they thrown the stigma of declaring
war on Great Britain.
The text Of the Boer ultimatum was
sent with all speed to Lord Salisbury,
and dispatch box was sent to the
Prince of Wales, which is only done in
cases of special urgency.
The Portuguese minister to Great
Britain, Senior Several, called at the
foreign Office and held an interview
with Lord Salisbury, and his visit is
naturally connected in the public mind
with the alleged purchase by Great
Britain of Delagoa bay. A dispatch
tending to confirm the report of this
purchase comes from Lourenzo Mar
quez. 1t states that the British third
class cruiser Philomel Is at anchor 10
miles OFF the port, and Is supposed to
be awaiting the arrival of transports
and warships to pilot them into the
harbor. 1t is quite certain, however,
that the transports would not go to
Lourenzo Marqeuz unless the British
were about to fly their flag over the
port.

meet at the foreign Office on Friday

TO GROW FAT.
Eat Heartily neiore Doing to Fed

Here is good advice TO thin people
who want to grow fat, says Parsons
Weekly. 1t seems contrary to all our
early training. but Is full of good COM
mon sense. and comes from a promi-
nent physician. His suggestions are
as follows: IF you are thin and want
to put flesh upon your bones, eat be-
fore going 10 bed for the night. Physi-
ology teaches us that there is wasting
away Of tissue while a person sleeps
as well as when he Is awake, and this
being so, there should be continuous
nourishment. Food taken at dinner
or in the early evening is always d.
gested at the time Of retiring, and the
activity Of the process Of assimilation
continues until long after we are
asleep. II the tissues are not nour
ished. they are pulled. down by the
wasting process, and as a result sleep
lessness ensues. On a full stomach,
however, or with some food to sustain
the system, there Is a building I'D of
the tissue. Man Is the only creature
/ know Of who does not deem II proper
to sleep on a good meal. The infant,
in this respect, instinttively cries to
be fed at night, showing that food Is
necessary during that time as well as
through the day, and that left too long
withour II causes a discomfort, which
it makes known by crying. There Is
no need for rest in the digestive or,
gans, provided the quantity OF food
eaten Is moi above normal during the
t~wenty-four hours. Too long inter
vaYs between meals arc bad for the
stomach, from the fact that the cessa-
ton and resumption OF work of the
digestive organs tends to enfeeble
them. A moderate working OF the or
gans through the twenty-four hours is
much more beneficial. would advise
those suffering from insomnia to take
something to eat before going to sleep
always. A glass Of milk and bread,
or any digestible food will do"

game, Peter Burgess of Bristol. Many
years ago, when the world was young
or than 1t Is now, Livy described in
that wonderful way OF his how ele-
phants could be carried over a stream.
MIR. Burgess has q similar topie-how
elephants swim n river. at IL a great
sight to see a line OF elephants cross
ing a river with steep banks. They go
down slowly, striking the ground with
their runks before each step, and
never making n slip or miss, although
YOU feel every minute AZ II they were
going to take n header into the water.
Then they wade or swim, as the case
may be. and they swim beautifully.
not hesitating to cross half a mile OF
deep water IL need be. ! must say.
however, that the sensation Of sitting
on the back OF a swimming elephant Is
the reverse Of pleasant; you fancy
yourself on an enormous barrel which
may roll round at any moment and
take you under. Besides that, they
swim so low in the water that you arc
sure OF n wetting, which in India
means an excellent chance of fever.
Having crossed the stream, they must
climb to the top OF the bank, and this
IL the most peculiar operation of all.
Down on their knees they go. and with
trunk and tusks dig out a foothold for
themselves, and so, step by step, work
their way to the top. their position
BEING sometimes like that Of n fly
climbing up n wall. AS they reach the
top they give a lurch sideways and
shoot one leg straight over the bank,
then give a lurch to the other side and
shoot out the other leg In the same
way, which brings them into the po-
sition of a boy hanging by his arms
from the edge OF a roof. Then they
come to their knees, and, finally, with
a great scrambllng and kicking of their
hind legs, bring themselves to level
ground again. In spite OF these peril
Gus ascents and descents I never knew
an elephant to miss his foothold, al

About Sir Henry Hawkins.

Henry Hawkins, n OF the wittiest
and most noted judges of the day,

Is a man who believes In stern justice,
and always sentences criminals to the
full extent of his power. "Oh, my
lord" whined a swindler whom he had
just given seven years, "Ill never live
half Of that time!" The judge took
another look at him and answered:
II don't think 1t is at all desirable that
you should"
On another occasion the usual form
was gone through OF asking a prisoner
who had been found guilty II he had
anything to say. Striking a theatrical
posture. and with his right hand In the
air, the man exclaimed: May the
Almighty strike me dead II l don't

for a minute. Then, after glancing at

impressive tones: "Since the Almighty

part OF the public and Is careful to
note and to take hints from their i'm

to the practice OF Alexandra Dumas.
Like Dumas, too, he is not oversensi-
tive al to the fate of his prose, and
never h~esitates to cut his text when
necessary. Nothing escapes his notice.
He pays attention to even the pettiest
details. He tries the chairs. sees that
the doors open and shut readily, choos-

stery, studies the perspective from the
auditorium and mounts to the upper
galleries SO as to assur himself that
the public in the cheap seats can see

roles, and at every rehearsal acts the
entire play right through three or -four
times over. He is very sensitive to
