vletorIa Cross Comparatively Rare.

Taking into account the facts that
the South African war has now lasted
for sixteen months, and that over a
quarter of million men have been
employed on our side, thirty-nine Vie
toria Crosses, the number granted up
to the present date, is not excessive.
and it need not be feared that the
value of the decoration will not be
maintained. During the Russian war,
when the cross was instituted, some
seventy were distributed, and though
this war lasted roughly two years the
number of British troops engaged was
much smaller than on the present oc-
caslon. The Indian mutiny was also
fertile in individual acts of heroism,
for which the cross was awarded. A
cross was some thirty years ago given
for an act of gallantry in rescuing
some soldiers from drowning in the
Indian Ocean. This is the only in
stance of its being earned except under
fire in the presence of the enemy. and
it is likely to remain 50. = London

She may carry hod OF bricks or

in the Austrian capital to see women

silk and satin taffetas into popular

monkey. for instance, have q certain
word or expression for 'water?"

natural state very seldom, IL ever,
drink water They eat berries and
fruits which contain water. But
there is NO doubt that animals talk in
certain ways among themselves,
