The wickedest Bit of Sea.

Nine out of ten travellers would tell in
quirers that the toughest piece of wa
ter is that cruel stretch in the English
channel, and nine out of ten travellers
would say what was not true. AS a
matter of fact, "the wickedest bit of
sea" is not in the Dover strait, or in
yachting, for example. from st. Jean
de Luiz up to Pauillac, or across the
Mediterranean race" from Cadiz to
Tangier, nor is it in rounding Cape
Horn, where there is what sailors call
a ''true" sea. The ''wickedest sea" is
encountered in rounding the Cape of

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
The Higher the Purpose the Rarer
the Achievement.

The Higher the Purpose the Rarer
the Achievement.
If by success we mean the full ac-
complishment of an end, the actual
reaping of harvest of results, then it
is undoubtedly true that the higher
and nobler the purpose the rarer will
be the success. If we aim to relieve a
mans hunger, we can quickly succeed
in the easy task, but If we aim to in
spire him with desire to earn his own
bread the work is more difficult and
the success far more problematical.
If we would restrain a thief from rob-
berry, the prison bars and locks insure
success, but if we would make an hon
est man of him our task is complex
one. and success may be afar off. We
undertake to teach child to read. If
with requisite effort we follow up our
task. we are successful. but if we as
pire to raise the educational standard
of our community how arduous the
task, how uncertain the result, how
questionable the success!
The low man sees little thing to do,
Sees it and does it;
The high man, with great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows it.
Is his life, then, failure? No; let
us never imagine that any high pur-
pose, any noble thought any generous
emotion, any earnest effort, is ever lost.
We may never witness its growth, we
may not live to gather it's fruit or even
to see its blossoms, but we may safely
fr,1c OF hnr nd nf
time the harvest will be abundant, and
success, long hidden, shall become ap-
parent.-Philadelph Ledger.

1t Is inferred that the Beers cap

The news that the shutting on OF
Lord Roberts communication with
the outer world was accompanied by
such a serious loss came like a bolt
from a comparatively clear sky. In
London, until the news came, it was
thought that the destruction of the
railroad was accomplished by Free
Staters who were avoiding rather
than annihilating the British detach-
ments stationed at the point attacked.
A Reuter- dispatch from Maseru,
dated June II, s:35 p. m, says: Eff
