WHAT A SIEGE TRAIN IS.

Wonderful Engines of War Yet to be Introduced tothe Boers.

The announcement recently made that a siege train was being mobilized for service in South Africa no doubt conveyed very little information to the non-military mind, as was shown a few days ago, when a writer in the London Daily Mail was asked, in all sincerity, “What is the difference be- tween a siege train and an armored train?

As a matter of fact, a siege train is the name applied to the complement of guns, ammunition and store waggons 'and men employed to conduct a siege. According to the “Siege Artillery Manual,” a siege train may consist of any number of divisions, heavy,medium | or light, according to the requirements | of the service.

A division, as a rule, consists of six— teen pieces of ordnance, exclusive of machine guns ; each division requires a | personnel consisting of four companies | of garrison artillery, with the foliowing staff: One lieutenant-colonel, one ad- | jutant, one quartermaster, two staff- | non-commissioned officers, and two | staff clerks, in addition toa total of | 596 officers, non-commissioned officers, and men.

In the present instance the arma- ment consists of the new 5-inch breech- loading howitzers throwing lyddite shell.

All siege guns and howitzers are fit- ted with special sights known as “French’s sights,” which enables them to be laid on an object that is invisible tothe gunner, With this advantage it is possible to place the battery behind a hill totally obscured from the enemy’s view, and to pound away until either all his guns are dismounted or the fort breached so as to enable the infantry to carry the place by assault

Siege gunnery has now arrived at such a pitch of perfection that there is absolutely nothing that can withstand the attack of a well-organized and well- equipped siege train. The shell fire is so accurate and searching, and the high explosives so destructive, that it ‘'s only a question of time in demolish- 'ing any defence that can possibly be erected.

By means of an observing instru- ; ment, invented by Captain Tancred, each shot can be accurately observed as bursting so many yards short or over the object thus enabling the neccessary ; corrections to be made for the next round to strike the exact spot desired and ensuring extreme accuracy of {ire

000,000. The Transvaal Refugees’ fund was on November 24 £116,000. Many of the contributors to the vari- ous patriotic subscriptions have given large sums. The largest payment by one man until ten days ago came trom Australia. The donor did not allow his name to be known. His gift was ten thousand pounds sterling. ‘This contribution has since been matched by an equal one from Sir Thomas Lip ton. Many subscriptions have been sent from the most distant parts of the empire and from English people in foreign lands. Kipling’s poem has been a great money getter. The London Mail bought it from the author and paid him weil for it. Kipling turned the money at once into the fund. The Mail then sold the other papers the right to republish and handed over the proceeds. A paper making firm sup- plied paper, Sir Arthur Sullivan set the poem to music, and the Mail sold copies of words and music ata shilling, filling orders at the rate of tens of thou- sands a day. Great singers have sung the poem and given the funds the pro- ceeds. Leading actresses have spoken the piece for the benefit of the fund. From the best theatres to the humblest music hall the poem has brought in money. Two weeks ago the net re- sult was $90,000, and it is now over $100,000, ali from one poem which has been much cut up by the critics. The London Telegraph, which is much given to “shilling funds,” started a Soldiers’ Widows and Orphan’s fund, and accepted gifts of a shillings and multiples thereof. A week ago over 1,000,000 shillings or $250,000 had been sent in to the Telegraph office. These are the funds which it is propos- ed to make available for colonial neces- sities as well as for those which arise in the mother country.

PILES

Too frequently overlooked, Dr. Chase’s Ointment a Prompt and Positive Cure.

The suffering caused by the intense itching and burning sensations of piles is only one of the horrors of this disease, for there is always great danger of piles developing into fistula, one of the most disgusting diseases imaginable.

Even the great danger and expense of an operation are preferable to running the risk of contracting this most loathsome of diseases.

But there is no necessity for a surgical opera- tion for piles. Dr. Chase’s Ointment is guaranteed to cure any case of piles, no matter of how long standing, or how aggravated the case may be, so long as piles have not become fistula,

It is only by rare chance that internal treat- ment will cure piles. But it matters not from what cause they arise, Dr. Chase’s Ointment will at once stop the itching and burning, and soun effect a perfect cure,

You can use Dr. Chase’s Ointment with fullest assurance that what has cured scores of thousands of cases of piles will cure you, For sale by all dealers, or Fdmanson, Bates & Ce., Toroate,

She gives much time to the pre- serving of her garden fruit, which she dries in a coffin that hangs from the kitchen ratters (a very old Boer custom —ihe spare cofin being ever in readi- ness should any member of the family chance to die) She deeply resents | new-fangled ideas and _ innovations, | and, it is said, quickly put her foot down when her husband, on his return from England, proudly showed his ac- quisition of one or two civilized habits from those verdome English.
