a new position in splendid form, and
was in action at the front in a mo-

The Thirteenth Ordered Up.
$50 effective was the apparent re-
suit of this close-range firing that the
Thirteenth battery was at once or
dcred up, and after two rounds from
each battery, perfect silence relgned
over the enemy's front, broken only
by the whirring of the Maxims, served
by the Dublin fusiliers, who had Sc
cured an excellent position to the
right. During momentary cessation
the Beers had taken upa position on a
hill to the right of the road leading
to Maima cOlliery, but the Thirteenth
battery soon opened fire on them and
compelled them to retire.
From Dundee to TaIanR Hill.
Meanwhile the two infantry battal-
ions continued to climb the hill, and at
1870 p. M, after eight hours of des-
perate fighting, the position was car
ried, the Beers having precipitately
evacuated the hill. Thus, what bad
commenced with a battle at DonGee,
ended in a glorious victory for British
arms at what must be known as the
battle of Talana HILL

GUNSAULUS' ANCIENT HORSE.
An Equine Purchase of the ChicaHO
Divine in His Youth Which Dis
Eusted His Father.

Once Hpon a time Rev. Frank Gunsaulus,
the popular preacher, was a poor circuit
rider. He travelled from town to town, lift.
ed over the roads in farm wagons and board;
ed round at the houses of the deacons, anc
returning occasionally to his fathers old
farm to spend few days. His father, SO
the story goes, was rough old chap of the
uncut diamond sort, with a VocabulaS
more expressive than elegant.
Well, at one time young Gunsaulus founA
himself in possession of enough money to
buy horse. He thought it would be BETTE
to ride his own animal around the circuit
than to borrow transportation. 1t was q
sorry-looking steed this, but it answered
the purpose, and, what was more to the
point, it was cheap. So after he had bought
it he rode it home. His father was in the
barnyard when he came in and he looked
critically at the animal.
.'Where did We git that hoss, Frank?" he
asked.
81 bought him cheap, father" said the
young preacher
He's a sorry-ookin' critter, 1 must say"
said the father.
''WelI, father" said Frank, ''you remem-
Der that our Saviour rode into Jerusalem on
a worse looking animal than this"
And the old man looked at the hose again
and said:
burned if I don't think it's the same

New Haven, c., November 90 The
address Of Gov. Roosevelt Of New York

WHY WOMEN ARE NERVOUS.
british Medicdl News.l

The frequent cases Of nervous prostra-
tom under which women "go all TO
pieces, q" as the saying is. have caused
much thought and Investigation on the
part of physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are well
known to cause various forms OF nervous
diseases which are readily traced to the
poisons producing them. Further re-
search leads to the belief that alum Is q
prevailing cause of so.cslled nervous pros
tration, for the synpto ms it produces on
tre nervous sy STAN after Its absorption
into the blood are very remarkable in
deed. Experiments ply ysiologically made
upon animals by Professors Hans Mayer.
Paul Ssim and others show that alum
frequently produces no v,sible symptoms
for many days after its Introduction into
the body. Then follow loss Of appetite
and other aliinentary disturbances and
finally Q serious prostration Of the whole
nervous system. The most prominent
physicians pow believe that "neryons
prostratlon" and many affections OF the
nerves from which both men and women
suifsr are caused by the continued aesorp-
ton OF alum into tbs system.
1t Is probable N It many medical men
are unaware OF the extent to which sa Its
Of alumina may be introduced into the
body, being under the impression thNt
ths use OF alum in brS al is prohibited.
Alum, however, II still used surreptitious-
ly TO some extent to whitsn bread, and
very largely in making cheap kinds q
baking rowder In families where bak-
ing powder is generally used great care
should be exercised to procure only those
brands made from cream Of tartar. The
alum powders may generally be distin-
guished BY ths lower price at which they
are sold.
