No doubt the result of these careful
operations is most sustaining and ex-
cellent soup, and one wonders how
many artisans or laborers get anything
better for dinner.
The recipe for "a hurried dinner is
much less elaborate; but If soldiers
opinions go for anything, 1t is by no
means bad one. It is as follows:
Cut your ration of meat into pieces
about the size Of a penny, but three Or
four times thicker Skewer them upon

BEGINNING OF ENGLAND'S END.

Prof. Wheeler Of Yale Sees the Down
fall of the British Colonial System
Prof Arthur Nj Wheeler of Yale, a
leading authority on European history
and the head of the history department
of Yale yesterday predicted the Down
fall Of Englands colonial system as a
result OF the Boer war. He said:
II cannot but look upon the present
troubles of the English in South Africa
as brought upon themselves and merit
ed They bungled other wars, such as
the American revolution, when they
had no need to. This Boer matter has
never been handled with diplomacy.
Had 1t been left to Salisbury 1t would
have been averted.
THE Beers have as much right to in
dependence now as we had in 1776, but
it will be fight for England now to get
what she might have had by peaceful
means. The South African problem
means the ultimate overthrow of Brit
ish rule in Africa, and the assertion of
independence by the native states. If
England loses much in Africa 1t means
trouble elsewhere for her
England is in position Of great
peril Just now as regards her colonial
possessions If all the blacks should
rise it would mean a terrible ending of

Cut the meat into pieces Of about

Put the fat In the boiler; when melted,

the crusading hero Jean de Brienne- for
seven long years of war and strain the
octogenarian emperor Of the east---was
at first hardly suffered to set foot upon
the coast april, 1889, as he came with
out an invitation on the occasion Of his
first visit. Though given so dubious a
welcome he managed to leave the coun-
try seven hundred pounds richer than
he entered it; and when he came a Sec
ond time-a penniless, fugitive beggar
who had been forced to sell the holest
treasures of Christendom, the cross on
which Christ had suffered and the
crown of thorns that once had circled
the Saviors head-he seems to have got

Manuel H., emperor of Constantinople,
had already started on a pilgrimage to
the west to beg the leading monarchs
there for aid against the Turks. His
progress was a long, triumphant march.
Wherever he went there was revelry,
and feasting. AT Venice he was lodged
in the palace of a marquis; at Padua
the citizens turned out with flaming
torches to escort him to his house; at
Paris Charles vi, rode out in state to
meet him. In England he received a
welcome such as never yet had been

Under this regulation not one carrier
in the New Haven office will be entitled
