n german traders in south africa evidence of unjust dealings with native tribes oerman police aided the traders and furnished no redress to dis tressed colonists there are two opinions concerning the right of any nation however ad vanced to oubilue and to govern an uncivilized or partly civilized people even when the government is just and beuegceut there can be no two opin ions regarding a nation hiatuses its power to oppress and rob its weaker neighbor it was tho germans own deeds in thoir african colonics that made it impossble to restore those colonies after the war in an article on the german rule in southwest afri ca printed in the fortnight- review the writer quotes the testimony ot an under chief daniel korego of ornaru- ru concerning the reasons for the na tive rebellion of 1904 our people he said were being robbed and deceived right and left by german traders our cattle were driven by force we were flogged and ultreated and got no redress in fact the german police assisted the traders instead of protecting us traders would come along and offer goods when we said that we had no cattle to spare as the rinderpest had killed to many they said they would give ns credit ofjon when we refused to buy goods the trader would simply unload goods and leave them saying that we could pay when we liked but hi a few weeks he would come back and demand his money or cattle he would then pick out the very best cows he could find theft and robbery very often one mans cattle were taken to pay other peoples debts if we objected and tried to resist the police would be sent for and what with floggings and the threats of shooting it was useless for our poor people to resist it the traders had been fair and reasonable we should never have complained but this was not trading at all it was theft and robbery they fixed their own prices lor the goods but would never let us place our own valuation on the cattle for a bag of meal they took eight cows which were equivalent to six teen oxen for the hereros would al ways give two oxen for the cow she is a breeder and we loved to increase dur herds for a pair of boots they took a cow most traders took only cows for they were farmers also and wanted more cattle often when credit had been given they came back and claimed what they calledjnterston the debt oniy i sol a bag of meal on credit and later the trader came and took eight cows lor the debt and two more cows for what he called credit thus it cost me ten cows altogether just before the rebellion in 1903 things got worse than ever all the traders came round and began to collect debts often their claims were quite false and they were jeliberately stealing our cattle we complained to tho german police but they told us that we were all liars and lhat the word of a german would al ways be taken even if half a dozen of ts had the impudence to contradict mm thatmado us feel as if it were ust as well not to be alive our people cried and lamented the loss of their stock our poorer people no longer had enough milk to drink all ur cows were going and every month law our property dwindle away we law our chiefs who complained and complained until they were tired no lecd was taken of them and we had ao courts of law to which to appeal for lustice the only easy way pa whats the easypayment plan paying cash my boy ton whatever you buy there was a reason darling i

the art of conversation is worth studying there are many rules to be observed but they are all simple and easy to remember first you must know what to talk aboat the following rules will help you 1 choose a subject which interests you if it interests you it will prob ably interest your audience 2 talk about things of which you have some special knowledge for then you are sure to tell your audtence something new and interesting next you must know how to talk 1 talk modestly otherwise you will annoy your hearers by your self- assumed superiority 2 talk cheerfully and hopefully otherwise you will depress your friend and they will wish to be rid of you 3 speak charitably or you will be come a mere scandalmonger a per son to be avoided 4 show an interest in your subject by your voice and manner interest is infectious and your audience will soon catch the infection the rules about when to talk are all donts 1 dont talk to a person who is tired and wishes to rest dont talk to a person who is reading dont talk to anyone who has something bet ter to do than to listen to you 2 dont talk if you yourself are tired or depressed for then your con versation will be dull and depressing 3 dont be afraid that if you remain silent your friends will think you dull in any case it is better to be passively dull than actively boring 4 dont hold forth if there are more interesting persons present try to draw them out by asking them ques tions and showing an interest in them you must also know how to select your audience that is to whom you should talk therefore 1 talk to the person who is most likely to be interested in your conver sation 2 if you are a man you should pre ferably address your conversation to a woman and viceversa men and women have a different outlook a mans view of life will often be new and interesting to a woman when it wih seem obvious and commonplace to a man 3 avoid talking about your work to a man who is engaged in tho same business as yourself dont talk shop on the other hand your work may be supremely interesting to a man en gaged in some other business these rules may not make you a brilliant conversationalist for that re quires special gifts but if you follow them ou will never bore your friends and they will always be glad to listen to you the way of peace saviour in pity come to earth once more man cannot find true peace without thine aid thou art its prince take thou thine honored place and leach the rulers how thy peace is made the cleansing drops still ooze from out thy side oh let them fall upon the hearts

other liquid and noting the rise in tempera ture affords us a method of approxi mating the amount of heat given off by the sun by such a method it is estimated that the earth receives every second from the sun enough heat to raise 600000000 tons of ice water to the boiling point or to melt 4so000000 tons of ice without change in temperature if this is the amount that the earth receives think of the amount that must be passing off into space and other planets this amount has been computed to be 2200000000 times as great as that which the earth receives scientists have shown that the amount of heat received by us from the sun may vary as much as five per cent in less than a week ask for minards and take no other queer titles of books have you ever thought that writers may some day run out

it is generally realized that man does not altogether live by offices and pens and papers and engines and other accoutrements of labor he requires trees and shrubs and flowers and the loveliness ot nature the canadian pacific railway has always paid considerable attention to the development of garden plots along its lines it is just thirty years ago since a cpr employee raised a few varieties of flower seeds in his own garden and distributed them amongst his friends in the service of the com pany with the object of promoting flower gardening at the various sta tion plots of the railway a vast ad vance has been made since then and now the company possesses a floral department with headquarters at windsor street station montreal and a floral committee which embraces members from the eastern and west ern lines it is under the guidance of this department that the various sta tion plots and other properties of the company are cleared up and beauti fied thousands of packages of flower seeds bulbs trees and shrubs and large quantities of grass seeds and fertilizers have been distributed dur ing the last few years to station agents section foremen caretakers of round houses and all employees liv ing on the property of the company travellers on ho line observe the happy results achieved the cultiva tion work is done in all cases by the employees themselves who in most cases acquired the art of amateur gar dening by taking their lessons from leaflets issued by tho floral depart ment the best material is always provided amongst the varieties of trees supplied are maple

mignonette sweet peas phlox and kochia ferns and house plants are given to the larger sta tions the establishment and main tenance of the gardens and selection of the seeds bulbs and plants are supervised by mr b m winnegar forester of the company the encouraging influence of flower growing on the cpr during the last thirty years has in a large measure assisted in the inauguration of floral societies all over the country thero are hundreds of cpr officials con nected with these societies and most of them received their first lesson in flower culture at the cpr flower beds flowers have improved the r ay stations and inspired by the btaty of tho stations residents of the towns have planted flowers and improved the- appearances of thoir homes in every division of tho cpr prizes are
