He is describ. as having been utterly

General ,T' ioberir wos .lways in favor
of the us,,, o for,% instad of diplomacy,
and Presaidet rg on' several ocea
sions had gr difftehy in repressing
his holheaeda rai , nombly in 19
when Joubrt.' with Kruger anid Preto
rius, wa- p11annin the rebellion to over
throw the British rule in the Transvaal.
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.
In spite of these characteristics, Jou
bert, on some occasi.tns showed cons'd
erable rezardt fir th: us.ap-s oIf civiliza

In N ovemiber last it was ireportedl that
General Joubert ad bee illed.i action
and later report sid h~e was darnger
osly wounded and: had to use ai cart in
ord'r to follow the operations in the
field. 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.

WASHINGTON RELICS.
Articles ot~ rr:'eii~ Woirth Kept 1:1
the Nat oonl ;:rum-2
One of theO mOSt interesting relies in
the National mtuseum at Washington is
the camp chest undi by Washington
throughout the Revhiaion. 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

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."

it is quite possible, though of course
not demtonstrable, that the humble
barn fowl has been a larger benefactor
of our rade than any mechanical in
vention in our possession, for there is
no inhabited country on earth today
where the barn fow;l is not a mainstay
of health. There are vast regions of
South America and Europe where it is
the mainstay, and nowhere is there
known anything that can take its
place. which is probhhy more than can
