mongoose as Cat Understudy.

Islands in the tropical or semi-trop-
ical seas furnish ideal conditions for
rats, and in many instances they have
increased until they have become in
tolerable pests, threatening the total
ruin of the inh' ,ants. On one sugar

months.
In Jamaica an effort was made to
suppress them by introducing the mon

VELDT MARKS ITS JEWELLERS
Loneliness and Silence Affect Those
Doomed to Live in Plain of
British South Africa.

Before the Boer war there was a
saying current among the Beers Of
South Africa that you could always
recognize q man who had spent five
years on the veldt This was a saying
no less true then than now, for the
veldt is a place of great silence and
loneliness and 1t leaves its mark on
those who dwell in 1t.
The veldt is the great plain of what
is now British South Africa, the limit
less, featureleSS stretch of prairie dot
ted with knobs of hills that the Beers
call kopjes. pierced and gashed by
rain-waShed gullies that run their
twisting course from horizon to hori-
Zon. The word "veldt' is closely al
lied to the German word for world
or universe" and the relationship is
something more than mere coinci-
dence. To the man standing in the
midst of this plain it seems to extend
limits of space.
The veldt is without sound or color
without striking features to catch the
eye. A days trek among low hills
covered with gray grass, plods wear
lily through mile after mile of the same
hills, and ends in dry valley as like
the valley of the morning as one pea
is like another. after q few days of
this the traveller wonders if his prog
reSS is not mere illusion, if he is not
returning day after day TO the same
spot.
Now and again the monotony is
broken by some veldt farm, place of
exceeding loneliness for the exiles who
till it. There will be a farmhouse,
barn, kraal, a we'll and few huts
for the kaffirs. To the railroad may
be distance of anywhere from 20 to
40 miles. Half the year the roads are
impossible. The little community
must be sufficient unto itself. Life on
veldt farm is a severe test of the
inner resources of man or woman.

PAYS TO GO TO MARKET
Women Of Toulon Buy Foods Much -
Is Custom in Some Ameri-
can Cities.

To the continental woman, market
ing is both time-hallowed custom and
a leading outdoor sport. Europe has
always been far more economical than
America, and this method of careful
food purchasing Is one of the first aids
TO economical housekeeping, according
TO Niksah. You see what you are
getting. there are always opportunities
TO pick up bargains. and there are no
delivery costs. Marketing by telephone
is almost unknown In Europe outside
few big cities, because the telephone
Is not nearly so much a household In
stitution there as here
Toulon market Is open every day
from seven O'Clock until noon. If you
are Toulon housewife Of the upper
class, you sally forth about 10 q. m,
followed by maid with basket or q
cord bag to carry your purchases. If
you are not rich enough to have q
maid, you carry your own vegetables
In an embroidered cloth bag swinging
from your arm. This cloth bag is an
important point, because 1t marks you
as an independent housewife. If you
were to carry a basket or a cord bag,
you would be taken for somebody's
maid.

of flowers and medicinal herbs, and

of everything that will not keep until
the next day and the poorer classes
rush the booths to purchase slightly
damaged but nourishing goods at
ridiculously low prices.

have taken such an active part In the
