Joubert's Piety.
The resemblance 'which has been
traced between General Joubert and
Stonewall Jackson as military leaders
might be traced between them Be
men. • In. both (diameter wee don3-
inixn1.•and the character was that of
a sincere and spiritual Chriptian.
"Kruger is an Old Testament Chris-
tian ; Joubert was a New Testament
Christian," said one who knew them
both well. Joubert's religion was as
practise,' as was Stonewall iTaokson's.
The religious services in his camps were
thoroughly characteristic). Mr, Davis
says he will never forget .the deep
impression Of reality which they made
upon him. He sang "Old Hundred"
with his men before they went into
battle with all sincerity, just as he show-
ed mercy to the enemy and respected
their dead after the battle was over.
Hits honesty was as aggressive as his
courage. He had a keen sense of
honor.- From "The Military Leaders of
the Boers" in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for May.

A Good Paper cheap.
Row long it daily paper can continuo
te Bell at one dollar it year anti not raise
Its subseription rates is a subject of
debate by the newspaper men ot l'anada.
One Toronto paper publishing a dollar
daily has raised ita price to two dollars
a year; will the others he compelled to
follow? Up to date the Toronto News
seems to stand solid in the Jesse of all
competition ; to disregard the fact of
the high rate of postage imposed; to•
pay no heed to the increased price of
raw paper, but to continue 'hi triumph-
ant course. There is little doubt that
more subscriptions are coming to them
to -day than ever before, but, one cannot
help but ask, is this pot because the
people through the country want to
have their subscriptions paid for a year
in advance rather than wait the posies.
Why of a jump in price ? The Toronto
News to -day is the only Metropolitan
daily paper in Ontario at one dollar a
year.
