Suggestions on Improvement ofthe Home and Grounds.

Article Wrlttan by Practical Van'cape Gardener and Having Re-

gard to Conditions Hers.

Editor Tub Ihdbx:The many inquiries which I have

regarding the method to pursueIn improving the appearance of the

rn.iri.la around the bnnvs of our peopleleads roa to present through the columnscf jour paper the following method.Those inquiries are very commendablefor they reveal the fuct that the people

tíeaire more attractive and valuablehornos. The great supply of water andthe mild climate anile In making ourTal'rj? a vory favored eput in which tocurry on these operation, hence theirexecution will result very profitably toty-C- who intend to take advantage of

tie facts.If the home is already established

i-- eo all that cau be doDe is the grading,planting of troca and shruba and theawing of lawo grass seed. It is always

bet to permit the water to flow on tothe lawn from the rear. This will avoidnaming the uasightly ditches whichmust be mado if toe water is procaredfrom the front. A. curved walk from thegate to the residonce is usually more de-

sirable than a straight one for it admitsmore of an artistic arrangement of treesand shrubs upon the lawn. Either ele-

vate the wal sufficiently to keep thewater off or make a ridge on each side oftha walk to confine the wuter to thelawn. It often occurs that platu ofdifferent elevations must be made toirrigate 'he lawn. Each piat may con-

sist of hundreds of square feet or evonthousandth providing it is perfectly level.)',ach one of those plats must be sur-

rounded by a ridge from four to Six

inches in height to hold the water untilthe whole clat is covered It is a goodp! tn to turn the water onto the lawnbefore tne seou it sowu io ascertain iuoelevations. You can not devote too muchtime to this part of the work, for a lawnnot graded perfectly ever afterwardscauses difficulty in irrigating it. Welldecomposed manure absolutely free of

all weed seed should be applied inabundance and either spaded or culti-vated into the soil. The treesand shrubBshould now be planted and a ward hereregarding the arrangement of them willbe in order.

The natural or graceful style is nowadmitted by all people of good taste tobe the ideal system of arranging treesend shruba. By thia ia meant to followcaturo'a system which consists of grouping in irregular outlines all trees, Bhrubsand flower beds. This system of plant-ing will admit the sun's rays to full uponthe lawn at intervals during the da.which is absolutely necessary if a goodlawn is deuired. The part in the roar ofthe residence should be planted thicklyto low growing and pyramidal trees. Thiswill ffive that cozy, peaceful look somuch desired by every one. Do notulant the Lombardy poplars directly inthe rear of the residence but a little toone Bide. In fact, these Lombardysshould be planted on tbe highest elevations and always in groups. The Caro-

lina Poolar is now a very popular tree allover the couutry and ia really the fastesterower of aDy of the desirable KindsPlant this tree quito thickly in the rear,also a very few on the front lawn. TheWhite Ash, Silver Maple and E'mare allbeautiful trees and are worthy orpeneralplanting. The Wisconsin and liabylon-ia- a

willows are the strongest growers, oftheir kind, and are indeed oeautitultrees. Howover. like the poplars, theyBbould he planted only iu certain locations. The one is indicative of life andactivity, tho others of rest. Among

' shrubs, the Snowball, Lilac, A I thouWeigelia and Almond are all very desir-able and deserve to be generally planted.Of the rose family I prefer the hybridtea class. These bloom freely during

vary month of the growing season andare classed among tbe most beautifuland fragrant of roses. La France,Duchess of Albany, Augustine üuino-sea- u.

Meteor, Souvenir of Wooten, arethe leading varieties. A mulching ofleaves or straw is all that is uecoasary tokwp them from severe freezing. A roseor bhrub bed should receive a largeaaiount of rotted manure thoroughlysailed with the soil. Never place manureo direct contact with the roots of any

tree nr plant.A suitable place fur a shrub or rose

Lnl ; mi 'm I.ia.. l.oideili;g o:i .In;eurvo of the walk. This will give thawalk a natural appearance, for a curvedwalk with no apparent cause wouldseem ridiculous. Throw up a littleatound of earth around all tiees andsi rubs. This is done to protect theB tot: h from the water. Iiake oil or breakall lumps of earth that still remain ontbe surface of tbe lawn.

I have experimented with all varietiesof lawn grass seed and have discardedall save the English Uye (Irars. This isone of Europe's favorite lawn grubsesand although inierior to the Kentuckyblue Grass in its rich green color, yetowing to its heavy weight and great germinuting power is ÍHr superior to anyother kind where irrigation must lie re-

sorted to. One pound to 100 square feetis sufficient. The thicker the seed issown the sooner a good sod will be obtaiaed. Step backwards towards the'wind and sow a space about three feetwide very carefully. Rake tho seed iathoroughly with a hand harrow ixadoby driving spikes into two pieces of 2x4,each piece about three feet in lengthand hi Id 1 feet apart by two pieces cfnarrow boards. To this attach a ropeby which it can be dragged over thelawn. You can- - not harrow the seed toouiucli. The more it is harrowed thebetter will the seed be covered. A goodrolling with a hand roller is uIbo verydeairable fur it prevents tlie eved freinbeing wahhed about the lawn.

The report of the Cuttle SanitaryHoard of New Mexico has recently, been

issued. It is compiled by .1. A. Ijslviie,secretary ut the board, and illustratestho flourishing condition of the cattlebusinena of the sontbwest.

Speaking of New Mezico,the secretaryobserves: ''The increase of the herdson the range during the past year hasbeen much better than cattlemen hadany reason to ezpect." He utates thattho improvement in grade is very mark-ed. The rangea are iu splendid condi-

tion, and the mildness cf the winterhas left stock in tine shape. Feed isabundant, and the water supply is suffi-

cient.The board has done careful and highly

successful work tiuv.wh its inspectorsin reducing the mi', it i f cattle in herdsabout to be rem .1 the territoryorto evado tin. . 1 for which no

legul authoi ily j j .u.t' . "ild be shown,from the severs! l.nn.lrH; of thotifsudsof a few years ago to Ihfs than a hundredhead during 1899. Cuttle thieves havebeen vigorously prosecuted, and in thefourth judical district alone thirty oneof these were convicted and sentencedto penal servitude during the year, while

a number of caeea arealiil pendiug.The work of brands has

been concluded. Nearly two thirds of

the blanda which encumbered the rec-

ords, many of them known to have beenfraudulently used in burning out otherbrands, have been elminated from therecords, and only those brands in actualuse and belonging to actual owners of

cattle are now record.There was not much complaint about

the Iobs of young stock by wolves. Many

cattlemen at their own ezpense havecarried on a war of exterminationagainst théin. The health of New Mez

CONDITION CATTLE INDUSTRY.

FARMINGTOX.

ico cattle is very good, and during theyear not a single cuse requiring the at-

tention of a veterinarian w as reported.During the year lsr,07l cattlo were

se.it to market from New Mexico. Theirvalue was 3,347,5.12. No reliable dataas to the number of cattle slaughteredwithin tho territory could bo securedowing to adverse legislation, which per-

mits hides to bo taken out of tho terri-tory without either Inspection or

Mr. La Rue makes a number ofsuggestions to stock owners which areto their interest to bend. CvttUvaenshould give prompt information ofmavericks or brands ictended to coversome brand already in une. All cattlobrands should tie promptly recorded, as

that is the only and proper way bvwhich stockmen ran perfect title totheir property. The practico of thecourts is now to requeire claiinul toprove thoir ownership of cattlo iu que,tion by a certificate of record,

Tho report dwells upon the injusticeof allowing hides to be taken out of theterritory without inspection, saying:"This great itiduutry, employing morecapital and promptly pay by far thegreatest proportion of taxes for thesupport of the government and of terri-torial institutions, io be be so discrim-inated against fur the convenience andprofit of parties who handle its prod-

ucts is an outrage that should not beimposed and cannot be patiently en-

dured."Tho ooard during the year disbursed

$14,431.09 and has a balance on hand of$3,788.21. The receipts were 85.SG9.37

for inspection fees, tl,Gl8.2D for stays,s .Id, and 18,379 30 from the cattle indem-nity fund. There was a balance of12,303.11 in the treasury January 1, 1809.

Ideal Apple Country.The Roewell Record prints an inter

view as follows with a gentleman whohad ascertained New Mexico's qualifica-tions as an apple producer. The condition in the Pecos vulley and in San Juancounty are somewhat similar, and thearticle therefor bears on tbe local situation:

"The strangost thing to me in thiacountry of strange things is the

of the Híír Deía ríri!1said 8. F. Marple, a prospecting Uoos- -

ier, the other day. "I never imaginedit possible to find it a passable eatingapple and my experience with it isfor over thirty years. It must bo Conceded,however, that in New Mexico, the benDavis is a different article from what itia in any of the eastern states. Withthis wonderfully improved quality, it ishard for me to understand how it hasany serious competitor in the greatcommercial orchards of the valley forit has no equal as a keener and shipper.

"There is one version of tbe originof tbe Ben Davis that illustrates itskeeping qa alities pretty well," contin-ued Mr. Marple with a twinkle in hiseye. "I heard it in the black apple coun-

try of Arkanaaw on the way out here,and am sure it is generally believed there.It is to the effect that upon tho farmof one Den Davis, in the Susquehaunavalley, there was a peculiar mound thatscientists pronounced a primitive tomb,many thousand years old. It "becamenecessary to remove th9 cumuluB, andseveral fragmentary skeletons, werefound that crumbled to dust when ex-

posed to the air, pottery, copper imple-

ments and the like. In due of tbe potswas a lot debris. Tbe pot was invertedand out rolled a red Btreuked apple, fromwh ich sprang the Ben Davis of today.Thousands of years in storage and notpheased a bill Of course the skin wasa little puckered, but that vta? all!

"This is more i.early an ideal applecountry than any 1 have ever seen,"said Mr. Warple in closing., "There is nodoubt that it is a future apple centerof the continent. Any country that ccnmake a tine table ap plo out of the BonDavis is sure to be that. It has been adelight to ma to meet many old favor-

ites here, attaining an even "greaterperleelion than they did in tho palmydays of th) Indiana before the Codlingmoth and the leaf blight came to mockus. Tbe best White Winter PearmaingI ever saw and tasted was right here inMexico, and down at the fauns I haveseen Rambus, Northern Spys, Greenings,Smith's Ciders, Golden Sweets, Mayo'Mires, Konej-uch- , and Blackcyed Susans,all of a form and flavor that left nothingto be doaired. Even the cauny littleWineuap ia larger and b'itter than I eversaw before. Í have seen but a few ofthe Russians befe, to my surprise,though I should tnintt the conditionswould be particularly favorable."

Tho affair was not such an one as toelicit extended comment. Even handedjustice, however, demands a few wordsThe "end men" wero clever and as ama-teurs, may pardonably regard their abilities with pride. One or two others alsoplayed their parts well and clear throughthe olio were assigned oifficu It characters.It is none tbn loss a fn :t that the company convicted itself of an evidont ueodof training.

The earlierend of performance was concededlymeritorious aid was easily the best portion. While tbe hours wore away, tbeevening wore on and tbe audience woreout, unfortunately tho burnt cork rapidly wore off and Florida's tbespiansbegan to look a great deal like membersof a congress of the Latin nations.

few maintained a fair r.' iemblance to theethiopian who cannot change bis skinany more than can tbe leopard in aaywise alter his spots. The rest lookedlike Spaniards or A alnys, lurks orItalians, verily, a c.ew of aborted tints,putting ony pp r"i-,-- . j u

A few centuries ago the bitterest fosin the world, probably, were the Span-ish and the Hutch. Spain oppressedthe Netherlands with unparalleledcruelties; the Dutch withstood the ene-my and finally conquered them withunsurpassed heroism. Today the Span-iards are sending friendly congratula-tions to the Dutch in South Africa ontheir stubborn defense of their Inde-pendence the independence which theSpaniards themselves in the days ofAlva bo furiously denied. The whirli-gig of time has shown us few morestriking changes of attitude than this.Spain once the great oppres-o- r is now

Thosewho saw th'i charge of the Light Bri-gade, and also witnessed her heroiclabors, might well have reckoned herchances of survival fir less than thoseof the men who faced the guns. Wasnot hers a case of losing life yet savingit? She was a martyr in will, If notin deed, but was spared for furtherservice and permitted to be a patternIn noble works.

Itlnrtnlam a Multiplicity of KerteNeither fhll.tanph Nor Vfor-hl-

Hinduism is not a ringle religion,but a huge encyclopedia of distinct anilindependent worship; it Is not a unityt'lther of thought or ristom, but an im-

mense multiplicity of sects and theirobservances. It may be described asthe amalgam of all the religious Id's"!and usages of all the Indian peoplesthrough all their pit, mys the Con-

temporary Review. To no two tl.tsse.iIn no two places Is It exactly the samething. Its one permanent and distinc-tive feature Is Its social order; wherecaste is Hinduism Is, where casie isnot, Hinduism will not condescend tobe. Grant this fundamental institutionand It will be tolerant beyond the wild-est Occidental dream of toleration. Itspreads not by the conversion of In-

dividuals, but of tribes or peoples. Itsunit Is not the person, but the family;for the Individual It has no place; withhim It can do nothing nnd for blm Itdoes not care, but the family, or theaggregation of families, which we termcaste, Is to It all In all. It Is moreby his fulfillment of his domestic du-

ties, his fidelity in his paternal func-tions and obligations, than by his rit-

ual conformity, that a man's orthodoxyis Judged. Hinduism is neither a phi-losophy, nor a particular worship, nora belief, nor any specific theology, hutsimply caBte. Of course, caste may car-ry with it most of these other things,but not in any uniform or authorita-tive shape. There are various philos-ophies, but they are concerns of theschool; there are many worships, butthey are affairs of the temple or theshrine; there are an Infinity of belief.:,but they are conditioned by time andplace; there are a multitude of the olo-gle-

but they belong to the sect. Theone thing Inviolable and universal Iscaste. It fixes the lines within whicha man must walk, the customs he mustobserve, the social laws he must obey.the means by which he must earn hisliving. It Is at once ubiquitous andinvincible; has lived amid the warsand divisions of states, keeping thepeople one while the kingdoms were amultitude; It has continued and spreadin the face of linguistic and racial dif-

ferences, and has thriven by means ofthe agitations and controversies thathave In Europe created heresies andschisms. But the one thing caste willnot allow to be touched Is the family;its omnipotence lies In Its power toisolate the individual and to reducehim to a condition of more absolutehelplessness than could ever be expe-

rienced by any solitary In any solitudethe helplessness of living in a teem-

ing world which has no place for him,and where he Is known of no man. ThisIs a power which may grow, but whichcould not be made; which the conver-sion of individuals may do more toconfirm and define than to change, andwhich can be dissolved only by aprocess as gradual and as Inexorableas the process which formed It.

explanation In order to Insure a thor-ough appreciation of this story," saidJ. R. Roekhill, of Chicago, at the FifthAvenue hotel. "In the southern Illi-nois town where my father lives thereused to be a selectman named Wat-kin- s,

who had held office so long andreached so advanced an age that Jokesabout 'few die and none resign,' 'hehad solved the question of living for-ever,' etc., were constantly applied tohim. Another selectman by the nameof Lindsey, who was something of awu, was very sick and not expectedto live, and while he was in this stateWatklns fell 111 of pneumonia, fromwhich disease he subsequently died. A

friend calling on Lindsey told him ofWatkins' sickness and that his deathwas momentarily expected. A twinklecrept Into Lindsey'at eye as he whis-pered to his friend: 'No; Watklnswon't die this time. He'll never die.They'll have to shoot him on Judgmentday.' " New York Tribune.

Tower of the Imnflnatlon,A scientist in Enginnd is said to

have given a demonstration of thepower of the Imagination at a recentlecture by playing a trick upon his au-

dience. Among his apparatus he placedprominently a bottle, carefully stop-pered and protected by a wicker bas-ket, as if Its contents were of a power-ful and perhaps dangerous nature.After some experiments he said bewished to try how quickly an odorwould spread through the room, andrequested those who felt it to hold uptheir hands Immediately on doing bo.He then unstoppered the bottle re-

ferred to, with great apparent cau-tion, and poured some of its contentson a piece of cotton wool, keeping hisface as far away from his hands whiledoing go as he could, and remarkingthat the odor might be pungent, but Itwas really harmless. In 15 secondsmost of those in the front row hadraised their bands, and In 40 secondsthe odor had spread to the back of thehall. About 75 per cent of the audi-ence claimed they felt the smell. Atlength the front sitters were gettingsick and preparing to leave the room,bo the lecturer thought it time to ex-plain that the liquid poured from thebottle wan pure distilled water, andhad no smell at all!

Senile Decay and Rejuvenescence.In his opening address to the

section of the British association.Prof. Sedgwick said that since organ-isms are liable to wear and tear,sooner or later some part or parts es-

sential to the maintenance of the vitalfunctions wear out and are not re-

newed by the reparative processeswhich are supposed to be continuallytaking place in the organism. Thisconstitutes senile decay, and leads tothe death of the organism. There isno reason to suppose that the repar-ative process of any organiam.not evenof the lowest Infusoria, is sufficientlycomplete to prevent senile decay. Withregard to buds in plants, there is rea-son to believe that they share In thegrowing old of the parent. That lat say, if we suppose the average lifeof the plant to be 100 years, a budremoved at 60 will be 50 years of age,and only be able to live on the graftfor fifty more years. As good exam-ples of the kind of cause of senile de-

cay, the professor mentioned the wear-ing out of the teeth which, in mam-mals, at any rate, are not replaced;and the wearing out of the elastic tis-sue of the arterial wall, which is prob-ably not replaced.

A New Alloy,A new alloy kuuwn as magnaiium

has recently been invented by Dr. Lud- -wig Mach, a German scientist, andconsists of a combination of aluminumnnd magnesium, resulting in a compound which Is lighter than aluminumand can be worked like brass. Thetwo metals have properties that makethem well suited for such a union, andin making the alloy any change in thaproportions will give different characters to the compound. If ten percent of magnesium Is used the alloyIs like rinc; with 15 per cent, it resembles brass, and with 25 per centIt is similar to a compound bronze. Itis claimed that it can be soldered, thatit will resist dampness, and gives goodcastings. It is as white as silver, andsufficiently hard to cut aluminum;while it can be worked In the lathowith as great facility as brass. Magnaiium Is particularly suited for lens-mountings and Instrumenta wherelight weight is a desirable considera-tion. When purchased by volume thenew alloy is less expensive than brass,and has been spoken favorably of byleading German Instrument makers.

A German Alrahlp.A great German airship is being con

structed in a dockyard. It is beingbuilt on a floating raft, and at presentIt resembles the skeleton of a huge ves-sel-

It was built of such delicate material as to suggest an enormous bird-cage. It is made entirely of aluminum.and the outer skin will be stretchedon this framework. Inside a numberof large balloons will be placed. Agallery and cars all made of aluminum will be placed underneath; en-

gines are provided to drive the airship. The total lifting capacity of theairship will be about ten tons, which Issufficient for it to carry enough storesand ballast to permit of its remainingin the air for some days; $350,000 hasbeen expended upon this experiment

Antoinette Sink Door Opener.In suburban nnd rural districts un

provided with Underground drainage,sinks, such as are ordinarily used Inkitchens, are fitted with drain-pipe- s

arranged to discharge the refuse waterInto cntch-pall- s, usually placed In acabinet located beneath the bowl of thesink. In use these receptacles frequent-ly overflow and cause considerabledamage and Inconvenience. An inven-tion to avoid accidents of this kind basbeen recently patented by an inventorof Kelso, N. D. He provides adevice which Is operated by a floatproperly positioned within the catch-basi- n,

bo that when the latter becomesnearly filled the fact Is Indicated by the

opening of the door of the sink. To dothis the float is weighted on the topwith a block of wood, which acts as aknocker, and Isarranged so that whenset their combined weight will holdthem against a fixed stop. When thebucket becomes nearly rilled the posi-tion of the float and knocker is dis-turbed, and as the block falls the dooris thrown open.

A Remarkable Knilneerlnc- - Feat.During the last few months what is

pronounced by experts the most remarkable piece of electrical engineer-ing in the United States has been ac-

complished after three years of laborand some six hundred thousand dollars expended in the enterprise; thatIs, the Santa Ajia river, which comesout of the San Bernardino mountains,has been bridled, and Its power is nowtransmitted to Los Angeles, someeighty-tw- o miles distant. In a word.

er Is made to propelmachinery, move street cars and illuminate and even heat buildings inLos Angeles, besides furnishing il-

lumination and power for several vil-

lages as Redlands, Riverside, Coltonand Ontario between the mountains,and the engineers seem to agree thatthe most remarkable feature in this de-

velopment of the power nn the SnntaAna river is the transmission of elec-

tricity of a high voltage over eightymiles of wire wjth so little loss of en-

ergy, the compajiv finding, In fact, thotIt carerRedrerC-clty- . pf $3,000 .volts,having a working efficiency of 4,000horse-pow- er a distance of eighty-thre- e

miles with a loss of but 10 per cent.After doing Its work in the productionof electrical energy, the mountainstream is gathered into a conduit andled down the mountain side to irrigatethe orchards and groves in San Ber-

nardino valley.

For-tunately the Instrument was nottouched. Fifty holes In the groundnear tho observatory show how closeand fierce was the strange bombard-ment. Where the falling stones piercedthe wooden floor holes were burned.

An Electric Foghorn.A Canadian engineer has invented a

foghorn in which the noise Is producedby half a dozen clappers striking agong and actuated by electro-magnet- s.

A dynamo, supplied with power by anaphtha engine, furnishes the currentAbout 600 strokes per second fall uponthe gong, thus producing a practicallycontinuous sound, and this is magni-fied and governed in direction by amegaphone. A small model of thehorn Is said to have made Itself audi-ble at a distance of two miles.

A WARNING VOICE.

SHIP SAVED FROM DESTRUC-TION IN PACIFIC

l!y nn ortlrrr'e Wire, tlio fry ofDancer In Iter Hlirp llal l?enCarried Thousand of Mile to theImperiled Yreael,

A retired naval officer tells a mostsurprising story of the sea. He vouchesfor its truth, but suppresses the namesof the persons concerned for the rea-son that they are still In the UnitedStates navy. "We will say," narratedtho officer, "that Lieut. Glover wasofficer of the deck of the ship 8.

She had been cruising off thecoast of South Africa for severalmonths and on putting Into port re-

ceived orders to Ball for a small groupof Islands 1,000 miles away and rescuesome sailors who were reported there.The vesRel was nenrlng the place whenthe incident occurred. As 1 have said,Mr. Glover was on the deck that night.It was blowing pretty fresh and cloud-ing up and he ordered the royals Inand then topgallant sails; even thenthe ship was heeling over so that Itwas not comfortable. He was aboutto call the watch and reef topsails, andwas Btanding by the weather rigginglooking out over the water listening tothe swash of the waves, when he hearda voice, "Keep to the right; keep fur-

ther to the right, for God's sake." Itwas so distinct and clear that heturned expecting to see Borne one; butthe man at the wheel was a long dis-

tance off. Glover called to him:'What did you say, quartermaster?'he asked. 'I didn't speak, sir,' repliedthe man. 'I thought you did,' Gloverrejoined. He walked forward a wayand looked out over the water again,when again came the cry, 'Keep to theright; keep to the right.' The officerturned quickly, but there was no onenear him, and, startled, he turned aft,a Btrange fear, or something akin to It,taking posesslon of him. He was incharge of the ship and was responsi-ble for her, but he had no right tochange the course without consultingthe captain. Then, again, It was non-

sense to listen to his Imagination, hethought; so he strode forward withan effort to throw the feellns off. Butahead the voice came again: 'Keepto the right. In God's na lie. Keep tothe right!' That settle J it. Gloversprang forward and shouted: 'Layaft, watch; 'bout ship!' The mensprang to their stations. 'Ready about,stations for stays!' ca,me the order,followed by the v.'histle of the boat-swain. The ship surged up into thewind, buffeted the waves for a fewmoments, then swung over on the othertack. As she came on her courseGlover made up his mind he was Infor it, and wben he had explained tothe captain that he had put the shipabout all on account of a voice hewould in all probability either be putunder arrest or placed on the sick re-

port us being unfit for duty, while themen would think he had been drink-ing. But his relief In sailing inanother direction was bo great that hedid not seem to mind anything else,Hnd he Immediately proceeded to re-

port: 'Captain,' he said, 'I have cometo report that I have put the shipabout for what you will consider anidiotic reason. Three times I heard avoice by me on deck say, "Keep moreto the right!" and I was so convincedthat there was danger ahead that Itbecame a certainty, and I put the shipabout, sir.'

"Glover stood and waited for hissentence, as the captain was a notedmartinet, and an explosion was fairlysure to come; but, to his amazement,the captain said: 'You did quite right,Glover; reduce sail and keep her asnear the spot where you went aboutas you can till morning.' Glover wenton deck much pleased, and in twentyminutes had the ship lying to on theport tack.

"The wind blew hard during thenight, but by morning it had gonedown. The captain came on deckearly and sent at once for Glover.'Mr. Glover,' he said, 'I wish ypu tofigure out exactly the leeway and driftduring the night and put the ship onthe old course again, and let me knowwhen you estimate that she will reachwhere you were last night when youput about.' Glover figured awhile,ordered the ship about, and stated thatthey would reach the spot in twohours. The men soon discovered thatsomething unusual was in the wind,and excitement grew Intense when theofficer of the deck ordered an extralookout in the top, and told all handsto keep an eye out for danger ahead.Glover himself went forward, andevery top had one or two men.

"The ship was forging ahead atgreat speed, and at four bells Gloverinformed the captain that, as near ashe could Judge, they were at the exactspot. 'Keep a weather eye out, lads,'said the captain, 'and the man whoBees anything ahead gets extra grog."For twenty minutes the ship plungedon. Then a man in the foretop wavedhis arm, shouting, 'Luff; luff; rocksahead.' Up went the helm, and thebig ship surged around into the wind.while the sailor pointed to the starboard, where the sea was eddyingboiling and foaming over a long sunkenledge JuBt at or behpw the Burface; solow. Indeed, that It could not have beenseen until the ship was nearly on it,Glover's face was white as a sheetwhen the captain walked up to himand said, 'Say nothing about this, myboy, but you have saved us from ahorrlbledeath.' 'Not I, sir,' said Glover,looking so demoralized that the captain sent blm below while he orderedthe ship to be laid to. In a few minutesa boat was lowered, and a crew withleads and all appliances for makingsoundings and mapping the reef rowedto it. Whether it was an upheavalcould not be Judged; in any event, itwas a dangerous place, and in tenminutes, probably, the ship would havecrashed into It on the previous nightand not a man would have been leftto tell the story. Now that ledge ismarked on tbe charts.

"The strangest part of tbe wholeaffair now comes in. Glover nevermentioned the circumstance to anyone, but when they reached port again,some months later, he found a letterfrom his wife, a portion of which tie

showed the captain. I cannot glv t1

voibiitlm, hut the letter ended wlttthe hope that her husband would not

think her foollsli, but she bad bad 8

frightful dream. She saw the slilrrushing alonrr, with him on deck, andthere somed to bo a horrible nliysfrli?ht before it. There was still tlnnto save him, and she screamed, 'Kecto the right; keep further to thrright, for God's sake,' so loudly tinIt awoke her. She hopel that It wasnot a presentiment of evil.

"That's all," said the retired offlc--r

"and It Is almost exactly true, or nftrue ns I enn give It without mentionlag the date, the oftlcer, the ship or h

cruising ground. The fart remainsthat this wife In a dream saw I.er 1 isband rushing to disaster, nnd by somistupendous mental effo't communlcnted a warning to him several thousandmiles away, her very words being repeated, so that the ship was saved."

Roughly described, his machine was an enormous kite, supplied with a propellerrun by a steam engine, the theory being that it would be sustained in flightby atmospheric pressure. He con-structed a two-mil- e railroad trackalong which the 'aeroplane,' as hecalled it, was to run, getting up enoughvelocity to enable it to leap Into spaceand then he built several full-size- d

models. Mr. Maxim Is an accomplishedmechanical englneer.and he went aboutthe work in a thoroughly scientificfashion, feeling his way and correctingdefects as he went along. Of courseSuch experimenting was frightfully expensive, and at tho end of three years.when he seemed to be Just on theverge of success, he was obliged to stopfor lack of funds. He was too sensiblea man to try to capitalize a flying machine company, so he quietly announcedthat he was going back to gunmaklngand when he accumulated enoughmoney would take a fresh start at theaeroplane. Since then business hasbeen brisk with his house, and duringthe last six months in particular theBrltlHh government has spent hugesums In purchasing his automatic gun.Meanwhile the United States has patronized him to the extent of nearly aquarter of a million, and his coffers arcno doubt pretty well refilled. It wouldnot surprise me now to hear of himresuming work at any time on his flying machine. He has said repeatedlythat It was the great dream of his life.

He Is said to be inof-fensive and entirely free from a quarrelsome disposition, and none of. theold men would ever have belelved thatthe bear would harm a kitten or breakthe crust on a meat pie. They knowdifferently now, however. They saw atragedy not long ago which changedtheir minds and materially increasedtheir opinions about his bearship.Among the visitors one afternoon werea woman and a little boy. The ladwas a pretty little fellow, and he hadone of those cute little terriers in hisarms. He was delighted over the bearand became so enthusiastic that hodropped his dog. The little pup scent-ed a bone belonging to the bear, andhe ran between the bars of the cagtto grab it. The veterans who we;elooking saw one swift movemen.,about as rapid as a flash of lightning,-an-

they heard something. A momentlater there was a wall from the child.The body of the dog lay across thepen, limp and lifeless, and when it wasfished out of tUe cage, there was hard-ly an unbroken bone In the carcass.The child was Inconsolable, the veter-ans were surprised, and a little wirescreen has been placed about the baseof that pen to kec-- inquisitive dogsfrom committing sulciJe.

friends of Mr. Rhodes. Most ot rcyRhodesian friends cannot understandwhy I should oppose the war, and thefriends of peace are equally at a lossto understand how It is that, detestingthe war as I do, I should persist In myregard and admiration for CecilRhodes. Possibly when they read thl3sketch both parties may bo better ableto understand my position, and It mayhelp some of those who have been mis-led Into Ignorant denunciation of thepersonality of a man they know noth-ing about to understand some of thereasons why those who know him bestbelieve In him most."

Of Rhodes in South Africa, Mr. Steadsays, t:

Cecil J. Rhodes, 'a dozen years ago,was unknown outside the narrow con-fines of the Cape Colony. Gen. Gordon,who had been in South Africa, had methim there sixteen years ago, andformed so high an estimate of his character that when he started on hisheroic mission to the Soudan In 18S4,his first act was to telegraph to Mr.Rhodes, asking him to accompany himto Khartoum. Mr. Rhodes was thentreasurer of the Cape Colony, and bohe was unable to accept Gen. Gordon'sInvitation. Had it been otherwise, therecent history of Africa, both Normand South, would have to be rewritten;for the lilo of one of these men andthe death of the other are the twogreat factors which at this hour dom-inate the destinies of Africa.

It Is well to approach the study otMr. Rhodes from the standpoint ofGen. Gordon's invitation to Khartoum.The ordinary standpoint from whichMr. Rhodes is judged is that of thefinancier or the politician. Those wholook at him from either the Stock Ex-change or Downing Street never dis-cover the key to the strangely com-plex character, which is the fascina-tion of his friends and the despair ofhis enemies. If you want to under-stand Cecil Rhodes, it Is necessary tobegin by remembering that Gen, Gor-don knew him well and trusted him ab-

solutely. Gen. Gordon was the Bayardof our generation. No more absolutelyselfless man ever served his countryand his queen.

Yet this man was the friend of CecilRhodes. Gordon knew him, believedin him and trusted him so much thatin the supreme moment of Gordon'scareer when he took his Ufe In hishand and fared forth to the post ofduty and as the result proved, ofdeath at Khartoum, his first thoughtwas to send for Rhodes Rhodes, whowas not even a soldier or a diplomatist,and who had no experience whateverof the problems ot the Soudan.don, however, who was a keen, shrewdJudge of men, knew Cecil Rhodes to bea man after his own heart. And 1,

who knew both men, can well under-stand the secret of his confidence inKlwides.

Cecil Rhodes Is at this moment, not-withstanding his temporary eclipseafter the unfortuiiíí affair of theJameson raid, the fc'reatest personagein the British empire, bar two; thegreatest man bar one. The queen andthe queen's prime minister. Lord Sal-isbury, alone tower above the Africanempire builder In the estimation of theworld, both within and without GreaterBritain. After Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Cham-berlain Is a bad fourth. But Mr.Rhodes is so much greater than Mr.Chamberlain that lie could afford toaccept the odium of a parliamentarycensure in order to aave Mr. Chamber-Iai- n

from an exposure which wouldhave extinguished his political career,and to emerge practically unaffected byhis sacrifice.

It is not necessary here to Introduceany detail as to the way in which Mr.Rhodes built up his fortune. It did notprobably differ much from the methodsin which other millionaires have madetheir piles. A fortunate selection Ofdiamondlferous soil was the beginningof it all, followed up by patient munualtoll In tbe dicing and the washing ofthe dirt. Then wnen enough had beenfound to constitute a nucleus of a for-tune, there began the speculation Inbuying and selling claims which goeson without ceasing In every miningcamp. Young Rhodes was very for-tunate in his financial operations. Bydegrees it became evident that ho wascriming to the top. The JewB there, U3

elsewhere, proved too mauy for theGentiles. But there was one Gentilewhom they could neither circumventnor overcome. I ltlmalely, when thetl.'jo came for tha great amalgamation

of nil the various Interests enti iRí 1 Inthe diamond fields In onr grent trustor comblnp, Mr. Rhodes Flood forthas the amalgamator, and the colosanlHo Beers company Is the monument ofhis sucrpss.

As the essential thing to aim at Inan estimate of the man Is his charac-ter, rather than the precise detail ofhis work, I relegate to a footnote thefigures describing the capital, dividend,and operations of the De Beers com-pany. It is the largest diamond-producin- g

company In the world. SinceIts amalgamation In 1885. It has sup-plied the world with diamonds, whichsold wholesale brought In no less asum than 40.000,000.

This, however, Is by no means thechief distinction of the Pe Beers con- -

cern. It Is chiefly notable because Inits charter, or articles of association,Mr. Rhodes was ablo to secure the Insertion of a proviso authorizing the I

directors to appropriate from time totime such funds as they deemed it ad-

visable to Bet apart out of profits forpolitical or Imperial purposes.

It was Introduced by Mr. Rhodes,and assented to by his fellow-directo- rs

and shareholders solely out of def-erence to him. It w:xa one of Rhodes'fads, they said; let him have his way.So he had It as 13 bis wont: Theygave in to the commanding genius ottheir colleague, dominated by his willrather than convinced by his argu-ments. For Mr. Rhodes is far In ad-

vance of his class In realizing the re-sponsibility of the millionaire for thestewardship of his millions.

It Is the curious fortune of Mr.Rhodes to be the special mark for theattacks of the Socialists of the baserorder, and of those Radicals who aredelighted to join In the hue and cryagainst any one whom the Socialistsdislike. But if the Socialists did butknow the man as he Is, they wouldelect him honorary president of theirassociation. He alone, so far as Iknow, among the millionaire class notonly accepts the doctrines of the statesocialist in theory, but acts upon themIn practice. He is not a man ofphrases. He la a man of deeds. He Isreputed to be a rich man. It Is truethat he has the control of millions.But I seldom knew a rltli man whohad less ready cash. If any one wereto give Mr. Rhodes a million sterlingtoday he would not have a penny of ittomorrow. As Boon as he gets money,he spends It or invests It In the serviceof the Imperial Idea.

The Socialist, no doubt, would de-

mur as to the wisdoqp of Mr. Rhodes'selection of the object on which themoney should be spent. But that Is adetail. The essential unity of ideaon the part of Mr. Rhodes and, theSocialist is that both absolutely agreethat the money 'should not be spentupon self, and should be employed sole-ly for the benefit of the community.Mr. Rhodes sees the community on ItsImperial side. The Socialist naturallyconfines his attention to the social side.But both are alike In believing that itIs in the service of the community,and not In the building up of great fortunes tor a family, that wealt'a shouldbe employed.

MAN OF MILLIONS.

Philadelphia's street railway mag-nate, Peter A. B. Widener, has Just an-nounced his benevolent intention ofbuilding a home for cripples in Phila-delphia to cost not less than $2.000.000.Besides furnishing the Inmates withsuch comforts as are usually found in

homes. Mr. Widener'spurpose Is to supply them ateo withmedical treatment In the hop- - of re-

storing them to permanent health andstrength. No enterprise of more genu-ine philanthropy has ever been launch-ed in Philadelphia, and Mr. Widener's,liberality has been the principal themeof discussion in press and pulpit forseveral days past. But this is not Mr.Widener's first handsome gift to Phil-adelphia. Some time ago he presentedto the city his private residence, to-

(Norwalk Letter.)Within the gloomy walls of a Con-

house near Norwalk, thisgirl, with a rich profusion of darkbrown hair, with hands soft and white,with a brauty such that many a maid-en of lordly birth might envy her, un-

tutored and In tatters, Is yet a queenof men, lawless men though they are.Not more than a mile from her home,beneath the shulter ot two great rocks,was the rendezvous of a maraudingband of Idlers. There this farmer'sdaughter found them about two yearsago. She cast her life with theirs.

'"MINNIE STURM.

When a raid on neighboring cellarand hen roosts made provisions plenti-ful there In the rendezvous, it wasMinnie Sturm (Minnie Brotherton)who cooked the viands over a tire otlogs. But the band became too daring.The hand of the law seized them. Somewere Imprisoned and the others scat-

tered. Minnie Brotherton promised tomend her ways and thu lenient author-ities let her go her way. For a shorttime she lived quietly, but not con-tentedly, In the old house. A fewmonths later she married ValentineSturm of Norwalk and went to livewith the family of her husband. Herstay there was remarkably BbortSeven months after she left him, andin the winter of 1898 applied to theSelectman ot Nor waik fur support. Suewas sent to the Town Farm. Eventhere she showed her wild tendencies.She fell in love with a pauper, "Jim"Collins, a gray-bearde- d man with awooden !eg. One djfjsiiey eloped fromthe Almshouse, and for several daysthere was no trace of them. Then Col-ti-

limped back to the Institution andwas restored to his former place, butthe "Wild Rose" had no love for life inan Almshouse, and she soon found acompanion In Howard Dauchy. A fewdays ago Dauchy and the "Wild Rose"entered tv" Norwalk Selectman's officeand applied for admission to the Poor-hous-e.

Instead cf s uccommodatingthem the Selectman notified Sturm,who preferred a charge against hiswife. It was learned, too, that theyhad borrowed a horse and wagon todrive to the Town Clerk's olfice. Bay-

ing they wished to get a marriage li-

cense. The horse and wagon were notreturned, and a charge of horse theftwas made. The "Wild RoseV indig-nation was aroused. She first plead-ed with the owner to withdraw hischarge, promising to bring back hishorse and wagon. He was determinedto send her to Jail, and refused. "You'llnever see that horse again!" the "WildRose" exclaimed. "I'll go to jail andstay there." And she did.

Tlila City Kntlrely Owna Itaolf.The town of Huddersfleld, Yorkshire,

England, stands unique in the worldas the only town which absolutelyowns itself in every respect. Begin-ning life In a municipal artisan'sdwelling, the young man rides to hiswoik ou a municipal tram. He getshis gas or electricity from the city.His wife rents a gas Btove from thecity, purchases her produce from amunicipal market, and buys meat thathas been prepared by a municipalbutcher. Both use the public baths,enjoy the city's parks, and send theirchildren to the city's playgrounla.TUelr house refuse is moved by thecity. When ill they go to the cityhospital; or, If unfortunate, to the citymup'.clpal lodging room. Their lettersare ;odected by a city postman. Andin a thousand other ways their dullylife comes in close contact with thecity government. At last they areburled in a city cemetery.

"Llttlo DorrltV Church.The public authorities who are re-

moving the human remains from "Lit-tle Dorrit's" church in Southwark,have cleared away upwards of a thou-sand bodies. In the process of doingso they have discovered vaults the ex-

istence of which was unknown or hadbeen forgotten, and these are cbockfulof coffins. It is stated tnut the clear-ing out of the whole of the vaults andthe reinterment of the remains at Wok-ing will add fourpence a pound to therates of the parish. The bodies arepresumably those of persons of localstanding or distinction whom theparishioners or the church In panttimes desired to honor.

NEWS SPPEAD3 FAST.Cron too African Natlvra Kara Thalr

fraterna of Communication.Both South Afilcan and BntlnU In-

dian papers refer to the keen Interesttaken by the natives of the two coun-tries In the war between tli Britishand the Boers. A regular system ofcommunication Is said to h.tve b-- en r

between stations on the wetand the northwest frontier of India andthe hill country, by which all informa-tion concerning the program of the warIs transmitted with extraordinary ra-

pidity among the tribesmen. How it isdone la a mystery yet unsolved; butone Indian paper affirms that the newsof the beginning of hostilities in SouthAfrica was already known across thefrontier when it was received at Pesha-wu- r

by telegraph. The effect of it wasseen in the agitation that began amongthe tribes, and In a call sent out by theMullah of Povindah for 3,000 men toassemble, ostensibly to march againstsome recalcitrant chieftains. Ho alsoIssued a proclamation ascribing tho de-

feats of the tribesmen last year to thewant of harmony among them, andpointing out that if they wanted to re-cover their Independence they mustrise ail together. In consequence ofthis agitation a British force ha-- i beenfcent to the frontier to the point threat-ened. A Rhodesian paper. In announc-ing the outbreak of the war, lamentsthe absenco of telegraphic communica-tion between Belra and the coast townsof Natal and Cape Colony, by whichnews could be received of the progressof hostilities, and says that if all othermeans of communication fail, they willhave to fall back upon the native houseboys. It says that It has certainly beenmore than surprising in prevlom Af-

rican wars how early and correct wasthe Information the natives seemed topossess. An Instance Is given In whichduring the last Mashona war. the Mas-hon-

In the Umtali district knew ofthe battle at the Shangania river onthe evening of the same day on whichit was fought. How such speed of com-munication was secured is still a puz-zle. Whether it was dono by shout-ing from hill to hill, or by fleet run-ners In relays, the result, the coveringof 40 miles In eight hours, was a

GENEROUS CARNEGIE.

It is a rare day that does not witnessa wise and generous deed at this handsof Andrew Carnegie. It is generally alarge gift of money for public labrarypurposes, for this is Mr. Carnegie'sspecial line of beneficence. Within thepast few weeks five such benefactionshave come to public knowledge, thetotal amounts promised being not lessthan $2,000,000. Of this. $1,750,000was the enlargement of the Carnegielibrary in Pittsburg, an Institution towhich Mr. Carnegie had already con-tributed several millions. The addi-tional sum, It is said, will make thelibrary three and one-ha- lf times larg-er than originally Intended, and thelargest and most magnificent buildingot its kind in the world. In addition toIts use as a library, the building willhave departments devoted to the pro-

motion of science, music, art and liter-ature. The four other library giftsmentioned Included one of $50,000 tothe city of Duluth, Wis.; $50,000 to thecity of Tyrone, Pa.; $125,000 to thePolytechnic Library Society, of Louis-ville, Ky., and $25,000 to Tucson, Ariz.All these donations were accompaniedwith the condition that the cities thusfavored should furnish certain sumsof money for the regular maintenanceof the library.

bater of profound capacity. Harvardhas been amazed by his brilliance.Young Bruce is a son of former UnitedStates Senator Blanche K. Bruce, ofMississippi, who for many years wasregister of the treusury. Young Brucewas named for Roscoe Conkling out ofgratitude for a favor the eloquent NewYork statesman once did for the elderBruce when the negro leader first wentto the senate. Bruce'a colleague fromMisulsslppl declined to introduce thecolored statesman to the president ofthe senate. All the other senators weredisposed not to interfere, and Mr.Bruce found hlmixdf In a most embar-rassing position. Mr. Conkling tookIn the situation and his generous heartwas touched. He promptly introducedBruce to the president, and the Mis-sissippi negro never forgot the kind-net- s.

The younger Bruce was prepared

Senator Roach's home address is Lariinore, North Dakota.Peruna is not a guess, nor an experiment: it is an absolute, scientific cer-

tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutesno rivals. Insist upon having Peruna, Let no one persuade you that some otherremedy will do nearly as well. There is no other systematic remedy for catarrhhut Peruna. Address the l'cruna Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio, for afree book on catarrh, written by Dr. Hartman.

Reports of a big find of quartz gold onthe San Juan river aud at the mouth ofCottonwood canon, below Bloomtield,have attracted the atteution of many ofour people and a great number of claimsare being staked out. The Index doesnot care to prophecy as to the correctness of the claims made for the "find."If there is nothing valuable there, it willdo no good to lie about it. If gold ispresent, we're all bound to be rich andto take in the Paris exposition and otherKod thiugs. So let's await results withequanimity.

Rudyard Kipling's first piece of sustained work since his tllneas last yoarturns out to be a series ot humorousanimal stories which are said to showall the freshness and zest of a man whohas had a long rest. Kipling loves towrite an animal story bettor than any-

thing else, and when his physiciansallowed him to return to work he in-

stinctively turned to this series whichh had had in mind for years. Thereart nine stories, an J each one is supposedto tell the origu of the most uonspicuouspart of the animal portrayed. Thus, in"The Elephant's Child" he tolls a mostdroll story of how tho elephant happenedto get a trunk, and in "The Sing Song ofOld Man Kangaroo" he gives the historyof how the kangaroo got his long legs,for, Mr. Kipling says there was a timewhen elephants had no trunks, andkangaroos' legs were not as long as theyare now. The stories, it is said,show Mr. Kipling at his very best.They are expressively funny and havethat rare quality of appealing to old aswell as young. The author has sent theentire series to The Ladies' Home Jour-nal, and th it magazine will begin theirpublication in its next issue.
