CARRYING THEIR CARTRIDGES.

For This Purpose the Beers Use n
Receptacle Called u Bando1ier in
Their Native Tongue.
The ordinary Boer method of carry
ing cartridges, as is well known, is III
a bandolier, either fitted for single
cartridges or, in the case of the Maui
ser, to hold clips of five. The former
system has been widely adopted al
ready by our troops. But the plan for
quick-loading and the perfection Of a
cartridge-c carrier must be awarded to
the waistcoats which were in use by
the better class Of Beers These are
made of khaki and supplied with
tWenty-four pockets in several rows,
closely touching one another, and each
containing a chip full Of five .Mauser
cartridges. This. waistcoat has only
to be seen for it's advantages to be in,
stantly appreciated. The weight is
evenly distributed, the cartridges are
easily got at and not liable to be lost,
and, lastly, the whole surface of the
.closely-pac,led cartridges forms a pro,
tect1ve shield over the heart and lungs
by no means to be despised, for, al
though not proof against a direct hit,
it would probably turn many a bullet
striking at an angle.-SaturGay Re

Girls Essay on Boys.

At a recent, school examination for
girls, this composition was handed in
by girl of twelve: 0
The boy is not an animal, yet they
can be heard to a considerable dis
lance. When a boy hollers he opens
his big mouth like frogs, but girls hold
their tongue till they are spoken to,
and then they answer respectable and
tell just how it was. A boy thinks
himself clever because he can wade
where the water is. deep. When the
boy grows up he is called a husband,
and then he stops Wading and stays
out nights, but the groWn-up girl is a
widow and keeps house. New York

they put aside their dignity and run
from curb to curb in zig-zag fashion,
lodging under the nose Of a horse,

the street is taken UP by four trolley
