AN APPEAL TO TIL. PUBLIC

AN APPEAL TO TIL PUBLIC
Dear Countrymen.--It is in accord
ance with resolution, unanimously
adopted at a meeting of Africander
and Bond members of Parliament, that
we address you as follows:
Notwithstanding the most strenuous
efforts made by our clergymen. our
ministers, our party in Parliament, our
Bond branches, and our mowen, by
means OF respectful petitions, Public
serve the invaluable blessings of peace
in South Africa, the much dreaded war
has virtually broken out
Her Majesty's forces will soon be
involved in a bloody war with the
burghers Of the Transvaal and the
Free State, whoare one with us In re-
ligion, language and descent.
There are but few Colonial African
ders who are not bound to the inhapi
tants OF both Republics by ties of re-
lationship, intimacy or friendship.
This makes war still more painful to
you and to us, and much more calami-
tous to South Africa than it would
otherwise be.
II is not our object to inquire too
whom all this misery and calamity
wnlcn await our country, owing 10 the
existing circumstances, are Que.
Enough acrimony exists without such
inquiry. Much more does 1t oeflt us
to yield to the overpowering impulse
which fills the heart of our people with
desire to do something In aid of our
kinsmen and friends beyond the Orange
and Vaal rivers. by giving 1t an OPP

wish that some one would write an
adequate book upon superstition and
its effects, as distinguished from and op-
posed to revealed religion and its
effects. This curse of the world, civil
lized or savage, deserves a worthy chrOn-
icler. Walking round the exhibits in
the Agricultural hall, it was borne in to
my mind that superstition in all its
hideous phases is perhaps the most con-
crete and tangible form in which the
evil one manifests himself upon earth,
and l think that those who have mixed
much with native races will not dis
agree with me.
Here is an instance of its working
which has just come to my notice: Not
long ago two Matabeles were tried at
BulawayO for the murder of their grand
son, a child of 2. Poison having failed,
the boy was held beneath the water and
drowned The crime was admitted, but
the defense raised was that the child
had cut its top teeth first. Such chill
dren being unlucky and the cause of i'll
luck to others. it was customary to kill
them, and a "witch doctor, on being
consulted. had ordered that this one
should be put to death Well, only a
century or so since we did things al
most as bad in England. Rider Hag-
gard in Longman's

suffers no danger from the rattlesnake
he will march boldly up to the coiled
reptile. allow himself to be struck in
his JOwls once, twice or three times. as
the case may be, and will then calmly
proceed to swallow the reptile without
concern The reason for the hogs i'm
munity Is due to the fact that the blood
vessels are so minute and infrequent on
his cheeks, where fat is predominant
that they fail to take up the poison and
carry 1t through the porcine system.
Hogs have been used in droves to clear
some of the islands of the southern seas
OF poisonous reptiles and have proved
successful
By remembering two simple facts any
one can distinguish a poisonsous serpent
from a harmless one. The venomous
reptile invariably possesses a triangular
~ shaped head and blunt nose, while
his tail is correspondingly blunt and
stubby Any snake that tapers smooth
~ from the middle of its body to the tip
OF its nose and to the tip of its tail as
well, growing slender in gradual and

A Hnpny Introduction.

An Englishman who is an enthusi-
astic Alpine clubbist came in one night
to carry friend off to lecture which
the veteran mountaineer Whymper was
giving at Westminster on his pet theme.
Twenty Thousand Feet Above the
Sea. The friend could not 90. for he
was otherwise engaged, but Whymper's s
name reminded him Of story Of Sir
James Linton, the late president of the
Royal Institution of Painters In Water
Colors He had to introduce the well
known artist E. NJ. Wimperis to the
Alpinist, and he did it in the following
fashion: Il want to make two distin-
guished men known to each other. The
one is Mr.. Whymper, the other Mr.
WimPeris. " For an impromptu this is
not bad.

Plaster OF ParIs.

The setting of plaster of paris may
be retarded by the addition of to 4
per cent of powdered althea root. This
addition not only retards the hardening
of the plaster. but also enables it to be
cut. filed, sawed and turned An addi-
tion of 8 per cent retards the complete
setting of the plaster for about an hour,
so that the mass may be used for any
purpose where it is to remain plastic

An Unfortunnts PGrticipIe.

Arecent discussion at dinner table,
whether "gotten" or "got" were the
preferable participle, received a practi-

service, from an experience related of a
college professor who preferred "got-
ten" He had telegraphed to his wife :
"Have gotten tickets for the theater to-
night. Meet me there.
The telegraph operator rendered this
into ''Have got ten tickets, etc.
Mrs. Professor was delighted with the
opportunity of entertaining her friends
and accordingly made up a party of
eight besides herself, whose greetings to
the professor at the rendezvous were
probably more cordial than his feeling
until matters were explained. He now

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-12-28

Major Mareh's battalion surprised a
trench full of insurgents by coming
upon their flank. They poured a terrible
fire along the trench, Strengthening near
ly all in it. Just before entering the
town the Calling did good execution,
killing five of party that was guard
ing a broken bridge, and afterwards
swept the country beyond the town,
driving $50 rebels into the hills
Major Marsh's battalion entered the
town first and captured a large battle
flag that was floating over a convent.
Most of the survivors of the insurgent
force are supposed to have escaped to-
ward Magaldon or Dagupan. 1t was
impossible to pursue them further as
the troops were exhausted, the am
munition was low and the troops had
only two days rations with them and
no possibility Of getting further sup
plies from San Fabian, owing to the
condition of the road. The column
camped for the night at San Jacinto.
Five more rebels were killed during
the night by the outposts. Among the
bodies found was that of lieutenant
colonel supposed to be in command OF
the rebels at that point.
