ON THE TRANsVAAL CRISIS.
A Parliamentary Paper Was Issued
Yesterday in London.

London, Aug. "a parliamentary paper
dealing with the Transvaal crisis
was issued to-day. 1t details
the efforts of the Boer gov
ernment during the past year to have
the question of the suzerainty of Great
Britain submitted to arbitration and Great
Britain's repeated refusals to discuss this
basic point.
The document adds that Sir Alfred Mil
ner, the governor of Cape Colony and high
commissioner of South Africa, writing to
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of
state for the colonies, last June, said:
"The way in which the secretary of state
juggles with the convention OF 1884 is rath-
er irritating TO plain man"
The final dispatch from Mr. Chamber
lain. dated July 13, 1899, TO Sir Alfred Mil
ner concurs with the latter view as to the
untenable Transvaal contention, adding
that the British government had no inten-
ton to continue to discuss the question of
suzerainty with the Transvaal.

 Anti-WOrry Paus.

Among sure preventives for gray hairs and crows feet a certain busy woman sets down what she calls an anti-worry pad. She keeps an ordinary note-size writing pad on her dressing table, and on this she jots down a list of engagements, letters to be answered, business to be attended to, articles needed for house or for personal use. eonveniences, charities ana all the other interest that enter into a busy life, as they come to her mind. By this means she relieves herself of the worrying sense of something forgotten. which is apt to haunt the woman or man whose days are filled with a null tiplicity of demands, and who has no secretary to keep him or her remem- bering details. For such, the anti worry pad is recommended as a nerve and temper tonic.

AN lNCoNVENIENT BIRD.
Mississippi Housewifs's Experience
 Win FanIshed Guest.

In the days before the war" a fam Itly of hard-working people lived in border county of Mississippi. They did not keep a tavern, but they often fed the wayfarer
 One Saturday the housewife roasted a large turkey, baked a batch of bread and made number of pies. She was ready for her Sunday dinner.
 That Saturday afternoon a single borseman appeared. He asked for his dinner and fed his horse in the ample stable of the farmer. The housekeep- sr was busy and the man in haste. so she set the turkey before him, thinking that he would not make much of an im- Dression upon 1t.
 The stranger sat down in front of the turkey and set to work. He cut into the breast of enc side and ate it all. His appetite was only whetted. He demolished the wing and then cut off the leg. The drumstick disappeared and the upper joint was stripped The woman stood aghast. She battered out l to the back porch, where her pies were cooling, and selecting a tempting ap- 1 pie pie, set il before her guest. He put E it to one side and turned the un- touched side of the turkey toward him. l He cut off the wing and the leg. The woman saw her Sunday dinner disap- 1 pear before her eyes.
 1t length, having exposed all the bones of the large fowl. he attacked the Ieie and left not a crumb.
 The woman sank in chair near by. She was too much overcome for a mo- ment to speak Then she said:
 You seem to have enjoyed the tur- key. There is not go much left as ex- peeted "
 The man pushed back his chair, took out his quill toothpick, crossed his knees and sighed with satisfaction. Then he spoke:
 Well, madam, said he. a turkey is 8 very ineonvenient bird
 The woman waited for him to ex- plain, but he was silent. Then she said:
 Why is the turkey inconvenient?" ?"
 Well, madam, it is a little too much for one and not quite enough for tWo," replied her guest.

The Word WAIe.,,

What could be more English than the word ale? 1t carries us back to the banquets of our dead ancestors in Wal halla. and some of it's compounds open up vistas into that old England which IS fast disappearing, becoming a tale that is told, obsolete itself. Such are ale-bush, a tavern sign; ale-conner, "an officer appointed in every court leet, and sworn to look to the assize and goodness of bread, ale and beer. :" Ale-cost, the name of kind of tansy used to flavor the rustic's home-brew- ed, has a good old English look; yet it bears witness to the mongrel nature of the speech of this mongrel nation cost being from the Greek kostos, a sayory herb of species unidentified. Alegar is eager or sour ale, used as vinegar

given that was of benefit to the more ad-
vanced students, while the address was in
such language that it could be understood
and appreciated by the pupils of the gram
mar SCHOOLS, many of whom were in the au-
dence. MIR. Howard had three cases of
butterflies and moths from his collection,
and number Of cocoons, ETC., collected this
