What Beers Demand.

The broad lines of Great Britain's
terms are now known to the Govern
ment representatives at Pretoria. and
Oh these reports the Cabinet is ap.
parently shifting the responsibility Of
taking advantage Of all opportunities.
provided no cardinal principles be
sacrificed.
The Government has ordered the
cable and telegraph lines between
London and Pretoria to be kept clear
to insure the prompt transmission OF
Lord Kitchener's messages.
There is good reason to believe that
the Beers are vigorously demanding n
representative government and that
this demand is opposed with equal
vigor by the British representatives.
Il Is understood that the Beers strong
ly oppose the long delay proposed by
CHEAT Britain before a representative
government he granted the former re.
pl blics, and that they also insist on
the number of Boer seats in the
council being specihed.

Marriages In Japan are arranged by
parents, or officious elder brothers, q
girl having but little control over her
life, and often not seeing her future
lord and master until she meets him
at the altar. There are, however, now

shaped eyes. black hair and oive;c COM
plexions make all japanese girls APP

their manner, quiet, reserved, gentle
and kindly. The important part of
their toilet is the couture. The hair is
deliberately arranged twice a week,
and it must stay fixed until the hair
dresser calls again. For fear that the
structure will get tumbleA down when
she is asleep, the Japanese girl dis
penses with pillows and sleeps with a
wooden rest under the back of her
neck, and the head quite unsupported.
