have done, and what the Eagiiah have done, and why they want to Sght about it Without entering at this time into minor details ot difference or the later

incidents that have miened exasperation to hostility we will name the broad

er leotaree ox toe controversy. The Trahavaal is a region that includes all the country to the north of the Vaal

River and heaoe the name -as far aa the Limpopo (or Crocodile) River, and

embraces both sides of the Quathlamba

Mountains. It Ilea between latitude twenty-two degrees fifteen minutes and twenty-eight degrees forty naimttea

east Its area is about one hundred

and fifteen thousand square miles; and

its nonuiatlon is estimated at three hun

dred thousand, of whom about one-tenth

are whites.

Now, certain Dutch Boon who lived

m Cape Colony and Natal became dia

satisfied with Britiah rule. They did

not take kindly to a change which to

the old Hollanders of Manhattan made so little difference. Like the people of the Orange Free State they thought they would like a government of their own. The Scotch were consoled for

the merging of their nationality by the

ooniiaerMiun wat a acottisn uynasty was aeated on the Britiah throne; and It was long ago pointed out to Dutch

eoiottisu whose country was oeded to England that the circumstance of a

Dutch Prince having a -ended the Ingush throne should reconcile themselves in a like manner. But the Boera failed to see the matter in thia light; aueh comfort thsy thought might have been very well for contemporaneous enjoyment bat waa of tittle worth merely as a remlnJacence. Thus it was that in 1840 these dissatisfied Boers marohed. like so many modern Hebrews, out of the land of their masters and set up a.

For a long time thev eheriehed hopes that Great Britain would allow them to enjoy their independence in peace. Bat for aome special reasons, apart from her customary lust for territory, Great Britain began to feel otherwise disposed. One plausible reason given out for interference was the fear of a raters! war be

tween the natives of Africa and the European colonists; and, at last, in 1B7, the Traasvaal wai formally annexed to the Cape Colony. Such, in brief, la an outline of the events that have led to the present war. England wants the Tranavsil, like its neighbors. Natal and Cape Colony, to be added to the list of Imperial posses sions, aad aeserts a claim to th soil prior to the Boer occupation; and the Boers want their Independence.

"There is no knowing what be' 11 take into that head of his to do," she eaid to herself, as ahe put on her bonnet looking Trottyward. Aunt Rachel considered all boys as unnecessary evils, and this particular specimen of the species ahe regarded as one of her greatest weans of grace. Not that Trotty was a particularly bad boy. but he wo a thorough boy, going from one piece of mischief to another with untiring energy. Just at present he was stopping with Aunt Rachel.

That waa Trotty a story, told with many team. Mamma drew a breath of relief; it waa not so bad as it might have been. But, nevertheless, Trotty must not be allowed to Ylew the matter in that light, and for a few minutes mamma waa puzzled to know what to

do with him. " 1 think." ahe said, after what seemed a long time to Trotty. who was waiting anxiously to know his poniahtaent, "1 think my little boy most go right back to Aunt Rachel Here comes papa, ha will take you." "Oh!" cried Trotty, in dismay, "I don't want to. You puniah me yourself, mamma, harder' n everything' Bnt mamma was firm. Trotty had disobeyed Aunt Rachel, and to hsr he

Mew Slefga-nelta Are Made, How many boys and girls know how the jingling sleigh-bells are made? How do you think the little iron ball gets inside the bell? It is too big to be put in through the holes in the bell, and yet it is inside. How did it get there? This little iron ball is called " the jinglet." When you ahake the sleighbell it i ingle a. When the horse trots the bells Jingle, jingle. Jingle; in maktiji the bell, this jinglet is put inside a ittle ball of mud, jut the shape of the nside of the bell Then a moid is made ust the shape of the outside of tho ell. This mud ball with the jinglet inside is placed in the moid of the outside and the melted metal is poured in, which tills up the space between the mud ball and mold. When the mold is taken off, you see a sleigh bell, but it would not ring, as it is full of dirt The hot metal dries the dirt that the bail is made of. so it can lie all shaken out After the dirt la all shaken out of boles In the bell, the lit tie iron iinglet wilt still be in the bell, and It will ring all right It took a good many years to think out how to make a sleigh-bell.
