Extract from a letter .o J. T.

Keq., from his son Lieut Mellish :

S. S. Sarpinran, Cape Tewn, South Africa, 8 a, m. Nov. 29th, 1899.

All is bustle aud confusion on board; we will disembark to-day.

I euppose the leuwer I wrote to be mailed as I hoped at Ospe Verde Islands and the one I acribbled off when we met the New Zeula.d steamer Rangteria reached you allright. On the 24th I[ bad the forward stewards brought up before the Cclonel for taking our fruit rations and selling them. It has caused quite a sensation. The night before our Company gave a coa- cert aft. The colonel-nurses, and officers, as well as all our company were present. 1 was the only Islander who individually took part 1 recited that chestnut, Tiger acd Tiny, that Minnie \ikee so well. It proved, however, to be the most taking piece of all.

We have had our bayonets sharpened, and our helmets and havereacks dved a yellow-brown, the same color as our khaki suite. The belts are yellow leather, 80 we have 00 conspicious mark about ue. It was found tbat there were a great many fatalities in one of the regiments in a recent battle on account of some part of the accoutrements being white, which heing setoff aguinet the rest of the uni- form made a conspicious mark for the enemy,and we want to avoid such a mis take. Everything has been going on first rate on beard, and [ am in good health,

When we sighted the Cape Verde Is lands I went on deck before sunrise, and through the mist and twilight could be discerned great peaks and mountains, making a jagged picture in the clouds. As it grew lighter the view became clearer, and we steamed up quite close to land. The scene was rugged and wild. I could not see a trace of vegetation anywhere, nothing but precipices, gorges, dry courses of torrents aad towering peaks, Mean- while, the English church chaplain, Rev. Mr. Almond, had communion ser- vice, at which about sixty of us officers and men partook. A mahogany table was used and a rail was built up around covered with flags. At 8 o’clock we were off St. Vincent ; an Island lay on the other side and the harbor extended inward for about three miles apparently. In the middle of the opening there was a high steep rock on the top of which stands a beautiful lighthouse and tower. We sigualled cur name and that we were all well, also s‘gnalledto British ship of war with four emoke stacks lying ineide; and then, greatly to our disappointment at not landing, we steamed right cn.

When we got to the equator they fired a rocket and blew the whistle. I happen- edte be on guard atthe time, and was standing jus! by the bridge when this was done, but I could not see the “line.” The weather was not very hot for a long time, as we encountered a south wind alter crossing, which has kept up ever eince. This is the cold wind ia the southern hemisphere. In fact, if anythicg it bas been rather cool. Through the whole voyage we have sighted very few vessel;

of any kind. Thie has beena mat'er of surprise, especialiy since we have been for some time in the track of the trade ships going round the Cape. The weather, how- ever, has been very hazy, so perhaps that may explain it. A few nightsayo for the first time I saw tbe Southern Crose. Ai first | was disappointed, but I grew to l'ke it the longer I looked at it and the many other pew constellations eparkling in the

We got some Cape papers from the steamer we met. She had called at Cape Town and left there a couple of days after we left Quebec. I found one of the papers full of sarnews. The fighting seemed to be getting fierce around Ladysmith, but thisisold news to you. If Ladysmith has held out and the Boers have been driven back I sappose they will not make much of astand at Pretoria, bu: if Lady- smith has fallen there will be a ct'ff cam- paigo for the British. Eveuts may have taken place however giviog a new com- plexion to everything. Alhough we are 80 near the seat of war we as yet know lees about what is transpiring tan you do. _ We bave had considerable practice ia rifle shooting with the Morris tube-s smaller tube being inserted in the rifle barrel so that wecan shoot at short range atasm?li target the same as if we were shooting ata large one at long range.

HORRORS OF COCAINE.

nese eyvyus cannot be more strongly re vealed than in the experience of an Aus ralian physician. lie has given the

of medicine the benefit of a narra what he underwent after he had pecome addicted to the almost Constant of the drug. Im the course of that confession, which he did not hesitate te make public, he said, in describing his sensations: “The first feeling a cocainist bas is an indescribable excitement to do

something great; to leave a mark. But, ales, this disappears as rapidly as it

comes, and soon every part of tlie body seems to ery out fer a new syringe. Ene second sensation—at first, at least, no hallucimation—is that 4yis hearing is enormously increased, so that he hears the flies walking over the paper. Very soon eyery sound begins to be a remark about himself, mostly of a nasty kind, and ke begins to carry on a solitary life, his only companion being his beloved syr- inge. Every passer by seems to talk about him. Often and often haye I stop- ped persons or ordered the police to ar- rest them, thinking they were talking about me.

“After a relatively short time begins the ‘hunting of the ‘ecainge bug.’ You imagine that In your Aim worms or simi- lar things are moving along. If you touch them with wool, especially ab- sorbent wool, they run away and disap- pear, only to peep eaufflously out of some corner to see if there is any danger. These worms are projected only to the cocainist’s own person or elothing. He sees them on his weshing, in his skin, creeping along his pepholder, but not on other people or things and not on clothes brought clean from the lanadry. How is this to be explained? Abort the same time appear mauy other halrucinations of the opticus and, strange to say, self sug- gested ballucinations Night turvs to day. You sit up in your room ing until the morning and then fall asleep in a coma. In my case this occurred to such an extent teat | had to engage a hospital warder, who came ia the mora- ing to revive me with about tes syringes of 5 per cest solution, so that 1 waa able to drive, not walk, fearing some one might garrote me. Other dreadfu! ballu- cinations I had in theusands, all of a per- see-ting character and frightening life out of me so long as the effects drug lasted.

soon as the effect of the injection is over you laugh at it and produce willingly by a new injection the same terrors. About that time I bought three St. Bernard dogs, thinking they would pretect me, but one night I found they were talking about me—bhow: they could get rid of me—so | stood up and shct one of them wit a re- volver, wiich | always used to enrry. | think this was the most dreadfu! nigat of my life—I standing on the table, with au Indian dagger and a syringe on the ground, one three foot high dog golng to die and two tather dangerous dogs roar- ing and groaning aloud, reproachfuily looking at me, who a!ways fancied. ‘Now comes the moment when they will teur you to pieces.’ I stood the night o: the table until the arrival of my wardman, who hardly risked to enter the roorn.

Love at First Sight.

“Is there such a thing as lore at first sight?’

“Well, that’s a hard question to an. ewer with any definiteness. There is something that seems like love at first sight, but it takes three or four years to determine its genuineness, and by that time the problem and the circum- stances are usually forgotten, and con- sequently nothing is elearly dermon- strated.”—Chicago Post.

Jchn is having a good time and speaks in glowing terms of the voyage; never felt better in his life. | From the Guif Stream he found the vor | age as pleasant asfrom Charlottetown to Sydney. As he isa bit of & sailor himself he found it more of a pleasure than some of the boys who thought they would never see land. He hopes to be in Canada by the lst May, and will bring a monkey or a Beer with him as o souvenir. ‘

HOW HE SUFFERED.

Oh, Mr. Bickers,” Gazzam, “I’ye just had the fright I ever had in my life, and you are the first man I’ve met that I could tell about it, because you are the first man that I’ve seen that I to speak to since I got off the train, al- though I saw a number of men that I know by sight, but of course I wouldn’t speak to them, even if 1 was just ach- ing for some one to sympathize with me, and why. my husband didn’t meet me at the train is more than I can tell, for I wrote him yesterday | was com- ing, and I should have thought that he would be anxious to see me after being away for a whole week, which 55 lon- ger than we've ever been separated since we were married, except when my dear mother had the fever and was so sick that we didn’t think she would live for a whole month, and for two weeks of that time I never took my clothes off, but just watched day and night at her bedside and fed her and gave her her medicine and brushed the flies away, but she got well, I’m thank- ful to say, and today is as strong as ever, and is quite as strong as any one of her children, I mean the girls, for of course I couldn’t expect to be as strong as the boys, neither could mother, but I started to tell you of the shock I’ve had, and it was almost a dreadful acci- dent, for there was a train that came chasing after ours, and we discovered that it had no eagineer in the cab, but was just a wi'd train that had started down the track all by itself, but thank goodness our train was run on a siding just in time, and they got the other train stopped somehow, but it gave me such a shock. Mr. Bickers, did you ever suffer in a railway accident?”

“Yes, Mrs. Gazzam, I have. I became acquainted with the woman who after- ward became my wife while traveling from New York to Chicago.”—Detroit Free Press.
