CAPE DUTCH GETTING ACTIVE.
SOME ARE WORKING FOR PEACE, OTHERS
RISING IN REBELLION


RISING IN REBELLION.
Cape Town. March IA great movement is
in progress among the Cape Dutch to obtain a
settlement of the South African questions con-
sistent with the maintenance of the indepen-
dence of the republics It is doubtless argued
that the Cape Dutch, having remained loyal,
are entitled to a hearing at the settlement.
The argument would have more force if the
Dutch had not risen in every district where
there reasonable chance of success and
it is certain that the whole British community
and the actively loyal Dutch are opposed to any
settlement short of annexation
A proposal has been made by deputation of
the Dutch party to visit England shortly in the
interest of peace.
Nearly the whole of the Dutch population of
the Prieska and Kenhardt district are in re-
bellion. Many Of the Dutch from neighboring
districts reported to have joined Them nota-
bly, Pet Moolman, who will lead the rebels to
Brandbles Lucas Steincamp, commanding the
Beers, is reported marching on Carnarvon. 1t
is believed that GordOnia and Victoria West
will rise. 1t is thought that the total number of
men in arms will exceed three thousand. The
general opinion of loyalists is that a strong
force of British viii be required, a reverse
would spread the rebellion

How Slate Pencils Are Made.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from solid slate just as it is dug from
the earth, but pencils so made were OBJ
jected to on account of the grit which
they contain, and which would scratch
the slate. To overcome this difficulty,
Col. d. Nj. Stewart, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, devised and patented an in
genious process by which the slate is
ground to a very fine powder, all grit
and foreign substances removed, and
the powder bolted through silk cloth
in much the same manner as flour Is
bolted. The powder is then made into
q dough, and this dough is subjected to
a very heavy hydraulic pressure, which
presses the pencil out the required
shape and diameter, but in lengths of
about three feet While yet soft the
pencils are cut into the desired lengths
and set out to dry in the open air. At
ter they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kilns, where
they receive the proper temper. Pen
ellis made in this manner are not only
free from all grit, and of uniform hard
ness, but are stronger than those cut
out of the solid slate. For these rea-
sons they have entirely superseded the
old kind.-The Manufacturer.

Instructed the Queen.

A hitherto unrecorded anecdote OF
the queen is the following: One autumn
afternoon, many years ago, her majesty
was going out to sit on hillside and
watch some of her relatives fishing in
the river below her, when she found
that she had no thimble in her pocket,
SO could not work, as she had intended,
at the sewing she was carrying. Turn
fng out of her way to Mrs. Symond's
shop, she bought the smallest thimble
there. which was, however, many sizes
too big for her. There was an old
Scotch dame at the counter, inpatient
Iy waiting to make her own purchases.
Not recognizing the queen, she broke
into the conversation with a "HOOts.
but it's a rare fuss an PADDLE you're
maxim. Blow intae it weel an It'll
stick
That phrase, the latter part Of the
sentence, amused her majesty immense
" and became quite proverb in the
roSsl family,-Seettish Americas.

English Women Gardeners.

In England everybody either has a
garden or dreams of having one. An
American family with a modest subur-
ban home hires a man to come and
NOW the grass. Then it patronizes the
florist and the green-grocer. An Eng.
fish family has its own flowers, its own
vegetables, Its own frult-grown on the
sunny side Of q brick wall--and gar.
dener. So it Is natural enough that the
girl-gardener idea should have taken
root in England, and that, having tax,
en- root, 1t should thrive. At Swan,
ley they say that they cannot begin to
supply the demand for women gar.

An Artistic Elevator Man.

Full many a flower Is born to blush

Senate elevators is a genius in lis.
gulse.
The elevator man is natural artist.
During the intervals when he is not
the custodian Of ascending and descend
ing statesmen he is busy with his pen
ell. and the result of his work adorns
the elevator car. Like Correggia, who
drew with charcoal on the whitewashed
wall. because he had neither pencil nor
paper, the elevator man finds In the
daily weather bulletin cards the me-
dunn for the display of his talents.
Yesterday the card bore an exquisite
landscape, diversified with mountains
and water and ships, while on the day
before the picture represented vene-
tan street. The chef doeuvre Of the
artist was a copy of the Venus di

Mothers Help

Several elderly gentlewomen In San
Francisco, forced to be self-sustaining
have now their regular patrons, whom
they visit at certain hours each week,
charging by the hour for their serv.
ices. Stockings are darned "auld claes
made amaist as guide as new" little
jackets and trousers patched, table
linen carefully reinforced, braids put
on dresses and buttons adjusted. So
quietly, vet efficiently, have these
mothers helps drifted into long felt
need, that most of them are now busy
every day in the week, and comfor-
table income is assured to them.
In a smaller Eastern city another
bright woman has found her niche and
lifted the burden of care from many a
housewives shoulder by taking the helm
when any social function is in order.
If high tea or dinner is projected
she comes early In the day, makes a

Lace In Summer Costumes.

Lace is appearing in very general and
profuse use in the gowns of the sea-
son. Sometimes waist and sleeves
are covered all over with white or
black lace, showing the foundation col
or through the open pattern; sometimes
flounces and ruffies of lace finish a
skirt, and again, skirt is hidden be-
meath an overdress sentirely of lace. To
renew a last summers gown, nothing
can be more convenient, nor more sat.

that the woman who does not love lace.
and is not pleased to walk forth in a
glory Of 1t, is an anomaly. OF course,
whole toilet of real handmade lace
would cost a fortune, but limitations in
these days counterfeit the real SO fine
ly that only an expert can easily dis
eliminate between the original and the
copy. No one is expected to buy real
lace for an ordinary summer costume;
hence to wear a good imitation Is per-
fectly proper and not in the least vul.
