The Former Boer War.

In the former war between Great
Britain and the Beers, Is years ago,
within four days after the revolt started
the Beers ambushed British troops at
Bronkhorst Spruit, and the battle last
ed ten minutes. One hundred and fifty
British soldiers out of 246 were killed,
and the rest surrendered. The Beers
lost not one man. At Laing's Mex the
Fifty-eighth regiment attacked force
of Beers. The battle lasted few min
utes; ia British soldiers were killed
and the Boer loss was reported as
"trifing." All the regimental and most
of the company officers were picked off
by the Boer riflemen, and the regiment
retreated under command of lieuten-
ant. At Ingogo river the British lost
$50 out of 270 soldiers engaged. The
Beers lost eight killed and nine wound
ed. AT the storming of Majuba Hill
by the Beers the British lost in killed
266 out of the 400 engaged, the Beers
losing one man. If there is another war
it will be conducted very differently by
the British.-Boston Transcript,

BOOTS FOR WEDDING GIFT.
Queen VictOria's Present to Her
FavOrite Daughter when She
Was Married.

The wedding present of Queen Vic.
toria to her favorite daughter was an
enormous collection of boots made for
every possible occasion. This favorite
daughter was Princess Beatrice. She
was also the youngest and the
last to get married. 1t was long expect
ed that she would remain spinster in
order to continue to be companion to
her mother, but, to everybody's sur
prise, she married Prince Henry of Bat
tenberg.
The boots and shoes presented to
Princess Beatrice by her august mother
were packed in boxes specially made for
them. Six pairs of the same kind were
packed in each box. Trees were sup
piled for all the heavy boots and shoes.
There were all kinds of riding boots,
and high boots for very cold weather,
made with very loose tops, into which
wool can be stuffed and finished with
beautiful embroidery. Beautifully en-
broidered satin and silk ball slippers
were included in the collection.
The walking shoes have extra thick
soles and round toes. The queen has no
sympathy with pointed toes or high
heels. So regardless is she of the fash
ion herself that she wears felt side
spring shoes, which would be consid-
cred out of style by an American wash
lady. She does not expect her daugh
tiers to be so far behind the fashions,
but they take after her in wearing
large, comfortable footwear.
There were really enough of these
boots to last the princess until she be-
came an old woman. Good boots well
cared for will last for an indefinite
time, especially when one has enough
of them to avoid wearing any one pair
for lengthy, consecutive period. This
fact was doubtless in her majesty's
mind when she made her present.-N.
