Wants the Tyranny of Britain Clearly
Understood - Sketch of Peculiar
woman's Life-From South African
Farm to Merited Fame.

One of the most peculiar Of con-
temporary writers is Olive Schreiner,
who suddenly leaped into great popu-
larity over ten years ago by her strong
romance, "The Story of an African
Farm" Since then she has never pro-
duced another sustained bit Of inn
aginative work, but in several smaller
books she has shown creative power
OF a rare kind. Her father was Ger
man missionary and her mother an
English woman, and all her girlhood
she spent at a remote station In Cape
Colony. This lonesome life she has
reproduced with startling fidelity in
her book, which was a powerful pro-
test against the worlds failure to per-
NIT girl to enjoy the same training
as boy. Her sketches Of Boer life
were as graphic as Rider Haggard's in

to introduce the dashboard into the
Interior part of England. Mrs. War
rem. who is of English birth, says she
returned to Worcestershire some twen-
ty-six years ago, and it was chen that
she first noticed the primitive mode OF
washing there. When she saw the long,
.offin-shaped tub and noted the great
labor made over wash, she told about
the American dashboard. Some util-
lied huge barrels, with FOUNDERS; the
clothes were put in and soft soap
was poured en-. After two hours
pounding the clothes were rinsed In
brooks or streams, and then bleached
In the sun. Others used large tubs and
rubbed each part OF the garment with
the open palm Of the hand; some had
slid" boards, through which the
clothes passed back and forth N slow
manner. Mrs. Warren sent for wash
board, and when it arrived holiday
was taken. Everybody tried 1t. and
great rubbing took place. Mrs. War
rem to show how the board was used
travelled from house to house. Every
body bought one, and the villages
around soon caught the fever. All old

MISSING BASTION.

Search has been made at Oxford,
England, for the missing bastion oil
the city wall. An extraordinarily fine
piece of the wall surrounds the garden
of New college, and makes 1t really
the most beautiful in Oxford. But be-
tween this and the bastion which for
merly existed in the garden OF the
rector of Exeter college all trace had
been lost except the fine mediaeval
carving in the house facing the Bod
leian. which was, as known from doc
umentary evidence, AUDITING On bas-
ton.
Excavations now being made in the
angle between the Bodleian and the
Sheldonian theater reveal ample traces
of the missing bastion and number
of ancient tobacco pipes and glass bot
ties, resembling those In which bene'
dictine is sold, with a protuberance or
the top of the bulb to receive seal.
The next bastion was, as has beer

of Exeter; the next is in the premise.
