The result wa- "iluba hill and the practical indepe- eme of the Transvaal. It was Joubet wh organizted the army of the South African republic. According to the general's plans every native became a trained soldier without leavinig the farm v ith his equipmcnt al wars at hand. So near perFect was the system carried out that within 4 hors after the present war was declared the Boer nation was un~der arms. It was also due to General Joubert that the South African republics succeeded in amassing the anununitions of wa and provisions which have stood them in such good stead during the conflict now in progress. When the JT:nexn raiders were locked up in Pretoria jail, Jouber t was strongl in favor of their immed( iate execuitioni.

The circumstances of' the death of General Joubert are not explained in the disuach from Lo renzio MLarq4uez, which recalls th.~ fact that WYilliam Cox, a newsawhr corresponlder, who was re ently released from~ p~rison1 at Pretoria and who has arrived at Durban, said General Joubert was apparently sums peted of half-hearte.dness and that his life would be in da.nger at the hiands of the burghers~ if Prctor-ia was besieged.

It is a com pact affair about the size of a tourist's wicker chest f- r cooin oi"f the piresent day, 2Y.5 feet rug. :i fet wide. 1 foot high, and it euans an outfit consist ing of tinde~r bo-. pepper and salt boxes, Loules.L 'nives forks. gridiron and plate. Every- hit of the cutfit saive one bottle. which is~ broken at the shouldcr, luca~s streng enough to stand another campi. 2Near by are the tents~ used by Wash int-three in nuniiber. Ono is a sleeping tent, 25 feet long, with walls 6 feet high and a roof with a 6 foot pitch. It is made of linen. The other two are marquee teats of smaller size, one with walls, the other a shelter tent open on tbe sides. That the tenting ma terial of Revolutionary days was good tuff is proved by the excellent condi tion of these tents, which sheltered the great commander through all his severe campaigns. Here also is Washington's uniform, worn by him when he gave up his com mission as commander in chief of the army, at Annapolis in 178:3. It consists of a big siidhelly coat of blue broad lot, lined and trimmed with soft buckshin aid ornanmeatcd with broad, fat br:ss buttons; buckskin waistcoat and breeches. The size of the garments (which are in a state of excellent pres ervation) testify to the- big stature of the Father of His Country and sug gest that he had an eye to a fine ap pearance in his dress.-Washington Quite Another Question.

Y u are unused to it. Your guide iu:utio.nes., only ils heavy breath ad>ing that he is alive. It is see udnI nature to him to sleep in the heart of the wilderness, and his tired body n0 m1ore tan touches the sweet scent ed pine boughs when he slumbers. It will be so with you when you have aceus:toned yourreif to the p~reternat ural qui.t 0o different from the rumble of passing vehicles over paved streets and whichi affects you not. Flut tonight your eyelids are opened wide, and in Stead of tile blissful forgetfulness which you antiepateti, your every sense is C2 tile alert to catch and di vina the matning Of the strange noises whichlm !1i te woods of northern Maine In 'ront of your rude camp. which s leto::n h smoldering dlre sumokes an r s, each snap of charred em br soundng to your ears like the re port of a itilry. It is a strange sensa tion, th first n.ight in the woods. Awa u1) on the mountain side a fox barks. The weird howl echoes and re-echoes down the mountain side uu til it scems to reach the lake and float over its glasslike surface until it is swallowed up in the dark water. A night owl makes bold to disturb your already troubled mind by perch ing on a big pine not a hundred feet away and sending forth a screech that curdles your Wood until you realize what it really is. Directly back of you is the lake shore. Suddenly comes a soft tread over dried brush. Surely some one is steal ing up to your camp. You rise to a sit ting position and await the marauder's next move. Then once more you hear tle snap. snap, snap of his feet as he cautiously draws near. Louder and louder, you cannot be nmstaken this time; thisAs no trick of the imagina tion. Now he must be directly beside you, with nothing but a wall of boughs be tween. You can stand it no longer, and, with a half suppressed yell of ex citement, you seize your gun. spring to your feet, dash aside the light canvas that falls over the front of the camp just enough to keep out the snioke and run out prepared to shoot on sight. There is a mad scramble. a crackling of twigs, a mad splash, and-the head of a very badly frightened muskrat can just be seen on the lake's surfulce as it frantically pushes its way into the gloom. You creep softly back to your boughs rather ashamed at yourself and glance furtively at the guide, who sleeps peacefully through it all. At last na ture asserts herself and gradually you feel the drowsiness of approaching slumber steal over you. You slightly raise your head to take one last look at the flickering log that spiutters away outside. is~t' What's that? Two fiery eyes set in the fram'ework of impenetrable gloom beyond the fire seem staring di retly at you. Like coals, they burn and the words of your guide, "Oh. yes, thar's plenty of b-ar ro'n yere," come back to you with awful import. Then you hear the trecad of his cushion padded feet moving here and there, ut those awful eves never once turn from" you. They burn you with their hypnotic, baleful glare, and with a calmness you would not have believed you possessed, you softly reach for youri ridme. A mtuskrnat mnay be a joke, but a hun gry bear prowling within 20 feet of you is an unsafe guest. You know you are as white ats a sheet, and your hands tebeas you bring the piece to your souder and aim directly beiween those o eful greenish yellow eves. Sup i)ose you iss; hut, no, you will not. Your linger presses the trigger,.ik The roar of yorile sounds lk lnp of thundzr, and its reverberations roll1 and chase cach other over the tops of the pines and soruces and startle a thousand sleeping creatures who ren der night hideous with their frighten ed cries as they scurry or fly away fronm your vicinity. It's a rude way to awaken a man, and no wonder your guide jumps up yelling like a Co .tanehe Indian and nearly knocks out the back of the camp as he runs against it. When he finds you pale and trem bling and hears you declare that you have shot a be-ar, he mutters incred ulously and, lighting a lantern, goes ut to investate. You hear a lond French-Canuck laugah as he returns carrying by the tail a headless chip munk. which he tosses at your feet "You wan good shot, mn'sieur. You heet him square 'tween de eyes. No shoot better muoseif. hut ah tink you narve, vwhat you call. onstring, you better take wan good drenrs 'n go to sleep." So arc sounds miagnilied in the si lence of a first night in the M1aine woods.-Portland (Mle.)
