But England is Consoled With the Be-
lief That Nothing Is Happening.
NEW YORK. Nov, ia dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
The impenetrable veil Of silence as to
the movements OF the British troops in
Natal and Cape Colony continues, but
this must not be taken to mean that
there is nothing important happening
on the contrary the very reverse may
well be the case,
When the war began news of the
fightlng at Dundee was being sold on
the streets Of London while the battle
was actually going on.
The lack Of news now from Lady
smith is not owing to the defective
means Of communication, but simply to
the fact that practically no informa-
tion as to the military movements is
allowed to come. General Butler and
General White are once more in direct
communication with each other.
A very peculiar feeling is apparent
in the public mind, the strain Of receiv-
ing no news for 80 long time from
the seat Of the war and the certainty
that the armies are on the eve Of

THE CENSORSHIP REMARKABLY STRICT
M inflammation O Apv Character Can Be Obtained as the Ar
rival Of Re-infOreemsntS and Buffers
Plan of Action.

NEW YORK. Nov. ls.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London, says;
The tone In high quarters is conf
dent and cheerful Military authorities,
since General carleton's reverse, have
hoped that General white would re-
main quiet and act on strictly defensive
lines until the arrival OF the bulk Of
the army corps and they are contentsd
with the situation and highly grail
ned that nothing has happened except
a sluggish, ineffective bombardment OF
Ladysmith and indecisive skirmishes
on the western border. They smile In
credulously when any one suggests
that General Joubert's forces may at
tempt to carry Layysmlth by storm.
Meanwhile the exigencies OF after
noon Journalism are met by the pubh-
cation Of Mafeling and the military
writer's in this mornings papers are
puzziing over the admiralty reports OF
the movements OF the transports for
clues respecting General Buffers plan
of campaign and the strength Of the
relief column now forming at lower
Natal The censorship is well manag-
ed for just enough news comes through
to confuse every expert and render an
intelligent judgment out OF the Ques-
tiOn.
Apparently General Buner has a soul
above red tape and is disposing his
troops as they arrive without regard for
the original scheme Of organizations.
If all arrivals have been reported over
1900 troops have reached South Africa
OF which nearly 5000 have been sent
to Durham and about thousand TO
East London while over 1900 have re-
mained at Cape Town.
This distribution OF forces serves to
indicate that the situation at Lady
smith cannot be regarded by General
Butler as critical for otherwise he would
not have detained so large a force at
Cape Town.
The dearth OF news encouraged spec
ulation respecting lines Of British at
tack when an army corps is fairly on
the grounds.
Sober minded critics contend that
when Ladysmith is relieved the Free
staters will retire to Van Reenans Pass.

each body can hold strong defensive

The German emperor program for
his visit is enlarged today by the an

DEER HORNS AS MEDICINE.
This Queer Remedy l. In Use In the Flow
cry Kingdom.


Deer horns are used by the Chinese for
| medical purposes, and consequently the
value to "a Chinaman of pair of horns
depends upon the quantity of the medic
inal property contained i'll them. This
property, which may almost be called
the virtue - Is said to be greater in
| the young horns, and to get rarer as the
horns grow older. Tho deer from which
the horns are obtained are true species
of deer, the females having no horns,
and this, rs Darwin has pointed out i'll
The Descent of Man, s" is the case with
all kinds of deer proper, the reindeer
only excepted. In substance the horns
are not horny like the horns of COW or
an antelope, but are, when young, COM
posed of very delicate venous sub
stance, covered with "a velvety coating,
| and when old are osseous rather than
| callus.
For some months after they begin
growing they are very tender, and the
| deer, not liking to touch them against
branches of trees or bushes, 4 thing they
are almost sure to do in the forest, will
remain in the open, deserving cover, and
so many times exposing themselves to
greater dangers than the ones they flee
.
| older, the velvet covering begins to peel
off, and while doing so causes an irritat-
| ing, itching feeling, that makes the deer
rub them against twigs, messy bark or
any other yielding substance not hard
| enough to hurt. This rubbing assists the
velvet to peel off, and the horns then
enter the second or intermediate stage.
They are no longer tender, nor are they
so hard as they eventually become, but
are still going through a process of de-
velopment.
Eventually their growth is perfected,
they stand fo- u time are shed, to be re-
placed by new ones, and become the
property of the first forester or hunter
who has the good fortune to find them.
These shed horns, together with any
horns taken from deer when they were
approaching the time of shedding, have
reached the third or final stage and are
the least valuable. Chinese Imperial

Special Pins For Insect Collectors.

."Nuch care" said a taxidermist,
has to be taken i'll selecting the long,
fine pins used in fastening the speci-
mems in insect collections. For cheap
collections Of butterflies and bugs we
use the ordinary brass pins mostly, but
every one of these must be carefully ex
amined before impaling the insect to see
that it is we'll timed, for We're the tin
coating imperfect or the slightest flaw
evident ii would be in nine cases out of
ten liable to oxidize i'll the body of the
insect, and thus destroy it. We also use
black vanished pins. but they are al
most As bad. for the glazed coating soon
cracks, leaving the metal exposed, and
consequently it is not very long before
oxidation sets. Even the more expen-
sive kind, the nickel plated pins, are not
much better. The latest things we have
now are solid silver pins and bronze
pins, and there Is being used as an ex-
pertinent a nickel and aluminium alloy,
which possesses decided advantages over
all the others kinds used. New York

Some Sound Advice on the Subject of Food
and Feeding.

oON-S
and Feeding.
The vast majority OF people are abso-
lutely wrong ON the subject of feeding.
They think that rich and luxurious peo-
pie, feeding on the richest and most
luxurious foods, are the most fortunate
and healthy people. l assure you 1t Is
Just the reverse. l am the director of an
insurance company and am obliged often
to form an estimate of the commercial
value of life. If, then, two persons of
the same age and constitutional build
come for calculation as 70 the monetary
value Of their future lives, and if one
be rich and luxurious and the other be
competent and frugal, frugal even TO abb
stemiousncSs, l would value the life of
the frugal person as 90 per cent at least
better than that of the rich and luxuri-
Gus person.
Dives dies in plenty, Lazarus i'll pow
erty. Do not die like Lazarus if you can
help it, and do not die like Dives if you
have the opportunity, but find the happy
condition, easy enough TO find if you
determine to learn how on least food
you can do the most and best work.
Never cat until you are satiated, never
eat in the day one heavy meal, but di-
vide Your food into three light meals,
equally distributed as to time and guam
tity. Eat slowly, take small mouthfuls,
masticate, or chew, your food well,
touch your food with your fingers as lit
tie as possible, do not cry ont for animal
food more than twice day at most,
have all animal food well cooked and
do not forget fruit as food.

Where Cupid Numbered.

1t is whispered that a thoroughly Pa
risian divorce, which has been for some
time in question, Is imminent The
parties are the granddaughter of great
poet, deceased, and a literary man, son
OF n famous author. The young wife, it
Is stated, has returned with her baby TO
her mother. a curious thing is that, in
compatibility of temper being the sole
cause of the rupture, it is not yet known
whether a divorce can be obtained.
