BOER FARM HOSPITALITY.

The average Dutch farm is a long, low
rooted cabin stuck in the middle of the
Neilt, says the London Mail. Here. With
his tribe of children and Kahir servants,
lives and dies the Boer farmer.-His herds
and cattle are his only care; his onlyliter-
azure the Bible; his only recreation rid
ms, smoking or niger driving, the last
being by far the favorite Boer sport.
A bowling chorus from the gaunt kafil
dogs Sreets the visitor or Denighted ira
Weller. Alone OF the veldt in a sparsely
populated country, the Boer is. OF course,
hospltab'e, as men in such circumstance
always are and always have been.
The family troop out to see the travel
Ter. There is the stalWart, weather beat
en-, rough father, his ponderous, %corpulent
VIE, ana MS dozen or so children. With
each the traveller shakes hands, and he
is then nshered into the house.
a bowl of water is brought to the guest,
Being a traveller he produces his soar
and washes. The father, taking the bowl,
throws a small quantity of water on his
face and wipes it off with the towel. In
the same water the whole family of IL
or IA likewise wash themselves. They
have no soap, and the traveller>ceases to
wonder at the pronounced dirtiness of all
the Beers he has met.
For the evening meal the cloth is laid
Oh the table, and a sufticiency of bowls
are set on plates. The mother brings
in a big basin of milk and a dish of hard,
crisp bread, Or "Boer biscuit as it is
called. A long Dutch grace is pronounce
ed by the father. Then by the light of a
single talloW candle supper is eaten.
For the father and visitor there is a
small piece of boiled mutton. If the
hungry traveller consumes his small
ration OF meat before his host has finished
his portion the Boer will courteously offer
what meat lie has not eaten. Yet the
Boer is a wealthy man, usually possess
ing hundreds of heads of cattle. His
whole life is one strange contrast Of pov-
crty and plenty.
A long Grafton marks the conclusion
of the meal. and a move is then made for
bed. The signal for reti{:ng is the bring
ing round of a bowl of water for each
person 10 wash his feet in. Shoes are
taken off, and father and mother. boys
girls, all use the same water.
Then. after he has kissed each of the
the guest is shown to his room.
many farm houses boast bed
rooms, with huge. high wooden beds. But
it was. and still is, the custom at many
for the whole family to sleep on the
floor of the living room.
Goat and sheep skins are laid on the
floor. Everybody sleeps in his or her
clothes. removing only the velt-
No Boer ever undresses.

DUTCH STORY Of ELANDsLAAGTE.

London Chronicle A reader in Dord-
recht. Holland. sends us a translation of
a long letter from a Dutch volunteer who
was taken prisoner at Elandslaagte,
which has appeared in the Niewe Dotter-
damsche Courant. The correspondent
puts the Boer strength at ass. as against
the British 900, but we presume he is
speaking of his own commando only.
I'VE drove up to a kopje," he Writes,
"diSmOunted on a place where the horses
were safe, climbed the hill. The
British) artillery began firing heavily.
After twenty minute one of our poor
guns was disabled. In the meantime we
opened our musketry fire on the advanc-
ing infantry, which fired heavily. In
these moments the greater part of the
men of Fordsburg and Johannesburg re-
treated, Notwithstanding our commander

Dutchmen are still here The advancing
infantry opened a heavy fire on oar re-
naming three hundred men. / fired lying

others having retreated without me per-

bursting shells. The only men in the

kept waiting, while some shells covered
me with mud. At last the artillery firing
stopped. and l understood that the in
fantiy had reached the top of the hill;
again | heard the whistling of the rife
bullets. l saw the infantry at 200 yards
distance, n began to fire my last cart

seemed that they fell by two or three at
one shot.
My cartridges being at an end / re-
treated. and now the bullets flew around
me, and | heard nothing else but the
striking of them against the rocks. After
two minutes l reached the slope. That
l remained unhurt in these two minutes
is most wonderful. Reaching the top
again l met another regiment of English
infantry, and all was over. our men re-
treating in the valley below, surrounded
by cavalry. | had nothing to do but sit
down and wait. The English were with
me in a moment and took my gun. Nine
We're taken prisoners with me. Thirty
four were taken prisoners while retreat
ing. The total prisoners We're 1SS.
The English soldiers treated us like
gentlemen. They gave us drink and
shared their bread with us. In PETER
lnaritzburg things changed, and we were
treated as criminal prisoners. In Trans
vaal the prisoners of war are much bet
ter treated. Cur defeat will not affect the
great cause. as the following day a strong
commando retOok the same position. If
there has been made any fault, it is the
occupation OF q position so dangerous
by too small q commando"

A ID ON

In sentencing Levi Moore to ninety
nine years in the penitentiary Judge J.
W. Wofford, of the criminal court, made
some remarkable statements. says the
ktrs9s city correspondent of the st.
Louis G}ohe-Danlocrat. Among other
things he SAID:
"Nhen YOU go down to the p~enitentiary
behave yourself. ard some fool governor,
who wishes to distinguish himself for
philanthropy. ~be2evolence ard kindness,
may pardon you. Yours is an e~xtraordin-
airy case, ard some governor may think
he can become distinguished by pardon
Ing YOU. Therefore the jury did you a
great benefit not to hang you. They have
given you q chance to be pardonea.

rors seeking to become heroes by par
doning nlurderers and criminals IN this
