Warman In Ladies' Home Journal. ,e Thnckeray and the Cabman. Thackeray Loved to relate jokes on himself, and one he especially enjoyed was about a Reading hackman. The author was unacquainted with the town, and the moment he emerged from the railway station he told a es backney coachman to drive hint to the nearest hotel. The driver closed the door ceremoniously, mounted his box and they started. In half a minute the cab was at a standstill and Thackeray saw the cabman at the door, bowing , to him to come out. He did so with- out a word, and found that be was at the portico of the station hotel, which he had failed to see was not a dozen yards off. But he banded the man a shilling and was entering the betel, rather pleased with bis own sang frold, when be wns amazed to see the cabman taking off his coat and offering to "fight him for the other sixpense." It appears that on that day a' resolution of the Reading towu.council had come into operation empowering backney coach- men to charge elghteenpence for any distance within the township. This was its first fruits! It Is unueeeseary to add that the cabman got his money and Thackeray a good story to tell at the clubs. a r,.. Ft ei.Is. - Interrupted the Programme.

Williams' Pink Pills I think it my duly, in view of what they have done for me, to add my testimonial to the thous.tnds of olh•rs that have been printed. For some months I suffered most severely frum pains coursing up end down my baok, It was thought that these pains were due lc liver and kidney trouble, but whatever 1 he cause they eregacntly left me in ter- rible agony. The pains were not al- ways confinad'to the back, but would shift to other parts of the body. As a result I got little rest, nay appetite became impaired, and I felt of great- ly in weight. I tried different reme- dies suggested by friends, whioh hav- ing no effeot almost disgusted me with medicine. 7Thon a personal friend urged me to try Dr, Williams' Pink 'Pills, I was not easily per- suaded because I had about concluded that medicine would not relieve me, but he iusisted and finally I decided to try them. I ;purchased one box at first, and to my astonishr-et before it was Halstead I was greatly reliev- ed. Then' I got a comae more boxes and these restored me to my farmer good health.

Guns and am- munition were brought into the eoun- try ay the obliging Netherlands Rail- way Company, who, notwlthetanding Lite fact that the oases were labelled, "Pianos, with care," and "Mining ma- ohinery," must have known that the geode transmitted along their line for the T'ranevaal Government were less Innocent than the external appear - ante indionled,'At any rate, the or- dinary residents of the Transvaal knew it, and the knowledge was n mat- ter of general comment both in Pre- toria and Johannesburg. One thing, however, was not gener- ally known, that the Transvaal Gov- ernment, gave an order to the firm of. Sehneidsr-Canet, of Creusot, in France, for two of the largest guns ever constructed for any Governnvont. These huge pieces of ordnance were of 12 -in. and 91 -2 -in, calibre respeo- Lively, The fact has only recently name to light, and the question arises for what purpose are diesel guns in- tended? n-tendedf The power of a 12-ineb gun, such as that now in the possession of the Boers will be better appreciated when it is explained that it fires a PROJECTILE WEIGHING HALF A TON. which can penetrate a target of solid steel four inches thie'k. The gun weighs Gil Lone. The 9 1 -2 -in. gun is lighter, and tires a shell weighing three hundred- weight. ' Both of these guns are too beavy for the eystem of fighting which the Baena have pursued up to the present; in fact, they are too cumbersome for ,land warfare altogether. Guns of this { calibre are common enough on battle- ships wad in forts; but as part of a mobile, oouetantly shifting army like that of the Boers, they are too heavy, too slowly loaded, and no more effeotive than the lighter, more eas- ily transported and more quiekly fir- ed pieces which the snowy is now us- ing. Under the circumaranoes, what object had the Boer authorities in view when they gave the order for these enormous gone it One explanation 1s that they were intended to assist the Transvaal in its designs on Delagoa Bay. Another is that they were the nucleus of Presi- dent Kruger's great dream of a Trans- vaal Navy 1 The Anglo -German -.Port- uguese agreement nipped in the bud the former scheme; an S.A.R. navy never came within the range of pos- sibility at any time; so there would appear to be no mission at all for those giant cannon from Creusot. Bat the Transvaal Government would not go to the expense of buy- ing the guns unless there 8005 some well-defined object in view. That they had sucli an object is now clear. The guns are in the Transvaal at the present time; they have not moved out of the Tranevaal since the out- break of •hoetilities-they are being kept for the momentous day when the GREAT AND FINAL STRUGGLE will take place. These guns, whose shells can wreak solid stone buildings ns completely as if their objective were so much card- board, are believed to be at Pretoria, mounted on substantial bastions in the fort, and intended to resist the British when the m'arah on the Trans- val capital takes place. A gentleman who for three years resided in Pretoria, and is at present in London, informs the writer that Gn artillerist whose duty it may be to work thee° guns, tuns indieereet enough to assert, some days after the outbreak of the war, that, if (the. Bri- tish entered. Pretoria, and there ap- peared no hope of preventing its fin- al capitulation, the Creusot guns would be turned on the town itself, and the invaders would be buried un- der the ruins I All that, of course, providing the British do not capture the fort at the ()utast l Such, then, is believed to be the purpose of these destructive guns, around which so much mystery has gathered, and whose existence the Transvaal Government, has made such Careful, if vain, efforts to keep sec- ret.
