They were Prince Malunge, Nogeogeo, and Nehemiah Vilakazi. compatriots. u | Welcome, my children, said the General, cheerily.

"We will to. live up to what you have told We are, hted to see you, haw ng heard so much about you." "Let us ask a blessing on your peo- ple, on our King, and all Afriea," enid the General. And the Bwagi chiefs knelt down with the old Christian warrior while he prayed with his nsnal fervor, Vilakazi again trans- lating: Then the General and the chiefs After. the try us. i 4 pres photograph of himsell. shook hands warmly with them, tell ing them never to listen to seditious words in their own country. When Divers Get Angry. "One of the strange effects that div- ing has upon these who practice in" said & veteran diver, "is the invari able bad temper felt while working at the bottom, and as this irritability passes away as soon as the in reached again it is only reason to suppose that it is caused by the un- usual pressure of air inside the dress the lungs and - probably through them the brain. My expen- ence has been that while below ome may fiy into the most violent passion at the merest trifle. For instance, the life line may be held too tight or too slack; too much air or too liftle or some imaginary wrongdoing on the part of the tender 'or the men above will often cause the 'temper to rise. i TA i 38% i!

French + Government to Get Rid of Pacific Convicts. Information reactyed Sydney from Noumwa that the French Govern- ment hat at last decided to begin the work of repatriatisg certain classes of convicts to New Caledonia. This news has given great satisfaction to all A tralians. Women who were sen to the island in the Pacific for petty efimes are 40 be permitted 10 geturn to their homes, and eveninally further repatriation is to proceed . It has always been amore point with Australians that their competitors in the colonization of the French and British groups of Pacific islands should perpetuate that "birth stain" which they have long ago relegated to school histories and shories of the "bad old conviet daym." New Cale donia's proximity tc the New Heb rides and the comparative esse wih which escaped prisoners from "Nou- mea can seidle in theme lazy Pacific behuty-spots, and taint the reputation of white men, has sited a touch of bitterness to the generation of old grievance of the Commonwealth against Franee. From the days of 1871 New Cale- donia has been the dumping<ground of France's eriminals. If there be a genuine turn of the tide of criminal emigration, it will de more than any- thing else to cement French and British relations in this part of the world. ATTACKING POSTMEN. New Way of Preventing Service of Writs in ireland. An extraordinary outrage is report- ed from the district near Killarney, where a rural postman was attacked and gagged and his mail bag rifled. He was cycling through the rural distriet of Rathmore delivering letters in the lonely hanilets, when in the gathering darkness two men attacked im from behind, pulled him off his machine, and hed him down while they cut the mail bag . The assailants ny without be- ing identified. The postman was not seriously injured, and was able to re- sume his journey and report the affair at Rathmore postoffice. Nothing of any value was taken from she post bag. although thre ha to peasants from rela tives in America. The 'only solution of the mystery is that the outrage was actuated by the same mot an.some of those which have occurred in. Leitrim, where post men have been aitacked and writs w were being sent through the post were taken. _There is a good deal of agrarian agi- tation' in She district connected with the sale of Lord Kenmare's property to th ants. A pumber of writs from the Supreme Court have beer served recently, which have caused some unpi ntness, and many ten- afits that they will use every means in their power to prevent their eattle being seized for the arrears of rent, which they réfuse to pay. Governor's Narrow Congo. The narrow escape of the.Lieuten- ant-Governor, of Bengal is reported ia a Reuter telegram from Calcutta, which describes an atdempt. made to wreck the special train in which His Excellency Sir Andrew Fraser, Lady Fraser, with his staff and @ number of police; -were = traveling. Having regard to the matare of the.explosives used, railway officials are astonished that a terrible catastrophe did not occur. The train was manning through to Kharagpur, and when between Marayanger and Bensgpur the driver felt the engine lift and bump. Simul taneously he heard a loud explosion. Luckily the train did not leave the rails, and the vacuum pipes parted automatically, putting on the brakes. The explosion tore a big hole in the ground, while some sleepers were blown to fragments. The "States. man," dismissing the theory. that the oytrage was the work of disaffected alis in the Madaspur district, says: "Pieces of shattered sleepers were found at & distance of from 150 to 200 yards away from where the ex- plosion ocgurred, and we are told that some of them have been sold at as much as 100 rupees each as memen- tees of the first attempt that has been made on the life of a high state official since the assassination of Mr Justice Norman pad Lord Mayo." A police officer and 50 men hawe gone to the sgene of the outrage. Under a 'tree close to the spot sweetmeats and other traces of an emcampment have been found. Various theories are put forward to account for the outrage, oné being that it was the work of & discontented ganger. ' Ball Dreds of Stamps. At a ball in Bermuda, a wonderful dress was won, and in the making of it over 30,000 stamps were used. Years were spent in collecting the stamps and 'three weeks in the making of m : The woman called upon her friends to help her, and the dress was covered with the stamps of all nations. They were not put on anyhow, but in an On the front of the bodice was an eagle made entirely of brown Colum- bian stamps. Suspended from the bird's talons was a globe made of very old blue revenue stamps. On each side of the globe was an American flag, having stripes of red and blue stamps.

Weird Story of Shipwrecked Mariner On the French Coast. : A remarkable mystery, which has filled & large number of Belgians with stapefaction and even with awe, has (says the Brussels gorrespoadent of the "Daily Telegraph") been discover- ed in the forest of Soignies, near Brussels. The forest guards were not a little taken aback one morning when they met in the midst of the woods an unknown being, looking and bev having as much kke a moukey as like a man. The police opened an inquiry, and a trap was set. The policemen hid themselves behind trees to catch the monster, but the latter made his. eseape by climbing up the trees and running through the thicket. The mystery wa¥ solved later, when the strange being was found in a starving condition at the foot of a tree. If was really a man, but his aspect was tervifving. His bair and his beard were those of a savage. It was found that he eould not answer questions put to him except by terrible shrieks. He was frightfully thir and dirty, and wore nothing but a piece of cloth tied around his chest. Ax he was lying under the tree several doctors were called to examine him, and the first idea was that the man was a lunatic After further examination he was found to'be wearing round his neek a ohain with a silver medal attached to it, bearing the word, '"'Mygraen." Myy is the mame of a Norwegian barque which ran agroumd on the French coast more than ten years ago, and at the time no survivors of the catastropbe could be traced. It was surmised that the man might be one of the survivors of the wreck. A Nor- wegian philanthropist, Baron Grynd- sacl, tow. the necessary sieps to have the man sent back to Norway. He was sent to Antwerp, and was immediately placed on beard the steamer Gumar, which was to leave that night for Hel- singborg. On board the ship an extra- ordinary scene occurred. The ship's captain tried fo chat with the man, and addressed him in Norwegian. On hearing at last his mother-tongue the man burst into tears and began to talk with much lucidity. From what he said it appears he really was a member of the Mygraen's crew, and that he had been living ever since the shipwreck in the French and Bel- gian forests like a wild man. WHERE THE WOMEN. VOTE. What New Suffrage Movement Has Déne For Australia. Apropos of the BSaffragette move- memt, several papees have been at pains %to pomt out thal the granting of woman's suffrage in'ecertain States in Australia has been followed with --the demoralization demoralization of male woters them- selves The papers voicing these sentiments have received communication from the Rev. W. A. Hobson, a Congregn- tional minister, who has just returned from a journey through Australia. He declares that the women who vote there are not i , "but always make for a clear moral issue, and miuse 40 suppers any party which refuses ¢o make pre-eminent not finan- vi ions, but national and civie morality." y - "During the five years I resided in Queensland," the writer continues, "the women's vote decided the ques- tion as to shop closing and eight hours periday labor, with the result that the people do just as much shopping be- fore 6 p. m. as they do 'in England before ® or 10 p. m., and the people, young and old, are free for healthy amusement and recreation. A further result is a minimum of crime and immorality. "Again, the Australian women re- cently supported a bill which was earried, forbidding betting on the race course and everywhere else, also ex- cluding betting tips from all news- papers. "Before this last measure Sydney and Melbourne were inundated with tipsters and bookmakers, children re- soived a holiday from school on race days, and the Government encouraged betiing through a Government total- igator. The shops of bookmakers are now closed. the newspapers cleansed, and war to the knife is being pur- sted by the women against this evil, intemperance, and all social evils." A Jubilee Joke. Eyerything that year was dubbed "jubilee" from knights and babies to hats and coats, "God Save the Queen" was heard ad nauseam on every con- ceivable occasioh until the tune be- eame an obsession. This led to a prac. tical joke at the castle which caused much amusement. One morning speaking of the jubilee craze, 1 pre- tended that 1 bad received as an ad- vertisement a "Jubilee bustle" which would play "God Save the Queen' when the wearer sat dewn. This, of oourge, ereated much curiosity and laughter. Having promised to put it ou, I took my hosts into my confi- dence. An aidede-camp was pressed into the service, and armed with a small musical box, waz made to hide under a partic arm-chair. While the company was at luncheon, I re. tired 3a don the socalled "Jubilee wonder" and when they were all as- poo ing his cramped Limbs. To the deligh and astonishment of every ope the pational anthem was heard gently finkling forth. Every time I rese nt stopped; every time 1 sat down, it be- gan again, 1 still laugh when I think of it and of the wtonishad faces about me.-- Lady Randolph Churchill, Manslaughter In Second Degree.
