from Maseru. was probably final at

Lord Roberts has now spread a net with
some 10000 or more men. ana 80 guns,
covering the whole eastern semi-circle
around Wepener, while General Hamilton
has occupied the water works, practically

accounts for the slow progreee Of the

well informed OF the British plans as
they hitherto have been they are likely

BENEFITS or RIDING 4 HOBBY.

One of these resourcefuI benefactors OF the race
has now found the panacea for brain fag 10 be the
cultivation Of a hobby. A hobby is the salvation
OF thousands every year, it seems, although they
are quite ignorant OF the fact that 1t has only been
that guinea camera that golf outfit or that col
lection of post cards which has individually pre-
served them from lunacy idiocy. Ii does not in
the least matter what form hobby takes, so
long as il is something which produces kind OF
miniature thunderstorm in our brain cells now and
then. But cannot all garden, or caricature our
friends In amateur photographic postage stamps
and beetles do not appeal 10 every one, and china
and curos. ancient jewelry and old prints are not
within every ones reach. However, the columns
of the daily press open to all and a most
celleut method of producing that necessary storm
seems. is that OF writing letters to the papers
one also constitute ones self a local busy
body and general nuisance; hours practice 4
day the baSppes might also prove excellent
tonic, and there are persons so strangely cOnsti-
tuted 10 ind the collection Of all sorts
dttOns of birds and beasts conducive brain rest.
But what Is one mans hobby may obviously be
another mans poison. However IL is a case of
every one for himself herself That nerve
storm has got 10 be produced somehow. and if A
