There is rejoicing everywhere
throughout the civilized world
that the long fierce struggle in
South Africa, which has cost sc
many brave lives on both sides
and so much suffering and priva'
tons, is at least ended. But there
cannot be but a feeling of sadness,
that after these long months OF
desperate striving after independ-
ence, that the sturdy Boer leaders
have at last given up the struggle.
When we think of the emotions
that must have filled the hearts of
these strong men as they took the
pen, one after another, in profound
silence and affixed their names to
the peace agreement, which meant
the giving up of so much that
they had fought and bled for, and
for which so many of their CON-
rades had sacrificed their lives for,
the event seems tragically pathe-
tic. Still, whatever the wording
of the peace terms. it is sure to
bring the Beers into larger life
than that which they led before
the war. They have come out of
their clanish seclusiOn and must
inevitably be broadened and ell
lightened through their touch
with other people. England has
promised them independence
when they are ready for aud capa
BILE of selfgOvernment and with
this pledge they must content
themselves for the present.
There is n strong possibility
that the terms of peace may send
some colonies to America. The
colonial Beers are to be punished
if the publication OF the terms are
correct. w. d. Snyman, of Cape
Colony, who fought with the Beers
and who has been speaking in the
United States for the Boer cause
says that if the United States
government would open the way
for some of these colonial Beers to
settle in some of the newer states
like New Mexico, Texas or Colo
RADIO and thus escape the punish
ment with which they are threat
tned, he believes the move would
be mutually beneficial. Mr.. Sny.
man says: ''They are men we'll
born. They would make good
citizens of which the United
States need not feel ashamed. l
shall do all in my power to bring
them to this land OF opportunity

We are pleased to note that in
the above appointments st.
Mary parish will remain as the
23rd Judicial District. We never
could see any good reason for al
loting any other parish to St.
Mary for the records show that the
23rd Judicial District ranks third
when it comes to cases being tried
and disposed of. The above bill
should pass the House without a
dissenting vote, and we believe it
will.

Teaching a Love of Agriculture.

A village school in Illinois is max.
ing very decided success of teach
ing agriculture in the public schools.
The pupils in these schools were
awarded trees as premiums for es.
says on agricultural subjects. The
essays were prepared and the
awards made before Arbor Day, so
that each boy and girl might cele-
brate that day by planting a tree of
bis own. This year $50 boys and
girls prepared essays and most of
them received fruit trees as a reward.
A wide range of subjects were
treated by these youthful agricultur-
lists. They studied deeply into the
the uses, habits, growth and proper
culture of all sorts OF fruits, vegeta-
bles, flowers and trees and then pre-
pared their essays in the school
room in 'the presence of the teacher
without any help whatever. In many
cases not only the writer's own OBJ
servations and experiences with the
plant in question were given but the
process of cultivation, the use and
value and entire hi,tory of
the plant from its origin we're related
in manner showing much researches
and perseverance.
This practical way of teaching
agriculture and botany all in one
can be readily introduced in any
school when the teacher has suffi-
cient interest to work the matter no.
1t makes delightful and refreshing
change to the scholars ordinary
course of study and awakens an in.
terest in nature and her products.
The good results are not limited to
the scholars, but the questions they
ask of parents and friends while
seeking the desired information often
awakes their interest in the subjects
under discussion, and in this way
valuable knowledge is acquired by
the elders as we'll as the juveniles
and love OF nature promoted in
both. This paper would like to see
something of this sort tried in the
schools of this locality and see if the |
results are as good as other places
claim.

After the battle of New Orleans
the American soldiers were very
kind in their treatment of the
Britishers who had been taken
prisoners. With characteristic
curiosity one American was ques-

the British force and the details
of the battle on that side.
"Who commanded you in all
the fight?" The Kentuckian is
reported to have asked.
''Well, you see," replied the
Britisher, "we 'ad General Par
