WEST OF THE TRANSVAAL.
The Strange Land That fs Ruled by
the South African Company.


West and north of the Transvaal lie those
immense British territories which have
been assigned to the British South African
Company as it's sphere Of operations. Be
chuanaland-so called from the principal ma
tive race which occupies it's a high and
generally level country, mostly wooded,
though the trees are but small, and with
grass which is richer and more abundant
than that of the Transvaal. 1t is looked
upon as likely to prove one of the best
ranching tracts in the continent. Matabe-
leland and Mashonaland, farther to the
north, are equally high, but more undulat-
ing than Bechuanaland, with great swell
ing downs somewhat resembling the prair-
les of western Kansas.
They are bright, breezy countries, very
hot in the daytime, for they lie within
the tropic, but with nights cool even il
midsummer, and climate which, except in
the lower grounds along the marshy barhs
or the streams, is not merely healthy, but
lnVigorating. Plenty of rain falls in De-
cember, January and February, and 1t is
only In October, at the end of the dry sea-
son, that the grass begins to fail the
pastures. The subjacent rock is. as in Be-
chuanaland, usually granite; but here and
thee beds of slate and schist are found
and In these beds there are quartz reefs,
believed TO be rich in gold, and from which
great deal of gold must in days gone by
have been extracted, numerous are the
traces of ancient workings.
The extreme easterly part of Mashona-
land. where it borders on the dominions of
PORTUGAL, is called Mantcaland. This is a
country of bold mountains of granite mix
ed with porphyry and slate-a country the
loftiest peaks Of which rise 20 j height of
5000 feet above the sea, and where a COM
parat1yely abundant rainfall makes the
streams moro numerous, and fuller even in
the dry season, than are those of any other
part Of the great plateau. Here and there
piece Of high tableland, some 1000 feet
above sea level, offers an atmosphere of
rare salubrity, while a few miles farther
to the eastward, in the low grades which
slope gently to the coast malignant fevers
warn Europeans against any attempt to
settle, and make even a journey from the
sea to the highlands dangerous during
some months of the year.

Police Justice Morrison of Rockfort, ILL.,.
has hit upon a novel scheme for dealing
with drunkards. When such an inveterate
appears before the Illinois justice he looks
him over and says:
IF 1 let you go will you promise upon
your honor to report at police headquart-
ers three times a day to show that you are
keeping sober?"
The prisoner will promise to do anything
rather than go to Jail. He appears at po-
lice headquarters me rning noon and night
where an officer with a powerful nose for
whisky smells his breath. If he is sober
he is allowed to go bis way, but if he shows
traces of intoXication he is sent to Jail.
If he fails to report 1t is taken as a sign
that he las lapsed and he is searched for
throughout the city. When found he is
landed in Jail and made 20 serve out ten
days sentence. The plan is working like
