When the war in the Transvaal broka out, Dr. Frederick Schaffer, a diNtin- j gill shed German army surgeon, obtain ed permission to accompany the British troops, his object being to ascertain to what extent the lance is effective as a ' weapon in war. During the campaign he devoted his entire attention to this subject, and now he lias returned home ami forwarded to his government an official report thereon. In It he says that wounds caused by a lance are not dangerous and are easi ly cured, and that the reason is because the iron point of the weapon Is round and therefore passes through the or gans of the body without injuring them to any groat extent. "Being such a humane weapon," he points out, "the lance Is by no means as valuable in war as Is generally supposed. Never theless it can be uiade a dangerous weapon by merely changing the form of Its point, and if the military authori ties decide to retain it as a portion of the equipment of cavalry this should certainly be done." This suggestion is exciting a good deal of comment In Europe. The Frank fort Gazette, apparently appalled at the thought of transforming a humane weapon into a cruel one, says sarcas tically: "We propose that the point of the lance be made of such a shape that It will lacerate every organ in the body and render the cure of every wound utterly Impossible. Furthermore, it will be well for the authorities to seriously consider the advisability of Impregnat ing the point of the lance with some deadly poison." A (aernmii Ofllofr'* Knowlrilm l , The "map question" in South Africa is said to be responsible for a number of our disasters As showing how very differently the surveying of other eoun trlea Is attended to iu the German ar my, a correspondent sends the follow ing story: "A few weeks ago I happen ed to he in Berlin. I chanced to re- ; mark to a young staff officer that im- ! mediately on arrival In London busl nens would take me to a little Hamp shire village. As It was many miles from the station I would, I observed, I probably have great difficulty in ob ; tabling a conveyance. 'Not at all.' promptly observed my friend. 'You will reach the railway station at 2:30 p. m. on Thursday afternoon. It Is mar ket day, and an omnibus leaves the ; station for the village on that day at I hourly intervals between 10 a. m. and 6 p. in. If you choose to walk, how- i ever, you must remember to take the j second turning on the left and the first ' on the right after leaving the station.' I Of course I asked my Informant if he ! had visited the place. 'I have never j been In England In my life,* was the j answer. 'I am on the surveying staff, [ and the southeastern portion of Hump- i shire is my district.' "—London Chroni cle. A Rig Frog Fnriu. How many generations ago was it when unkind British satirists began calling Frenchmen frog eaters In ac cents of sneering and contempt? It Is not unlikely that in these days as many frogs' legs are cooked and eaten In the United States as In our sister re public over the sea. The sales in our markets are large, and the demand in American homes and restaurants seems to be steadily Increasing. Sev eral keen New Englunders have put i their heads together aud also their cap ital and have decided to start a huge frog farm uot a hundred miles from Boston. The annual crop will not he sent across the ocean, but will be taken in the markets of our principal cities. This is a time of odd and novel Indus tries. Is there a possible profit in tad poles too?

Washington is perhaps the most mor al of the large cities of the country. There are no gambling houses. Faro, roulette and Ueno are unknown. Poker, when played, Is restricted to small groups in private rooms. Sunday ob servance Is notable. Not only are sa loons shut tight, but other places of business, save where food or news papers or drugs are on sale. No the atrical entertainments are given, the last vaudeville house which attempted a Sunday night performance having yielded to pressure the past year.

It is actual, licensed places closing promptly at the hours specified in the law.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Dirt Eater*. There Is an old legend that every man must eat a peck of dirt before he dies. In some parts of Australia people eat more than a peck of it and do actually die as a result. There Is a disease there which frequently becomes epidemic, as it has now in North Queensland, and which takes the form of inspiring its victims with a mad desire to eat earth. At Geraldtown, Cooktown and Towns ville conditions are more than serious, and It is feared that the scourge will spread and that the school children will come under Its influence. A com mission of medical men has just been appointed to consider means of check ing the disease. New Orlennn Markrl*. By the operation of a new law near ly 1.000 green grocers, butchers and poultry sellers In New Orleans are forced to close their places of business permanently. The law in question pro hibits the establishment of a private market within 3,200 feet of a public market and was enacted in the interest of the public market lessees in order to increase the revenue of the city. It has been tested and upheld in the. ♦ourts. The public markets now have a monopoly, and food prices in New Orleans will go up 10 or 15 per cent.— New York Tribune. Acquaintance 11 ear wed.

I Coventry Pat more, the English poet, wus a somewhat inattentive and care less driver and when his tits of reverie came upon him would allow the horse to follow its own equine will. One day he took his wife for a drive, and they ! went on and on until evening began to fall. Mr. Patmore, absorbed in his own thoughts, had no idea of turning, nor could his wife arouse him to a sense of their situation. She spoke to him. He did not answer. She shook him and ' then, as a last resort, stopped the horse. This brought her husband to himself, and he acknowledged that the region was entirely unknown to him. A coun tryman presently appeared, and they asked him the way to Heron's Ghyll. "I don't rightly know," said he, "but if you go on as you're going you'll be drownded." Indeed there proved to be a large I)ond but a few yards beyond the spot where they had stopped. This habit of Inattentive driving be j came a lixed one and even impressed Itself upon the mind of Mr. Patmore's little son. One day, after he had been his father's companion on such an ex cursion, he sought Mrs. Patmore. "Mamma," said he. "Piphle would rather not be a poet when he's a man." ! "Why not?" asked Mrs. Patmore. "Because," said the child, "poets take so long to drive to Winehelsea."— Youth's Companion. She Knew the Day Well. A poor little faded woman had been brought into court as witness In a case involving very Important issues. The eutire case depended on the fact that a paper had been signed on a certain !

"I know it was. sir." The lawyer, who thought, another date could he proved, assumed an exas perating smile and repeated her words. "You know It was? And now be so good as to tell us how you know It." The poor little creature looked from one countenance to another with wide, sorrowful eyes, as If she sought under , standing and sympathy; then her gaze ! rested on the kindly face of the Judge. , "I know," she said as If speaking to { him "because that was the day I my baby died."—Pearson's Weekly. An Odd Change Pane. By long odds the neatest change purse I have ever seen comes from the land of the Aztecas and is of pure Indi lan origin. Two disks of embossed leather 2*4 Inches In diameter are I sewed together on their perimeters ex- I cept for the space of IVi Inches, thus j leaving an opening into which coins may be introduced. This pocket Is now placed between two other emboss ed disks three inches In diameter, which are likewise sewed together on I their perimeters except for a space of I two inches, and the arc thus left is cut 1 away, permitting the inner pocket to i he turned by pulling with the thumb and finger, but not allowing It to es- I cape from the outer covering. Turn ha Id inner pocket around until the open ing appears, put lu the coins and turn back until the opening is concealed. It is impossible to lose a coin and impos sible to extract change until the open ings in the inner and outer pockets co incide.—Now York Tress. A Hnntler. The Merchants' Review tells this sto ry on a drummer for an Ithaca grocery house: The grocer sent out an energetic young man to canvass for new custom ers. He worked hard for the interests of his employer and also somewhat wearied the good housewives whom ho called upon. At one house he used up his whole line of argument and gasped for more, as the lady of the house still said she was perfectly satislied with her regular grocer. Then a liappy thought struck him, and he said; "Mrs. Jones, I wouldn't for the world say anything against that grocer you patronize, but let me ask you if you think that he cares anything for you except your money? Do you think that he intends to plant roses oil your grave? Now, you just trade with my firm, and I guarantee that they will give you entire satisfaction." CASTOR.IA.
