Two VIEWS OF SOUTH AFRICA.

Mr. James Bryce, the foremost critic OF the
British Government and advocate of the Trans
zyaal cause in the present South African troubles,
is reported TO have said In Parliament on Fri
day last that the fusion of races in the Trans
wal was proceeding satisfactorily until checked
by the Jameson raid, and that while the Out
Handlers had their grievances, these were greatly
exaggerated.
The mutual attitude Of the two races In the
Eransvaal prior TO the Jameson raid has been
graphically described By one of the most com
petent and judicious authorities in the world.
Speaking of the Beers, he said-before the raid:
peThey hate the English. Their usual term for
stan Englshman is rotten egg This hatred is
~mfngled with contempt and fear They extend
~'ed their hatred Of the English to the English
speaking 0utlanders generally" AS for Pres
sdent Kriiger himself. "he hated all foreigners

which was TO obtain, by constitutional means

s"petition had been scornfully rejected one

authority, was the state of affairs just before
the Jameson raid. We really cannot in il

Bryce spoke the other day

When finished II is likely to draw a larger share
OF the admiration Of the French people than tne
SCULPTURES Of their kings. The latter are set up
and torn down according to local fluctuations IN
politics but there is good reason for believing
that the venerable efigy Of the Father OF MS
Country will not be subjected 10 any such ca
PRECIOUS mutation. 1t will stand serene anna
Lutetia's glowing tides of life, mistaken by their
occasional turbulence. perhaps as long as Ma

late for them to do so II once the people be-
came acquainted with the Americans by actual
contact and experience. They knew that If onoe
the people of Luzon learned and realized what
American rule would mean they would well
come it, as the people of Mindanao have done.
The only hope of the desperate consplrators lay
in poisoning the minds of the people in advance.
To that they gave their most earnest and most
malehc efforts The extent and duration of
Aguinaldos insurrection is the measure of their
success In those simple facts lies the explana-
ton of the difference between Mindanao and

One Of the results OF the war with Spain was
to make clear the fact that the artillery arm of
the National Guard of New-York is weak and
insufficient. Many officers of the Guard have
expressed themselves on the subject, and they
hope that some steps will be taken soon toward
creating an artillery regiment. Governor Roose-
welt was asked few days ago whether he would
be in favor of the creation OF such a regiment.
and he replied without moments hesitation.
Certainly. We need It, and should have IT."
The promoters of the scheme may look to him
for support when their plans are completed.

THE BABY's CRY.
It Always Means Something, ana
should he Needed.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
The notion that crying baby is a
healthy one, like many popular beliefs. is
true In a measure, but may be dangerous
ly misleading. A baby. that never cried
would probably not live, or would be
puny and ilI-developed specimen. A lusty
bawi now and then is necessary as sps-
cies OF lung gymnastics-the only one pos
sible to the infant SO little wind in tho
stomach or a little discomfort from the
clothes or even little bad temper may
be useful, If IL provokes crying.
But we should learn the language OF the
cry since crying Is the chief method the
baby has OF communicating with its eld-
ers and telling them what is wrong. While
we learn not to be unduly sollcitous when
the lungs are merely being exercised, we
must learn not to neglect an appeal for
relief.
When the cry 10 constant, and is not to
be stopped by any of the ordinary dis
fractions, it often means earache. Hunger
also announces itself by persistent cry
ing, but this appeal ceases the moment
food Is given. The cry that comes after
eating, and that Is excited by Indigestion,
NAL and when there is collie the baby
moves his body about, instinctively seek
ing TO shift the pain, which such wrig-
Cling often win do.
Pain in the head Is expressed by a se-
rles OF sudden shrleks, loud and sharp, in
the intervals of which the child is quiet
and often somnolent, or whimpers a lit
tlo ,
A loud, sudden cry, occurring during
sleep and possibly not even waking the
child, Is often the sign of beginning joint
disease This disease is rare, however, in
young babies.
A fretful baby, crying at the slightest
provocation or without apparent cause, Is
III at ease and may be sickening for some
definite illness.
When child invariably follows al
cough with crying there may be pneu-
monia or pleurisy. the movement produc-
ed by the cough causing pain in the
chest. When, however, there Is fluid or
other effusion in the chest or lungs, in
terfering with respiration, the baby cries
but little seeming to know that 1t has
no breath to waste.
A hoarse cry is indicative of laryngftiss
and this, when more pronounced, Is tho
croupy cry that mothers dread so much to
hear. A nasal tone in the cry like that
in the voice OF tine older children, is a
sign of some obstruction in the nostrils.

Underwater Pleasures.
From the Sew YORK PIGS

The company that has planned an UNDER
water palace near Coney Island has APP
piled for a charter In West Virginia, I I'M
derstand. and will issue 100000 of preferred
stock 1t has not been decided whe Their
the iron and glass Submarine house will be
built in Sheepshead Bay or In Gravesend
bay The promoters favor the latter, but
there may be difficulties in the way. This
Sea Gate people may rebel, as they are in
olined TO restrict not only the land at Nor
toms Point, but the water as well. About
forty feet of water will be required. The
house is to be 1875 feet square, and will
contain, besides restaurants and bars,
music hall and theater. The question of
proper ventilation has been settled, and it
is said that a temperature of 90 degrees
will be maintained all SUMNER even
though the surface heat may reach 10 de-
erees. In winters dreary months the
palace will be as warm a toast. Unlike
other Coney Island resorts, IL will remain
open the year round.
The King of Slam has a submarine pail
ace at Bangkok into which he descends In
the heated term. As i'm the case Of the
Coney Island house, entrance is effectet
through the roof Something equivalent
to a submarine house is the series OF tun-
nels under Lake Michigan which, EXTEND
ing from two to four miles from shore,
supply Chicago with water. Men who have
walked out to the cribs say that the tenn
perature Is most delightful. Strangers
visiting Messina are invited to walk down
the marble steps to the waters edge and
look below at the buried city. Some believe
they can see temples and palaces in the
depths There are several sunken cities,
and living In them in hot weather would be
agreeable II the water could be kept out 4
