You will hear divcers answers as to It is a mistake to take Paul Kruger and his surrounding politicians as types of the Boer. Also it is a misâ€" take to take the dweller in the towns as typical. To unearth the real Boer one must seek the wide and solitary veldt, the hidden valleys, the distant hills, and there, on his farm, draw him out and study him. Your true Boer despises the town. He is essentially an agriculturist and a hunter. Up to 1892 he never saw a railroad in his country, and he was bitterly opposed to its coming. He argues that the railroad will drive away the game, and, without anything to shoot at, life will not be worth living. He is exâ€" tremely conservative, and with stranâ€" gers brusque and taciturn, but if he finds you are harmless he can be very hospitable. a He does not drink deep. HE IS RELIGIOUS with a gloomy, stern religion, which makes him believe, as did the Covenâ€" anters, as much in the Old Testament as in the New. Like all people whose belief in the Bible is of that uncomâ€" promising kind, he is more or less supâ€" erstitious, â€"He is moral. He does not believe in divorce laws. He marries early in life, and is convinced the highest blessing is an abundance of children. He is sturdily built, as a rule, thanks to his way of life, which is the same as that of his father and his ancestors for many generationsâ€" am openâ€"air life, with lots of beef and cabbage and milk. He is a good horseâ€" man, and a remarkable marksman. He understands that the man who can shoot _ straight and _ without exâ€" citement, makes nowadays, the best sutdier. He fears God and loves his country, but cannot understand the need, of a taxgatherer. At the first hint of gray in the Eastâ€" ! ern sky, at the first crow of the cock,| the farm housebold is up and stirring, | and breakfast, with the usual strong coffee the Boer loves, is over by the | time the sun rises. The men are out [ and about at once. The women have | plenty of work about the house. The | genuine old Boer farm furnishes itself | every necessary to its occupants.| The furniture is often macge vy the ; farmer, or he has great, unwlieldy, | carved chests and bureaus which have | come to him from his ancestors. _ He ; can make his own shoes. His women ; dress and weave his own sheep‘s wool, | and make theirs and his clothes from | it. There is almost nothing he needs to buy. He does not care a rap for , neckties or collars or store clothes, ainif a full beard is fashionable. _ All | he really has to buy is farming imâ€"| plemonts, and of these he prefers the primitive sort, though enterprising | agents have introduced such things as mowing and other machinery. â€" wi=â€" Duriag the day he works leisurely, conient to make a living out of the ground. He has been seen sitting in his wagon for bours watching an enâ€" terprising, hustling, Uitlander, with wonder as the foreigner worked conâ€" tinuously with all kinds of newâ€"fangâ€" led machines, producing far more from the earth than his wants required, beâ€" cause he wished to market the surplus and make money. He has been seen thus, shaking his head in pity and not unmingled with contempt at such folly, for the Boer is which varies very little all the year round, the Boer calls his family toâ€" gether and they have housebold prayâ€" \ ers and prous singing. No lights are | needed, or if one is, it is an oldâ€"fashâ€" \ioned lantborn, or, more likely, a | rush dip, floating in a cup of homeâ€" | made tallow. Ere the daylight has |fairly gone the farmer bas bolted the \ door and everybody is in bed. \~â€" He has no amusements, according to ! European or American lights. Knowâ€" ing nothing of theatres or picture galâ€" leries, he does not want them. He hardly ever reads anytbhing save the Bible, and that is a sacred duty, and with stammering and difficulty. The NOT A MONEYMAKER. He does not want a bank account. So he drives his slowâ€"moving ox wagon away on the hot and dusty trek, mediâ€" tating on the wani of faith these Uitâ€" landers have, who carnot trust the fuâ€" ture to God and be content with toâ€" day. He dines heartily at noon and sups heartily at evening. His day bardly differs from that of any farmer in any country, only, it he sings at bis work, it is likely to be a psaim that he sings. He smokes a great deal while he goes aboutâ€"a babit derived from his forâ€" bears in Holland. He is fortunate in having no winterâ€"no frost, no snow, only the dry season, when his cattle suffer, and the rainy season, when the rivers and ponds are flooded. > IH‘s bouse and barns are low and roomyâ€"simply furnished as to the house rooms. : The great featherbed is usually the most noticeable feature, unless, perhaps he glomes in a little harmon:um for his daughter to jxicl: out, hymn tunes on, ® a Sunday. Just before the sun goes down, at a time which varies very little all the year hunt is his chief sport, for big or litâ€" tle game, and there is keen rivairy in the display of trophies. Also he has ome favorite sport "of much the same kindâ€"the shooiing matchos. For this however, he does not dress up in picâ€" turesque attire, as a German does for a Schuetzenfest, but goes to it with his folks in his usual dress, seeing to it, however, that his rifle is in its best trim. One township may challenge another, or Majuba 5ayâ€"the anniverâ€" sary of the battle in which they whipâ€" ped the English in 1881â€"may be celeâ€" brated by a grand meet of all the neighbors for simple prizes. There is not, to the outsider, very much exciteâ€" mentâ€"no yelling or waving of handâ€" kerchiefs. â€" It is rather a grave funcâ€" tion, for even the children know that it is a kind of examination, during which each patriot is anxious to show with what a deadly aim he can shoot, when the time comes, for his fatherâ€" land. He does not fire off crackers on Majuba Day, nor get drunk, nor how!, but accepts it as an occasion for quiet, triumphant thanksgiving and a litâ€" tle patriotic oratory denouncing the demands of the Uitlanders. _ When the match and the speeches are Over he drives home as usual. Of course, in the bigger townsâ€"but there is no really big town in all the republicâ€"things may be more animated.

In the little market square of the nearest little burg there will stand a modest whitewashed building like a barn.

They _ would not belong to the human family if, of course, the lads and lasses did | not walk and talk and ccurt and exâ€" \ change vows. ‘These are the great outings® the picnics, of the year, and | small tradesmen and peddlers are on ‘ hand with knicknacks, and trumpery . to sell to the young folks, so that, outâ€" side the services, the meeting is a kind of fair. Sometimes also there may be a wrestling match or jumping match between young men, in which all, old and young, will take a deep interest. 1 with children she was very proud of, though they were rude and awkward boys and girls, had been in Pretoria, | and, there, by some chance, was taken | to luncheon at the home of the Engâ€" !lish Bishop. She could not speak Engâ€" ‘lish, butug\er hosts had been at the Although the Boer has proved that ha can be longheaded and shrewd in political and other grave matlers, in some of the ordinary matters of life he is remarkably simple. _ There are many stories told of ll)x'm unsophisticatâ€" ed ways. A prospector for gold found signs of it on a farmer‘s land, and after! a great effort succeeded in buyâ€" ing the portion he desired. ;A check on a bank in Pretoria was offered in gu)'lnt-nt: but the farmer had never een inside a bank, and did not know what a check was. He would take noâ€" thing but gold, and gold, a considerâ€" able amount was finally handed over to him. The excitement of the transâ€" action over, and his bewilderment at Fussessiug so much wealth past, the armer began to fear what he had nevâ€" er had to trouble himseif about before â€"robbers. He slept on his money, and an armed son, and while one of the two did the business in the market place, the other sat on the box conâ€" taining the treasure, warning off ail comers. It was only after his pastor had reasoned with him for months, and then with a great deal of doubt and nervous, cautious questions, he was persuaded to put his fortune in the Scandard Bank.

The farmer‘s wife was so much struck by the neat and polite daughters of the Bisbhop‘s wife that she went home saddened. She felt that, after all, her swans were but ugly ducklings. For a long time she worried, until, one day along came a trampâ€"a wallaber, with whose appearance she was struck. He was English, and the old lady had a happy thought. He was a tenderfoot, and knew not a word of "taal," but an interpreter was found, and the tramp was %()Spitably told he was to stay right there and teach the youngsters English speech and English manners. He protested that he could not teach Eng?ish if he did not know some Dutch but the old lady was obdurate, so he accepted the post. _ His first appearâ€" ance at the table was a signal for the mother to gather her flock and make them watch how the amazed and unâ€" happy Englishman handled his knife and fork aad so on. He stayed at the farm a long time, and as bhe really was a gentleman down on bis luck, probably earned his board. _ At any rate, the simple old farmer‘s wife felt her peace of mind restored when her whildren bhad bad "an English educaâ€" tion." So the Boer farmer and hunter purâ€" suecs his even way, as his people have ever done, and if what he considers th> accursed gold had never been found in his land, he might so pursue i« to the end of the chapter. It is to be: feared, however, that foreign capiâ€" tal and railroads and telegraphs and lightningâ€"rod agents have broken u his idyllic life forever, or, rather. wiH soon do so.

The manufaâ€"ture of wall paper is sinâ€"« gularly interesting. First, a web of blank paper is set in a reel behind a blotching machine; two cylinders bring the free end of the paper into the machine, where a roller working in a color pan puts a large quantity of color upon the paper in blotches. Then a set of flat brushes, called jigâ€" gers, brush quickly back and forth, thus spreading the coloring matter evâ€" enly over the surface of the paper. As the paper comes from the blotchâ€" ing machine a workman takes one end of it, wraps it around a stick and places the stick across two parallel endless chains, and the paper is thus carried up an incline. When 18 feet of it has run out, the chains take up another stick that lies across them, and carâ€" ry it up as they did the first stick ; a third stick soon follows the second, and thus the work continues until the entire web of paper has been run out of the bloiching machine. The chains, in their working, hang the paper in loops over a system of steam pipes, and it is thus thoroughâ€" ly dried before it reaches the end of the chainwork, where it is again wound into web form. Wall paper designs are first sketchâ€" ed on paper, and then transferred to rollers of the size required. It is neâ€" cessary to prepare as many rollers as there are colors in the design ; thus, if the design requires printing in eight colors, eight rollers must be prepared. EACH ONE IS GIVEN A COLOR. A workman to whom that color has been given takes a roller to his bench, sets it firmly in the grasp of a vise, and with hammers, files, brass, ribbons, and brass rods goes to work. Every bit of the design that is to be in green _ When all rollers are ready the tist directs his workmen and When his work is finished, the roller bears on its face, in raised brass, green stems, leaves, etc., and at the proper time and place will put the green colâ€" oring and shading, just where the deâ€" signer intended it should be. In like manner the other rollers are made ready for use, and they are then takâ€" en to a press that has a large cylinâ€" der of the width of ordinary wall paâ€" per. There are grooves around the sides and the bottom of the cylinder, into which are fitted the rods on the ends of the rollers, and, when in posiâ€" tion, the faces of the rollers just touch the cylinder. An endless cloth band comes to each of the rollers from below, each band works in a color pan, which contains, in liquid form, the coloring matier to be carmieda on the roller to which the band belongs. _ Each roller is placed in such position that the part of the design upon it will â€"strike exactly in the spot necesâ€" sitated by the relative position of the other rollers. e h is traced out for him, and he carefully reproduces it in relief on the roller. When all is ready the paper that has passed through the blotching maâ€" chine is placed between the cylinder and the first roller, the cylinder and thâ€" rollers revolve rapidly, and soon the paper is beautifully printed. At each of the endless cloth bands there is a steel scraper called a doctor and it is the doctor‘s duty to prevent too much liquid from the other pans from getâ€" ting on the rollers. e Aoe oove oi Genae . The wall paper press throws off ten rolls of paper a minute, and each roll contains sixieen yards. It is said that stamped paper forâ€" walls was first manufactured in Holland about the year 1555.

The sight of a whiteâ€"baired bishop standing on the footboard of an Engâ€" lish ‘bus for the express purpose of taking the passengers‘ money and ticâ€" kets, and otherwise acting as conductâ€" or, was one that might have been seen in a London street not very long ago. The sitvation a few iminutes before had been almost tragical. The conâ€" ductor was collecting fares on the top of his ‘bus, when a lurch or jolt threw him from the roof to the street. _ The fall was a heavy one, and the unlucky man came down headlong. No one expected; to see him on his feet again, but he picked himself up, staggered pluckily to the footboird of his ‘bus, ind essayed to resume his duties. His face was white as death, his forehead was badiy cut, and he quiverâ€" ed in every limbo. Several passengers gathered around him and tried to perâ€" suade him to go off to the hospital in the next cab, for fear of any internal injury ; but the poor fellow continued to grip the brass Landâ€"rail, although with shaking fingers. _ ® ‘"No," he said, "1 must keep at work. I darso‘t leave my ‘bus. 1 dursn‘t, inâ€" deed." Then out from the crowd stepped the whiteâ€"haired figure of Dr. J. L. Paterâ€" son, the learned Roman Cacholic tituâ€" lar bishop of Emmaus. ‘"Don‘i be foolish, my friend," he said in his kimd way. Off you go to the hospital in that cab. Give me your beliâ€"puach, cashâ€"bag and tickets, and I‘ll look after these people for you to the end of the journey." H« tripped on io the footboard with a vigorous step that would do credit to a man thirty years his junior, fully meaning what he said. It was no wonder there was a disposition to cheer. However, the disiinguished ecâ€" clesiastic‘s services in the capacity of ‘bus conductor, alihough frecly offerâ€" ed, were not called for. _ Passengers quitted; the ‘bus, and the dri.er drove it off to the yard, presumabiy, leaving the conductor free to secure surgical treatment.
