Orange Free State, crossed the undefended
borders of English territory, prepared to
strike quick and decisive blows if possible
before England could prepare for the con-
fict.
The Beers were by no means unprepared
for such a conflict. The heavy revenue de-
rived by the government for number of
years previously had been judiciously ex-
pended for defense, and they had stored
away at Pretoria guns that were far su-
perior to anything that England could use
against them for a considerable time after
the opening of hostilities. Their army was
composed almost wholly Of volunteers, but
they were volunteers who were well trained
in fighting methods of their own, methods
OF which England knew but little, and was
not prepared to meet.
The armed strength of England in South
Africa was at that time some $4,000 men of
all branches, of whom some 1900 comprised
the force Of Gen. Sir George White in
Natal, and the others were scattered in
small commands at different points in Cape
Colony, the garrisons extending as far
north as Mafeking which Col, afterward
Gen, Baden Powell was defending with q
force Of 1900 men.
Gen. Petrus Jacobus Joubert, the hero
Of Majuba Hill and vice president Of the
South African republic, was selected AS

White up in Ladysmith.

AMERICAN APPLES.
Steady nd for Them Can BE Gre.
ated in All Sections Of
Germany,

Vice Consul Liefeld, at Friebure, re-
ports to the state department that a
prominent fruit and produce dealer
in the grand duchy of Baden recent
ly told him that a large demand fer
American apples and apple products
could be created in Germany if a
little more care were taken by the
producers and exporters. He said
thatthed dried apples arrive in %faircon-
dition, but that the evaporated apples
do not; nor can they be kept in the
market for any length of time, for
they soon become moldy and decay.
The dealer suggests that the apples
should be more thoroughly evapor-
ated and then properly packed for
the export trade. He says there is c
great demand for American evapor.
ated apples, and if they can be re-
ceived in a better condition there are
prospects of a still further increase
of trade.
He also referred to the unsatis-
factory condition in which raw apples
r often received, and suggested
that the same care should be taken
in handling and packing apples as is
used with oranges. If they were
packed in paper or in layers of straw
it might be a guaranty of their arriv'
al in sound condition.
If these points are taken into con.
sideration this gentleman claims that
the market for American apples and
products thereof will be enormously
enlarged.

Area, Population end History
Of the South African Republic

I In 1877 the Beers of the Transvaal found
themselves in serious difficulties as an in
dependent nation. Their government was
in financial straits and in general confusion.
A powerful chief of the warlike kaffirs with
in their territory was harassing them,
while they were also menaced by an in
vasion of the Zulus. Their condition was
deemed by the British to involve peril to
all the South African colonies; and under
a show of British force, and partly for pro-
lection, they assented to the annexation of
their territory to the British empire. But
the English governor was either ill-chosen
or unfortunate in his methods, and in 1880
they rose in a courageous and well-directed
revolt, which was ended by a grant to
them, in the London convention of 1881, of
self-government Subject to the suzerainty
of her majesty" The revolt above referred
to soon ended in the crushing defeat at
Majuba Hill, where a force of a few nun
dred British troops was almost annihilated
by a large Boer force of expert marksmen,
firing mostly from behind rocks or other
cover. This made known the Transvaal
rifemen IL most dangerous foes. 1t was
near the beginning of the revolt; and when
the British requirements arrived the
Beers, as military authorities agree, could
have met only defeat, at which point the
British government, then led by Mr.. Glad.
stone as head of a liberal ministry, granted
a conference, whose final issue was, as above
noted, the self-government of the republic
under British suzerainty.
With this as one step out of the imme.
date difficulty, the Boer was quoted. But
he was not satisfied. Suzerainty was a term
not to his liking. Still less was he ready
to welcome a British suzerainty. Britain
was the one enemy that had been logging
his steps, and his fathers steps, and his
grandfather's steps; and now his last SUI.
preme effort to rid himself of the hateful
presence, which was also a hampering con.
troll, had come to naught. President Kru-
ger, in 1883, visited London with a petition
to Queen Victoria for a revision of the arti.
cles of the convention in 1881. He wa
g%raciously received; and the British govern.
ment in 1884 conceded to him a new word
ing of the clauses against which he, in the
name of his ~people-rather, in the name OF
the Boer portion of them-had entered his
protest. 1t was this new wording, with its
interpretations, that served as the nomina
ground for the last dispute which ended ir
war, and the war has now ended in Brit
ish victory, and the union jack again flies
from the ~hagstaifs of Pretoria and Bloom
%fontein.

Water supply in Trees.

Look at the wonderful manner in
which nature has contrived a supply
for thirst in hot countries. He has
placed amid the burning sands of
Africa a plant whose leaf, twisted
around like a cruet, is always filled
with a large glassful of cold water,
The gullet of this cruet is shut by the
end of the leaf itself so as to prevent
the water from evaporating. In the
same hot land God has planted n
great tree, called Boa by the natives
the trunk of which is of great size
and followed like a cistern. In the
rainy season it is filled with water
which continues fresh and cool in the
greatest heats, by means of the crest.

In some of the parched and rocky is
lands of the West Indies there is

let the row of bushes be arranged in
small clumps four feet apart in the
row and protected by such trellis as is
shown in the sketch. Inch and a half
stuff is used for lengthwise and up
right supports, while the clumps of
bushes are held in compact shape by
two pieces of lath at each clump. At a
distance of four feet the tops will
nearly meet each other, while the
stalks at the ground can be worked
about with ease.
I would cover the entire ground be-
tween the clumps and between the
rows, if there are two or more of
these, with coarse meadow hay put on
thickly. This keeps down the weeds
and many berry sprouts and keeps the
ground always porous, moist and cool,
conditions that are especially attrac-
tive to raspberry and blackberry
plants. Once a year this mulch will
have to be renewed, as it gradually de-
Gays and becomes worked into the soil,
adding humus and making the earth
lighter, more r%etentive of moisture
and richer in the material that the
berry plant requires as food.
Practically, then, the only care the
bushes need is an annual pruning and
.mulching. A little attention now and
then to the few struggling weeds and
shoots that force a way up through
the thick mulch will. of course, be re-
quired, but first and last there will be
less work in this way of caring for the
bushes than by any other that is or
7%inarily practiced. The gradual dying
out of once thrifty bushes that one
sees in so many farm gardens is due
almost wholly to lack of proper thin
ming out and pruning and to the chok-
ing of the bushes by grass and weeds.
