Boer Predicts British Domination Will Not Last. Karl Von Boeckman, formerly of Johannesburg, Sputh Africa, and now traveling in this country, does not be­ lieve that South Africa will be under British domination over ten years at the outside. Mr. Von Broeckman says: "The Transvaal, Natal, the Orange Free State, as it was called of yore, and Cape Colony, will at no dis­ tant day form a federation and be­ come as free of English control as Canada is now. I spent most of my life in South Africa, but after the war with England could never be content to live there. It is a good land nat­ urally, and would become populous and rich but for the way the capital­ istic combine which owns the Kim- berley diamond field and the gold mines contrives to shut off develop­ ment of native resources and to ex­ clude foreigners who might come in and build up the country. The selfish and grasping combine does not look to the general welfare, but seeks only its private ends. It does all it can to keep the outside world from coming into any of this territory, which it now dominates and hopes to flomin^te for all time." Depew's Idea of Wealth. Cbauncey M. Depew recently said that one of the narrow escapes of his iife was when he refused some thirty years ago, to advance $10,000 to help Alexander Graham Bell and his fath­ er-in-law, the late Gardiner Hubbard, to develop the newly invented "talk­ ing telegraph." Mr. Depew was then counsel for the Harlem railroad and Mr. Barrie's pet animal is the whale. Had I accepted the proposition," Mr. Depew said. "I would be worth to-day about $30,000,000, or my estate would, for with this vast wealth I should have had no incentive to healthy work, and I should have deteriorated and should probably now be dead and forgotten."

Austin's Pancake flour PENMANSHIP OF THE 8EXE8. Expert Avers It Is Hard to Distinguish Between Them. "Experts will ljot agree with Alfred Benet. the French psychologist, as to the infallibility of sex in handwriting," •said William J. Kinsley. "Take a 'mannish' woman, one of those who wear stiff collars, cut.their hair short and like Derby hats for street wear, and they write so much like a man that the best experts in penmanship are deceived. In the so-called library hand, which is a form of engrossing, the letters are so much alike that it is almost impossible to tell whether the work Is done by men or women. In the majority of cases it is possible to tell a woman's handwriting, no mat­ ter how much she may try to disguise it. Her fondness for long angles is sure to crop out somewhere. But, as I have said, in the case of mannish women, sex in handwriting is not so pronounced as M. Benet asserts it is. "The same thing is true of feminine men, if I may use the term. I have had letters submitted to me written by men whose names frequently figure in the chronicles of the smart set that nine out of ten men would be ready to swear were written by a woman. I do not say this style has been ac­ quired by cultivation. I think men who spend most of their time danciing attendance on women fall into their ways unconsciously, and it shows in nothing more quickly than in their handwriting." Hie Unique Method of Calling Atten­ tion to the Fact. Rudyard Kipling once visited the late Cecil Rhodes at Lekkerwijn, one of his fruit farms at Paarl, South Af­ rica., One morning Rhodes went around his farm before breakfast, leaving his guest, who was not so en­ ergetic, behind. Time went on and Rhodes did not appear. Hunger soon roused Kipling to action and in a short while he was very busy on his own. account. As Rhodes returned he found his trees bearing a new kind of truit in the shape of placards inscribed in huge black letters with "Famine!" "We are starving!" "Feed us!" etc. On reaching the front door he <wa& con­ fronted with tne following, in still larger type: "hor the human race- Breakfast tones the mind, invigorates the body. It has sustained1 thousands; it will sustain you. See that you get It." Then, in the house, on every available wall, he came across other mysterious placards in more and more pathetic appeal: "Why die when a little breakfast prolongs life?" Larger and larger grew the type: "It is late; it is still later," leading at last into the little breakfast room, where he found Kipling reading his paper in peaceful innocence but very hungry. It did not need much Ingenuity to guess the author of these broadsides. WHERE WE GET MU8K. • t " Article* of Commerce Is Obtained From the Muskdeer. Musk in the raw looks a good deal like axle grease, and smells worse. The popular notion that the musk of commerce is obtained from the musk- rat is a mistake. A somewhat Bimllar perfume may be obtained from the muskrat, but most of the supply comes from the muskdeer, a creature that is cafefully reared in India for the sake of the secretion. The secretion is shipped in the crude state, and is used not only in the manufacture of the liquid perfume sold as musk, but also In very small quantities to give strength agd staying power to many perfumes made from the essential oils of flowers. Curiously enough, the blossoms of two native plants have a noticeably taiusky odor. One is the well-known small yellow blossom. Its odor is marked, and is counterfeited in the commercial perfume called musk. The other is the bloodroot. The pure white blossom of that early spring plant has a distinct, though delicate musky odor. A bean known as the musk bean is a cheap substitute for animal musk.--London Tit-Bits. HAPPY DAYS. When Friends Say "Hew Well Yea Look." To Light Tunnels. Phosphorescent tunnels and sta­ tions are now suggested for insuring public safety in the Paris tube. A company has offered to paint luminous bands on the walls, on exit doors, etc., which would obviate all danger from the sudden extinguishing of the elec­ tric, petroleum or other lamps in case or flre or any other accident The phosphorescence Is produced by a coating of calcium monosulphide, ob­ tained by mixing sulphur and oys­ ter shells, or calcined cuttlefish bones, and therefore costing very little. Be­ sides lighting tunnels and stations sufficiently for emergencies, the phos­ phorescent paint could be used for in­ scriptions by engraving the latter on glass and filling the lines of the let­ ters with the calcium monosulphide. Thus indications as "This way out," would become luminous In the event of failure of the ordinary lights. The paint remains phosphorescent for a considerable time, as oxidization, transforming the substance into non- luminous sulphate of lime, only sets in very gradually.--Pittsburg Press.

What happy days are those when all our friends say, "How well you look." We can bring those days by a little care in the selection of food Just as this young man did. "I had suffered from dyspepsia for three years and last summer was so bad I was unable to attend school," he says: "I was very thin and my appe­ tite at times was poor, while again it was craving. I was dizzy and my food always used to ferment instead of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness and nervousness were very prominent symptoms. "Late in the summer I went to visit a sister and there I saw and used Grape-Nuts. I had heard of this fa­ mous food before, but never was in­ terested enough to try it, for I never knew how really good it was. But' when I came home we used Grape- Nuts in our household all the time and I soon began to note changes in my health. I improved steadily and am now strong and well in every way and am back at school able to get my lessons with ease and pleasure and can remember them too, for the Improvement in my mental power is very noticeable and I get good marks in my studies which always seemed difficult before.

"There is less in a name most people think," remarked big "Jim" Kennedy at the Old Guard fair the other evening. "I have a friend whose mania is the subject of names. He de­ clares that if you put six men in front of him and tell him their names, without saying to which man each name belongs, he can fix the right name to the right man In five out of six cases. He boasts of this so much that I was glad the other evening to turn him down. We were sitting at a table in a cafe when a tremendously big, husky looking chap came in. scribbled six names on a paper and passed it to my friend. "That big chap's name's on the list," I said.

Extraordinary scenes occurred at the counting of votes during a muni­ cipal election at Florenzac, near ftont- pellier, France.

Upon the fraud be­ ing denounced by the opposition, several hundred pea3ants, armed with pitchforks and other weapons, at­ tempted to break into the school­ room where the counting was going on, and threatened to lynch the offi­ cials concerned.

The great duke of Argyll was visit­ ing his son, then governor general of Canada, and met Longfellow in the American poet's ancient colonial man­ sion at Cambridge, Mastr. As they sat together on the veranda the duke persistently asked the names of the various birds he saw and h^ard* sing­ ing In the poet's trees, as well as of the flowers and bushes growing in his extensive and beautiful garden. Long­ fellow was neither botanist nor orni­ thologist, and did not know. "I was surprised to find your Long­ fellow such an ignorant (person," said the duke subsequently to an American acquaintance. "Indeed! Pray, on what subject?" "Why, he could not tell me the names of the birds and flowers to be heard and seen in his own garden." "May I ask how many languages you speak?" the American asked. "Cer­ tainly, but one." "Mr. Longfellow." was the answer, "speaks six and trans­ lates freely from almost all the lan­ guages of Europe."--The Criterion. Has He Found It? Polk, Ark., Nov. 9.--A remedy that will absolutely cure Rheumatism, has been discovered by Mr. George Hiland of this place. Mr. Hiland is satisfied that the remedy he has used is a sure cure, for it cured him of a very seri­ ous case of Acute Rheumatism when he was so bad that he could not move. This is what he says: "I was troubled with what is called Acute Rheumatism In 1900. I was in such shape that I could not move with­ out help. I was treated by a physician, who helped me some, but I was ihlll In great pain when my wife saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on my try­ ing them, and I felt better after taking 'he first box. I continued and now I am well and able to work all the time. I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills to be just what they are claimed to be, a perfect cure for Rheumatism." Mr. Hiland's very positive statement seems to settle all doubt as to whether or not Rheumatism can be cured. Hosiery Same Color as Costume. Spring lines of women's hosiery are now being offered by wholesale houses. Solid colors seem to have supplanted fancy combinations to a considerable degree. The edict has been promulgated that the right effect next summer will be produced by hay­ ing hosiery of similar shade to that of the dress. There has been such a demand during several seasons for combination patterns that the return to solid colors'marks a radical depart­ ure. 1 Goal is abundant this year, but very high tn price.
