Mr.. Hillegas, on that occasion, asked
President Kruger to tell him concerning
the Beers ability to defend themselves in
case of war with England. Kruger was
guarded and referred Hillegas to Commits
sioner of War ,Smidt, one Of the heroes
Of Majuba Hill. AS Smidt proceeded Kru-
ger frequently nodded assent to his utter
ances Smidt said:
at is contrary TO our national feeling
to engage in war, and we will do all in
our power to avert strife. If,however,
we are forced into fighting, We must de-
fend ourselves as best we are able. There
is not one Boer in the Transvaal who will
not fight until death for his country
We have demonstrated our ability several
times, and we shall try &c retain our rep
utation. The English must fight us in
our own country, where We know every
rock, every valley and every hill. They
fight at a disadvantage in a country
which they do not know and in a cli-
mate to which they are strangers. The
Beers are born sharp-shooters and from
infancy are taught to put a bullet in a
buzzard's skull at a hundred yards. One
Boer is equal in war in our own country
to five Englishmen, and that has been
proved a number Of times. We have rug
ged constitutions, are accustomed to an
outdoor life and can live on a piece Of
biltong Gerked beef for days, while the
queens soldiers have none of these ad-
vantages. They cannot starve US out in
fifty years, for we have sources Of prov
ender of which they capnot deprive US.
We have Notifications around Pretoria
which make it an impossibility for any
army of less than $1,000 men to take, and
the ammunition we have on hand is suffi-
cient for a three years war. and not until
every Boer in the Transvaal is killed,
will we stop fighting If they ever begin
Should war come, and 1 pray that it will
not, the Beers will march through Brit
ish territory 10 the Cape Of Good Hope or
be erased from the face of the earth
The book is full of these glances of
Beer opinion and Boer confidence. It is
a handsomely printed book, generously
illustrated and has a map of South Africa
which the reader viii find Illuminating on
present events as well as those recorded in
the book.
The work is published by D. Appleton
& Co. of New York, and may be obtained

A visit to the studio with It's walls hung
with beautiful pictures, inerspersed with
statuary and quaint and curious bric-a-
brac, intensi1es a love of the beautiful,
and impresses one more deeply with the
Importance Of art in a liberal ducation-
Too little recognition is given by parents
to the benefits of such study for their
children. As an illustration, drawing
serves not only to develop the aesthetic
qualities, hut the reasoning faculties as
well, it requiring purely mental processes
for its requirement The interest shown
and the results attained by the classes in
drawing among the smaller pupils, attest
the practicability of this branch OF study.
Il accordance with the best judgment,
drawing has as necessary a place in a
course of study as geography or gram
mar, as is shown by the fact that most
schools place drawing in their Curriculum.
More people each year are realizing the
value of art, which the increasing inter-
est and attendance in this department
proves.
Miss JekylPs annual exhibitions are
events of much interest to the lovers of
art in this city. At these times her
studio which is always open to the pub
