A Philadelphia paper has started a
fiscussion about the most satisfactory
short poem in literature. One which
aas brought comfort to thousands of
perplexed souls is “Thirty Days Hath
September.”
American kerosene is now univer-
sally used in Corea because the natives
have been made to believe that it is
extracted from the moon’s rays. At
first they would not touch it, believing
it was a profanation of the sun-god.
m an effort to determine the rela-
tion between the rapidity of growth of
an animal and its duration of life,
Flourens found that the time occupied
by it in reaching full growth, multi-
plied by five gave its longevity. Buf-
fon made the multiplier six or seven.
Anyway there seems to be a fixed re-
lation between the time an animal oc-
cupies in reaching maturity and its
duration of life.
A leper was exhibited at a lecture
to an audience of Chicago university
students the other day. Dr. James
Nevins Hyde, the lecturer, said that
leprosy is not dangerously contagious;
that it is curable, and that it is gradu-
. ally disappearing from all countries.
He does not believe that any drug
capable of curing leprosy will ever be
diseovered. Cleanliness and good food,
he asserts, are the surest and best
remedies.
A cigar~manufacturer in Philadel-
phia has > a new idea. He has
had a pia laced in each of the two
large rooms in which the cigars are
made. Every day a musician comes to
the factory and gives the employes a
singing lesson. This plan has been
found to be not only pleasant, but
profitable. The employer has discov-
jered that the girls make more cigars
luring the hour of singing tho they
make during any other howe Gf the day.

According to reports the taste of the
people for cocoa and chocolate is rapid-

which, however, comes from less au-
thoritative scources, that the daily out-
put of the breakfast-food factories has
reached a total of a million dollars.

the blow falls, and it inevitably fails,
we do learn and do improve. The

A Pastoral Love Story.
fn Idyll of the Early South African |
house, smoking in the peaceful st
ness of the velvety cool twilight of
upland South Africa.
“Come in Dirck, old friend!” he
cried as the visitors dismounted and
gave over their horses to the native
servants. “Who is he?” he added,
pointing with his pipe to John, Mar-
itz presented him, adding a low-
spoken sentences, whereat thu Boer's
manner changed, and grasping John's
hand, he exclaimed heartily: “Come
along and have some supper; my wife
has mentioned you.” John's heart
leaped.
The evening meal was spread in a
great square room. Seated majesti-
cally before a huge coffee urn, which
hissed above a pan of live charcoal,
was Tante van Haaren, and at her
side—oh, rapture!—stood Minna.
Such a demure maiden she looked
as, with downcast eyes, she gave
John her hand in the conventional
greeting. But she started with a
quick blush as her father said in a
low tone: “Wife, Dirck Maritz in-
troduces the young man.” And she
slipped away into an inner room for
a few minutes.
The, dignified hausfrau filled the
cups with coffee, which Minna—a
Hebe of the sheepfolds—handed
around. To John that cup was nec-
tar; and when his devouring eyes at
length caught hers, her ingenious |
blush intoxicated him.
In the year 1860 that part of South |
Africa known as the Orange Free |
State was a quiet, peaceful land,
thinly inhabited by the Boer farmers, |
content with the simple comforts of
their immense estates and unvexed |
by the rush and bustle of the outside
world. {
Then and there to be the owner of |
a store was by no means a bad start |
in life; and to be an Englishman was |
—In those days—an honorable dis-
tinction. Therefore, young John War- |
ren held his head high, for his was
the only store—a sixty by forty shan-
ty, stocked with every variety of the
simple merchandise needed by the
farmers—in the Churchdrop of the
district, and center of trade for the
Boers who dwelt widely scattered
along the fertile valley of the Orange
River.
Here, assisted by an Afrikander
youth named Peter—who despised ag-
riculture and aspired to own a store of
his own—John ran a successful busi-
ness with the Myrheeren, and was un- |
frequently consulted as an oracle by
the Meffrowen who rode in, once a |
month, from their far away homes,
to meet in church, to buy and sell,
and to absorb the infrequent news
that flitted in from the far-off world.
The nren would sometimes come
on skittish horses, but more often it
was the great, tented wagon, drawn
by fourteen sleek and carefully |
matched oxen, and carrying a whole |
family, that would rumble up along-
side the store. From these would |
emerge dames, imperious and stout,
accompanied by pretty daughters and
nieces, whom it was John's duty and
—as to the girls—privilege, to assist
to alight and convey to his counters. |
There, with all pleasure, and as much
profit as he could make, he would try
to suit the varied tastes of his fair
customers,
One day a quite aristocratic
icle, a hooded cart drawn by four fine
horses, instead of the wagon and
slow-moving oxen, drove up to the
door. Peter flew out, and presently
ushered in a portly and very loud-
volcel lady accompanied by a tall,
slim girl, whom the dame addressed |
as Minna.
At Peter’s signal, John turned over
to him the customer with whom he
was bargaining, and hastened to pay
business court to the evidently im- |
portant new comer. The graceful |
carriage of the girl piqued his curi-
osity, the more that her face was en-
tirely concealed by an extra big sun- |
bonnet—the “kapji,” worn by all Boer |
maidens who value their complexion. |
Rustic finery for herself and daugh- |
ter was the elder lady's quest. Nor
was she easily pleased. But as the
heap of materials grew upon the coun- |
ter, the young lady wculd no longer
be restrained. To see better, she
pushed back her sunbonnet, revealing
to John's astonished eyes a refined
and delicately flushed face, lighted |
by large gray eyes, shaded by long |
lashes. She blushed prettily as, look-
ing up to ask the price of a silk,
she caught the young man's admiring
gazed fixed upon her. But his ad-
miration seemed not displeasing, for
presently a half-smile—and that upon |
her own initiative—in his direction.
bound him her slave for life.
“Minna—close your cappy!” snap-
ped the careful mother, who perhaps |
had caught the fleeting love-glance.
Obediently and in silence the well-
trained daughter veiled his sun, to
John’s disgust.
“Peter,” sald John, as they stood |
at the door watching the cloud of!
dust in which the cart had disappear-
ed, “who is she?”
“Don’t you know,” the lad replied. |
“That's my aunt, Juffron van Haaren.
Ach! but old tante is a good one to
make a fellow work. Look at all that
stuff to be put away.” “Oh, bother
your aunt!” snapped John. “Who's
the young lady?” Peter grinned and
jumped out of arm’s length, as he
retorted: “You are not the first one
to ask that. She's Minna van Haraen, |
and her father owns more land and
more sheep than any one in the Free |
State. But she is hard to please, if
that's what you are thinking about.” |
At this John's heart sank. What |
chance had he? A storekeeper and a |
foreigner! But this did not prevent |
him from thinking by day and dream-'!
ing by night of those grey eyes, and |
that smile which might have meant
so much. Then would recur the

His spirits rose. To the simple |
Boers his little anecdotes were the
cream of wit; and by the time the |
meal was ended, both the old people |
loved him. “Good, good—for an Eng- |

and again. |
Then, somehow, somewhere, John |
found himself seated beside his girl, |
upen the great wooden settle which, |
covered by two ° great lion skins, |
stretched its comfortable length in |
the ingle-nook. {

said:
“Good night, Miss Van Haaren, I
{ fear I am keeping you too late.”
Ah, then, indeed, the girl was,
moved. Lifting up those great grey
eyes, she said: “B-ut the candle
burns yet!” John had, however,
not been long enough in the Free
State to understand, so he rose and
marched somewhat sulkily to the room
jutting out upon the stoep, to which
he and Dirck had been shown earlier
in the evening as their guest cham-
There, sunk in the depths of a |
feather bed, beside the
billowing
appointment,
‘he sun was but peeping when they |
were called to “early coffee.” There |
horses were standing fed, groomed |
and saddled at the door. Mamma
did not appear; but Minna? Oh, yes.
While Dirck and Papa were in animat- |
conversation, she slipped along-
side of John with his cup of coffee
| : : : |
{ and, as she gave it him, said—very
low, but with a charming smile—a
few words which, to John’s unaccus-
tomed ear, conveyed no tangible mean- |
ing at all; and he parted without
hope.
Followed by the farmer's hearty
shout of “Come again; come soon,”
they rode away. When the first!
burst of the fresh horses had settled
into a steady lope, Dirick asked:
“Well—and what did she say to you?”
“Say!” answered John bitterly; “the
only connected sentence she uttered
from first to last, was this morning,
when she gave me coffee. That's
what I have got for being a presumpt-
ous fool. I'll sell out and go right
back to Capetown-—or more likely to

“So, so. But what did she say?” |
persisted Dirck.
“Just nothing. As she gave ma cof- |
fee this morning, she just remarked: |
‘I have five thousand sheep.’ Now

Dirck’s shrill whistle of amazement |
stopped all further comment. “Man!”
he shouted, “that’s quick work. Five
thousand sheep. She said that right
out? You are in luck. Why, in this |
country, a girl to mention her wealth |
to a carle who has ‘sat up with her, |
is a proposal of marriage. Go and

“Blind luck is the most remarkable |
thing,” said ad old mechanic to a Star
reporter. {In 1854, with a party of
other youn? men belonging in Wash-
ington, I started out to California to |
find gold. ‘On our arrival there we |
learned of the great finds on the Fra-
zer River in British Columbia, which |
created as much excitement as the
gold fever in California, and our |
party decided to go there. There

consented to take him along. The

SAVED BY AN ECHO.
A Tract Where Deer Are Plenty, but
Few Are Killed by Visitors.
Between Beech Hill Stream and
Beech Hill Mountain, in Maine, is a
wide intervale thickly wooded and
abounding in deer, though ncne Has
been shot cn the track for five or sis
years.
Men who came to town with letter:
certifying they were dead shots have
gona to this piece of forest land and
hunted for days, and though they
have fired frequently none of them
has brought down his game. Local
residents who are used to deer shoot
ing say there are deer enough on
this tract of 5,000 acres to load a train
of box cars; and they declare that
there is no trouble in killing them.
This season Amaziah Gray, a guide
who has hunted in many States, took
otu a new hunter to the Beech Hill
preserve and led him through the
weods for two days, coming in every
night tired and foot sore but without
game of any kind. The bal luck dis
courazed the visitor after a time, and
he went away. When he had gone
Gray told the reason of his failure.
“It is all due to a plague-gone echo,”
said Gray. “You know how a green
horn hunts deer, of course. When he
sees one running through the woods
Le fires off his gun in the air, which
scares the and causes him to
stop and listen.

“The whole trouble Is due to a med:
{ dlesome echo which lives over on the
side of Beech Hill Mountain, and has
to speak up at the wrong time and
spol all the fun.
“When the new hunter shoots oft
-un in the air to make the deer
stop and look about him, he expects
to have time to jack out the empty
from his rifle, bring a full shell
forward to the barrel and put his gun
to his shoulder and take aim. It is
good reasoning, and it would work
most anywhere but here.
“You see, when the hunter shoots
his gun to call the attention of the
deer the noise does not stop within
rifie range. but keeps traveling right
along until it hits the side of the
mountain, where that low-down echo
catches it and fires it back.
