A---- He Was Formerly a Newspaper Man ~ Then He Drifted Into Polities--Much Now Depends Upon Him, In the press despatches telling of the efforts to Wljust peace relations between the British and the Boers in South Africa, the mas most promin- ently mentioned as urging the claims of the nh Se of the controvers is Sir Alfred Milner, the British high "King.

His gramMather on his mother's side wad once governor of the Isle of Man. As a young man Alfred was given a li- beral education. He studied in Germ- any, iv King's college, London; in Balliol college, Oxford; he was honor able low of New college, Oxford, and barrister in the Inner temple in I . > Coming out of college Milner was at- tracted to journalism, or, as Mr. Gos chen, chancellor of the exchequer, once said, Milner "deviated into the seduetive by-path of journalism' un- der the auspices of John Morley. This experience occupied three years of 3he arly life 21 Minar, from 1881 to IW uring which he was engaged on The Pall Mall Gazette and other leading journals, His journalistic experience gave him a taste of public life, and in 1885 he stood for parliament. Though he was defeated, his conservative = gpponent was elected by an exceedingly small majority, where previously the maj ority Bad been large. Mr. Gosghen, one evening in the se- vention att a debate at the Ox: ford .Union, of which he was formerly president. Among the speakers that night was young Milner, and it is re lated that Mr. Goschen was so much impressed with his ability that he re marked on his way home that he had heard "an undergraduate talking like oa statesman, . This favorable impression bore fruit for during two years succeeding 1587, Sir Alf was secretary to Mr. Gog chen, after which he was promoted to undersecretary of finance in Egypt. Considering the complicated state of the finances when the English assumed control of Egypt, the o to which Sir Alfred was called was an exceedingly important one. But he saw. more mere figures. He saw everything of those discouraging con: ditions and of the prospects, and in 1892 told much of what had come to his notice in his book. "England in Egypt." As Miler said in his book, "he would be a fool who, sitting in the finance 'office in Cairo, in a position of command, is not constantly re fleeting upon the conditions and needs of the people." Milner saw and re flected and profited by his observa- tions, For three yoare ho stayed in Egypt. Then for five years he was chairman of the board of inlaid revenue. It was while performing his duties in that capacity that he was called in 1897 to become governor of Cape Colony and high commissioner of South Afri- on. It was a call to a difficult task. His friends said to him : "We don't know whether to congratulate you or not; vou ave going to an ugly business." Then the character of the man assert: ed itsolf : Do not congratulate we, éertainly. Let congratulations wait, even if they have to wait forever, until I have done something to desorve them. But etill Jems condole with me, for no man is to be pitied, whatever y who in the best years of his hfe is not only permitted but is actually called upon to - engage in work into which he can throw himself with a single mind, A public servant must go where he is wanted.

HORSEMANSHIP IN WAR: Misuse of Mounts Explains British Yeomanry"s Defeats.

Un the conclusion of cach day's march the horses were tied together in line--- troops of thirty each---head-stall to head-stall, and the flank or end hor: sen were then brought round god tied together, so that - the whole troops formed a circle with their heads in- ward. When thus fastened they were fed out of nose bags. One would throw hix head up the better to entch his food, while the one next to him wanted to rest his nosebag on the ground; and thus during feeding time a constant tug-of-war went on between the animals all round the line, resulting in their kicking one an other, wasting a great part of their food, and constantly breaking their head-stalls. Bus. the worst result of all was that the horses could never lie down, for they remained with their heads thus tied together from their arrival at night until the trek 'was resumed next morning. In those days the men in the ranks carried every thing they possessed on their horses and their average weight would not be less than eighteen stone all on. Imagine. horses marching for weeks and weeks thus mounted, unacclima- tized to the country, and never able to lie down !

My English horse served me nine months, in which time wo marched two thousand miles, and ultimately 1 left him to recuperate in a remount camp. Don'ts.

Philadelphia Evening Telegravh, A Philacelphian who has just re turned from an extensive tour through the east tells a good story in which he was one of the principals. He was one of a party at a banquet tendered to the maharajah of Persia," at which nearly one hundred guests, represent ing nearly every branch of Indian life, were present. As special guest, he wae stated on the left of the Indian potentiate. During the meal he noticed that the latter partook of some fine Cumberland ham, and knowing that it was contrary to the Indian caste rales to eat any portion of a pig, he, without a thought, asked his highness bow it was he was eating ham. The maharajoh looked at his plate, then turning around to hig body servant standing at the back of his chair, said : "What am I eating?" The servant instantly replied, "Mut ton, sahib," 'and' without reférring to the incident again the mabarajah con tinued his meal, After the banquet the Philadelphian related the incident to an Indian fudge, and the latter said: "H that servant - had said 'ham,' he would have heen headless before to-morrow morning."

Professor Smythe, being rather sensi tive, presently became cognizant of the attention he was inviting, Crushing his enmity for the time being, he turned to his adversary, and, in a most engaging manner said : "Browne, my head rings; can you ac connt for it?" For a moment professor Trowne's brows contracted, while sourtesy and animosity gontended Then he smiled indulgently;, as he replied : 'Natural ly, It is hollow." \ The silence became of ive.
