Calcutta, March 9.-Despatches re-
ceived here from the locality where
columns are engaged in Furnishing the
Arbor tribesmen announce serious losses
sustained by the British. An additional
detachment OF 200 men left Sadiyah
yesterday to meet the British expedition
commanded by Capt. Maxwell which, for
some time, has been following up the re-
treating tribesmen. The Arbors, having
received reinforcements from tribes in
habiting that part of the eastern Hima-
layas, recently assumed the offensive,
according to native reports. Captain
Maxwell, being unable to reach Damron,
town he had for some time been en-
deavoring to capture, was forced to re-
treat, losing number of men killed and
wounded. He destroyed the fortified
camps he occupied during the forward
march of the expedition. These native
rep orts state that he is now in very Sc
rious position, almost surrounded by
rebellious tribesmen. Another dispat ch
received from Gehwatty, the chief town
of Ascam, announces still more serious
disaster to the British. A detached par
ty, composed of 80 rifles and four British
officers, had been operating as an escort
to train on its way to Bordax with
provisions and ammunition for the gar
rison at that town. The detachment
encountered no resistance until it was
far beyond reach of succor from the base
of operations. Then the tribesmen be-
gan to gather ahead of it and on its
fanks, keeping up calling fire which
eventually brought the troops to stand
still. They fortified their position, con-
structing defenses out of the wagons,
etc., which formed part Of the train. For
two dayssa continuous fight was kept up
day and night. Eventually the British
soldiers were surrounded by thousands
Of tribesmen and were killed to a man.

To pupils who possess great ambition,

in the way of practice. 1t most certain

Looking Ahead,

The cause OF many stumble and
many a mistake with the average pupil
will be found in lack Of the faculty
of looking and thinking ahead In piano
playing as well as in any other phase Of
life, The Etude says, it is essential to
provide for the future. IF the passage
you are playing is simple, send your
thoughts on to the next and be prepared
for it, If one phrase or figure is ended,
and you have short rest, do not let
your hand stay where it last played;
neither let it go to sleep in your lap,
but place it where it will be wanted
next. If this lack of preparation is very
marked in any one, the following exer
else will help to correct the fault. Take
any common jumping bass and get the
hand ready for-not on-the first note.
Then, thinking of the second note, play
the first and Immediately place the hand
over-not on-the second. Then, think
ing of the third note, play the second
and Immediately place the hand over
not on-the third, and SO forth.
Let this also be done with the right
hand, and few minutes practice of
this daily will soon have the desired re-
suit. In making skips, where there is
no spare time available for preparation,
useful exercise will be found to take
the two notes between which the skip
occurs and treat them in the way have
described, making the transit of the
hand over the distance as rapid as pos
sible. Instance, Czerny's first ''Veloci. !

rateness, and the windows of the stores
which make feature of fine hand work
are filled with most tempting displays
OF drawn work and lovely embroiderles.
Beautiful as these imported works
are, they are not the only ones we find
here, for we have many good workers
in this country. We would doubtless
have more if this drawn work could be
more easily and quickly executed. The
trouble too often is that the beginner
starts out with too elaborate q pattern
and without any previous experience.
The better plan is to begin with sim
pie design and gradually work up to an
elaborate and beautiful pattern such as
that shown in a dolly recently illus
trated by The Art Interchange, which
also furnished these simple rules for

1t is best first to decide what we wish
our work to adorn, whether carving

For any or all of these articles we should
choose linen of smooth texture, not
too fine, and one in which the threads
will pull easily.
For doilies select very fine linen or
linen cambria lawn. The latter quality
of linen generally yields it's threads cas-
lily and need not be shrunk Take a
piece of very dry white soap, rub it
carefully over the line of threads you
wish to remove, and you will find the
labor greatly lightened. The most tedi-

A NURSERY FRIEZE.

80 much of the life of child is spent
and where so many seeds are sown that
bear prolific fruit in due season. Now,
however, thanks to the enterprise of the
house decorator, the fitting out of nurs-
cry is easily accomplished. The very
rich, of course, may go to swell decora-
tor to give him carte blanche to decorate
the children's apartment, but in most
homes the potent question Of expenses
must be considered. For these homes
where nurseries are needed, but where
frescoed walls and expensive pictures
are out of the question, the wall paper
manufacturers have come to the fore.
As related in the New York Herald, the
modern nursery wall papers are artistic
in drawing ard color, educational and
fascinating even to older eyes than they
were intended for. The cost is so cheap
and the varieties SO great that there ex-
lists hardly any excuse for bare walled
nursery.
A very pretty design is the one called
the "pussy willow and is designed
for nursery where children of varying
ages are destined to spend much of their
time. The larger pattern relieves that
tiresome repetition of figures that grows
monotonous even to childish percep-
tions. In ali up town house where this
furnishes the wall covering it has been
vanished and resists the impulse of lit
tie finger nails to pull and tear in a
spirit of curiosity to discover what lies
hidden beneath and at the same time
gives a surface from which dust and
dirty thumb marks may be readily
sponged. 1t costs little extra to var
nish, but in the wear of the paper, in
cleanliness and healthfulness the added
expense is more than repaid. Pastoral
scenes are favorite designs for nursery
wall papers. The patterns in large de-
signs show housewife men and WON
