EDUCATION OF THE BOER.
The Wonderful Workmanship of the
Boys and the Way in Which They Are
Kept in Constant Practice.

The Wonderful Workmanship of the
Boys and the Way in Which They Are
Kept in Constant Practice.
''Our land; the one and only one we
know Of and care for, wish to know Of
have any tie or connection with"
Such is the patriotic creed of the South
African Beers. They stand unique among
the European races who have settled in
far-off lands, for they have neither love
nor longing for the country of their an
cestors Their sole wish is that they may
live and die in the land that they have won
and kept by more than 200 years of sturdy
lighting against savage and civilized foes.
The first Beers went to South Africa
from Java in 1852 and thirty-five years
later their numbers were augmented by the
HuguenotS, who were driven into exile
by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
From these has sprung the sturdy race
that has successfully resisted English at
tempts at conquest for over a hundred
years, and which has produced the man
who has just out-witted in diplomacy the
shrewdest of English statesmen.
Probably there is no more hospitable and
yet bigoted people on earth than the Beers.
A man may land at Cape Colony, it is said,
and travel many miles without spending
cent of money, for he will find everywhere
cordial and generous welcome.
The Dutch household is a patriarchial
one and nowhere else in the world are
the parents more reverenced and obeyed
by the children, even after they pass mid
die life. With few exceptions the Beers
are community of stock farmers, and
though no other place on earth is SO rich
in diamonds and precious metals as the
Orange Free State and the South African
Republic, which they inhabit, yet they
never engage in mining
One of the principal parts of Boer boy 8
education is in learning how to shoot, and
1t is thus that this people have become
the greatest marksmen in the world Long
ago, when game was plentiful, it was the
custom for the boys to be handed a rifle
and told to go out and kill their supper
But this is no longer practicable. and
here it is that the wonderful prescience
of President Kruger shows itself For
this willy old ruler decreed years ago, fore
seeing that as the game grew less, rifle
practice would fall into disuse, that tar
gets be set up and shot at each day.
The Dutch Reformed is the established
church of the Beers. At the festivals of
Christmas Easter and Pentecost, and also
in October, the Holy Communion is ad-
ministered, and on such occasions the
whole congregation is expected to be pres
emit.
AS a consequence. the whole country
for miles around the church is wellnigh
depopulated of its white inhabitants Elk
cept on these occasions the Beers whose
farms lie far out on the veldt never get to
church, contenting themselves with the
services which they hold in their own
homes.

MANICURE TOOLS

ming the nail to shape and size
required. After that the nail is
smoothed with the file to remove
roughness. The emery paper is next
rubbed crossways over the nail to re-
move all loose or rough particles and
for the purpose of making fine
smooth edge. The scissors should be
of the best quality; cheap cutlery is
never an economy; for it soon loses
its edge. The scissors bought for less
than $1.25 or $3.50 are not likely to
be satisfactory for great length of
time.
Burnishers cost from 25 cents up to
$150. One may give almost any price
for separate tools; they are celluloid
mounted in silver, ivory, mother of
pearl and even gold, which, of course,
makes their value vary.

BERLIN, September 3.-The army man.
oeuvres which began to-day and end Sep>
TENDER 18th, will be of more than usual in

be continued on the same ground and will
be largely patterned after the Napoleonic

the Fifteenth corps, will approach the OPP
posing forces the Sixteenth corps. by
forced march and through the black forest
passes. After striking the plains the corps
will operate along both sides of the Enz
river The decisive action will probably
occur in Wurtemburg. between Stuttgart
and Ludwigsburg.
Big reviews at Carlsruhe, Strasburg and
elsewhere will precede the manoeuvres.
Emperor William strongly hopes to see
some strategic surprises. A noteworthy
feature of the manoeuvres will be the pres
ence of a number of distinguished military
men from other countries. Both the Ger
man and Russian governments have shown
the greatest readiness this year in allow

will be larger than ever before. Great
courtesy is shown by both sides. The
United States military attache at Berlin,
Major II. T. Allen, also received an invi-
tation to attend the Russian manoeuVres,
but he will be unable to go, as he will at
tend the Austrian manoeuvres this week,
being also accredited to the government OF
Austria Hungary. Thence he will go di-
rect to the German manoeuvres. Another
act of unusual courtesy is the permission
given to Col. Samuel S. Summers, the mill
itary attache of the United States embas-
81 at London, to participate in the German
manoeuvres. This is rather contrary to
strict etiquette, as he is accredited to an
other government, but Emperor William,
remembering the attentions shown by Col.
Summers during the Cuban campaign to
Count Won Goetzen, the former military at
tache of the German embassy at Wash
ington, and other German officers who
accompanied the United States army dur
ing the late war, quickly granted the de-
sired permission. His Majesty also per-
mitted Major John NJ. Woodbury., sent to
study the sanitary system of the German
army in the field, to pursue his studies
with the Sixth army corps during the man
oeuvres in Slesia This corps being unusu-
ally well equipped in regard to sanitary ar

A new feature of the manoeuvres this
year will be a practical test of automo-
biles. of which a number have been special
ly made for army purposes by an Aix-la-
Chapelle firm.

By British Journals as to Our Standing in
the Philippines.
LONDON, September 3.-The Satur-
day Review combats the assertion of
President Mckinley that the Philippines
belong to the United States as much as
do Louisiana, Texas and Alaska.
The Speaker takes an opposite view,
remaTking:
The American troops in the Philip
pines are manufactures of civilization
pledged to restore order and maintain
the interest of society in general and
the commerce of the islands.
The Spectator endorses President Nc
Kinley's speech, saying:
"These words are worthy OF the best
traditions of the United States and
show the administration does not mean
to run away from the difficulties. but
to face them squarely and boldly"

SEATTLE, Wash, September g.
Either the Cape Nome gold diggipgs.
especially on the beach, are among the
richest in the history of the worlds
famous discoveries or hitherto reliable
men have become extraordinary falsi-
fers.
When the treasure boat Roanoke
came in on its last trip San Francisco
newspaper man named Logan said that
he and three others-one a relative OF
Admiral Sehley-took out $1,000 on
Nome beach in one week. This story
is corroborated now by Fred Everett,
we'll known Seattle man. who arrived
this morning on the Laurada from
Nome.
He says furthermore: "The world
has never before produced a beach like
that at Nome 1t carries the finest gold
known, and a wealth of it. Who ever
heard before of taking 80 per cent mug
gets off beach,"
W. B. Dean. another reliable Seattle
man, says: Nome win he the biggest
and richest gold camp in the world.
Six hundred men were averaging s25 a
day on the beach when l left, and this
class of diggings exceeds thlrty-five
miles / know that six men took out
81 900 from the beach in three days.
There are about 5000 men in the dis
triet"
A letter from a Nome correspondent
of the London Graphic says that 500
men are taking over SIS TO the man
from the beach every day.
Major E. S. Ingraham, leader of the
Prince Luigi Alaskan exploration expe-
dition, is at Nome. He has signed his
name as a witness to the statement
that four men, with one rocker, took
ont 20 ounces and II penngweights of
gold at Nome in six days.

which extend down to the beach object

Fred Everett says that Capt. Walker
sent an order from st. Michael for tres
passers to keep off the beach a%ogether.
It was not obeyed, and United States
authorities, on complaint of upland
mine owners, arrested 2S6 interlopers
| for tresspass. They were kept in Jail
for five hours. when an order Of release
came, because the eomplainants could

MANILA, September 3, 10 .. NJ
Many Spanish prisoners are escaping
from the Filipinos and bringing into
the American lines stories of hard
treatment. They agree that the Fill
pinos are exceedingly short of rations
and that large section of their troops
is reduced to the use OF homemade
black powder
The natives are trying every scheme
to get food and munitions from Manila.
Daily arrests are made for attempts
to smuggle contraband of war through
the American liens. In one case
easco with a cargo of bamboo poles were
overhauIed and the poles were found
full of rice. The insurgents have a
wholesome respect for the British. on
account of several threats of British
warships to lombard their towns UNI
less the rights of British subjects are
respected. Two British vessels, the
Lacson and the Nero, were driven by
stress of weather into the harbor OF
Dagupan, the northern terminus OF the
Dagupan railway. The crews were i'm
prisoned, but on their protesting that
they were British subjects, the insur-
gent authorities permitted one man, Ed
wards, to come to Manila, promising
to release the crew of the Lacson If
Edwards secured from the British con-
sui at Manila a statement establishing
the nationality of the crew A similar
concession was made to the crew Of the
Nero.
Edwards says he saw several Ameri-
can prisoners who were better fed than
the Spaniards or the Filipino soldiers.
Moreover, they were not compelled to
work, as the Spanish prisoners are. A
force of native police has begun to
patrol the city of Manila, cooperating
with the provost guard whose lack Of
knowledge of the language and the re-
sorts of the native criminals had given
opportunities for burglary, an industry
which has been flourishing of late. The
new force included many members of
the old force and some insurgents who
had grown tired of fighting. 1t has al
ready done good in running down ma
tive criminals.
The American secret service recently
found Filipino spy in Calamba. 1t is
supposed to have been the man who
stole four guns belonging to the Wash
ington regiment. He offered desperate
resistance to the soldiers who were sent
to capture him and tried to run away
with two revolver shots in his head.
Finally he was brought down by rifle
bullet in the hip. He died after jump
ing from the stretcher and trying to
run.
Gen. Bates, it is expected, will estab

lands of Tamtani, Jolo and Bongao.
Late this afternoon the Kansas regi-
ment embarked ON big barges in the
