OF the DOOIS. lne DuSlIllau, WIZ
had for a long time suffered with
exemplary patience the injuries
heaped upon them, finding that no
retreat could protect them from
the cruelties of their oppressors,
soughtresources ofannoyance from
the desperate condition to which
they were reduced. The colonist
smarting under the retaliatory acts
of the Bushmen, formed the pro-
iect of extermlnating them. Ac-
cordingly about the year 1910,
they sent to the seat OF govern
ment the most vilifying repre-
sentation of the Bushmen, accus-
ing them of necessarily plundering
the property of the colonists.
In the year 1774, the whole race
of Hottentots who had not sub
mitted to servitude were to be
seized or extirpated. The priv
ilege of slavery was designed eX-
clusively for the women and chill
dren; the nen, whose natural
habits disqualified them for the
purposes of the colonists, and
whose revenge was probably
dreaded, were destined to death.
The decision of the government
was followed by an order for rails
ING three commanders, or military
parties, who under the command
of field-cornet, were to scour the
country, to surprise kraals, to
shoot the men, and to divide the
women and children among the
different members of the expedi-
ton. This horrid system con
tinued till 1894, when the colony
fell into the hands OF the English.
Hostilities did not cease for a day
between the Bushmen and their
implacable enemies, who consid
cred the murder OF a free Bush
man as a meritorious act. The
boor, when travelling across the
country for pleasure, or business,
massacred the natives as game or
noxious animals, and it is not i'm
probable that the number killed
by the regular commanders fell
short of those murdered by pri-
vate individuals. Barrow says, in
1897, that he had heard one of
these wretches boast Of having
destroyed with his own hands,
nearly three hundred of these
unfortunate Bushmen. The eff
feet of this system was to trans
form them from peaceable, con
tented and useful neighbors and
visitors into ferocious and vindic
tive enemies. ''They knewthem
selves" says Barrow, "to be
hated by all mankind, and that
|
every nation around them was an
enemy planning their destruction.
Not breath of wind rustled
through the leaves, not bird
screamed that was not supposed
to announce danger The de-
gradation of the Hottentot char
acter was the necessary result OF
such treatment.

Outing Gowns and Jackets.

The hasty woman who ordered her
outing gown at the first indication of
spring is already repenting, as she sees
the distinct changes made in the modes
in even that short time. The outing
gown started out with the REFER coat,
which was as jaunty as could be
wished, and perfectly proper for early
spring wear, but as an outing gown it
lacked much.
For instance, it could not be thrown
open with good effect it must be al
ways tightly buttoned up; such a stuffy
style for wear in warm weather. There
is such a well-groomed look about the
jacket that opens widely over the i'm
maculate shirt waist-it has such a
neat, trig effect.
A charmingly smart outing gown has
a skirt made in the most voluminous
style, of lightweight cheviot, in pale
tan and cadet blue plaid 1t is lined
throughout with fiber-chamois, giving
the skirt splendid stiffness, not likely
to diminish. The Jacket is jaunty

Hints to Housekeepers.

Scrape kettles with shell.
Steam an old fowl before roasting it.
To freshen salt fish, soak them in
sour milk.
Don't use your carpet broom for any
other purpose.
Fight sewer gas with chloride of lime
or copperas.
Remember that sulphur dissolves in
dia rubber.
A pinch of soda on hot stove drives
away disagreeable odors.
Hot water and hay is the right mix.
ture for sweetening iron and woodeE
ware
Steel knives won't rust if you dip
them in strong soda water, then wipe
them dry and roll them in flannel.
To remove pitch and tar stains rub
lard on the stain and let it stand for a
few hours Sponge with spirits of tur-
pentine until the stain is removed. If
the color of the fabric be changed,
sponge it with chloroform, and the
color will be restored.
To sleep in poorly-ventilated room
is to invite headache and depression.
Warmth during sleep should be OBJ
tanned from blankets, not from closed
windows. The window should be open
about three inches at the top and an
inch or two at the bottom.
To keep the hair in crimp take 2
cents worth of gum arabic, and add to
II just enough boiling water to dissolve
it. When it is dissolved add alcohol
until the mixture is rather thin. Let
it stand over night and then bottle.
Moisten the hair with it before curling,
and it will remain in crfmp on damp
days The mixture is not injurious to

Quaint Muslin Frocks.

Our grandmothers would be delight
ed with the dainty muslin frocks shown
for our summer wearing. They are
quaint enough to have been the mode
of half century and more ago, instead
of belonging to this era. Very few
plain muslins are seen, and then they
are so elaborately trimmed as to show
very little of the ground work. All
sorts of dainty quaint designs are
shown, ranging from the exquisite
Dresden pattern to great, massive
struggling designs, big enough to strag-
gle all over the bodice.
One of the prettiest and smartest of
these muslin frocks is with a sage
green ground work, run through with

After having benn punished by
whipping, he was banished by his
own people from the colony, as
unworthy to live in it. Barrow,
and M. Levailant, both very in
telligent travellers, bear the most
unequivocal testimony to the be-
nev olence and integrity of the
Hottentot character. DR.. Phil
lips says that he has never been
able discover from his intercourse
with the natives, or from any
other source, that they ever at
tanned any distinct notion of a
supreme being, or that any idea of
a future state of existence had at
any period prevailed among them.
Africaner, the most intelligent
native of South Africa who has
ever been known, declared that,
preyious to his acquaintance with
the missionaries, he had no idea
Of a spirit, creator, or supreme
ruler. By the God of the white
people he only understood some
thing under that name which they
might carry about with them in
their pockets. Neither the Het
tentots nor Bushmen have any
word in their language to express
the deity. The missionary,
Brownlee, says that the Caffres
have a word to express a supreme
| being, but none to designate a
future state.
The Dutch formed a settlement
in 1862. The site chosen was on
the southern edge of Table Bay,
and the party consisted of one
hundred males. The number " as
speedily recruited by fresh arriv
ais from Europe, and the popula-
ton has continued up to the
present to double itself within the
space of about twenty years.
Their weakness at first, perhaps,
contributed to confirm their peace
able department toward the
natives. The Dutch East India
company, under whose control
they were placed, seem not then
to have regarded the conquest or
occupation of the country as an
object worthy Of their attention:
1t was considered merely as an
appendage to Batavia, and a con-
venient station for watering and
refreshing the fleets engaged in
! their eastern commerce. Accord
| ingly, for a number of years the
intercourse between the old and
new occupants was conducted in
the most amicable spirit. AS the
colonists increased in number,
and began to feel their security
| and strength, and the difficulty OF
lsupplying their wants by barter
and fair purchase, their encroach-
ment daily augmented until they
were no longer tolerated. Posts
were formed in advance of the
fort, and productive patches Of
land began to be considered as
the property of the settlers. The
Hottentots gradually withdrew
from the cape. No limit being
fixed to the extension Of the
colony, the number Of farmers, OF
Doors, as they were called, rapidly
increased; and as they removed
farther and farther from the seat
}, of government, their trade with

There was a time when Minerva shut

schools have changed the old regime, and
today the young American, as well as
the middle aged and old Americans,
may drink deep at the Pierian spring

The professor, when he leaves the
classic college shades for the long vaca-
ton, only changes the scene Of his labOrs
and finds himself expanding the same
scientific truths in some mountain or
seashore retreat where the waving
branches or the tumbling waves fill in
the pauses with grateful monotone Of
sound. The advanced young woman,
when she packs her trunk IN June. puts
into it her notebook and lexicon along
with her tennis racket and summer
dresses.
All over the country these summer
schools have been organized under vari-
Gus auspices The sessions are held in
widely separated localities and last all
the way from two weeks to two months
The people vino attend them are Of all
classes and ages, but the majority of
students are young men and women
