AS to the danger of pasturinS rape
access to salt at all times and to an adj
jacent pasture have been helpful as
preventives. according to the Ontario
station. On frosty mornings, when
sheep eat freely Of rape. especially Of
the leaves Of plants that are immature,
there Is some danger that bowel disor-
ders will be induced, which may cause
death. When the sheep have been re-
moved the previous evening and get n
moderate feed of oats In the morning
before they return, the danger is to
some extent lessened. 1t is at least
questionable If there is any profit in
pasturing rape after the stalks have
been made brittle with hard frost.

Women Demand an Equal Chance.

At the next session of the Georgia
general assembly a bill will be intro
duced the purpose of which is to open
the doors of the textile department Of
the Georgia School of Technology to
women more than IS years old. The wo-
men of the state are greatly interested
in the bill, and a woman writer in the
Atlanta Journal has given some strong
sentimental and practical reasons in
favor of its passage. She calls atten-
ton to the fact that Of all Industries
none is more distinctively feminine
than is the textile art. 1t is but natural
that women should follow the loom and
the spindle in their passage from the
home to the factory. She reminds her
readers that whereas there has been an

women of Industries once given over

AdaptabiIity of the Jack Tar..
For long time the naval brigade was
quartered at the old ruined hotel south of
the Modder river The officers slept in the
billiard room, or what was left of it, since
only the western wing had been spared from
total destruction. There is one thing no.
ticeable in the naval camp-the lack of
tents-for the admiralty has not provided
the landing force with any such luxury.
but the sailors have adapted themselves to
prevailing circumstances. Their camp is
composed of little huts of corrugated iron
roofing, sheet iron or empty boxes, but in
these kennels the sailor seems to live con-
tent. He has more adaptablity than the
general run of the "Tommes,' many of
whom come fresh from the factory towns
or the crowded city of London, and re-
quire a six months seasoning before they
are capable of looking out for themselves.
But one cannot help wondering whether
the sailor does not long for sight of the
blue water and the clear sweep OF hOiy-
stoned decks. Here he has had to forego
his proverbial cleanliness. 1t is impossible
to keep clean during the dry season in
the veldt. The wind raises clouds of pene-
trating dust that gets into the food and
the coffee, that tinges the complexion and
at times seems to flavor the whole atmos-
phere. In the English navy there is what
is known as the beard regulation. Men
have either to be clean shaver or have
full boards: it is safe to say that not one
man in twenty of the landed forces has
seen a razor since he came up country.
Even some of the officers. usually the pink
of neatness. have cheek and chin covered
with an unkempt stubble.
Youthful Fighting Men.
One of the things that impresses itself
upon the observer is the youthfulness of
most of the fighting forces. But this is bound
to be so with those first in the field, owing
to England's system of maintaining her re-
serve. AS the latter are called into active
service the men will be older and will have
had more eXperience-men who have served
through the frontier wars in India or fought
along the Nile. The sailors, even the non
commissioned officers, are all very young
but they have been trained from boyhood
as landing parties as well for shipboard
life, and they are combination of rife
men and artillery.

The New Dry Air Gerrnicide is

In spite of the thousand and one

number of deaths from these diseases.
Not until 1SDS was there any reduce
ton, whatever, noticed; but in 1899,
this decrease became so pronounced
as to attract the attention of the
Health Authorities, and, on January
9Th. 1900, an editorial regarding this
reduction in death rate appeared in
the United States Health Reports.

Secretary Dick of the republican national

In reply to your esteemed favor of re-

fere in the selection of delegates. yet, in or

advisable that, so far as practicable, dele

should be composed of those not holding

There are, of course, justifiable excep-

Jack Ashore in Khaki.
The South African veldt is essentially a
khaki country, with hills and plains and at
times the sky of the same prevailing yellow
brown. We have Jack ashore in khaki
also. If it were not for his broad-brimmed,
dust-colored hat and short canvas leggins
at a little distance he might be taken for
an ordinary Tommy" All of his nautical
ity, so to speak, is lost under the severity
of this uniform. Some of the line regi-
ments wear distinguishing badges their
helmets, but it takes only a. few weeks to
reduce the field service clothing to its
much-soiled and often slept in appearance,
and the broad-brimmed hat and an occa-
Sional Sea-faring expression is all that dis
tinguishes the bluejaeket from the -redcoat.

Eject of Lyddite Shells.
During the battle of Magersfontein the
huge shells whrred over heads of the re-
serves and the fighting line, bursting with
the roaring explosion that is now well
known, lifting tons Of rock and debris high
into the air, and drifting away in a cloud
of greenish smoke. The actual effect of a
lyddte shell is still unknown at this writ
ing. but from Boer sources it has been as
certained that the destruction brought by it
is terrific.
One of the prisoners is said to have stated
that lyddite shell practically destroyed a
whole commando" killing or wounding
over sixty men. At the battle of December
II, Jack was well behind the line and was
used only in the capacity Of heavy artill-
cry man, but at Belmont and Grasspan he
was in the van and advanced to the at
tack with his short knife bayonet on his
rifle. Many of the men from H. M. s.

when the thousands Of cheering, shout

the coach of Brigadier General Funs-
ton and the officers of his regiment,
and women held babies up to be

While Mrs. Funston is so proud of

Mrs. Funston has number of gowns

consists of a loose fitting bodice and
