The old chiefs in South Africa know nothing about trekking, und on several occasions became so impatient that they started off on foot ahead of the wagons. One day they had to walk thirty-seve- n miles before reaching water and then had to wait' two days on scant rations before we came up with them. Ono of these men is 75 years old, but tho tough old Zulu (the Matabele rulers are of Zulu origin) was none the worse for the esca-pade.

When we followed a few hours afterward we saw that their foot-prints in tho sand had been partially ob-literated by tho spoor of a lion. Fort-unately, however, he bad followed them only for some hundred yards, and the.t, probably not being hungry, ho wan-dered off toward a pool of water. Such vagaries were to us a source of constant anxiety, for how could we face the king without bringing back his Our own lives would not have been 6iife.

The brilliant court life of tho later Tu-d-times was a new thing in English history. Iu earlier days it had not been the fashion for the great land owners to forsake their estates afid live at Tower hill or Shoe lane with a following of a hundred or two of gentlemen in livery of white frieze," lined with'crinison taffetas, and to spend two or three times their yearly income in a merry life of dicing, card playing and hunting in Gray's Inn Fields, Islington and Highgato, and in buying dresses fine enough to adorn court pageants and processions where the greatest nobles of the land accepted the honor of bearing the queen's litter. The country noble or gentleman of the time of Edward IV and Henry VII had other business and other ambitions. He was not, indeed, a homo keeping man; he had to bo away at French wars, or fighting on the Scotch border, or leading levies hither and thither to put down a rebellion or to set one going, or to make raid on his neighbor's property. But whether he was a successful soldier or "a good Cotswold shepherd," or a pros-perous lawyer, or a wealthy judge, he remained a true provincial in heart and in Interests. Booty was to bo had in France, even in S'lotUnd; there was none in London. On. the contrary, a journey to the capital heeded the ono thing that nobles and land owners never had ready money in the purse. If o country lord had to attend parliament, a supply of , oats and corn was carried for the horses, "to save the expenses of his purse;" hia wife managed tho big household and es-tates in the country, and from London an army of servants rode backward and forward continually to fetch provisions from fields and ponds and salting tubs at home, so that he need never go to the market or to the baker to buy for money, It wae.in the provinces that the noble kept his true state. If his journey lay through any town all the bells were set ringing "to give notice of the passage oi such eminency," and the burgers stood to watch him pass in his robe of scarlet twelve yards wide, with pendent sleeves down on the ground, nnd tho "furrui therein set" worth perhaps 200 or 300 of our money, while his attendants came after, anxiously holding up with both hands, out of the filth of the mediaeval streets, the wide sleeves that trailed at their sides. The great oak chests of the country houses were piled up with splendid robes; cloth of gold, figured satins, damask and silk and velvets and fine cloths were heaped together with rich furs of marten and beaver. Sir John Fastolf had thirty-fiv-e coverings for his head hoods oi eatin, russet and velvet, straw hats, hats of beaver lined with damask gilt and the like, to suit bis various robes. Chains oi gold of the "old fashion" and the "new," collars of gold covered with "roses and suns," precious stones, women's girdles of cloth of gold harnessed with gold, or with silver gilt worked by famous for-eign makers, made fully as brave a show to the Fifteenth century as in the one that came after. But the real wealth of the nobles lay in their amazing stpres of gold and sil-ver plate. Fastolf had laid up in his treasure tower and in the safe rooms oi monasteries vessels that weighed over 16,000 ounces, besides the plate in hit Sutler's pantry. We road of ewers and goblets and platters of gold; great charg-ers of silver, weighing S00 ounces oi more; a flagon of silver of 851 ounces; others with gold verges and enameled . chains about them; gilt basins, with an-telopes; gilt cups like fountains, with enameled flowers; salt cellars like tow. ers; "basins of 180 ounces, ooveredwith silver of Paris touch and over gilt, -- pounced and embossed with roses, and with great large enamels in the bottom, "with certain beasts embossed standing within a hedge of silver and gilt upon the said enamels;" great gallon pots having the edges gilt and wreathed with poppy leaves; gilded goblets with colum-bine flowers and the like. At the funeral of a lady of Berkeley, early in the Six-teenth century, the plate was brought out to give "a drinking" to the mayor of Bristol and his brethren, "and I thank God," wrote the steward, "no plate not spoons was lost, yet there were twenty dozen spoons." Such was the wealth upon which the spendthrifts of Eliza-lath'- s court "fed and feasted" till ruin overtook them, and on which "Jack of Newbury" and his fellows prospered and laid field to field. Mrs. A. S. Green in The Speaker, An Electrlo PiR. In front of a butcher's shop in St. Paul, a half pig, nicely prepared and of appetizing appearance, was hanging on an iron hook a few days ago. A dog came running up the street, and happen-ing to eee tho little pig, went up to it and longingly snuffed around it. Hardly had ho put bis nose on tho pig when he ufc a cry of pain and ran howling away. A second cur soon appeared and fared no better; he ran away howling as if a gbo3t had laid its hand on him. Gradu-ally as a third and a fourth dog had shared the same fate a crowd gathered and every ono looked with distrust at the porker. Ono of the owners of the shop, who wanted to find out the cause of the trou-ble, at iaBt went up to the pig, touched it, and also flew back as though a taran-tula had stung him; he had received an electrical shock. An investigation proved that an electric light wire had come in contact with the hook on which the meat hung, and thus the pig was completely filled with electricity. Philadelphia Times. An Unlocked for Complication. "He's an awfully smart boy, I dis-charged him from my employ and told him I d never take him back. Then he eloped with my daughter, and now I've gojfto support him until he finds work." The way in which monkeys catch land crabs is described by a sportsman who made an expedi tion to the j unglea around Singapore, and there enjoyed sport which makes the contemporaneous records of Indian experiences pale into insignifi-cance. The monkey lies down flat on its stomach, feigning death. From the countless passages piercing the mud in every direction thousands of little red" and yellow crabs soon make their.ap-pearanc- e, and after suspiciously eying for a few minutes the hrown fur of tho monkey, they slowly and cautiously slida up to him, in great glee at the prospect of a big feed off the bones of Jocko. The latter peeps through his half closed eye-lids, and fixes upon the biggest of the as-sembled multitude. Whan the crab comes within reach, out dashes the monkey's arm, and off he scampers into the jungle with a cry of delight to discuss at leisure his cleverly earned dinner. "Rarely did the monkeys seem to miss their prey," adds the describer of thia scene. "I saw, however, one old fellow do so, and it was ludicrous in the extreruo to see the rage it put him in. Jumping for fully a minute up and down on all fours at the mouth of the hole into which the crab had escaped, ho positively howled with vexation. Then he set ta work poking the mud about with his fin-gers at the entrance to the passage, fruit-lessly trying every now and again to peep into it." Those same monkeys, the so called pig tailed variety, are taught by the Malays to pick fruit for them in tho for-ests. Tho monkeys select tho ripest fruit, and their masters, by following their movements, catch them in a cloth before they reach tho ground. The monkey is too well trained to attempt to eat any fruit while at work, but when sufficient are gathered he is duly rewarded ior his self denial. London Globe. Irving Park.

The man, Amos Murray, has been a pau-per since he was 8 years old. From time to time the support of Murray has been sold at auction; the last time he was bid off by a Mr. Light, who was to clothe and feed him lor $40 per annum, the balance of the expenses of keeping him live and in working condition coming out of his body as a slave. Light sub-let Murray to another person by the name of Prescott. The pauper ran away from his last owner and found his way to Waterville. Ho was a mass of rags, bis feet being incased in pieces of old gunny sacks, and he was hungry, tired and exhausted. Landlord Waile kindly cared for him and, finding him sick, gave him extra attention. Tho man who brought him disappeared, and when ha returned next day his poor unfortuuate was dying. Saturday he died, and his remains were taken away by tho person who bid off his suppert. Kennebeo Journal. Stradlvavlaa. We are always glad to pick up any Items relating to the eminent Stradiva-riu- s and his fiddles. There is a dispute pending in the court of sessions, Edin-burgh, upon the merits of which we would not breathe a syllable, even though we had an opinion to breathe; but, in the course of a prolonged, Inquiry, some in-teresting details have oome out. The plaintiff is a wholesale fish salesman. Music has always been associated with the sea and often with fish. Tho story of Amphiou recurs to every mind. The plaintiff bought a "Stradivariua" seven years ago, which he now repudiates upon tho ground that several inches of the rim are not genuine. In support of his grievance various ex-perts have been called, who enlightened the Edinburgh jury upon things iu gen-eral connected with Stradivariua. They have learned in particular that he was an "oeceutrio genius" who never made fid-dles "one after another r11 alike" this information, wo should think, must have been rather embarrasbing than sustain-ing to the good men in their responsible position. As for the particular instru-ment in question, its belly was made by Stradivariua, and the varnish on the back was imparted by tho same immortal hand. About tho other parts or limbs we aro not informed, excepting "tho left side top," which emphatically "was not that of Strad." Another expert de-nounced the liberties so often taken with this grand name. It must bea very poor specimen aaj badly "doctored ' that sells for less than 460. The population of Edinburgh have already picked up a great deal of miscellaneous information about fiddles in the course of the trial. London Standard-Mode- m physiological, research pro-claims sleep to be the result of a certain amount of blood being abstracted from tho brain, to lie quiescent, if not dor-mant, in certain channels and vessels, which during the waking period are ap-parently empty, or at least very flabby, and in a condition, as it were, of nega-tion. In proof of thia view it is a well known fact that good, healthy, restful sleep rarely if ever takes place when the is fuiljpfblood. Derivation of the Word Magician, Many of the superstitious observances and ideas common among the Greeks and Romans, and some of which sur-vived till later times, were originally de-rived from Egypt and Persia, These countries, with Chaldea and Arabia, ap-pear to have formed a fountain of knowl-- ' dge to mankind, either truthful or con-iste-with nature, or altogether vain nd delusive. At a period fully 2,000 years before Christ Persia and the adja-cent regions of Babylonia and Chaldea were inhabited by a comparatively learned people. Persia in particular was distinguished for its wise men or magi, whose knowledge of geometry, astron-omy and other branches of science be-came the wonder of surrounding na-tions and procured them the reputation of dealing with beings of a supernatural order. Thus from the general appella-tion of rjiagi the term magician took its rise, and was deemed equivalent to that of conjurer, or a possessor of supernat-ural gifts. New York Ledger. |
