H. Rider Haggard, tho novelist who
wrote “ She” in six weeks and was re­
warded by worldwide fame and a com fort­
able fortune, has found more terrors con­
nected with the lion hunters of London
than tho lion hunting of tho dark conti­
nent, and has permanently abandoned his
tow n hotiso in London for his country seat
In Norfolk, where he can, uhdisturhed, de-
voto himself to agriculture, stock raising,
good shooting and profitable novel writ­
ing. Mr. Haggard is now a country squire,
a gentleman farmer and an enthusiastic
sportsman, and his talk savors more of
farming and livo stock than it does of Ac­
tion and literature.

D e d u ce d
| Tennyson during a visit to Farringford
some four or five years ago. They were sit­
ting under the shadow of home great mag­
nolias that cover one side of the house, and
the conversation turned upon the super-
| natural and the possibility of communica-
' tions from the other world.
Tennyson then told of a dissenting min­
ister in one of the New England states
noted for his powers as a preacher, who
one Sunday morning, instead of reading a
text and giving a discourse in the usual
way, suddenly in a most dramatic manner
began to recite "The Charge of the Light
Brigade.”
The congregation listened
breathlessly to the end, but before the
service had concluded elders and people
were loud in their anger at the way ki
which tho chapel had been profaned. Their
murmurs found the minister wholly un­
prepared.
He had gone into the pulpit intending to
speak about the need for charity and was
wholly unconscious of what he had done.
Convinced at length by testimony which
he could not withstand, he was filled with
remorse, went sadly to his room that night,
and watched through all the hours till
morning, seeking consolation and not find­
ing any. A t daybreak they brought him
word that a man looking like a tramp
wanted to see him urgently.
The minister, half from habit, decided to
see him. The stranger came straight into
the room and simply said, "I come to thank
the man who has saved my soul.” The
minister stood in silence, wondering wheth­
er this was some new mockery of his senses.
I The stranger went on: “ I was all through
the Crimea, and I was in the thick of the
fight at Gettysburg, but never till I heard
! you recite that poem in the chapel yester­
day did I know what I had to thank God
for. Sir, from that hour I determined to
change my life, and I want to thank the
man to whom I owe my salvation.”

| various causes. Some say that it is due to
! progressive improvement in the human
race. Others attribute it to an increase of

! Still others contend that the cause of fewer
i death» among children is to be found in no
longer permitting them to eat unsuitable
food and to wear unsuitable clothing.
Few infer from the present rate of mor­
tality that the marriages of parent» have
been made at more proper ages. Yet in­
vestigation by scientific men has proved
that if hereditary diseases be excepted
there is nothing so dangerous to the life of
a child os the marriage of its father and
mother at certain ages.
It is only recently that any inquiry Into
this subject ha» been undertaken. Hut the
results which have thus far been obtained
are such as to show that men and women
must marry at particular stages of their
lives if their offspring is to be mentally
and physically sound.
It is to Herr Korosi, the head of the sta­
tistical department at Buda-Pesth and al­
ready well known for the importance and
accuracy of the conclusions he has arrived
at from statistical inquiries in other field»,
that we are indebted for the discovery of

of the human race. The result» which heob-

years ago of the relations existing between
¡ the mortality of children and the various
ages at which their parents were married
were so striking that they induced him to
make a more exhaustive investigation.

A p p a l l i n g D e p t h s o f Spa ce.
In his lecture to juveniles at the Royal
institution in London, Sir Robert Ball said
that a telegraphic message would go seven
times around the earth in a second, and if
a telegraphic message could be sent to the
moon it would reach its destination in a lit­
tle more than asecond. It would take some­
thing like eight minutes to arrive at the
sun, but how long did they think it would
take to get to Alpha Centauri, traveling
thither at 180,000 miles a second? Seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, would
not be long enough. It would not take less
than three years, traveling all the time at
that tremendous pace, before it would reach
its destination.
If that w as the case with respect to the
nearest of the star», what must be said of
those which were farther off? There were
stars so remote that if the news of the vic­
tory of Wellington at Waterloo had been
flashed to them in 1815 on that celestial tel­
egraph system it would not have reached
them yet, even if the message had sped at
1 the pace which he had indicated and had
been traveling all the time.
Nay, more, if the glad tidings of that first
Christmas in Bethlehem 19 centuries ago
hod been disseminated through the uni­
verse, there were yet stars o f which astron­
omers could tell them pluuged into space
in depths so appalling that even the years
that have elapsed since that event would
not have been long enough for the news to
reach them, though it traveled at a speed
of 180,000 miles in every second.- '

America Leads the Nations in

Among the wonders of the World's Columbian Fair the
grandest was the exhibit of American products.
The Ex­
hibition was, in this respect, an object lesson of the grandeur
and glory of the Republic.
Among the exhibits from the
United States no article of its class stood so high as
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder.
The Chief Chemist of the Agricultural Department at
Washington, backed by an intelligent jury at the Exposition,
found it strongest in leavening power, peerless in its purity
and beyond comparison in uniform excellence.

At the World’s Fair.
The award is a matter of official record.
Nothing could settle so decisively the im m easurable

“ If you ever get in a corner and seem to
have nothing available in the house for
luncheon, just investigate the resources of
the cracker box,” said a careful house­
keeper. “ I remember one day we bad a
guest come in just before luncheon was
served. It was a sort of off day, and w#
had a spread made u^ of odds and ends.
The visitor was one whom I knew to be
somewhat dainty in her tastes, and as there
was no time to send to market for any­
thing I just didn’t know what to do. Un­
fortunately the breatl wasn’t fresh, which
was a great misfortune, for it always seem*
to me that with good bread and butter one
can make out a sort of a meal; but here we
were, when it all at once occurred to me
that we might get up a creditable dish out
of crackers, of which, as good luck would
have it, there was an abundance.
“ So I buttered a few dozen crackers and
set them in the oven, there to stay until
they were a light brown. A part of these
were placed in a dish on the back of th*
stove, and with the remainder I madesomt
cracker sandwiches out of some bits o#
roast fowl which was ready sliced in the
pantry. The meat was mixed with a little
mayonnaise and placed between tw o of the
buttered crackers. A jar of canned fruit
was opened, and with some olives and *
bit of cheese rounded out a very relishabl*
luncheon, and my guest quite enthused
over the new fashioned sandwiches.” —New

An Amsterdam banker ènee requested *
professor of mathematics to work out a
very intricate and puzzling problem for
him. The professor, thinking the matter
good exercise for the intellectual faculties

One of the students, who had pondered
deeply over the int ricate subject during the
day, retire«! to bed. .Some time afterword
he arose, dressed, and seating himself at
his desk worked out the problem accu­
