then carefully extinguish the burning
end and place the cigar away in some
corner of the house.
'The next morning see them having
another five-minutes' smoke, and these
cigars actually last for over two days,
being taken in homeopathic doses at in
tervals of about two hours. Finally the

Screens are Useful,

The utility of the screen is indis.
pensiable, being invaluable for
many purposes, whether 1t be in
the kitchen, drawing. room or bed
room. 1t may vary in form as
much as any other article of furni.
ture, according to the use to which
it is to be put. A folding screen
OF two, three, or even four leaves,
would be found to be most desir-
able for all practical purposes, and
such frame may be procured at
any furniture dealers in an I'M
finished condition, so that the
panels may be added at home to
suit ones taste.

dispatch received from Buluwayo re.
ports safe arrival of the coach, indicat-
ing the roads are still open. It is felt
the greatest danger to Buluwayo, un-
less the natives should muster in
crushing force, Is that Of possible
running short Of supplies Of food and
ammunition. The road for twenty
miles south Of Buluwayo runs through
q difficult and dangerous country, and
Il the Buluwayo forces are shut up in
the town and unable to patrol the
road from Buluwayo to Mangwe, fifty
miles south, it will, it is believed, be
impossible to keep the road otsn and
to get provisions through.
An official dispatch received from

ing, not only on the north, but on the

looting parties which boldly appear

FOR IRELAND RELIEF.
BalfOur Introduces q Bill inYthe
English COmmons-Ire.
land Relief.

LONDON. Especial. -Balfour,. chief
secretary for Ireland, introduced a
new Irish land bill In the commons.
It Is Of much wider scope than John
Morleys when he was chief secretary
for Ireland Of the late liberal govern
ment, and is upon the principal Of
purchase by the occupying tenant as
being the ultimate solution 'cf the
land question. In introducing the
bill Balfour said the government be-
lieved the land question was at the
root Of the agitation for home rule.
The bill facilitates purchase Of hold
ings and prevents losses from having
rent levied on his improvements. It
embodied some Of the proposals Of
1895 and modified others. They pro-
posed the tenant should be deemed,
on payment Of two years arrears, to be
in just possession Of his holdings,
the landlord to remainder Of the
arrears in the ordinary way. ..C0ntinu-
ing, Balfour said the governmentlhad
decided to not alter the statutory
term of fifteen years for fixing fair
rents. The bill, Balfour said, extended
the powers Of the congested district
board, enabled 1t to borrow to the ex-
tent Of 100000. With regard to
evicted tenants, he said the govern
ment had already declared they could
not consent to use public money, be-
lieving that aid should come from
private sources; but they are prepared
to re-enact the clause Of the land act
for one yerr, and SO act AZ mediators.
Balfour concluded by saying the bill
was an honest eudeavor to facilitate
substitution Of peasant ownership for
dual ownership.

Cape ''Boy," all we'll armed; but they
probably rushed into the midst Of the
natives which killed Hammond Farm

The Times has letter from Johan-

patched up now, however, it seems
hardly possible to avoid trouble In the
future. Racial war will be the popu-
lar cry and all the Beers In South Az
RIGA would join In defense Of Trans

quite inconsistent with any other ex-
PLANTATION than that war Is considered
imminent. Large quantities of can
