The country through which the Brit ish forces under command of Gen. I. C. Smuts are operating in their con luest of German East Africa is prob ibly the finest big game field in the w~orld. "Every description of buck and other game," writes a trooper of the South African horso in a letter home, "can be seen daily ranging the flats, and al though the bulk of them have moved away some little distance hardly a Morning passes that at dawn we do I not see droves of them careering be- o tween the various squadrons. They C conpriso chiefly wildebeest, eland, Ii hartebeest, gemsbok, roolbok, gyrsbok, h (nd springbok. In addition there v abound all sorts of wild creatures-- t lions, leopards, wolves, hyenas, wild 0 pigs, giraffes, also ostriches. 1 "'Tho noises of the night are most uncanny. Mingled with the howling of the jackals we hear the laugh of hyenas and the deep gruntings of pigs. A horse died the other night. and al though a sentry was not 20 yards away, only a part of the carcass was left at daybreak. "The worst enemies our horses and ourselves-have to contend with are bush lice. These tenacious ver min are a great source of trouble. They fasten on the legs and muscles of the horses as the latter graze. They are reckoned to bei a proilfic source of disease, not only among the animals but among human he'ings." SWISS RUN MODEL HOTELS Hostelries in New Heivetia, Uruguay, Are a Sample of the Progressive Methods of the Race. Wherever the Swiss go they esta1h lislh good hotels. In Uruguay t hero is a Swiss colony, called New Ilelvetia, devoted largely to farming. The land, which was one of the gar den spots of UTruguay, was di vided into small farms and sold to Swiss col (onists more than fifty years ago at a low price and on easy terms. The ordinary products of tho farm have fotund a wider and wider market, and in the last few years the dairy inter est has become noted. Grapes and other fruits are also extensively cul tivated. Now that the section is reached by railways it is becoming very well known. The good hotels of fer a pleasant resting place for excur sionists from Montevideo and Buenos Aires. The people are well off and adopt modern methods of living. Concerning "Slackers." Of all the new words that the war has given us, "slackers" is one of the surest to serve. Of course, the word wasn't new in England, but it had no general currency in America before we heard it applied to those who held back from recruiting. The Continent (Chicago) seizes upon it as a useful whip in the modern re ligious world. Jesus knew the slack ers, says the writer, and lie enjoined upon them to "let your loins be gird ed about, and your lamps burning, and be ye yourselves like unto men look ing for their Lord." The metaphor de rives from the flowing robes of the. Oriental dt'ess, which, loosened and hanging from the shoulders in times of relaxation, had to be drawn by a tight girdle around the ivaist whena anything was to be done. The wri'tr observes that Jesus very well knew that "any Christian 'who ten' ito thle way of loosentng now and again the service belt of his lile would soon for felt the power to tighten up Is belt to the old notch of thoroughness.

'lThe capitol building is not lighted at night, but four cluster lights are set at each corner of the building. These give a subdued light that produces an agreeable effect.
