begin the erection of a new building
for the department of justice, which
promises to rank i'll architectural merit
with other federal structures. The con-
tract for the plans has just been award

1t is not probable that the Beers will
destroy the gold mines SO long as they
may be source of profit TO themselves
or an available object of negotiation
with the British When their hope of
success is gone. however, nobody IA
miliar with their character presumee
for a moment that they will not emu
late Samson and pull down the pillars
of the temple.
Throughout the mining excitement
of the past decade the Beers have re-
tanned their calm simplicity. They
claim that they would have been better
off had gold never been discovered in
their country, but nevertheless they are
willing to participate in the prosperity
that has been forced upon them. They
do not propose to give mp to newcomers
any right or privilege belonging to them
as previous occupants, and they are not
liable to hesitate at any extremity.
They look upon gold as the thing
which brought the British. Railroads
have fostered civilization which they
hate. and telegraphs transmit news Of
their dOings to a world with which they
are out of sympathy. If all these things
were wiped off the face of the earth,
could they not enjoy the pastoral life
Of the palmy days of their isolated ma
ton
Any idea that war between the Brit
ish and Beers would be of short dura
tion may be held in England. but is not
entertained here. For example, F. c.
Selons. the famous hunter and an All
thority on all matters pertaining to
South Africa estimates the duration of
the war mt more than IS months
The Boer republic may die, and SO
may the Boer people, but never has
there been and never will there be life
mort tenacious or death more expensive.

The chief industry of Geneva is the
manufacture of musical boxes. Thou
sands of men, women and children are
employed in the factories, one of which
was visited by traveller who gives
some interesting particulars about his
visit.
An attendant invited him to take a
seat. He did SO. and strains of delight
full music came from the chair. He
hung his hat on rack and put his
stick in the stand. Music came from
both rack and stand. He wrote his
name in the visitors register, and on
dipping his pen into the ink music
burst forth from the inkstand.
The manager of the factory explain
ed the process of making musical
boxes. a business which requires pa
tience and nicely.
The different parts are made by men
who are experts in those parts and
who do nothing else year in and year
out.
The music is marked on the cylinder
by a man who has served several
years of apprenticeship. Another man
inserts in the marked places pegs
which have been filed TO uniform
length. The comb. or set of teeth.
which strikes the pegs and makes the
sound is arranged by man who does
nothing else. The cylinder is then re-
volved to see that every peg produces
a proper tone.
The most delicate work of all is the
revising of each peg. 1t is done by
workman who has good ear for mu-
sic. He sees that every peg is in its
proper place and is bent at the correct
angle.
When the instrument is in its case,
an expert examines it to see that the
time is perfect-St. Louis Republic.

And charmed it into peace again.

My neighbors just as cold within.

The world was just as iul OF sin.

The world grew pure, the heart grew wsfrA

he can reduce the supply of yellow

mines?
The gold production of South Africa
is now estimated at about 500, 900, 600
a year, almost equal to the entire pro-
duction of the world in 1890. when the
total was only s11s, 500, 600. The mines
from which this vast wealth comes are
not all within reach of the Beers, but
most of them are To work havoc it is
not necessary to destroy the mining ex-

that one-half of the British children

while the first half of the Jews will not
