This Is the Practical Sentence for
Those Who Take BOer Medicines.
From the London Express.
A study of this Blue Book, issued
last night goes to show that every
thing humanity possible is being done
for the comfort OF those men, women,
and children whom the Boer methods
of waging war have thrown on our
protection. Some good people-they
are mostly pro- Beers, their protesta-
lions of humane motives notwithstand-
ing-have made a great noise about
the mortality in the camps. Many of
these deaths have been brought about
by Boer ignorance, as the following
extract from DR.. Kendall Franks re-
port on the camp at Bloemfontein goes
to show:
zone dav Mr.: J. Kruger, a nephew
of the ex-President, asked the superin-
tendent to use his influence with DR..
Beaumann to allow him to give his
wife a cow-dung bath, which, he stated,
was the best thing for rheumatism. ;
Mr.. Randle was surprised to
see a cat running about the tent with
all it's fur clipped off. He inquired the
cause, and was informed that the fur
had been cut off and roasted. and then
applied to Abram Strauss childs chest
as remedy for bronchitis. DR.. Perm,
the principal medical officer, told me
that he was once sent for to see
child who was i'll in one of the tents.
He then discovered that the parents
had killed goat and cut it open, re-
moving all the internal organs. They
had then put the child bodily inside
the boat, with its head alone protrud-
ing through the opening made by re-
moving the breastbone. Some of the
Roer remedies have a strong SAVIOR of
superstition. Thus. a favoFite remedy
for jaundice is to rub the patients body
with cabbage seeds. The seeds are
then sown. When they come up the
jaundice disappears.
THE tooth of a horse worn on a
string round the neck is believed to
cure rheumatism. piece of potato

Worlds Longest Telephone.
From the Montreal Herald.

From the Montreal Herald.
 Early in November the longest sub marine telephone line In the world will be opened between England and Belgium. The principal part of the cable has already been laid, terminating on the English side in St. Margerets Bay, near Dover, and on the Belgium side In the lit tie harbor of La Panne. It now only remains to make short connections. The length of the cable is sixty-three miles; it Is on the double circuit plan, and cost about $5. 100000. while it's complete install lation will take nearly twice as much. The entire enterprise was conceived and has been carried through by the General Postoffice of London. It's distinct ad- vantage over the other lines between the continent and England is that, through the Anglo-Belgian communication, tele- phone subscribers all over Belgium will be able to speak from their homes with subscribers in any part of England. The expense of maintaining the new line will be equally borne by the governments of England and Belgium.

The Growth of a Great Industry.

When. today, you sit around with group of chosen friends at the club, and give the waiter an order for a round of Denver Scotch "highballs" has 1t ever occurred to you to wonder how whisky which is now known all the world over, came to achieve such popularity? The story of Dewar's growth is certainly in- teresting.
 It is now about sixty years ago since the firm of John Dewar & Sons, Limited, was founded in the town of Perth, Scot land Perth is particularly well situated for the successful carrying out Of the whisky trade. It lies at the entrance to, and commands the whole of the High lands, and Is in intimate connection with the districts which produce the finest whiskies
 Like all great concerns the original of Dewar & Sons was unpretentious, but slowly and surely a trade was built up as the purity and wholesomeness of their product became bet ter known.
 In 1879 John Alexander Dewar was made a partner assumed entire control on the death of his father, and was afterward joined by his youngest brother, MT. Thomas R. Dewar, who established a branch in London From this time the rapid growth of the business Is shown by the fact that in 1897 when the company was reconstructed, the public subscrip- tions were for in excess of the amount of stock to be fioated.
 The original distillery in Perthshire has long been outgrown and to meet the ever increasing demand, Dewar's Sons have erected another large distillery on the Breadaibane estate Perthshire, which Is capable of turning out over a quarter of a million gallons per year. To be in closer touch with the trade they have in addition to their London house, opened officers and stores in Manchester, Bris- tol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dublin, New York, San Francisco. Bombay and Syd- ney.
 During the last fifteen years Dewar's Sons have been awarded fifty-three gold and prize medals and diplomas at inter national and other exhibitions; also the grand prix, Paris exposition. 1900. over all competitors. Messrs. Dewar have re- gently had tho highest honor conferred upon them of receiving royal warrant appointing them purveyors of Scotch whisky to his majesty King Edward VII, continuing the honor they had of holding a similar appointment to her late majesty Queen Victoria.
 Dewar's Scotch whisky is well and widely known in the United States, where 0 sDewar Scotch highball" holds the place of honor on the list of popular all- the-year-rouna drinks,
