The f1oggings were administered with barbarous severity, the backs of the na- tives, according to official witnesses, be- ing ''cut into ribbons. The measures of repression were adopted against so-called native rebellion" the serious ness of which may be judged from the fact that the colonial losses amounted to nine men, whereas 5000 natives were killed.
 few months ago the excited colonists of Natal invented a second native re bellion," the head of which was supposed to be Dinizulu the Zulu chief. A strong force was marched into Dinizulu's coun- try and everything possible done to create a genuine rebellion, but the Zulus refused to fight.
 Dnizulu surrendered himself and is now on trial for high treason and murder. The Natal government refuses him fair trial, and has done everything possible to prevent him preparing his defense. large part of the radical party is high ly indignant over these lawless proceed ings, and will take strong measures to force the imperial government to inter- vene and protect the Zulus against fur ther ill treatment.

King Edwards physicians have come to the conclusion that the irritation in the throat from which his majesty suffers can only be kept in check by plenty of sea air, hence the Kings de- cision to spend a few weeks every now and then on the Isle of Wight at Barton Manor near Cowes, one of the crown properties which has been lit tie used by any member of the royal family.
 The house will be put in order in time for the Cowes regatta, and the King and Queen will entertain the1 e instead of on the yacht Victoria ard Albert" The house is not very large nor Is it at all pretentious. The de- signs for the decorations of the Kings modest apartments have been carried out by the Kings favorite sister, the artistic Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll.
 Two tennis courts have been laid out for the benefit of the Kings grand children, and a croquet lawn for his own use. The Queens rooms will be furnished in a very simple manner.
 The people of Brighton were hoping very much that the King would pur- chase permanent residence there, but the Isle of Wight decision has com pletely dissipated their hopes. The King, however, intends to pay frequent weekend visits to Brighton.
 The English temperance war, which is being so severely waged between ex- else reformers and saloonkeepers, has a comic opera side issue.
 While the temperance parliamentary party is fighting tooth and nail to re- duce the consumption of liquor outside the house of commons, the consumption of alcohol inside the house increases year by year.
 One outspoken member has gone so far as to refer to this in public and he has covertly hinted at many well known politicians who, thanks to the special facilities at the house of com mons are in danger of becoming con firmed drunkdrds.
 One of the publican's party, F. E. Smith. a youthful barrister, who prom ses to become a power in the political world, has just drafted bill prohibit ing the sale of alcoh ol in the precincts of the house and, curiouslY enough, the only opposition to it comes from the temperance party.
 They affirm that as leaders of tenn perate thought, their teaching would lose most of its efficacy if their ab stinence was compulsory instead of being the result of will power. The 3 is no credit in resisting a temptation that does not exist, they say
 F. E. Smith declares that of the thousands of gallons of whisky whcn are annually consumed in parliament, the greater part goes down "temper- ate" threats, and that there is more hypocrisy to the square inch in the Enelish house of commons than in any other legislative assembly in the world.

E-COMING SONG.

o Grant County Wisconsin, my heart yearns
for you,
The home of my boyhood, my memory holds
The joys you impaired, the hopes you in
ired
AS in youth beheld you, beheld and ad-
mired.
To the land of my boyhood turn with de-
All your beauty and grandeur now burst on
my sight,
AS your woodland and stream, your prairie
and glade
On memory's broad tablet before me is laid.
1t was here, that sweet hope with her azure
tipped wings
Brought my spirit in touch with ethereal
things,
Set her bow bright with promise across your
blue sky,
Babe my fancy draw pictures that never
shall die.
To-day my old heart seeks again its first
love,
That in youth was inspired by your charms,
like dove
You gently wooed me. by your touch you
inspired
My heart and my fancy with loves holy fire,
AS the queen of the north on your hills you
sit crowned;
Your prairies like Edens, are spread out
around.
sare the great dome of heaven above you so
Can encircle no spot that is dearer than
you.

OLAF observation y. 'cc1e BODY was
deemed absolutely essential to the cor
poreal resurrection of the dead. Ac-
cording to the teaching of the Egyptian
priests, the living man consisted of
body, soul, an intelligence and an APP
pearance called "Ka." Death separat-
ed these four parts, which must ulti
mately be reunited for all eternity.
Between death on earth ana life ever
lasting there interviewed period Of
several thousand years, during which
season the soul performed painful
probationary pilgrimage through the
underworld. The body in order that it
should await intact the return Of the
soul must meanwhile be guarded from
all corruption; hence the custom Of
embalming.

Mrs. M. V. Burris, living in the

81 am giving Doan's Kidney Pills my
endorsement in the hopes that some
of the many suffering from kidney
complaint may read it and be bene-
flied by it. My husband suffered for
many months from severe pains in his
back He is forced to travel great
deal and the constant Earring and
jolting of the cars seems to aggravate
the trouble. His kidneys showed q
weakness and seeing Doan's Kidney
Pills recommended for such troubles,
he procured a box at j. d. Hatch's
Drug Store. They relieved him and
in short time the trouble had entire

A Warning That May Prove of Value
to Relic Hunters.

A Warning That May Prove OF Value
to Relic Hunters.
It may be trusted that no lineal de-
scendent Of the pilgrims would and
no other person foolishly should ever
claim to have or to have seen teapot
that had come over on the Mayhower.
Whatever other articles in whatever
number may be treasured as parts OF
the sacred cargo that was landed at
Plymouth rock in 1920, relic hunters
may rest in the assurance that no rival
owns a teapot Of Mayfower descent
The explanation is simple. When the
Mayflower sailed for America an ounce
of tea was rare enough to have made
up a fitting gift for royalty. Yet forty
years later the wealthy and fashion
able people of England were fairly ia
miliar with tea which the East India
company had first brought into the
country, and four years later 1t was
on sale in the coffee houses, at which
time a pound might be purchased for
the moderate sum of 60 shillings.
Only twenty-five years later tea was
on sale in Boston, and soon after there
were two tea houses besides those kept
by Daniel Vernon and Benjamin Har-
ris. In the first decade of the eight
eenth century it could be bought from
Zabdill Bolton at his apothecary shop.
Today the coffee houses of hundred
years ago in London are in reality tea
houses. In England were made the
first teapots Of pottery. Later the
most delicate creations in porcelain APP
peared, but as tea became popular the
art of the teapot maker was less ex-
clusively refined.-Boston Globe.
