1t must not be thought that the Beers

battling for principle, and who in that time
lost families, wealth and even country, have
been reconciled in a day. 1t has taken
careful and judicious work. But the liberal
victory that put into the seats Of power the
old English friends of the Beers was a for

Meat Eaters.
From the New York World.

From the New ork World
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, after ex-
haustive experiments upon forty-nine stu~
dents, professors and physicians, finds that
the non-mea t-eaters outclass the meat
eaters in such tests of physical endurance
as holding the arms out horizontally against
time, deep knee-bending and goose-stcp
drill. One vegetarian held his arms out
more than three hours, while a meat-eating
track athlete cried quits in nine minutes.
Now, men do not make living by hold
ing their arms out horizontally, yet it may
be admitted that most people can get along
very we'll as individuals without meat.
Prosperous Americans who lead sedentaiy
life eat far too much OF it, But that does
not prove the case in its wider aspects.
History is half made up of the conquests
of vegetarian or semi-vegetarian nations by
meat-eating ones The meat-eating 1roquois
Indians of central New York held the fish
eating Seawanhakas of Long Island in sub
lection. The buffalo chasing Sioux were
more doughty warriors than the Chinooks.
The Goths that overran Spain, the Moham-
medans that conquered the vegetarian
Buddhists of India, the Normans that made
their name feared from England all the
way to Greece, were valiant trenchermen.
In later days the Englishmen-"fivem meal,
meat-fed men," Kipling calls them-have
ruled an area sixty times as great as their
own chill island home.

A Rockery for a Wild Flower Garden.

In the garden where flowers and foliage
plants gathered from the woods and fields
are grown, natural conditions should be
initiated nearly possible. Most of
the earliest wild flowers prefer some
shade There Is no better way OF provid-
ing this than by planting them In a rock
cry. 1t can be built Of few loads OF
weather-stained stones, arranged in a
mound, leaving recesses Of varying sizes
for pockets in which to put soil and plants.
AS in a bed, the soil for the plants should
be thoroughly enriched with well rotted
manure or some commercial fertilizer The
flowers should be carefully watered until
they are well established. The rockery
may be made beautiful with a score OF
plant and ferns that grow In the woods
throughout the country even near the
largest cities, only awaiting some one
who cares enough to dig them up.
The columbInes. liverworts, saxifragas,
lady slippers. anemones or wind flowers,
gentians, May apples, violets and many
hardy ferns, including the beautiful
maidenhair, are widely distributed. Spring
flowers which do we'll in the sun are the
bluebells, buttercups and spring beauties.
Before the spring flowers have ceased to
bloom the summer wild flowers are begin
ming The wild rose blooms in May and
June, and is followed by the ox-eye daisy
and butterfly milkweed. Then comes
host Of snowy field flowers, which continue
to bloom until severe frost OF late October
and November. They include the golden
rod Of which, there are several species, all
yellow. ranging from two to five feet high:
asters. ranging from little flowers half an
inch across to the New England aster, four
to six feet tall with flowers an inch across;
evening primrose, dragon head lily, cardi-
nal flowers, false indigo and dozens OF
others.

the two shall sit Jointly, and then the vote
of the majority shall prevail. the vote of
man appointed by the crown counting no
more than that of a representative who
owes his choice to popular Will.
The New Parties.
Under the new constitution new parties
quickly started up. One is known the
net volk,'' a Boer way of saying the
people" the other known as the progress
s:ve." is composed of the old element who
think the owners of the great mines should
control the destinies of the country.
When the vote of the first election
counted it was found that the 'het volll''
party had elected thirty-seven members and
Tire 'progressives' twenty-one. The other
votes were scattered among a number of
smaller political parties most of whom
stood closer to the Beers than the mine
owners, and hence preferred to act with the
former.
Botha was sent for to organize ministry
and chose Gen. SHUTS as his right hand
| man. In his choice he was entirely unham-
pered and none of his selections were We
tOed by the crown. Yet so delighted were
the Beers that Gen. Delarey, Gen. Beyers
and Mr. Schalk-Burger. Boer leaders, pro-
nounced it the Cd headquarters staff of the
republic installed into office as ministers of
the king.
The fifteen men picked for the upper house
by Lord Selbourne have not been entirely
satisfactory to the Beers, since for the most
part Cney are uDlteO 10 tne party IHdt the
Beers defeated at the general election. but 1t
is significant of the amicable relations es
ia blished by the new constitution that no
serious protest was made against The list.
Bothas Reception.
That England rejoices in the hearty
operation the Beers have given to the peace
cause is shown by the reception just accord
ed Premier Botha on the occasion of his
recent visit as one of the delegates to the
colonial council, in which England enter
tanned the big men of her various dependen-
cies
Botha was by all odds the lion of the
casion. He was wined and dined by Eng
lands elite, and wherever he went among
the people was the object of riotous demon
! STATIONS of popular regard. He expressed
himself as astonished at the welcome he re-
ceived and was particularly touched by
the courtesies extended to him by his con-
queror and former foe, Lord Roberts.
The peaceful solution of the Boer problem
is as hopeful symptom of international
good will as a peace conference. 1t shows
that nations are beginning to understand
that generosity heals wounds quicker than
the iron hand.
