Her hair hung wayy round her head

And sang TO please a beer-soaked crowd.

And could not understand a word
Yet clear the lark's shrill notes | heard.
The clouds Of smoke dissolved away
The sun burst forth In glorious day;
The beers rank smell that filed the room

enemy's loss is computed az good 1000
THE most trying part OF the siege was
the inability to get sleep, as there were
only scarcely men 10 man the walls. and
the enemy could get so close under cover
that one had always to be on the qui
viYe. Indeed. / calculate that during the
seven days 1t lasted. few got more than
twelve hours sleep altogether. The con-
duct OF the men throughout was most
admirable; though hard-pressed. hard
worked and tired out with long watching
through the heat Of the day, and some-
times rain at night. they were always
CHEEKY, willing and fun Of spirit, and
could not want better companions on such
another occasion. l cannot conclude
without contributing a word OF praise to
the followers Of the garrison. Though
working hard at the defenses by day,
they took their part IN the fighting by
night being posted ar weak parts Of the
wall with stones and rocks, which they
heaved down on the enemy, whom they
often helped 70 drive OF.
1T must have been a matter OF surprise
why the tribesruen never attempted TO
destroy the Chakdara bridge: the reason
is said 20 be that they were confident OF
complete success: that they thought II
would be well 20 keep the bridge ia good
repair for subsequent use. Their over
wecniug confidence in the Mad Fakir is
amply testified by the undauBted way IN
which they rallied 10 the attack again

inflicted on them by the old smooth-bors

A man who resides on the East side

but it sounds fishy, His boy caught a
large sucker couple Of years ago, and
since that time he has been experiment.

fish, says the PunXsutawney Spirit, has
been kept out of the water so much that
it generally became accustomed TO it,
and frequently Topped out of the wa

Finally the boy placed it in a pen and
gradually reduced its bathing periods

Delicious Fig Pu1,linr.

Fig pudding is dish not to be de-
spised. There are several ways of
making it, but this one is about the
best. Mince very fine half pound of
suet and the same quantity of figs;
then mix with them half a pound of
finely grated bread crumbs, with lit
tie sugar and enough golden strip to
make nice paste. Butter a mold,
fill it with the mixture, and boil or
steam it for ~ hours. Then turn it
out and serve either plain or with
whipped cream or treacle sauce. The
latter is made by favoring little white
sauce with some lemon rind and a
spoonful of golden sirup. - Chicago
