The Colour Line.

Keferring to the determination of the British Government not to employ^ our Indian troops in South Africa, the Japiet Telegraph says :—Had wo cared to land fifty thousand Indian troops in Africa we might have had the fighting over three months ago. 'f the Boers could have employed the ksffira against us they would have done so, as witness their determined attempts to that end, by means of proclamations to the Swazia and Basute-s, and their action in compelling fll blacks thfy couH safely commando to serve them in the field, But the Steads and the Oourtneys and the Laboucheres, regarded by many people as being as touch our enemies as the Boerf, were so nervously averse to Britain arousing the susceptibilities of the Continent by employing Indian troops that we agreed to self-stultifica tion te close their mouths. It was a crass mistake. It emboldened the objectorß to further effort, encouraged rebellion, lengthened the war, and nefdlesslv added to the British death roll.

BADEN POWELL AND A MILITARY CYPHER.

The special correspondent of the "Man cheßtcr [Guardian with Colonel Mahnn'a Relief Column, writns from Making :—I forgot to say that we had a runner from Mafeking with messages fcom Colonel Piuiner and Colonel Bader.-Powell ; they asked us wb&t our numbers »e»*e. how many our guns, ard what the state of our supplies. The answer was most in genious, a 8 we had no code to which they had [a key, and we could not trust * straightforward statement of such impor t-wit facts to the risks of th,e road. So Colonel Rhodes invented this antWer :— "Our cumbers are the Naval aed Military multiplied by ti°rj : our e;una, ths number of sons in the \Vard f-ooily, the 0 C. 9th Lancers. Excellent *»s the Boer latelli genco is, I do not suppose that they asfe. aware that t,h« Navai'&i,-.d Military Club is at 84 Piccadilly ; that the hou&e of DadUy rtjoices in six stalwart aona ; or that the cffioer ccixnmiding the 9th Lancers is Colonel Small Little-

The Rights of Servant Girls

One of the things, like the poor, al ways with us is the domestic servant question. It is a delicate^question, too, ia regard to what servants and em ployers may and may not do ia regard to each other, This was pointed out the other day, when two girls who had been in service together attended at West London police-court to get some advice |from Mr Lane, They had thrown|up their situations suddenly, and wanted to know how far the law justified their action.' On the magis trate inquiring what grievances led to their hasty leave-taking, he was told that the meat which came down to them from their employers 5 table was cold. " Well," was Mr Lane's reply to this rather frivolous complaint, " you could not expect the meat to be as hot as when it was taken to table. That does not justify your leaving." Then they averred that the work was too hard } and that the saucepans were dirty, lf That does not justify your leaving, 1 said the magistrate, promptly. "Yea took the risk of all that when you took the situation. Servants have to get up with a little roughness.' The third grievance was the language applied to them, and on heariug what it was Mr Lane said that certainly would justify them in leaving at once. However, they must try the question in the county court, He then directed an officer to wait on ths mistress to tell her to give up the girl's clothes. And with that the young ladies had to rest content. ;

Why Sentries Go Mad.

Peering into darkness or semi-dark nesa while on septry duty has a ten tieacy to produce a distortion or vision which makes of every bush au enemy, and this has in many cases, even so recently us the fc-oudtm campaigns, so affected the nerves of men that they havo had a resulting monomania as to eternally seeing various creeping ob jects. Une man in the Soudan saw every object of a vivid crimson for some months after being on outpout duty during an alarm, and he was only cured with great difficulty. General Hamley tells of sentries who, on being relieved, yet stood stock still, immov able, speechless, and staring fixedly in to vacancy. In some casts, after the man had been removed, this sort of fixity would remain for hours,. Even in peace time, there "was a case lately where a young sentry wounded the guard by firing at it under the belief that he saw a ghost; and Lord Roberts, in one of hi& magazine articles relates that even the most reliable and truthful of soldiers on sentry often have the most fantastic stories to tail, due to [shattered nerves, Great numbers of soldiers in war time have committed suicide or accidentally shot themselves, the cause often being that they imagined they had let someone creep past them, and had thus betrayed their trust.

Under the distinguished patronage of His Majeßty the King of Italy, aa per communiod blon made by the Minister for Foreign Affairt through the Consul-Genera! for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Oliniea and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract .n the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinons oik. In order that these crude oils may not betaken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPT EXTRACT, which is recognined by the medical division of the PruseianGovoramen to be of perfectly pure origin, as pa information forwarded to us through th Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, w bate:— It is proved by tests by the 'viedical Clien ol tb« -Univowsiikia ai Bonn and Greifawald. Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sehulz.Profesßor of Parmacology, atßop, and Professor Dre Mossier, Director rf the Medical Clinics at Greifawald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aid freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plan, Allorude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or go called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— which our product the only genuine \ Eucalypti Extract develops most) freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density, through tne presenoe rf aoids. 6 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins *nd tennatea, if these crude oils, so-c lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista :e in cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sane? • urs6 Victoria, Australia.

A cough that is left to cure itself is slowly overcome at best, and there is apt to be some weakness left to make the nexb cough come easier. We have two really good remedies for coughs and colds. BENJAMIN GUM is specially suitable for recent; chilß It is pleasant to take, cures very quickly, pre vents inflamatory symptoms and allays annoying tickling and hacking coughs.
