It can coV t a Inly ho described as a remarkably healthy Infant, and the curious anonia ly of rule by a chartered company ?(?fins to have Justified Itself as fully | in t liia cuse as In the historic Instant,'? | of the East India company. It Is. In deed, a remarkable feat to have taken T a vast tract of country? larger than i France, Germany. Helium and Hol land together ? the home of continual warfare between savage tribes, and In less than thirty yen** to have Intro I duced there law, order and security for I natives and settlers, and many of the refinements of a high civilization, says : the Sketch of,Loudou. _ Till the pioneer column entered the country In 1890. to take over the con I cessions which had been granted to j the chartered company, there was not so much as a practicable road into the interior. Today there are 4.000 i miles of good roads, while the railway | stretches north ahd south and east, I connecting Rhodesia with the outer l world through both Capetown ami the j Portuguese port of Belra. From Hula way o It runs northwards ? a link In the [ great Cape to Cairo railway, which | Rhodes visualized?till it reaches Bel | gian tenltoryr taking the Zambezi in ; Its. stiTde. and crossing It by a bridge which is one of the engineering won ders of the world. A network of tele graph and telephone wires links up the ! scattered communities and brings them i Inte-tonch With the rest of the British I empire. Communications were rightly seen by Rhodes and his associates to be the key to the development of the country, and millions, of pounds hftve been spent by the British South Africa com pany during these HO years In improv ing them. In order to render accessible to British settlers the natural wealth and the wonderful climate of this fa vored colony. The climate Is such as to make It particularly suitable for European habitation, the fact that the country is within the tropics being counteracted by the height above sea level. the plateau which constitutes the bulk of southern Rhodesia being at an average altitude of 4,000 feet. The winter months? June to August ? are dry, moiii-xif- the rain falling between January and March. Even In the hot '^season the nights are cool. The tem perature in the shade rarely reaches 100 degrees and In winter there Is Just sufficient frost to he of service to the farmers. Fin? Country to Live In. The proof of the pudding is In the enttngr ? tlie low death rate and the sturdlness, not merely of the settlers, but of their Rhodefdain-boru and bred Children. There Is no need to send the latter home ? the separation which makes India, for example, so painful a place for parents? either for health or for education. There are between thirty and forty good schools In Bho deslw, wholly or partly maintained by the government, and several of these educate their pupils up to the standard of entrance to the University of Cape town. while three carry on education to the Oxford and Cambridge matricu lation examinations. There are plenty of opportunities for ' sport In Rhodesia, there being some ] twenty-five varieties of antelope alone. { Large game, In the shape of lions, ele I phants. rhinoceros, etc.. is also plenti- I ' ful. Sport of other kinds Is entered , ! to by the provision of clubs for polo, ; i golf, cricket and alher games, j in addition t<*. mining? for gold. coal, j chrome Iron and other ores ? the chief ; Industries of Rhodesia ?re agriculture , In Its various forms and cattb?-ralslng. j There are hug?' areas <>f country emt- j nently suited for erasing, and many of . the leading authorities are of the opin- j ion that Rhodesia will In the near fu- | tiire he one of the trr.-aiewt meal-pro- , dncinir countries of the empire and the ; world. The native cattle are small, j but hardy and fle?hv. and a xntisfae-i lory breed Is now being graded up which preserves the good qualities of the native stock, while artdtnc the greater size of the Imported hulls. | tJrent efforts are being made by the British South Africa company to de i.loo the Industry, nnd < \t.-n?lve nr TaugomelitS mi** under consideration for both refulgeratlng and canning on a large scale. The staple product of agriculture proper Is "mealies" of maize, for which there is a targe demand annate tlte natives ; but the soil Is so prolific that a large variety of other crops can ho grown, acc<?rdlng to the 'region and altitude selected. 6tinng^* ftn<t lem ons and tobacco, of both the ''Turkish" and tho "Virginian" varieties are being grown more and more largely, the cul tivation of tobacco, In particular, being assisted by the British South Africa company, which provides expert advice and assistance, as well as curlug sheds and packing-warehouses for grading and preparing the leaf. Has Overcome Severe Setbacks. Rhodesia has been unfortunate In experiencing many setbacks, which might have discouraged or even ( wrecked a less courageous community. The Matahclc and Mashona rebellions were, for a time, a dangerous menace i to the country, and were only quelled at a great expense of time and money; hut wise and sympathetic treatment of the natives have, It Is hoped, eliminat ed this menace for the future. ..The unfortunate Jameson raid involved Rhodesia In Its Consequences, not the least of which wato that, for a time at any rate, it wak deprived of the wise counsel and guidance of Its founder. The . rinderpest outbreak of 181)0 'swept away a large proportion of the stock which was the mainstay of both settlers and natives; but modern sci ence has discovered means of prevent ing tfils^and similar epidemic dlseaaei ainong cattle, so that fears need no longer he entertained on this head by the farmer who takes the' needed measures of protection. Lastly, both the Boer wnr and the war with Germany have depleted the country of a large number of Its best. n\en, at a time when they were urgent ly needed for development. But now the men have returned, for the most part, and the matertal future of Rho desia Is a bright one. With abundant natural resources, fine climate, con genlal society and most of the conveni ences of civilized life, Rhodesia offers a fine future to those possessed of some capital ? say, "from ?2,000 to ?5, 000; for the moment conditions are not favorable for the settlement of the small man without capital. The political future is less certain, but the majority of the inhabitants, looking to the advantage of a settled rule, undisturbed by political changes at home, and backed by the ever-ready check book of the Chartered company, seem to prefer, for the present, at any rate, to remain in statu quo, rather than to essay the doubtful experiment^ df. either Independent responsible gov ernment Or inclusion in tin? Union of South Africa. PUT OFFICER IN QUANDARY That Boche Prisoner Claimed to B? Fellow Townsman Filled Him With Mixed Emotions. There Is a good story of an incident that happened In France when a group of officers from u division made up largely of easterners was watching a column of German prisoners file past. The cOlUmn halted for a moment, and from the ranks of prisoners came a voice which said ? not only in good ICngltsh, but also In the vernacular ? "Where's the guy from Pittsburgh?" Wondering ? and not knowing to this day ? Ivuw news of himself and his native town had Bcnctrated the Ger man 1 1 hps.' an oflleor replied stiffly: "I'm from Pittsburgh! Why?" "Remember Blank's place?" the prison**!- Inquired. . "I've heard of it," the officer ad mitted. "I was bartender there," said the prisoner. it sounded llkr n voice from home ? .vet It came from a boche. And aa the officer later confessed he didn't know whether to Khake hands with the fellow or shoot him. Jed Tunklns.
