Going at once to India, ho learned much from his father about Afghanistan and the campaign thorugh which General Sir Abraham Roberts had just passed, thereby layâ€" ing the foundation of the knowledgo which he later put to such good use.

No military leadâ€" or in England stands higher in the hearts of the British nation, and in the jndgment of European critiecs his ability ranks with or above that of xr(r] Woiseley, his commander in ief. On the same occasion he showed his faith in his system by saying that if the time of trial should ever come India could rest secure, not only on ber troops, her forts and ber guns, but on the loyalty of her foundatories and the affection of her subjects. He always gave the credit of his viectories to the men under his command. Much of his success as a general and as a builder was due not only to his remarkable magretism, but to his close touch with the men in the ranks. Leaving India in 1893, after two terms, or nearly cight years, as comâ€" manderâ€"inchief, at a farewell banquet in Calcutta he strongly urged upon all officers the necessity for showing sympathy with soldiers and their families, and of giving effect to orders in a liberal and intelligent spirit. But that was only one ‘episode in a brilliant career, and many of those best qualified to judge believe that Roberts‘ most valuable services to the empire were comprised in the arduous, unobtrusive labors by which be reâ€" modelled the frontier defences and virtually remade the Indian army, bringing it to its present high effiâ€" ciency. More than once his reforming opinions were so opposed to general notions at the time that they made him the object of attack, and even ridicule. But he stuck to them, and later was vindicated by their adopâ€" tion. sword and the freedom ol the city, rare gilt accorded to comparative! few men, among whom General Gran was nambered. â€"Universities, the ar clent trade guilds and commerci: bodies with with ons another in givin degrees, privileges, banqguets and ac degrees, privil dresses, Upon his return to England after that campaign the country honored Roberts much as Admiral Dewey was honored here. He was thanked by the Government of India and by both Houses of Parliament. The Queen sumâ€" moned him to Windsor. The municiâ€" pality of London presented to him a moberts to a~mnister the crushing blow which eaded the campaign. His tactics then, taken in conjunction with the foresight and caution charâ€" acteristic of the man, no less than his tact in dealing with all around him, augur well for the follilment of the British hopes which are counting on his ekill to counterbalance the extreme mobility of the Boer forces, from which the British have suffered most heavily in the present war. sea probably is the n« to it.

In these four counties thore are no }less than 2,287,2907, or more than two millions and a quarter, acres given to the preservation of deer. Foresting has proceeded apace during recent years. Since 1883 nearly 600,000 acres have been added to the forest: acreage. The whole area of Scotland in acreage is about 19,500,000; it follows that, reckoning the forests in four countjes alone, one acre in every | cight and a half is kept waste for the rearing of deer, 1 In order that on a few days in the | year a few persons may enjoy the | killing of a certain number of these beautiful animals this vast area is, for the most part, sealed against the intrusion of man.
