A BOER WIFE.
VroueW De Wet and Her Attitude
Towards the British.

The London Chronicles Natal CORE
spondent, who has been visiting one of
the detention camps, has had an inter-
view with Mrs. De Wet, wife of the
Boer general, which reveals her atti-
tude toward the British and her views
as to Boer resistance. The Boer vrouw
did not like her fairly comfortable
quarters in the camp, but was perfect
~ willing to be supported by the Brit
ish government. On this point her in
terviewer asked:
could you not take a house in the
town if you liked?
"They won't give me one," she an.
swered.
81 don't mean that" said. eff you
choose to take a house like any one
else and pay for it, there is no one to
stop you. You are not prisoner"
"Why should pay for t?' she cried.
"Let the English government do that.
1t is their duty"
"Ah, it is also very hard, tante, is it
not, that you should never hear from
your husband"
"Yes," she replied, looking at me
keenly.
ventured the query direct, "Of
course you never do hear from him?
"How can I?' she answered. 'The
English won't let me-"
"And l suppose he won't surrender
"Never," she answered, with every
appearance of pride. "He will let him.
self be killed sooner than surrender"
"And what do you think of it?' ]

She rose from her seat suddenly and
pointed at the floor. 81 would rather
have him buried there" she said. than
that he should give in"

Water BOiIS in the Well.

A we'll was recently dug on the lot
of Mr.. Frank Fender in the northern
part of the city, water being reach
ed at depth of about twenty feet. A
strange thing in connection with the
we'll is the fact that the water appears
to be boiling like pot all OF the time.
You can hear it's ebullitions before
you reach the well, and to appearances
the water IS churned up from below
like water into which lime has been
thrown. Parties who have seen it say
that there is a stream of water flowing
through the bottom of the well, it roll
ing so swiftly as to make the water
appear to be boiling from the top

OH for. the
Children.

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anemic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like bill because
we are so careful in making it
pleasant to take.

CURING RATTLESNAKE BITE.
Mother Sucked Poison from the
Wound of Her Child.

Little Maxwell, the 10 months old
son of H. Fl. Merritt, was bitten by a
rattlesnake Tuesday afternoon while
playing in company with some other
children, in a field near where it's
father was at work. The reptile meas
ured three feet in length. The father
corded the leg just below the knee,
caught a young chicken, cut it in half
aud applied it to the bite, which drew
somesif not all of the poison out. The
child was then carried to Dr. Walkers
sanitarlum at Cairo, distance of six
miles. After arriving there the
mother of the child sucked some of
the poison into her mouth and spat it
out. At last accounts the child was
thought to be out of danger. This
act of the mother, together with the
application of the chicken probably
saved the little fellows life.-Thomas

A STEADY WORKER.


Many people use coffee day after
day without an idea of the serious
work 1t does with nerves. stomach,
bowels, and sometimes with the eyes.
heart and kidneys. It's work is done
gradually, that is, the poison affects
the nerve centers a little to-day and a
little tomorrow and so on, and finally
the nerve cells are slowly broken down
and then Nature begins the call for
help.
1t is safe proposition that If a
man or woman has headaches, stomach
trouble, or any such ailments come on
at intervals, something is wrong with
the food or drink, and this question
should be investigated carefully, for
health is the best capital anyone can
possess and wllfully breaking Il down
is a piece Of childish folly.

A Maonificent INSTRUMENT.

The fine pipe organ which Dr.. Noble
has placed in his home for Mrs. Noble IS
a little different from most pipe organs
The front row Of pipes is made up Of
real pipes. IN most pipe organs the
front row is counterfeit because it is
so difficult TO get pipes which VIII make
a symmetrical row. Dr. Noble insisted
on the real article. however. and the
manufacturers took equal sized pipes
from the nine sets and placed them in
front Il cost a pretty penny 70 have
it arranged so. There are no reeds in the
instrument. The music is made by pipes,
the same sort OF principle being involved
as in boys whistle from a twig OF box
elder. There are rine sets Of pipes each
consisting of 90 pipes. or IN al about
800. The organ occupies the space Of a
good sized room The wind is pumped
by small hydraulic engine The in
strument is exquisitely toned and beauti-
fully coiored. Mrs. Noble. who is an
accomplished organist, says that it has
always been her ambition since she was

Good Form at Funerals.

Somebody ought 70 write a book on the
good form Of attending a funeral. Il
gives one more worry as to what he
ought 10 wear and how ne ought TO act
IN following the remains of q dead friend
than any other ethical subject Ought
one smoke? That was question that
confronted Col. Iocelyn one day in
funeral procession and he says he never
worried more over anything in his life.
He was riding with William Campbell.
former chief OF police. and ne appealed
10 him for light on the subject This
started Captain Campbell to worry about
it. for he had forgotten whether gentle
men smoked in funeral professions in
Kentucky. They concluded or agreed
that smoking at a funeral was not in
good form Both Of them having genteel
instincts their conclusion was probably
right But others differ with them and
point out the fact that in many European
countries pipes. tobacco. cigars and Gig
arettes are served TO people at funerals;
and IN this country it is not unusual for
one TO smoke away the queer feeling
while setting up with 4 corpse. At any
rate little things OF this kind worries
a man 4 week or two ago a well known
business man had 70 attend n funeral;
While in bed The previous night the ques-
ton presented itself as TO whether he
could wear a straw hat next day. He
asked his wife about it and she was OF
the opinion that it would not be appro-
pirate But he had no other hat that
was 1T 10 wear. He asked sam Hess
about it next morning and be also
thought It would be better form to wear
a black hat-and 50 he bought one He
went TO the funeral and heard the min
