EDITOR TRIBUNF.-I have been told
that news from the soldiers in camp was
accepted by all classes of people, and as
| am one boy from Frecland now in the
ranks of the greatest army organized
since the civil war | think a letter to
the people of my home town at this time
will not be amiSs, and | shall endeavor
to give an idea of the life of soldier in
time of war.
This field is sad remembrance of tho
late war. Its size is something stupend-
GUS when you come to look it over. A
more appropriate place could not be
found in this country for large camp,
The conditions of the place cannot be
duplicated. Nor can one form an opin-
ion OF its vastness until he looks it over
1t is fast becoming model camp, and it
is great experience to the boys who
never were real soldiers before, for the
difference between National Guardsmen
and real soldiers is very great, but you
have to have been IL member of both or
ganizationS to realize this. TO the plain
citizen who has visited friends in the
army and the National Guard camps the
difference cannot be seen, as all things
look alike to him, but to the National
Guardsman who has seen the change it
Is lesson to him and one he will never
forget. The discipline in the army is
greater and more uniform than in the
National Guard and as discipline makes
the soldier the National Guard cannot

Shakspeare's Knowledge.

It is not for n moment to be denied that Shakspeare's plays show an eS- trslorlinary wealth of varied knowi- edge. The writer was one of the keen est observers that eyer lived. Tn the woodland or on the farm. in the print ing shop or the ale house. or up and down the street, n0t the smallest detail escaped him. Microscopic accuracy, curious interest in all things, unlimited power of aSSlmilatlng knowledge. ale everywhere shown in the plays. These are some of the marks of what we call genius, something that we are far from comprehenling. but which experience has shown that books and universities cannot impart. All the colleges OF earth could not by combined effort make the kind of n man We call q genius, but such a man may at any mo ment be born Into the world. and 1t Is us likely to be Ill a peasants cottage as anywhere.
 There Is nothing in which men differ more widely than in the capacity for imblblng and assimilating knowledge. The capacity Is often exercised uncon- sciously. When my eldest son. at the age of 6, was in the course of q few weeks of daily instruction taught to read, it was suddenly discovered that his 4-year-old brother also could read. Nobody could tell how It happened. Of course the younger boy must have talk en keen notice of what the elder oDe was doing. but the process went on without attracting attention until the result appeared.-Atlantic.

water. At q little expense the Cape government provides an apparatus for the use of the farming community ani drilling operations are in progrtEs In nearly all parts of the country. II Is generally believed that there Is abund- ance of water at depth of from fifty to hundred feet, but the finds are few and weak. Unlike Australia there are no suhterranean rivers to tap. The hope of the farmer lies In the cnnser- vation of the rainfall, which, If not stored in dams. quickly runs off into the "slults" and ''spruits,' and leaves the parcbt1l earth but little refreshed. In many places the drinking supplies regularly fall short and the farmers are reduced to the thick, opaque con tents or q dam. In the remoter dis trfcts the Boers experience this acute ly. A BOcr recently called at an En- gliShman'S house while on q Journey and asked for drink. The English man had good supply and gave him sparkling draught. The Dutchman was greatly surprised and fin his kitchen "taIl" expressed himself highly de- lighted with such sweet drink, as he observed, "it had neither taste nor smell"
