MARCHING WHILE ASLEEP. "Two days after . the battle of Glen- coe'we were suddenly told to get what things we had, as we were going to march to Ladysmith," writes a British private to London Tit -Bits. "We had hardly left the camp when the Boers started shelling it again. They did net know we had shifted. The whole brigade was about two miles keg. We were marching' all night until,, about five o'olook in the morning, when we had three 'hours' rest, and then start= ed •again .until five o'clock in the af- ternoon. On again ' at night.: then another rest. On again at six .o'clock next morning till three. o'clock in the afternoon. Forward . again at six o'clock, marching - all night. The transport kept losing the path, and could not keep with. us. Raining all the time. Through .drifts up to our knees, nothing on but khaki, "We reached Ladysmith about eight o'clock next morning, very nearly dead. Most of our fellows were walk- ing while fast asleep. Others Yell out and dropped to sleep directly they touched the, ground. ' I •don't mind the fighting, but I never ; want to , got through such a march lignin.". KILLED; WITH WHOLE. SKIN, .. You may have your bones broken, your heart smashed to'. a pulp and strong :tendons torn, while the skin remains,' quite uninjured. This is done by large missiles.

The town thus honored above all others, and, as we learn from Matt. 11, 23, honored more than the conduct of its inhabitants merited, is not mentioned in the Old Testament, and but once by Josephus. It stood on tiue•Western shoreof the Sea of Gal. flee, and its site according to the best authorities is a village called Khan Minyelw.

Apparently his first Sabbath in Capernaum. Fie entered into the synagogue. Jesus regularly attended services in the synagogues until at length he was driven out of them. Misunderstanding and religi- ous corruption did not prevent bis reg- ular warship. Synagogue worship has been repeatedly explained in our notes. It was instituted either dur-: leg or after captivity, and brought re,,. ligious truth nearertothe common people than the temple services could do. Taught. The reading of the Law and the, prophets was the chief ' feature of synagogue worship, but.af- ter the reading it was expounded, and apparently any rabbi might be called upon to take part. 22. They were 'astonished at his doc- trine. " At his teaelhing." He spoke not of the puerrile themes of the scribes. as " how far one might walkon Sab- bath," or " what vessels might be used for cooking," but living truths which .penetrated the . heart and con- soience; he proclaimed the kingdom for which all Jews looked as- having come; and he spoke as one that had authority. i 23. A than with an unclean spirit. The word " unolean " .was used by the Jew to describe things which , the law forbade, and persons with whose he 'mutt not associate. In those days rio kindly,provision was made for the Seclusion of lunatics and irresponsible persons, ' and this poor creature, see- ing the ,crowd enter the synagogue, followed it. That there are evil spirits,. and that in our Lord's day 'they took - possession of human bodies, is the plain teaching of 'Scripture. He cried out. "The loud ery often mentioned in such cases was no doubt," says Dr. Alexander, "od .suoh a nature as to indicate the presenceof the foreign agent speaking either through or without the' organs of the man pos- sessed.". 24.

Exchange. Lazy dogs were lying undisturbed in the middle of the road,now and again somebody dawd- led up or down the street, shop -keep- ers seemed startled if you went in and asked for anything, and the great marvelwas that there should be any necessity for streets and shops at all. Even the 'arrival of the boat -trains with the mails scarcely seemed to make any difference. There would be a faint flutter of excitement round the railway station, and presently a few porters would straggle on with luggage to the nearest' hotel. and that was all. But now Jill that is changed. South- amptpn to -day teems with busy life, and the population appearsto be a good deal too large for the . streets. All day and half the night the busy tramsare laden with people. The pavements are' crowded with men in scarlet, men in blue; men in khaki; officers, and privates, and tars, with their wives and. sweethearts and friends and relations: The hotelsare all full, even beds are scarcely to be had,: and landladies are reaping a gol- den harvest. ,Any one who ¢had not visited South- ampton for some time would have been surprised at the appearance of the town, crdwded.as it was with the offf- cera and men of the Sixth Division. Every one seemed tobe buying kit or keepsakes, The shops have risen to. the occasion. Here you can see a huge placard reading, "Officers' out- fits at a moment's notice," and here the announcement, "Charming sou- venirs.". Indeed, from the.amount of shopping going on..you _would think that every, one had forgotten 'what they wanted, till they got to , South- ampton. Nightly outside the town's three theatres there are long queuesof pro- ple waiting for admission; and scores ultimately get Vied away.

As to the; affec- tion with which his telloweefficers re- gard him, General Hunter's charming little message to the Macdonald ban- quet in London-" Me. best love to eom- rade Macdonald "-speaks for itself. In spite, however, of the warns lik- ing he inspires of those above and un- der hits, it is oai record thert some of his dusky Sudanese once mutinied against him. 3facdonald's method of dealing with the outbreak once again illustentes the man. His regiment had of necessity to mfake . long forced marches under the fierce desert sun, and the conditions were so bard that the men became mutinousd One day during the march Macdonald over- heard twp or they at the native sol- diers saying, " Wait 0111 the next fight, and I will take care that this slave- driver of a celonel does not came out ul,ve. I myself will shoot him." .THE CHALLENGE. o- Macdonald recognized the men by theirr voices and called a halt, and sternly ordered the culprits to step out. from the ranks. Faebag them, he cried "Now, you are the men•who are going to shoot me in the next fight. Why ,wait xo long? Why not do it now ? Here lam, shoot me-tif you dare!" The rebels grounded their arm's in sullen silence. " Why don't you shoot 0" asked their colonel. , "Because you don't seem to cure whether you die or not," end that re- luctant answer eXOlained the secret of Macdonald's power over half -savage soldiers. There was no more grum- bling, and the same men, and oth- ers like them followed him devotedly GOOD STORY. Many stories are told of his ways of deaiing with his excitable and childlike Sudanese battalions; and in teat published by Chapman and Hall, " Atter the Abue Hauled fight, Col- nel Macdonald bad soundly rated the men who began the independent tieing vithout orders. Well, one night at Berber, Colonel Macdonald, while oldier properly dressed in drill order without arms.

Though he has been through so many and the Whirr of the Maxim' are mere commonplaces to him, Brigadier -Gen- eral Maedonald is rather a retiring man; and when once asked what it feat like to be in the midst of battle, he quietly and characteristically an- swered, "I don't think you feel any- thing in particuler."
