AFRICAN TREK OK.

At the present moment, when the
efficiency of our army in South Africa
largely depends on the stability of its
transport, 1t may not be amiss to con-
slider t--e capabilities Of the trek, o
transport OK, who, after all, despite
mules and traction engines is the
malnstay of South African transport

al authorities in the Cape Colony and
Natal are now busily engaged in buy

can, as is testified by their numerous
Advertisements in Colonial papers
oxen are less expensive than mules.
They DIRE slow, but sure, never doing
more than three miles an hour, Or

card Zulu or Natal OK. which thriyes

Oxen, however, require very careful
handling, and must on no account lie
overdriven; they must have at least
SIX hours day for grazing rurpc SEES
IN the winter they can find a picking
on the parched veldt where a mule OF
horse would fail. They are naturally in
poor condition till the green grass OF

are very liable to lung sickness and
red water, and whole spans sometimes
perish from these fell diseases. In the
winter time they suffer terribly from
the cold, and on no account should they

The small child of today whose

her offspring should be very different
from the youngster of twenty years
ago. If he is trained according to the
sort vulgarly termed as spanking

to learn through a series of subter-

nothing but games, and he lisps Of

stories that are told him are redolent
of sweetness and light. Is "Cinder-
ella" related for his benefit, it is

stepmother as not SO bad after all, for
it is plainly stated that she doomed
the fair heroine to seat among the
