MR. KIPLING AND SER A. MILNER.

The following k an extract, from a letter by Mr Rtt'lyard Kipling:— "It ia in thfl talk of die South African ri-ar.ttlt;ineab that the more slim of the Cape Dutch will try to filch back what they may have los f daring the War. The Free Staters aad Trans va^lers who have been under Iho arrow are far less likely to deUy and ciip^le reform than thtir loyal frienda in the o d Colony who have had all thf profits of the game so far and none of the risk. They will do their u^-, KiOßt to convince people that tbo rccnl! of {3lr Alfred JMiln r is one uf thj ways to conciliate the lv eh. Milner h>h hetui through the f w years with thorn Ho has watched their unutterable fhiff ness, their aßtotndißg conceptions of loyalty. th«ir Bimp'e notions of hononr, aud their more Himple viewa of progn-Ff* Ib Is jnat p(Ssiblt> that by row they a g tu be may know thano, and they would vastly prefer a High Oomraissioner who did not know them quite so well. One cats try on things with even the best of new men that one would not d«-eam of attempting with an old hand, and in the present ntate of Cape politics, the temptation is obvious Moreover. Mihier is respected by these who hate h m most, inasmuch as he ia not plftyng to etthar gallery, and can neither be stamped into severity nor coaxed into weakness. When the firßt flash of talk is over, he Is very likely to make the re settlement of South Africa a sane and orderly success. Theoretically) of course, this ma ter, m one affecting the Empire. shonid Btand outside politics. But the trouble is that Milner Is an administrator, and, therefore, detestable to a certain type of politician. Ido hope you will be able to make the people your way realite that this silent, capable man, worrying out his path alone down South, in the face of all conceivable discouragements, ia nob a steward to be got rid of on the threats or the wire pulling of a rebel commando."

In a certain little red book, with which we are familiar, are entered, ander the title, " A few drops of that oil which makea the domestic machinery move BWfletly," the following items :— How to cook rice well—lf yoa pat rice tato boiling water, It need noc be stirred At> all. Strain off the water before the r!ce is quite tender, pat a cloth over it, and leave ib where it will keep hot. Always ase % little salt, even for flee puddings. Fresh frnlt dipped Into strong eyrup, It, Lolled ecgar. and let dry, makes a pretty garnish for sweet dishes. Simple Icing—Put 2 >z loaf sagar In a pan with 1 tablespocnful cold water and the juice of half a lemon, stir till boiling, then ponr cat and keep stirring till thick. Put on the cake and dry in the air. Almond Icing—Take lib almonds, 31bs white sagar, 1 lemon, the white of one egg. Blanch the almonds ; soak them twelve boars in cold water, chop them email and pound them in a mortar, gradually add to them the other Ingredi ents Spread on cake and let it stand three days to harden before pasting on the sugar Icing. Beef-tea Cue! ard— Take \ pint of beef tea, a little pepper and sale, the yolks of 2 egge, the white of 1 egg. Beat np the eggs slightly, putting aside the white of 1 egg ; add the beef-tea, fiuttor a large cup, poor the custard Into it, and twist a piece of battered paper round the cop Put it into a saucepan, with as much boiling water %a will come half way up Draw the pan to the side of ths fire, and allow the custard to remain in it until id is firm. In will take about twenty minutes. The water must nob be a l-lowed to boil while the custard is steaming, or ib will be full of holts When the costard Is firs tarn it out, and serve eliher hot or cold. This in very nourishing.

A simple contrivance f>r a seat fhat sttust have Its back toward the fire—Very often a small dining room must suffice for a farai'Jy of fix or eight persons. It contains a long table, one of the ends of •which !b inconveniently close to the fire. The in^'ivi *nil who maafc be seated at this ml, grumbles frequently, at the a:zi of the int., when aU the o'hers find the room coW. A newspaper or antimacassar ib hu j? over the back of complainant's chair, bub it always clips off into the fender, After the meal is over the victim cmpblnf? farther of headache, or i queamithnesF, or bo^h which he (or ah ) experiences affer every meal, especUUy In winter time, and perhaps proc?eis to take medicine, when all they want la a screen such as any handy woman can make for herself, and an unhandy woman cs»n order from a cabinet maker- L^b "The angel of the house" procure » place of good stiff cardboard, or better still, matchwood, large enough to extend from the seat of the chair to the top of the head of a person sealed upon It. fasten to it wire hooks at the right height to oatoh the bar across the back of the ohalr ; cover thia screen with any material you like, baize, cretonne, or American laather, sad you will have a useful, and by no means nnornamental screen, and even. If not a thiag of beauty, ifc will be one of great benefit to any person who usually takes dinner at their own table " under fire."

If you are in want of a "really nice book ", If yon have a taste for poetry, and know all the stock poets by heart, geb J'jan Tngelow's poem 3, Longman's, Green, & Co% Paternoster Bow, London. Stir up some bookseller to import a few copies. It la hardly to be had in New lam afraid. If you can't get it, send etra'ght to the publisher, yon will be surprised to find how soon a copy will reach you, and In the meantime, I thlak yon are sure to be able to get Coventry Patmosis' poems.

GREAT CAPTURE OF FORGERS

Vienna, September 9.—A band of forgers have just been brought to justice at Budopest under the most Bensational circßttistances. The police have arrested a lawyer named Zoltan Takatg and Prau Etelka Kovacz, a well known painter. The prisoners have been proved to be the heads of the gang of note forgers who have been circulating abroad fcr the last two years forged banknotes of the lowest; denomination, mostly fos I'OO florins.

Tiikats had been well known politi cally, and had presided, at several public demoEstrations in budapest He had t|ree r©siqk>Hces, one being at the Hotel Boyal, where he received daily telegrams from correspondents announcing arrivals in different cities, which meant the dis posal of bogus notes

Etelka Koyacz, who is well known and posed at the Kossuth celebration as Hungaria, designed the false notes by the aid of photographic plates, The nutations are said to be perfect, their paler colour only leadieg to their detec tion

Takats tried to shoot himself when arrested.

Further sensational arrests have also been made, along them being Johana Moraweta,a reputedly wealthvjiandowner in M&rmim s> ziget> and a lawyer named Czipo, from Balaezka, both of wfiem are accused of palming off forged notes while travelling

These crude oils, or so calls Eucalypti Extracts, ars discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— whioh 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 tee presence of adds. 6 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of reein* and tennates. if these crude oils, so-e lied eucalypti extracts, are applied by mista ;e in oases o! oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal sofbmatione, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
