First EnveIope Ever Made.

One of the odd exhibits in the Brit
ish Museum, London, Is the first envel-
ope ever made. 1t Is a crude, hanc-
made affair, but constructed on lines
similar to those In use to-day. Up to
the middle of the present century mod
ern envelopes were unknown. Core
spondents folded their sheets into little
squares, sealing the dap with wax and
writing the superscription on the blank
back.

tically an agricultural and grazing
country and Its cities depended almost
entirely upon the Boer farmers and
stock raisers for their business. By
the discovery Of gold and diamond
mines, however, the influx Of English
and other nationalities was greatly In
creased. Foreign enterprise has aided
in the progress Of the country, which,
up to this period, had been far behind
other portions Of the world In railroad
building, manufacturing and the appli-
cation of science and arts.
Boers' First Reverse.
The first reverse which the Beers re-
ceived at the hands OF the English. was
when they abandoned control Of the
country around Cape Colony and
moved across the vaal. This "trek,"
or exodus, was In 1895 and 1886. and
constituted the founding Of the Trans
vaal. For nearly forty years after
they dominated the territory north of
the vaal to the LimpOpo River, al
though but few Thousand In number.
In fact, the white population In 1877 of
the Transvaal was but 5000. while the
blacks numbered near 100000 This
will give an idea Of the ability Of the
Dutch to govern the native tribes and
the success which they attained, for
nearly all of the latter were subject to
them. Several thousand remained In
Cape Colony, and these and their de-
scendants have always remained Boei
sympathizers.
The Beers have enacted laws almost

81. Louis, Mo-, June H-Despite
their efforts to entertain the visiting
Blks last week, the members OF the

cisms for what they had done or left
undone. In answer 10 these crit
cisms, David B. Aloe, exalted ruler Of
st. Douis lodge No. 0, has issued a
card in which he says:
"While 1t is impossible for a couple
of hundred local members to enter
tain 10000 visitors individually, we
are willing to assume fair criticism
for any errors attributed to MS, but
we are not willing and should not be
expected to assume responsibility for
those things which rre not under, but
beyond, our control.
"Nlmost every one Of the thousands
who were our guests last week has
declared the reunion just passed TO
have been the greatest in the history
of the order, and the numerous feat
ures provided for their entertainment
far in excess Of anything hitherto Of
fered" !"
