MOFFATT WRITES FROM AFRICA Mrs. Richard Corley of Ops has receiv- ed the following letter from 'her nephew Mr. J. N. Mofl'att in Africa. Cape Town, Mar. 31st 1900. My Dear Cousin,â€"I received‘your very very welcome letter shortly before I left for Halifax and was very glad that it arrived in time, also Violet’s. As you will see by the address we are now in Cape Town. I do not know just how long we will be here, but we expect to be moved to the front next week. You will know however long before this letter! 1 reaches you. The boys are all very‘ i anxious to get moved on as it is very tire- some in camp, especially as we have not got a very pleasant place to camp. We are at a place called Green Point about three miles from the centre of the city. I have been puzzling myself to find why they called it “green” as it is now noth- ing but a field of loose sand. Probably it was green once but for about six months troops have been coming and going and between men and horses mav- ing around, and pitching and taking up tents it is now so deep that it is up to your ankles. It fills your nose, ears and eyes when it blows. I will soon have my bushel of sand eaten as the sand blows over our bread when we are at our meals no matter what care we take. When we are eating we just stand around our tent with our bread in one hand and our mess tin in the other. There are about 8,000 lsoldiers encamped all around us, princi pally English Militia, and just across the road is an encampment of Boer prisoners about 1800. There is not much chance of their escaping as they are surrounded by a high barbed fence with a live electric wire all around the inside and sentries posted at intervals of a few yards all around the outside. A couple have at- tempted to eacrpe but have been shot by the sentry and one of them has died since. Our vessel starts this evening for the island of St. Halena where they are transporting a load of.BrJer prisoners. The Canadian Mounted Rifles esc rted the prisoners to the docks for embark- atinn. We are not allowed much liberty here, but whlle I was at the docks anorher fellow and I managed to elude the guard' and get up street. Cape Town is an up- to-date city. It has erery improvement and convenience that you would find in an American city. Of course there are all kinds of people. The streets heveell the latest improvements. The street csrs have double decks. Same of the gardens and lawns are magnificent. It seems queer to see shrubs and flowers in full bloom in M acheâ€"large bushes covered with bloom hxgher than the houses. We have to be up at 5.30 every morn- ing and we have very little time to our- selves untll six. We had a parade to-day with all our guns and equipment in march- ing order, just as if we were on the march. Some of the soldiers who. have been around here and seen eVerything from the first say that the Canadians look as well as any they have seen. The other two batteries have been moved up and we expect to join them shortly. I have been enquirlng about Col. Hughes but cannot find definitely where he is. An officer told me that he thought he was at Bloem- fonteln on the Imperial stafl. Everythlng It is about~ time I was getting into camp so I think 1 shall close for the present. I hone the nex: time I write I will have mmelhing more interesting to is“ ) on. I hope also soon to hear from you again. It is quite refreshing to hear from Canada. Tell Violet also to write again and limb this is an answer to her letter as well us you rs, and that I will bring her some kind of a souvenir if I get a clunce to so back to Canada. Hoping that you are all well, I remain your loving cousin, ? ? ‘Q ‘l‘ ym went. to buy is pretty expensive in Cape Town jusu now, except grapes, which are as cheap as ever they are in Canada. We never get a chmce to buy them except; tram dsgos who owns to camp selling them. In is wonderiul how 111 my there are here who sympathizs with the Boers, also the number of British who hive come here from Johannesburg, Pre toria ani other Transvaal towns and are lying around here doing nathing while other: are going through to fight their battles. J . N. Moran. BY CHARLES Brena COATS. The sun was setting o'er konje and veldt, The heat of the day no longer is feltâ€" But alas ! what a dreary sight; Scattered around, The dying and dead Maimed and wounded.” . Bloody and red. Bruised and battered From foot to head, Torn and tattered, Their life blood shed; Men who for their monarch bled Waiting for death and the night. The reat gguns’ throats are silent at last, The vulture gloats o’er his hatefulv'repast” And darkness gathers around. The streaming fire 0! the Gatling, Shrapnell and bombshell At last are dumb, The ghastly work Of the day is done, And the horrors of The night begun.- Heroes are dying, one by one, Soaking their blood in the ground. Friend and enemy, Briton and Boer, Lying around by the hundred score, Catching the moon’s pale light. Covered in blood And dust and sweat, Agony On each Feature set, Clutching the place, . Quivering, gasping, Where the lead was met- Struggling vet‘â€" Beating the air in the throes of Death, Rendering hideous night. Who can describe with speech or pen That cry of a thousand sufl‘ering men That breaks on the horrified ear? - Moan of anguish Shriek of pain, Ravings fierce Of delirious brain Rising and falling And rising again, Mingled together In terrible strain, Like waves of a sea of agonv, Filling the soul with fear. And for what is all this bloody strife, This reckless slaughter of human life, What can such sacrifice mean ? ’I’is but the way Of a nation great Settling account with Another State, Forming for ever A kingdom of hate ’Twixt the two sides 0f the human debate. Paying the price with the life-blood red Of the Soldiers oi the Queen. â€"Tbe desk at which Sir John Man. donald did most of bl: work was lus‘ week sold to J. W. Woods for $101. â€"Tbe E B.

The Fox Bay settlers, as they are called, squatted on the inland some twenty-etven years ago and made a liveli- hood by fishing and hunting.

Spare the Birdsâ€"Save the Trees An exchange, speaking of the destruc- tion of our fruit. and forest trees by the canker worm and caterplliar, says : “We have no hesitation in saying that we have only ourselves to blame for ‘the condition in which we find ourselves placed. in the fall months of the year.‘ fools aged sixteen and upwards armed with shoe-guns have had our permission to roam through the woods and indiscrim- inately shcot whatever of bird-life came within range of their malevolent aim. School children have in many cases been encouraged by example and otherwise to destroy the eggs and nests of our greatest friends, and indeed the only effective means by which the larvae of destructive insects can be searched out and their ravages checked. Ladies are not asham- ed to wear on their hate the wings and mutilated bodies of our forest songsters. As a result the woods which formerly at this season of the year resonnded with the j vyous notes of every form of feather" ed life are now as still and silent as a grave yard and occupied only bv the canker worm and its tangled maze of webs: " Spray pumps are not what is need- ed ; let \us rather by legislatiov, teaching and otherwise attack the evil at is Very roots.” Mrs. Treaidder of Ottawa has received a letter from her son Percy, who went away with Strathcona’e Horse.
