PICNIC FAIITY HELD UP. Accused of. Being Spies and Ccriefined ain a Give.' A• remarkable- incident occurred in Basutoland recently. A picnic party decided to make aatrip into the Basu- telandopuntry,• which they entered by a pass known as the...I:fah' Ingubo on the Natal frontier, and encamped for the night in a cave in the Drakens- berg. Proceeding on their journey the following day they asked a native to direct them to a clave in winch -they could 'take their mid-day meal. The ; Basuto appears to have given informa- tion of their presence, for towards evening the party was intercepted y a number of natives. The old Who appeared to be in charge carried a .gun. The Europeans were then ar- rested, accused of being "white men's. spies," and taken to a place- which had the appearance of .• a mountain stronghold beneath • an overhanging cliff. Here the visitors' horses were turned astray, and the headman, tell- ing 'them that they would not be al- lowed to re-enter Natal, signified that. they would have 'to continue without their horses and would have to carry their saddles. After a night spent un- der surveillethee in a cave, the Basu- tos maintaining a close ' watch upon their ,captives, the party made' their. 'escape by means of a stratagem, in which -they -were assisted by their Ba- suto gaide, who helped them to cap- turethe horses and led them back to the pass to which they had enter- ed. After a furious ride in the dealt- ness, the precipitous nature ofthe country leading to several exciting' ad- mentares, the patty reached the Natal side early the morning after their.eite cape, thoroughly spent and unnerved. Humanity and Progress. The British states -that is, the Gov- ernment of England, Wales and Scot- land—now feeds children who haves. reached school age and are not proirevoP ly cared for at horde. In view of the increase of infantmortality in London and other populous centres it is pro- posed to care for poor mothers mime, weeks before and after the birth ofa child. In London alone 120,000 babies. under one year of age die annually, and the the idea of the hospital is to pro. teet.the 'infants born to poor parente from exposure to. cold, impure food, and other ills which tend to increase infant mortality. All of this will help the- offspring of the poor to survive, whether this class is the fittest or not. On the other hand, a scientist has recently pointed out the declining birth rate noticeable in England is -ongeti_auerofeesiorial and middle classes and ".-itasst-helasse.s e be- ing steadily re -enforced by rec from the lower and less intelligent strata of Society. • The huinanitarian measures of the Government give di- rect encouragement to the poor to pre - duce large families. Mothers are cared for, infants looked after during their critical period and children fed as well as educated. Evidently the day of the poor man is dawning in the British isles. There will be Dick Whittingtons of fact as well as of legend, and the future Disraelis and Gladstones may be born to tenement house parents. but in a Government asylum and nursed and fed as well as educated by the state. • The Gircia• and the Arab'teed Circuses: are perhaps more to blame for the inisrepresenMtion of the Arab hotse thrill any other source.
