The untimely death of General Jou- bert has brought to the front one of the most remarkable of the young- BOTHA ACHIEVES A DESTINY FORESEEN FOR HIM. or Afrikanders, Loruis Bocha. He was but. 36 years of age, when he was sud- denly called upon to take supreme command of the Federal forces in South Africa. The nomination was made in the first instance by the late General Joubert himself. It was con- firmed by President Kruger, and en- thusiastically approved by the burgh- era in arms. No instance of such rapid promotion has ever occurred in mod- ern times. When the war broke out NUW UHIEF OF THE BUERS he was a simple commandant. General Joubert’s temporary in-disposiiinn placed him in command at the battle of Colenso. Then President Kruger sent him to supersede Presment Schulk-Burgher and Cropje, at Spion Kop March 6. At the council of war at Bfiggareberg he was appointed Lieu.â€" tenant General of the forces in Na- tal, and at the end of the month he aucceeded General Joubert. NO JEALOUSY FOR HILL Rapid as was- his prounotion it has excited no heartburnings, nor have lthose whom he has superseded re- trained from enthusiastically approv- ing his selection for the supreme com- mand. Louis Both'a was born under the British flag, The Bothas are an old Natal family, and Louis saw the light of the world at Greytown, Naâ€" tal, in 1864. When but a boy he left Natal, and settled in the Free State. Perhaps every one is not aware of the quite magical effect of a face shampoo when tired out. Its refresh- .ing powers are so great that the lit- tle trouble involved is not worth con- sidering. Wet a sponge in soft. hot water. Put on it a little good soap and a few drops of glycerine. Lather the face thoroughly with the rinse, and rub the skin with almond meal till it is quite dry. \Vash the meal off with fresh hot water. then spray or sponge the face with cold water till the flash tools nice and firm. This closes the pores. Dry gently with a soft towel and [powder lightly with pure Fuller's earth. . He was from his youth, a lad of met- tle, restless, pushing and energetic. When, therefore, the Boer filibusters, or emigrants from the Transvaal, went forth to help anizulu and set- tled that part of Zululand which was called the New Republic, and after- ward became an integral part of the 'lh'ansvaal Republic. Louis Botha, a mere youth. went also. He was one of the early pioneers who took up [arms in the newly acquired territory. There, close to the Swazi frontier, some 35 miles northeast from Vryheid, he has built his beautiful homestead and laid out his estate. He lived there rather in a style of an opulent Eng- lish Squire than a Boer herdsman. Louis Botha speaks English fluent- ly. He has 9. strong predilection for the Irish, and married a beautiful lrish lady, stately in appearance and Baths. was a Miss Emmet. The Both-ti very charming of disposition. Mrs. homestead could compare very favor- ably with a firstâ€"class Canadian farm. The buildings are substantial and aiâ€" tractive in appearance, the parklaid out in English style. It is altogether a superior home. A plentiful supply otgood booksin several languagesare to be found in a library which for Afâ€" rican conditions must be termed a well-stocked one. A first-class piano and organ and excellent furniture complete an ideal country gemleman’s home. Here he lived a quiet life, taking, however, his full share in the Govern- ment. He was a member of the Volks- raad, and belonged to the progressive party, in common with General Jou- bert. He was a. strong opponent of monopolies and dynamite concession, of which 00m Paul was the stanchest supporter. He seldom spoke in the Assembly, but when he did he spoke to the point, and earned the soubrlâ€" qugt of "KTln; \Y‘Lse in Council." 1 _,, He hnd his baptism of fine as a oung officer under Lueas Meyer in he war against Dinizulu's enemies. ver since he has been a mafiked man Villebovis-Mareuil was an ardent admirer of Bothra, and many a time expressed the belief in his irresistible rouruge and sagacity. The army chap- lain whom Sir Charles \Varren sent to bury the English dead after the battle at Spion Kop described him as vehement, full of fiery indignation Lgainst the English, resolute but not disinclined to listen to common sense. He is very unassuming in his looks. He seems just what he is,â€";i hardy, thongâ€"minded, well-built and shrewd Ion of the soil. The audacious ltlt‘t has of the Boers during the recent weeks fire to be attributed to his guidance polely, up he is the ideal leader for I guerrilla warfare carried on lly means of swift, harassing movements. The Boers look up to him already with the some confidence which they be- atowed upon Jouhert, and the temâ€" pornry dâ€"isoouragemeuts have given way to confidence and renewed spirit. A FACE SHAMPOO q ABLE LEGISLATOR Anecdotal o! Colonel Ego. Colonel Ego was a famous charncter in the early days. Although living in Donlphan county, he was often ln Atch- lson. followed by a pack of bounds. He was a high toned southern gentle- man. with a klnd heart. One day while returning home from this city he cnme across a man whose wagon was stuck in the mud in Inde- pendence creek bottom. Colonel Ego at once started in to help the man pry out his wagon with a fence rail. While both were working away Ego became angry and yelled to the man, “Lift. you son of a gun; you are not lifting a pound." The man picked up the end gate of the wagon and split it over Ege's head. laying him up for three weeks. Ego had his hat of! when he was struck and was so bald before 'coming to Kansas that he was known as the Bald Eagle of Maryland. Ego always carried a pistol and was always trying to shoot through some- bodv’s hat without hitting him. One day. at the Independence creek ferry. he shot at a man. but aimed a. little low and creased him. But Ego was always a gentleman; he took the man into his home and tenderly cared .for him until he recovered.â€"Atchison Globe. Spanish Proverbs. Proverbs uncomplimentary to the fair sex are common in Spain. “A wo- man. like a pavement, should be well trampled on to be kept in order," “A woman is like a. candle, Twist her neck if you wish her to be good;" “Be- ware of a bad woman, and do not trust a good one;" “Crying in a woman and limping in a dog ls all a sham:" “A cock crows on his own dunghill. but hens cookie everywhere" (this in refer- ence to the supposed garrulousness and inquisitive disposition of the sex); “Show me n magpie without a spot and 1 will show you a woman without a fault.” In English counterparts are not wanting. for example: A woman, a dog and a walnut treeâ€"- The more you but them the better they be. Mothers-in-law and stepmothers come in for a good deal of sarcasm. Some of the proverbs in regard to them will not stand translation. 0! a man who is accounted lucky they say, “If he fell from the roof or a house. he would fall on the top of_ his mother-in- law.”â€"Chambers' Journal.

The moth steals upon you in the dead of night and chews up your best trousers, gorges himself upon your wife's furs, tickles his palate with your swellest flannel golf shirt, munches away upon your handsomest rug, punches holes in your best sofa cushions with his tusks and then silently folds his tent and steals away without so much as a. thank you for his meal.
