THE BoER OF TO-DAY.

4A
 The Boers talk less of war to-day than they have ever talked in the course of their national life. At the time of their surrender they realized that they were in a bad way. They did not think they were badly beaten, and if their at titude towards us was one of frank sur render, there was, if not expressed, at least implied, a suggestion of magma minity towards an overpowering enemy that they had the power and half the inclination to further harass They surrendered because they were tired of the ninety-nine out of every hun dred burghers would tell you that. It was the spontaneous excuse of the in coming command simply given without qualification and without amendment. We are tired of the war --so we surrender" It was a reply giv- en in no tone of boastfulness; with no suggestion of anything but a natural and logical reply to the question, Why did you give in?"
 E 1t was the hundredth man., the man who spoke good French or German, and whose first act on arrival at the British camp was to ask for a bath. He it was who shrugged his shoulders and an swered with a laugh: Because we were hopelessly beaten!'' The terms of peace were signed, and the Boer was turned loose on the country and he talked not loudly or traitorously or harmfully. He had surrendered, or rather his leaders had for him; for his part he would just as soon have gone on fighting; something might have hap pened. Who knows? A European war in which Great Britain was embroiled might have been the Boer's opportunity. He was now faithful subject of King Edward, and he would be sorry to see Russia or Germany fighting his own country; but if he had not surrendered E-? Azfe. g3 RSf stg4 g}at ss sss t s Ggz3s
 All of which pointed to one fact, and 8 very interesting fact it was. The Boer, sharing characteristic which is beau tiful in the Briton, but is trifie alarm ing when displayed in the Boer, did not know when he was beaten. And the Boer out of the eountry-he of St Hele- ma, of India, of Ceylon--he came back. He was very anxious to explain to the Boer nsthe country exactly how it was he had been taken prisoner in the early days, and quite willing to adopt the the ory, already sub-consciously propound- ed, that the war had ended because the fighting burghers were tired of the con- stant trekkings and the unsettled life of the commando. 4S.
 The British were as tireG--everybody knew that, So there had been formal surrender of the Boers, mutual agree nent that hostilities should cease and amicable arrangements whereby the dignity of neither should suffer. It was quite reasonable this view.
 You remember how we fell over one another in our desire to weep on the necks of our late foes, how the splendid

fellowship of the British was made manifest. Our dearest friend is not dearer than the foe we have just thrashed That is national trait, but the Boer is no student, no thinker Ac- cording to his lights there could be but one explanation for our effusiyeness. We were glad to get out of the mess at any price, for like him, we were tired of war, weary of our constant reverses and the too frequent humiliations, for which our periodic victories were a most inad- equate compensation. After awhile he began to find things but, did the Boer, Every day that passed robbed him of his con1placency.
 The days of war were not very far behind him when he began to realize a great truth, and it has so sobered him that he does not seem like the BOer we knew of other days, but rather a civil, quiet-spoken improvement on the old pattern-improved out of recognition. For the truth that has come so slowly is the fact that he is a badly beaten man. The men whom he expected to meet the brother, the father, the friend-what of them! He had believed that they were with other commanders, or, at the worst, in the hands of the hospitabie British. When war was over, he waited for them to appear, with all the pleas .ure of anticipation. The missing ones came not, but in their place came, or sent, the folks who had seen them die lor had helped to bury them. This was the first sobering draught that came to the Boer. The Boer losses were much heavier than he had been led, to believe
 In Great Britain there are. unfortu- nately, many homes devastated by war; there are vacancies which even time, that fell destroyer of ideals who turns the beautiful to commonplace, can new CT fill. But think of a nation no single member of which but has lost a rela- tive. ,s a8
 I think am right in saying that no one Boer family in South Africa came unscathed through the war. and not one-third of the losses were ever real ized until the war ended. The little vil- lage cliques were broken and scattered, the little makeshifts for society were devastated, the dorp oracles whose il- logical periods had filled the sunlit

An Interesting History of the Devel-
 opment of this Beautiful Flower.
 It was after nervous breakdown of five years, extending from 1879 to 1884, that the writer, with an innate love of gardening resolved to take up one flower for special gardening may be either work or play, the latter depending on the clements that enter into ones enthusiasm. The fascination is in pro- portion to the quality of the work done, and especially in being ambitious to master and thoroughly know one flower.

which precipitated a row aud Della

but the evidence adduced in rebuttal
OF what she said was so overwhelm-
