Explanation of the 81njjrular Nomencla ture of Places in Boerland. , Many of the towns of south Africa which figure prominently In the dis patches are. named after persons who have had leading parts In the political and social life of the country. Durban, for Instance, bears the name of Sir Ben jamin Durban, who was governor of Cape Colony in 1834. Grahamstown and Harrismith are named respectively after Colonels Graham and Sir Harry Smith, while Kimberley bears the name of 'the earl of Kimberley, who was colonel secretary from 1870 to 1874. Caleuon, Beaufort, Somerset and Cra dock Are named after former governors the earl of Caledon, Lord Charles Somerset and Sir John Cradock (Lord Howden). The towns of Ladysmlth, Port Elizabeth and Lady Gray are call ed after the wives of Cape governors. Pretoria Is named In honor of the first president of the South African Repub lic Marthlnns Wessel Pretorius. The origin of Krugersdorp Is evident, while Johannesburg also is named from Ooiu PauL one of whose names Is Johannes. The practice of naming towns lh honor of distinguished men Is followed by boers even in time of war, as witness the renaming of Dundee Meyersdorp. Why Fishes Arj Slippery. Fish of almost every sort are, when fresh caught,' slippery and hard to hold. This ' slipperiness Is due to a sort of mucus exuded through the scale, and is. of the ' greatest importance to all slimy creatures. One of the Important functions of the fish's slimy coating is to protect it from jthe attacks of fungus, a form of plant life found In all waters, salt and fresh. foul and pure. If the fish is so Injured .that some spot becomes uncovered by it h clime, a barely visible fungus will, ibe likely to lodge there, and when It Is once-lodged the process of reproduction lis very -apid. It soon extends over the igills andiaiSietfisli. i , '. Thj fifl4iPy JftutrJose of the slime of Jthe fish is to reduce its friction when In motion through the water and increase flacapesil.'iijt fJisseejrfj;-eB6htonto the scales, which It thus protects from jmany injuries. uj. - " v vyv .

'TT'' r. POTTER PALMER, OF CHICAGO. He Is Much More than tne Husband of a Famous Woman. The newspaper reading world knows much about Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chicago. She sprang before the public eye as the president of the Woman's Board of Managers of the World's Fair. More recently, her successful manage ment of the love affairs of Count Can tacuzene and Miss Julia Grant. hr niece, has kept alive the public Interest in this rorceful and attractive woman. Like Mary Ellen Lease, she ecllnsed her husband, of whom little ever ap pears in print And yet Potter Palmer is a great Dusiness man, one of the real makers of Chicago and a power in the financial world one of those silent forces, which contribute so much to tne wona s progress. rotter Palmer was a young man when he located in Chicago fifty years ago. He invested a few thousand dol lars in a dry goods store and soon had tne cream or the city trade. His sur plus cash went into real estate nnd the soil was fertile. He was a wealthy man when, at the close of the war, he toon into partnership with him Mar shall Field and Levi Lelter. State street, now Chicago's leading . thor oughfare, was then a narrow, dirty lane. Lake street was the commercial center. Potter Palmer proposed to make State street the commercial cen ter. Men ridiculed him, but he went over to the despised street, bought a mue or frontage and commenced build ing commercial palaces. His firm oc cupied the first and other firms auick- ly took others. When the fire of 1871 came, Potter Palmer owned thirty-two buildings on State street " All were de stroyed. He borrowed $3,000,000 and rebuilt them, better and stronger than before.- Then he looked about for a SDOt where he mltrlit hnilrl n What is now the magnificent boulevard Known as the North Shore drive was then a hear of sand. Here he hnllt nnrl sold adjoining property to the best class of people. The boulevard Is the result . Then he built thi 'Palmer House.- Chicago's finest hostplnr In hlo day, which it Is now said he will tear POTTER PALMER. down In the near future and erect in Its stead a commercial palace. These are a few of the things he has done for Chicago. He has never de sired political honors, never . sought them. He might have won honors in this field, but they were not to his lik ing. He has preferred to be the simple business gentleman, eager for the wel fare of his city; building always for the public weal as well as his own good. His later years are spent In the midst of artistic surroundings of his . ex quisite home. There has always been in his nature that vein of sentiment which never desired that Chicago should be of the material only. Parks, boulevards, art treasures, music have to him always seemed as much a legiti mate -part of the being of the city as mercantile establishments and steam roads. He has enriched ; Chicago . In this direction also. A GREAT BOER LEADER. Gen. Cronje, "Who Opposed tbe British at Modder River, . While Gen. Joubert, commander-in- chief of the Boer forces, Is the tactician. Gen. Cronje, who commanded the Boers at the Modder River, Is the burly fighter of the Transvaal army. Of the two Cronje Is the more representative Boer. Joubert, possibly from his French an cestry, Is a-man of a certain polish, and can be indirect when policy re quires. Cronje is blunt and always to the point. His craft Is that of the hunt- GEN. CROXJK. er, and thinly disguises the force that awaits only the opportunity. Gen. ' Cronje Is greatly' admired by the Boers. They think Joubert" Is a wonderful tactician and organizer, but they love 'Cronje, the silent man, of sud den and violent action. He is no man's friend. . His steel-gray eyes peer out from under huge, bushy brows. He never, speaks' .unless necessary, ' and then in the fewest words.; He never asks a favor.' When time for action icOmes he acts, and that with the force 'of fate, and with no consideration for himself or his men. - Cronje Is a soldier and nothing else. He. hates,., form. He "hates politics, thouirh'la born leader of men. He was strongly 'urged to oppose Kruger for the Presidency -in 1898, but he would not. He will have none of any rule but that of the rifle-D.He despises cities. He is a int;Jhe;velt It,was Cronje who rounded up the Jameson "raiders and, says a writer. his' maneuvering on that occasion was that of a Cromwell.

Some that Influence Mostly All Sorts of People. . oumuei jonnson would never enter a room left foot foremost: the brave Marshal Saxe screamed In terror at the sight of a cat; Peter the Great was not equal -: to crossing a bridge when he came to it unless to do so was absolutely necessary; Byron shared with less famous peop!e than he. the aisiike to having the salt at table spill ed between him and his neighbor.

Many people will avoid going under a ladder If they can get around it The belief that if you put on your stocking the wrong side out It is lucky is very general, or was until the schoolmaster returned from abroad; and I myself remember an old woman who was con vinced that turning ber stocking inside out saved her from being lost when the fairies, one p:tch-dark night had mis led her on a trackless English moor.

"Great Scott! but that's a fine watch," came from a chorus. "Where'd you ever get it?" "Stole it" answered its possessor, calmly, "You don't believe me, do you?" he went on. "Well, I'll tell you how It happened. - I was on a western district which enjoyed the reputation of being the toughest one covered by the house. I had some time to kill and so went into one of the gambling joints. It isn't necessary to go into details as to what happened. As luck would have it there were a half dozen others in the place besides myself who might be con sidered as possible victims. When the time came the lights were put out sud denly and then we had 'rough house' for about ten' minutes. In the mdidle of it I felt somebody grab my watch and reached out after him. I caught someone and felt that he was just put ting a watch in his trousers pocket I gave his wrist a hard wrench and got the timepiece. ' Then I broke away. When I got to the light I found the watch was this one. And as I never heard from the owner I have it to compensate for the loss of mine." After which the waiter hurried over In response to six different signals. Philadelphia Inquirer. - - Inflaenza Caused by Ozone. On one occasion jthe present writer walked to the edge of Lake Michigan when a strong wind -was blowing right from the lake. -. The ; bodily condition was as near perfect as could be, and yet in less than five minutes there was every evidence of having caught an ex tremely hard cold. The severe influenza continued until, on walking away, in less than 500 feet, it disappeared as If by magic.' It is very certain that the temperature had -nothing to do with this, nor the wind, but the influenza was directly due to the abundant ozone in the air. By inquiry it was learned that , hundreds of residents who had lived upon the immediate edge of the lake had been obliged to move back three or four miles in order to relieve themselves from such experiences. Physicians readily admit that it is not always possible to say why one "catch es" cold; it certainly cannot always be because of undue exposure or change In temperature, but probably also to changes in the electric condition of the air. Facts of this kind shouia leaa to the extremest caution in studying any supposed relation between the weather and health. Popular Science. . Society for 8ock-I .rninR.. In a neighboring Long Island village the young men have a new . privilege. On paying ten cents a week they can have their socks darned, by the belles of the village, who -have organized themselves Into the "Giddy Girls' Darn ing Club." One of the young ladles no ticed a hole in the hose of a young man who was paying her a social visit the other night and, on comparing notes, was found .that many of the other girls of the village had been impressed by the fact that the beaux of the place needed help in keeping their socks in order. - The young man .who was ad mitted to the privileges of the club must not be In . the habit of smoking, drinking, playing cards, or doing any thing real naughty. . All he has to do then is to pay ten cents a week and wear his socks Into as many holes as pleases him. NeW York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch. " ' Advice to a Daughter If you want to please the men.

THE FILIPINO GIRL. tier Habit of Smoking Ts One Whlcl Shocks Americans. A Filipino girl whose parents make any pretensions to wealth or social am bition will not walk a half dozen blocks unless escorted by some relative, even in broad daylight but she will sit on a balcony In full view of the street and puff contentedly at a long cheroot per fectly conscious that she is within the bounds of strict pro priety according to native standards. This habit of smoking b y I. girls and women . Is one which Americans in Manila find very bard to become ac- A Filipino tvpk. customed to. We have beard that some -women pf our own race, members of a class of so ciety more noted for its money than for Its good morals, sometimes smoke a cigarette or a small cigar, and. If lie exhibition of their daring, and It is generally believed that their numbers are few. The Filipino woman who does not smoke, however, is a rare excep tion. A writer in the Outlook says of them: "They are always glad to accept a cigarettes or a small cigar, and, if you are not prompt in offering one, in all probability will produce one from their own supply and ask your permis sion to light it This habit quickly ceases to attract your notice except under unusual circumstances." . EMPHASIZED HIS LAST WILL. How an Old Steamboat Captain Tried to Prevent a Contest. , "I am free to admit this story soundc a trifle fishy," said a New Orleans lawyer,1 chatting over an after-diuner cigar, ; "but 1 happen to know It is absolutely true. Last summer a local business man, whom it Isn't necessary, to name, made a new will of tatUer an elaborate and peculiar character. 1 am bound to say to you,', remarked his at torney, when the document was com pleted, 'that 1 think it more than likely your children will make a contest it this will is ever probated.' Tin going to have a talk with them on that very subject' retorted his clent- 3fes, re-: plied the attorney, 'but when your volet is stilled forever they may tLiuk dif ferently about it' "That remark set the old man to pondering, and he' finally hit on a very picturesque expedient He had a phon ograph at his office, and, putting on . a fresh cylinder, he roared his last in junctions into the receiver. In his most impressive style. Then he carefully removed the record, swathed It in cot ton wool, and filed it away with tbe wilt Next day he sent for tbe lawyer and gave bini specific directions what to do after tbe demise. '1 want you to call the family together,' be said, 'and read tbe will carefully from beginning to end. As soon as you get throng-'a and before they have time to talk about it start the phonograph going and let 'em hear my last message. Be sure to have a good, big horn on tbe machine and see that everything Is in first-class working order.- You had better keep the thing in your office,' he continued, 'and any t.me a contest is mentioned just turn It loose.' - The old gentleman was a steamboat captain in his early days and be has a way of giving an order that makes one jump to here it I am inclined to be lieve that his scheme is a good one, and that his parting adjuration, coming as it were from the grave, will have a highly discouraging effect on litiga tion." New Orleans Times-Democrat Obelisk; Must Be It: moved. Twenty "years ago an obelisk was placed in Central Park, New York. It is a relic of Thotmes 1IL and Barne ses II., and in Its native Egypt had been preserved 3,000 years. During the score of years in New York it bas suffered more disintegration than dur ing the 3,000 years previous, and at present the world deplores the fact that it Is rapidly crumbling to atoms. There Is not a building In the great metropolis that offers sufficient accom modations to the gift of the Khedive of Egypt to America. A glass case built over it would not preserve it, but late ly it has been suggested . that it be placed In the east wing of the Metro politan Museum of Art, now in process of construction. This Is the only so lution of the problem as to how this wonderful relic may be preserved to posterity. William H. Vanderbilt spent $100,000 in getting this granite block to the new world. At the present time New York Is greatly bestirring herself in the Interest of the perpetuation of this great gift. - Worie than a St a Lawyer. - Sea time as most . people know, in stead of being reckoned by hours, " Is divided into "Watches" or four hours each.

In a recent admiralty case the counsel asked an old sailor at what time of day a certain collision occurred, and receiv ed the reply, "About the middle of the first, dog watch." , In summing up the case, the newly admitted admiralty proctor enlarged upon the information thus Imparted as follows: "You can Imagine, gentleman or tne jury, tne care wnicn exisieu ou this occasion, when, as appears from one of the plaintiff's own witnesses, this valuable ship -and her cargo, and the lives of passengers and crew, were intrusted to what gentleman? why. to the mere watch of a dog!"

When the boy had gone the traveler said to the father: "You didn't tell him to get any thing in the other jug; is he going to leave it at the grocery?" 1 "No, sah gwan to bring it right back home" he replied. "But why send two jugs to get a quart of treacle?" "It '8 jes dis way sah. If he has a jug in each hand he can't go dipping his finger in the treaole and eating it as he comes along."
