that may result in important political
changes in South Africa. Uunng ine

and United States troops in the Philip
pines has continued and the war is yet on.

have occupied public attention to a great
er or less extent nave Dcen: oiguiug ul
the treaty of peace with Spain; settle-
uent of difficulties in the Bamoan isl
ands; trial, conviction and pardon of Cap
Uin Alfred Dreyfus in France; numer
ous large fires that have destroyed many
lives and much property; tornadoes that
caused disaster and death at Kirksville,
Mo., in April, and at New Richmond,
Wis., in June; several fatal shipwrecks;
deaths of prominent men, among them

NAMES OF TRANSVAAL TOWNS.
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

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

His later years are spent In the midst

in his nature that vein of sentiment
which never desired that Chicago
should be of the material only. Parks,

to him always seemed as much a legiti

- 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.

who was paying her a social visit the

was found .that many of the other

by the fact that the beaux of the place

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.
