Private letters received by business
firms in London, having relations with
companies at johannesburg and Bulu-
wayo, disclose facts which the charter
ed company's officials will soon be able
to conceal. There is no longer col
ony nor colonists. Though the Mate
beles have been driven into the forest
and hill Businesses, it will take months
to subdue them effectively. While
security continues business projects
are impossible. Prospecting syndicates
and other centers, have ceased to OPP
crate. The colonists are Transvall,
anywhere southwards, where they see
a chance to live. The only traffic into
the colony is in munitions and provis-
ions for the troops.
Men who are not enrolled in the
fighting forces and all women and chill
dren are being assisted to emigrate as
a necessity from country where milk
costs twelve shillings per bottle and a
tin of meat about five shillings. All
necessaries that can be brought by
transport are required by the fighting

it ready for assimilation. Persons
suffering from some forms Of kidney
trouble will find that honey is much
more beneficial food for them than is
cane sugar.
In eating comb honey, many strive
to eject every particle of wax, fearing
that, as wax is indigestible, nightmare
and other troublesome consequences
will follow an indulgence in warH
biscuit and honey. 1t is true that
bread is more easily digestsd than
warm biscuit, as the latter is inclined
to pack" in chewing, but it nay sur
prise some to know that comb honey is
really an aid to the digestion of hot
bread or biscuit. The philosophy OF
the matter Is that the fakes of wax
prevent the packing" while the honey
readily -dissolves out, leaving passages
for the gastric juice to enter the mas,
of food. The flakes OF wax are i2di
gestible, that is true, but when warmed
are perfectly smooth and soft, and viii!

ONE OF THE RAIDERS.
Capt Hsaney, Of Dr.. Jameson'i
STAT. Returns to America
Refuses TO Talk Concerning his Part b
Attack on Boers-President Kruger
May Ask His Retcrn on Charge
of Treason.

Capt. Maurice Heany, the America
who was member of DR.. Jameson
staff and participated in the latter's in
glorious raid on the Beers in South Al.
RIGA in December last, has just arrived
in New York city from England. He is
the first of kat famous band to reach
this country. The captain was mel
aboard the steamship by representa-
tive of the press. IN reply to ques'
ton as to his connection with the 10
hannesburg raid Capt. Heany said: i
don't care to discuss the matter at all
have not been well during the voyage
and prefer to be left to pass on quietly
l have been married but recently. and
myself and wife do not wish to stir ur
or in any way discuss the events which
have occurred during the past few
months. 1t would be folly for me to
talk upon the subject. / am sorry fol
Jameson and the other boys, for they
seem TO be in a ticklish mess"
Capt. Heany took very active part
in Jameson's raid and is said to have
been closer to "Dr. Jim" than any
other man concerned in the military ex-
petition. He is accused of having car
ried letter from the reform commit
tee to DR.. Jameson the day before the
raid, and it was upon the receipt OF
this letter that DR.. jameson decided
upon the invasion of the Boer territory
The special train which conveyed him
to Jameson on this occasion is said &c
have been paid for by the British South
Africa company. Capt. Heany was
taken prisoner with the rest of the in
vaders, and embarked on the British
transport Victoria as such, but he was
at once given his release upon the plea
that he was an American citizen, and
when landed in England he left the ship
free man.
Capt. Heany comes to this country,
it is understood, to place himself under
the protection of the American govern
mept.
It is believed that President Kruger,
of the South Africa republic, will de-
mand the captains return on charge
of treason, but the request is not like
" to be granted.

type and that several parts, including
Genesis, the Psalms, Chronicles, Ezra,
Nehemiah, Ezekiel and Daniel will ap-

the critical German prose translation
of which was made by Prof. Wellhausen,
of the University of Gottingen. the po-
etical translation from this by Prof.
Furness-this latter, however, appear
ing only in the completed work. Three
other parts are in type. The English
volumes will be published by the print
ing company in Baltimore that does the
university work, new fonts of type hav-
ing been especially cast for the purpose.
The paper and presswork are to be the
finest obtainable, and the completed
work will be embellished with many il
Illustrations collected by Prof. Haupt
from the most authentic sources.
The three English parts already IN
type, besides those already named, are
Leviticus, translated by Canon S. b.
Driver, of the University of Oxford;

The Inglesido.

The ingleside, which is a bay or 70
cess in hte side of the room capable OF
receiving a hooded fireplace and usual
IL having windows and seats at the
side, is an exceedingly picturesque
feature of the modern halls. Like
most picturesque features, it is Il
revival. The old ingle corners
were famous seats in old manor
houses, and were probably the only
ones where the draughts that poured
i'll around door and through crevices
cid not reach. These recesses in large
balls with high ceilings did not extend
UP to the ceiling, but were much lower,
and the front over the ingleside was
furnished with a shelf for the display
of fine pottery or any curios. In a
sining-room the shelf was used for the
display of plate. In some recent houses
an ingleside is arranged under the
stairs. The outside of the house shows
the chimney displayed on the outside OF
a bay. or projection similar to a bay
window, but with windows at the sides
ouly. Upstairs above the ingle this
projection is used as closet, lighted
at the side. N. Y. Tribune.

Sleeves Protection.

Sleeves Protection.
Although the big sleeve is decried 81
much, it has brought us much to be
thankful for. But for it capes would
not have been brought to so great a per-
lection. Their beauties would have
been undiscovered, since in that case
coats would hold sway over all.
Capes should be all a-glitter with
beads or lined with fur. They should
be soft and dainty, to add a bewitching
look to any lady as she hides herself
within the carriage.
Fish-net does not seem the proper
material, and yet it is the foundation
for one of the prettiest capes of the sea-
son. White cloth is appliqued upon it
with gilt cord. The cloth is all a-glit-
ter with beads and pale-green silk
peeps from beneath the fish-net. A
band of white angora edges the cape,
and the lining and collar are of the
same material.
Another is dull-green drchesse satin,
with deep edging of chinchilla about
it. To match the fur a scroll work Of
steel beads is sewed on the satin. The
collar is of the fur and the lining pink
velvet.
AS in the illustration, many capes
have huge hoods. cut after an 18th CEN
tucy pattern. These hoods encircle the
neck and add quaint air TO the gar
mept.

ABUSE OF FRANK PRIVILEGE
Continued from Sixth Pase.)

general superintendent Of the railway
mail service asked assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department
how far the railway mail was obligated
TO accept from other departments mat
ter OF unusual bulk and excessive
weight having in mind boxes and pack
ages weighing from 200 to 800 pounds
each, then frequently shipped by the
interior department. The reply con-
tanned this passage:
THE law relating TO the general SER
vice limits the weight Of packages, ex-
cept books published and circulated by
congress, TO four pounds, but the act OF
March 3, 1879, changed this section so
as TO provide that certain books weigh
ing more than four pounds, and books
and documents published and circulat-
ed by order Of congress, and all official
matter emanating from any of the de-
partments of the government or from
the Smithsonian institute, might be
sent without reference TO weight. BY
the provisions of this act the interior
department has authority to send the
bulky and weighty packages to which
you refer"
This was seven years ago, and the in
terror department has been doing the
same thing ever since. The minimum
rate at which mail matter can be sent
from New York to Chicago is $50 a ton
in most favorable circumstances; and
how much the government would have
saved by sending its weighty and bulky
articles by the ordinary methods of
transportation may readily be seen.

Discovery Made by the Inheriting Niccs
OF Michigan Man.


Gerrit Metzinga, an eccentric old
man, who lived at Fillmore, Mich, went
TO Holland last summer and drew up a
will, leaving all his property to his niece
at Allegan. He died in August, and the
niece took possession, according to the
provisions of the will. She was much
surprised the other day, when she was
rummaging an old secretary, to find q
secret compartment in which was oveI
$500 in gold and paper money. Be.
sides this, there were three solid gold
head dresses for women. One was rich,
~ engraved and bore the crest of some
noble house in the Netherlands. There
were also rich old brooches, earriugt
and three sets of silver shoe buckles.
The niece will endeavor to trace out this

head dress.
