The difficulty of a ending the war has been increa.sed by' o the readiness with welch the Boers without uniforms ha.ve been trans - e formed into neutrals and British sympathizers at a, moment's notice, and also by the systematic arrauge- meets for feeding and protecting the women tied children.

A certain wealthy banker, who re- sides near Pontefract, in l'OrkSbiTO. 1.:11gland, has gradually acquired quite it collection of interesting and historic doors.

To its stout resist,- anco several of his prominent parti- sans owed their lives, for the door still shows the deep iedentations uttdo by a. battering-ram that was used against it at that time. Three or lour ye:Lrs agoe - er, while in Paris, offered $5,000 for a, door that had figured in the French Revolution. Through it had passed such famous folk' as Atari* Antoinette, Charlotte Corday, Den- ton, and Robespierre. Truly n door to winch some awful memories cling.

THE OLD PASTeLLE. when the prison of Mazae was da. raolialfed they thought of purchaeing, one of its doors, but for some reason or other changed their minds. These relics were, however, eagerly hie for; and one purchaser, a. latter- day SaniSOtt, actually carried his bargain home on his back, The -1,- 200 keys of the prison were_disposed of at the same time, but brought exceedingly poor prices. Even the most interesting of them were sold at the low price of five trancs, or a trifle less than one donee each. Wnen that celebrated old, hostelry, the Crab Tree, was about to be altered, Mr. W. A. White particular.. ly requested that the door should be carefully preserved. This was a very famous portal, with quite a enique. bistory, running back to the time when Good Queen Bess left her black - letter Bible in the bar -parlour as she fled from an unexpected police raid: -. Unfortunately, owing to some mis- understanding the • door, which con- tained the 'names Of landlords and other notabilities with their own au- tographs, was completely destroyed. Although Mr. ,White offered a con- sidera.ble sum for even a quarter of the valued door, not even this much was forthcoming. All that the work- men could bring him was BARROWFUL OF BITS, on which not a •name or a mark could be made out. All possibility of preserving an in- teresting relic had vanished forever, much to the disappointment of Mr. White, who regarded the door as one of the moat precious features of his property. • Seven years ago the people of Stratford -on -Avon waxed highly in- dignant on learning that one of the churchwardens had sold as -old lum- ber the ancient carved oak and pan- elled doors of the north porch of the church celebrated as the burial -place of Shakespeare.
