Good Judgment.
The most necessary talent in a man of
conversation, which is what we ordina-
rily intend by a fine gentleman, is a good
judgment. He that has this in perfec-
tion is master of his companion without
letting him see it and has the same ad-
vantage over men of any other qualifica-
tions whatsoever as one that can see
would have over a blind man of ten times
his strength.

Among the practical evils coming from
the desire to escape the drudgery of
manual labor is the overcrowding of ths
places where the manual labor is light,
the growth of the military spirit among
men who think it more honorable to fight
than to work and the increase of that
army of incapable’s who find no oppor-
tunity and prefer to be supported by oth-
ers rather than to soil their hands or
harden their muscles by doing the work
which the world offers them to do.
Carlyle was right when he said that all
the happiness that a true man asks is
happiness enough to get his work done.—

Nice Distinctions.
Nice distinctions are troublesome. It is
so much easier to say that a thing is
black than to discriminate the particular
shade of brown, blue or green to which it
really belongs. It is so much easier to
makeup your mind that your neighbor is
good for nothing than to enter into all the
circumstances that would oblige you to
modify that opinion.

No Danger Attends This Sport Ex-
cept From the Animal’s Heels.
A good giraffe skin is worth from $10
to $20 in South Africa and much more in
Europe. Gn their hunting trips’10 or 15
years ago it was a common matter for
one hunter to kill 40 or 50 of these grace-
ful animals in one day. The reason for
this is that the giraffe is the most inno-
cent of animals and easily hunted. They
are absolutely defenseless, and there is
hardly a case on record where a wounded
giraffe turned upon the hunter. It is
true, they have great powers of speed,
and they can dodge rapidly from -tree to
tree in the woods, but they offer such a
fair mark that these tactics hardly ever
save them.
Not until it is unusually frightened
does the giraffe make its best speed, and
then it is often too late, for the hunter
is upon it. There is really no element
of danger connected with this sport,
and that makes it less exciting and at-
tractive to a true sportsman. Under cer-
tain circumstances it is possible to be in-
jured with the powerful legs of the gi-
raffe, which are capable of kicking a
blow that would kill a lion. The latter
beast, for this reason, takes good care to
attack the giraffe at unexpected mo-
ments.
It takes a good horse to run down a gi-
raffe, and if the least advantage is per-
mitted the wild creative the race is lost.
Its peculiar gait is Very ungraceful and
deceptive, but it covers the ground with
remarkable facility. In the open veldt
the hunters have always the best of the
race, but the giraffe, when surprised,
makes instantly f<j»r the forest, where
tough vines .and intermingling branches
make travel difficult for the hunter. The
bushes and thorns tear and lacerate the
skin of the horses, but the tough skin of
the giraffe is barely scratched. The
creature will tear a path through the
toughest and thickest jungle and never
suffer in the least.
This skin,, or hide, of the animal is its
chief article of value. No wonder that
the bullets often faidrito penetrate this
skin, for it is from t^a-ee-quarters to an
inch thick and as twgh as it is thick.
This skin when cured hnd tanned makes
excellent leather for certain purposes.
The Boers make riding whips and san-
dals out of xhe skins they do not send to
Europe. The bones of the giraffe have
also a commercial value. The leg bones
are solid instead of hollow, and in Eu-
rope they are in great demand for man-
ufacturing buttons and other bone arti-
cles. The tendons of the giraffe are so
strong that they will sustain an enor-
mous dead weight, which gives to them
pecuniary value.—Scientific American.

To Heal n Cut.
There is nothing better for a cut than
powdered rosin. Get a few cents’ worth,
pound it until it is quite fine, put in a
cast off spice box with perforated top;
then you can easily sift it on the cut.
Put a soft cloth around the injured mem-
ber and wet with water occasionally. It
will prevent inflammation.
Crowing Hems,
The archbishop of Canterbury, in his
youth, had some experience as a farmer.
Evidently the bishop of London’s educa-
tion in that respect was neglected. In
the account of one of his speeches at the
church congress he is reported as saying:
“There is a certain class of people who
are like hens when they have laid an
egg. They form their opinion with such
difficulty apparently and so seldom that
when they have formed one they go and
crow to all the world to show that they
have done it.”
We would respectfully advise the
bishop of London to draw an illustration
from, crowing hens if he should ever be
addressing a rural audience.—West-
minster Gazette.

The Curse of Leisure.
Leisure, except for needed rest, for
time to plan new work or for an oppor-
tunity to aid others in doing their work,
is not a blessing, but a curse. If nothing
comes of it, if no work is done because
of it or if better work does not follow
on account of it, then leisure has not
been a blessing to him who enjoyed it
and invariably works harm to him or to
GRAIN MARKETS.
There was a marked increase in the re-
ceipts of grain at this port during thq
day, the arrivals being 48 cars of wheat, 57
cars of corn and 1 car of oats, making a
total of 106 cars. A telegram to Wells &
Porch says:
Chicago, Ill., Feb. 21.—Buying and sell-
ing orders in corn about a stand off. Com-
mission houses free buyers. Scalpers
sellers. No. particular feature, yet there
seems to be considerable May for sale at

As outlined in private telegrams printed
in this column, the continued heavy
movement at the United States ports has
had a depressing effect upon foreign mar-
kets, and spots at Liverpool were marked
down l-32d, although the demand was
fair, and resulted in takings to the extent
of 12,0'00 bales, the largest this week, and
of this amount 10,100 were American and
lOOO for the account of exporters and
speculators. The imports aggregated 9000
bales, including 8500 bales from this side.
The tenders were 900 bales on new con-
tracts. Futures opened quiet and easy at
a decline on yesterday of from 3 to 4
points, ruled steady with the partial re-
covery of a point, and closed quiet and
•partially about a point better than the
opening, but from 2 to 3 points cheaper
than the latest quotations of last eve-
ning.
The estimate for the receipts at Hous-
ton tomorrow is between 2000 and 2500
bales, and in this connection Fairchild &
Hobson wire Wells & Porch as follows:
New Orleans, Feb. 21.—There has been
very little cotton for sale all day. Since
the light estimate at Houston the market
is firmer. The-market will improve if re-
ceipts fall off.
The semi-weekly movement at interior
towns as telegraphed this morning gives
the following figures as compared with
last season:

Mid
today, ysday
frightened by the sight of the sea. The
wind was blowing sharp enough to raise
the whitecaps, and the whole sea. look-
ed as if it were lighted from its depths
by a million arc lights, throwing their
white rays upward and under the flying
foam. The liollows of the waves were
dark, but every crest that broke shower-
ed and sparkled as if it were filled with
light. From the sides of the ship great
rolls of broken white light fell away, and
she left a broad pathway of silvery foam
as far back as the eye could reach.
“But about this hour was the most
striking display. Here it was as if the
ship were plowing through the sea of
white light, and as the water was
thrown back from her prow it fell in glit-
tering piles of light upon the dark sur-
face beyond and was driven far down be-
low, lighting the depths as if all the elec-
tricity of the ocean were shooting its
sparkles through the waves and turning
itself into innumerable incandescents
that flashed a second and then shut out
forever. I stood on the forecastle deck
looking down into the brilliant white tur-
moil of the waters until I began to feel
as if we were afloat upon some silver
sea, and a really uncanny feeling took
possession of me. The white ship was
lighted by the phosphorescence of the
waters, so that as high up as the deck
there was a pale, weird white that made
one feel as if the ‘Flying Dutchman’
were abroad upon the seas and had pass-
ed by us. The masts towered in ashy
gray above the decks, and every rope and
line stood out distinctly in the light, but
cast no shadow. It was all as ghostly
as if we had gone up against the real
thing, and it was a positive relief to get
back into the wardroom, where there was
something more human. I don’t know
how long it lasted, but when I went to*
bed at 11 o’clock I could still see the sil-
ver shining through the air port in my
stateroom.”—Washington Star.

No Use For a Study.
There is a good deal of point in a little
story that I read in French the other day
—a point that pricks American men of
the class who have their own houses, as
well as Frenchmen. A man is getting
himself up a new house, and he and his
wife are considering plans. One of these
plans is favored by the wife.
“Well, I should like this plan very
well,” says the husband, “but I don’t
quite see where I am going to get myself
in a study.”
“A study!” exclaimed the wife. “What
do you want of a study? You don’t
smoke!”—Boston Transcript.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 21.—In the sen-
ate Mr. Penrose of Pennsylvania gave no-
tice that on Washington’s birthday, im-
mediately after the reading of Washing-
ton’s farewell address by Senator Fora-
ker, he would call up the senate resolu-
tion providing that “Hon. Matthew S.
Quay is not entitled to take his seat in
this body as a senator from the state of

Wasted Economy
“A little over four years ago,” said
Smithson, “I made up my mind that I
was smoking too much. It didn’t seern
to affect my health in the least, but I
thought it was -a foolish waste of money,
and I decided to give it up.”
“A very sensible idea,
marked Brownlow.
“So I thought at the time. I figured
out, as closely as I could, how much I
had been spending each day for cigars
and tobacco. That sum I set aside each
day and started a bank account with
it. I wanted to be able to. show just ex-
actly how much I had saved by not
smoking.”
“And how

“At the end of 12 months I found that
I had £55 in the bank.”
“Good! Could you lend me”—
• “And a few days later,” interrupted
Smithson—“last Thursday, in fact—the
bank failed. You haven’t got a cigar
about your clothes, have you?”—London

Played
Force Under Col. Plumer.
London, Feb. 21.—Further details of the
attack made by Col. Plumer’s force on the
Boers’ position defended by 12-pounders,
near Crocodile Pool, not far from Gabe-
rones, show that as the British
struggling up the hill in the dark through
a net of barbed wire they alarmed the
Boer watch dogs, which gave the alarm.
The Boers opened fire and the British
charged, but the Boers exploded dyna-
mite mines, doing much damage, and the
British retreated.
