The chief distinction between the
Mauser and the Lee Enfield is this
that while the Lee Enfield has maya
zine which is inserted underneath the
body through the trigger guard and Sc
cured by a catch and is provided with
what is called a "cut off, to prevent
the cartridges from rising, so that it
can <be used as a simple breechloader
for single firing until the magazine,
which contains ten cartridges, is order
ed to be used, the Mauser has maya
zine which, though not absolutely fix
ed, is only istended to be taken off for
cleaning. 1t does not need a "cut off,
to use as n single loader
The magazine contains five car
tridges, but whereas the cartridges
for the Lee-Enfield have, when the
magazine is charged, to be each put in
separately, the magazine Of the Maui
ser is filled at once by placing against
the face Of the magazine a set Of five
cartridges held in clip which falls off
when the cartridges have been inserted
in the magazine.
Thus If each weapon were at the be-
ginning Of a fight empty, the Mauscr
would permit Of more rapid fire be-
cause it could be loaded five cartridges
at time, while the Lee Enfield would
take, cartridge by cartridge, as long to
load as single breechloader: On the
other hand, the times when a very
rapid discharge Of fire is desirable are
not numerous, and for these the Lee
Enfield has ten cartridges ready
against the Mauser's five-Nineteenth

The Destiny Of Australia.

me Destiny OF Australia.
In the speech from the throne 1T ,l:r
opening Of the British parliament, =,
few days ago Queen Victoria s;..sS
among other things:
have watched with cordial satisfaction II.
gradual development of my, greater colonies i..o
self governing communities. feel confident ;ha;
the establishment OF the great federation of Aus
tralia will prove advantageous not only to the
colonies Immediately concerned, but also to the
empire at large.
In this her majesty may in some de-
gree be mistaken. That the federation
Of the Australian colonies will prove
advantageous to the colonies them
selves is beyond question, but that the
British empire at large will be benefit
ed is more than questionable, since it
is the opening wedge to the consum-
nation Of the ultimate destiny Of that
great continent whose shores are wash
ed by the southern seas. That destiny,
which cannot be many years delayed.
Is complete independence, which her
majesty would hardly regard as adj
vantageous to the British empire.
The Australians are beginning to un-
derstand the historical truth of the
proposition that no state can become
great SO long as it is the vassal or sub
ject Of another state.
By virtue Of it's vast extent and it's
marvellous resources Australia, with its
adjacent islands, is destined to become
strong and great nation, rich and
prosperous, and this, the Australians
realize, can come only through the sew
erance of it's political relations with
the parent country. Its growth and
development depend upon its indie
pendence Of any other country in the
conduct OF it's political affairs. This
truth is illustrated in the history of the
United States, and adversely, in the
history Of Canada.
Queen Victoria is no doubt q most
exemplary woman and a wise and be-
nignant sovereign as sovereigns 20, but
there is no good reason why she should
exercise sovereignty over a great con-
tinent between which and her capital
roll hundreds Of leagues Of sea and
with the inheritance of which the peo-
pie Of her immediate realm have but
little in common. The logic of history
and events points unerringly to>the es-
adjustment Of the United States OF
Australia, free and independent. 1t
may come peaceably. and it may take
force, but it will surely come, proba-
bly, within the next decade So, too, it
is not unlikely that the same decade
will see rising free and independent
| from it's baptism of blood the United
| States Of South Africa.

A lady who has. recently returned
from abroad had a curious experience
at the little town of Dinant. in Bel
GUM. She was travelling in a party Of
three, including another lady and a
young man. They sought accommoda-
ton at a hotel and were shown a room
in which there We're three beds and on
deal table three basins and jugs about
as big as slop basins and milk jugs.
The ladies explained that one room
was quite insufficient for their needs,
but it was a long time before they
could get the hostess to understand
why. They were then shown another
room with three beds, three slop ba-
sins and three milk jugs and were told
that they could have that, too. if they
liked to pay for the six beds. 1t was
therefore arranged that the man should
have one room and three beds and the
ladies the other room and three beds. y
do you always sleep in threes:''
said one lady to the hostess.
Eyes, was the reply: sit is much
more sociable. "-Madame
