Pretoria, Aug 31.-President Kruger
to-day announced to the Volksraad that
he had received a telegram from the
governor of Mozambique saying the de-
tained ammunition would be forwarded
Immediately. The entire correspond
ence between the imperial and the
Transvaal governments was read in
open session and President Kruger ask
ed the Raad to meet secretly tonight
for the purpose of considering a reply.
President Kruger also claimed that In
the convention of 1851 the suzerainty Of
Great Britain was distinctly stated.
But, he added, there was no mention Of
1T in the convention of 1894. He denied
the government had excluded the Brit
ish from political rights.
A member of the executive council
explained that when the Transvaals re-
uly to the joint nt-commission despatch
was ready the state attorney Interview
ed the British diplomatic agent, Con-
yngham Greene, in consequence Of
which the last reply framed held that
Mr.. Chamberlain's despatch was no re-
ply to theirs. Mr.. Green then cahled
to Great Britain certain suggestions, to
which Great Britain replied that If the
Transvaal made similar proposals they
would be considered on their merits.
This was the reply containing the alter
native proposals of yesterday.
The Transvaars note to GreataBritain
offering the five year franchise and the
other concessions, was strongly worded
and explained that the concessions were
made with sincere desire to settle all
differences, to put an end to strained
relations and to avert a disastrous war.
Therefore. prompt answer was re-
quested. The note of Conyngham
Greene in reply was conciliatory and
tantamount to an acceptance Of the five
year offer. 1t agreed to waive the sug-,
gested commission of inquiry provided
a representative, to be appointed by Sir
Alfred Miner, should be given facilities
in Pretoria to make an investigation Of
the franchise question and provided the
report OF such representatives should
prove satisfactory Otherwise the
Transvaal government was requested
to await further suggestions from the
imperial government before submitting
new proposals to the Volksraad. Mr..
Greene's note in conclusion suggested
further conference at Cape Town.

ought to be considered in the matter
And SO they should.
Children have many treasures to
which they attach immense Importance,
and without some of which they are
really lonely upon leaving home, though
the outing be made as enjoyable as pos
sible.
1t has been suggested that on such a
trip the wee ones should have trunk
all by themselves-a nursery trunk, to
hold books, dolls, and toys ad infinitum
1t should have fiat top, which will an
swer admirably for table upon which
the children may draw. cut, or paste to
their hearts content.
They should be permitted to make
their own selection as to what articles
are to go in their trunk, though perhaps
all those selected may not be taken, as
the capacity of the trunk will naturally
have limit. 1t will impart an added
pleasure to allow the little folks to help
pack their own special baggage, and
also to unpack their treasures upon
reaching their destination, and it will
also help to inculate love for order.

Rice pudding can be canned while hot

those who do not like condensed milk
will be pleased if they can some and try
it. Simply boil it and seal it and it will
keep. Soup can also be prepared ready

The new shirt waists differ from last
years mainly in being made of thinner

The knot is newer than the bow, but

MY Emergency Closet.
BY MRS. JOHN PHILLIPS,

BY MftS. JOf1N PHILLIPS.
Dear sister of The Home Magazine
you of the mighty middle class who
have to look after all the household af-
fairs yourselves-did you ever have un-
expected visitors drop in just at meal
time, causing you to suddenly realize
the fact that the dinner you had pre-
enough for dozen.
l had just such an experience when l
first commenced housekeeping; and, as
l stood in the kitchen wondering what
in the world l should do, l thought of
the proverbial "loaves and fishes and
sincerely regretted that the days of mi
racles had passed.
l only had one pie, not enough meat,
in fact not enough of anything, and
the nearest market half mile away.
How did have to stretch that dinner
to make it meet the demands of the oc-
casion! And during the hustle, hustle
and worry of the stretching" process
promised myself that l would never be
caught in such predicament again, and
l never have.
After my visitors had gone l set about
to furnish, what should call my "emer-
gency closet" In the first place I must
have meat of some kind that would
keep and be easily prepared when
needed.
After much thinking on the subject
concluded that canned meat would have
to fill the bill. thought while longer
and made up my mind that l could can
some myself that would suit me better
than the store article.
then purchased roast of beef boiled
it until tender and let it COOL Then
removed all the fat and pat it into
separate kettle to melt; then | cut the
meat in pieces small enough to go into
a glass can, boiled it until thoroughly
heated in the stock, then put it into the
can, poured in the melted fat and sealed
while hot. The stock was put into
separate can to be used for gravies and
soup. It kept nicely. Now when have
to prepare a dinner on short notice l
open a can of meat and put it in a pan.
set It in the oven and let it brown. With
