TWO OCEAN PASS.An Interesting Description of 8 Hunting Trip\u2014Out for Big @ame\u2014Chasing a Wounded Bull-\u2014Cresping Upon a Dosing Herd\u2014A Caution About Firing.From an interesting article on *\u201cAn Elk Hunt at Two Ocean Pass,\u201d by the Hon.Theodore Roosevelt, in The Century, the following quotation is made: Next morning dawned clear and cold, the sky a glorious blue.Woody end I started to hunt over the great tableland and led our stout horses up the mountain side by elk trails so bad that they had to climb like goats.All these elk trails have one striking peculiarity\u2014they lead through thick timber, but every new and then send off short, well worn branches to some cliff edge or jutting crag commanding a view far and wide over the country beneath.Elk love to stund on these lookout points and scan the valleys and mountains round about.Blue grouse rose from beside our path; Clarke's crows flew past uy, with a hollow, flapping sound, or lighted in the pine tops, calling and flirting their tails; the gray clad whisky jacks, with multitudinous cries, hopped and fluttered near us.Snowshoe rabbits scuttled away, the great furry feet which give them their name already turning white.At last we came out on the great plateau, seamed with deep, narrow ravines.Reaches of pasture alternated with groves and open forests of varying size.Almost, immediately we heard the bugle of a bull elk and saw a big band of cows and calves on the other side of a valley.There were three bulls with them, one very large, and we tried to creep up on them, but the wind was baffling and spoiled our stalk, so we returned to our horses, mounted them and rode a mile farther, toward a large open wood on a hillside.\u2018When within 200 yards we heard directly ahead the bugle of a bull and pulled up short.In a momentl saw him walking through an open glade; he had not seen us.The slight breeze brought us his scent.Elk have a strong characteristic smell; it is usually sweet like that of a herd of Alderney cows, but in old bulls while rutting it is rank, pungent and lasting.We stood motionless till the bull was out of sight, then stole to the wood, tied our horses and trotted after him.He was traveling fast, occasionally calling, whereupon others in the neighborhood would answer.Evidently he had been driven out of some herd by the master bull.He went faster than we did, and while we were vainly trying to overtake him we heard another very loud and sonorous challenge to our left.It came from a ridge crest at the edge of the woods, among some scattered clumps of the northern nut pine, or pinon, a yueer conifer growing very high on the mountains, its multiforked trunk and wide spreading branches giving it the rounded top and at a distance the general look of an oak rather than a pine.We at once walked toward the ridge\u2014up wind.In a minute or two, to our chagrin, we stumbled on an outlying spike 4 ally avddently kept.on.the, ontekirts.tho herd by the master bull.I thought it would alarm all the rest, but\u2019 as we stood motionless it could not see clearly what we were.It stood, ran, stood again, gazed at us and trotted slowly off.We hurried forward as fast as we dared, and with too little care, for we suddenly came in view of two cows.As they raised their heads to look, Woody squatted down where he was, to keep their attention fixed, while I cautiously tried to glip off to one side unobserved.Favored by the neutral tint of my buck- gkin hunting shirt, with which my shoes, leggings and soft hat matched, 1 succeeded.As soon as I was out of sight I ran bard and came up to a hillock crested with pinons, behind which I judged 1 should find the herd.As I approached the crest, their strong, sweet smell smote my nostrils.In another moment I saw the tips of n pair of mighty antlers, and I peered over the crest with my rifle at the ready.Thirty yards off, behind a clump of pinons, stood a huge bull, his head thrown back as he rubbed his shoulders with his horns.There were several cows around him, and one saw me immediately and took alarm.I fired into the bull's shoulder, inflicting a mortal wound; but he went off, and I raced after him at top speed, firing into his flank; then he stopped, very sick, and I broke his neck with a fourth bullet.An elk often hesitates in the first moments of surprise and fright, and does not get really under way for 200 or 800 yards; but when once fairly started he 1any go several miles, even though mortally wounded; therefore the huntor, after his first shot, should run forward as fast as he can, and shoot again and again until the quarry drops.In this way many animals that would otherwise bolostare obtained, especially by the mar who has a repeating rifle.Nevertheless the hunter should beware of being led astray by the ease with which he can fire half a dozen shots from his repeater, and he should alm as carefully with each shot as if it were his last.No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitunl carelessness of ain with the first shot.Occupation for an Invalid.One of the most completo and unique collections of newspaper clippings ever made perhaps was badly damaged by fire in this city about a week ago.It belonged to an invalid who for years hae cut the biographical, political and news matter of different daily journals, and pasted the clippings so obtained on sheets for filing, after the manner of a library card catalogue.À very rich collection of accidents, murders, pickpockets, etc., had been amassed, and obituaries, marriages and sudden deaths appeared by the hundred.The owner, nothing daunted, has ot about baying A newspapers to re] as far as pos- Sie tho op Catised bY the fire.\u2014Phila- delphia Press.An Ingenious Defense.A Pomeranian linesman was tried by court martial on the charge of stealing a comrade's ration of brandy.He set up the following plea: \u201cGentlemen, 1 should really be sorry to pass fora thief.I had observed that my comrade's flaek was getting vld aud would shortly commence to leak.I therefore took his brandy in order to keep it for him.1 put his brandy on the to of mine, but every time I wanted a of my own I was forced to swallow some of his.Bo you see, gentlemen, my intentions wore perfectly pure.\u201d Notwithstanding his clever dofense, the man was sentenced so eight days wlitary confinoment.\u2014Rappel.these holipless onét-à WELL MEANING HINTS, SUT NOT TOO KIND FOR, THE AMATEUR.Music Is Homicida! and Suicidal\u2014It Devours Its Own Childres and Slays Itself \u2014 Radical Changes Concerning Instruments and Sex.As speech to thought, aa pictorial art to external nature, is practical music to music the element.And for this outward and audible art form music is dependent on human mediums, and those human mediums require a certain preparation to fit them for the reception and the transmission of their message.To some people, in whose natures musical sympathy is strong, this preparation comes easily and almost unconsciously, But the great majority need & kind of acclimatization before they can breathe and move freely in an element more or less strange t® them, and this acclimatization is what we know as \u2018\u2018musical culture.\u201d Most people have same latent musical faculty, and this is capable of development, The notion has at any rate died out that it was effeminate for a man to play the plano and impossible for a woman to play the violin.It is not so long since, in the upper classes, no girl's education was considered even approximately complete without a large amount of piano forte drill\u2014musie it shall not be called\u2014while a certain proficiency in this respect was too often held to atore for the absence of all other culture.The violin on the other hand was held to be good only for men; perhaps we should restrict the term and say for fiddlers, Boys now and then learned a little of the instrument at school\u2014a knowledge soon to be dropped and forgotten.The difference now scarcely needs to be pointed out.Boys and girls in numbers, and not a few who are no longer boys or girls, are learning to play on the violin and other stringed instruments.The discovery has been made that, though a virtuoso must begin early, it is not necessary to practice half the day at four or five years old in order to be a good useful player at twenty.Ensemble classes and school orchestras show that on our amateurs the truth is at last dawning that unlimited solo performance is not the ultimate aim of all music training; that while only a gifted few can attain to high individual excellence and finish, the combination of many atoms of good, too small to be of any use singly, may result in an ef- foct which is not only good, but great, so long as music, not self display, is the object sought after.It may be roundly stated as a general truth that musical study proclaims itself on the housetops, without ceasing for an instant to assert itself in the garret, in the basement and at sundry intermediate points.The student's friends assist at every stage of his progress; they are involuntary and mostly unwilling partici- patorsin his difficulties, his perseverance, his triumpls and his despair.Well for themdt two or three such dramas are not on in th¢ house at once, to say nothing-of probable puffs gt melody and hazmsy froma next door or-over the way.v haak ter of magical practice Tita.\u2019 To them it is msuimignificant fact, compared with the fact.that for every victim of coercion who formerly pounded a wiry piano for &-couple of hours a day there now ares dosen studentp of.various instruments and singers gale all practicing away for dear life.Should any link be missing in the continuous chain of sound, itis filled up by barrel organs, street bands, wandering ballad singers, solos on the whistle and other peripatetic instruments.Good, very good, no doubt.The musical crusader looks on the work and congratulates himself.There must be means to all end.Music requires machinery, and the machinery for music is being brought into a most forward state of efficiency.But the music itself, whence in the future is that to come?The \u201cenraged composer\u201d and his troubles have long been a favorite theme for the efforts of humorists, Yet the fact thus comically represented is no joke, and in the present condition of things it threatens to resume ugly proportions, Music is homicidal, suicidal, It devours its own children and slays itself.Silence, the absence or cessation of musical sound, is an absolute necessity for musical thought.But putting on one side the troubles of composers, who after all are comparatively few and far between, the born poor things! to be [shmaels, their hand against every man and every man's hand against them, what on the rest of the world is the effect of this unceasing, often incongruous sound?It is easier to complain than to cure, and far easier to point out these evils than to suggest any effective remedy for them.If architects and builders would take into consideration the diffusion of noise, and would do something to make walls and partitions music proof, it would be much, There are continental towns both in France and Germany where practicing is prohibited by law, except at certain stated hours.For a large and enviable portion of mankind the remedy against the evil lies in getting used to musical sound, and 50 unconscious of it.\u2014 Nineteenth Century.Hospitals in London.There are nineteen general hospitalsin London, eleven of which have medical schools attached, and three are endowed.St.Bartholomew's is the wealthiest and oldest, having been founded in 1128, It has a revenue of about $350,000.The London hospital in Whitechapel road is the largest.The total number of beds in the London hospitals is 8,500.\u2014Pitts- burg Dispatoh.One Bided Education.Mr.Specks\u2014It seems to me & college education makes men rather ono sided.Graduate\u2014That's because they always pull on the same side.They ought to change their crews around onoe in awhile,\u2014Good News.\u2014 A Cheap Soup.A brilliant Belgian, realizing he wi ularity of vege! ef oa che desire to avoid meats as a food,\u201d patented the ides of making a soup from water, into which should be put a teaspoonful of Peruvian guano, This de- coction, he said, would give strength and remarkable nourishing qualities.He failed to say, however, whether or not he was a vegetarian.\u2014 New York News.\u201cLet us remove temptation from the path of youth,\u201d as the frog said when he plone into the water upon sseing boy pick up a stone.A recent despatch from Cheyenne, Wyo., states that T.J.Lyons, editor of the St.Joseph American, of St.Joseph, Mo., attempted to lecture bere last night on \u2018\u2018Romanist Influence io Public Schools.\u201d He received an ivtimation that trouble would ensue if be carried out bis intention.When he appeared he exhibited two six-shooters which be said he would uee if necessary to protect himself.There were about five hundred persons present.Lyons was frequently interrupted during his lecture, and at last he called upon the police and ushers present to clear the hall.Amid a scene of wild confusion this was accomplished.When nearly all the people had got out Lyons touk à revolver in each hand and started to leave the hall.As he reached the door Pat Nolan attempied to disarm him.The crowd closed in upon the two, and Lyons commenced firing.\u2018The ehoot- iug became general and fully fifty shots were fired within a few seconds.Pat Moore, a boiler maker, was shot twice, one of the balls passing through his body, inflicting a probably fatal wound.Policeman Nolan was slabbed in the face and neck, receiving two serious wounds.The shooting scattered the crowd.Lyons, witha body guard of friends, reached bis hotel.An excited crowd of men threatened to lynch him, and followed bim and surrounded the hotel.Sheriff Kelly arrested Lyons in his room and took his revolvers from bim, after which he was taken to Fort Russell for safe keeping.The excitement over the affair is great.If Moore dies an attempt to lynch Lyons will probably be made.Lyons is supposed to have come here under the auspices of an anti Catholic organization which exists in this city.IL is not known who did the stabbing.A MEXICAN SWINDLE.From New Orleans comes the report that a letter from Mexico City makes the following disclosures about the recent troubles on the border.An American capitalist is the authority for this statement.The only revolution there occurred in the newspapers.Of course Garcia existed and was at the head of a small body of men which he kept moving up and down the river making a display but never offering an attack on any military post.Neither did he pillage nor steal.He paid for everything he got.Some lime ago the Mexican Government floated eight millions in bonds in Germany.A big syndicate, amoung the pumber two Americans,saw big money in this, so they set about to depreciate the bonds.A revolution was the surest thing to bring about the desired effect, so one was siarted.Garcia was sent for, and negotiations were eptered into with him.Garcia was TEEN A \u2018and set vp pork.First-he started a 8mall newspaper, in the colamns of which be arraigned Diaz, and particularly his financial policy.When the fruit was ripe he laid down bis pen and buckled on the sword.Apparent alarm was created all through the republic.The syndicate\u2019s agents in New York and San Francisco immediately rushed into print.Correspondents were despatched to the front to write up the revolution, and a glance over their reports show that they never gave an account of a single engagement.Troops were massed on both sides of the Rio Grande, and all the pewspapers fairly teemed with accounts of the revolution.All this time Diaz and his syndicate were snickering in their sleeves.The bait they bad thrown out was quickly swallowed.The parties who had the bonds were seized with alarm and flooded the market with them.Diaz and his partners made several millions through the deal.They paid all the expenses of Garcia, which amounted to but little.\u201d A FARM AFLOAT.A curious legal complication is exciting the inferest of some residents about Chautauqua Lake.On the pight of August 24 a scvere storm visited the country around the lake, aod the next morning a dozen islands were seen where there had been an unbroken lake surface before.These islands, on one eof which large trees wero growing, proved to be great masses of carth broken from the mainland by the storm and driven down the lake by tbe bigh wind.The largest contained about an acre and a half, and bad been broken from tbe farm of Mrs.James Stone.It had been carried four wiles dowo the lake and then lodged in Burtie Bay.This was near the lake front owned by Mr.Chas.Gifford.As that gentleman was not pleased with the unsightly addition to his property, he sold it to C.Wicks, a real estate dealer, for $5, on the promise of the latter to make extensive improvements upon it.At the same time Chas.Neidhert, another real estate man, went to Mrs.Stone and purchased the property from het, paying $5.Now both purchasers claim tue property, aud the courts will be called upon to decide between them The legal fraternity has already he- gun to discuss the case, and some purzling questions arise.Thus-is the property real or personal?I\u20ac personal, being movable, wae it the property of (Le original owner after it had lodged in the highway?If real estate is it properly an accretion of the land against which it lodged, or, having found anchorage in the public highway, docs it revert to (he State?tis argued that, being movable, Mr.Wick\u2019s title will not hold, as he has no right to drive piles in the highway to hold it, while another storm might carry it further down and agaiost another man\u2019s property, or & passing steamer might bitch and pull it away, thus making it (Le property of any reson along the lake front.The belief begins to prevail that the Chautauqua Volley was once à large but a short distance above surface.On Marvin Park so undulating motion of the ground is discernible when a horse passes over il, and when the annual fuir is held upon it many timid persons refuse to remain because of the distinctness of the strange vibration.Also inexhaustible artesinn wells are reached at from 50 to 100 feet below the surface.The city of Jamestown is supplied with water from these wells, which were drilled about four wiles to the east, and some of which flow 500,000 gallons a day.The phenomenon is a remarkable oue, and is likely to engage the attention of the scientists who assemble annually at Chautauqua.Naturally, the owuere of farms along the lake will fecl some uneasiness when the next big storm comes.To have the lake dotted all over wtih little island farms would mar its symmetry, and yet undoubtedly add to its picturesqueness.The Arena For October con tains another paper of the popular series now appearing ia pages on American actors.This is sue deals with Edward Hugh Sothern.It is superbly illustrated and written in a charming style by Miss Mildred Aldrich, the editor of the \u201c\u2018Mahogany Tree\u201d of Boston.Another instalment of the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy in this number will prove of general interest.Among the papers treating serious moral, political and reformative problems are the following, ail of which are from the pens of eminent thinkers: Has Islam a Future?The Negro Question in the South; Should the House of Representatives be Limited to its Present Number?Social and Economic Influences of the Biey- cle, The Church and the World, Astrology, Fin de Siecle, a Plea for the Prohibition Party, and the true character of Christopher Columbus, a scathing arraignment of the great discoverer, in which the author agsails the idealistic conception of Columbus.The last half of the Symposium on Woman's Dress, prepared under the auspices of the National Council of Women, appears in this number.Among the contributors are Lady Har- berton, of London ; Octavia W.Bates and Grace Greenwood.The editor contributes an illustrated paper in favor of improvement in woman\u2019s dress.The Arena is a worthy batlle ground for the most advanced and progressive thinkers and in its pages appears the beat thought of many of the ablest minds of the age.Oause of Panics.Matthew Marshall, the veteran financial writer of the New York Sun, dors not believe that panics drop from the moon or blow up suddenly like a thunderstorm.\u2018They are (he result of a set of causes that have been working steadily for years to proddct \"tiem.When these culminate the crash comes, and he declares that no legislation one way or (he other can stop it.The causes of financial disaster lie deeper than legislation aud are to be found in buman nature itself, which is only another way of saying that if mankind were honest, wise, industrious and energetic they would not need any financial laws of any kind, but could go ahead and manage their affairs on the strength of native gumption.What the chief causes af panics are Mr.Marshall sets forth as follows: The most serious obstacles Lo financial prosperity are not those which are the most talked about and for the removal of which legislative remedies are the most loudly demanded, but those of which little or uo account is taken, and which can be overcome only by individual effort.The want of skill, enterprise and judgment ; the taking of unwise risks in the hope of great and sudden profits, the giving of credit to men undeserving of it and the expansion of business upon borrowed money\u2014all these operate surely and steadily to bring about the frequently recurring financial disasters wrongly attributed to legislation.Up to this time no meaus have been invented for eliminating from business affairs these agencies of evil, and until they are eliminated it is vain to expect uninterrupted financial prosperity.His Only Attempt at Rumor.When Cel.Bill Hicklin was a much younger man thau he is now he lived in Littletown, on the Hannibal and St.Joe rond.Just outside of the town was a high bill and a steep grade, up which trains had great difficulty in making theit way.Bill and some of his companions decided that they were tn have some fun with the rañlroad company, and procuring à lot of grease and soap smeared it on the rails on (bia grade.Soon a passenger train with C.H.Boardman tormerly of this cily, but now a traveling passenger agent of the Burlington, in charge came thundering along.When the wheels struck that greased spot they spun around like lightning, but the train would not budge an inch and even the sand would not bold it.The train was hacked down the track and started up again, but it could not gut over that grease, and after several unsuccessful attempts (he train was sidetracked and a gang of scction men cleared off the rails.Of course this was all fun for Hick- lin and his friends, and (hey would get off by themselves and laugh real loud about it; but the next day s young man came lo the town distributing handbills on which was printed in cold black letters and signed by the superintendent of the road the announoe- ment that the railway company would pay $500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person who had greased the track.Right there and then Hioklin ceased to be a humoriat.In carly twilight he stole ont of town and did Bot return for two years, by which time the incident was forgot- ten.f dent Dominion W.C.T.U , writes a very able review of Cansdian temperance history for tue Union Sigoal, and sums the whole situstion up as follows : Firet-Ttat Local Option and Provincial Probibitory acts are but temporary palliative measures.Secoud\u2014That the final sim and end of Canadian temperance workers must be a Dominion Act providing for the total prohibition of the liquor traffic.Third\u2014That it will be impossible to secure a Domin- jon Prohibitory Act until temperance is made a test question in all elec tions.Fourth\u2014That, to accomplieb this, & new political party must Le organized which will make the total prohibition of the liquor traffic a prominent plank in ite platform.Do provinces possess the right to prohibit the liquor trade?is a question not at all clearly settled, and so far, there is no claim that the right to prohibit is vested in the province.Mr.W.Redford Mulock, one of the ablest mewbers of the Winnepeg bar, says: \u201cIn my opinion the conclusions of the Hon.Mr.Justice Burton are incontro- tible, and that the Manitoba legislature possesses the power lo prohibit the liquor traffic within this province.\u201d The law so far, sustains the Provinces of Ontario and Manitoba in prohibiting the trade by municipalities (local option), and common sense dictates that the right to stop the trade in apy city, town, village or township, includes the right to stop it in all cities, towns, villages and townsLips.The Alliance Crisis.The Dominion Alliance has reached a critical point in its history.It is in exactly the same position to-day as was the Nova Scotia Branch in 1899.The same notice has gone out that the Third Party movement will come up for discussion and the same effort are being made by those opposed to the movement to pack the house.Societies that have never sent & representation to the Alliance for years will this year have a full representation as was the case in Nova Scotia in 1889 when the Grand Division sent ten delegates and paid ten dollars from its funds to qualify them to vote.Some of the very men who were instrumental in defeating the probibition then and have never attended an alliance meeting since are to day going around with » subscription list among their political friends to get money enough to defray their expenses io Montreal.We are to witness a battle royal in which the workers of the alliance are to be pitted against the bangers on who do little but attend conventions on special occasions for the purpose of voting down apy progressive proposals.Should the Dominion Alliance in 1892 vate down the advanced probibition movement as did the Nova Scotia Braoch in 1889 it requires no prophet to predict tif result so far-as the fate of the alliance is concerned.It will meet a speedy death and dishonorable grave as did the Nova Scotia Branch.The active spirits withdrew and left the work to the bangers on and their political masters.Next session, no political question being up to call out the drones, the attendance was small, there was not enough members present to fill the offices or to preside at the funeral ceremonies of tbe defunct organization.From that day to this there has been no signs of its insurrection.If the Dominion alliance wishes to escape the same fate on the 22nd let it adopt & progressive policy and thos win back the good opinion of the working probibitionists.\u2014[Canadian Voice.A Proteotion Party.Here is 8 clipping from the Rat Portage (Ont.) Record, which may suil many friends of the protection of home interests : +The prohibition party is the only real protection party.It proposes to protect the farmer by giving him a chance to buy his supplies at the least coat ; Lo protect the manufacturer by enabling him to compete with the manufacturers of the world ; to protect the mechanic and laborer by enabling them to live more cheaply and freeing them from the bondage of rum; to protect the home by outlawing and banishing the saloon and its kindred evils; to protect men and women by removing temptations from their paths and putting away the incentives to evil doing ; to protect every man\u2019s purse by reducing the expenses cf government, « large proportion of which is caused by strong drink.Is not this protection

the air is forced into the auditorium through a great number of small holes in the floor and in front of the seats, the openings being covered by à wire netting.Before the entrance of an audience the walls aro thoroughly warmed by forcing air heated to 200 degs.into à conduit which delivers the air into a space behind themoulding and close to the floor.The wall is thus heated to a temperature of 100 degs.\u2014a temperature which, by radiation, will keep the audienco comfortable\u2014at the same time ventilating the hall with air at 60 degs., derived from the mixing chamber.All downward cold draftsaro thus prevented, the currents of air all being upward, owing to the heated surface.\u2014New York Sun.Artiatio Auto-Suggestion.I recollect that at the dress rehearsal of \u201cHamlet\u201d M.Mounet-Sully was late.The stage was waiting.Isent to have him summoned by the call boy.Ho returned in a moment and told me that M.Mounet-Sully could not come down from his dressing room then because his cos: tume was not quite ready.\u2018What!

à smaller proportion of them live in hotels and 8 considerably greater proportion in cottages.At Bar Harbor several of the largest hotels have remained closed, not because the vogue of Mount Desert has waned, for it was never so much the fashion, but chiefly because tho island is full of cottages and the \u201cbest people\u201d live in them, thereby damaging the hotels directly by the loss of their own patronage, and indirectly by ceasing to serve them as bait.The tendency whieh is illustrated in an exceptional degree at Bar Harbor is generally noticeable in the majority of the summer places, and & natural and commendablo tendency it is.The part of the population to which it is most essential to get ont of town are the women and children, and for them hotel life oven in the summer is decidedly a second best expedient.The American hotel bred infant, with whom Mr.Henry James in the earlier years of his literary industry helped to make the world familiar, is a type which it is as well should not survive outside of the fiction of the last decade.Without admitting that it ever was a very prevalent type, it is safe enough to assume that the more American children aro enabled to substitute the atmosphere of a summer home for the garish delights of a summer hotel the better it will be for tho manners of the rising generation.Of course it is by no means a new thing for rich Americans to bave summer homes.The growth of moss and ivy on scores of the Newport houses attest that, Of course, too, à suunmer-cot- tage is à luxury, and luxuries are ever prone to make their first bows to the people with the most money.Noverthe- less there are cottages and cottages, and whenever families that have been used to taking refuge in summer hotels once make up their minds that they would like a cottage better there is no sound financial reason why they should not eventually have one.The main diff- culties are to decide where it shall be, and to bring the family\u2019s mind to the point of giving hostages to return to the same place several summers in succession.For of course, unless one is rich enough to have an assortment of scattered dwellings, it 1s an extravagance to build a house unless he is going to occupy it or can rent it.No doubt the possibilities of vagrancy in the summer hotel method constituted originally one of its chief charms.It enabled people to try at least one new place every year, and ascertain finally where they preferred to go.But this very quality in it has helped the development of cottages, since, after a due series of vagrant seasons, tho family is able out of its sufficient experience to do- clare à settled preference for some par- ticularspot.There, the spirit of adventure having given place to the desire for assured comfort, the cottage begins its growth and finally dovelops into a true home, with its accompanying possibilities of hospitality and of continuous accretions of grace and strength.The observer who watches the progress of Amorican civilization must be both interested and edified at the spread of the summer cottage.He finds in it another sign of tho settling population which is in process, and which makes the land constantly pleasanter and more habitable as it goes on.\u2014Harper\u2019s Weekly.An Improved Shuttle.A shuttle manufacturer in Mussa- chusetts has cffected an improvement in that mechanism which promises to bo of considerable practical value in the operations of woolen mills.In lieu of the ordinary hinged spindle for receiving and holding the bobbin of yarn, a short rigid spindle is employed in combination with two holding jaws, one above and the other below the head of the bobbin; tho latter they clasp and securely hold in a central position, a single spiral spring being arranged in the base of the shuttle so as to excrt an equal pressure on the bobbin holding jaws, between which it is placed.As a result of this unique constructicn all splitting of the bobbins arising from the use of the long pointed hinged spindle is obviated, with a consequent saving of waste yarn.The trouble from the breaking of this yarn Ly the canting of the spindle point in the weaving operation is also overcome.\u2014New York Sun.He Followed the Advice.A little jobbing carpenter, unable to get his account for work done paid by his late employer, had at last taken action against him.Tho case came on for trial, defendant not appearing, and the plaintiff was briofly narrating the facts.\u201cAnd did you then call at bis house end demand payment?\u201d asked the mag- tstrate.«I did?\u201d \u201cWhat did ho say?\u201d «He turned mo out of doors and told me to go to my grandmother.\u201d \u201cOh!

announcing the fact that some weeks since, some gentlemen from New York purchased summer residences at Ce- darville.We gladly hail the advent of these gentlemen as a& valuable acquisition to the population of Stan- stead.We are also pleased to learn that there is a prospect of others following in their footsteps, and that ere many years the Lake shore, in the vi cinity of Cedarville, will be dotted with the cotlages of wealthy summer residents.There is certainly no more beautiful spot on the shores of the Memphremagog, and many a tour- iet bas pronounced the scenery equal to the most noted grand scenery of Kurope.In this connection we learn that Mr.Covell, of New York, has purchased the cottage and adjacent three acres of land from Capt.Bullis.Capt.Bullis has also acquired the Lake shore on the farm owned by Mr.E.G.Bodwell, which contains several desirable points for summer col- tages.It is quite probable that these sites, which ave desirable, will be sold to city partice

back of this lies the lack of Lome training, and especially tbe absence of family prayers.Teachers should be trained iu classes, they should present themselves for examination before some S.8.lnstitute, and, counting their calling a high and most diffi- cull one, should spare no pains to fit themselves for it.A want of definite church teaching, want of knowledge of the churcl\u2019s position, history, creeds, &c., was favorably set forth as another very serious defect.After lunch, supplied by the Village ladies with their wonted generosity and delicate good taste, and served in the academy hall, Rev.R.C.Tambs Rector of Magog, gained the closest attention of the audience as he explained to them a diagram of his own construction, as an answer in part Lo the questions assigned Lim, viz.\u2014 «How to teaclr Bible History.\u201d The chart presented gave a skeleton of Old Testament chronology and was divided into four periods of 1000 years each,\u2014from Adam to Chiist\u2014Abra- ham falling exactly midway, and fixed the erection of the Tabernacle and three Temples at respectively 1500, 1000, 500, and a few years before Christ ;

\u201cquick! Would you see the cattle die of the snow and cold?Loose the * oxen from the trek-tows and drive them in between the wagons; that will give them some shelter.\u201d And lighting a lantern he sprang out iuto the snow.At last it wns done\u2014no easy task, for the numbed hands of the Kaffirs could scarcely loosen the frozen reins.The wagons were outspanned side by side with a space between them, and into this space the mob of thirty-six oxen was driven and there secured by reine tied crosswise from the front and hind wheels of the wagons.Then the white man crept back to his bed, and the shivering natives, fortified with gin, or squareface, as it is called locally, took refuge on the second wagon, drawing a tent sail over them.\u201cIf the snow goes on 1 shall lose my oxen,\u201d he said to himself; \u201cthey can never bear this cold.\u201d Hardly had the words passed his lips when the wagon shook; there was a sound of breaking reins and trampling hoofs.Once more he looked forth.The oxen had \u201cskrecked\u201d in a mob, running away to find ehelter from the cold.{i J Then the old man told Mm the tale that + 1s set out here.Such search as could be made revealed nothing.\u2018The oxen had gone, and their spoor was obliterated by the fresh fallen snow.The white man called a council of his Kaffir servants.\u201cWhat was to be done?\u201d he asked.Then a Zulu spoke, who was the driver of the first wagon.«My father,\u201d he said to the white man, \u201cthis is my word: The oxen are lost in the snow.No man knows whither they have gone, or whether they live or are now but hides and bones.Yet at the kraal yonder,\u201d and he pointed to > some huts about two miles away on the hillside, \u201clives a witch doctor named Zweete.He is old-very old\u2014but he has wisdom, and he can tell you where the oxen are if any man may, my fa ther.\u201d \u201cStuff!\u201d said the white man.\u201cStill, as the kraal cannot be colder than this wagon, we will go and ask Zweete.An hour later he stood in the hut of Zweete.Before him was a very ancient man, a mere bag of bones, with sightless eyes, and with one hand\u2014hia left\u2014 white and shriveled.\u201cWhat do you seek of Zweete, my white father?\" asked the old man in a thin voice.\u2018You do not believe in me and my wisdom; why should I help you?Yet I will do it, though it is against your law, and you do wrong to ask me.Yes, to show you there is truth in us Zulu doctors, I will help you.My father, | know what you seek.You seek to know where your oxen have run for shelter from the cold! Is it not so?\u201d \" It is so, doctor,\u201d answered the white juan.\u2018You have long ears.\u201d \u201cYes, my white father, 1 have long ears, and yet they say 1 grow deaf.1 have keen eyes also, yet I cannot sce your face.Let me hearken.Let me look.\u201d For awhile he sat silent, rocking to and fro; then he spoke: \u2018You have a farm, white man, down near Pine Town, fait not?Ah! 1 thought so.And an hour's ride from your farm lives a Boer with four fingers only on his right band.There is a kloof on the Boer's farm where grow mimosa trees.There, in the kloof, you shall find your oxen\u2014yes, five days\u2019 journey from bere you shall find them all.1 say all, my father, except three only\u2014the big black Afri- cander ox, the little red Zulu ox with one horn and the speckled ox.These you shall not find, for they Lave died in the snow.Send and you shall find the others.No, no! Iask nofee.Idonot work wonders for reward.Why should M Lam rich.\u201d And now the white man scoffed.But in the end, so great is the power of superstition, he sent.And here it may be stated that on the eleventh day of his sojourn at the kraal of Zweete those whom he sent returned with the oxen, except the three only.After that he scoffed no more.Those eleven days Le spent in a hut of the old man's kraal, and every afternoon he came and talked with him, sitting far into the night.On the third day he asked Zweete how it was that his left hand was white and shriveled, and who were Umslopogaas, and Nada, of whom he had let fall some words.Then the old man told him the tale that is set out here.Or, in truth, he acted rather than told his story.Waa the death of a warrior in question, he stabbed with his stick, showing how the blow fell and where; did the story grow sorrowful, he groaned, or even wept.Moreover, he had many voices, one for each of the actors in his tale.This man.-ancient and withered, seemed to live again in the far past.It was the past that spoke to his listener, telling of deeds long forgotten, of deeds that are no more known.CHAPTER L THE JOY CHAKA PROPHESIES.You ask me, my father, to tell you the tale of Umslopogaas, who was named Bulalio the Slaughterer, and of his love for Nada, the most beautiful of Zuln women.It is long, but if 1 live to tell à it ahall he told.You think that I am an old, old witch doctor named Zweete.Bo all men have thought for many years; but that is not my name.None have known it, and though | now live under the law of the white man, and the Great Queen is my chieftainess, an assegui yet might find this heart did any kmow my name.Look on this hand, my father\u2014no, not that which is withered with fire; look on this right hand of mine.You see it, though | who am blind cannot.Bat il], within me | see it as once it was Ayel | ace it red and strong, red with the blood of two kings.Hearken, my father; bend yourear to mo and hearken.| am Mopo\u2014ah! | felt you start; you start as the regiment of the Bees started when Mopo walked before their ranks, and from tho sssegai in his hand the blood of Chaka dropped slowly to the earth.[Chaka, the Zulu Napoleon, was one of the greatest geniuses and most wicked men who ever lived.He was killed in the year 1828, having slangh- tered more than a million human beings.| | am Mopo who slow Chaka the king.| slew him with Dingaan and Umhlangana the princes; but the wound was mine that his life crept out of, and but for me he would never have been slain.| slew him with the princes, but Dingasn 1 and one other slew alone.\u201cWhat do you say?Dingaan died by the Tongola?\u201d\u2019 Yes, yes, ho died, but not there.Ie died on the Ghost mountain.He lies on the breast of the old Stone Witch, who sits aloft forever waiting for the world to perish.But i, 1 also was on the Ghost mountain.In those days my feet still could travel fast, and vengeance would not let mesleep.| traveled by day, and by night 1 found him.{and another, we killed him\u2014ah! ah!

my father, her Ehlose told her truc.While my mother talked, 1 and the cow with the white face stood still and watched, and the baby Baleka cried aloud.The boy, Unandf\u2019s son, having taken the gourd.did not offer the water his mother.He drank two-thirds of himself; | think he would have drank been alaked, but gave what was finished it.other he had a short stick.\u201cWhat is your name, boy?\" he nid to me.«Mopo is my name,\u201d J answered.«And what is the name of your pec I told him the name of my tribe, the tribe.\u201cVery well, Mopo; now I will tell you my name.My name is Chaka, son of Senzangacons, and my people are called the Amsrulu.And now I will tell you something more.| am little today, and my people are a little people.But | shall grow big, and my people shall grow big with me.They shall eat up the whole world.And when I am big and my people are big and we have stamped the earth flat as far as men can travel, then | will remember your tribe\u2014the tribe of the Langeni, who would not give me and my mother a cup of milk when we were weary.You see this gourd; for every drop it will hold the blood of a man shall low\u2014the blood of one of your men.But because you gave me the water 1 will spare you, aud you only, and make you great under me.You alone | will never harm.That 1 swear.But for that woman,\u201d and he pointed to my mother, \u201clet her make haste and die, so that 1 donot have to teach her what a long time death can take to come.I have spoken.\u201d My mother stood still awhile, Then the gasped out: \u201cThe little liar! He tpeaks like a man, does he?The calf lows like a bull, I will teach him another note\u2014the brat of an evil prophet!\u201d And putting down Baleka she ran at the boy.Chaka stood quite still til) she was near; then suddenly he lifted the stick in his hand and hit her so hard on the head that she fell down.After that he laughed, turned and went away with his mother.I went to my mother.Presently she raised herself from the ground and eat up with her hands over her face.The blood from tho wound the stick had made ran down her hands on her breast, and | wiped it away with grass.Sho gat for a long while thus, while thechild cried, the cow lowed to Leo milked and I wiped away the blood with the grass.At last she took her hands away and spoke to me.\u201cMopo, my son,\u201d she said, \u201c1 have arcamed 8 dream.I dreamed that 3 saw the boy Chaka who struck me; he was grown like a giant.He stalked across the mountains and the weldt, his eyes biazed like the lightning and in bis hand he shook a little assegai that was red with blood.He caugkt up people after people in his hands and tore them; he stamped their kraals flat with his feet.Before him was the green of summer: behind him the land was black as when the fires have eaten the grass.1 saw our people, Mopo; they were many and fat, their hearts laughed, the men were brave, the girls were fair; I count- ¢d their children by hundreds.1 saw them again, Mopo.They were bones, white bones, thousands of bones tumbled together in a rocky place, and he, Chaka, stood over the bones and laughed till the earth shook.Then, Mopo, 1 saw you grown a man.You alone were left of our people.You crept up behind the giant Chaka, and with yon came others, great men of a royal look.You stabbed him with a little spear and he fell down and grow small again; he fell down and prayed for mercy.But you cried in his ear a namo\u2014the name of Balcka, your sister\u2014and he died.Mopo, let us go home.So he turned and went home.CHAPTER IL MOPO 18 IN TROUBLE.Now I must tell how my mother did what the boy Chaka had told her, and died quickly.For where his stick had struck her on the forehead there came a sore that would not bLe healed, and in the sore grew an abscess, and the ab- acess ate inward till it came to the brain.Then my mother fell down and died, and | cried very much, for I loved her.After that my brothers poisoned the mind of my father against me and he treated me badly.But Baleka and 1 loved each other, and she clung to me like a creeper to the only tree in a plain.Now 1 saw that the witch finders and medicine men were feared in the land, and that all people looked up to them, so that even when they had only a stick in \u2018their hands, ten men armed with spears would fly before them.Thero- fore 1 determined that 1 would be a witch doctor.So I learned the arts of the medicine men.1 mado sacrifices and 1 learned much; for there is wisdom in our magic as well as lies.So things went on till I was twenty years of age.By now | had learned all I could learn of myself, so 1 joined myself onto the chief medicine man of our tribe, who was named Noma.He was old, had one eye only and was very clever.Of him 1 learned, but at last ho grew jealous of me and set a trap to catch me.As it chanced, a big man of a neighboring tribe had lost some cattle, and came with gifts to Noma praying him to smell them out.Noma tried and coulé not; his magic failed.Then the headman grew angry and demanded back Lis gifts, but Noma would not give up that which he once had held.The headiwan said that he would kill Noma; Noma said that ho would bewitch the headman.\u201cPeace,\u201d 1 said, for I feared that blood would be shed.\u201cPeace, and let mo see if my snake will tell mo where the cattlo arc?\u201d «You are nothing but a boy,\u201d answered the headman.\u201cCan a boy have wis dom?\u201d \u201cThat shall soon be known,\u201d 1 said, taking the bones in my hand.«Leave the bones alone!\u201d screamed Nowa.\u201cWe will ask nothing moro of our snakes for the good of this son of a dog.\u201d «Ilo shall throw the bones,\u201d answered the headman.\u201cIf you try to stop him I will let sunshine through you with my assegni.\u201d Then I threw the bones; my snakestood up.| knew nothing of the man's cattle, but my spirit was with me, and soon 1 gaw them all, and told him, too, where they were.Now tho man was much pleased, and said that if my magic was good, and he found the cattle, tho gift should bo taken from Noma and given to mo.Noma was very angry.It was a big herd of cattle, and if they were found where I had said, then all men would Liold me the greater wizard.Now the headman said that at the first light he would go with me to the spot where my snake said tho cattle were.1, too, went into my hut and luy down to sleep.Suddenly I awoke, feeling a weight upon my breast.I tried to start up, but something cold pricked my throat.1 fell back again and looked.The door of the hut was open.The moon lay low on the sky, like a ball of fire far away.I could sce it through the door, and its light crept into the hut.It fell upon the face of Noms, the witch doctor.He was seated across me, glaring at me with his one eye, and in his hand was a knife.It was that which I had felt prick my throat.\u201cYou whelp, whom I have bred up, to tear me!\" he hissed into my car.\u201cYou dared to divine where I failed, did you?\u201d and be began driving in the knifo under my chin.\u201cMercy, wy uncle\u201d | eaid.\u201cHave mercy, and I will do whatever you willl\u201d \u201cWill you do this?\u201d he asked, still pricking me with the knife.\u201cWill you get np, go find the dog's cattle and drive them to à certain place und hide them there?\u201d and he named a secret valloy that was known to very few.\u201cIf you do that I will spare you and give you three of the cows.If you refuse or play me false, then, by my fathers spirit, 1 will find à way to kill you!\u201d \u201cCertainly will do it, my uncle,\u201d 1 answered.\u201cWhy did you not trust me before?Had | known that you wanted to keep the cattle | would never have smelled them out.[only did so, fearing lest you should lose the presents.\u201d «Yuu are not so wicked as 1 thought,\u201d he growled.\u201cGet up, then, and do my bidding.You can bo back here in two bours after dawn.\u201d Bo I got up, thinking all the while if I should try to spring on him.But I was witbout aras, and he had the knife; also, if perchance I had provailed and killed him it would have been thought that 1 bad murdered bim, and I should have tasted the assegai.Sul made another plan.| would go and find the cattle in the valley where I had smelt them out, but I would not bring them to the secret hiding place.No, I would drive them straight to the kraal and denounce Noma before the chief, my father, and all the people.But I was young in those days, and did not know all the heart of Noma.I went to the corner of my hut, Noma watching me oll the while, and took a kerrie and a small sbicld.Then 1 started through the moonli;ht.For an honr I traveled swiftly over the plain, till I came to the hillside where'the bush began.At last I found the little buffalo path 1 sought, and turned along it.Presently | camo to an open place where the moonlight crept in between the trees.| knelt down and looked.Yes! my snake had not lied to me; there was the spoor of the cattle! Then | went on gladly till 1 reached a dell through which the water ran softly.Here the trail of the cattle was broad; they had broken down the ferns with their feet and trampled tho grass flat.Presently | came to a pool.1 knew it\u2014 it was the pool my snake had shown me.I stepped forward and looked round.My eye canght something; it was the faint gray light of the dawn glinting on the cattle\u2019s horns.Then 1 collected them and drove them before me down the narrow path back toward the kraal.Now the daylight came quickly, and the sun had been up an hour when I reached the spot where I should turn if I wished to hide the cattle in the secret place, as Noma had bid me.But this 1 would not do.No, 1 would go on to the kraal with them, and tell all men that Noma was a thief.Still, I sat down and rested awhile, for [ was tired.As I sat, I heard a noise and looked up.There, over the slope of the rise, came a crowd of men, and leading them was Noma, and by his side ! the headman who owned tho cattle.| stood still wondering, but as | stood they ran toward me, shouting and waving sticks and spears.\u201cThere he is!\u201d screamed Noma.\u2018There ho isl\u2014the clever boy whom 1 have brought up to bring shame on me.What did ! tell you?Did | not tell you that he was a thief?Yes\u2014yes! | know your tricks, Mopo, my child! See! ho is stealing the cattle!\u201d And he made a rush at me with his stick lifted, and after him came the headman, grunting with rage.1 understood, my father.My heart went mad in me.Everything began to swim round; ared cloth seemed to lift itself up and down before my eyes.| have always seen it thus when I was forced to fight.| screamed out onc word only\u2014*\u2018Liar!\"\u2014and rushed to meet him.On came Noma.He struck at me with his kerrie, but 1 caught the blow upon wy little shield and hit back.Wow! 1did hit! The skull of Noma met my kerrie, and down he fell, dead at my fees.[yelled again and rushed on at the headman.He threw an asse- gai, but it missed me, and next second 1 Lit him too.He got up his shield, but J knocked it down upon his head, and over he rolled senseless.Whether he lived or died | know not, but his head being of the thickest 1 think it likely that he lived.Then, while the peoplo stood astonished, I turned and ran.They turned, too, and ran after me.But none of them could catch me, and presently | was out of sight and alone.CHAPTER IL MOPO VENTURES HOME.1 threw myself down on the grass and panted till my strength came back; then I went und hid in a patch of reeds down by a swamp.All day long 1 lay there thinking.What was 1 to do?Now 1 was a jackal without a hole.[If I went back to my people, certainly they would kill me, whom they thought a thicf, My blood would be given for Noms, and that | did not wish, though my Leart was sad.Then there came into my mind the thought of Chaka, the boy to whom | had given the cup of water long ago.1 had heard of him; his name was known in the land.The words he had said and the vision that my mother had seen were beginning to come true.He had taken the place of his father, Sen- zangacons.Now ! remembered how this Chaka promised that he would mako me great, and I thought in myself that I would arise and go to him.Perhaps he would kill me; well, what did it matter?| should certainly be killed if ! staid here.Yes, I would go.But now my heart pulled another way.There was but one thing that I loved in the world\u2014it was my sister Baleka.My father had betrothed her to the chief of a neighboring tribe, but | know that this marriage was against her wish.Perhaps my sister would run away with me if 1 could get near her to tell her that | was going.1 would try\u2014yes, | would try.1 waited till the darkness came down, then | went on till | came to the kraal.Some of my people were seated ontside of a hut, talking together over a fire.1 crept near silently as a snake and hid behind a little bush.| knew that they could not see me outside the ring of the firelight, and | wanted to hear what they said.As [ thought, they were talking of me and called me many names.They said l should bring ill luck on the tribe by having killed so great a witch doctor as Noma, also that the people of tho headman would demand payment for the assault on him.1 learned, moreover, that my father had ordered all the men of the tribe out to hunt for na on the morrow, and to kill me wherever they found me.\u201cAh!\u201d 1 thonght, \u201cyou may hunt, but you will bring nothing home to the pot.\u201d Just then a dog that was lying by the fire got up and began to eniff the air.1 could not see what dog it was\u2014indeed I had forgotten all about the dogs when I drew near the kraal; that is what comes of want of experience, my father.The dog sniffed and sniffed, then he began to growl, looking always my way, and 1 grew afraid.\u201cWhat is the dog growling at?said one man to another.\u201cGo and see.\u201d But the other man was taking snuff and did not like to move.\u201cLet the dog go and see for himself,\u201d ho answered, snees- ing; \u2018what is the good of keeping a dog it you have to catch the thief\u201d \u201cGo on, then,\u201d said tho first man to the dog, and bo ran forward, barking.Then 1 saw him; it was my own Gog, 1008, 8 very good dog.Presently, as I lay not knowing what to do, he smelled my smell, stopped barking, and running around the bush he found me and began to lick my face.\u201cBe quiet, Koos,\u201d | whis- perod to him, and he lay down by my side.«Where has that dog gone now?\u201d said the first man.\u201cIs he bewitched, that he suddenly stops barking and does not come back?\u201d \u201cWe will see,\u201d said tho other, rising.à spear in his band.Now ! was once more terribly afraid, for I thought that they would catch me or | must run for my life again.But as I sprang up to run a big black snake glided between the men and went off toward the huts, They jumped aside in a great fright, then all turned to follow the snake, saying that this was what the dog was barking at.When they had gone 1 crept off tho other way, and Koos followed me.At first 1 thought that I would kill him, lest be should betray me; but when | called him to me to knock him on the head 1 could not do it.50 I thought | would take my chance, aud we went on together.This was my purpose: First to crecp into my own hut and get my assczais and skin blanket, then to gain speech with Buleka.I came to the reed fence that surrounded tho huts.Nobody was to be scen at the gato, which was not shut with thorns as usual.That was my duty, and I had not been there to do it.So, bidding the dog lie down outside, I stepped through boldly, came to the door of my hut and listened.It was empty; there was not even à breath to be heard.So I crept in and began to search for my assegais, my water gourd and my wood pillow.Now the kraal of the chief, my father, Makedama, was two hundred paces away, und there | must go, for there Baleka slept.Also 1 dared not enter by the gate, because a man was always on guard there.So | cut my way through the reed fence with my assegai and crept to the hut where Baleka was with some of her half sisters.1 knew on what side of tho hut it was ber custom to lie and where her head would be.So 1lay down on my side and gently, very gently, began to bore a hole in the grass covering of the hut.Almost 1 gave it over, thinking that | would fly alone, when suddenly I beard a girl wako and begin to cry on tho other side of the thatch.Ah,\u201d | thought, \u201cthat is Bale- ka, who weeps for her brother!\u201d Sol put my lips where tho thatch was thinnest and whispered: \u201cBaleka, my sister! Baleka, do not weep! I, Mopo, am here.Say not a word, but rise.Come out of the hut, bringing your skin blanket.\u201d Baleka understood, and after awhile crept from the hut.\u201cWhy are you here?\u201d sho whispered as we met.\u2018Surely you will be killed!\u201d \u201cHush!\u201d L said.\u201cWill you come with me, or will you creep back into the hut and bid me farewell?\u201d She thought awhile, then she said, \u201cNo, my brother, 1 will come, though 1 believe that this will be the end of it\u2014 that you will lead me to my death.\u201d So we slipped away together, followed by tho dog Koos, and soon were running toward the country of the Zulu tribe.CHAPTER IV.THE FLIGHT OF MOPO AND PALEKA.Shouted out loud and charged me.All tho rest of that night we journeyed, till even the dog was tired.Then we hid in a mealie field for a day, as we were afraid of being seen.Toward the afternoon we heard voices, and looking through tho stems of the mealies we saw a party of my father\u2019s men pass searching for us.They went on to a neighboring kraal to ask if we had been seen, and after that we saw them no more for awhile.At night we traveled again, but, as fate would have it, we were met by an old woman, who looked oddly at us but said nothing.After that we pushed on day and night, for we knew that the old woman would tell the pursuers if she met them; and so indeed it turned out.But now I was doubtful whether we would ge to Chaka, for after what we had seen | grew afraid lest he should kill us.Still we had nowhere to turn, go I said that we would walk along till something happened.Now wo grew faint with hunger and weariness, and Baleka said that we had better sit down and die, for then there would be no more tronble.So we sat down by a spring.Lut I did not wish to die yet, though Baleka was right, and it would havo been well to do so.As we sat, the dog Koos went to a bush that was near, and presently 1 heard him spring at something and the sound of struggling.I ran to the bush; he bad caught hold of a duiker buck, as big as himself, that was asleep in it.Then | drove my spear into the buck and shouted for joy.for here was food.When the buck was dead 1 skinned him, and we took bits of the flesh, washed them in the water aud ate them, for we had no fire to cook them with, It is not nice to ent uncooked flesh, but wo were so hungry that we did not mind, and strength cameo back to us from the food.When wo had eaten what we could we rose and washed onr- selves at the spring: but as we washed Baleka looked ap and gave a cry of fear For there, on the crest of the hill, about ten spear throws away, were a party of six armed men, and these men people of my own tribe\u2014children of my father Makedama\u2014 who still pursued us to take us or slay us, They saw us; they raised a shout and began to run.We too sprang up and ran, Before us the ground was open and sloped down to tho banks of the White Umfolozi.We ran for tho river.After us camo the warriors, Now we neared tho banks of the river: it was full and wide.Above us the waters ran angrily.breaking into swirls of white where they passed over sunken rocks; below was a rapid, in which nono might live; between the two a deep pool, where the b water was quict but the stream strong.\u201cAh! my brother, what shall wo do\u201d gasped Baleka.\u201cThere is this to choose,\u201d 1 answered \u201cperish on the spears of our peuple or try the river.\u201d \u201cEasier to dio by water than on iron,\u201d she answered.[TO BE CONTINUED.) Pardon, Monsieur, M.Ernest Guiraud, tho clever French musician, was renowned for his deferential courtesy.It is said of him that he was once overheard, on leaving his house, apologizing to himself for go first.\u2014London Globe.soing Mrs Win.Williams, Baroeton, writen: For over 20 years pust 1 have
