mind and sense Of intellectual vigor which follow even such a slight ability to hold oneself to an intellectual routine as is com parable to the willpower needed to take a cold morning bath, the sense of being initiated into a class which is regarded as distinguished from the rest of the nation by special oppor- tunities to develop intelligence-ali these appeal irresistibly to ingenious youth. Few students of college, how ever used to taking always the line of least resistance, can help feeling that their college course is privilege. But what any college student can help feeling. what numbers of them do help feeling for a part of their course, IS that privilege means duty. They start out to treat the curriculum as if it were a continuous vaudeville. They

 As far as all practical purposes could be served. however, Miss Mans field realized the object of her long journey. During her tour she met Prince Albert of Belgium, who went through Rhodesia en route for the Congo, and in all principal districts she was received by the officials.

ally used is the convenient compressed yeast. but when my pupil had her les sons in brcad-making she had tirst of all to learn to make yeast, as housekeepers then depended almost wholly upon home made yeast.
 And even now, if one lives at quite distance from town, and the grocer doesn't come regularly for orders, 1t IS most convenient to have ones yeast Jug to go to when there is bread to be made. 1 know housekeepers who never iet themselves get oW of this necessary article, generally using the last cupfui with which to start a new supply.
 It is no difficult matter, this of yeast making, as you will soon discover. The dread of undertaking it is far more than the real task of doing it, as is true in so many things. You will need the follow ing ingredients in the given proportions. Simple Ingredients
 One large potato, one tablespoonful oi hops. loose, one pint of boiling water one heaping tablespoonful of flour. one heaping teaspoonful of sugar, one heap ing teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter of teaspoonful of ginger, one-half a yeas' cake dissolved in half cupful of luke warm water or half cupful of yeast Wash the potato well, pare it, and put | at once into cold water. If you neglec to do this the potato will discolor ane spoil the appearance of the yeast.
 Steep the hops in the boiling water. :.

 Be sure you put it where 1t will not be in a draught, or where it will be sub feet to no marked change in temperature. Then you may go away and leave 1t, for the busy yeast is doing its work and get ting it ready for your hands in the morning.
 And there you find it beautifully risen, ready to make into the loaf or the bis cult.

 Baking
 Let it rise until it is light. then bake in an oven in which you can hold the hand twelve seconds without getting too hot: At first you will have to ask advice, and take counsel with someone to whom bread-making is not a novelty, until you have come to know by yourself when the oven, the bread or the rolls are lust right"
