Gordon Cummin" began his hunt- ( ini; in 1843 in the northern part of Cape Colony. At that time the game still swarmed over the parched karroo plains. (^(uagga, wildebeest, hartbeesi and springbok fell in numbers to his rifle. In the deserts south of the- Orange river—now sheep and goat walks in the Hope Town division of the Colony—he enjoyed magnificent sport with the gemsbok (Oryx eapensis), which then abound ed there. In those days the “trekbokken,” or migration of springboks, was common in the north of Cape Colony. Gordon Cumming witgessed one Of these migrations. “1 beheld the plains,” he tells us, ‘‘and even the hillsides which stretched away on every side of me, thickly covered, not with herds, but with one vast mass' of springboks. As far as the eye could strain the landscape was alive with them until they softened down into a dim red mass of living creatures. ” This “trcKbokkon” Camming esti- j mated at some hundreds of thou-; sands. On speaking to an old Boer ■ about it ho remarked that “it was a.i very fair ‘trekhokken,’ but,” he add-1 ed, “you this morning beheld only one flat covered with springboks. ij give you my word that I have ridden* a long day’s journey over ajjSucces-1 sion of flats covered with them as j far as I eotild see and as thick as; sheep in a fold.” . I have jmyself; heard much the same account from old farmers, English and Dutch, of ' the Cape Colony.—Fortnightly Review. , •

Dow to Study German. The study of German js by no means so simple a matter as the words might imply, writes Professor A. S. Isaacs of ;i'he University of New York, giving some valuable advice { under the title “When* Studying German” in The Ladies’ Home Journal. It may signify a mere reading knowledge of the language or the most thorough acquaintance with its literature and ability to speak it with absolute fluency and idiomatic accuracy. Naturally the methods of study will vary according to the purpose in view and the age and acquirements of the student.” There is ;iio royal road to the study of German! or any language, however glowing are the 1 (redactions of some teachers, and anticipations of credulous pupils. Success in language study depends upon’ the student’s ambition, industry and ability. It is less a question of teacher br textbook, although these are not to be despised. Bu t. as in everything in life, success must be earned in language study by earnest, well directed and systematic individual effort Ih's Not » Cannibal.

RAILROAO NOMENCLATURE. Ik* Title Dew Ket Always Show When the Road Bc{!iu end KmU. It might be supposed that railroads which bear usually geographical names would show by their titles what points they connect, but there are many exceptions in this respect, and some of them are surprising. The St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, for instance, might bo supposed to run from St Louis to San Francisco. Actually it runs 327 miles west of St Louis. The Minneapolis and St Louis railroad would appear to run from Minneapolis to St Louis. It actually runs from Minneapolis to Angus, la., about half way to St. Louis. The Omaha and St. Louis railroad does not run from Omaha to St Louis, but from Omaha to Pattonsburg, Mo. St Louis is 267 miles farther east. The Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City railroad, or Clover Leaf, as it is more generally called,! runs from Toledo to St. Louis, which is the western terminus of the road Kansas City is 325 miles away. The Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad does not ifun from Peoria to Toledo, but from the Indiana, state line to; Warsaw, Ills. 4 The New York, Chicago and St Louis railroad, or Nickel Plate, as it is hniversally called, does not run from New York to Chicago and St. Louis. It runs from Buffalo to Chicago, and a passenger on it coming east and landing at Buffalo would be over 400 miles from New York, whilo a passenger upon it going west and j landing at Chicago would be 3001 miles from St. Louis. The Philadel- j phia and Erie railroad runs from j Sunbury, Pa., to Erie. ThePermsyi-! vania, Poughkeepsie and Boston rail- j road is 96 miles long, from Slating-1 ton. Pa., to Campbell Hall, on the ’Ontario and Western. The Fort' Worth and Denver City railroad is j wholly in Texas, does not touch Den-! ver city and does not run into Colorado. 7 These peculiarities in railroad nomenclature are supplemented by another. A*H the coal carrying roads running latitudinally Jp the eastern states have its part of%faeir title the words “and Western.” Here are some of them: Delaware, Lackawanna and Western; the New York, Lake Erie and Western; the New York, Ontario and Western; the Lake Erie and Western; the "Norfolk and Western;the New York, Susquehanna and Western; the-Pittsburg and \\ fstern. The quantity o f coal transported hv these railroads collectively amounts to more than 50,000,000 tons a year.—New York Sun.

Cettins Tools. A writer in The Engixxeoring Magazine calls attention to the fact that cutting tools on metals do not .always wear to the extent that is.commonly supposed. Ordinarily they are burned by too great a speed, this bum being accounted for as follows: When two pieces of similar metal are moved, the one upon the other, while held together with considerable pressure and without a lubricant, they soon will weld together at the point undergoing the greatest strain and friction. Thus, an iron shaft in an iron box becomes cut or galled, and, similarly, the point of the steel tool when cutting iron is often taken away after doing but little work, Dissimilar metal% however, do not burn each other to so great an extent. When an iron shaft is contained in a box of bronze, one metal being no harder than the other, they seldom or never unite, and therefore, a steel tool can cut brass or hard bronze at very high speeds. In planing cast steel, it is thought questionable whether a speed above 12 feet per minute is safe, though in the case of cast iron, where graphite is present in the iron, it lubricates the tool, and sometimes it is safe to cut 20 feet each minute through the material. Wbat He Would Do. ' ‘‘James, ’’ exclaimed Mrs. McNagg to her patient and long suffering husband the other night just as he was J dropping off into his first doze, “I j dm certain that I heard something 1 moving down stairs, and I’m sure ; it’s burglars. Get up at once, James, j and see what it is, and, oh, dear, it j vou find any burglars what will you do?” “Do?” repeated her husband, with great calmness as he got up and prepared to explore the regions down stairs, “I will do whatever they want me to do, of course. I have ] never had my own way once in this house yet, and it’s too late to begin j now. ”—London Tit-Bits. s

THACKERAY’S SUBSTITUTE. Virjptnluna.’ Many American readers of Tlmckeray liave wondered how he was able to write so graphic and current the banks of the Potomac, as Thackeray had never seen the magnificent valley through which his gallant hero fled after his daring escape. It; will be a surprise to many people to, hear that Thackeray didn’t write the chapter at all, but that the well known author, John P. Kennedy, did. This is the story as Colonel John H. B. Latrobe used to tell it : Kennedy was at a dinner in London, with Thackeray, Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins and other celebrities. The dinner was over and the guests were settling down to the wine and cigars when Thackeray, always at his best upon a jovial occasion like the present, who was entertaining the company with his wit and satire, suddenly stopped, ami looking at his watch exclaimed: “Gentlemen, I must leave you. 1 have promised the printer a chapter of the *‘Virginians’ tomorrow morning, and I haven’t written a line of it yet* I hate to go, but I must. The printer is inexorable. So, wishing you all another meeting when-1 can he longer with yon, I bid you a good evening.” Thackeray had almost- reached the door when Kennedy called him back and said: “Perhaps I can write the chapter for you. What are you going to describe?” , The great novelist seemed a little astonished at this bold proposition, hut as he was a perfec| man of the world he was too polittf to say what he thought. - “Kennedy, you are extremely kind, and gladly would I let you write the chapter for me, for I bate to leave a jolly party in the midst oi the fun.” “Then don’t,” all the company cried. “Stay with us and let Mr. Kennedy write the proposed chapter.’ “I am half a mind to let you do it just for the fun of the thing. It is a, chapter chiefly of description, giving an account of George Warrington’s escape from Fort Dnquesne and his journey to the Potomac. ” “If that's what you are writing about, I can do it, for I know every foot of the ground. ” “All right, then,” said Thackeray, resuming his seat at the board. “Let me have it early tomorrow morning.” Mr. Kennedy withdrew, and going to his hotel wrote the fourth chapter of the second volume of "The Virginians,” and thus it happened that George” Warrington’s narrative of his flight was so accurate as to the topography of the country through which,ho passed.- -Baltimore News. an account of George V5 escape from Fort Duque journey through the wi

General Ban! * In Church. General Banks was as perfect- a gentleman in im nner; as we ever knew, says The Christian Advocate, and his dignity and his grace as a speaker wore hot: ! commanding and fascinating. His .’oice was wonderful. In New Yor : during the war he happened to s: end a Sunday and went to Grace church, on Broadway, wearing a huge White coat, as the day was somewha: chil y. The14 unctuous Brown, the usher of fashionable society, lopg :he sexton of that church, with a ke n eye for dignity, missed the mark on that occasion and seated the gen eral near the door in a very unpleasant, position. As the house grew warm General Banks threw open his coat. The moiment Brown caught sight of the epaulets of a maj or general he hastened to the pew and in his most obsequious tones said: “I can give you, general, a much better scat. ” “No,” said the ex-speaker, with a voice that sounded like a pedal organ note in E flat. “The seat that is good enough for the white coat is good enough for the bine,” and declined to change.

* j It* Origin. The quotation beginning, “Iexjiect to pass through this world but once,” has been inquired for many times and gonght diligently.

If a good deed I may do To any suffering fellow man, , Let me do it while I can. Nor delay it, for ’tis plain I shall not pass this way again And son&body else writes-that he has discovered that the quotation, almost exactly as used by Professor Drummond, is from the epitaph on, the tomb of Edward Courtney, earl of Devon.—iBook Buyer.
