by Sir James Sivewright, Minister OF Railways
for Cape Colony and prominently identified with
the development Of railways South Africa
The distance from Cape Town to Cairo as tho
crow flies is about four thousand four hundred
miles Any railway that connects them can
scarcely lie loss than six thousand miles long.
There are already in existence two extensive
links IN the proposed system. road has been
pushed up the Nile nearly 10 khartoum. and
when completed - that point will be l.2UO or
1900 miles in length. The old Cape Town and
wellington road. which in 1873 had only about
sixty miles Of track has now been pushed north
eastward through Luawayo to Fort Salisbury
fully sixteen hundred miles from the Cape
From this point it IS proposed to build branch
road to Bera on the Indian Ocean. little south
% the mouth Of the Zanbesi, which Is now
under construction.
II will be seen. then that nearly one half tho
distance between the termini OF the great
continental line has been spanned. And the
financial political and engineering difficulties OF
completing the system will naturally be far less
than those that attended the first half Of the
work Mr. Rhodes is inten. just now on build

present terminus Of the southern road. with the
southern end a Lake Tansanyika- This section
would be 800 miles long. From Fort Salisbury

Clutter places are an abOmiualion
to a neat housekeeper. Do not allow
refuse Of any kind to accumulate.
Even old tin cans may become the
source of mould and decay. and thus
be a menace-to health. The danger
lies in the fact that they are generally
neglected after being opened, and
remnants of their contents are left to
generate mould and impurities. The
best way to dispose of old tin cans is
to put them in the ash pail, where they
will be purified by the ashes, aud can
be thrown away with them. If you
wish TO save these cans to paint for
flower pots, wash them out at once
aud dry them. Old leather and auy
animal matter like old wooden can be
buried with lime aud soda, and will
soon form valuable fertilizer. There
is a place for everything in a we'll
ordered house, and there need be no
dangerous clutter places il everything
is put to use. Take special care of
anything which will engender mould.
If you have not time to put this to
the proper use by burying it. burn it
where the odor will not offend the
nostrils, and use the ashes for a fer
tilizer. No place makes more dan
gerous clutter place than the cellar.
Here mould and impurs germs grow
very rapidly il the damp, coll air.
Physicians believe they have traced
cases Of diphtheria to apples sto ed
in such cellar and handled by chill
dreu. New York Tribune.

When black lace has lost its fresh

and little melted soap. Then pre-
pare a deep blue water, and mix with

this mixture, squeeze lightly with the
hands, and then pin the lace out on a

ABOUT ENVELOPE ETIQUETTE.


The latest fad with the ultra-fash-
ionable is the absence Of the envelope.
We have gone back to the days of the
olden times, when the red waters and
the sealing wax and the folded paper
were all that custom demanded or
knew. The modern or recalled fash
ion has substituted the daintiest tinted
waters to match the paper. heliotrope,
robins egg blue, cerulean lilac. fawn or
cream, for the mucilaged flap of the
envelope. One must write on big
sheet II it is a letter; on the smaller
size If notes, invitations, etc; fold and
seal. and then a wafer may be added
for extra strength. or the seal alone
will answer. IL one desires. Sometimes
the paper is folded like the cooked hats
or the dainty squares. which not even
the curious postman would trouble to
daily with, and then, If one will, the
seal and wafer may be dispensed with.
Do you want to know how to fold these
dainty misslyes? Then Just ask grand
ma. / warrant she has not forgotten,
for. if all's true that's said. she had
plenty OF them in her younger days.
Just ask her. She'll deny her billets
doux at first, no doubt. but she'll be
pleased just the same to recall them
and teach you how they came to her.
The envelope is a barbarism evolved
by a suspicious inventor, or maybe by
one who was practical rather than
artistic. However. fashion moves in
cycles, and the cycle OF the envelope is
passing. If you intend to adopt this
new style Of sending letters be sure
that your paper is heavy weight
enough to stand the journey, and y
you receive one in turn do not

VESSEL OWNERS
CLAIM DAMAGES
Property Captured by United
States Men-of- War.
CUBANS CLAIM NEU TRAllIY
Three Schooners and Sloop Were Fly
ing the Spanish Flag Judge
Locke Will Submit Decision
CUBANS CLAIM NEUTRAllIY

New York, October 25.-Judge J. w. Locke
of the United States circuit court for the
Southern district of Florida neid near
ing in the federal building today on The
claims held by owners of four vessels cap
tured by United States men-of-war off the
Cuban coast i'm the Spanish-Ameriean war.
The claims were made that these yes-
sells, iuhe schooners Pireno, Matilda and
Threshermanos, and the sloop Sofia were
the property of Cubans, who were nom
contestants. The four vessels were cap7
tured shortly after the outbreak of the
war, were taken to Key West as prizes,
condemned and sold because no claim for
them was made. This decree of condemna-
ton was afterward opened to allow uhe
owners to put in claims
Counsel for the claimants claimed that
as the owners of the captured vessels were
Crbans by birth and sympathy and That
they were neutrals in the war between this
country and Spain; that The vessels were
not properly liable to capture even though
they were flying the Spanish flag, as at the
time the capture was made war had been
declared and the owners and captains of
the vessels were using the Spanish flag as
a matter of protection.
Judge Locke will submit his findings to
the secretary of state.
