Nearly every newspaper correspondent has had to refer to Bovril to make, his story’ com- plete. Rudyard Kipling and Boden- Powell have written their Bovril storiés.'. Over 500 British hospitals and similar public institutions use and prescribe Bovril, " Old fashioned beef teas and meat extracts, Bovril. whether known as. such, or disguised under more pretentious modern names contain none of the NUTRITIVE properties of beef, Baron Liebig himself admitted this facts there is.not a doctor to-d: 1y disputes i it. Used asa nowrish- ment Ment Extract is probably. the most expensive article one can buy, Bovril one of ithe cheapest. The reason is not far to seek, ‘Bovril isa nourisheras wellas a stiniulant. It contains the albumen and fibrine, the sustaining proper- ties of the beer. It is this fict, together with its absolute purity, that commends Bovril to physicians and scientists, and proves in practice what it demonstrates in analysis. UNITED.

The board ‘does not .| permit any crosses to be erected, or any names ‘of owners to be inscribed ‘on the tombstones, The cemetery’ is divided : into separate en-' ‘closures for dogs, cats, birds, and, miscellaneous animals, a has “ ‘| A CHARMING STORY ABOUT:RATS :~ Nature Notes mentions: curious incident which was witnessed at Belper, a small town not far from Derby, Late one afternoon three rats were seen ‘crossing a yard from the direc tion of the fowl-house, One rat had.a hen’s egg between its fore legs and its mouth, and, was being carried by the other two, one at each end; that is, they were carrying in their mouths the other zat with its back downwards: “A day or two afterwards the correspondent heard a. squealing noise in the fowl-house, more like that of a child than a rat, so he opend the door, and there was a rat on his back, with.the egg as before mentioned, and two others endeavor- ing to raise him up and take him away. ‘TAN UNPLEASANT PREDICAMENT :— One of the largest boarding establishments in Shanghai was thrown into a state of consterna- tion on Friday evening on account of China New Year, says the Shanghaz Times ; the entire. gang of servants disappeared, : after -having: pocketed, their January wages and New Year “cumshaws ” into the bargain. They are to be apprehended and hated before the Mixed Court majority of 1,725 votes over Mz Rowe, ‘Liberal “"1 candidate, who polled aut 8 against 3,843 polled by Mr. Milvain.’ A TEMPERANCE: LESSON: 1," said the temperance man a strongly’ object-'to” the |. custom of christening. ships with. champagne.” “{dont™ replied the gther man: ‘1 think there's a temperance lesson in it.” "How, can that be?” “Well, iminedintely after the” ‘| first, bottle of wine the ship takes to water and, sticks to it ever after." : JULES VERNE has been} prophesying for the: New York World the scientific achievements ‘of the twentieth century. Among other things, he mentions, the dynamite airship i is to replace the ocean liner, cigar-shaped trains will run 200 miles an hour, the Atlantic - will” be tunnelled, the auto-house will become as ‘familiar, as the ‘| houseboat, while submarine yachts will carry shark-fighting ‘sportsmen, .TWO. FRENCH “AERONAUTS,, Captain ‘Debureaux: and: M. Castillon de 'Saint- Victor, have formed a plan for crossing the Great Desert in -a ‘balloon, Their belief.in the practical possibility of the achievement is based on the theory that at a particular time of year the wind blows steadily from the north-'): east to south-west, so that it would carry a balloon from Southern Tunisia to Senegal or the Niger with unfailing Certainty."

Something wrong was suspected: at Grove Ferry, and a telegram was sent to Sandwich, where a search resulted in the arrest of the soldiers. ARMOR - PLATE. TESTS :—The naval'au- thorities at Portsmouth are engaged i in @ Series at important armor-plate teats. ; time upon’ record the two- inch armor used i in protective decks, gun ‘positions, and which is to form the splinter screens behind the guns in the ‘central battery of our new 16,300 ton battle: : ships, is being tested in proof cells.

Frederic Villiers, the well: known war artist and. corre: spondent, a contemporary, states, once saw the following sign in a Prominent hotel"'in an water is required for tea.” This calls to mind the late Mr. E. J. Lonnen’s story of a similar experierice in Johannesburg at'the time of the: Raid; There was a water famine at. that pet, iod—water js always more or less ‘scarce ‘in Johannesburg—and while he ‘was taking an afternoon bath in his hotel there was'a knock, at the door and'a voice said, ‘Don't let the water run off when you've finished.

Moreover he explains for the first time the original reason ‘for the establishment of Con-_ centration Camps, and ‘that reason was not chiefly the exigencies of our military opera- . tions, but the conduct,.of Botha’ and his burghers towards the: helpless of their own race. The Boer Commandant refused to check—even if he did not actually authorize— the destruction of the farms and property af all surrendered:burghers, which involved incident- ally the turning out to starve on the veldt of the families of these men.

The most important point, however, is the publication of the fact that the concentration camps, so far, as their exis- tence is to be deprecated, is more largely due to * Botha’s treatment of his own ‘people than to our policy of wasting the land,’ The surprising |' matter is that this reply to the slanders: of Pro- - Boers, British and .Foreign, was not made | known long ngo. No Englishmen desires to see Great Britain apologizing to Europe. for ' what she sees fit to do in the conduct of her own affairs, but the withholding of facts. which completely justify any. ual, actions is re- grettable, if only the satisfaction of: our: own doubters at home be considered, ..

Which occurred during the public examination in the Bankruptcy Court of’ Mr, Whitaker Wright of the - ” LONDON AND GLOBE FINANCE CORPORATION, Closely_questioned_as_to_his_relations with. ‘the financial Press, Mr. Wright ‘made a game’ effort'to shield the papers and the, gumalists he had from time!to ‘time boug! for his payments to ‘certain city editors on account ‘of items they published in the interests . of his Company'amounted to something very closely resembling bribery. After, . much elaborate fencing, Mr, Wright was finally: com: pelled té divulge the names: of which he was certain, though as the deals ‘were’ operated. through brokers, he ‘asserted that all their clients were not known to him. This statement was probably in the nature of a Inst effort to Protect to the utmost the newspaper men con cerned, by suggesting that all. financial’ sheets were much of.amuchness. At the same time Mr. Wright declined to accept the view that shares sold to and bought’ from journalists to whom “calls” at selling price had been. given, was in. effect corrupt, « although these individuals pocketed the difference with- out incurring’ any. risk. At any rate these “eity ” writers are by this arrangement able to say they never accepted a bribe’ from’ the Com- Rany and Mr, Wright held by that position, The Finanetal Times, Financtal News, and Citizen were specifically mentioned, of which last the proprietor is one of the editors of Truth. Mr. Wright admitted having sold shares and repurchased them next day for the benefit.of Pressmen, The examination has left behind a somewhat uncomfortable momory. THE KRAUSE TRIAL , is now in full swing, and some ‘extraordinary evidence has been given, upon which of course comment is forthe present suspénded. Allusion may however be made to the nexpected con- tention yesterday put forward by the defence in reply. to the charge of “soliciting, encourag- ing and persuading another to murder.” The Crown.‘in supporting this charge produced the prisoner's correspondence with Brokesma and another—both dead when tho letters were seized. Mr. Isaacs argued that the addressees being dead,’ the accusation "must fall to, the ground inasmuch as “soliciting persuading, and’ en- iGoyraging ” implied a mitid to be acted upon— SWebich mind in the circumstances did not exist. The Lord Chief Justice kept back the point for consideration, but: subsequently accepted the contention, ‘and the only count permitted to go to the jury was did Krause endeavour to try and. persuade, solicit ete?; Convicted on th point he was condemned to two years imprisonment, LORD CHARLES’ BERESFORD'S CANDIDATURE for the' Hampstead vacancy has been withdrawn by the Navy League. acting. on his behalf, on ‘4 the understanding that the Central organization will obtain-for him. the: seat text vacant, by which time-he!will be! free to-conduct his’ own ' political campaign. ,.

VEXED QUESTION. .: A Poking telegram, of rath. instagt to the’ Shanghai Times saysi— ar There is‘an exciting ‘discussion in progress: regarding the fate of Tientsin. The Diplomatic. Bady is being urged by the Chinese govern- ment to consent .to the immediate evacuation of Ticntsin’ by the toreiwn troops, and: the abolition of the’ foreign Provisional Govern: -ment of the native city of Tientsin, ae be The Chinese. hive’ for’ some time:-beer pressing this’ denfand, on the ground thab the requirements: of ‘the protocol have“all been fulfllgd: by China and there ts4fow no further excuse for holding Tientsin, beyond the’ Con- cessions. . The decision is to be made now and meetings are being held daily, 2 j.. 7: The military'authorities are most strongly in favour of continuing the present regime,’ for the advantage alike of Chinese and foreigners. They ate making a ‘strong stand... They es- pecially resist the proposed reduction, of gar-. tison, SP a a ‘ STATUS ‘QUO CONTINUES. - TIENTSIN, February 14th. ' The opposition to the reduction of the Tien- tsin garrison comes from ‘the German ¢om- mander, Major-General von Rohrscheidt, The. commanders of other nationalities are now willing to accede to the. pressing’ requests of the Chinese authorities, to withdraw a consi- derable part of the troops from ‘Tientsin, and leave only a nominal force, but the German ‘general declines to do sa,on’ any consideration, This being so, there is no prospect at present | of the foreign. provisional. government of the "native city prefecture being abolished. The eritish railway administration will also remain as it is at present, which is consided here to be a matter for congratulation, ‘as the Royal |. Engineers have done the ‘work in a most 6x: cellent manner, giving ‘general satisfaction, to all concerned. genes te ; THE COGILL AND SUTTON . ENTERTAINERS, .
