$ Woman vs. Woman, j sLvsv3 Bhe gave a little gasp and tat down. The hotel porter discreetly looked the other way; he was enjoyln the little Bccne greatly; the Mt. Seymour Hotel provided many of them. The girl was young and pretty: the hand which toyed with the letter before her was studded with valuable ring, a in on K them a narrow one of gold It was evident that she was a wife. There was no husband to greet her, though the car with her luggage from the mall boat was standing at the door. Al phonse had had the pleasure of hand ing her the letter; it had been given to him by a handsome, dark-eyed man only a few hours before. 'Monsieur le Capltalne he say, 'Give to de lady direct she come." Hein, I do give." The girl arose, her blue eyes dim T&ith tears; the susceptible Alphonso ras overwhelmed. "Mario," she said to her maid, "Capt. Molyneux has been ordered up to Pre toria; he only left today. Please sco to the boxes." She crossed the hall toward the ele vator and disappeared. Many eyes had watched the llttl) drama; the lounging chairs In the hnll were all occupied; officers on sick leave, men convalescent and men on their way up to the front or back to old England. Women, too, some grass widows, a few real widows, many more with no special concern in the war at all. But it was the war which had drawn them to Cape Town the war, or, rather, the soldiers who were fight lng. Where else but to the Mt. Sey mour Hotel should they go? Rank and fashion, Joy and misery, virtue and Tire rubbed shoulders in that fashion able and exorbitant hostelry. "Ah, a pretty woman," drawled young Dennis of the th Lancers. "Who is she?" queried his compan ion. John Berosford rose languidly from lis chair and satisfied his curiosity at the porter' office. "It's Bob Molyneux's wife," he said to his friend. "Fancy. One of my old est pals. I was so sick at having missed lilm this morning. Ho left Just before I got here. Ah! there is Mrs. de la Fane; she's a pretty woman, if you like. I was introduced to her this morning by old Vigors." He sprang to his feet and offered his chair to a tall, graceful woman who liad entered the hall as he Bpoke. She accepted it with a smile, and In a moment the liltlo group attracted all . eyes. Mrs. de la Fane was one of the leading spirits of the hotel; the ac knowledged beauty, whose wonderful yes drew every man into her toil3. Her husband was rolling In money; o was reported to be a Johannesburg millionaire; but the reports were ra ilier vague. It was sufficient for her admirers that he spent his money like water, gave the best dinners a man -uif ia wmn 10 sit oown to, and mu not joftwl when other men smiled at his wlfe. "Whnt brings yon down to Cnpe Town, Capt. Berosford?" asked Mra. Vie la Fane. "Major Vigors tells mo your regiment is In the thick of it just now." Sh.e raised her great vlo jet eyes to the young man's face as che spoke. The Implication underlying the word trtung him. Ho flushed, and tapped a eldo pocket In his coat. 'I have got a little bag here." he eald with meaning which contains well, a few papers of Importance." "Oh!" laughed Mrs. do la Fane. "I ee. Vou are one of Kitchener's mes senger boys. Rather a satisfactory -berth. Isn't It, Captain? No risk, no worry, no exertion." John Boresford causht those violet eye again full In his own. His heart beat foster. He did not care to appear one of no importance in this wom an's eyes. His mission demanded se crecy, yet for the moment his tongue ran away with him. "You are wrong, irs. de la Fane," e smiled in reply. "The papers would be worth well, a lot to Kruger or Bo tha." A sudden gleam came into the wom an's eyes. John Bcrcsford saw it, but thought nothing of it. The silken tolls were already about him. "Come and lunch with me, Capt Beresford, and you, too, Mr. Dennis," ald Mrs. de la Fane. Two dnya passed away. Muriel Mo lyneux felt inexpressibly lonely. This bustling, frivolous atmosphere of hotel jarred on her. Tortured with anxiety for her husband, she hated the laugh ter, the muBic above all, the society. She kept aloof from it all. Her hu. band was an intelligence officer; she Icnew that he was never sure from day to day where he would sleep the fol lowing night To attempt to follow him to the front was impossible. Now Muriel, for all her great love for her husband, was an enthusiastic little patriot This dreary, useless Idle ness to which . she was condemned taxed her nerves to the uttermost The ulet of the gardens overlooking the ea appealed to her. After dinner on the third evening after her arrival Muriel slipped out alone and paced the travel paths In angry Impatience with her fate. The gardens were empty. Her white dress looked ghost-like in the shadows. In a little summer bouse at the fur thest limits of the garden, bitter tears swse Into her eyes as ahe thought of her own incapacity, her own enforced Idleness. Suddenly a voice at her el bow startled her. gone one thrust a note Into her hand, with the words: Will yon girt mo your answer to- w, or ah all I wait for It nowr Taken unawares, and anxious to hide the trace of her recent tears, Muriel stammered hastily, "Tomorrow? No; the day after," and the next moment the was alone again. Bewildered, she turned the note over In her hand. There was no address upon It. She rose hurriedly and hastened to the door of the summer house. A man's figure, evidently that of a gentleman, was dlnappearing out of the garden gate on to the high road. It was too late to recall him. She opened his note mechanically. In the dim light it was difficult to trace the writing, but a second glance left no room for doubt "The Societies Office, Stellcnbosch. "To Mrs. de la F.: "Have yon procured the dispatch case carried by the officer, J. B., yet? If so, the bearer of this Is to be trust ed; give it to him. If you have not yet secured it, tell hlra when to see you again. "J. X. de W." Muriel drew her breath sharply. Sho pat motionless, her brain busy. She realized nt once that she had been mistaken for somebody in the pay of the Boers; a plot was hatching, and she At that moment she heard foot Fteps hurrying down the pathway. She thrust the note in the bosom of her dress. Suppose the messenger had discovered his mistake, and was re turning? Her heart beat wildly. With sudden resolve Muriel had niafle up her mind. The summer house had an inner room, to which a small doorway gave admittance. Opening the door she plunged into the darkness. Holding her breath, she peered through the half-open door, not daring to close it for fear of making a noise. A man entered the summer house. A quick sigh of relief escaped Muriel's Hps. It was not the messenger. She glanced at the man's face; then started back in horror. She recognized him as a man she had frequently seen in the hotel; but his eyes were now blood shot, his expression wild, his manner distraught. John Berosford (for It w.'-.a he) drew a revolver from his coat and raised it against himself. Muriel waited no longer. With a little cry she flung open the door and threw herself upon the maa The re volver fell from his hand. "Oh! stop, stop!" she cried. "You can't know what you are doing." John Boresford stared at her as though she were a ghost. He stood motionless. his arms hanging limply by bis side, his wild eyes searching her own. "Can't I help you? ' "whispered Mu riel, gently, all the sympathy of her nature going out toward him. "Please let me try." "Help! I am beyond help!" echoed the man, struggling with the words. "Leave me, for pity's sake, Mrs. Moly neux." There 1b only one way out of this." . "How do you know my name?" asked Muriel, in surprise "Molyneux was an old pal of mine," ttnswered the other. "Ho would not speak to me now." A sudden inspiration flashed across Muriel's brain. "What is your name?"1 she asked. "John Beresford. For pity's sake leave me." "Your initials are J. B., then? Have you are the dispatches " "How do you know about that?" said John Beresford, raising his head with a gleam of hope in his eyes. "Not a soul but myself and the thief knows that it was stolen from me within the last 24 hours." Mrs. de la Fano glided down the lootpath leading toward the summer house. She was dressed in white. As she drew near she caught the sound of voices, and walked slowly past the doorway. She gave a little dry cough when she recognized John Beresford and Mu riel Molyneux. She seemed annoyed to find the sum mer honey occupied at that moment She paced the footpath for a few mo ments and then returned to the hotel. She went to the pigeonhole where she generally found her letters and tele grams. It was empty. Soon after midnight she went to the pigeonhole again. There was a sealed packet waiting for her. With a sigh of relief she carried It hastily to her room ami read: "The Societies Office, Stellenbach. To Mrs. de la F.: "Have you procured the J. B. docii. ments yet? If so, the bearer of this is to be trusted. Give them to him. If you have not yet secured them, tell him when to see you again. "J. X. de W." A second note in another handwrit ing was inclosed: "Madam Not finding you this even ing at the appointed place, I am leav ing this note for you at the hotel I shall be there tomorrow evening at 8.30 to receive your answer. "J. X. deW.'s Messenger." Mre. de la Fane slept the sleep of the Just that night On the following evening she kept the appointment Sue was again dressed in white. Punctual to the mo ment she heard a man's footstep on the path outside, and a tall, bearded man stood in the doorway. "Mrs. de la Fane, I presume?" He spoke In a deep, gruff voice. .She banded him a carefully sealed packet, saw him place It Inside his brssst pocket and wailed till be dis appeared. The next morning shs re ceived an Invitation from Capt, Beres ford to di.te with him that evening. She handed the note to Mr. de la Fane and remarked, callously: "What nerve the man has. Surely, he knows there Is nothing for him to do but shoot himself. He's ruined silly creature." Mr. de la Fane laughed harshly. So that evening a cheerful party as sembled In the private dining room. Mrs. Molyneux and Mrs. de la Fane were the only ladles present, but some half-dozen men made up the party. With thodessert, John Beresford looked around at his guests, and placed a leather case on the table. "I've had the queerest adventure since I've been In the hotel," he said laughing. It's too rich to keep to my self; It might amuse you." "Fire away," said some one. Mrs. do la Fano turned very white, but Muriel, watching her every move ment, felt no pity. "You know, of course," BeresfoH continued, "that I was sent down on special service to deliver some dis patches to Oen. O , who arrives here this evening. Llko an ass, I made no secret of my errand. I shall lie wiser another time. Well, two days ago the case with the dispatches dis appeared. You can Imagine what felt like. After wild rearchlngs for 21 hours there was only one thing to be done." Ho then described his meeting with Muriel In the summer house, and her adventure with J. X. do W.'s messen ger. "I wrote a note," he continued, "and Inclosed It with the original letter, addressing It to a certain lady, whoso name does not matter, asking her to meet J. X. de W. s messenger last night. In disguise I myself represented the messenger and received my dis patch back into my own hands." The men laughed loud and long. "The sequel, too, may be Interest ing," said John Beresford, coolly. "A couple of detectives are at this minute collaring J. X. do W.'s man." "What about the lady?" he was asked. "Well, I fancy you'll hear that Bhe and her husband have, been presented with tickets to Europe by the next boat." A little choking cry came from Mrs. de Fane's Hps. She had fainted. The Onlooker. QUAINT AND CURIOUS. A costly marble monument stands In a fashionable cemetery at Seattle, Wash., sacred to the memory of a faithful horse. The animal's owner was himself burled beside the horse recently. The other day James Peltcr, who lives near Winchester, Va., killed a bald eagle, whose spread of wings was seven feet. Mr. Pelter had lost several lambs and thought it remarkable that ine thief left no tracks nor other sign of his visits to the farm, but wVifen the eagle tried to carry off a dog which followed him, he concluded that the bird was the robber. During the recent session of the Brit ish parliament no fewer than 644S questions were asked In the house of commons. This number has only once been exceeded in recent years namely, In the session of 1S93-4, when the num ber of ouestlong asked was 6534. But the house sat on 226 days during that session, while there were only 118 sit tings during the late Besslon. There are three nut cracking plants in St. Louis, Mo., giving employment to considerable numbers of people. The nut crackers are arlven by electri city, each nut being fed individually into the crusher. After the shells are cracked the nuts are winnowed by an air blast, and the meat is picked from the crushed shells by hand, women and girls being employed for this part of the work. A curious case came up the other day before the court In Caroline county, Md., when an ancient resident was charged with the larceny of nino eggs. Extra Jurors had to be summoned, and it cost the county $250 to try the case. The accused was 73 years old. His counsel said he had known the de fendant for 40 years, and It was In credible that he would steal eggs. He argued that anyhow the state had not shown that the eggs were sound and nine rotten eggs would have no value at all. The Jury staid out 15 minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. A Hamburg schoolteacher recently undertook to find out what his pupils knew about common things. Out of 120 children between 10 and 16 years of age, 68 had never seen a flock of sheep, 70 had never seen a violet growing, 90 had never heard a night ingale, 89 had never seen the sun rise, and 33 had not seen it set, 49 had never seen a man plow. He asserts that while city children may know about theatres and concert exhibitions, muse ums and stores, hundreds of the sim plest things in life are mere words to them that convey no coherent idea. ffcentlns; Danger, According to Nature, the French minister of war has asked the Parts Academy of Sciences to give an opin ion as to the possibility of danger arising from the establishment of wire less telegraphy stations in the neigh borhood of magazines containing pow der or other explosives.

Thirty Thousand Hollars "pent for the Food of tho Living; Curiosities Main tained by New York tlly Snakes Are Molt Kastlitlntil Creatures In Captivity, The feeding of wild animals In cap tivity, bo that they will thrive and grow contented In their confinement, has become a pretty accurate science in modern times, and the keepers ot wild animals in zoological parks, me nageries and circuses, have attained such success in this direction that it is rarely on animal dies because of Improper feeding. Twenty-five years ago this was not the case. The mor tality among menagerie animals was considerable, and the losses were so great that a systematic Inquiry was made In regard to the feeding of wild animals In captivity. Partly as the result of that Inquiry, and partly be cause of the accumulating experience in handling the animals, present meth ods of feeding have practically elimi nated all danger to the animals from the food they may get. The feeding of wild animals, birds, and fish In any large park or menag erie Is consequently of scientific inter est and value. Something less than $30,000 worth of food Is needed annu ally for the animals, birds and fish In the public parks, menageries and aqua riums In the limits of Greater New York. A close analysis of the food purchased by this considerable sura shows that the largest amount of the money Is spent for meat. Ash and fowl. There are altogether some 40 to 50 different kinds of food used, and all of It is as good as the market affords. The common idea that scraps and waste food can be fed to wild animals Is hardly consistent with modern me nagerie experience. Such food would in a short time cause sickness and dis ease among the animals in captivity. Hence all tho food is carefully select ed, and Is of tho very best. In feed ing the animals fish the greatest dan ger comes from ptomaine poison. Sev eral fine otters and seals have been lost through feeding them with fish that had become tainted. The seals, sea lions, otters and pelicans are great consumers of fish, and they are fed every morning with medium sized her ring, packed fresh In ice and delivered daily ut the Zoological park. When it is Impossible to secure good herring, other fish are procdred and cut up, If too large to suit the fastidious creatures who live on a ffsh diet. These fish eating animals and birds are very susceptible to poor food, nnd any vio lent change in the quantity or quality of it almost Instantly causes sickness. Probably more sea lions have been lost to zoological gardens In the past through insufficient knowledge con cerning their food than any other class of valuable specimens. The slightest taint of the fish produces symptoms which usually terminate In sickness and death. The snakes are also very suscepti ble to the kind of food given them, nnd they prove extremely fastidious crea tures when held in captivity It Is Im possible to supply some of the reptiles with the special food they like, and substitutes are not taken kindly to at first. Thus the big cobras in their na tive haunts live cmuily on other snakes the small harmless varieties. Now It is manifestly Impossible to se cure sufficient small snakes to supply thcBe voracious eaters at all seasons of the year. Nevertheless, the keepers of the Central Park menagerie and the Zoological park in the Bronx make great efforts to collect Bmall snakes for the valuable cobras. These come from different points in considerable numbers, shipments often amounting as high as 150 at a time. Fed on these live snakes the cobras thrive in cap tivity and appear satisfied with their lot; but it becomes necessary to ap pease their appetite with rats and mice when snakes are scarce. While new cobras will not touch these ro dents when they are first placed before them, they can sometimes be enticed to swallow them when tied to the tall of a small snake or even when stuffed in the skin of a dead reptile. The other snakes are fed mostly on toads, mice and rabbits. Even Eng lish sparrows are purchased In con siderable numbers for the reptiles. The average prices paid each year Tor thesu snake foods are 2 cents each for spar rows, 4 to 5 cents each for toads and frogs, and 2 to 3 cents each for live mice. At these quotations many boys make quite a little pocket money, nnd the Zoological park -managers find the supply at times greater than the de mand, so eager are the youngsters to feed the snakes. In tho winter season, however, it sometimes becomes a ques ..on of considerable Importance how to secure fresh food for the reptiles, At one time more than a dozen rattle snakes bad to be killed because of tho keepers' inability to find plenty of live mice to keep thera from starvation. The wild carnivorous animals of the fungle need a certain amount of meat each day, and if they bad their tastes always gratified they would accept nothing else; but stale bread is fed them In addition to the meat. The bears, monkeys and other beasts of the Jungle learn to eat bread with evident relish, but the Hons and tigers look forward eagerly to their fresh meat, and are not satisfied until it cornea About the usual feeding hour each day these creatures grow restless and pace anxiously up and down their cages. 4 he appearance of the keeper with their dinner is a signal for whines and growlo, and when the fresh meat Is thrown to them they snap and snarl surlily until they have disposed of It Horse flesh has been found an excel leni' west for tbe animals, and a cheap food at that It probably forms the principal diet of the Hons and ti gers In Central park, while the Zoolog ical garden bears receive a limited amount of "chuck" beef every day. There Is a great variety of food giv en to the other animals, and tho mess department of the park Is an Interest ing place. There the rooks are prepar ing for the apes and monkeys cus tards and puddings made out of tapio ca, ontmeal or rice; chopping meat and fish for the aquatic turtles, and prepar ing vegetarian compounds for the land tortoises. There are great quantities of cabbages, melons, squashes and let tuce llcd up for dally use for a long list of creatures which never touch any flesh or Insects. The birds Dave Im mense graneties where hemp, rape and other seeds are stored. Every morn ing a tutcher delivers at the storage house a hugo basket of chicken heads, which have been chopped off In the markets for use at the menagerie. These fresh heads are leu to the foxes, which eat them greedily, and to some of the email carnlvora. Roots and vegetables and fruits of all kinds are collected there. These are fed to the elks, deer, buffalo, birds, monkeys an-1 many other creatures to keep their systems In good order. They represent a sort of medicinal food to counteract any evil effects ot the heavier diet. Hay, oats, wheat and corn naturally form a considerable part of the dally diet of the elephants, rhlnocerl, hip popotami and similar herbivorous ani mals. Q. E. W., in the Seientlflo American. BOOKS BOUND IN HUMAN SKIN. Volume Enshrined In the Fpldermls of M Itontttli'tit Countess. Some of the French bibliophiles have caused a number ct volumes to be bound In the skin of human beings, Might not these weird literary treas ures be designated in a very literal sense as "human documents?" A Pa risian trade paper devoted to the loath er Industry declares that the skin nf a human being Is admirably adapted for book binding, that It is finely grained, of excellent quality, and dura ble besides. In England Dr. Anthony Askew caused a book on anatomy to be covered with the skin of a notorious sorcoreta who was executed for aiur dcr. In the catalogue of the library of M. M. L. Veydt, minister of finance of Belgium, attention was railed to a book entitled "Philosophy and Lltera ry Opuscules," covered with human skin; the price was not prohibitory being only 20 francs. In the Blblio- thequo Imperinle, Paris, may ho seen a Bible of the 13th century bound In the epidermis of a woman. A copy of Eugene Sue's "Mysteries of Paris" was enclosed in a similar ghastly binding. A plate Inside the volume at tests the fact. Strange to say, there Is a sentimental side to this weird fancy. A charming French countess, of extraordinary beauty, whoBe shoulders elicited ex clamations of admiration from Flam marion, France's author-astronomer, rewarded the devotion of her admirer by leaving him, as a precious legacy the skin from those same lovely shoulders, to do Vvtli as he pleased Wishing to have It within his reach he Bent It to a tanner, who prepared It in the accepted manner. With the gnl lantry worthy of a Frenchman, tho renowned astronomer caused a volume of an edition do luxe of his "Terre ct Clol" to be covered with the adorable epidermis of tho sprightly countess. The edges of the leavo3 are of blood red, sprinkled with golden stars. On the dedication page one may read: "Souvenir d'une Morte." Even a more gnoulisli idea was that of a lawyer, M. Edmund Leroy, who caused tho works of Delille, the tran slator of tho "Oeorglcs," to be covered with the poet's own skin. Mr. Leroy was present when the body was era balmed, and bribed the undertaker to strip off a portion of the dead man's epidermis. In these lugubrious frag' ments his writings were preserved. Tnls curiosity Is to be found in the library of Valenciennes, France. Thero are a few specimens of bind ings of human skin in the 1'nlted States. A bibliophile In Cincinnati owns p. couple of volumes, one, Sterne's "Sentimental Journey," done up In the dusky skin of a negress; the other, "Tristram Shandy," covered with the skin of a Chinese woman. Not only has the skin of human be ings been occasionally employed by the bookbinders, but that df almost every animal known to the naturalist The monkey, the crocodile, the ape, the dog, the horse, the panther, th) wolf, the elephant, tho rat and the mole have all been subservient to the fantastic fancies of hook lovers. For instance, a book on hunting, brought out In London, was bound in doe skin; a book on dogs In dog skin, etc., etc. "Realism" in book binding may be carried too far. It gives one a curi ous sensation consciously to finger the tanned cuticle of a departed person. Were the reader superstitious, ha might fancy that the spirit of the defunct would rise up and haunt him for the desecration. Comtesse de Mon talgn, In the New York Post. Xarque from Argentina. The manufacture of xarque, or dried beef, the biltong of the Boers, forms one of the most important Industries of the Argentine Republic, whence it is shipped In large quantities to Bra zil and other South American states. A shipment of xarque is about to be made to the Italian colony of Erythrea, In Africa. According to a Brazilian paper, this dried beef Is not at all bad when properly cooked, while It Is far more nutritious than tinned beef, at a quarter of the latter's cost Indeed, some foreigners not to the manner born get to like It so much that they Insist on its appearing at th tables nct or twice a week.
