avenue Of lines.
To the English people the Maliebaan
has a special interest. for on its west.
ern side is the villa OF Oranje Lust,
wherein Mr.. Kruger now lives in an
absolute seclusion.
1t is not a pretentious dwelling.
THE Orange Pleasance"-to translate
the Dutch title-is square, creeper-
swathed building that lies back some
40 yards from the road. It is ill.kept.
according TO our ideas. The gravel
path is grass-grown, the copper foun.
tain in an untidy rockery before the
door Is twisted and broken. Behind
is quaint little garden, with gravel
walks ianked by shrubs and shaded
with acacia, lime and lilac. The blinds
Of the house are kept drawn: there is
no sight of life or movement.
MIR. Kruger makes but one eXcep-
ton to d seclusion that is almost mo-
nastic. On every second Sunday or so
he drives to tiny church and listens
to preacher VINO Is noted for the
sternest Calvinism. He refuses to at
tend the service in the grand old Lu.
theran Cathedral. for the doctrine Is
too liberal for his taste. On those
Sundays which he spends at home his
ravorite minister visits him for pri.
waite worship.

There are few facts which may IN
In the future be incorporated in the
biography of the mosquito, facts which
have been collected partly by the in
quiry of scientists, and partly by the
observations of laymen who live in
sections where the pestiferous insect
thrives in great numbers, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The mosquito is observed in three
different forms. as an egg, in larvae,
as q wiggletail, and as mosquito with
wings. Eggs are Matched by the
warmth OF the sun. One mosquito
may lay 100000 eggs. often many
Of these eggs are destroyed. Mosqui.

his lungs with the needed air and

bes TRAILING.
Any amateur can follow trail over
soft ground, but over hard ground the
thing becomes an art, the practice OF
which needs much training and great
concentration.
Color is a great factor In trail fol-
lowing. Stones, hard pieces of dried
mud, bits of bark, even dust, are OF
one color next to the ground, and quite
another color next to the sun. BY not.
ing this it can be determined whether
stone, mud, bark or dust has been
lately disturbed.
An abundance of large rocks makes
trailing very difficult. Unless the per.
son followed wears pegged shoes, the
nails of which scratch the surface OF
the rock. amateurs will not be able to
unravel trail which leads over the
face of ~ boulder, but they can circle
and pick up the trail where 1t leaves
the rock.
When a trail leads through districts
which are oyergrown, crushsi flowers,
grasses and broken twigs are, of
course, the signs for which to watch.
This is the A B C of trail following
footprints on soft ground, discoloration
on hard ground and broken plants on
covered ground. Any boy who keeps
this in mind is sure, with little prac-
tice, to become efficient, and is I'm.
likely to be led astray by old marks.
II. for example. in following a trail
over hard ground, one comes upon
heel mark half an inch deep, 1t is evi.
dent that the impression was made
shortly after the last rain, and cannot
be the mark of a recent trail.
