"Doctor, did you ever know Robert
Pollock. the Scotch poet, who wrote

replied; II knew him well. was his

on to tell me how that the writing Of
"The Course Of Time exhausted the
health Of Pollock. and he expired. 1t
seems as If no man could have such a
glimpse of the day for which all other
days were made as Robert Pollock had
and long survive that glimpse. In the
description Of that day he says, among
other things:
Begin the woe ye woods. and tell it to the dole
ful winds.
And doleful winds wall to the bowling hills,
And howling hills mourn to the dismal wales,
And dismal wales sigh TO the sorrowing brooks,
And sorrowng brooks weep to the weeping
stream,
And weeping stream awake the groanng deep;
Ye heavens, great archway OF the universe put

And ocean, robe thysef In garb Of wdowhood
And gather all thy waves into a groan and ut

to lay her in her grave.

fellow familiar with the literature of
half dozen countries, probably never

He has vague idea that the book
was lately overthrown by the higher
criticism. But as to what the criticism
is or what the book he has but vague
ideas. They bore him, and in his hasty
march through life has learned the
trick of promptly Kidding his path of
all things that bore ehim. The litera-
ture of his work, whatever that may
be. does not bore him-reports Of stocks
or of new microbes or Of findings in
court. These things he understands.
What have these distractions, he says.

can be fired in n given period has in
creased many times over. The proper
tion of fatalities, however, has grown
less.
In the American civil war the losses
were appalling when compared with
anything since. In some battles the loss
was 90 per cent of the troops engaged,
and losses of from 10 TO 20 per cent

va, when most people thought the
Light brigade were practically ami

cent. In the use of modern weapons
there Is greater proportion of wound
cd and less proportion of killed. II
is Il notable fact, moreover, that n
greater proportion of the wounded re-

this, but much credit must be given TO
improved methods of surgery and the
efficient work OF the Red Cross and
similar institutions.
In recent wars more soldiers have
died from sickness than from injuries
in combat. In explanation Of the de-
creased mortality In battle marked
changes ln methods must be taken into
account. The brilliant charges of the
past are now seldom attempted. The

greater ingenuity has evolved methods
of keeping out of the way.
AS the war advances the world, in
Guiding the British. realizes the system
attic preparations which the Beers have
been making during the past several
years. In the first place. both the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
have plenty of money. In 1885 the
revenue of the Transvaal was over ST.
100000, and In 1895 its annual income
had Increased to nearly S22,00O,000.
War preparations have been going
on under the direction of President
Kruger FOR 90 years. The dynamite
factories at Zurfontein, creation Of
Kruger's, are the largest and finest In
the world. They were constructed by
German experts and can turn out any
explosive known to science. The forti-
fications of Pretoria are something
which the world does not yet know,
but 1t Is safe to say that they include
everything that money and skill can
produce. Gigantic forts may be seen
on every side of the town. and the lat

OhiSSio anu luCli. lie Only way Ill
which an invading army can capture
Pretoria Is to starve it into submission,
and 1t may be taken for granted that
every preparation has been taken to
resist siege.
1t Is estimated that there are 10000
Beers now at the front. This is sup
posed to be practically the full strength
of the nation, but as every calculation
In regard to the willy Kruger has thus
far proved wrong there is no certainty
about this one. There are known to
be more soldiers around Pretoria than
anybody supposed. and no account has
been taken of the women, who can fight
nearly as well as the men. While chill.
dren the Beers teach their girls as well
as boys to handle guns, and the women
never get too old to shoot well. They
are MS courageous and combative as
the men and, If occasion requires. will
take their places in the fighting ranks.
When Kruger predicted that if the
British conquered it would be at a
price that woul1 stagger humanity, he
was making no idle boast

Ing the superior craftsmanship Of the
Beers and the latest and most destruc-
tive types of guns on both sides, the
casualties SO far during the war have
been astonishingly small. l do not
mean to convey the idea that this war
is not bloody and terrible. as all wars
are. but certainly the destructive quail
tiles of new weapons are not SO great
as their inventors would have us be-
lieve. Statistics of war fatalities In
the past are not at hand, but recall
the statement that during the Crimean
war the Russians fred 100000 shots
and killed. $4,000 men, or about one to
every $40 shots fred. Since that time
rapid firing guns have greatly improv-
