SEIZED CAPE COLONY TWICE Peace of Amlena Nullified Britain's Capture of Holland'e South Afrl can Territory In 1795. Early In the ware of the French Revolution Holland waa forced to be come an ally of Great Britain. A Brit ish fleet appeared off Cape Town In August 171)5, and tbe colony aurren dered on September 16. For aeven year Rritaln held the country, spend lag fully eight million dollara In Im proving It Monopollea were taken off trade, torture wua abolished, and pros perity prevailed, whereas before the colony had been on the verge of ruin.

By thla treaty Cape Colony waa restored to Holland. War waa reaurned In 1800, with Holland an ally once more of France. Again the Iirltlab captured Cape Colony, and when peace waa defi nitely settled In 1815, after Waterloo, Britain retained South Africa, paying Holland six million pounds sterling. the colonies of Dcmeraru, EMsequlbo and Berblce being Included In the sale. The populutlon consisted of 20.700 whites, holding 20,800 slaves, and 17,- 650 free Hottentot. Britain aup- preased the slave trade and In 1834 the alavea were emancipated by the Brit- Inn government Snaring Snakes.

Rocky Land Brseda 8allor. The best Bailors In tbe world come from Brittany, and tbe best auilors in Brlttnny hnll from Ouessunt Island, the land farthest west in France. This In land, which la mimed Ushant on the American charts, la rocky, forbidding, almoHt hurrea of trees, ho much so that tlie Breton fathers tell their children not to climb any trees when they go visiting.

HIVES. CUtRUCB SOUGHT ONLY BY FISHERMEN Rock Point, Md, Differ In Many Ways From the Conventionalized "Summer Resort." - Little white wooden bouse In broken row, like an old man's teeth; behind tbetn a fat green Maryland farm country of broad-leaved tobacco fields and yellow wheat and deeply ahadowed woods; before them a river seven miles wide of almost tropical green and blue, with a wooded Island In the foreground shading the water with great aycumore and crowned by a pine grove, where nest the ospreys that hover all day long over the water, plunging like living Javelins, now and then, to snatch fish of dazzling silver from a river of polished Jade. Huch, ImpresslonlHtlcally, la Hock Point Md., where all summer Jong many Washlngtonlana go to catch flan. The place la not at all fashionable; there Is no botel worthy of the name, and the prices of everything are alto gether too low to attract the "best peo ple. Even the fact that at least one cabi net officer, a senator or two and seV' erul congressmen go regularly to Hock Point does not seem to add to lta dig nity or to endow It with the rank of a real summer resort Somehow even a senator loses bis value aa a social or nament when he put on a pair of overalls and yells and get excited over a four-pound sea trout Tbe great majority of those who go to Hock Point are simply anglers- whatever else they muy be at home, here they are but membera of the great fraternity of fishermen. Bankers and plumber often "chip In" on tbe same motorhoat and borrow tobacco from each other. Women are fewer than men. but never lacking, and they are always benrty, sunburned women of the kind that get their hair wet when they go In swimming and don't pretend to be afraid of a fish. FAILED TO PLEASE NAPOLEON Narrow-Minded Officials Who Ob scured Royal Emblem Had Mis Judged Mind of Great Emperor. A pretty story Is told by some his torians of Napoleon's entrance into a French cathedral city In the days when his eagles were taking their most glori ous flights and Europe wus at hla feet It happened that the cathedral win dows were, some of them, decorated with the design of the fleur-de-lis. Eager partisans had covered up these windows so that tbe Ullea would not be seen. Tbe emperor, sharp of eye aa ever, Iruinlred tbe reason for the obscura tion of the windows. - "They bear the fleur-de-lis design and there Is no time to change It" ex plained some one. "So we covered it up, fearing it might offend your maj esty." "The lilies of France," said Napo leon, "have led her sons to victory through many wars. Surely every son of France should be proud of them." It Is needless to add that the win dows were immediately uncovered. Human "Fish" No Match for Angler. Fishing a man waa the novel feat performed by a man at Avalon, Cali fornia, a few days ago. Captain Adar go, a powerful swimmer, played the part of the fish, while Captain West brook took the part of the angler. The "fish" was given one hundred and fifty feet of line at the start and quickly gained thirty feet Then the angler felt that he was ready to begin tactics to .""subdue" the "fish," and telling about it afterward, Captnln Adargo said: Then I was pulled backward and couldn't make any headway against the outfit I have gone into some heavy swells a a professional swimmer and coin diver, but the fish ing stuff has got them all beat for tak ing tbe energy out of a man. Every time Westbrook came back on the rod It almost lifted me out of the water." In fifteen minutes Captain Westbrook regained the one hundred and eighty feet of line. He "fished" with his usu al tackle. A broken line would have won the contest for. the fish. Eider Ducks. . , Elder ' ducks are numerous every where In Norway. Being the produc ers of the valuable eiderdown, n "tuple nrticle of trade In Norway, they are rigorously protected by law, and are In consequence so tame ns In ninny plnces to approximate a domes tic fowl. The birds are regarded with far from friendly eyes by the flsher menr by reason of the dnmnge they work among the spawning beds of the flsh. Lobsters In particular suffer se verely from their devastations. "he California' and Orej6t Coast Railroad Companr . TIME CARD Dally except Sunday Effective May 1, 1918 Trains lv.
