SAYINGS OF QUEEN
ELIZABETH:
DRIVING FORCË AND
INCISIVENESS.
A splendid book, a book to warm patriot's heart is "The Sayings ‘of Queen Elizabeth," by Mr. Frederick Chamber lain (Lune, 108.),
It is not written by me at all" Mr. Chamberlin exclaims, but is by the greatest woman who has ever lived and become, prominent."
The peculiar flavour of her utternners, their driving force, their incisiveness, their complete difference from those of anybody else, in history, struck me like a fresh wind on a hot, still day, and I began to catalogue them. Elizabeth's quality and her policy are plain in two sayings that follow. The Spaniards and Germans were stirring up trouble in Scotland. She then 27.
While I have a drop of blood in my hody I shall not cease to seek revenge on the King of Spain and to settic with the Germans.

To the Swedish Ambassador, who was threatening her of the dangers ahead if she did not marrf his master:
I have the heart of a man, not a woman, and I am not afraid of any-"| thing.
To Burghley, her chief Minister, when he was C and she 4;
I have been strong enough to lift you out of the dirt, and I am still able to cast you down again.
To a delegation of eighteen tailors:
Good morning, gentlemen, both. To de Silva, the Spanish Ambassador, who had told her that the Pope had a very exaltedilen of her ability:
I think he and I should get married!

I wish to confess to you, and tell you my seeret, which is that I am no'angel, and do not deny that I have some affection for Lord Robert [Leycester] for the many good qualities possesses: but I certainly have never decided to marry him, nor anyone else.

The" Sayings," "as they rulate to her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, nựe of particular interest:
Regarding the trial and condemnation. of Mary on the charge of plotting Eliza- beth's assassination, the Queen declared "If Elizabeth is to live diary must die.)

UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA
FOR
RESIDENCE, FARMING, TRAVEL.
The Union of South Africa is of interest to Europeans in the Far East. If they are retiring on pension, there are many pleasant South African towns in which to live. If they seek career, and have a moderate capital, there is scope in South Africa for planters and farmers. And for those in need of a holiday, the country is famed as a travel and health resort: The climate is equable. It is sunny but temperate, being neither so inclement in winter as time of Northern Europe, nor so enervating in summer as that of the East. It is ⚫ genial, wholesome climate in which Europeans thrive.
The rougher work in South Africa is done by coloured labourers and domestics. Educational facilities are good, the young can now take their University degrees in South Africa. The larger towns are modernly equipped, and many of the smaller ones are very congenial residentially. There are numerous resorts moun- tain, river and marine, for an occa- it?)sional change. Sport is plentiful. The cost of living and income tax- ation compare favourably with those elsewhere.
