Paa South Africa, Februar 23.— During toe last couple of weeks we have seen active seavice with a vengeance,
{those croakers who were all the time predicting we would never see active ser v ce have had their expectations dispelled in a very rude way.
On Sunday night at twelve o'clock we were awakened and told to get ready to march to Belmont at once, and after bav~ ing hot coffee, we got away at two, reach- ing Belmont seven Monday morning, where we stayed until the evening, when we were taken by train to Graspan to join the 19th Brigade. The nextday we march- ed seventeen miles under a frightfully hot eun, and afterthe first ten miles men fell out by the dozen, smitten by sunstroke, The Canadians were no worse, if as bad, as the regular troop». Company G. was the only one in the regiment that stood it through without having any men fall out. We camped that night at Grandam, and were away by daybreak the next day, and keptuptue marching all week. Friday we entered Jacobsdal, and Sunday at 7 a. m., arrived here, where the artillery were in action. We just had time to get rome hot coffee when we were ordered out on tiie field, having to wade 4 river to get out, where we got wet to the shoulders. We got under fire at once, and gradvally

APRIL MAGAZINES.
FCRIBNERB’S,
Among the features of Scribner’s Maga- zine for April, the animal story by Ernest Seton-Thompson, tlustrated by him, will attract the large audience which has been fascinated by “Wild Animals I have Known.” In this story is given the life and adventures Of a curious little animal of the eouthwest, known as the Kangaroo Rat.
Henry van Dyke has another outdoor story, the scene of which is laid in a light- house oa the St, Lawrence. The title is
“The Light That Failed Not.” It contains £
several dramatic situations. The illastra- tions by Mr. Clark have the distinction which all who admize his work expect from that young artist.
Mr. O.J. Whigham, who is following the Modder River column for Scribner’s Magazine, contributes to this number an account of the British defeat at Magersfon- tein. This brings the narrative up to the time when Gen. Lord Roveris took com- Mr. Whigham has had good fortune with his photographs tak2p on the fle!d of baitle,a noumber of which appear in this article.
The tide of travellers which haa el- ready tnroed toward Paris, will find much to interest them in Mise tarbeli’s artrcle on “The Charm of Paria” waich conveys witb singular snecese the characteristics of Pari. which mske th s+ who kuow it well Jiwe ut. The allusiranions are by a number of the best-known Freach artists.
