unpleasant discovery will form the
subject of inquiry in Parliament goes
without saying"
No matter what the general opinion
may be as to the merits of the quarrel
between England and the Transvaal,
all the world believes that the former
will freely spend both blood and treas
ure to establish her side of the argu-
ment. The troops which she will put
into the field include many of the
most famous regiments that have ever
fought beneath English colors. This
very fact should count for something
in deciding the issue. The Boer, of
course, will just as cheerfully shoot at
guardsman or q Gordon as at a
meaner mark, but it should always DO
remembered, in measuring the rela'
tive value of the two armies, that while
the burgher has no regimental tradi'
tions and morale to preserve, the Briton
has both, coupled with devotion tc
his Queen, which should pretty nearly
match the patriotic ardor of his Dutch
antagonist.

Dragons, the Royal Scots Greys, the
Sixth Inniskillings, the Sixth Dragon
Guards, the Tenth Hussars, the
Twelfth I.ancers, the Royal Munster
Regiment, the Gordon Highlanders,
the Black Watch, the Highland Light
Infantry, the Liverpool Regiment, the
Eighteenth Hussars and the North

have records which would tell the
story of most Of the victories and not
few of the defeats achieved and
sustained by the British army since
that organization became an estab-
lished entity.
The Gordons, who are now in
Natal, have an old score to settle with
the Beers. In 1881 the regiment
was attached to Sir Evelyn Woods
column, about $50 men being detailed
to the small force operating under Sir
George Colley's command. They were
among the four hundred who scaled
Majuba Hill and vainly endeavored to
hold that position against the Boer at
tack. Majors Hay and Singleton and
Lieutenant Hamilton were wounded,
Singleton fatally and Captain Mac:
gregor and Lieutenants Wright, Mac
donald and Staunton taken prisoners.

Some persons have peculiar ideas of
how to cheer one up. A fond Brooklyn
mother was endeavoring the other
day at the breakfast table to comfort
her daughter " ho had not received a
letter for several days from her fance.
''I am sure he is forgetting me, "
walled Georgiapa, refusing to eat her
toast.
"Oh, I don't think so, DEAR" said
the fond mother. "He always used
to say he couldn't possibly do it"
"But T never believed him." ex-
claimed Georgiana, shaking her head
defantly. Hes so taken up with
the fall shooting that he thinks OF
nothing else."
Mamma tried once more. "Per-
haps his gun exploded and he has
been so injured that he couldn't
write" she said soothingly.
Georgiana instantly burst into
tears, and the good old mother was
keenly disappointed that her effort to
comfort the girl had so signally failed.

The excellent Boer craftsmanship,
combined with the fact that it is an
unwritten rule in the British army
that officers must always stand under
fire even though the men are lying
