The dangerous army error of under -estimating the Boers at the outbreak of hostilities was succeeded by the safer mistake of overestimating them throws -a -a • the second period of the war. TfietBoers lack the leonine quality of attacking power, and there- fore the soldiers of the Transvaal can- ( bot rank as "an army of lions led by asses." The political and military leadership of the Dutch Republics lies been absolutely incompetent. The burghers have attained a certain effici- ency in -warfare, thanks to their own individual merits, but there has been a complete lack of tbe genius which could have applied that efficiency to the fulfilment of any great design. Success alone could justify the policy , embodied in the ultimatum which be- . gan the war. Failure completely dis- credits Kruger a,nd his advisers who framed tbe ultimetinn, and joubert who planned the invasion. The Boers threw away the advantage of a strong moral position when they invaded British territory instead of standing to their arms against a British invasion of their territory. It, is true that tbe Boers have inflicted more or less loss on the British, butin the process they have -wasted men and supplies which they cannot replace. If they had saved their men and supplies they Would have been in a better position to appeal for the sympathy of the Em- pire, standing in defence of their soil against an blvador, than they are now as the baffled invaders of British soil.

Mr. Baker died at his late resi- • dence onMonday last, at the ripe old age of 87 years, after an illness of only a few days.

Before he retired from active life he lived for many years on his farm at Devizes.

The chief causes for the apples spoiling so badly, he says,. were that early frost, and the subsequent warm fall, which caused the froit to heat and rot. .
