The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-10-17

| LONDON, Oct. 16-Dispatches from the
cape are very meager tonight, but they
include an important message from Glen
| coe camp, dated $3.50 this (Monday) after
noon, announcing that the Boer COM
mandos which invaded Natal through
Laing's Mex and, after occupying New
castle. advanced to Damhauser, retired
on 1ntangane, yesterday evening, the
transport service being found defective.
| This will delay Indefinitely the looked
for and hopedfor assault upon the strong
British position of Glencoe.
A Free State commando threatening
Aliwalnorth, or the Natal frontier, is
advancing. 1t is believed the enemy In
tends shortly to try to rush the railway
station, with the help of artillery posted
on ridge commanding the town.
There are rumOrs that the Beers have
been repulsed at Mafeking, and are at
tacking Fryburg. A Cape Town paper
| has dispatch from the Orange river
stating that telegraph wires have been
| cut between Mafeking and Kimberley and
1t Is believed the Beers are taking ad-
vantage of a large gathering of disloyal
|
NAL, to attack the town, hoping that the
farmers will assist them against the
British. The same dispatch says the
British force at Kimberley is confident
| of its ability to hold out, but urges the
immediate dispatch of a relief force.
| Tfis question of a possible rising Of
dissatisfied farmers In the north Of Cape
Colony is very important. The Daily
Mails correspondent at Colesburg has
been inquiring regarding the matter, and,
on the whole, thinks the chances are
against rising. He bases his opinion on
| the prospect Of good ,rops, which he be-
| lieves will predispose the farmers TO
peace.
There is much disloyalty and dissats-
faction in this neighborhocd, while the

 He was young man of fashion, full of promises and tho small Of cigarette smoke. and he loved her with the en- tire purpose of his life.
 Perhaps that wasn't a great deal, be- cause he had too much money to have a great dsal of purpose, but what there was of it was all for her.
 And she didn't care a continental for him.
 He was neither of brilliant inteIli- gence nor of masterful mind, and his in2ne VapiGities bored her so that at last, in self Gsfense, shs firmly but re- spectfully declined to marry him.

over the round globes or the white shades of the e.ectric drop light. While lamp veils as such are on sale at the storas, there is no reason why they should not be manufactured at home of materials tC match the decor atiCns and furnishings of the room for which they are intended. Their very simplicity makes thsir manufacture most easy. The square ones are the prcttiest in effect when draped, as the globe CT flat shades are all round and the corners hang naturally in pretty cascadss.
 If a transparent silk Of a pretty all- over pattern is used, the edges are usu- ally left perfectly plain. Especially is this true when the beautiful gauzss and fine grenadines are used. as the designs are in all shades of the Tain- bow and are sufficient ornament with out any further trimmings. The pain shades, however, are edged with laces or fringes of a very thin and light character. Some of these veils are trimmed with the shirred ribbons and others with the lace ruff1es, but all are arranged to heighten the effect pro- d;ced. by the light shining through this transparent veil.
 No attempt is made to arrange these veils over frames. The elaborate character of the lamp shades is avoid ed, and the chief idea is simplicity, while the material used is selected be- cause Of it's artistic effect as a trans parency.
 On account of this very simplicity and the cheapness of the decoration it is very easy to produce varying effects by changing thi5 wells frequently.
 Their adaEtability to the lamp, elec- tric or gas fixtures is q great advantage also, and it takes away that stiffness which plain globe Of any kind sug- gssts. The delicate shade produces a pretty color effect, especially where a subdued light is preferred-New York Herald

 The old man is engaged in a task which will in all probability require his services for the whole summer, and even then he may not accomplish what he has set out to do. Wild gar lie has taken a firm hold on the White House lawns and bids far to soon oyerrun the entire reservation. Some time since the White House gardener? set about to find some method by which the objectionable growth could be eradicaltcd. After much thought and many unsuccessful experiments it was decided to try the efficacy of car ibl-lic acid as an agent by which the garlic could be destroyed. And so it came about that the old man in over alls was armed With a funnel and can. He carefully searches for the garlic and when bunch is found thrustS the point of the funnel deep down iE,5o the yielding turf to the roots and then rours in an ounce or two of the acid. The results so far have been very grat- flying to the gardeners who suggested the scheme. but the old man in over al.s has a Eig job before him.-Wash- ington S5ar.

THE MoONsHINER EXPLAINED

A Georgia revenue man had a novel experience, recently, with a moonshin- CT in a suspected district.
 Early one morning he discovered an old man standing near a grave in the mountain region.
 But the trouble about this grave was that the revenue man had observed smoke issuing from the place where the headboard should have bean.
 He surprised the old man. who in- mediately feigned great sorrow, ex- blaming his presence there by the statement that his brother was buried there.
 At the mention Of his brother he feigned great grief, and said he never would get over it-it wuz sich a hard dispensation of Providence"
 But isn't it peculiar said the rev enue man, 'fthat I see q stovepipe ar the had of his grave and smoke is- suing therefrom?"

CHICKENS IN EGYPT.

''The Egyptians may be slow and behind the age in some things. but il the science of raising chickens by ar tificial means I think they could give many other more progressive nations lpoints," remarked an observant American who had just returned from a visit to Egypt to the writer yester-
 day. 'For instance, near the Pyra-
 mids there are eighteerI or twenty rudely constructed incubating estab-
 lishments, none of which, from the outside, looks as if they were intended to make money But on entering one of these matching concerns, especially if it happens to be early in March, one soon realizes that the simple but ex- tsnsive arrangements within are cap able of turning cut between GOOD and 100000 little chickens every year.
 The incubators are one-story buildings made of sdn-dried bricks, so arranged that the eggs are laid upon cut straw ir, racks in rooms around the ovens, which are kept well fired during the matching season. The out side walls ard very thick, and are built so that they retain heat, and the only thermometer used is the blood of the boy or man who attends to the fires. By long practice these men learn just how hot the ovens ought to be kept, and they replenish the fires as the weather demands Only a small amount Of fuel is needed, and the temperature of the ovens is about that of 9S degrees a5cve zero. The fires are built mp for eight or ten days before thd eggs are r1t in to thoroughly warm the buildirgs. and after this they are not allowed to go out during the matching season. which is from March until May. The eggs are turned four times a day while matching.

THE TREKKING WAGON.

The South African wagon is a long, heavy cart mounted on four hig!
 wheels, as 9 rule with a sort of canvas tent over ths back half, leaving the front clear to carry the miscellaneous furniture of it's owner, drawn by six teen, eighteen CT twenty oxen, curi- ousiy fierce locking with their inn Glense sprsad of horn, sometimes as much as eight feet from tip to tip and rarely less than six but in reality as patient and hard working beasts as one could wish to find. Their mode of progression is certainly slow, but there is 2 strangenes5 and fascination abou. it which may draw men to it almost as thS Alps draw their devotees. In front there marches the ''voCr-lc0per, gen orally a small boy, leading the two foremCst oxen by a rein C. rope passed through their nostrils.

.GOETHE's LAST LOVE"

As sixty-sevem years will have elapsed next WeeE since Goethe's death, very few persons now living can have seen him in the flesh. Bar oness Ulrike vo1 Levetzow, however. who has just kept her ninty-frst birthday at Triblitz, in Bohemia, not merely knew the poet but was even privileged to stir the last embers or the tender passion in his susceptible though aged breast. In 1923, then lovely girl of 19. she accompanied her mother to Marienbad where the au- thor of Faust was making his an- nual cure. Dazzled by her beauty, he succeeded without much difficulty in getting an introduction, and there en- sued on his part a serious attachment, cordially reciprocated, it is said, by the lady herself. Fear Of ridicule pre- vented Goethe contracting a marriage of the May and December type. He tore himself away, writing the we'll known "Marienbad Elegy" in the post chaise that took him to Weimar Ulrike. having thus won the title of ''Goethe's last love-" remained satiS- fed with this distinction for the rest of her life, and is still ''Freifraulein' yon LeyetZow. although her wealth and beauty attracted many suitOrs- She enjoys, we are told. perfect health, and devotes herself to the wei fare of the poor on her large estates London Chronicle
