BOER LANGUAGES. The Different Kinds of Dutch Spoken in South Africa. It seems a strange thing to say, but there are three Dutch languages in South Africa. The earliest Dutch settlers at the Cape were largely Dutch sailors and others belonging to the lower orders of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and other Dutch seaports. Their language was a low Dutch dialect to begin with, and although the sprinkling of Dutch officers at the Cape did their best to preserve the language of the Netherlands they could not prevent the dialect of the settlers from still further degenerating into a mere colloquial patola. Its degeneration was doubtless largely brought about by domestic servants and slaves—Hottentots, Malays and Mozambique Kaffirs—who spoke it very imperfectly and introduced into it many strange words and idioms. This, then, is the genesis of what is variously known as "Cape Dutch," "Kitchen Dutch," "Patriot Dutch," "Afrikaans" and "Afrikaander Taal." Its basis is Dutch, but the nouns have lost their declensions and the verbs their conjugations, while grammatical gender and syntax generally have gone by the board. To the educated Hollander of today it is a literary atrocity, and he cannot away with it, but to the Afrikaander it is his mother tongue, the language of his home and his childhood, the exponent of all that he knows of humor and pathos. It is full of expressive idioms, pithy proverbs and pawky expressions, like those so dear to the lowland Scot, and yet it is not a language, for it has no literature. The second of the three Dutch languages referred to might be called "ecclesiastical Dutch," or, if you like, African Dutch. It is the language of Holland as that language was written about 200 years ago. It is the language of the Dutch Bible and very much resembles our own authorized version in its simplicity and directness of style. It is the language of the Dutch psalm and Gesang books and of the devotional works of old Dutch divines, which make up the balance of the Dutch farmers' literature. In it are also written many tracts and a few devotional works by living ministers of the Dutch Reformed church. To the Boer wherever you find him it is the language of his church and of his religion. This is the Dutch language which the leaders of the Dutch Afrikaander party are determined to preserve. It is never spoken by Afrikaanders among themselves, however, and it is never written grammatically correct. THE HOTTENTOT. This poor unfortunate Hottentot He was not content with his lotentot: Quoth he: "For my dinner, As I am a sinner." There’s nothing to put in the potentot! This poor unfortunate Hottentot Cried: "Field to starvation I'll notentot I'll get me a canaloupse Or else a young antelope, One who’ll enjoy being shottentot." This poor unfortunate Hottentot His bow and his arrow he gottentot, And, being stout hearted, At once he departed And struck through the bush at a trottertot. This poor unfortunate Hottentot, When several miles from his cottentot, He chanced to sit eyes on A snake that was p’ison A-tying itself in a knottedot. Then this poor unfortunate Hottentot Remarked: "This for me is no spottenot! I’d better be going; There’s really no knowing If he’s trying to charm me or whattentot!" This poor unfortunate Hottentot Was turning to flee to his grottentot When a lioness met him And suddenly “of” him, As a penny’s engulfed by the slottenot. MORAL. This poor unfortunate Hottentot Had better have borne with his lotentot And grown even thinner For lack of a diener. But I should have had, then, no plottentot! —Laura E. Richards in St. Nicholas. Nothing Lost. Freddie—You said you’d bring me some candy if I’d be good. Uncle—I'm sorry, Freddie, but I forgot all about it. Freddie—Well, I'm glad I forgot to be good—San Francisco Examiner.

The harvest of the sugar-beet the Bolsa and Talbert district gin on Monday according to orders issued by the factories at the best-loan have been increased so that as fifteen cars can be loaded at The track extensions were made later in the season. The Triet is one of the latest in to be planted to beets and has been so satisfactory in high-grade product that they has become one of the most able in the county. The creason is reported to be of the saeccharine percentage with large size. Cures Sciatica Rev. W. L. Riley, L. L. N.

Hatzfeld, druggis A Legend About Cats. The ancient Greeks thought that all creatures except cats had souls and that animal lost its soul through a bargain made between a bridge architect and the devil. The architect had besought the devil to get his help in constructing an exceedingly dangerous bridge structure, and his Satanic majesty only consented to lend aid on condition that the first creature to cross it should lose its soul. This was agreed upon, the bridge finished in due time and the devil sent to the opposite side to await his prey. The shrewd architect took good care to send a cat over before any human being was allowed to cross. On learning of the bargain the cat recrached the bridge and scratched the architect's eyes out. Naming a Town. According to a local tradition, probably invented, Sayville, N. Y., received its name in a peculiar fashion. The settlers were gathered in debate upon the shore, trying to agree upon a name for the place, and one after another proposed his suggestion with, "Say, how 'll this do?' After many suggestions had been rejected some one barren of imagination but sensitive of ear proposed that the oft repeated word "Say" be made the first syllable of the name and that "ville" be added as the second syllable. The idea took, and says the legend, then and there the settlement was christened Sayville. Favored the Clarinet. "So ye're goin' ty make yer b'y a musician," said Mr. Rafferty. "I am," answered Mr. Dolan. "I'm goin' ty have 'im learn ty play the clarinet." "Why don't you learn 'im the vi'lin?" "Because I want 'im ty have every advantage.

At the house where I board the cook can break two eggs into a bowl and after beating them a little turn out an omelet the landlady will make to serve six persons without straining her conscience in the least.—New York Times. Brother Dickey Overdid It. "I declare," said Brother Dickey, "I got ter be mo' keerful in future. I sho' has." "What's the trouble now?" Well, suh, I whirled in en prayed fer rain des two hours en a half, en, bless God, dey come a regular deluge dat come mighty nigh drownin' de best mule I had.

Doesn't the Bible say woman was made to be a help-meet for man?" "Yes, and I'm all the help there's ever been in this family," retorted Mrs. Tyte-Phist, vigorously wiping the supper dishes.—Chicago Tribune. A Hint to Home Dressmakers. A little mother, whose home duties are numerous and onerous as well, saves herself much time by a practical bit of forethought which all mothers with growing daughters are sure to appreciate. In making her little girl's dresses she takes a large tuck in the under side of the hem, and when the small gown is crawling up to the knees, instead of ripping out the hem and going to all the trouble of putting it in again, she has only to cut the stitches in the tuck and the little frock is lengthened. Shrunken Flannels. It is possible to wash fannels without shrinking them, but the average laundress does not know the process. Therefore it is worth while to know how to restore shrunken garments to their original size or something like it. Try laying the article to be restored on the ironing board and lay on it a piece of cheesecloth which has been wrung out of cold water. Press with a hot iron until the cheesecloth is perfectly dry. The garment will show a marked improvement. A Door Stop. Much damage may be done to a wall paper or even to the wall itself by the banging of a door handle or key against it.

The sea anemone is one of the longest lived of humble organisms. One has flourished in captivity for fifty years. Cooking a Steak. There is a right and wrong way to cook beefsteak. The wrong way is to put it in a cold pan and cook it for some time on one side, thus permitting the juice to escape. The right way is to put it in a pan containing a little boiling fat and to turn it at the end or a minute or so, thus sealing both sides and retaining all juice. A Dangerous Practice. A common and dangerous practice is to throw outer garments on the bed, considering that they come in contact with all sorts of undesirable objects, which is inimical to daintiness if to nothing else. Clothing worn during the day should be removed from the bedroom at night. Inflamed, weak and sore eyes, pimples and catarrh may all be "passed on" by the use of the family towel. The individual towel is a hygienic necessity. A Door Stop. Much damage may be done to a wall paper or even to the wall itself by the banging of a door handle or key against it. An easy device for preventing this, and a homemade one, is to take an empty spool, to pad the top with some wadding and to cover it all with some material as nearly matching-the carpet in color as possible, then pass a brass headed nail through the spool and drive it into the floor a few inches from the wall or where you wish the door to stop. Bedroom Windows. Every bedroom window should be provided with a dark green shade to keep out the early morning sunlight. It need not be a heavy holland shade, which keeps out air as well as light. Side curtains of dark cheesecloth hung from a rod underneath the white shade are soft and thin enough to draw out of sight against the window frame and are effectual in creating a dim, reli glious light, conducive to slumber. The Whole Story in one letter about Pain-Killer (PERRY DAVIS.) From Capt. F.

SUGAR BEETS AT TALBERT The harvest of the sugar-beet crop in the Bolsa and Talbert districts will begin on Monday according to general orders issued by the factories. Shipping facilities at the best-loading dump have been increased so that as many as fifteen cars can be loaded at one time. The track extensions were made necessary by the larger crop of the season. During the first week it is estimated 200 tons will be sent out daily, and this amount will be materially increased later in the season. The Talbert district is one of the latest in the county to be planted to beets and the result has been so satisfactory in point of high-grade product that the area there has become one of the most considerable in the county. The crop this season is reported to be of the usual high saccharine percentage with the beets of large size. Cures Sciatica Rev. W. L. Riley, L. L. D., Cuba, N.Y., writes: "After fifteen days of excruciating pain from sciatic rheumatism, under various treatments, I was induced to try Ballard's Snow liniment, the first application giving my first relief, and the second, entire relief. I can give it unqualified recommendation. 25c, 50c and $1 at J. P. Hatzfeld's."

While the train was running sixty-five miles an hour the little girl jumped from her berth through the window of the sleeper. At the next stop the father of the girl left the train and went in search of the child. She was found a little distance from the track still asleep, but beyond numerous scratches was uninjured. She has no recollection of leaving the train. Brutally Tortured A case came to light that for persistent and unmercurial torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Cal., writes, "For 15 years I endured insufferable pain from rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me."

LIQUOR LAW LIGHTENED The board of city trustees of Redondo on Friday evening adopted an ordinance which was approved three weeks previously. As the matter now stands applicants for saloon licenses will not be compelled to get the consent of the owners of two-thirds of the frontage in the block where the license is desired. The new ordinance calls for 50 per cent of the frontage, and is not to go into effect until January 1, 1904. It is understood that the change in the ordinance was made with the idea of allowing one more saloon to run, notwithstanding the fact that the applicant under the old ordinance could not get the consent of the owners of the necessary frontage. The board instructed the clerk not to issue any more restaurant licenses. Hereafter applicants for restaurant liquor licenses will be compelled to make application to the board before such privilege will be granted. No Pity Shown "For years fate was after me continuously" writes F. A. Gulledge, Verbena, Ala. "I had a terrible case of piles causing 24 tumors. When all failed Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured me.

ALHAMBRA DRY The board of city trustees of Alhambra has passed a stringent no-license and anti-liquor ordinance. This ordinance, which follows closely that of Long Beach, was adopted by the trustees at their meeting Thursday evening of last week. Although a law, violations of it cannot be punished until a city recorder is appointed to conduct the city court created by an ordinance also passed at the last meeting of the board. This important officer was appointed by the board at their meeting on Tuesday evening, and the judicial machinery of the municipality has begun to grind. If Alhambra is not a "dry" town hereafter it will not be the fault of the city fathers. Repulsive Features Blackheads, pimples, greasy faces and muddy complexions, which are so common among women, especially girls at a certain age, destroying beauty, disgusting and making repulsive features which would otherwise appear attractive and refined, indicate that the liver is out of order.

It is a medicine of positive merit and fully accomplishes all that is claimed for it." Malaria cannot find a lodgment in the system while the liver is in perfect order, or one of its functions is to prevent the absorption of fever producing poisons. Herbine is a most efficient liver regulator. 50c at J. P. Hatzfeld's. Giles—I saw your fat friend Wilder in a drug store yesterday.

Sketch of the industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 41 miles from the footnills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer; or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded; and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts... ARKANSAS FOR GOOD ROADS Work of the Recent Convention held in Little Rock. The state good roads convention recently held at Little Rock, Ark., was one of the most important ever held in this country to consider any industrial question, says Martin Dodge, director of public road inquiries. The great questions under discussion were state aid and national aid to roadbuilding. There was almost a unanimous opinion in favor of both propositions, and on the second day a resolution was passed by a unanimous rising vote of the convention instructing the legislature to pass a law at once levying a tax of 2 mills on every dollar of taxable property in the state to raise a fund to be used by the state to aid its different subdivisions in building roads. The opinion also prevailed that the United States government should become one of the co-operating forces in this great work and should pay some share of the cost required to improve certain leading highways up to a high standard of excellence. In this connection the Brownlow bill now pending in congress, which provides for a system of co-operation between the United States and the different states or subdivisions thereof in roadbuilding, was under consideration. It was considered good policy by the participants in the discussion that the United States should be called upon to contribute a share in this necessary improvement of highways. This idea was indorsed in a resolution passed by the convention. Attention was called to the fact that the government has already appropriated $1,000,000 for such a purpose to Porto Rico and another million to the Philippines, and the secretary of war has lately recommended to congress, with the approval of the president, that $3,000,000 should be immediately appropriated for the use of the Philippine government to be mainly expended in building highways and other public improvements on the islands.

How long since you gave your order? Guest—About half an hour. I didn't know there was a strike. I thought it was merely the usual delay. It Must Come. As inevitable as the changing seasons of the year is the change which comes to every woman. And just as one anticipates the changes of other seasons it is wise to anticipate this change of season and prepare for it. In this way the discomforts and disasters suffered by many women at the period of change can be avoided or overcome. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a medicine for every season of woman's life, will entirely meet the needs of women at this period of change. It cures the physical illies and relieves the mental anxiety and depression usually associated with this critical period. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces refreshing sleep. $500 REWARD FOR WOMEN WHO CANNOT BE CURED. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they cannot cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. J.S. Carlisle, Esq., of Manchester, Coffee Co., Tenn., writes: "I have been using your medicines for the last sixteen or eighteen years in my Poor-house. I am superintendent of the Coffee County Poor-house and Asylum combined. Your 'Favorite Prescription,' 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellte' are the best medicines for the diseases for which they are recommended, that I ever used. They saved my wife's life at the time of 'change of life.' I have been recommending your medicine to many afflicted women and have also guaranteed that if it did not cure I would pay back the money spent for it. I have told our druggist that if the people came back and said Doctor Pierce's medicines did not give satisfaction, to give them back their money and charge it to me. I have not once been called upon to refund. I have never found anything to equal the 'Favorite Prescription' for diseases of women." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps for the paper covered book, or 3 stamps for the cloth bound. Address Dr. R.V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue.

Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. THE SANDERS-ARNOTT DISC PLOW. The solid cast frame now being used on the Sanders-Arnott Disc Plow is the most valuable feature added to the Disc Plow since they were placed on sale. See them before buying. We have a new sprung beams out of line or bolts sheared off. We have a new pattern four gang plow for the largest manches. Any disc plow without the solid cast frame is old style.
