In her speech closing Parliament, Queen
Victoria was made to say: Il trust the
divine blessing may rest on your effort
and that of the gallant army to restore
peace and good government to that por-
tion Of my Empire and vindicate the honor
of this country" The London Chronicle"
views this utterance with a mixture of
boiling indignation and shivering alarm.
This, the Chronicle" says, is notice to the
Beers that they are already regarded as
citizens of the Empire, although Mr..
Chamberlain sOlemnly assured them that
England had no design on their independ-
ence,
Papers like the pTo-Boer publication in
question appear to forget that when the
Colonial Secretary disclaimed any intention
to interfere with the municipal independ-
ence of the Transvaal, the Government and
people of that State had not yet forced a
war upon their suzerain, and were not
engaged in killing British officers and SOL
diers When they began that course, they
necessarily resigned such independence as
they had previously enjoyed. and annexed
themselves to the Empire. But, aside from
that consideration, a strict construction of
the Queens speech will not justify the de
ductions or observations Of the "Chron-
icle.' Her Majesty prays that peace and
good government may be restored to a
portion" of her Empire. A thought upon
the scene of strife in South Africa is sufIi-
eient to remind US that there has not been
a gun fired anywhere in what is not and
was not before the war unquestioned
British territory. There have been battles
in Natal and there is fighting in Griqua-
land and Rhodesia, not to mention cattle
raids in Zululand; but we have yet to hear
of the first disturbance in the Transvaal
or the Orange Free State. It is only by
a stretch OF imagination that the speech
from the throne can be twisted into refer
ence to either OF the Dutch territories in
South Africa.

From a strictly military point of view
the domestic situation in Kentucky is to be
regarded as exhilarating. The opponents OF
Candidate Goebel, including the Republi-
can hosts and their boiling Democratic
guests. are much exercised over the purity
Of the ballot which they predict will be in
danger OF outrage on the day of election.
They have even dreamed that the Louisville
police and fire departments intend on that
occasion to assault the polls and thus con-
ceal all evidences Of their crime" To meet
this menace with true Kentucky spirit, the
Hannaites and Brownists propose TO protect
the franchise from violent interference by
swarming to the voting places, armed with
Winchesters, revolvers, and bowie knives.
Judge Eversole is returning to Clay county
to hold court, at the head of a force Of
troops. General Duke declares GoebeI to be
guilty of nearly everything except procras-
tination, and that Moon which, before the
war, was pale as a new silver trade dollar
is now streaked with human gore. From
all these premises we conclude that there
VIII be fighting somewhere else, as well as
at Ladysmith.

omniyorously. They retain the entire i'm
preston which the author makes on them.
They get the full force of his thought
unimpaired by hundred other notions
which might intrude themselves. The
South, before the war, was not land of
many books, though the well-to-do had
fine libraries. Il has been said that Ivan
hoe" had much to do with bringing about
the war. The ideal of chivalry created in
the minds of young men by that book was
something tremendous in it's influence. The
old civilization of the South was not un-
like that described by Scott and the book
had far stronger influence there than in
the North. 1t created that old Southern
amusement, the tournament. which was
unknown elsewhere in the country; and it
gave to Southern orators a part Of their
fluent vocabulary. There viii never be
such a time again. The one-book man viii
become rarer and rarer in our country. He
may in time be as extinct as the dodo.
Time was when religious people would not
read novels. They found their romance
and their character study in the Bible. Now
they will read novels recommended by re-
ligious teachers, or dealing with religious
subjects. The time Will come when they,
like others, will generally recognize the
fact that the novel is a study of life, and
must describe humanity as it is, not dis
torted to teach a lesson" and that the
reader whether wise or simple, must know
life as it is, and not as he would wish it
to be. Illusions viii not be destroyed by
this change; only mischievous delusions
viii disappear To the young girl life will
still be fascinating and wonderful mys-
terry till experience opens to her the door of
knowledge; to the young man there will
still remain ideals, hopes, Inspirations; and
all the realism that can be put into liter
ature will not change this nor stop the
disenchantment when it comes.

BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN.
She Got Away with the Oysters Bu,
Not In the Usual Man-
nef.

A young girl from the state of Washing.
ton who came east to visit western SEN
ator's family last winter, had an experience
she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few days
of her stay in the capital were spent there,
and her meals were sent to her room. On
the very first evening she ordered oysters
for dinner. Now, she knew nothing of q
days on the Pacific coast, where oysters are
not oysters at all, but something altogether
different. She was young and exceedingly
inexperienced, and she said to the waiter:
Bring me SO oysters
The waiter gasped.

"Oh, no, she answered, cheerfully. Bring
Newell, dinner, too.
She says herself that she had to shut her
eyelids tight to keep her eyes from pop
ping clear out of her head when she saw the
isn't that more than 50?" she asked.
NO, miss" answered the waiter. Shall
l take some away" and he grinned. 1t
was the grin that did it. Her western
blood rose at it.
NO" she, said, coolly. Its not toe
many. I'm hungry"
She locked the door after the astonishec
waiter, and opened the window 1t was a
dark night, but she could see the roofs Of
the adjoining houses almost within arms
reach beneath her window. Only narrow
alley separated the buildings. She took q
fork, and defty and dexterously, one by
one, she flung the oysters as far as she could
She could hear them fall MOSTLY, softly, fab
billy upon the roof opposite. When the
waiter returned, two oysters lay on he,
plate. His eyes rolled wonderingly at her
"Was-was the oysters good?" he asked
and he did not grin.
Fairly good" she made answer, calmly

nearly within reach, I quickly stretched out
my left hand and struck up the weapon, then
with an oath I made a step forward and

knocking his pipe from his mouth; but, as if

Value Of Water Power.

Notwithstanding the advent of
steam as practical source of power
in the last century and the enormous
development that has taken place in
its use, water power, under favorable
conditions, continues to be the best
and cheapest obtainable, and, with the
exception of wind, it is the only one in
nature ready made. If it were sug-
gested as practicable method OF
raising water to evaporate it first and
condense it at q higher level after

powers, and patents resulting from
her ideas numbered 1906 in the twelve
years between 1884 and 1895.
Some of the largest and most valua
BILE inventions are due to women.
Mrs. Harriet Strong, who began by
inventing corset, en- ded by taking
out patents for dams and reservoirs.
Although now an old woman, she has
but recently patented a device for
storing water. Mrs. Ada Van Pelt in.
vented Formulation lock with 5000
combinations; also letter box for the
outside of houses that throws up a
signal to the postman when there is a
letter to collect.
A little girl by an ingenious inven-
ton revolutiOnized the making of
| screws. A woman invented satchel-
bottomed paper bags and was offered
$4,000 for her patent before she left
Washington. A woman invented the
Burden process of making horse
shoes, which turns out such rapid
work that it has saved the country
$2,5OO,OOO in fourteen years. A num-
ber of women's inventions are known
to have been patented under the
names OF their husbands, fathers or
brothers.
