Fighting the Mohmunds.

S"S
Private Lever of the Bluffs tells two
characteristics of the fight in which he
was hit when General Jeffrey, with
the mountain battery and escort, was
hemmed in q village all night by thou.
sands Of Mohmunds. The wounded were
lying under a wall exposed to torrents
Of rain aud to showers Of stones which
the enemy hurled down at them from
houses near. 1t seemed impossible that
any relieving force could come to their
aid before daybreak or that tho mere
handful of Bluffs could hold out much
longer. Their ammunition was running
short. Then Lever heard one wounded
officer ask another, "How many shots
have you got in your revolver?' "Only
two" ''Then don't waste them. old
chap; keep one for me, the other for
yourself"
When ammunition was so nearly ex-
hausted that no orders were given to
fire until the enemy could DO distinctly
seen, a sudden rattle Of irregular fire
was heard OH M side Of the village,
followed by savage yells, but no other
sound. The few Bluffs holding q post in
that direction stood with rifles levelod
ready to fire volleys directly q rush was
attempted. The commotion came near.
CT, and just as the noncommissioned Of.
fioer in charge Of that post had the
command to present on his lips the
flame from a native gun flashed on
bristling steel. British ~bayonets had
been doing their grim work there in the
darkness so silently that nobody thought
friends were so neal The relief had
come. The enemy gave way, and n min
ute later Major Worlledge, with his
companies of Sikhs and guides, entered
the village.-London News.

Nutriments In Malt Liquors.
Wines and malt liquors, while con.
tanning . far less amount Of alcohol
than the distilled liquors, do contain a
definite amount Of nutritiye material.
Perhaps the best definition Of beer as
brewed today is that Of a fermonted
saccharine infusion to which has been
added q wholesome bitter. It consists Of
water, alcohol, carbonio and acetic acids
and bitter principles from the hop. Ac.
oording to Professor Atwater's investi.
cations, "ale, beer and wine contain
small quantities of nutritive material 10
addition to their alcohol and other COIL
,stituents. That of wine consists mainly
OF compounds akin to carbohydrates
and averages q trife over 8 per cent Of
the whole weight. That Of ale and beer
includes. on the average, a little over
one-half of l per cent Of protein and
other heterogeneous compounds and 6 or
2 per cent Of carbohydrates and allied
substances. A pint (pound) Of ale or
beer would contain, roughly speaking,
about as much Of these nutritive sub
stances as l is ounces Of bread, and Q
pint Of wine about as much az three
quarters Of an ounce Of bread. "-Out-
look.
Old Roman Women.
Among the Roman women at one
period there was q morbid ambition to
grow boards. and they used to shave
their faces and smear them with I'M
guents to produce these inappropriate
a%ppendages. Cicero tells us that at one
time to such an extent did the mania
for boards grow upon women that it
was found desirable to pass Q law
against the adjournment"
