J Is f art 13 r - FAMINE AND HUNGER. The Lot of The Inhabitants of The Cape Verde Islands, A pitiful story come from New Bed ford, Has, where the Portuguese Immi grants Kent from this city lust spring-, a story of "uttering among the InhabU tan's of tbe Cape Verde Islands even worse than the passengers of the no fort nnate boat Vera Cms VII Jendared. The people in New Bedford have heard from their relatives and friends In tnut bland and all . reports tell of suffering and death. . The chief means of Information Is the Cape Vorde news paper which says that despite the efforts of the Military Gov ernor to relieve theItuat!on, the famine Is spreading. It appears that for the past three months the Government has totally stopped' all operations on the public highways ana Government works and the hundreds of laborers uaually dependent on such work have been thrown out Of employment and are des titute. The heavy emigration from that Island last spring robbed the farming districts of skilled labor snd the crops utterly failed for lack of help. The situation on the Island of 8t. Thlsgo Is particularly distressing. Old and decrepld people drop dead In the street and babies die of starvation. A death rate as high as fifty per day Is reported, and so pressed are the burial authorities that It Is necessary to pile the dead In common graves In the cemeteries wlthont coffins. Successful Bear Round-up. In the neighborhood of Presoott's post office, Beaufort county, the bears have been annoying the farmers by frequent attacks on their hogs. Sunday evening, a bear family raided the herd of Mr Irving Bonner, and car rledoff what they wanted. Monday morning Mr Bonner aroused a number of his neighbors and they started In pur suit of the mauraders. After beating the brush for. some time three bears were discovered, two bad taken to trees, while the other one, the mother bear bad crouched near by to protect her offspring. Then the fun be gan. After practicing their markmanshlp on the head of bruin, a fatal shot was fired by one of the crowd of hunters and the hog eater stretched herself out in a last struggle. One cub was killed, the other one wss captured alive. The she bear was quite a large specimen and the cubs were well on towards grown. Weather For Northwest. Chicago, August 8rd.

It Should be Seen to. That the Approaches to . Hew Bern are Repaired, People who come to town over the county roads are complaining about the bad condition of them. It the roads are bad now daring the comparatively dry weather, what can be expected of them later on when the fall rains set In! The weather Is now favorable for road working, the crops are about cultivated, the country people are leu bnsy, and nothing but carelessness and neglect Is to hinder the roads from receiving the proper attention. The people who have produce to haul to market should bo the ones to Interest themselves In the repair of roads, but as a rale they dislike to spare the hands off the farm for road work, until the crops are laid by, then labor Is so demoralized and scattered un til cotton picking time that It is next to Impossible to get It together for road work. - This matter of good or bad roads Is of vital Importance not only to tho planter who perhaps strains his animals to death drawing loads of produce over bad roads to market, but to the market town that expects to handle the produce. No care ful Intelligent farmer cares to unneces sarlally Injure his horses, snd . will de cline to market his produce at a town whose approaches are well nigh Impassi ble but will travel further to reach a town across good roads. Last fall It will be remembered that the roads leading out from New Bern for several miles were in a mlsorable condition, it belns; Impossible to draw an average load across them. This bod condition existed even in the season for marketing tobacco, and it Is also known that some planters who Intended to sell their tobacco here were obliged on ac count of bad roads to carry their stuff elsewhere. It was the same with the cotton crop later on. The bad roads leading to New Bern are costing the merchants here thous ands of dollars In trade that Is being carried to other towns; Is costing the farmers who sre of business necessity obliged to bring their produce here, thousands of dollars, in the wear and tear of their beasts and vehicles. The road law provides for the keeping of them up, but the law is not enforced. The supervisors appoint an overseer, he qualifies and that Is the lost ever heard of him. The law requires that where it is needed, the overseer shall have six days work done each year on his section Many of them don't have one days work done. Let the law be enforced, and if, as It Is argued, there are not hands enough tc keep up the roads, make a different law. or let the ones most Interested, supple ment the force by voluntary contribu tions. Now Is the time to begin work, and if the time is wasted until tho rains set in, the same conditions that were,, present last fall will be again. CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children.

' Sqnnrlns the Circle. The or!Rln of the problem squaring tho circle Is almost lost in the mists of antiquity, but there is a record of an ftomntod mindrnniro In Kgypr BOO years before tho exodus of the Jews. There is also a claim, nccoramg to Hone, that tho problem was solved by a discovery of Hippocrates, the geo metrician of Chios not tbe physician 500 B. C.

Probably not, but all sorts of shifts linvc been practiced at all times to rt-tntn 0:10. There have always bten men like T'uorcau and St Francis who believed tlmt property brought with it a heavy heart and who have refused, as did tlio American philosopher, to be 'hnrnes3cd 1o ills possessions." St Francis "enst aside every weight" that ho might free himself from "Idle sor vovr." lie and his first disciples "loved nothing earthly and feared nothing earthly. They were secure in nil places, I troubled by no fears, distracted by no I cares; they lived without trouble of ( mind, wuitlng without solicitude for ! the cousin;; day." - St. Francis in tha 1 fastnesses of the Italian hills singing ; French hymns among the highway rob-1 bers in bis whimsical lightness of heart makes n strange picture. He knew , 1 reiK-n unaly, but It seemed to him the language of gayety. The founder of the Franciscans, though wo nro told that he possessed what was quaintly called the gift of tears when perform ing his devotions in his cell, was never seen abroad without a smile; neither would ho tolerate uny appearance of heaviness in bis followers. lie rebuked a brother to whom a dejected manner had become habitual, saying, "My brother, repent thy sius in private, and do not appear before the community thus downcast." We are inclined to think that those who make their living provided it Is a fairly good one in the sweat of their brow have liglfter hearts than those who make it in the sweat of their brain. The high spirits which seem to bo enjoyed by domestic servants, to Judge by the sounds which come up stairs, are a case In point. Dusting, scrubbing and plate cleaning seem to weigh on the heart far less than doc toring, journalism or the study of law or theology. Too often spirits are broken by overwork or by disappoint ment in tbe wild struggle to succeed which goes on among professional pco plo. Certainly In tbe literary world light hearts are generally lost early, yet the light hearted man of letters, though he is rare, is the most attractive of all light hearted men.

A celebrated bishop once sat through a long and atrocious sermon on a hot summer morning. With an immova ble countenance he listened to mota phors that were mixed, pathos that was bathos and humor that was sad. The preacher was a youth just out of college a very conceited youth. He bellowed through his sermon at the top of his lungs. ' His gestures were violent enough to break his arms. At every climax he fixed the. bishop with his eye to see if a suitable impression had been made. And at the end of the service this young snip swaggered up to the bishop and said; "I fancy I did rather well today, sir. Don't you think so V "Yes," returned the bishop; "but you did better last year.'V. "Last year!" said the young man. "Why, I didn't preach at all last year." "That's the reason," said tho bishop, with a pleasant smile. . Consul King David. This amusing anecdote of Lamartlne is related -by the Baroness Bonde in her volumeof letters: Shortly after the revolution of February he wrote on the blank leaves of his pocketbook the names of bis protegees and' sent the list to 'be provided with places im mediately.. Previously, however, it seems, ne naa scribbiea "David" on the page, and the head of the cabinet appointed tho said David consul at "BremcnTfuo rwstulanfowevcf, never came forward, and, though the poet did not like being disturbed, M. Hetzel was obliged to ask who was the David on his list . . , : "He who danced before tho ark," was the answer. ; V "Oh, dear! I have gazetted him toT Brcmcni" . ' "How very singular! I meant him for a Subject for meditation, not for nomination. But you can cancel it" k Tho monltcur registered the chango, but few knew that the last consul ap. pointed to Bremen was King David! Wonderful Senaa of Smell In Dogs, It has often been proved that dogs arc able to track their masters through crowded , streets, where it would be Impossible to attribute their accuracy to anything except the sense of smell alone. Mr. Romanes, the naturalist, once made some Interesting experi ments as to this wonderful power as exhibited in his own dog. In these tests the naturalist found that his dumb friend could easily follow in tbe tracks of bis master, though he was far out of sight, and that, too, after no less than eleven persons had followed, step ping exactly in the tracks made by Mr. Romanes, it being the deliberate inten tion to confuse tbe senses of the poor dog if possible.? Further experiment proved that the anlnfal tracked .the hoots instead of the mnn. far when Mr. Romanes put ou new footgear the ''dog failed entirely. . 1 Know One BuraBemody ' tor an obstinate cold.
