THE BOER AND THE BRlTON.

The Former Excels as a Marksman, but
the latter Takes Chances.
I have often been asked as to what
thought Of the relative merits of the
Beers and British as soldiers. saws
Adelbert S. Hay, United States consul
at Pretoria, in Golfers Weekly. NV
opinion is worth very little, but from
what 7 have seen I can form an esti-
mate. Of the British, both men and
officers too much cannot be said. The
British officer, it seems to me,uis at
times foolishly brave. That is to say,
he is impressed with the necessity Of
inspiring his men and showing a con-
tempt for death or danger. It has
often been said that this is magnifi-
cent, but it is not war. I am not quite
sure that I agree as to that When
the man in the ranks knows that his
officer is not Sinking and that he has
no fear of consequences, it makes him
courageous and inspires him to do his
best. The English soldier is plucky,
dogged and usually contented. I do
not think he has the adaptability of
the American soldier, but he impresses
me very favorably. The Boer. of
course, has the advantage over the
Britisher-as I think he would have
over the soldiers of any nation in the
World-of being natural born shot.
From infancy the Boer has been hunt
ing big game and has been accustomed
to the use Of firearms. Distances on
the veldt are extremely deceptive ow-
ing to the atmospheric conditions. and
it is difficult for a man not trained to
that form of outdoor life to be able To
accurately determine the range. Z The
Boer, on the other hand, having al
ways led the life of a hunter with a
keenly trained eye, has his adversary
at disadvantage. That explains why
in the principal engagements the loss
Of life on the British side was SO heavy
and the casualties among the Beers
paratiVely few. The British in
fantryman is probably as good a
marksman as can be found in anv
other army, but he is hopelessly out
cfassed as against the Boer. ~ s.

More than two centuries ago Smith
field hosier named Ryder had clever
son whom he was anxious to put into
the church, while the boy was reso-
lutte to be a lawyer. So obstinately
was the point contested between father
and son that it began to seem probable
that the boy would have to become a
hosier like his father in default Of a
solution. Fortunately the matter was
submitted for final decision to an old
friend of the family, who pumped in

If there is one Indian name among
the thousands in use in Maine which
has been misspelled more than another
it is that by which Wytopitlock is

is pronounced the name has come to
be a terror for people not proficient in

A Sleepy ComplIm en- t.

e.. Sleepy Compliment
Mr.. Irving Bacfs:ller, the author of
Eben Holden, tells with relish of an
intended compliment he received about
his book. He knows it was intended
to be kind, but says he has an inward
misgiving that it was Just. Eben Hol-
den had appeared and the public were
beginning to read it. Mr.. Bachelor,
like any author, was eager to know
what the public, not the critics,
thought of his book. But, as he said,
unbiased opinion is hard to get. He
went to a dinner party one night. and
a very nice old lady, to whom he was
presented, said to him with earnest
ness, holding his hand: Dear Mr..

from 78 to IA, 343. Vernon county,
Wisconsin, was formerly known as Bad
Axe. Minnesota once named a county
Toombs, then changed 1t to Andy

called Gin Grass, but it was changed
to. Wells. Twenty six states have hon

GOVERNS The PRICE OF FURs
Fashion Regulates the Selling Price of
s"~' the Different Varieties

The price of fur is governed to a
great extent by fashion. Many years
ago beaver was in demand; then mink;
now it is marten. Mink is also be-
coming a faVorite once more. Skunk is
used largely, being dyed and sold I'M
der the name of some more fashion
able brother, such as sable. Beaver is
3 very heavy-skinned animal; also
the fur is thick and Of great weight,
which initiates against its use. This
fur Is used to a great extent in max
Ing the finer quality OF hats. The yield
of beaver skins has fallen off greatly,
the decrease being fair illustration of
how the fur animal is passing. In
l875-76 the return of beaver pelts from
Northern Canada was $4,000. Last
year there were about 5000 skins
brought in. Marten is light, beautiful
and warm, therefore there is much
sense in it's vogue. Mink is probably
the most beautiful of all fur outside of
that of the four royal animals-sea-
otter, black fox, sable and SEAL A sea-
otter has been known to bring nearly
two thousand dollars, and single
black fox has sold for half as much. A
choice dark marten would bring from
BIS to $40; but the general price is
from IS to $40. Otter is worth from
g to s12; fisher about the same; bea-
Yer, SIS; mink, 81 to 81; and skunk, 81
to So. Lynx are caught in great num-
bers in the north, and the skin makes
fair lining for cloaks. Considering the
size it is very cheap from So to So.
Bear, musk-ox, wolf and badger have
taken the place of the almost extinct
buffalo as robes. The musk-ox. skin,
worth about $25 in its raw state, is. a

Lotteries, love stories and politics
have founded more British peerages
than ancient descent and deeds Of
arms. In the sixteenth century Lon
don Bridge was covered with shops,
and the most prosperous shopkeeper
on the bridge was William Hewitt, a
worthy linen draper, who had accumu
lated fortune, and from his promi-
hence. nence in his guild looked forward to
changing his yardstick for a knights
sword and getting a titled husband for
MS al only daughter, Anna, who was his
nelress. In the shop Of William Hewitt
WAS an apprentice, Edward Osborne,
who naturally fell desperately in love
with his masters daughter, the fair
Anna. Old Hewit's family lived over
the shop, and the apprentice boarded
with them, sleeping under the counter
IN the store at night, as all apprentices
do In story books. In fact, young Os-
borne was real story book appren-
tee from beginning to end. One day
Anna, the heiress, who probably was
leaning too far out Of the window to
catch q glimpse Of the gallants pass
ing In their barges down the river, lost
;. ner balance and fell into the water.
IN after her jumped Edward Osborne
and brought her safe to the stairs.
4 After that, of course, they were mar
RED IN spite of the old merchants op-
position. The son-in-1aw was taken
z INTO partnership, and the business
I hourished more than ever. Hewitt be-
came knight and then died, leaving
all MS wealth to his daughter and her
! husband. The old shop on the bridge
was abandoned, and Edward Osborne,
discovering that his family, or at least
Iam1ly Of the same name, had been
. known in Kent as far back as the days
OF Henry VI, set up a coat-of-arms and
became a man of affairs and a politi-
clan. He was elected lord mayor of
London London and received the honor of
.knlghthood from Queen Elizabeth. Ed
ward the apprentice now became Sir
Edward Osborne and was weighty
8 eltlzen OF London in those days. He
increased his store and picked out good
alliances for his children, so that his
grandson married into the nobility and
ais great-grandson became lord high

Inc Merry Monarch. Charles H. show
cred honors upon his treasurer, and
Thomas Osborne, the great-grandson
Of the apprentice who had made for
2tunate rescue of his masters daughter,
became Duke of Leeds, title which
his descendants hold today. One of the
z apprentices descendants, the seventh
Duke of Leeds, married Miss Cation Of
Maryland, a granddaughter of Charles
carroll Of Carrollton. In the Scots
Guards is an officer, Luke White. This

Washington, Dec. Members OF the
indian committee of the house and
senate expect the Fifty-scventh con
gress to enact legislation of far reach
ng Importance to Indian Territory.
Senators and Representatives agree
hat some kind OF territorial govern
nent should,be provided for the 300, 600
people Of the territory who are now
under government by the federal
courts. The leaders are greatly en-
,ouraged by the strong words of the
president in his message that "the time
has arrived whenlwc should definitely
make up our minds to recognize the
Indian a. an individual and not as n
member Of a tribe" and that "the In
dian should be treated as an individual
like the white man"
The secretary of the interior. in line
with the policy of the president, is of
the opinion. that congress should pass
bill establishing n territorial form of
government for Indian Territory along
the same general plan as that upon
which the government of Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona is based. He
will bring this subject to the attention
of members of the Indian committee.
Representative Curtis of Kansas, said
that every member of congress who
had investigated the situation has been
convinced that some kind of legislation
TO supplement the laws now in force
was demanded. He predicted that
when congress took the subject up it
would be found that the most practical
way to deal with conditions there
would be by the passage of bill
