When a man dies people ask how big

A Thrilling History ot fifty Tear.
Struggle for Ijiberty in South
Africa.
"Even lyddite shells will not main
tain an empire which Is built on de
lusions," sayB Dr. J. C. Voigt, author of
"Fifty Years of the History of the Re
publics of South Africa."
In his history xnd in the article which
he contributes to the February number
of the .North American Beview, tbe
Doctor maintains that British rule in
South Africa has been characterized by
a ferocity, barbarity and cruelty never
before committed or tolerated by any
nation claiming to be civilized. After
noting tbe fact that in every British
colony the world over, the original inhab
itants are being killed out, he says that
an increase in native population im
mediately followed the Boer occupation
of the Transvaal.
His descriptions of the struggles of
tbe Boers for their lives and their
homes, and the brutalities practiced up
on them by the British are thrilling
word pictures.
Here is bis aceount of tbe execution
of the five republican leaders on the
hill of Slnchtersnek:
Ketief had frequently heard narrated
.to him aU the details of tbp cruel, exe
cution eceoe: how the friends and rela-'
tivee of the condemned men begged in
vain for a reprieve how thirty-two of
the other prisoners, many of them con
demn.d to banishment from the coun
try for life, were compelled to witness
the execution: how the gallows col
lapsed and fell to earth when the un
fortunate victims were half-strangled
bow the bystanders then went down on
their knees and pleaded with the Brit
ish officer for mercy, pointing out to
him that God had interceded for the
unfortunate sufferers how the execu
tioners of the sovereign, who, accord
ing to the Government proclamation of
the day, was "so eminently distin
guished for tempering justice with
mercy," were implacable how brave
Martha Bezuidenhout, who had been
wounded, and whose husband had
been killed by the Hottentots, was
among those banished for life how tbe
liritish Crown refused to surrender tie
bodies of the executed men to their
friends and relatives, who desired to
give them Christian jrnrial.
The Doctor calls the Boers the South
African Pilgrim Fathers, and after de
scribing how they had to ilee for their
lives back through the passes of the
Drakensbu'g mountains, and how they
died in theig laagers at the hands of
treacherous savages, and from hunger,
hardship and disease, he concludes his
magazine article as follows:
it is the last year of the century
which opened with the cruel punish
uient of the republicans of Graaf Kei
net. [From ,i une, 1700, to August, 1800,
these men were kept imprisoned, with
out trial, in an overcrowded prison cell
—more than eighty prisoners being
locked up in one room every night. In
September, 1800, two were sentenced to
death, one was condemned to be pub
licly flogged on the scaffold, others to
banishment for life, or to imprison
ment.] Among whom there was one
Lucas Meyer—as there were, also, two
named Kruger, and two named Botha
—in tho prison at Cape Town.

Loving Words.
Lovlng words will cost but Uttlo,
Journeying up the hill of life
But they make the weak aod weary
Never was one said in vaio.
When the cares of life are many, -A
And its burdens heavy grow,
Thlntt on weak ones close beside you,—
If you love them, tell them so.
What you count of little value
Has an almost magic power,
And, beneath their cheering sunsntne,
Hea~ts will blessom like a flower.
So, as up life's hill we Journey,*
Let us scatter, all the way,
Kindly words, for Ihey are sunshine
In the dark and eloudy day.
Grudge no loving word or action,
As along through life you go
There are weary ones around you,-
If you love them, tell them so.
—"The Esoteric."

Oerm. in OrMm.
During the winter month, some far
mers find they cannot churn cream In
to butter. The trouble Is caused by
micro-organization, or germ, which th.
milk from one or more cow. In the
dairy contains. These germ, enter the
craam and their excertatlons or pto
maines cause a chemical action which
prevents the formation of batter.
Such eream will never make butter
the longer it 1. churned the frothier It
will become. The cow at fault can
readily be detected by setting the milk
of each one separately. When the
cream is ripe fill a clear bottle about
one-half full at 60 degrees F., cork and
.hake for a little while and the cream
which contain, the germ, will become
very frothy. Excluding the milk of
the cow from which that cream was
taken will at once stop the difficulty.
There are certain elements of the blood
in such cows which are degraded, alter
ed or changed into germs which are
transmitted through the lacteal fluid.
Scalding the milk, an old custom, neu
tralizes the ptomaines and to an extent
destroys the germs, but does not elimi
nate them, and the butter thus made i.
not of good quality or wholesome, to
be eaten.
Milch co^a in winter shoiUd .be.tort
In a comfortable stable which I. well
ventilated. Their fodder should be
sweet and water pure. Their .table,
.hould be cleaned night and morning
and tbe floor sprinkled with dry saw
dust or some equally vbsorbing mater
ial. each cow should be well groomed
at least twice a week. Then with suf
ficient allowance of good, tine corn
meal and wheat bran, there will be no
trouble in making a first-grade batter,
providing the milk and cream are pro
perly managed. If there is a cow
whose teeth are bad and digestive or
gans feeble, .with weak assimilating
power, she should be removed from the
dairy as soon as discovered, as the pro
ducts from such a cow are not fit for
consumption.—T. H. Cox, M. D., New
York, in Farmers Tribune.

Des Moines, la., Feb. 2.—The Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy system
a few days ago closed a contract for
the use of the Union station and ter
minals of the Des Moines Union rail
way. The Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul road has secured an injunc
tion to restrain the Burlington from
entering the Btatlon on the ground that
the contract must, under the by-laws
of the Des Moines Union, be ratified by
unanimous vote of the company's
directors. It is considered a move of
the St. Paul to keep the Burlington
out of station facilities.
