The Anglo-American League has is sued a report of its first year's work , in which it is noted that "there are indications in the United States of the continued growth of friendly feel ings toward the old country , and of a belief that the true interests of both nations are Identical , so that the more cordial their friendship becomes the better will it be for the political and commercial welfare of both. How widely similar feelings prevail in this country , and how sincerely they are held , every one In Britain knows.

" It means an unforcstcd 01' thinly forested tract of land , what cowboys would call a "grass country. " The higher tracts , entirely destitute of timber , arc. called the high vcldtj areas thinly covered with pcrub or bush are called the bush-veldt. The great veldt of the Transvaal Is the llooge of the Drnkcn- bcrg range , whose edge attains a height at the summit named Maud ) of 8.7U5 feet. Mafeking , whore Hadcn-Powoll Is now fighting for life and Kngllsh vic tory , Is In the heart ot a veldt "upon which , " writes a traveler , "there rests the silence of horror ; where there Is always the desolation of drought and excessive heat. " A brief season of the year comes when this is not so ; when dry torrent beds 1111 and brief rains fall. Wild ilowers blossom , the grasses turn from brown to green , the native birds chirrup shrilly aa they Iluttcr from bush to bush. Then the veldt Is a color picture , a plaque of nature , upon which the eye bottles for rest. So brief arc these periods , though , that nien forget them and rdmcmber but the terror of the parched veldt when the clouds come no more , and the wind is scorching at midnight , or raw and cold , and the mirage of water dances before the cra/ed eyes of the beasts. There is a saying of the Arabs that "the boll Is like fire and the wind like a flame. " Thus It seems to the unwary traveler caught upon the veldt wlth-i out water and no hope but to fight for life and gain the too distant raugcsj In January the average temperature at Durban is 74 ; in Huly C2 ; at 1'letcr- marltzburg the January average tem perature Is 71 and 55 In July ; at SwelN cndam tlip January temperature Is 72 and the July 50. On the veldt the tom- < pcrature rises in December and Janu ary to 100 , 105 and 108 ; In July It falls to S5 , 90 and 05. So the English ob servers have determined. The greater ( lie heat the less water is there to be found. Streams that were gorging In June and July arc empty In January and February. The soli cracks with the baking it receives. The short grasses lose all vitality and pass away into powder. Windstorms sweep over the plain , and coneoal the trails. Duststorms form and swallow up men and animals. These duststorms start unon ammrently the same scIonUllc basis as do the western cyclones They are at first but the size of the cocked hat of u clown , turning la/.ll > upon the level. As they pioceed thoj gain power and size. The traveler may bee one first as a thin spiral column reaching from the earth to. the sky It leaps fantastically from the ground and descends again. On the frlngo of Its edge there arc faint electric sparks. When at full strength It descends upon humans with blinding force , , filling tin mouth , nostrils and ears , choking the throat , oppressing with frightful heat. The whirlwind Is gone almost as quick as it came. Son\etlmcs there Is death In Its wake , sometimes only a few be numbed , dirty people. The veldt is not uninhabited , foi Africa Is the home of more than 1,000 different kinds of Insects. The ant de stroys everything in the shape of wood leather or cloth. It will attack dis abled men or beasts , swarm upon them and leave them picked to the bone. A lly exists which fatally stings the horses and cuttle , and there are creep ing things of hideous shape and more hideous feeling when upon the person. Only the Hottentot beam their attacks with equanimity. He calls the Veldt "karroos , " which means dry or arid. He it is , too , who pushes back the bandy soil and finds beneath the germs of life that shall glrc fruit when the rains return. This soil Is pervaded with the roots and fibers of various plants , which under ( he Influence of water give forth the most gorgeous flowers , yielding the odors of Arabia. Then come the antelope , the zebra , the quaggas , the gnus , In countless herds , and after them those who seek thorn for prey the lion , hyena , panther and leopard. Animal life Is visible every where for a short period , and then the brat returns , the death within life , the .lust and the silence. From September to April the winds blow from the southeast , and are cold and dry. From May to September the northwest wind prevails. A hiirprl'inl Cut. Several days ago , snys the Philadel phia Times , live or six sparrows were ice-king awuy in the gutter Immediate ly Ii > front of an engine house whoa a cat crept across the street and pounced upon one of them. Instantly the victim's companions sent up a wat ery , which was as Instantly answered. From housetop and lice , the sparrows flocked to the scene. With whirring , hissing cries of noisy rage , they fear lessly attacked the offender. For about thirty seconds the dazed cat en dured the blows from per'hups a hun dred beaks and twice as many beating whips. Then , still holding her prey , she struggled way from the Infuriated birds and ran into the engine house. The plucky little fellows followed her Inside , hut foou gave up the chase , leaving her with her .deaily bought dinner , a sadder but a wiser cat. A MOTHER'S STOItY.
