The English have governed in South Africa -lor..- too yevs, driving into the desert the Dutch who wish to be inde pendent, says .the Youths Companion. But ihe strange Boer race which is not 'exactly Dutch but a strong mixt ure of several races, including almost as strong a. mixture of French Hugue not blood as of the blood of .Holland, and including also a dash of German, English, and Scottish always comes uppermost in the affairs' of the colo nies.'. , . - -.. - t V At this day, the Alncanders, or Dqtch-spcaking colonials, bear sway by virtue, of their majority : in Cape Colony itself. An Austrian traveler, Iferr von Jlubncr, tells why this is so. The Boers love South Africa, and have no desire to live anywhere else. They have taken deep root in the soil. They have completely adapted them selves to the climate and conditions of life. They live to a great age, and great families of children are born to thm. Ilcrr von Hubner visited afamily of .Trench Huguenot origin, Huro, by name, which was in, mourning for the he?.d of the family. The family had mostly asembled on- account of the , - " ' crowd. How many descendants did Herr Hucro leave?" the visitor asked. . ' 1 1 . 1 t - : n . i jic iwu 111 an, was inc answer, "bur there are only 211 living now. "How did he happen to dicri inai is wnai no one can ten, tney answered, shaking their heads. He nev er had a sick, day in his life, he never took to bis, bed, and he seemed to drop off a'l at once. It is a profound mys tery." - ."But how old was he?" " i ' "Only oj. ' No such English-speaking patriarchs as this are found. The English aban don the country as soon as they can; if they must remain to complete the making of a fortune, or to earn a live lihood, they send their children "home to England to be educated. The Boers of French origin are proud of it, and even call themselves French Bwiiiciuiics, nicy co noi ?pcaK a word of the French language. They are as completely assimilated to the Boer nationality as any European emigrant in the second generation in America is to purs. r i '. SMALL COST MOTOR CYCLES , ; ON, MARKET. 'Motor cycles may be as common on the streets of New York in a? few months as automobiles are now.

BARR, 118 State St. . Scientific Optician two, and their weight wHI be, less than seventv-live pounds. Charles Jarrott and C G. Wridgway are the motor experts who have made tee predictions noted above, and the termer now has a model ot one ot tne new machines on the way to this coun try. This machine, he says, is built on lines similar to the lines of the bicycle now in vogue, excepting that some cf the parts are made heavier, to stand the added weight of'the motor. " (The; latter, of two and a half horse power capacity, is placed at one side of the rear ' wheel, and is balanced,' by a "gyroscope," or enclosed fly wheel, on the other side. The machine is said to be! capable of attaining a speed of forty miles an hour and of climbing any grade that a strong cyclist, unaided, can climb. Pedals are attached to the machine, and may hi used at the rid er's pleasure. j 1 ( Wheels of this style, it is stated, will be built by several cycle manufactur ing cjoncerns in this country. Other concerns arc preparing to compete in the new field with both motor bicy cles and motor tricycles. Many advan tages1 are claimed for the latter over the former, but their cost will be greater. ! By : way cf demonstrating the effec tiveness and speed cf the new class of vehicles all kinds of road records, and particularly city to city roads, are to be attacked in the spring ami early sum mer. J It is also probable that Amer ican made motor cycles will be repre sented in the famous Bordeaux-Paris race and other foreign motor contests. Among riders of Ajperican machines abroad will be HenriTournicr, Charles Jarrott, C G. Wridgway and possibly E. C Bald and "Tom" Cooper. i The first of the: . motor cycles of American make are expected to be on the market early in May, if not before. Many cyclists win ; regard these new machines much in the light of an exper iment, notwithstanding the claims made for them. New York Herald. 4 C ASTOR I A , For Infants and Children.

Iii the ofuTnarjr course of events we may expect a -laste of March weather about next JMbnday or Tuesdayj as the finger ends "of the oppressive weathe which visited the Middle West on Wed pesday. But it will not come to, us with the dreary and famishing accom- panimcnts lvhich characterize its visit! to such a place as Chicago. At, the vorst, it will be tnly a blast of cold rain with a possible mixture of sleet in the vartey, while the higher eleva tions may get a parting, flu fry ofisnow to carry off the remainder of the win ter's deposit that m2y be still in the mountains,! thus clearing the way for an early and comfortable spring. Of course, this; visitation may not come at all, because Weather prophet Pague, bo long a loyal resident' of Oregon, has been transferred .to the East and may not allow the storm to come across the R.ock:es, but even if -it should, ! there are no chills or horrible, fears iff s con teplating it in advance. " f j But to think of a city like Chicago, sitting upon the shores of a great lake and open to its sweeping gales; buried upon short notice under a foot of jsnow; the thermometer crawling into the-ero bulb, brings up a-flood bJ thoughts as to the misery, discomfort ' and actual suffering which must necessarily Result. It brings up also a feeling of pity, for the unfortunate denizens of such I a re- gion, and it ought to suggest a feeling of thankfulness that we are situated in a country that knows no such hard ships, rto such dangers and no such tribulations where we can move and work in the open air every day in the year with safety and comfort; where the birds can sing, and the flowers can bloom, and the children can play jthe whole year through' without interrup tion.

Joseph Parker, the eminent English preacher, cqnfcsses that ;n his youth the sound of the name Van. Die- men's Land now known as Tasmania powerfully affected his imagination. It was to him. as it has been to many youngsters, an appallingly mysterious place, but in time it lost its evil sug gestion, and he tells how this! came about in his recent book: "A Preach er's Life." At a Methodist meeting in the. north of , England the people had been singing a hymn in which the line: We- arc marching through Emman uel's trround," occurs, and at the close of the hymn one good old man, whose emotion wa!T in excess of. his intelli gence, fervently ,; prayed: "Grant that whetj this life is over every one of us may have a cottage in Van Dicmen's land." The poor man somehow ! got it into his head, by some law of . mental association which no 'one can fully ex plain, that Emmanuel's ' grounds and Van Diemen 5 Land were practically one and the .same.
