Britons Are Encouraged.

London, Nov. 2l.-The passing Of
another week without any material
change in the status of the beleagured
British forces at Ladysmith is respon-
sble for a much more hopeful feeling
in Great Britain regarding the fate Of
General Whites men. On all sides the
opinion is now expressed that they
will be able to withstand attack until
relief arrives.
The diversions of Boer units from
Ladysmith toward Estcourt cannot, it
is claimed. be taken as any indication
that the Beers have given up hope OF
capturing Iadysmith. Many signs poinr
TO the quick relief OF Kimberley or the
defeat of the British attempt to. achieve
it, and it has apparently been decided
that Mafeking must take its chances.
The latest news from the seat OF
war IN South Africa is, from one view
point favorable to the British. showing
that Kimberley is able to hold its own
easily against the Boer bombardment,
and that Estcourt is also in position
to beat back an attack by the Boer
force now facing it. But on the other
hand the advices pay testimony to the
ceaseless activity of the burghers on
the Free State frontier. and their de-
termination to cut off relief for Lady
smith. and, il possible to isolate or
capture Estcourt, which is the nearest
town to Ladysmith still held by the
British.
Some small Boer commanders from
the east ard west are converging on
Estcourt and the railroad just south of
that place. They already aggregate at
least twenty thousand, with few
guns, which from the intrenchments
they are throwing up, they evidently
mean to mount on hills dominating
any advance north of Estcourt.
Even with the strong relief column
now hurrying up from Durham the
British will have "A hard job to pierce
the Bocr forces thrown across the roads
to Ladysmith. while crossing the Tuge
River on pontoon bridges in the face
of the Boer artillery and rifle fires from
the northern ridges commanding the
river will probably prove one of the
stiffest enterprises of the war.
Much criticism has been expended on
the apparent lack of a proper recon-
noisance by cavalry in connection with
the armored train disaster near Est
court. This fact. it is asserted, goes
to prove that the reinforcements, es-
pecially of cavalry, although landed at
IurDIn. nave not yet arrived at ESt-
court 1t is believed the transport diff
ficulties may be greater than generally
imagined. in which case the relief of
Ladysmith may be delayed. The cen
sorship in such matters is very strict.
The Admiralty has quietly bought ten
thousand suits and equipments for the
men Of the Naval Reserve. Though
these men are scarcely likely to be'uscd
in the immediate future. the purchase
is one more indication of what thorough
preparations Great Britain is making
for any eventualities. a correspondent
with the British Channel squadron
says the crews are practically under
war discipline.

Filipino Army Scattered.

Washington Nov. 21.-With the ma
tive army scattered and Aguinaldos
secretary of the interior and private
secretary and Il large amount of his
munitions of war in the hands of the
American troops. and with good wealth
er in prospect, it Is evident to the au-
thorities that Am.rican arms are we'll
on the road to the suppression of the
Filipino insurrection.
General Otis reported in a despatch
received here that 1t would appear that
the main Filipino force had been driv-
en- northwestward off the road to Ba-
-*ombong, and IL Is understood here
that General Wheaton will try to drive
it back where it can be crushed by Gen.
Lawton's troops.
The rapidity with which General
Lawton has been moving is matter Of
considerab BILE satisfaction to the author
tiles. His cavalry has occupied Agui-
naldo's old capita! of Bayambang, on
the railroad line connecting Manila and
Dagupan, and General MacArthur'S ad-
vance force has reached Panique, ten
miles south of Bayambang.
1t is apparent to the authorities that
General Lawton is making a determine
ed effort to destroy the natives report
ed as occupying Pozorrubio. General
Young and Major balance are at Asin-
gan and Rosales respectively, and the
latter is expected to move on Urdaneta,
where Filipino troops are reported. 1t
Is expected that General Wheaton will
also bring some OF his troops into ac-
ton against Pozorrubio. and the au
thorities are hopeful that the move
ment will result in complete success.

Will Teach the Chinese.

Clemmons, sister of Mrs. Howard
Gould, has decided to devote her life
to teaching the doctrines of the Catho-
lie Church to the Chinese. and as, soon
as she can find a house in Chinatown
she intends to open Catholic mis-
sion at her own expense. She became
a convert to the Catholic faith less
than two years ago. There is no Catho-
lie Chinese mission in this city. and the
idea of founding one seemed tn the
young women the right thing for her
to do. So she began the study of the
Chinese language.

IT'S ALL IN THE EYELIDs.

There are no expressive eyes. The expression of the eye is really in the lid. ! The eye itself, independent of its sur roundings. has no more expression than has a glass marble. A prominent Eng fish oculist makes this daring state ment, and he defends his position with emphasis. "The eyes have no express sion whatever" he says. How do you explain the fact that the eyes of one person are more expressive than those of another?' I am asked. They are not. The difference consists in certain ner- vous contractions Of the lids peculiar to the individual.
 Observe for yourself, and you will see that I am right. We will say that am greatly interested in something, and my attention is suddenly called from it by an unexpected interruption. ' My upper eyelid raises itself just a lit ! tie, but the eye proper does not change an iota in appearance If the interrup- | ton is but momentary the elevation of the lid may be but momentary. If the surprise caused by an interruption is continued the lid may be raised even a l little more. and, in fact the whole of the forehead, including the eyebrows, is raised and wrinkled. But the eye re-
 mains the same.
 When a person is excited much the same emotions are gone through" con- 1 tinued the doctor. His eyes are open wide, in cases of intense excitement to | their greatest extent, but the forehead i is not wrinkled and the bali of the eye is as expressive as bit Of glass. No more.
 'Observe the face of one who laughs.
 You will see that the lower eyelid has
 no muscle of it's own, and it is only 1 by contraction Of the adjacent muscles in smiling or laughing that it is made to move. That is why there are many wrinkles about the eyes of merry per ! sons.
 "The expression of deep thoughtful ness is produced by the dropping of the | upper lid; the lids of some persons fall 1 so low that the pupil of the eye itself l is the same. If the meditation is over a subject that worries the thinker the 1 expression is again quite different; the | eyelids contract and the eyebrows are i lowered and drawn together. This is i true of a reflective mood.
 1 As to emotional moods, there is the expression of anger, for instance. The 1 eyes, instead of closing, are open wider than they are normally, but the brows are closely knit.
 Tn expressing sadness the entire up- per eyelid comes half way down and the folds of the skin collect there, giv- ing the lid thick, .heavy appearance" Cleveland Plain Dealer.
