Her Tribesmen Say Her, Age Is Three Hundred Years. Is it Mr, Rider Haggard's "She" who las just fallep into the hands of the Boers? The Lydeuburg correspondent of South Africa sends to that paper an interesting account of the capture of the "Queen Majajie, or. Great She, "who -seems to have had a wonderful, history. "A peculiar fact is that her oto tribe have never seen her. Only her indunas were allowed to see her. They •Cumber 92. The commander in chief is Jonas, an aged man. The rest are virtually young men.

The queen is of great age, fully 110, it is supposed, although her tribesmen say 800. "She is of a light copper color, with a frizzy sort of wool on her head and wears a sort of hood of tiger skin. Only her neck and face are bare. All her body is cdverod with royal tiger skins. The general would not allow the burghers to interfere with the wooden images, charms, eta A missionary, the Rev. Mr. Rniter, who has lived 18 years near Majajie's and only seen her when captured, asked her why she had not allowed him to call on her. She politely replied, 'That is my business.'

"She had her great medicine tree in a forest, and all sorts of signs and symbols existed there, sacred to the Kaffir mind, and in a kraal near the tree were 140 fine fat slaughter oxen inclosed.

pian scheme whereby investing money in cigars becomes like puttng it in a savings bank. Mr. Fay proposes to organize a club of 500 men, who are to .•daily invest 50 cents in cigars. This means $250 per day, and it is argued that if this number of smokers can be induced to work on a united plan of action the profits at the end of a year would be something like $40,000. This

sum well invested would yield a revenue whioh, with subsequent yearly profits, would soon prove a highly profitablo investment. Aided by the reverie in their handbags just for this purpose, producing azure haze of a good oigar, the sanguine believers in the plan can see not many years off a magnificent skyscraper of an office building owned by the members of the "Smokers' Investment company."

There is one strong point in favor of

the scheme, and that is the fact that jn

A11 Asbury Park Pastor Thinks It "Will Come Right After the Chinese War.

The Rev. Howard Widdemer. the pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Asbury Park, N. J., has expressed a belief that the world will come to an end in about ten years." Mr. Widdemer was teaching a class of boys in the Sunday school, £ujd one of the'boys made aremark about getting married. "You should not begin so early to think of marriage," said Mr. Widdemer. "When you are 35 years of age, you will be just abont old enough. "But I may be dead by that time," said the boy. "Yes, I think you will be dead," was Mr. Widdemer's unexpected reply.

When asked to explain, the minister said he thought all persons would be dead before the boy reaches the age of 35.

Where Is the Peachblow Vase?

It turns out that the Peaohblow vase is not in the art collection of the late Mr. Walters of Baltimore, in whose possession it had been supposed to be. This famous little jug, which was intrinsically worth about 2 cents, and which was sold at auction at the Morgan sale eight years ago for $18,000, has disappeared from view as completely as if it had been buried in the earth. It looks very much as if the purchaser, whoever he was, was not proud of his judgment or of his investment—Boston Herald.

The Fit of Gowns In the Back. "The first thing I say to a woman," says an authority on physical culture and its attendant ethics, "when site comes to me for advice and suggestion, is, 'Turn your back to me.'

Melodnauiatio and Farcical Elemtnti oi 'ffclie Approaching Climax,

A criuiB in the pnblio affairs of France seldom fails to present dramatic aud picturosquo features whioh make French politics of greater spectacular interest to nllon onlookers than the politics of any other oountry. The rapidly approaching climax in the fate of the present government at Paris is by no meana lacking in the mixtnre of the melodramatic and farcical elements. The weapons being employed in what has now become a despa^ate struggle are quite unknown to ordinary political warfare. Take, for instance, the government campaign against the press, for that apparently is the real significance of the prosecutions of blackmailing editors. There has been for several months what seems an insane determination on the part of a large section of the sensational press to incite a warlike hatred of their neighbors, chiefly England, in the minds of the French people. The government has beon at its wits' ends as to how to oheck this dangerous and incendiary spirit, which daily grew stronger and more defiant. The exposure of the blaokmail scandals furnished an 'opportunity, to discredit the entire press and greatly weaken its influence, of {cwiMah the authorities, under ministerini' direction, were not slow to take full advantage. The charges against a nlazgo olass» of Paris journalists are true, and the government's rigorous pursuit is fully justified, although its: motive is not disinterested love of justice.

There would be probably an easy triumph of the government over its journalistic enemies if it were not for the startling and embarrassing dilemma of tha oabinet, only hints of which as yet have reaobed its oritics. It grows out of the Dreyfus treason soandal, which still holds publio resentment at a high pitoh throughout France. The popular opinion has almost unanimously condemned in advance the accused' captain of selling important military secrets to

Germany, and it demands a public trial and the swiftest and severest punishment. This feeling is largely due to certain indiscreet utterances by General Mercier, minister of war, about the ^oasei and it is now well understood that the oabinet is hopelessly divided into groups, headed by Meroier and Hanotaux, the foreign secretary.—Paris Let-

THE MIRACLES OF LOURDES.

A,Meeting In Paris'at Which Zola Was Refuted by Living Witnesses, We have had in Paris an absolutely new spectacle, for one night only., Fif teen persons who declare that they were miraculously cured of terrible diseases presented themselves for inspection &t a lecture given by Dr. Boissarie of the bureau, des constatations at.-..Lourdea Dr. Boissarie's object was to refute varigus statements made by M. Zola'in jp book on Lourdes, and in order to ,prove that the cures which, take ,place at the scene ofvBernadett'e's visions are truly miraculous. he brought from various parts of France 15 persons healed within the last two or three years at Lourdes of diseases which medical science had pronounced incurabla

Among these was the young woman, Marie Lemarchand, who figures in M. Zola's book as Elsie Bouquet. She went to Lourdes horribly disfigured with lupus, which had partly destroyed her nose and mouth and spread over her whole face. Zola gives a realistic description of her appearance, which is anything but pleasant reading. It was nevertheless read at the meeting, and then Marie was asked to stand up and show her. face. As she did so there was a general exclamation of wonder. The viotim of lupus whom the doctors had 1,abandoned had become again quite a prettyv fresh faced country girl whom medical uaen declared to be perfectly healthy.- Another subject was a. man

Who was pronounoed at the Saltpetiere hospital to be suffering from paralysis and blindness caused by atrophy of the optio nerves. He went to Lourdes and recovered his sight and health instantaneously. Then there was a girl who was cured of a cancer whioh was so bad that a surgeon refused to operate upon it, and another of a wounfl in the foot caused by caries of the bone.

This procession of miraoules and toe medical diagnoses and certificates which were read produced an extraordinary impression. The audience was largely compbsed of doctors and medical students.^Paris Cor. Bbston Transcript.
