A Boer Mnid,s Love Letter.

London Express: When Corporal
Smith, of walsall, entered Cronje's
lager OF Paardeberg with other Brit
ish soldiers among the unconsldered
TITLES he picked up were some scraps of
paper bearing Dutch writing. They
were of no use to the corporal, SO he
facetlously inclosed them in a letter
home, with the Joculnr warning, Don't
read It ALL"
But a couple of llnguists Mt Walsall
who saw the letter took the trouble to
translate 1t, and a pathetic little story
II revealed. 1t was the eplstle OF Boer
maiden, one Anna, 10 her far-away and
beloved Hans, with his commando, con-
graduating him on his birthday,
breathing prayers for his safety, and
yearnlng for his safe return. 4 few
lines may show its tenderness, its So
lIcitudes, and Its fears:
I'VE never see any man here now,
where formally father and you were
riding about continually. Hans. the
days are so. so long, and l scarcely
know how to pass them. Hans. do you
remember that Sunday in the garden
when first you whispered words Of love
to me? Ieannot think OF II now with
out sadness. - 49, Hans, / wish
you much Joy on your birthday, and l
hope the Lord will spare you to me,
that we may be olasped in each others
arms again IN health"
1.-THE grass Is green, the rose is red,
Forget me never when I'm dead.
Has Hans persisted by bullet OF Brit
lsh liRssman, lance or South Wales
bushman. or sword Of dashing Hussar,
or viii he return to cheer his Annals
heart?

disclose an instance in which the In
crease has been as much as % per cent,
while that Of the United states mean
while, has been more than $50 per
cent.
An examination of the details Of our
own expectation of manufactures
shows thatlt is in the production, manu-
facture and expectation OF metals that
we seem to excel. The history Of ma
lions and peoples shows that great
groups OF people frequently excel in
certain Industries, and the growth of
our expectation, as well as our domestic
production OF manufactures, seems to
point to metals as our most successful
line Of work. especially at the present
time. In 1893. manufactures Of metals
formed less than 20 per cent Of our to-
tai expectation Of manufactures, and in
1900 viii be about IS per cent Of our ex-
ports OF manufactures. The increase
in expectation of metals and nanufac-
lures thereof in the decade Of lSss-1SsS
was 33s per cent, while the Increase in
the expectation of all manufactures in
that time was 10 per cent, and the
Increase in manufactures other than
those of metal during that time was but
So per cent. In this statement Of the
expectation of manufactures OF metals,
only those articles composed exclusively
of metals are included; those made up
In part Of metals. such as railway cars,
agricultural machinery, etc, being In
cluded in the other manufactures. The
rapid increase in the expectation of
manufactures Of metals is shown by the
fact that the expectation Of manufac-
lures Of metals is shown by the exports
of brass and manufacturers thereof in
1889 were but S1,S2l.137. and in 1900 will
reach $780, 900; instruments FOR scIen-
tific purposes Increased from H,933,SSS
to S2,T7O,sO3, and in the year about to
end wifi reach nearly S6,0Oo,0G0; copper
and its manufactures. which amounted
In 1889 to S2,S4S,954, will be more than
100000 in 1900; iron and steel in
creased from S2I,l5G,O77, in 1899 to s7O.-
4O6,Ss5 In 1928, while in the fiscal year
1900 it will exceed lOO,OOO,OOO.
Another interesting fact developed by
the examination of the figures is that
the European countries in which man
ufacturers have long been established
furnish as satisfactory market for
our manufactured goods as do the coun-
tries where manufacturing has not yet
been largely developed. In reapers
and mowers, clocks and watches. sew
ing machines, bicycles and the various
manufactures of iron and steel. and
many other articles Of the higher grades
Of manufacture. the European countries
in which manufacturing plants and ma
chlnery and skilled workmen abound,
furnish market for large share Of
our exports, thus failing to justify the
expressed fear that development Of
manufactures in countries where we
are now seeking n foothold for our com
merce would destroy their value as a
permanent market.
