any knowledge of Portsmouth. and
heard Of another that did not know
whether the Natura, Bridge was made
of iron or wood Now we sincerely
hope the scribe" at Montgomery
White does no; belong to the above
class. but there is evidently something
wrong. for we have about thirty OF

Clever Device of a Chicago Woman to

Out at the Queen Anne flats there Is
an ironclad rule that no family with
children shall be permitted to take a

agent succeeded In making "a fair
showing, none the less. One day
while wondering IL he would receive
any more applications before the rush
season was ended large, portly and
red-faced woman dressed in black en-
tered the Office.
She wanted a fat and had inspected
the premises. She fancied the third
of a certain row and was willing to
make an advance right then. The
terms were agreed upon and the pa
pers drawn up, when the agent said:
T. "We cannot permit any children In
those flats. Have you any"
The woman sobbed aloud. She coyly
admitted to having had seven, but said
between her gaspsA 'They are all now
in the cemetery, sir"
The agent was sympathetic and con-
soling. The papers were signed, the
keys delivered and the new tenant de-
parted, wiping her eyes, while her
shoulders heaved with woe. The next
time the agent went there for rent he
was met by a bunch Of children who
clambered the stairs with him and
seemed very much at home. He went
to the fat on the third floor and was
admitted.

The dynamite monopoly Is an obstacle

The president may without trial expel
any Uitlander from the Transvaal.
He controls the cables and can delay

The Uitlanders pay more money In
taxes than is spent in the government of
the Transvaal.
The Uitlander has been disarmed and
compelled to pay for fort erected to ter

This, then, has been the status in the
Transvaal. The Boer, caring only for
farming, hunting and religion, narrow,
bigoted, but fearfuAy strong considering
his numbers, rules the Uitlander, three
times as numerous, and seriously hinders
the latter in his modern struggle for

Looking toward my feet, what was my
establishment to see rattlesnakes all
over the blankets. There were no less
than six of them besides the one that

in California, but the crotalus milarius,

belief among the Indians, notably
among the Greeks, Cherokees and

a rattlesnake all he has to do to prevent
fatality is to eat the snake. But never
discovered any virtue in this. The best
remedy is to Immediately bind thong
above the wound, so that the poison
cannot circulate higher. Then cut an
incision below the wound and squeeze
out as much blood as possible. Then,

In 1854 the Orange Free States were
also declared independent, but by both
treaties and conventions England retain
ed suzerainty.
There was trouble in 1881 when a
force of British was repulsed at Majuba
Hill, the incident leading to a revision of
the convention in that year and again in
1884. 1t is the latter which defines the
degree of authority reserved by England
under its suzerainty. and the contentious
over which are involved in the present
trouble. BY its terms the South African
Republic has full powers to frame and
amend its constitutions and administer
its internal affairs, but is prohibited from
