A GLIMPSE AT
CAPETOWN'S RULER


! No one has figured more prominently
In South, African affairs since the out
break of the Boer war than Lord Al
fred Miner, who has been governor of
Cape Colony and high commissioner
Of South Africa since 1897. While Sir
Alfred's duties have not led to the
fighting line, as the head and front Of
the civil government he has led
strenuous life.
The responsibilities resting upon him
by virtue of his position at the chief
base OF supplies and operations In
South Africa have been very heavy
and at times exceedingly trying. Yet
he has discharged them all in a man
ner that has won for him the praise
of his countrymen
Lord Miner. who is now in his forty
ninth year. can lay no claim to blue
blood, for while on his mothers side
he is the grandson of a British general
his father was a DR.. Charles Miner.
professor of the University Of Tubin-
gen. Young Miner was not only born
in Germany. but likewise received his
early training as a German boy at
German school before going to Kings
college, and then to oxford, where he
acquired much fame as scholar.
After taking his degree young Mil
ner studied law and was called to the
bar in 1881. Not finding this TO his
liking Ne entered journalism and be-
came member Of w T. Stead's Pail
Mall Gazette. He remained with the
Gazette until 1885. when he entered
politics.
His first essay in politics was disap-
pointing. He stood for parliament as
a Liberal and was defeated. For the
next three years he was private secre-
tary of Mr.. Goshen. then chancellor of
the exchequer He was thus behind
the scenes while the great operation b.
converting the English debt was going
on and acquired knowledge OF finance
that has since been of great value.
Lord Miner. on the Recommendation
Of Mr.. Goshen. entered the Egyptian
service in 1850 and as undersecretarv
Of state for finance played an impor-
tant part in the development of that
country. The book which he wrote on
his return entitled England In Ecvpt"
ran through several editions ana is
recognized as the standard AUTHORITY

Loru Mliner was sent III the year OF the
queens jubilee to South Africa There
his duties were larger and more i'm
portant than any he had yet under
taken.
TO begin with, he was and is govern
or of the Cape of Good Hope, constitu-
tional sovereign Of a responsible col
ony, bound by the fleeing policies of
colonial ministers. Then, as high com
missioner, he is supreme ruler of a
great native population in Basutoland
and the Bechuana protectorate, gov
erning the semi-independent native
chiefs by means of local commission
erS. He also has supreme authority
over the territory of the Chartered
companies, but with no direct share in
its administration. When the Boer war
broke out and the two Boer republics
We're annexed. he was appointed ther
still retaining that office.
When lord Milner visited England
last year, he was made much of in
circles and was raised TO
the peerage by King Edward, taking
the title of Lord Miner of Cape Town.
He is described rs having a sharp, thin
face and as looking much older than he
really is. Lord Miner is bachelor.
His salary at Cape Town is $4,000 a
year besides a liberal allowance for
expenses.

How to Serve Strawberries.

DOUBTLESS God could have made a better
berry than the strawberry" said IZaak
Walton, but doubtless God never did"
After fresh berries with cream and sugar
the most popular way of serving straw
berries is in shOrtcake. Every housekeeper
has her own recipe for this, some preferring
a pie pastry, others one made like sweet
cake.
The following recipes will afford the
cook new ideas for serving the fruit:
Strawberry Cream-Sprinkle a pint of
fresh strawberries with sugar, then rub
through hair sieve. Whip up a half pint
of double cream till it is stiff, soak two
ounces of gelatin in half cupful of milk
whipped cream, a teaspoonful of sugar, the
juice of half a lemon and four drops of
cCchineal to color it. Now add gela tin
straining it through the sieve. and stir it
into the cream. Pour in a mold to set
Stra wberry Trifle-Put a layer of straw
berries in dish Dissolve some gelatin
and pour it over the berries. Upon this lay
sponge finger cakes and cover with enough
milk to make soft Make a thick GUS
tard Favored with vanilla and spread over
the cakes. Finally place on top quantity
of cream whisked with a little fine sugar
and favored with vanilla.
Strawberry Roll-Beat three eggs with
the weight of three eggs in sugar; then
put the weight of two eggs in -four and add
little baking powder. Beat all well up to-
gether. pour in fiat dish and bake for ten
minutes. When done, put on a dish, spread
with Strawberries, roll up brush a little
milk on the top and sprinkle with little
white sugar.

THE VELVET NECKLET.
An Old Fashion Again in Favor for
the Coming Summer.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A principal feature of smart dresses in
Paris just now is the absence of collars of
any kind. This fashion is very charming
to the owner of the short. plump neck, but
the woman of the long, swan-like throat is
very apt to look a trif1e lean and scraggy
if not well clothed.
Very few are the women who can jump
from high, close collars to no collars at all
with impunity. for the tall linen collars and
stiff, tight stocks have left their marks on
most thrOdtS But according to the beauty
doctor women should rejoice at the advent
of the cOllarleSS bodice, even if their thrOats
are not all that can be wished in plumpncsS
and whiteneSS, for every hour they are left
uncOnfined by a stiff fence of linen or silk
they improve in appearance and will grow
steadily fuller and fairer. BY way Of hast

dark band which is made on the neck by
high collars may be removed by laying
thick slices of cucumber close together on
a band of muslin, then tying the poultice

Ubiquitous Microbe.
From the London Telegraph.


Ruthless psychologists destroy, one by
one, our fondest illusions. Now faith in the
purity of glaciers must go the way of 9TH
er popular fallacies. Hitherto the man in
the street had imagined that were all the
waters of every city and plain polluted he
would still find immaculate springs in the
Alps. But NJ. Binst, who presides over a
chemical laboratory at the Pasteur Insti-
tute. having no such faith. obtained some
ice from the glaciers of Mont Blanc itself
and placed it under his pitiless microscope
His verdict skaters the dreams of noun
taineers. 1t appears that even the sum-
init, which so long remained untrodden by
human feet. has lost its purity, if it ever
had any. The ice in question, and water
melted therefrom, were found, on bacte-
biological analysis, to be ''peopled with
colonies of microbes The statement whic h
follows is particularly terrifying. 1t ap-
pears that the germs in question were
found to belong TO the most varied families
of bacteria" NJ. Binst accounts for the
pollution of the Mont Blanc glaciers by
surmising that the microbes have been
conveyed to the mountain peaks by the
winds sweeping the cities in the valleys.

COOPERATIVE TELEPHONES
Wisconsin Discovers How to Get a Ser
vice at Cheap Rates.

From the Municipal Journal.
The rebellion in Wisconsin against high
telephone rates and the formation of CO.
operative telephone exchanges to fight the
high-priced corporation has forced the old
company out of business. The movement
started at Grand Rapids. The telephone
rates were high and the company wouldn't
lower them protesting that it couldn't af-
ford to. A few of the kickers decided then
to run a telephone service of their own
A company was organized, with capital
of s., coo divided into 100 shares, each share
representing the cost of the installation of
a single instrument, Each stockholder was
allowed to hold only one share for every
instrument rented by him, and the owner
ship of the stock was absolutely confined to
renters of telephones. Dividends of l per
cent were to be paid on the stock monthly
Starting with eighty-three telephones the
exchanges grew till it had 300-a telephone
for every seventeen inhabitants of the
place. Experience proved that by charging
monthly rate of $225 for stores and 81
for residences, after payment of the orig
inal $50 subscription the company could
give service and increase its dividends to
~ per cent a month.
Thus its patrons had to pay monthly
only $3.50 for business service after deduct
ing the dividend. and only % cents for resi-
denceS. For each instrument the opera ting
expenses were 50 a year. 1t being a small
town with public opinion unanimously de-
manding cheap telephones there was no
difficulty about a franchise for Stringing
wires and there were no expensive under
ground conduitS to be built. And the more
the service grew the greater was its value
to the subscribers. OF course, the original
company could not compete with these
profitless prices and the company could not
buy up the cooperative exchange. because
sstock could be held only by users of tele-
phones. AS soon a subscriber ceased to
rent phone his share was Cancelled.
The old telephone company tried every
means to oust the newcomers, but it could
not be done. 1t offered telephones rent free
for three years, hoping to win away enough
of the cooperative subscribers to compel
the rest to go back to the original plan.
The new company replied by showing its
members what would happen to them
after three years and the co-operators stuck
together The result has been that the old
company has gone out of business and the
cooperative company is constantly increas-
ing it's service.
Besides Grand Rapids, Wausau, Merrill,
Mansfield and several other towns now
have cooperative telephone service There
is a group of these towns in the Wisconsin
valley and long g-distance lines between them
are now being projected

IN OLD ANNAPOLIS.
Interesting Associations of Revolu-
tionarv Times

On the visit of the distinguished party
from France, to take part in the ceremony
of unveiling the statue of Rochambeau, it
was appropriate that Annapolis was select
ed as the point of debarkation. For it was
from Annapolis that Count Rochambeau
and suite sailed for France, after he had
seen that Independence had been secured

merande, January 3, 17S3. While there is
no record that Rochambeau was at Annap-
oils for any considerable length of time,
yet it is known that the French troops were
quartered there for some time. When
dered to the Head of Elk, in March. 1871,
they were further detained, by being block

ed a land march of ten days TO the Elk,
when by water but one day would be re

one armed, under Commodore Nicholson,
the enemy was frightened off, and Lafay
cite was enabled to embark with his army
Subsequently the old town became the
scene of much military activity owing to
an expected attack by the British fleet Sew
eral French war vessels lay off the town,
and recruiting for the American army be-
came active there.
In August it became known that the Brit

included. 1t was at Annapolis on October
20 that the final victory of the revolution
was first celebrated, Count de Grasse send
ing the news of CORVALLIS surrender to
the governor by messenger.
1t was at Annapolis also that Washington
resigned his commission to Congress. that
the treaty of peace was ratified and that
other interesting events took place. The
legislature of the state of 1IS4 in recogni-
tion of the services of Lafayette passed an
act that the Marquis de la Fayette and his
heirs male forever, shall be and they and
each of them are hereby deemed adjudged
and taken to be natural born citizens Of this
state" &c.

were known at Annapolis, for Count Pulas-

wounds at Camden, S. c., in 1850. His ser
vices are commemorated by a fine monu-
ment in Annapolis erected under an act OF
Congress of 1888.
Baron Steuben the valued drill officer and
inspector general, too, was often in the an
cient capital and the last letter Washington
wrote before resigning his commission was
to him thanking him for his services The
baron became citizen of the country and
died near Utica, n. Y, some years after.

The Sceptre.
From Good Words

The sceptre was the emblem of power.
AS the silver wand, SO familiar in cathe-
drals, was once hollow, containing the
'virge'' rod with which chastisement
was inflicted upon the choristers and
younger members of the foundation, so
the royal sceptre represented the right to
infiict punishment Hence the expression
ito sway the sceptre' implied the holding
of regal dignity. The sceptre with the dove
possessed the additional signification of
the Holy Ghost, as controlling the actions
of the. sovereign. The same idea was con-
veyed at Rheims by the beautiful cere-
mony of letting loose a number of doves
at the coronation of the French kings.
