It is very evident from these facts that the eiviUzation oe South and East Africa has not reached. iLs development yet. In 1889 the Oryrrige Free State and the Cape Calmly agreed. on a Customs Union, which was revised. in terms in June of this year. Sonia of the items in this •colivention are interesting as indicating the point reached in the civ - Dietitian of the country. "Beads, known as Kaffir beads," are dutiable at 3 ranee a pound: so, too, are blasting, i:onapounds; preserved meats pay the same duty ; guns pay 20 shillings and 10 per cent. each; revolvers, only 5 shillings eatb. Many articles come in free of duty, most of them of the kinds naoled in new eountriee; on some °th- ere a duty. of 9 per cent is charged, while on artkles of luxury a rate of 20 ter cent. is collected. The Natal cus- toms tariff is rather lower in its rates, but there is a transit duty on most goods d.estined. for tbe Transvaal re- public. -- The importance of the Transvaai to South African enterprise is shown by the spa -e given to the tariff of that country. The full act of "the Honour- able the First Read" is set forth; and then follows an annotated alphabeti- al list of the articles, witb the duty, ether regular or special, to which ah article is liable. The large Amount of space given to details of railway charges is not the least inter- esting thing in the Guide, though the tharges and classifications are mono- tonous. To see sue,h names as Mafe- king and Palapwe with railway rates -quoted against them, to see "rates to stations in Bechuanaland," to see the rates charged on the Delagoe, Bay Rail- way, impres.ses on one's mind that in :spite of small details, the great Afri- can country is being opened, that Dark- est Africa is seeing light, that the light it sees is that of an engine's lantern, and that the world is getting smaller. From Cape Town this western system of the Cape Government railway ex- tends to Palapwe, more than 1,100 miles in:and; the Midland system extends to Pretoria, 741 miles from Port Eliza- beth; the Eastern system covers 315 miles. In Natal the Government rail- way runs to Pretoria, 511,miles away, while the Netherlands South African Company maintains a line 400 miles long, from Lorenzo Marquez to Johan- nesburg. The Beira Company's road is not finished yet, but extends more than 200 miles inland from Beira to Umtali. Not far in the future excur- sion trains will run to the Victoria falls; already the locomotive's whistle is heard on the Limpopo. Griqualand West is far to the south of the railway terminals, and it is only a short time before Matabeleland and Mashonaland :shall hear the noise of trains. DID NOT SUIT.

Saul drives the sheep and (use down toward home. He has no idea that Samuel the prophet. will find out that he has saved these sheep and oxen for himself. Rommel comes and asks Saul the news frona the battle. Saul puts on a solemn face, for there ie no one who can look more solemn Lhan your genuine hypo- crite, and. he says, "I have fulfilled the comuiand a the Lord." Sarau.el listens, and he hears the drove of sheep a little way off.

He says the army -not himself, of courtie, but the army -had saved the oxen for sacrifice, and then they thought it would be too bad anyhow to kill Agag, the Amalekitie king. Samuel takes the sword and he slashes Agag to pieces, and then he takes the skirt of his coat in true oriental style and rends it in twain, as meek as to say, "You, Saul, just like that, shall be torn away front your empire and torn away from your throne.' In other words. let all Phe nations of the earth hear the story that Saul by disobeying God won a flock of sheep, but lost a kingdom. I learn from this subject that God will expose hypoerisy. Here Saul pre- tends he has fulfilled the divine commis- sion by slaying all the beasts belonging to the Amalekites. and yet at the very .moment he is telling the story and prac- tieing the delusion the secret comes out and the sheep bleat and. the oxen bel- low. A hypocrite one who pretends to be what he not or to do what he does not. Saul was only a type of a ola,ss. The modern hypocrite looks aw- fully solemn, whines when he prays, and during his public devotion shows a great deal of the whites of his eyes. He never laughs or if he does laugh, he seems sorry for it afterward, as though he had. committed some great indiseretion. The first time he gets a chance he preys 20 minutes in public, and when he exhorts he seems to im- ply that all the race are sinners, with one exeeption, his modesty forbidding the stating who that ene is. There are a great many churches that have two or three ecolesiastical Uriah Heeps. When. the fox beg-tne to pray, look out for your chickens. The more genu- ine religion a man has the more com- forbable he will be, but you may know religiouie imposter by. the feet that he prides himself on being uncomfort- able.

He sees behind, the curtain as well as before the curtain ; He sees everything inside oue. A man may, through policy, hide his real character, but God will after a while tear open the whited sepulleher and expose the putreCaotion.

I want to quote one passage of Scrip- ture for you -I think it iet in Pro- verbs- " thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself, but if thou scornest thou alone shall bear I learn further from this subject what God meant by extermination. Saul was told to slay all the Annie - kits and the beasts in their posses- sion. He saves Agag, the Amale- kite king, and some of the, sheep, and oxen. God chastises him for it. God likes nothing done by halves, God will not stay in the soul that is half His and h alf the devil's. There may be more sins in our souls than there were Amalekites. We must kill them.

The seentof this story is in ;Condon, but the tale itself comes all the way from Rangoon. It is told. by the Ran- goon Times, which prints it on the authority of no less a person than a deputy commissioner. A showman took a few Burmese fam- iliesto,Londonowhere they gave an idea of villa.ge life in the Crystal Palace. There was one young and handsome Burmese, who won the love of a, young woman of education and wealth. She has acres in Maidstone; a place in Dartfort, fruit gardens outside of Can- terbury. ond other possessions. She is twenty-eight years old and nice looking. The Burman and. the English woman met nightly, despite the protestation of her friends. While the fireworks were on they used to weak around the pa- vilion and make love to each. other. The most active effort of her friends could not keep them apart. The Burmese were stranded, and all of them, except the fortunate young man, who won an English sweetheart, had an experience in the poorhouse be- fore they were sent baok home. The young mon was sent back rath- er hurriedly, and perhaps the friends of the young warna.n had something to do with it. But she would, not, relin- quish her brown sweetheart. An order Was sent to Rangoon to find the Bur- man and ship him to London immedi- ately. His p,assage has been prepaid. The Burman Was supposed. to be work- ing in the jungle near Mandalay when the Rangoon newsp,a,pers printed the story. . QUITE DIFFERENT.'
