A simple Life.

The main duties of wife, according
to traveller in Central Africa. are the
cultivation and preparation of the food
of her husband and children, She has
to do all the hoeing required, and this
generally occupies the morning and
forenoon. On her return she has to
wash and pound the chimanga seeds
into ufa, which is the staple diet, and
pay attention to the brewing of popbe
(native beer). When the ufa is cooked,
so little does her lord and master APP
preciate all this work, so little does
he even care for her, that she may
not share his meal, but wait patiently
for what he may leave, or if he has not
left enough, wait till he has finished
eating before she may cook some for
herself. Such a thing as women and
girls eating out Of the same pot as the
men and boys is never known.-N. Y.

writer of the Boer. anthem.

The national anthem of the Beers
was written by an old lady who is at
present living peaceful, obscure life
in Holland. This lady, Miss Catherine
Felicia Van Rees, was born in Hol-
land at Zutphen in 1881. She is an ex-
cellent musician and in her youth
she composed several operetta5 which
were performed by the Choral society
of Utrecht. IN 1875 Mr.. Burgers, who
had become president of the South
African republic, begged her to write
a national anthem for the Transvaal,
and in few, hours the lady did so by
writing both woras and music. The
burghers were SO pleased with the
composition that the vol,ssraad OF
Pretoria officially. accepted the work
and sent Miss Van Rees a letter of
thanks and eongratu.ations.-Chicago

And in what length of time? asks
Prof. Harissot, of. the French acad-

third by calculating that at the usual

been prompt, aud 1t is now known that
every state and territory west of the
Mississippi, most of the prin cipal cities
and all of the national com mercial

have present every delegate who has
