The Boer as a Family Man.

AS a family man, the Beers reputa-
ton would justify him in becoming q
candidate for the Denmow Fitch.
Surly and suspicious in manner, heavy
and uncouth in his ways, shy and re-
served among strangers, you may win
him to a gruff cordially, if you are
a husband and father, and care to
listen to the details of his domestic life.
But although the BOer certainly cher
ishes with deep affection his wife and
children, says a Ladysmith correspon-
dent of the London Standard, he treats
them according to oriental, rather than
European ideas. The women always
stand until the men are seated, and
are not served until the wants of their
lords and masters are satisfied. l am
describing the customs of the farmer
who lives on the veldt, and has no ac-
quaintance with western manners.
Such a man is little removed from a
state of barbarism, and his surround
ings are often as squalid as those of the
Kaffir. Despite this patriarchial rule,
the vrouw has great influence over her
man, and Is credited with having on
more than one occasion screwed up
his courage to the fighting point. The
Boer vrouw is not a beauty, notwith-
standing the care with which she pre-
serves her complexion from the effects
of the sun. Her ambition, like that OF
the fishwives at Scheveningen, is to be-
come as fat as an OK, though, unlike
the Dutch wife, she is not an example
of scrupulous cleanliness. The Boer
is not hospitable. He resents the pres
ence of strangers and. being too lazy
to cultivate more than is necessary for
the immediate wants of his family. he
has nothing to spare for unlimited
guests.

MAKE FINE WAX FROM OIL.

Residual Oil from 111uminants Makes

The busy little bee was long ago
cheated out of his monopoly in the

honey manufacturers. Now he is left

may, for his corner ON wax Is rapidly
slipping away from him. Paraffin, a

Whiting, Ind, just over the southern

this wonderful wax is made. Cleve-

it is only small affair compared to

CAREER OF RHODES.
DIAMOND KING, STATESMAN AND
MILLIONAIRE.
He Is the Most Picturesque Figure
After Dom Paul in the Transvaal
War-His Meteoric Career in South
Africa.

The most picturesque figure next to
Dom Paul in the Anglo-Transvaal war
Is Cecil Rhodes, diamond king and pol
itleian. He is the mightiest million
aire of the age. Others may have more
money, but Rhodes possesses the pow
er and ability to shape the destiny of
South Africa. The son of a minister
sent to South Africa to improve his
health, he has added within a few
years an empire TO England's territory
and has become the modern colossus of
Rhodes.
The surprising growth Of British
South Africa is due largely to the eff
forts Of this one man, the organizer
and manager of the Imperial British
South African Company. The career
of Rhodes has been meteoric. Proba-
bly, no Englishman since Sir Francis
Drake sailed round the globe with the
gold of Spain has brought more glory
to his country with less expense to his

Is no reason to anticipate an increase in

that while broomcorn is a close relative
of Indian corn, fiourishes on the same
soil, and needs much the same kind of
cultivation, the crop is a precarious
one, and the business requires a special
outfit of tools and sheds costing from
$500 to $1,000, which are of little value
for other purposes. The director says
also that the present high prices were
not realized by The grower, nor could

given them, and not rush headlong into

Our history is yet young and if we
set out TO make an annual holiday for
. every great deed of every great son of
the republic we should soon exhaust
the calendar. The proposal to name

sanction and give it celebration for all
time to come, like the Fourth of July
and Washington's birthday, ought not
TO be considered for a moment. The

shown that they can find other ways

may become necessary to bar them out
with a constitutional amendment.

The subject of diseases in the schools
and the manner and method best
adapted to an effectual suppression of
the danger to the public health that
emanates from this source is one of
the most important and interesting
problems with which the cities and
communities have to deal. Important
and interesting from the sole fact that
every person living in city or COM
munity is directly benefited by every
measure that contributes to less ning
disease in the schools. 1t has been esti-
mated by an authority on the subject
that 20 per cent. Of the epidemics Of
contagious diseases might be prevented
simply by a proper inspection of the
schools. Some idea of the value of
medical inspection in the schools may
be judged from the experience of Bos-
ton, the first city to make an expert
ment. OF 1894 pupils examined 1.15C
were found to be physically unfit to
attend school and 276 were suffering
with contagious diseases. After such
conclusive proof Boston permanently
adopted the daily medical eXamina +ior
plan, and other cities have follow ID the
example. In New York there are LOT
medical examiners who visit g..
schools daily. and they have exclude,
