A city RniIt of zinc.

In the Transvaal, on the eastern
border of Africa. is the queerest viii
lage in the world-Belra, town built
OF zinc. The dwellings and outhouses,
the public buildings, the residence of
the governor, the barracks, the stores,
hotels. saloons. the music halls, are
all of zinc. The fever of speculation
and the greed for gold was so great
and the influx of immigrants so rapid
that the town was built in six months.

Waldorf Aston has lived in the at
mosphere of money so long that he
imagines everybody on ordinary
ground has conceived dislike for him,
especially Americans. 1t is not go.
If he were a little more human and
a little less exclusive he would find
that the average man is not malicious
or envious, but good fellow and
just one. And, after all, there have
not been meaner things said of him
in the newspapers than have been said
of every conspicuous person.

1t Is not improbable that the early
part of the new century will see all
distinction between Europe and Asia
as separate continents abolished. AS
a matter of fact, they are geographic
ally one continent, as a glance at the
map will show. They are now rapidly
becoming one politically as well. The
great Russian empire binds them in
one at the north. The British empire
makes Asia European at the south,
and in the Middle Kingdom almost
every day sees new acquisitions of ter
ritory by European powers. We are
within measurable distance of the time
when China, Persia and the few other
Independent states Of Asia will have
gone the way OF India and Turkestan.
Then, with one common ownership, as
with one common geographical forma-
ton, the two continents may we'll be
reckoned as one. "Eurasian" is the
term which has long been applied to
the great plain which extends over a
large part OF both continents, and also
to the Aryan race, which, originating
in Asia. Is now dominant in Europe.
A few more years may see the united
continents figuring upon our maps as
''Eurasia." What then will follow?

The boy king of Spain, according to
the London Daily Mail, is not loved
in Madrid. His presence in the streets
arouses no popular enthusiasm. At
times, when the guard is changed at
the royal palace, his troubled face may
be seen at a window, gazing out; but
no one cheers, and he remains almost
unrecognized. No hat is raised, or
other obeisance paid him by his sullen
subjects, when he rides abroad in mel
ancholy state! Among a more gener-
Gus people, his youth, his misfortunes,
a consideration of the troubled future
which confronts him, would at least
awaken pity. His manners. which are
placid, almost inert, have in them no
attraction. His very looks are dis
liked He is too blonde in hair and
complexion. HE is no Spaniard," say
his subjects of Madrid, and this
which is to them cause for reproach
will hardly be thus viewed by the
world at large.

According to Corporal Henry c. Ed

was recently interviewed in PittsburL,
Pa, American soldiers are in command
of some Of the insurgent troops in the
Philippines and are fighting their for

Der of the United States men were dis
honorably dismissed from our army for
various offenses. He said: They had
no money and could not get transpor-
tation home. Being banished from the
camps of the Americans, and not be-
ing allowed to stay in Manila, they had
no recourse but to go to the insurgents.

were better trained than the natives
