THERE has been severe fighting the
past week between the Beers and the
British in South Africa, and the Beers
have defeated the British in two hot
battles, inficting heavy losses. The
British forces under General Gataere
attacked the Beers at Stormberg on
Sunday. The former marched nearly
all night, and it transpired that they
had been misled through the ignorance
or treachery Of their guides They
suddenly found themselves the victims
Of fierce attack by the Beers, and
were obliged to retreat as best they
could, losing about 700 officers and
men in killed, wounded and captured
The Boer losses were small. Monday
there was another battle between Gen
eral Lord Methuen's command and
the Beers under General Cronie at
Magersfontein. The British were ad-
vancing with 5000 men to the relief
of Kimberley, when they were met by
General Cronje with 10000 soldiers.
A fierce fight ensued, and the British
were driven back to the Modder
river General Methuen reports that
his loss was great, number of promi-
nent officers, including two generals,
being killed.
The news of the British defeat has
created great excitement and appre-
hension in England. and it is recog-
nized as fact that long and costly
war is on.

Watering With a Rake.


The New York experiment station
gives the following sensible advice in
regard to saving and usiliziag the mois
ture that is in the soil:
Let me tell you how to water the
plants. I wonder if you have water
ing pot? If you have, put it where
you cannot find it, for We are going to
water this garden with rake We
want you to learn in this little garden
the first great lesson in farming-how
to save the water in the soil. If you
learn that much next summer, you
will know more than many old farmers
do. You know that the soil is moist
in the spring when you plant the
seeds. Where does this moisture 80
to-? It dries up-goes of into the
air. IF we could cover the soil with
something we should prevent the
moisture from drying up. Let us
cover it with layer of loose dry
earth We shall make this covering
by ,raking the bed every few days
once every week, anyhow, and oftener
than that if the top Of the soil be-
comes hard and crusty: as it does after
a rain. Instead Of pouring water on
the bed, therefore, we shall keep the
moisture in the bed.
''If, however, the soil becomes SO
dry in spite Of you that the plants do
not thrive, then water the bed. Do
not sprinkle it: but water it. Wet it
clean through at evening. Then in
the morning, when the surface begins
to dry, begin the raking again to keep
the water from getting away. Sprink-
ling the plants every day or two is
one of the surest ways to spoil them.

Effect Of Storms on Birds.

The effect Of approaching storms
upon song birds is the subject Of an
interesting contribution by Mr.. G. r.
Linney to The United States Monthly
Weather Review It appears that
during the night Of August 15-16, 1898,
severe electrical, wind and rain storms
prevailed over the northern district of
Illinois. An observer in Henry coun-.
ty, Mr.. W. W. Warner, noticed that
for forty-eigh hours before the storm
not sound was heard from the nu-
merous song birds in the district.
This observation was SO full Of inter-
es. that Mr.. Linney wrote for ad-
ditional information, with the result
that he received numerous letters,
some confirming it; others stating that
birds sing louder and more persistent
ly before great storm. and nearly all
agreeing that they are more restless
than usual at such time. Mr.. Lin
ney has found the following weather
proverbs referring to song birds and
storms When birds cease to sing,
rain and thunder will probably occur.
If birds in general pick their feathers,
wash themselves, and fly to their
nests, expect rain. Parrots and cana
ries dress their feathers and are wake
full the evening before a storm. Ii
the peacock cries when he goes to
roost, and, indeed much at any time,
it is a sign Of rain. Long and loud
singing of robbins in the morning de-
notes rain. Robbins will perch on the
topmost branches Of trees and whistle
when storm is approaching. The
restlessness of domestic animals and
barnyard fowls before an approaching
storm is well known, aud many of
their peculiarities have been noted
but the actions Of song birds do not
appear to have previously received
particular attention. Scientific amer
lcun.

What it Means to Keep House.

Many housewife has seen that her
husband did not understand what it
meant to keep house, and that he has
wondered why she was worn out. He
thought Of the things he knew she had
to do and could not see why they
should tire her so. But there are a
hundred and one little things man
will never see. He enjoys his we'll
cooked meals, likes to see the house
neat and pretty, knows his socks are
we'll darned, and takes pleasure in
seeing his wifelook bright and smiling.
All this he takes as matter Of course,
but he fails to realize That one pair Of
hands, in most cases, must do all this,
and one brain plan to get it done.
Many an uncharitable remark has
been uttered by a husband to his wife
on the subject of her housekeeping.
Forgive them; it is their ignorance.
Even if man were set to housekeep-
ing by himself he would fail to see the
little things, the things that woman
does to add to the comfort Of each
member Of her family. Never does
she put from her the wants and needs
Of her husband and children. It is to
mother the children come when their
books, hats and playthings are lost; to
mother in their trials: and so mother
is in demand all day long.
Who can count the steps woman
takes each day in her household du-
ties? Many man would be worn out
if he had to do the work Of a woman
about the house. He would have to
learn to leave task unfinished and
see to some urgent call in another part
Of the house, or in .he midst Of i'm
portant work answer call to the door
and politely dismiss an agent OF usher
in friend who had ajust stopped for
a moment" If men would under
stand the magnitude Of a woman 8
work they would give due credit where
they often give blame.
Itis positively necessary that wo-
man should get out each day. She
needs alittle fresh air and companion
ship as well as does her husband. It
is fact that more farm women 60
crazy than any other class of women,
and why? Simply because Of the hard
work and solitude. They do not go
out because they have no place to CO.,
and so it is work, work all the time,
with few pleasures, and a great lack Of
something to divert their minds from
the daily routine.
A woman's best efforts should be
for the comfort Of her home, for hus-
band and children, and reasonable
amount Of work she will gladly, will
ingly, give. Rut when it becomes a
mountain Of labor and crushes out her
life, hope, ambition and youth, then
it is too much, and the beauty of home
is spoiled. When the wife becomes a
slave in her own household it is time
some one should rescue her. The
most sacred name in any household
should be that of mother. Let the
boys and girls remember that never
will they find on earth a friend like
mothcr.-Erchaagc.

were educated by fear Of the lash or
the whipping post, and you can pick
them out to-day. 1t is their children.
born since the war, or their grand
children who are in the chaingang.
Why should there be 1000 negroes
in these State and county chaingangs
of Georgia when there are only 240
white convicts? It will not do to say
the negro is punished and the white
man escapes. That is lie, and every
observing man knows it. My own OBJ
servation is that the courts lean to
the negro rather than against him.
No small per cent of the colored con-
victs are now serving second term
and some third term, which proves
that Imprisonment does lot reform
the negro. When he comes out his
last condition is worse than the first
But the whipping post would so thor
oughly reform young negro that he
would not repeat the offense. Con-
fnement in jail nearly crushcs the
soul out of white man, but negro
is perfectly contented there. Ask the
sheriffs or the jailersi if this is not SO.
Now it will take perhaps ten years to
