A SUBUME SPECTACLE. “
8outh Africa’s Great Natural Wonder,
Victoria Palls.
Just ns every visitor to the Unit
ed States heads straight i„r Niag
ara, so every visitor to South Africa
purchases forthwith a ticket to the
Victoria falls of the Zambezi, the
mighty cataract in the heart of
Rhodesia, which is the greatest nat-
urul wonder in the dark continent
and perhaps in the world.
The natives call the falls Mosi-
oa-tunya, which means “Thunder
ing Smoke,” and you appreciate the
name’s significance when your traiu
halts at duybreak at a wayside sta
tion sixty miles away and you see
above the treetops a cloud of
smoky vapor and near a low hum
ming like a million sewing ma
chines.
It is so utterly impossible for the
eye, the mind and the imagination
to grasp the size, grandeur and
beauty of the Victoria falls that it is
futile to attempt to describe them.
If you can picture an unbroken
sheet of water forty city blocks in
width hurtling over n precipice
twice aB high as the Flatiron build
ing you will have the best idea that
I can give you of wha.t the Victoria
falls are like.
They are unique in that the level
of the land above the falls is the
same as that below, the entire
breadth of the second greatest river
in Africa falling precipitately into a
deep and narrow chasm, from which
the only outlet is an opening in the
rock less than 100 yards wide.
From the Boiling Pot, as this
seething caldron of waters is call
ed, the contents of the Zambezi
rush with unbridled fury through a
deep and narrow gorge of basajtic
cliffs, which, nowhere inferior to
the papids at Niagara, extends with
many zigzag windings for more than
forty miles.
My first glimpse of the falls was
in the early morning, and the love
ly, reeking splendor of the thing,
as the great, placid river, all un
conscious of its fate, comes sudden
ly to the precipice’s brink and
plunges in one mighty torrent into
the Obscurity of the cavern below;
tho crush as of unceasing thunder,
tho rolling clouds at spray, the
trembling eorth, the etmbnr wan
forest an the oppoeft*. bonk end s

Sam Janos, fibs ovanggHaf, was
leading a revival meeting in Hwite-
vitle, Tex., a number of years ago,
and at tho close of one of tho serv
ices an old negro women pushed
her way up through the crowd to
the edge of the pulpit platform.
Sam took-the perspiring black hand
that was held out to him and heard
the old woman say: “Brudder
Jones, you sho’ is a fine preacher I
Yes, sun; de Lord bless you. You’s

NAPOLEON ON DISCIPLINE.
Grenadiers He Sentenced to Death
Drank to His Health.
Another contribution to “Napo*
leoniana” is the collection of mem
oirs and letters of the army sur
geon Baron Desgnettes, who was
with the Egyptian expedition. Omr'
day ho found Eugene Beaulmrnais
asleep in the sand in the .desert of
Ramanieh. “Wake up, Eugeno,
wake up! This repose does not suit
either you or your name or profes
sion. A man of war must be with
out rest and without pity.” On an
other occasion Napoloon had con
demned several of his pet grena
diers to death for looting and mur
der. His reflections, made to Des-
gnottes, are worth quoting:
“My sentence on tho grenadiers
of the Thirty-second regiment cost
me dear, but I was obliged to do it.
A commander in chief must have a
tremendous power. How can you
reasonably question the right of a
man to whom the state sometimes
intrusts the lives of a hundred
thousand troops to punish such se
rious offenses as he deems fit? 1
convicted- these grenadiers before
punishing them I When 1 seized An
toine by the collar and said to him,
‘Come, miserable wretch, and let me
confront you with your accom
plice,’ he was confounded.
“But what mep—fellows to win
a battle by themselves! Perhaps. the !
corporal has won some. You did
not see how they died? Like Gae-.
sars, showing their affection for me.
One of their comrades went to
drink with them in prison and re
marked, ‘Perhaps there was some
truth in the charge, else Bonaparte
would not have condemned ybu.’
‘Be silent,’ was the answer; ‘you do
not know what you are saying; he.
was deceived again, as he.often has
been-before, but no matter-let us
drink to his health.’
“And when the time came for the
execution they marched stendily out
and stood calmly before the firing
party, saying, ‘This is how the
grenadiers o£ the Thirty-second
die.’ Afterward the officers came to
see me, but I would not receive
them; but, faith, I pity those upon
whom the Thirty-second may fall
on the first occasion that presents

emigrant* that tbs Apacbos had
planned to ambuscade them at a
certain pass. The young Indian
volunteered to guide the wagons by
another route, and when ne had
done this be mounted his horse to
go home.
“See here,” said the leader of the
train to the young Maricopa; “you
have done us a good service. What
is your price ?”
“My price?” repeated the aston
ished Indian.
“That is what I asked.”
“I have no price. .Had gain been
my object I would have joined the
Apaches and met you in the pass.”
And so saying the brave wheeled
his horse and rode proudly away.

The Word "Cuthw."
“Cutler,” according to itn present
use, should mean a man who makes
things that cut, but really it has no
more to do with “cut” than “cut
lass” and “cutlet” have, which is
just nothing at all. “Cut” has Teu
tonic origin, hut “cutler” comes
through French from the late Latin
“cultellarius,” which meant either
a soldier armed with a knife or a
knifemaker, and “cultellus,” a little
knife, was the diminutive of “cul-
ter,” which, among other things,
meant a plowshare or “coulter.”
“Cutlass” comes from the same
ftmve* and to “cofeM*,”
