SUMMER FIREPLACEs.
The Modern Hounekeeper Keeps
Them in Perfect Order and
Leaves Them Open.

The summer fireplace is frequently
vcxation to the housewife. SCOT and
dust blow down it if it is left open. In
old-fashioned times the huge fireplace
was closed in summer by a board, and
chimney swallows built their nests on
the inside. These birds, which are not
true swallows, but swift6, live chiefly
on the wing, and are more nearly allied
to the hu1nming bird than any songster
we have. Where they inhabit old Chin
neys the hutter of their wings descend
ing and ascending to their nests may
usually be distinctly heard through the
frcboard.
The modern housekeeper instead of
concealing her fireplace keeps it in per-
feet order and leaves it open. She fur
nishes it with the andirons, fender and
other picturesque fittings of the god
Of fire" In order to,keep the SCOT and
dust Of the chimney from flying about
the room there should be close damp
or in the chimney that can be shut when
the fireplace is not in use and opened or
removed when it is desirable. Such
damper, which will answer all pur-
poses for shutting out the scot, can be
made of heavy, dark pastcboard, and
fitted into the chimney where it is out
of sight. ~ great many chimneys have
damper Of iron, but Of course these
do not close the auc tightly, and need
to be filed out with heavy paper to pre-
vent the dust from blowing down.
Where it is considered desirable for
any reason to put away the andirons,
tenders and other fixtures of the fire
place, the space may be partially filled
with palm and ferns from the woods
planted in flower pots or boxes. The
gloom of the fireplace is good for these
shade-loving plants. In this case, how
ever, the chimney flues must not be
stopped up, but left open. In place of
the old-fashioned fircboard curtain of
mating or some heavy material deco
rated with suitable design of gay, pic
turesque plants, or regular stained
glass fire screen may be used. A fire
screen of this kind should be framed in
brass and set with an artistic pattern
OF glass in attractive colors.-N. y.

A LITERARY STATESMAN.
He Knew All About the boy That
Stood on the Burn-

Not every literary man is con-
gresham, and by the same token not
every congressman is literary man.
There is one southwestern congress
man, Yet in the thirtics, who not long
ago was spending the night in Wash

friend Of his who knows much more
about politics and office holding than
he does about the divine aftiaius, and
by some chance they let their talk drift
into literature.

conversation moved along, who was it

well, OF course don't meun when he
learned how; but didn't he write some
sort of Il verse one time when he was a
kid in school? Scenes to me I've heard
something about something of that

"Oh, you're thinking about that one
about little girl that had a little curl
that hung right down on her forehead
and was torMd."
''Red-headcd, eh?''
II guess that was about the size of it.
Anyway, Longfellow never wrote The

man; anything goes, old man, that
you say. Now ii it's all the same to you,
and just to show you haven't any ILL
feeling about the matter, suppose you
tell me who in thunder did write

That's easy" responded the friend
with startling promptness John Hay
wrote it."

advantage of, the weakening of the be-
sieging forces by the Withdrawals for the
defense of Modder river. Kekewich's men
attacked first the enemy's center and then
right afterward his right flank, captured
lager and four redoubts, and destroyed a
large quantity Of military stores and food
stuffs 1t was a timely and brilliant stroke,
for which the garrison deserved Keke-
wich's thanks In a general order.
There has been vigorous intrenching at
spytfcntein, but Gen. Cronje will be in
danger OF having his retreat eastward to
vances to the attack. Methuen's force is
now estimated to be fully $1,000 men.
Boer Artillery Improving.
The gravest feature of the situation in
Natal is the marked improvement in the
artillery practice Of the Boer batteries
around Ladysmith. While the naval gun
had knocked out big Creusot and how
itzer, two more Siege guns had been
brought up, and. according to Times dis
patches, three Creusots, four big howit-
GERS, two batteries Of long-range field guns
and other heavy ordnance were weakening
steadily. The rations, moreover, had been
reduced all around in the garrison. Gen.
Butler not only knows these facts. but has
provided so strong a relief column that
the siege will be practically raised as soon
as Clery is ready to strike the first blow.
Comparison of Forces.
The British forces in Lower Natal are
now estimated at 1000 men, and Gen. Clery
will have no less than 10000 men for oper-
ations on either flank of Colenso. Butler
may be waiting for the first six Of the
eighteen powerful howitzers which were
sent out from England. A single section
of the battery arrived at Cape Town three
days ago, and its lyddite shells would be
a source of strength for the relief col
umn Cautious veterans who discussed the
situation last night refused to believe that
Iadysmith could be reduced to extremities
when so large a British army was en-
camped twenty-five miles away. Thele was
an unconfirmed rumor during the evening
that the Ladysmith garrison had made a
successful sortie ON Monday. Another bull
letin was that the garrison was safe on
wednesday. and, unfortunately. there was
a report that George Lynch, the corre-
spondent of the Echo. had been captured
by the Beers outside the British lines. He
is a brainy journalist and an excellent
artist, who did good work in the Santiago
campaign, and left London at twenty-four
hours notice to represent three journals.
Free State Raiders.
The advance of the Free State riders on
Dordrecht and other towns of Cape Colony
is not regarded as a serious affair BY ex-
perts in touch with the war office. Gen.
Gatacre is believed to be under orders to
draw them on and hold them back from
reinforcing the Dutch armies In Natal and
on the western border. He must have over
5000 men on the East London line, and
Gen. French cannot have less than $500
available for operating against Colesburg.

In his hands, and devote its energies to
the rapid dispatch OF the Fifth and Sixth

Military Men Not Uneasy.
Military man outside Of that office do
not share the uneasy feeling of the Times
that the garrisons are in critical condi-
tion, and that the difficulties Of the situa-
ton, either on the Tugela or beyond the
Modder, are increased by the inaction of
the British forces They assert that both
Gems. Methuen and Clery, being in
searchkght communication with the be-
leeGpered garrfsens, know what Is going
on, and precisely how urgent Is the need
of reliaf. They also maintain that the
Dutch forces have less to gain by delay
than the British. since Capitalization Of
forces Is going on in both camps. and the
reserves Of artillery and cavalry are a
more Important advantage for two relief
columns than the strengthening of the
defenses OF Colenso and Spytfontein is for
the enemy The situation, when viewed
Complementary at midnight, was dis

SENATOR FROM NEBRASKA.
Fusfonists Want Allen, While Demo-
Gratis Urge Hitchcock.

OMAHA, Neb.. Dec. S.--Gov. Poynter has
been called from the capital to Albion by
the illness of his father, and this has caused
slight break in the fight for senator to
succeed Senator Hayward
The friends of both Allen and Hitchcock
are busy organizing their forces, however.
One feature of the contest is the dropping
of all talk of a compromise candidate, and
1t appears certain that one of the two will
get 1t. The fusion members of the last
legislature are practically unanimous in
urging Aliens appointment. Democrats are
apparently united on Hitchcock, and are
making their strongest fight on the plea
that the Democrats have not heretofore re-
ceived their share of the Offices under the
fusion arrangement.
The governor has announced the ap-
pointment will not be made before the
middle of next week, In order to give all
parties ample chance to be heard.
