In the Cape Colony Parliament.

The majority of both houses are Dutch,
and many of them understand English very
imperfecily. They are elected by ballot, ac-
eordlng to the law Of the colony, in the viii
lage IL which they live, and as they are

and days of travel over the ''veldtn in their

some cases these wagons are staked out In

dwelling place in which the owners family
lives, and 10 which he returns nightly TO
rest after his days labor in wrestling with
his ancient enemy, the English.
Daring q sitting OF parliament many Of
these Dutch members become tired and

"The magazine has come to he the path-
way that leads into literary society," said an
editor OF "A leading periodical to the writer
yesterday, but the pathway is long and
rough one and unless the prodder is AMPLY
provisioned before he begins his journey, he Is
likely TO he starved out on the route. There Is
no subsection in which there are more gener-
a ly mistaken ideas than ON the remuneration
OF literary work in magazines There is a
popular impression that the well known con-
tributnrs earn princely incomes by their
articles. People have heard 50 much about
the $4,000 year which Mr. Howels gets for
his work IN Harper's, that they think all the
better known magazine writers receive some
thing like the same amount for their work.
But nothing could lie further from the truth.
! am quite sure that the contributors, whose
names are seen oftenest in the periodicals, do
not, ON an average, earn 81 900 year from
this kind OF work, and that much only by
persistent labor.

observers ut that time by reason of her
ability in song ana dance. and IL seems
that her versatility has scope sufficient
to accomplish whatever she may un-
