NOTES AND COMMENTS

eo

— Some sé sation is Causedin diplomatic circles at Petersburg by the statemeni thut the British ambassador there had a pri- vate audience with the czar in connection with eveuts in South Africa.

—The action of the Boer authorities in granting only part of the concessions re quested by the United States Government in behalf of the British prisoners at Pre toria has intensified the feeling in official circles in Washington growing out of the manner ia which the Boers have treat<«d the humanitarian overtures of the United States. The Boer authorities have totally ignored the request of the United States that the American consul! at Pretoria be permitted to distribuce among the prison- ers money with which to buy delicacies and tobacco.

—Those who think that the military etrength of Britain is not sufficient for the emergency are happily laboring under a delusion. Here are a few figures

Why do the people throng the streets ? Wi this noise avd bustle ?

The ce oak y tolk are driving in, And my, how they do hustle.

The stores look bright, as stars at nig at And business now ts humming;

Why all this stir? O don’t you know, ‘Tis Chri-tmas that is Coming.

To market, from her country home, Cowes the fair comely maiden

With turkeys, geese, and ducks also, Her ba | heavy laden. she chmb the e airs, her burden bears, And emile- as sweet ag boner, ] For she k.ows we want her geese, And a he wants our money. : : t tneir baking done ’ their buy' ng ; Pney’re eure to think ot something elee, Some preity thing espying.

A pretty sleigh, or booklet gay, A dol., or set of dishes, A os book, or Christmas card With pictures and good wishes.

O, there ie one thing helps to make This life of ours worth living,

It ia the yoy and nappe ness, ihe blessed )y of g ving.

Ome timely gift, some Sos to lift From hearts in sorrow grieving ;

O yes, we know that giving is More bleesed than receiving.

Then let us all this Christmas tide Our hearte with love o’erflowing

Thank our Dear Lord for aj! the gifts He is on us beatowir Pv.

May joy and mirth, bask o’er the earth, And drive away dull sorrow,

Soon shall we hear the caoildren say, ‘Christmas will cor to-morrow.’’
