of his party in his section of the state.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with its insidious ap
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For 30 years he
waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. ' At last Perana
came to the rescue. He writes:
"1 have used several bottles of Pe
runa and I feel greatly benefitted
thereby from my catarrh of the head.
I feel encouraged to believe that if I
use it a short time longer I will be
ful!y able to eradicate the disease of
thirty years' standing." David Meek

When Alfred Tennyson appeared in
the Oxford Theater to receive his D. C.

A visitor asked the late James Tissot
one day whether the picture he was at
work on was intended to illustrate the
time of Christ The artist replied in
the affirmative. "Then," said the visit
or, "permit me to call your attention to
an error. Aloes, such as you have in
your picture, did not jexlst in the Medi
terranean region till after the conquest
of Mexico by Spain." Tissot promptly
took his brush and altered the picture.
Some Goettingen students who had a
keen admiration for- KJopstock, the
"German Milton," once found one of
his stanzas unintelligible, and begged
him to explain its exact meaning to
them. The poet read the stanza then
carefully re-read It then read it again,
while all looked on with bated breath.
At last he spoke: "I cannot recollect
what I meant when I wrote it, but I do
remember that it was one of the finest
things I ever wrote, and you cannot
do better than devote your lives to the
discovery of its meaning."
So many members of the staff of the
Mafeking Mail were recently, incapaci

obliged to apologize for the paucity of
news in a certain issue. "We are
sorry," they said, "but we could not
help it. One of the staff had rheu
matics and partial paralysis of the
shoulder, another has had a few days'
colic, and yet another could not come
to .work because his child was danger
ously ill. One left without notice and
paid two pounds for an Interview with
the resident magistrate in consequence,
and another seized the opportunity to

It is said that one of the great ene
mies of the overland telegraph line in
Central Australia Is the common green
frog. In order to save the Insulators
from being broken by the lightning'
they are provided with wire "drop
pers" leading round them at a little
distance to conduct on to the iron pole
in case of need. The frogs climb the
poles and find the insulators cool and
pleasant to their bodies, and fancy that
the "dropper"is put there to furnish
them with a back" seat. After a nap
they yawn and stretch out a leg until
it touches the pole result, sudden
death to the frog, and as the body
continues to conduct the current to
earth we have a paragraph In the pa
pers to the effect that "in consequence
of an interruption to the lines proba
bly caused by a cyclonic disturbance
In the interior, we are unable to pres

FROST DISTURBS RAILROADS.
On Nearly All Russian Lines It Is an
Element of Expense,
In a recent issue of the "Oregon fur
die Fortschritte des Sisenbahnwescns'
L. von Lubimoff, chief engineer of the
Trans-Siberian Railway, describes an
interesting phenomenon of frost action
which has been observed on the line of
that railway in Siberia. This phenomi
enon, the distortion of wooden trestle
bridges by the action of frost is close
ly connected with the extensive frost
disturbances of the roadbed in general
which are encountered In both Euro
pean and Asiatic Russia; but while the
latter effect has been known for some
time, the action on bridge structures
has been noted and studied only during
the last few years, says the Engineer
Ing News.
The disturbance of the roadbed by
frost is a very serious matter, states
Mr. von Lubimoff; on 05 per cent of
all Russian railway lines it constitutes
one of the most important problems of
maintenance of way. The disturbance
occurs mainly in low-lying, wet
ground; the soil In such places is gener
ally found to be clay overlying or with
Intervening layers of water-bearing
sand or gravel. The action in prolong
ed cold weather seems to be about as
follows: The earth gradually freezes
downward, and as the molster stratas
are reached the contained water causes
them to freeze In thin sheets or lami
nations. As the frozen layer Increases
in thickness it tends to separate from
the strata below and to form bumps
or hillocks. A succeeding rise of tem
perature produces an open and porous
structure In the frozen layer, and any
water entering from either above or
below fills the Interstices. When the
temperature again falls this water
freezes and by Its expansion further
raises the swellihg.
In time this process produces notice
able roughness of the roadbed, which
may be so extensive as to make traffic
at any considerable speed positively
dangerous. Mere resurfacing is only
a temporary expedient The only effec
tive means to deal with portions of the
railway line that are thus affected has
been found to be (1) to drain the sur
rounding soil thoroughly by deep drain
age ditches, so that the ground water
level In the neighborhood of the road
bed Is lowered well below any possi
bility of frost extending down to It or
(2) to Increase the depth of filling suffi
ciently to protect the natural ground
below it from the action of frost. The
filling must be of open texture and well
drained, so that it will not Itself give
trouble In the same way. Both meth
ods of protection are, where possible,
used simultaneously.
The distortion of bridges is a more
difficult matter to cope with, though,
of course, the aggregate of damage and
Interference with traffic is very much
less. It may be stated that the piles
are in each case driven well down into
the subsoil below frost level, but the
rising of the surface layers, as explain
ed above, lifts the piles up with it by
friction.

CARE FOR YOUR RUGS.
Many of Them Are Spoiled by Fre
quent Beatings.
The manager of a Chicago carpet de
partment, whose knowledge brings him
an annual income of $10,000, advised
the following treatment for valuable
rugs: Lay them wrong side up on tne
grass, beat wltn a rurniture beater, re
verse, and sweep carefully, a soft brush
being the preference, or a good carpet
sweeper. A little airing outside of the
sun's rays is good occasionally, when
they may be carried in the house. The
average American housewife wears out
her rugs by continually sweeping and
beating. The plan of putting them
upon a line every two or three weeks.
or even once a montn, ana tnere cav
ing them whipped, la not to be com
mended if the rugs are of any value.
When a rug is to be thoroughly clean
ed, it should be sent where the work
Is properly done or else washed at
home. A machine is now in use which
loosens the dust and removes It by
means of a strong current of air. This
is effective and not hard on the rug.
When the surface becomes soiled It can
be washed with no fear of Injuring the
colors, since the majority of oriental
rugs are wasnea repeateaiy oerore
reaching this, country and the dyes
used are thereby mellowed and enrich
ed. The best method of washing a
large rug Is to stretch and tack It upon
a clean floor,- then scour rt;well with
soap and suds. After the scouring it
must be thoroughly rinsed, to remove
all trace of the animal matter In the
soap, after which it should not be re
moved until it is perfectly dried.- Then
It will not shrink and will lie perfect
ly flat upon the floor. -A small rug may
be tacked upon the' side of the house
or barn, scoured as If on a floor and
then rinsed .with the hose. Good

Lion a Ply Catcher. ".
The keeper of the carnivore, house at
the Philadelphia zoo led the group of
visitors to the outdoor quarters of the
lions. "Look at that fellow over there,"
he said. "It's interesting to watch
him catching flies."
The lion lay beside a little puddle
that the rain of the night before had
made. He dipped his paw Into the
sticky mud and then extended the
member and lay very quiet The paw
served as a fly trap. Flies lighted on
it and stuck fast; buzz all they would
they could not: get away. And the
lion, says the Philadelphia Becord,
after a dozen or two were collected,
calmly crushed them and prepared his
paw again.
"He does that every day," the keeper
said.

of the device adopted by a prominent
clubman of wealth and position to form
the acquaintance of a lady well known
for her beauty in social and theatrical

lady was lunching in a fashionable res
taurant In the Bois de Boulogne, ac
companied by her equally well-known
poodle. The dog was running about
from table to table, picking up pieces
and collecting morsels from other
diners, and presently, when it returned
to Its mistress, she was astonished to
see written on its back in red chalk:
"Tell your mistress that she is simply
adorable, and I love her exceedingly."
The gentleman signed his name. After
this a formal introduction was no longer
necessary.

Of Lord Soseberry, of England, Whof

! it is probable that there is not a more
! strenuous opponent to that policy to
j be found in British public life.
Rosebery's renewed activity in public
' life and his high station make a study
' of his character Interesting and much
light upon this subject is given by the
London Mail In a recent article.
) Lord Rosebery, says the Mali, Is one
of the wealthiest and quite the most
brilliant of the British aristocracy. He .
is a scholar of erudition, an author of
distinction and the finest orator of his
day. He stands out from amid a
llranlH r.f rmuilAAtHfv In enlltovv onrl
grand distinction.
But, underlying all this scintillating
surface, there is a grim and terrible
pathos in his life the pathos of utter
solitude. Unseen by the crowd of ad-
mirers who worship and envy him in v
his proud supremacy, unrecognized "
even by those who write and speak of -him
as of a well-known friend, there
Is an almost tragic loneliness In his po
1 t
sition not merely In his political sta- -tus,
but in his domestic life. He is
probably at the present moment the
most closely observed of all public men,
the best known to the general run of !
his countrymen. His . circle of ac
quaintances is probably larger than
that of any other person not of royal
rank. His friends are legion. Yet It
would be scarcely overstepping the
truth to say that he has not a single
intimate that there is not a living
creature with whom he can ever en
tirely throw off that reserve that hides
his inner self as a garment. He is,
even in the midst of the applauding
multitude, at a reception, or at his own
dinner table, always alone. It Is only
natural that this loneliness of disposi
tion should beget a love of solitude.
It is not far to seek for the cause of
this pathetic seclusion. Lord Rose
bery's life, with all its glories, with
all its achievements, has been a sad
one. From his earliest days Fortune
squandered her richest gifts on him
with a lavish hand. Born of a mother
as beautiful, as fascinating as she was
intellectually brilliant a former maid
of honor and bridesmaid to Britain's
late sovereign heritor of a proud title
and of great wealth, blessed with men
tal gifts and aptitudes surpassing
those of any man since Disraeli, and
possessed of a sound if not robust con
stitution, the world lay at his feet when
as little more than a boy he fell In love
with the wealthiest heiress of his time
Miss Hannah Rothschild, heiress to
the wealthiest and most powerful
branch of that distinguished family.
His meeting with her was as romantic
as anything ever conceived by any
novelist. His carriage collided with
hers, and by extraordinary agility,
combined with no less extraordinary
presence of mind, he sprang out and
caught her as she fell after having been
thrown upward by the force of the
Imoact. Then he carried her. stunned.
to a neighboring bouse.
He devoted to her all the ardor and
passion of a great nature, and, despite
the most relentless opposition on the
part of her father, he finally succeeded
in winning her. The love that "had
stood the stress .of a trying courtship
lasted unimpaired during the whole of
his married life. His wife was some
thing more than a wife to him. She
was his maker. She threw herself
heart and soul into his work and Into
his sport- It was she that bad made
him a politician; it was she that set
him out on that brilliant career which
she never lived to see him consummate.
The effect on such a man of the trag
ically early death of such a helpmeet
can be understood. It accounts for all
his love of solitude, his preference for
quietly tending his roses at the Dur
dans, or wandering up and down the
terraces at Mentmore, to the gayety of
a social life.
Lord Rosebery Is one of the most
restless men in the United Kingdom.
He is troubled with Insomnia and he Is
constantly traveling from seat to seat
In vain efforts to rid himself of his
enemy. ''
