HOW HE WAS CAUGHT.

WINSTON CHURCHILL, WAR CORRESPON- DENT DESCRIBES HIS OWN CAP-

TURE,

I turned and ran between the rails of the track, and the only thought I achieved was this :—‘Beer marksman- ship.” Two bullets passed, both with- in afoot on either side. I flung my- self against the banks of the cutting. But they gave no cover. Another glance atthe figures; one was now kneeling to aim. Again I darted for- ward. Movement seemed the only chance. Again two soft kisses sucked in the air, but nothing struck me. This could not endure. I must get out of the cutting—that eursed corridor. I scrambled up the bank, The earth sprang up beside me, and something touched my hand, but outside the cut- ting was a tiny depression. I crouched in this, struggling to get my wind. On the other side of the railway a_horse- man galloped up, shouting to me and waving his hand. He was scarcely forty yards off. Witha rifleI could have killed him easily. I knew no- thing of white flags, and the bullets made me savage. I reached down for my Mauser pistol.

‘“‘This one, at least,” I said, and, in- deed, it was acertainty; but, alas! I had left the weaponin the cab of the engine, in order to be free to work at the wreckage. What then? There was a wire fence between me and the horsemen. Should 1 continue to fly? The idea of another shut at such a short range decided me. Death stood before me, grim, sullen Death, without his light-hearted companion, Chance. So [held up my _ hand, and, like Mr. Jorrock’s foxes, cried: ‘Capivy.’ Then I was herded with the other prisoners in a miserable group, and about the same time I noticed that my hand was bleeding, and it began to pour with rain. ‘Two days before I had written to an officer in high command at home, whose friendship I have the honour to enjoy:—‘There has been a great deal too much surrendering in this war, and I hope people who do so will not be encouraged.’ Fate had intervened; yet, though her tone was ful! of irony, she seemed to say, asI think Ruskin once. said, ‘It matters very little whether your judgments of people are true or untrue, and very much whether they are kind or unkind,’ and, repeat- ing that, I will make an end.

HAVEN’T HEARD OF THE WAR. ARE TEN YEARS BEHIND

rIMES AND HAPPY.

PEOPLE WHO THE

With hundreds of thousand of men at peril of their lives in South Afric:,

the news from the front occupying three-fifths of every newspaper, it seems hard to conceive of any intcli-

gent being who hasn't heard of the war. But there are plenty.

In fact, there are whole commin ties in Britain—small, but still co wmun?- ties—th:t knew nothing cf th En- pire’s struggle till quite Jateiy. It i only last week that a strangcr enteerd a small hamlet in East Cumberland, ard broached the subject of the war, to find that not asoul in the place had heard of it. There was only four- teen souls altogether, eight of them grown up, but it is extraordinary that even so few should be so vastly ignorant. The inhabitants are mostly shepherds and pig-owners, and it is their boast that hardly one newspaper a year enters the hamlet, which is eight miles from the nearest village, and that nota single letter has ever arrived there during its history.

Isolated cases of people who ‘don't know” are pretty frequent, even in England. Inthe wilder parts of Ire- land and Scotland, there are many of the Queen’s subjects who do not know we are pounding the Boers. This is, a little surprising to the average citizen who by this time has a feeling that we have always been at war, and always shall be, so full of it is the air. One

must remember that hundreds of peo- ple have never heard of Africa.

Abroad there are endless people who know nothing of England’s conflict; but in some parts, notably the South American Republics, there are entire countries who haven’t yet got the news. If you were to ask the average Chilian or Peruvian, drinking bitter coffee out- side his dwelling, when he thought the war would end, he would have no notion what you were talking about, and would tell you he did not know it had begun. But the chief Chilian paper, the Libertad, did get hold of the news the other day, and spread it abroad. But only the paper's few subscribers and their friends know, and many a Peruvian now young will live to a good old age and die without hearing of the Anglo-Boer war of 1899- 1900. News is not a strong point in those parts.

BADEN-POWELL.

_Baden-Powell has seen active ser- vicein India, Afghanistan, in South Africa three times previous to the pres- ent war, viz, in Bechuanaland in 1884, under Sir Charles Warren;in the Zulu war of 1888; and in the Matabele campaign of 1896, under Sir Frederick Car- trington. He was also through the Ashanti campaign when King Prem- peh was deposed, and of this and the Matabele campaign he has written entertaining histories. He has had numerous hairbreadth escapes. One of these was in the Matabele cam- paign, and is thus narrated by himself:— “IT had taken upa position undera tree when something moving over my head caught my attention. It was a gun barrel taking aim down at me, the firer jammed so close to the tree stem as to look like part ofit. Before I could move he fired, and just ploughed into the ground at my feet.”

It wasin the Zuiu campaign that Powell showed his ability (and agility too) in scouting, and subsequently in India he formed a_ body of scouts, whom he especially trained by night | marches and exercise inthe bush. ! His now popular work, ‘‘Aids to Seout- ing, Was written just on the eve of the present war. Among other of Powell’s accomplishments was that of writer of lighter “vers de societe,” and the fol- lowing, composed at Malta, is given as as aspecimen:—

I ne’er shall forget her, That girl of Valetta; The first time I met her I thought she was prime. But I managed to get a Peep through her valdetta, And thought that I'd better Get out while I'd time.

Between Annapolis Junction and Trinidad the first sever miles, up a stiff grade, was covered in six ‘nin- utes while the last five miles, ona down grade, was ac the rate of 102.8 miles an hour. ‘he theory on which these experiments are based is best exemplified in the fact that while a fast bicyclist, unpaced, will cover a mile in two minutes, a wheelman be- hind the shield of a locomotive and car had made the mile in less than fifty-eight second, Mr Adams con- tends that when the locomotive has broken a way through the air the! train behind it, like the cyclists, should

Pains in the small of the back, over the kidneys, are uSually due to de-

Rut there are other kinds of backe- ache, by far the greater proportion, that can never be reached by treating

ne kidneys. Pains in the shoulders, chrough the centre of the back, and in the sides are caused by a torpid ac- tion of the liver, and can only be driv- en out when the liver is made healthy and active,
