Oct. 10, 1899, signed by Messrs. n. +.

]. A. Van Zyl, which says among
other things:
What may, what can, we colonial
Africanders do in this sorrowful time?
Join in the work of warfare with the
weapons? The law and our duty as
British subjects forbid this, even
should other circumstances not oppose
such course of action.
But what neither the law nor the
duty of the subject forbids, and what,
moreover, agrees in every respect with
all principles of religion and human
ity, is the Offering of help to the
wounded, to the widows and the
orphans"
In the name of the Africander bond,
on behalf of the citizens of the South
African republic and their noble ally,
the Orange Free State, appeal to all
Americans to show their sympathy
with the brave people who are now.

that they are, and all that they hope

Probably the largest and best man
aged Christian and benevolent work in
the West, says the Denver News, is
that carried on in this city and known
as the City Temple Institutional
Church. Its pastor, Dean Peck, has
just made his report to the board of
the work of the past year. 1t is as
follows:
In the conduct of the four institu-
tionS we have operated during the
year, twenty-eight people have been
Employed: matrons, teachers, secretar-
les, janitors and other helpers. Aside
from the Christian and benevolent
work which we have carried on, our
family of children, girls and workers,
throughout the year. has averaged 161
persons. To feed this family over 1I5.
600 meals have been provided.
This work has been done at n cost of

The Sound OF an Explosion.

Mr.. Charles Dawson finds that when
Kurtzs alkali works at st. Helens,
Eng, were blown up by the explosion
of eighty tons of chlorate of potash
the noise was heard at MARBLE, twenty
eight miles away. The doors. win
dows and chimneys of workmen's cot
tages within few hundred yards of
the works were dismantled, and within
the radius of a mile hardly window
escaped. At the battle of Corunna
1900 barrels of gunpowder blew up,
causing the ground to rock for miles.
The blast at He'll Gate, New York

Systematic living has made n great i'm
provement in many of the girls.
III.-The Young Women's Friendly
Club.-It has been nearly three years
since this institution was opened. 1t
has been an unqualified success. 1t
has come to the point where. with the
exception of the furnishings, it pays its
own way and cannot therefore, in any
sense. be considered Il charity. 1t is II
work of love.
When the club was opened we hoped
to reach two classes of girls, namely.
those employed on small wages. and
those temporarily out of employment
and without money. The club is n
home for self-supporting young wo-
men. 1t undertakes to give all the
comforts and privileges of home life at
the minimum of cost. 1t offers its pro
lection to young women without homes
1t does not cater to young women re-
ceiving good salaries. One plentifully
supplied with money can always find
comfort and protection. But there are
many. respectable and refined, who are
compelled to work for little pay. IL
these we open the doors of the club.
1t frequently happens, also. that a re
spectacle young woman faces an eN
igency. She is suddenly thrown out
of employment She is without means
She has no friends to whom she can
apply for money. To such, without
publicity. the club offers Il safe retreat
until the difficulty can be surmounted.

added the congressman, laughing, mo

WHO ARE IN WHO'S WHO?"
A Good Thing to Re Born an English

n poou 70 An EnEllah
Peer.
Nearly thirty years ago DR.. Galton,
in his Hereditary Genius" pointed
out how rarely man got into the die
tionaries of contemporary biography
before the age of so, and his statement
is true, even to the present day says
the Fortnightly Review; the mean age
of the persons mentioned in Who's
Who" is no less than 55, even though
several names are included of persons
who have had greatness thrust upon
them in the first decade of their lives.
1T is better to be born lucky than
rich,' says the proverb, but" adds a
distinguished humorist, ''if you can't
be either the next best thing is to be
born British peer" and this seems at
any rate justified by the large amount
of attention paid to the hereditary
house and the baronetcy by Who's
Who" no less than IL per cent Of its
entries being devoted to merely titular
distinctions. If these had been omit
ted, the mean age of distinction would
probably rise even higher than 55, and.
at any rate, DR.. Cations threshold
limit of so for entry into the biograph-
ical dictionaries is thoroughly well JUS
tilted. Now there are only about 4000,-
600 Englishmen over so in the British
empire and the proportion of those that
reach eminence in the various collec-
tions l have mentioned would, conse-
quently, be 2,664 per million for Who's
Who" 1000 for the Dictionary of Ma
tional Biography, and 1882 for THE
Men of the Time" This latter publ
cation seems to have lowered it's stan
dard in the last thirty years, as DIR.
Galton. in 1869, reckoned that 435 of
every million Englishmen over so at
tanned sufficient reputation to earn a
place in that receptacle. 1t must, be-
sides, be remembered that we have
taken colonies into our calculation,
and, as the colonial contingent is nat
urally small, this would tend to mag
Nifty the seeming increase of distinction
in Men of the Time"
