Mr. James Mackenzie, who vvae born
and bred in Cioderich townelliP, `AM)
his brother, Donald, still lives (he has
another brother in fIeneall, Alex, by
name) le of a roaming disposition. On
reaching manhood he learned the trade
of carpenter and on completing hie
apprenticeship took contraota on his
own responsibility, 13y and by he
moved his family to the American Soo
where they still live and two years ago
he went to Sauth Alma where high
waves were paid men of his trade, no
less than five cloilars per day. As
board ranged from twentystive to thirty
dollars per month there Was a good
margin of protit. file agitation, whioh
finally resulted in the present war,
began about thettitne of his arrival and
on the outbreak of hostilities business
of all kinds was completely paralyzed -
and he decided to come home. He
could not, however, leave the country
without a passport from the Transvaal
Government whieh he succeeded in
obtaining. ,Ile left Johannesburg on
January 241h and reached Clinton about
five weeks later and spent some time
with his brothers, his coustus,the Wailis
family of Goderich townshipaand among
other friend a Mr. Mackenzie, who
talks entertainingly, says the climate in
the mining dietriot is favorable and
without our extremes of heat and cold.
They have no enow banks, indeed a
native born knows nothing of "the
beautiful," though in our midsummer
nights, that is during June, July and
August, they do have some frost, but in
Ib e daytime a bright sun shines uns
clouded overhead. The land is rolling
and given over to pasture rather than
to agriculture though of the Boars were
progressive enough they could by irris
gation grow abundance of grain. Raising
cattle, horses and sheep is their princi-
pal occupation. All the hard labor is
done by the blaolts for the genuine Boer
loves manuol labor no more than he
does soap, water and personal cleanli-
ness. The great wealth of the Transvaal
is the mining of the Johannesburg diss
trict where there are located a number
of the most productive gold mines in
the world. The mines extend along a
ridge running forty miles east and west
of the city and have been equipped
with the most modern and expensive
machinery. A vast amount of capital
Iia been invested and employment is
give') to several thousands. The whites
do the work which reqwires intelligence
and skill and are well paid, while the
hard work is performed by the blacks
who get a Shilling per day and their
board. They are kept by themselves
in what is locally called a compound
and are under the control of a white
man who is styled a keeper. The blacks
cook for themselves and are more con-
cerned about the quantity than quality.
l'he railways of the oountry, said Mr.
Mackenzie, are inferior to those on this
continent. The guage is several Inches
narrower and the rolling stock lighter,
the cars, passenger and freight, not
being much more than half as big as
ours. He saw President Kruger ride in
state and on those occasions. has heard
him compared to the advance 'agent in
ecircus troupe an'cl when the President
walks to church he. bears a marked
resemblance to a nainstrel "end m
Mr. Mackenzie says the war can have •
only one end and that is in the utter
defeat and overthrow of Krugeristn.

England's Boy Choirs.
• .faian Ralph, writing of "the Choir
Boys of England," in the April Ladies'
Hoine journal, says "Small boys are
much preferred for the reasen that they
develop into manhood later than big,
stnlvrart children'for it is at the coming
of manhood that their voioes break and
they are obliged to stop singing until
their adult tones are reaohed-a matter
of years. A boyish treble is as delicate
as the bloom on a peach, and its pos-
sessor must lead an orderly and inno-
cent life, whieh is why so many choirs
are made up of boys taken from their
homes and boardedand taught in church
institutions. These sometimes are able
to sing until they are seventeen or
eighteen years of ago, though between
fourteen arid fifteen is the usual period
when their voices break."

• It was an • American subject, Robert
Choitte,of Boeton,Mass„who first,through
the Montreal Steraiuggested the popular
patriotio fund taken up by the children -
of Canada and United States, and now
receiving suoh favor all over the world:
The idea.was to get something started
with which young Canada could be iden- :
tilled, and the presentation of which
would bring the boys and girls of Canada'
into direct touch with the Queen, who
will treasure the photographs of the
boys and girls.It was propoeed to en-
gross on parchment the name of every
giver to this fund of ten cents and up-
wards. The name of every boy or girl
who collects ten subscriptions in the
testimonial is to appear in the testimon- •
ial as a leader in the movementgind the --
photograph, beautifully mounted of
every boy and every girl who collects
five dollars or upwards is to accompany
,the gift and the testimonial. The latter.

placing amongst the tributes from her
loyal subjects placedin the room in
Windsor Castle Where the • public can .
obtain a.view of them. The presenta-
tion of this great testimonial from the
children of. -Canada through Lord Minto,
aceompanied by the•photos of the chil-
dren, who are raising it. will be a to,uch...
.ing incident in.her life, and it is an.
portunity that will probably come only.

Nothing Succeeds Like Success..
Two or three „years age the Toronto.
News was coneidered only as a bright,
newsy, enterprising paper that might or
might not mike headway in the over,
orovvded field of journalism, but it has
sprung into greater prominence. So
great a; eirculation it has. attained,that
the one dollar a year daily is noW no
longer striving for increased circulation,
but ie lying, as it were, upon 'its oars _
s's
and takingthe subscriptions of one
dollar paid in advance for a year, as the •
fruits of past labors, A laity paper for
one dollar a year is indeed a great boon
to the country, and the success of the
Toronto News is another proof of the
old adage, "Nothing succeeds like suc-
cess."
