WOMAN’S FEARS. Mrs. W. K. Clifford, the English nov. elist, does a great deal of her writing at night. but once confessed to Prof. Huxley that she very toolishly gets scared when everyone has gone to bed.

" When I am at work nights I can see them watching me through tho aunt of the door.” WHM"; " EL XXDERS EAT In Iceland the native’s dinner usn- ally consists of dried fish and butter. The fish is ling or cod. which, when caught is Spli’ and then hung on the lines by the seashore to dry in the cold winds and hot sun. When thus preserved, the: will keep for years, being as hard as the nether millstone. When wanted for dinner, the fish. is well hammered by a stone mallet and then cut up into strips. In this state they are eaten, but it is said that it needs an Icelander’s teeth to t through the meal. The butter not spread on the fish, but the two are taken alternately. first a mouth- ful of. fish, then a mouthful of but- ter. It may easily be supposed that the Icelande: is thankful to have his jaws well greased after every month- ful of the tough morsel. box of matches.

To justice-lowing souls who have never known of these wrongs it has been like some horrible night- mare, that in this nineteenth century within the limits of a country over part of which there waves the British (lag, political and social oppression by one race over another was being so grossly practised, to know that on every side individual brutalities were being committed on defenceleee vic- tim, and that not by Arab slave driv- ers or Moslem oppressors, out by n profaeedly Christian and highly re- ligious people who, with the Bible in their hands and loud professions of hith, and prayers. were practising barbaritiee, in peers as well as war. which put to shame the records of what the savages of this land have inflicted..even in war time. upon white For over two hundred years the progenitors of the Transvaal Repub- lic and their descendants have crush- ed. maltreated. and, as far as they had the power to do so, robbed of all rights belonging to them as fellow human beings, the colored peoples of this land. Under Transvaal rule, a ceaseless ccmmital of crimes, legisla- tive, social and individual. has been perpetrated upon the helpless natives both within and beyond the borders of the Republic, for whom it has seemed till now there was no possible deliverance. Powerless to right them- selves, with no human arm to look to for succor, the mute appeal of their helpless sufferings has gone up be- fore God, the God of eternal justice. The crimes which have cried unre- dreseed to heaven from the length and breadth of this land for over two hun- ' dred years, but more particularly from that part known as the Transvaal territory, defy description, and it has seemed as though redress would nev- “Meeeage to the Christian People of Great Britain,’ from Mrs. LewiS. 8 Dutohwomnn, sister of the Prime Min- ister 01 Cape Colony, and .of Olive Submitter.

The gun weighs 66 tons. The 91-2-in. gun is lighter, and fires e shell weighing three hundred- weight.
