HOW CERTAIN SOUTH AFRICAN TOWNS WERE NAMED.

Frere is named after Sir Bartle
Frere, who once formed spoke in the
political wheel of Gladstone. though,
unlike his leader, he was little inclined
twenty years ago to grant independ-
ence to the Transyaalers. For some
time he was high commissioner in
South Africa.
1t was Sir Harry Smith who gave his
name to the town of Harrismith,
while his wife, Lady Smith, has fair
chance of one form of immortality be-
cause of the fact that the military
headquarters OF Natal had been named
after her. Lady Smith was a Spanish
lady who took refuge in the British
lines at the siege of Badajoz. and

years later. He afterwards served as
colonial secretary and as premier, re-
ceiving his title four years before his
death, which took place in 1856.
Colenso gets its name from Bishop
Colenso, one of the most interesting
ecclesiastical figures of the nineteenth
century AS a theologian his origin
atty of thought caused him to be
looked upon with disfavor by many OF
his church brethren in England. AS a
mathematician, however, his re-
searches were both profound and val
liable, and as publicist he was usual
ly to be found on the side of the con-
servative thinkers. Many years OF de-
voted labor as bishop of Natal caused

I'm sayin that everybody orter know
how to read. write and cipher. but
nowadays they want to stuff children
with a heap that's no good to any

But what man kin know too much?"
asks the stranger. But fur higher
knowledge how would we know that
the earth revolved on its axis?"
But s'pose we didn't know? Spose
we figgered that the earth stood still?
Wouldn't we have licked the British
at Yorktown jest the same. and would
MT the price of wheat be the same as
to-day? I was talkin with young Jim
Benson t'other day. He could tell the
distance to the sun within a mile. but
he couldn't tell how many rails TO a
rod of fence He could give the names

that cuttin hogs tail of would make
him root the harder, probably hopin

Moses Plumber hey bin holdin Jericho
back fur the last two years from hevin
a new school house. The matter has
come up almost every evenin' at the
postofice and bin holly argued, but
they couldn't be budged. The other
night mighty smart lookin stranger
was stoppin in town, and it was ar
ranged that he drop in on the crowd
and take the school house side and
put the three Instructors on their
backs. The stranger was on hand at
the hour named, and when the proper
mint arrived Squar Joslyn speaks up
and says:
Stranger, if you was a resident Of
this town, would you be fur school
houses or ag'in emf"
I'D be fur EN-, of course" replies
the man. I'D vote fur the cause of
education if / had to live on one meal
a day. 1t is education that makes a
nation. The less education the more
vice and wickedness.
That's jest the way look at it"
says the Squar. II say education be-
fore everything else, but we've got
men in this town who differ with me.
You wouldn't think that leadin' men
of town would be ag'in school houses

They must be queer sort OF men. T"
Don't they want their children to knew

That's mighty strong pint, mighty
strong" says Deacon Spooner, as he
turks his cane on the floor and looks
at Abner Jones.
Il reckon you're hittin' at me- re-
plies Abner after Within away for
a moment, and I've got few words
to say. I'd like to ask this stranger
here if he knows who discovered
America ?"
why, certainly, sir" said the man.
HAS it done you any good? Has
it ever made any difference to you
whether it was Smith, Green or
BROWNE"
But it is knowledge
Eyes, it's knowledge, and that's a
strong pint" whispered the deacon.
Eyes, it's school house knowledge"
says Abner, "but let me ask you sun
thin. What month in the year d'you
plant pumpkin seeds?"
Pumpkin seeds! Why, what have
pumpkin seeds got to do with educa-
tion?"
quite a little bit, I reckon. This
county ships huff pumpkins every
year to make 100000 ten cent pies.
don't believe ten farmers kin tell you
when America was discovered, but
they know when to plant pumpkins.
Which is the best fur em? / reckon
you kin tell what year George Wash
ington died in, which l can't, but d'you
know whar to fasten a rope when you
want to drive a hog to MARKET"
"By lingo, but that's a strong pint,
and Abner's got him." shouts the dea-
con as he jumps up and down.

Schumacher & Co. say:

Tie decline in exchange. while not directly az
tributable the elections certainly caused by
the precautions taken guard against the results
of the elections These precautions consisted or
the calling in of loans and locking up OF money
until the loaning rates had reached the figure OF
% per cent with average for last Friday or
about 10 cent. and for last Monday of about 10
per cent. On Monday, however, money became
very much easier in the afternoon. Hence the par
tial recovery of exchange. on the day after cleo
tion the locked up money came out again, with a
further rise in exchange the natural conse-
quence. on Wednesday evening demand sterling
