Feeding an Army

It is not eotpiisinjtf, when we remens her the amazing difficulties the arsojr has had to surmount, the unparalleled resistance it has bad to face, the ptrilt and hardships of climate acd transport Think of the food Bill alone for thli gigantic army ! The figures are alMOtt Appalling, Thirty six million pounds of preserved meafr, thirty six million pounds of biscuits, six and a half mil lion pounds of sugar, four million pounds of jam, twelve hundred thous and pounds of coffee, two and a ball million pounds of compressed vegetables six hundred thousand pounds of tea, and—think of it—twelve hundred thousand pounds of aalt. Theae are a ffiw.only a few, of the items m a year'e food bill for the army m South Afriot, and every ounce of these thonsands of tons bus to be sent seven thousand miles across land and sea.

The Forty Second at Relief's Pass

Bat; what is that ? "That" !a a British cheer. Said a squat, 'broad Light In fantryman. * Thae fellows o 1 the Forty twa hae a' the luck ! They are m wi* th« bay'net. "The little Highlander-he had three ballets through his clothing and accoutrements, and a bit chipped off hit hand—was quite right. The "Porty-tw*" were In with the bayonet. For m the day faded into dai knees an officer jumped vp—at least, it is said he was an, officer, bat It was too dark to see—and; said " Forty« Second ! How much longer are we going to be kept back by a lot of Dutch dogs ?" And one made answer and said. •* Remember Andra Wauchope." And another mad* answer, hnd said, •" Remember Magers footein." And y«?fc another yelled with brazen lungs, *' The steel 1' And a br»t blew into a bugle. It was enough. The Hlack Watch uprose m the gloaming. Eren then, so beautiful was their discipline, they kept rank and kept touch. With one clang they threw the steel m place — bare s and cruel, and sharp. Then without a word they sprang up the first peak. And it was as if the Angel of Death had passed. Nothingj could stop that death dealing machine—not at that moment. Bullets poured down. Men. were shot- through s-hou'dar, and chest, and limb. Only the dead halted* Up thty went, soldierly. Dp the steep height, Up with bayonets at the {[charge. The lust of battle was npen th< m. They ran op the elope ef tho peak-a slope where m cool bloed, one night with diffi culty crswl- As they neared the top the snide lengthened. Who hould be fi«st ? The moment had come. They burst npon the burghers In the darkness. They shomed the shorn of men going gladly to the combat -the shunt that appalled |the French cavaliy at Quatre Bras- the ehonfc I of the Back Watch coming !o ?he killing. And as they thouted they fell on. A lunge—all the weight of the body behind it., all the free and ferocity of close fighting. A thrust—clean through bone and musoJe andjainew. Yon seem^to hear tho rscresm of the pipes and the wild yell, 'Claymore I Claymore 1' For the kilted men aye love fighting with (he white arm. Three minutes,' wild and terrible work, and all that remained of the peak's defen* c ers was a few bundles of rags and clay, lying m f^ul) red paddles on the bill top. — From 'Cißseii'd History of the Boer War' for March,

Interprovincial.
