Many of the dead had their faces turned in the direction of the sinking sus, Their spirits were sinking atthe same time, I reckon.

“Over the flying hospitals hung the awful smell of chloroform. Saws were buzzing there over bones, knives sharp ened and draughts concocted in the open air. The sentinels and outposts shot vultures by the dozen without driving all away. Thank God, the hu- man hyenas of the battlefield were missing, though there are not enough people in this. neighborhood to yield these outcasts that in civilized Europe abound.

“The number of dead and wounded Boers was at least four times that of the English, but these Boers had wast- ed no sentiment in making their exit outof the world. No letters were found with the dying and wounded ; no photographs. The Boer strikes no attitudes ; his heroism is blunt. but un- picturesque,”

THE ARMY OF THE BOERS

WHAT ARE ITS STRONG POINTS AND ALSO ITS WEAKNESSES.

Is the Boer a first-class fighting man ? He has yielded to a superior intelli- gence and, perhaps, a deeper determ- nation at Glencoe and Elandslaagte ; but in no engagement has he proved himself a contemptible foe in courage or in tactics.

Mr. Douglas Story, editor of the late Standard and Diggers’ News, discusses the Boer as a fighting man in the Lon- don Daily Mail. He says:

The strength of the Boer forces ts an unknown quantity. Shortly before the outbreak of hostilities I recelved a cable giving the Field Cornet’s returns at 52,000 men capable of bearing arms.

VIOLENT

HEADACHES

Accompanied by Indigestion and Constipation cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills

From Bath, Ont., comes the particulars of @ remarkable cure effected by Dr. Chases Kidney-Liver Pills. Mr. Jos. Gardiner was for'fflly years the victim of indigestion, cone stipation, and violent headaches. Nothing seemed to have the desired effect until he be-

an the use of Dr. Chases’s Kidney-Liver Eis, and they effected a complete cure. Mr. Gardiner writes :

«I have been troubled for over forty years with indigestion and constipation, would go for two weeks atatime. At intervals I would be taken with violent headaches. I spent dollars and dollars in vain, and was finally ad- vised to use Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills, and must say that they are the only remedy that gave me permanent relief. I would not be without them for anything.’

Uitlander critics—-and published comment has been alraost wholly con- fined to these—have judged the the who into Johannesburg and_ the mining camps along the Rand. But these, are no more representative of the nation than the Hooligans of Black- friars and Lambeth are typical of the* great mass of the people throughout the length and breadth of England. The great mass of the nation is to- day, as in 1880,a people of simple habits—gazing wide-mouthed at a train and fearing the wrath of God as chastisement for a street-lamp or a telephone. One sees them upon the veld, trippling lankily on South African ponies, caring naught for anything be- yond their sheep, and acknowledging

VICTIMS OF THE WEATHER.

Georgian Bay District Thankful for Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Kincardine, Dec 4.—Tbis month has been the worst in years io the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay disiricts, Victims of rkeumatiem who probably keep a closer tab ov the climatic variations than otber, people are all loud in their assertions as to) this season being a record breaker for dampness and raw biting winds. If these good people instead of keeping tabs on the weather would follow the example of, Herbert Brown, of Watson and Malco!m’s Furniture Factory, Kincardine, they would be conferring a blessing upon them~ selves.

Mr. Brown eays, “I bad been feeling very bad with backache from my Kidneys, (Lumbago, a form of rheumatism.) | have taken three bexes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and the pain has left me.”
