corresponent of the London
from Natal
Each mounting of the big weapons has an inscription upon it presumably concocted by members of the Naval Brigade. One of these pharaphrasing a well known Scottish proverb runs :—
“Those who sup with me will re- quire a devil of a long spoon.”
Another has this suggestive phrase :--
“For what we are going to receive may the Lord make us truly thankful. —Oom Paul.”
A third inscription is :—
“Lay me true and load me light, The Boers will soon be out of sight.”
Concerning the inspiration which led Captain Percy Scott, of the British cruiser Terrible, to design mountings by which sea guns could be used effec- tively forland service,the correspondent says :—
“From the first it would seem that what was wanted were long-range guns which could shell the enemy ata dis- tance outside the range of the Mauser rifles. The captain of the ‘Terrible therefore proposed a field mounting for the naval long 12-pounder of twelve hundred weight, which has a much longer range than any artillery gun out here. A pair of wagon-whcels were picked up, a balk of timber used as a trail, and in 24 hours a 12-pound- er was ready for land service. Captain Scott then designed a mounting for a 4-7-inch naval gun by simply boltinga ship’s mounting down on to four pieces of pile.
“Experts declared that the 12- pounder would smash on the trial, and that the 4.7-inch gun would turn a somersault. The designer < insisted, however, on a trial. When it took place nothing of the kind happened, except that at extreme elevation the 12-pounder shell went 9,000 yards, and the 4.7-inch ({lyddite) projectile 12,000 yards. Captain Scott was therefore encouraged to go ahead, and four 12- pounders were fitted out

the camp, says :—‘The Boers complain that we are not “playing the game” ; they expected to fight only ‘rooineks,’ not sailors, who use guns that range seven miles, and they want us to go back to our ships. One of our lyddite shells wenc over a hill into their camp, killed 14 men and wounded 30.. Guns of this descriptions are not, according to the Boer idea, at all proper, and they do not like our way of “staggering humanity.” Had these guns been land- ed earlier} how much might have been saved !

Bru tal Boers.
An English gentleman who is at present in St John has a brother living in Pietermaritzburg, Natal. He says his brothers letters to him have not tended to give a very favorable impres- sion of the Boer character. ‘They are very cruel to their black servants. The gentleman’s brother wrote that on one occasion he saw a Boer come out and look over the trappings of his horse, which a black youth had just saddled and bridled for him. Something about the accoutrements did not suit the Boer, and he tied the youth up to a stake and whipped him on the bare back till the blood ran in streams, and then left him for several hours tied to The Englishman said he

He says the Boers regard themselves as a sort of chosen people but do not consider it out of place to follow a long family prayer by thrashing a negro slave almost to death for any error committed.

Their arrival has, everyone admits, quite changed the situation.’”

use the KIDNEYS =
kidney cure Oras Winey-Liver Pills
Ii’s a simple matter to test the kidneys. You need not consult a doctor. By asking yourself three questions you can determine whether or not your kidneys are deranged.
First: ‘‘ Have you backache, or weak, lame back ?”
Second: ‘Do you have cificlty in urinating or a too frequent desire tc urinate ?”
Third: ‘‘ Are there deposits like brick dust in the urine after it hae stood for twenty-four hours ?”
In its earlier stages kidney disease is readily cured by a few boxes of Dr. Chase’s Kidney- Liver Pills, a preparation which has made Dr. Chase famous throughout the world fer his wonderful cures of diseases of the kidneys.
If you have kidney disease you can take Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills with perfect confid ence that what has proved an absclute cure in so many thousands of cases wil] not fail you.
So long as the cells of the kidneys are nor completely wasted away, as in the last stages of Bright's dfSease, Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills will give them new vigor and strengthand maxe them strong, healthy and active. One sill a dose, 2s5c. @ box, at ali dealers, o dmanson, Bates & Co., Terunte

The Ladysmith correspondent of the
London ‘Telegraph, cabling under date of November 24, say$:A large
trek of Boer women arrived near Lady- smith yesterday in order to intercede with Gen. Joubert to stop the war.
A correspondent at Ladysmith writes: “Our Lyddite shells have had a most terrifying effect on the Boers, who have to be driven up to work their guns with loaded revolvers at their heads. Ladysmith can hold out for months.”
A Story of Kruger,
Illustrative of Kruger’s peculiar faith, an amusing anecdote is told by a fellow Boer. Once in the early days, when game was scarce, he was one of a party who went out to hunt the hartebeest. After scouring the veldt for days with- out a sign of game, Paul said he would retire over the hills to pray for food as the patriarchs of old. After several hours he returned and solemnly pro- phesied to the party that in three days a large troop of hartebeest would pass that way. The party made their camp there and, sure enough, in two days a number of these animals appeared. The Boers were siruck with wonder, and Kruger became celebrated as “ the man of prayer.” Afterwards, the Kaffir who accompanied him over the hills gave this version of the incident : When Kruger got out of sight he struck for a neighboring Kaffir kraal where, calling the Induna, he informed him that the men were starving for want of game ; that anumber of armed Boers were on the other side of the hill, and that un- less the induna and his men discovered game in less than three days they would all be shot. Dear bought experience
of Boer methods frightened the Kafirs |
so that they set out, found the game, and drove it towards the Boer camp. — “Canadian Magazine.”
