milk, and potatoes. Pork and veal should
not be eaten, though a little ham is occa-
sionally allowable. Pastry and all farinace
Gus articles are to be looked at, and not eaten.
Ice cream must be passed by. A broad rule
about vegetables Is to confine ones self to
those that are green, except peas, which are
very fattening. Eggs and all sorts of fish
except salmon may be eaten. Coffee is said
to be fattening, especially when milk and
sugar are added. Morning and night the
true disciple of Banting should drink the
juice of lemon. With the loss Of the first
few pound of flesh he will be alarmed and
surprised at finding himself growing sud-
denly weak, almost to the point of fainting.
This feeling is due to depriving the system
of the food to which it has been accustomed,
and VIII wear off as the ''obesity cure'' is
preserved in, as viii also the haggardness OF
the face; but this latter will not occur until
one has dieted for two or three years. There
are few people who are capable of self-denial
for so long period; the worst Of the system
is that unless fasting is most stnbbornly ad
hered to, one feshes up Immediately. Ii,
for instance, after long abstinence, the stom-
ach becomes a bowling wilderness; if, as in
''Blade o. Grass's'' case, there seems to be a
tiger there ravenous for food, and the pa
tent yields and partakes of one, aye, but
one, good, square meal, the lost pounds of
flesh Immediately gallop back upon the
bones, as if waited back by a single wave OF
| a magician's wand. Eternal abstinence is
the only price of leanness.

Before The Battle.
London Standard.

Our fires were kept up all night, and gave
wild and picturesque appearance to the en-
campment. There were long lines of men
sleeping as they were to march in the morn
ing, while many gathered round the fire and
smoked their pipes, and discussed the com
ing fight. Mingling with them, and listen
ing to their conversation, found that the
men fully realized the rush with which their
wild foes were likely to attack them, and
thoroughly understood the necessity for
meeting it with steadiness. Toward morn
ing the rain fell heavily for time, complete
ly soaking US as we lay. Every one was glad
when the reveille sounded, the fires were
piled higher again, and the men tried as best
they could to dry themselves. Breakfast was
eaten, and at s O'Clock the force stood in
their ranks in order-silent and ready to
move forward. The first move was a short
one, as they only advanced few hundred
yards from the spot where they had bivouacked
into fresh gro und free from litter and fires.
Here they halted. A brief inspection showed
that all was in order, distances were taken
up more accurately, and the advance toward
Teb began in earnest.

In the Midst of the Fray.
London Standard.

So hotly do the Arabs press forward that
the troops pause in their steady advance. II
becomes hand-to-hand fight. the soldiers
meeting the Arab spear with cold steel, their
favorite weapon, and beating them at it.
There is not much shouting, and only a
short, sharp exclamation, brief shout, OF
an oath as the soldiers engage with theil
foes, At this critical moment, for the enc
my are rushing up thickly, the Gardner guns
open fire, and their leaden hail soon decides
the matter. AT this instant, Admiral He
welt VINO, with Mr.. Levison, his private sec
rotary, is present as spectator, joins the
Naval Brigade and leads them on over the
dead bodies of the Arabs, lying thickly
strewn on their front, into the work, which
proves to be but bank of sand. Colonel
Burnaby here has his horse shot under him
and bullet passes through his arm. Still
with the double-barrelled fowling-plece he
carries he knocks over the Arabs who assail
him. But they press on, and he is only saved
from being speared by one of the of the Cor
don Highlanders bayoneting an Arab who
attacks him when both barrels of his gun are
empty. Several fierce personal encounters
take place as the troops rush into the entire
nchments. The first feeling of nervousness
has passed away, their blood is up now, and
the enthusiasm of battle is upon them. More
and more shrill the pipes sllirl out, and the
men are eager to close with the foe. AS sim
gle Arabs run down the brave soldiers steps
singly forward from the ranks and meet,
bayonet to spear, in almost every instance
vanquisMng them by the bayonet alone,
without firing. A soldier who had single
handed engaged two of the enemy would
have got the worst of it had not Captain Will
son, of the Hecla, come to his aid and run
one of his assailants through the body, break
ing his own sword and receiving wound
across the face as he did SO. Sharp as the
fight is, it lasts but minute or two after the
troops have passed over the sand bank. The
work contains one Krupp gun, which, of
course, falls into our hands. The bush
grows thickly all about where we are now
formed up, and numbers of the enemy are
lying concealed in it. These constantly leap
to their feet and rush at US, singly or by twos
and threes, with fanatical valor, often COM
ing on till they fall dead almost at the muz-
zles of the rifles. During the halt the cavan
ry have moved round behind us, and we cas-
now see them advancing toward large mas
of the enemy, who are making off in the dis
lance. They are manifestly quickeninir
their pace. Faster and faster they go; they
sabres are flashing in the sunlight, and thgl
dash into the mass of the enemy. Right
through them they cut their way, and then
turn sharp back again. The Arabs do not
fly, but stand and fight stubbornly and gall
emily, displaying as much courage as against
the infantry. Again and again they are dis
persed, but each time they gather together
as the horsemen come on; and the cavalry,
although cutting down many, go by no
means scathless through them.

Strokes of lightning in France.
London Times.

NJ. Cookery the French Minister of Posts,
and Telegraphes, has communicated to the
French Academy of Sciences an elaborate
report on the strokes of lightning which were
observed in France during the first half OF
last year-that is, from the beginning of
January to the end of June. The report is
the first of its kind, and is due to resolu-
ton of the international conference on elect
rical units, held at Paris in 1882, expressing
wish that an international system of OBJ
servation on lightning strokes should be Or
ganized, each country collecting its own
data. M. Cookery framed list of questions
which were distributed to all the Postmasters
in the various departments, and such agents
of railroads. companies and other as were
willing to assist in the work. The question
embraced the nature of the stroke, damage
to life and property, and general descrip-
ton of the conditions and effects.
The result is the interesting document
presented to the Academy from which it ap-
pears that in January there was one stroke
injuring a man who CARED an open umbrel-
la with metal ribs. IL February there were
no strokes at all. In March there were four
strokes damaging unprotected building and
high oak tree. In April there were also
four strokes, injuring several persons, some
poplar trees, weathercock, bell tower, and
an isolated building. In May there were
twenty-eight strokes, killing two men, seven
cattle, three horses, and fnjuring several
persons and two horses, as well as numer-
Gus trees and houses. The trees were oaks,
chestnuts, poplars, and several of the strokes
attacked the chimnevs of the houses, 1t is
notable that gilt wooden figure of Christ in
front of the church of Bonsecours Seine
Inferieure) was struck, although the church
has a lightning rod on it.
During the month of June the total num-
Der of strokes largely increased there being
no less than 113, or from three to four day.
The daily number varied during the month,
but was, if anything larger at the end than
at the beginning of the month. Seven men
were killed; about 40 persons, men, women,
and children, were injured. Some 20 ami
mails were killed, including so sheep and
dog. Many trees-oaks, poplars, elms, frs,
were struck. A common object struck is
the bell of some church the chimney of some
house, or the weathercock of barn. Some
of the strokes observed were received by the
lightning rods of buildings, and did no dam
age, except perhaps fusing the point of the
rod On the other hand, several serious ac
cidents to buildings, and in one case death
to a horse, occurred within comparatively
short distance of a lightning rod (from so to
so metres). Isolated trees and animals IN
der them appeared to have suffered most.
Rain and hail accompanied the storms.

The Prisoners.
London Daily News. |

l visited the prisoners and heard their
story through Major Mcdonald, who exam
ined them. One of them confirmed the
story brought into Trinkitat and Suakim late
ly about the negotiations between the rebels
and the Tokar garrison, but did not say that
the whole had gone over to the Mahdi party.
He said that the Sheikh Kadra, commanding
the rebels near Tokar, had sent to Osman
Digma for reinforcements against Baker;
that Osman was only able to send 1000, of
whom the narrator was one, native of Sua-
kim. He well knew the difference between
Englishmen and Egyptians, and said his
ccuntrymen had no quarrel with the British.
eve have no enmity against you, and don't
wish to war upon you," said the other.
''Why arc you herel'' was the sharp, some
what ferocious retort. Asked what the origi-
nal grounds of the rebellion were, several
prisoners replied, the injustice, Indifference,
and often cruelty of the Egyptian govern
ment, with which they would forever refuse
to come to terms, and of which they spoke in
terms of indignation and contempt. The
whole of this part of the interview clearly
tended to the conclusion that the rebellion
began in missule, and was next developed by
the religious chiefs. One of the number
gave out that Osman Digma would now sub
NIT. Never" protested another. All
through the conversation the prisoners appa-
renty were candid and straightforward.

after the Battle.
London Daily News.

Old soldiers to whom have spoken on the
spotsaid they never met moreresolutefoe in
the course of all their service. The scene of
the battlefield, which 1 again rode over on
Saturday, justified this description Of savage
valor. The wells of Ell Teb are protected by
two earthworks and semi-circular line of
entertainments, including the rife pits,
which had been dug wide and deep behind
every bush, and which each contained a
number of spearsmen. The entertainments
and pits were literally crammed with dead
bodies, many already half buried in the
sand. The object of the defenders was to
spring up suddenly on the advancing line,
and in the confusion caused by their sudden
appearance and rush, to break inside the
square. Had we advanced upon their front
they might have had some chance of more
or less partial success; but the Arabs, attack
ed in their rear, were themselves surprised.
Judging from what saw, / should think the
estimate of 1000 killed on the side of the
enemy rather under than over the mark.
The space inside the entertainments was
thickly strewn with bodies, especially about
the few ruined brick buildings. Near the
building which Colonel Burnaby helped clear
with his double barrelled rifle charged with
buckshot, l counted among a great heap of
bodies those of seven boys, not one of whom
was more than twelve. They fought as des-
perately even as the adults. Some time after
the battle. and when the troops Cwere search
ing about the Enclosure, youth lying unob-
served amongst crowd of dead and dying
started up, and rushed with a drawn knife Oh
two of our men, who, taken aback, ran for
some distance, and then, turning round,
shot him. The adventure caused a brief
commotion in the camp, for more might be
lurking unseen. At some distance outside
an Arab sprang like a cat upon the back of
one of our soldiers, and tried to cut his
throat. An officer rushing up pistolled the
Arab through the heart, barely in time to
save the soldiers life.
