The Paris doctor says that solution of one part piric and seveaty.tive parts of water will cure quickly the most serious burns.

Africa during the next century will be

tact with the center OF the civilized

liar condition Of things in south Az
RIGA. found in no other part OF the
continent, which as We look forward
along the coming century, satisfies Us
that Gere must be troublous future
in store for these colonies and states.
The worst danger think to be appre-
hended is from the stubborn antagon-
ism which exists between two such de-
termined races as the British and the
Dutch. Years do not appear to modi-
fy. but rather TO intensity, the incom-
patibility, Already they have lived
side by side under one flag for over
ninety years, but the feeling has been
more hostile OF late years. The south
African Bond (Boer) and the South Az
rican League British represent the
variance Of feeling existing. Though
the Beers are in the majority at pres
ent, time appears TO be In favor of the
ultimate predominance OF the British.
During the last six years the steam
lines took $4,000 people TO south Afri-
ca, and Johannesburg Kimberley and
Rhodesia must account for most OF
these. The next ten years at this rate
will place the British as numerically
equal to the Beers. and In twenty years
they will exceed the Beers. and by that
time the supremacy question wtll have
been definitely settled.

FUTURE OF AFRICA.
Black Continent Has been Divided
Among European Powers.

II IS a fitting time at the end OF the
century to exhibit Africa. Like poor
Poland. 1t has been fully partitioned,
though, unlike Poland, not torn limb
from limb. What political changes the
next century will bring In continent
which bas interested the world for
thousands of years cannot be foreseen,
but there is no probability that great
native negro kingdom VIII rise. The
control IS likely to continue where 1t
Is placed. in European hands. The
few states that may be called native
have no promise OF permanence. The
destiny of the two Boer republics is
absorption in British south Africa.
Mr.. Stead. It will be observed. Is very
confident OF this, and he has good rea-
son for his confidence. Independent
Morocco and semi-independent Trip
oil. on the Mediterranean, have no fu-
ture of their own. sooner or later
they will GO to swell the possessions Of
France and other European powers.
We must regard Africa, therefore, as
an appendage of Europe. The white
races which pushed back the natives
and settled and control the American
continent from Cape Barrow to Cape
Horn dominate all the other continents
and the black tribes OF Africa, as well
as the brown and yellow of Asia, are
subject TO their rule. The greatest OF
Asiatic kingdoms is in the process Of
decay, and its partition is already be-
gun. It SENS terribly unjust for the
white interlopers TO wrest two CONT
nents-America and Australia-from
the aboriginal man and make them
their own; to take another from the
Asiatic races and erect their standards
over it, and, finally, to take Africa
from the blacks and subject 1t wholly
to their will.
