One morn-1 lug many years. ago he chanced in Port : Elizabeth to coine across a consign- , ment of damaged hats offered for a ' more song. He .bought the whcle lot, packed them away in his wagon and started for Ka airland. Whm he reached Tembulaud, he an- : loaded his stock, opened his kegs cf liq uor, without which no trade was made in those days, and began business. But he found his venture likely to prove a-a unprofitable one. The natives did not want hats. They wanted blankets and beads ivnd looking glasses and above . all liquor, but they looked askance at i hats. Then a bright idea came to An- ; dries. He wanted to introduce those ' hats. He did Introduce them. Ilrs sim- ! pie expedient' was to refuse to sell any- thing to n' Kaffir unless he bought a j hat too. The Kaffirs wanted his goods, ' so they bought the hats. When a Kaffir buys anything, he ! feels bound to make use of it. The na tives therefore don nod their head gilr.r ' a ad returned to their kraals. Xow. ap peared the brilliancy of the trader's idea. Fashion rules the world. It- is as ' strong hi Africa as in America, and ' when those who bud stayed at home raw the travelers return In all the glo ry of this strange covering they felt behindhand and old fashioned. Their desire to possess the latest thing in bain became intense. They paid Au drirs a visit, and h?s stock tio longtT hung heavy upon his hands. The bats were po n sold. This happened seme tfcne ago, and row every trading store keeps a supply ; of hats constantly on hand. They are said to be reanufactRm! expressly for the natives, and no one whs glances fit; the show will doubt it. A JUGGLER'S TRICK. Ciever Feat of Illusion ferforiaea toy j: :i East latiirin.

A TRUE HERO. of tlie Kind Th.-.t Gets Little Reccsiriticn Here 5Solovr. Did you ever know a hero real well? j I know at least one and quite intimate ly. Who? I am afraid you would haid lv rec-ocnize his name, and besides it would not be just right to give it here, j Ho u only an oid bachelor who works ! in a shop. He has been at one bench-; fcr (something liko weii. from this you . may judge: When he began, he was j freih from school, lie lives in a little ' frame house, with an absurd little ! backyard hardly more than big enough I for the syringa bush and the ash bar- ! rel. I "The first morning I started for the shop," he once told me, "I cut across the back yard and climbed the fence. I have been doing it ever since, and it has been a long time.'' In the tiny lawn is worn a deep footpath. The top rail of he back frnce it smoothly pol ished, ills fee t wore the path. Hi.i hands polished the rail. And all these years he has worked at the same bench, doing the tame work. Not that he lacks intelligence or that he never had an ambition. Intelligence books ah'airs and the drift of things. Amb .... . . . tion he had, too. but that was before . his feet had worn a path across the ! hack yard. I am quite sure that he , once loved. In fact, I suspect that 1 know thj one ha loved, and that she loved him. But he never married. She ; did, though she has been widowed for a dczon years. j But why. you ask, wiih intelligence aud ambition, did he . stick to his .bench?. 'In an upper room cf his little . cottage . is a window blind which is never opened. Behind that blind, peer- j ing out through the shtUti rs with un- , recognising gaze, sits one who bears ' the outward form cf manhood, yet lacks manhood's mental qualities.

Yet ia there a tenderness in his vck-e, a cheer- ! ful sveetuesti in his smile, a patient j resignation in his pale blue eyes, that make, his manner of such mild gentle-j noes as, you miht expect in a saint, j From hi in comes sever a. word cf com-' pbiiat: aboo-t him is no trace of dis- j appointment, no hint cf bitterness. i And co. though ft-v. kiww-.his name, j thoutih he wears no glitttring gauds, j though he goes hi4? way unhoiupered j by "lJomp or circumstance and all un-j recognized by church cr etate.

It seems always to have lain within the power of the distinguished lawyer and humorist, Rafus Choate. to lead a choleric client" from ways of auger into the paths of peace. Just before the war a' southern gentleman was dining with a friend in one of the best hotels of Boston. He was of French creole extraction, and his name was Delacour, says a writer iu Lippincott's ! Magazine. The waiter was a colored man, and the southerner gave his or ders in a very domineering fashion, hnding fault freely with w hat was put before him and the way in which it was served. Finally the waiter became incensed and told Mr. Delacour to go to a place warm and remote. The lat ter sprang furiously to his feet and would have hct the offender dead if be . had not. been restrained by his wiser friend, who said: "You can't do that sort of thing here. You will have to remember where you are."- "Do you suppose that 1 am going to put up wKh such i:::;olcnce and not '( Vrfimlv Certainly not. But do it by process 1 of law.".
