Remnant of HE Forces Now Imprls-
oned at johannesburg.
A London dispatch says: The invading
English army in Transvaal has been dis
astrously defeated by the Beers. score
or more have been killed, many wounded,
and DR.. Jameson is prisoner at johann
nesburg. One Of the most impudent acts
of aggression ever committed even by
British arms has thus met with swift
retribution. The details are meager or
this inglorious finale of what was intend-
ed to be brilliant piece of bravado, which
success might justify but which failure
would make a crime. All that Is known
IL that the Government messengers, with
dispatches from London ordering DIR.
Jameson to retreat to the Chartered Com
pany's territory, reached DIR. jameson
Wednesday morning. He pocketcd the
Queens orders, told the messenger lacon-
ically that he would attend to them, gave
the command to his troops to saddle, and
marched, not on the back track, but on
toward johannesburg. At o'clock in the
afternoon he encountered the Beers ut
Krugersdorf, about thirty miles east OF
johannesburg. There was hard fighting
until shutdown, and the British troops suf-
fered severely. The famous markham
ship Of the Beers was no less deadly than
in their gallant defense against the same
enemy fifteen years, ago. Twenty men.
including three officers, were killed, ard
fifty prisoners were taken before Dr.
jameson surrendered. These meager
facts are all the information the Govern
ment vouchsafes.

velvet panels. This is repeated in
slightly modified form upon the sleeves,
while on the bodice the slashes show
velvet insertions without the cording.
The collar is Of brown velvet covered
with rich cream guipure, and is square
in back, but In front there Is tab that
extends to the waist. 1t Is In one with
the collar, which is finished with n
chiffon ruching.
One reason for the variety that now
rules in styles-that variety which was
alluded to ut the beginning of this de-
piction, and which these pictures illus
trate as well as five pictures could, Is
that there is tendency with Ameri-
can women to combine in their attire
the characteristics prevailing with all
other nations that have any influence
in the matter of fashions The English
run to severity and tail0r-mndes, even
their ball and gala gowns smacking of
the latter. The French woman is or
nate. even IL she is on wheel trip or
walking journey. The American wom-
an realizes that she must afford con-
trast and that therein will lie n special
attraction. So in the morning she is
as demurely simple as her own Puri-
tan ancestresses; for the afternoon and
on the street she is as tailor-made as
any English girl ever could be; at
night she is gloriously beruffied, as
much Of n butterfly as ever her French
sister dreamed; while after the ball,
In her loose, yet cIinging plush, veil
vet and fur garment of lounging rest,
she Is as al!uring as the Russian, and,
which is saying much, as comfortable.
In each stage she offers to the other
steps a contrast that is fascinating In
ITSELF and altogether she is the best
dressed woman the world over.

Sir John Lubbock, the naturalist, who
has done more to popularize the study
Of insect ways and habits than all the
other modern entomologists combined,

long the common ant would live, IL kept
out of harms way. On Aug. 8, 1888,
an ant which had been thus kept and
tenderly cared for died at the age Of

species of insect has yet been known to

American Embroidery Design.

OF the many styles that afford a gen.
erous amount and great variety of pref
ty designs for embroidery work the
colonial is one of the most attractive,
owing, in great measure, to its dainty
simplicity. The colonial style is one Of
distinctly American origin-a purely
American creation-and for that reason
is our own, and one which we take
pride in employing when decorating
and furnishing our homes. It was first
used in the architecture Of houses and
churches erected during the latter years
Of the last century and the early years
Of this, and was at the height of it's
great popularity during Washington's
which was known as
the colonial period. That the colonial
Is very popular style at this time is
shown by the general interest taken in
1t. 1t is much easier to find furniture,
draperies and wall papers In variety
of designs In the colonial than in any
other style.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Lake Emperor IL an Rxceedingly
Treachsrous Body OF Water.
The recent accident to the steamer
Missoula tends to show more clearly
than anything that occurred the vast
area Of Lake Superior. and the posi-.
bility Of vessels crew reaching land
after shipwreck and yet being unheard
OF for a couple Of weeks after starting
on voyage. The shores Of Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota on the big
lake are traversed by railways and
telegraph lines, and the towns and
small settlements on the American side
Of the lake. even to the islands, fur
nish ready means of communication
with the larger cities; but not SO on
that part Of the Canadian shore north
Of the lakes, where wilderness inhab-
tied by few fishermen and Indians
exists. This Is especially true of tho
Canadian shore just above Sault Ste..
Marie, and for long stretch of coun-
try to the north and east of the point
where the Canadian Pacific railway
turns In to the shore OF the lake and
traverses 1t on toward Port Arthur
and Fort William.
When the Missoula broke her shaft
and was rendered helpless she was less
than twenty-five miles from Caribou
island on the course down toward Sault
Ste. Marie. She was somewhat off the
regular course Of vessels bound down
from the head of Lake Superior, but
II she had been able to make any head
way toward the Sault, or care for her.

Ing, she would have been picked ND
very soon after the accident by some
passing vessel. But a southerly wind
drifted her out of the course of even
the few vessels trading to Canadian
ports at the head Of the lakes, and she
was working over toward the widest
part Of the Canadian north shore terri
tory when her crew was compelled to
abandon her.
A glance at the chart will show that
Brule point, where the crew of the Mis-
Nsoula first made land, is scarcely more
than seventy-five miles from Sault Ste.
Marie, where 100000 tons of freight
passes through canal in single sea-
son, and yet the men in one of the
Missoula's yawl boats spent nearly two
days working along the shore of the
lake before they found any more sign
or life than deserted flsherman's
shanty, in which they built fire and
dried their wet clothing. The fishing
season has closed, but even fishermen
are scarce in this territory during the
most active periods: 1t is not strange.

souia were nearly full week in find.

owners of the vessel after they had
