Twenty Eight Soldiers KILLED and as
Many Wounded-The Munnh OF Po-
windnh Believed to BE Responsible
for the Attack on the Britons.
Bombay, June ia dispatch receiv-
ed here from Simla, the residence of
the Indian government officials during
the heated periods of the year, an
nouuces serious trouble on the north
ern frontier and the massacre Of a
number of British officers and native
soldiers n the government employ.
From the particulars obtainable at
present it seems that two guns belong
ing to a Bombay mounted battery, es-
corted by 800 men belonging to the
First regiment Of Sikhs and to the
First Punjab infautry. were treacher-
ously attacked in the Tochi valley by
a large force of hostile natives The
first report said that Colonel Bunny,
two officers and 25 privates had been
killed and that three officers and 25
men had been wounded In addition
numbers Of mules and horses are re-
ported killed.
Indications are that the affair is
more than a mere conflict with war
Rlullah of Powindah is at the bottom of
the trouble. The latest advices are
that a political officer, Mr. McGee, was
visiting Shirani with an escort of troops
when he was attacked at Maza by
vastly superior forces. The British
troops were compelled to retreat, and
were followed for several miles By
overwhelming numbers of the enemy.
g. i.
British officers were severely wounded.
Captain Browne, of the First Sikhs, a
son Of the late Sir James Browne and
Lieutenant Crookshank, of the Royal
Artillery, were killed, and Surgeon
Higgington, of the First Sikhs, and
Lieutenant Seaton-Browne, of the Pun
jab infantry, were wounded.
The second dispatch does not men
tion the death of Colonel Bunny, but
from the fact that it says that Colonel
Gray, from Miranshah, has taken over
the command of the British force en-
gagged it is inferred that Colonel Bunny
is also among the dead, as at first an
nounced.
Tochi valley lies north of Gumal and
on the road 60 Ghuzni and Waziristan
1t has been controlled by the British
since the delimitaton of the Indo-
Afghan frontier, but the tribes there
have always been turbulent, and anX-
iety is felt lest the other tribes rise
| against the British.
The Muuah of Powindah is wei
known to the British Indian author
tiles. He is a notorious fanatical priest
/ and has always been hostile to British
| influence. Owing to an attempt which
the mullah recently made to stir up q
rebellion he was expelled from British
| territory. This caused him to be de-
serted by his own people and he has
since lived in Afghanistan, and is un-
derstood to have been actively plotting
against the British. He took part in
the attack upon the British camp al

THE RAGE OF PLAlDS.
They Appear Both in silks and W woois
and Are Most Popular.

Plaids in both silks and woods form
entire gowns, blouses, mantles. etc,
either alone or combined with plain
goods. A model gown just exhibited
is built of plaid silk, showing orange
and reddish-brown stripes on n ground
of olive green, and is made with plain
skirt and redingote coat over blouse
of ecru lace. The sides of the redingote
fit close to the figure and are finished
without revers, the blouse overlapping
them with a jabot Of lace and loops
OF orange ribbon. Orange velvet makes
the belt of the blouse and faces the coat
collar.
Some of the plaid taffetas are ex-
tremely pretty. and are preferably used
for autumn blouses. The model of a
blouse bodice is of Scotch plaid taffeta,
but might equally well be made of wool
goods. The front is OF one piece, and
Is enhanced with three vertical tucks
at equal distances apart between neck
and waist line. Ii is closed under the
left arm; the blouse has rippled
basque. The back is of one piece and
has similar tueks and enters into the
skirt. The bias sleeves are cut Of one
piece and wrinkled at the elbow; the
upper part is draped. A standing plaid
collar. outlined with narrow white lace.
Crushed belt of black satin, closed by a
buckle.
A handsome mantle of Scotch tartan
with red ground is trimmed with red
cloth and fringe to match the tartan.
The body is composed of a Hat front,
and of back of single piece, with
basque attached TO the waist. buttoning
on each side upon the sleeves. These
simulate the pelerine; they are mount
ed with amplitude under cloth re-
yers, garnished with fringe. Cut-out
collar of the same cloth, garnished with
fringe, ending on each side at the cut
out. Buttoned cloth straps close the
front of the garment.
Great efforts are made to revive the
redingote again, but il is doubtful
whether il win be received universally.
1t is n very difficult auxiliary garment.

Humor Is the very sunshine Of the

The woman with sense OF humor
has a safeguard against ennui. against
folly and against despair. She can
never be dull so long as the comedy of
life is being played before her eyes:
with keen sense OF the ridiculous she
is not likely TO make fool of herself"
and she will never be hopelessly un-
happy. for she will find in the most
adverse fate something still TO laugh
at, and after all laughter is your true
alehemist. However ii may be with
the unmusical person, surely the surly
individual who cannot laugh spontane-
ously on occasions is 'fit for treasons,
stratagems and spoils."
But this blessed gift Of humor should
be used 10 lift the shadows Of life. not 10
deepen them. \ joke which causes an
other a pang of humiliation or makes
some sensitive heart ache is not only
cruel sort of amusement. but il is also
very expensive indulgence. For just
moments qualification at having
made "hit" the funny woman" may
forever lose friend, and may even
arouse a very genuine spirit of enmity.
We learn to forgive. and mayhap for
get, many injuries in life's troubled
journey, but perhaps among the
wounds that rankle longest in the hui
