the amount of emaciation, sleeplessness

without waiting for the other divisions
to arrive.
The firing of the Beers was not so
deadly as must have been expected
from troops occupying such an excel
lent position, but the British lost
heavily charging up hill, and only the
consummately brilliant way in which
General Symons had trained them to
fighting of the kind saved them from
being swept away. The hill was almost
inaccessible to the storming party and
any hesitation would have lost the
day.
The Boer artillery was ineffective.
A rough estimate places the British
loss at $50 killed and wounded and that
of the Beers at 500 A number of Boer
prisoners were captured.

back with better boat to try again.
The prayer of Sir Thomas for wind
was answered. 1t was blowing twenty
five miles an hour. Both yachts sped
across the starting line before the
twenty-five knot breeze wing and
wing, their spinnakers breaking out
like puffs of white smoke and setting
hard as plaster. The excursion fleet
trailing down on either side were chas-
ing after the yachts as fast as their
steam would carry them. But the big
sloops set so hot pace that they left
half the tug boats and some of the
steam yachts astern.
The Columbia rounded the turn just
seventeen seconds ahead of the chal-
lenger, having gained minute and
eighteen seconds in the fifteen miles

How to Remove a Tight Ring.

Most girls who have had baby rings
have had trouble in removing them
from their fingers.
There is really no necessity for all
this ado about removing tight ring,
said a downtown jeweler. I'm that as
in everything else, the secret OF sue
cess lies in knowing how to do it. Here
is a recipe that l have found unfailing
for removing a tight ring, and there is
no painful surgical operation in
volyed, either. Thread a needle fiat in
the eye, using thread that is strong
but not too coarse. Then pass the head
Of the needle under the ring. Care, of
course, must be used in this, and it
would be best to soap the needle be-
fore beginning. The needle having
been passed through, pull the thread
through a few inches toward the hand
so" BY this time the jeweler had
passed the needle and thread under the
ring on his own finger, and was pre-
pared to illustrate 1.-The little lecture.
Wrap the long end of the thread tight
ly and regularly around the finger to-

kind of weather, spread sail to the
danger point, but it was all in vain.
The Columbia was more feet and left
her in the rear.
The rush of the yachts through the
seas on the last tack was magnificent.
Geysers spurted from the bows and
drenched the sailors lying piled up
against the weather rail. AS the gal
liant Yankee shot across the finish be-
tween the lightship and the committee
boat, the shippers of the fleet that had
got there in time almost forgot to open
their whistles, so absorbed were they
in the stirring spectacle.
The Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton's steam
yacht, hoisted the stars and stripes in
honor of the victor, and was honored
by salutes and cheers from all the craft.

Canning Fruit.

To can peaches first select nice, ripe
fruit, but not that which has become
soft. Wash them in a pan of cold
water, then lay soft cloth in the bot
tom of another pan to lay the peaches
on to drain after washing Peel them
with a reasonably sharp knife, so as
not to bruise them. Cut in halves and
remove the pit. Place the fruit in the
cans with the open side down and put
in as many as you can without mash
ing the fruit. Now make a syrup OF
one-haf cupful of sugar to each quart
of fruit and pour over the fruit while
it is warm, and fill the cans full Put
some pieces of thin boards or lath in
the bottom of a wash boiler and set
the cans upon them; then put warm
water enough in the boiler to come up
a couple of inches on the cans, put the
covers loosely on the cans and cover
the boiler tight and boil one hour, then
remove the cans from the boiler, put
on the rubber and screw the top on
tightly Tip the can down on the side
and turn it around, to be sure that 1t
is perfectly tight. II the least bit OF
syrup oozes from beneath the cover it
is not tight enough. If you cannot
turn the cover any tighter take some
hard substance, such as knife handle.
and press the edge Of the cover down
firmly onto the rubber and try it again
and again until not one drop OF syrup
runs out If the work Is done thor
oughly on the start you will not have
the least trouble to keep fruit any
length of time until it is wanted for
USE Set the fruit away in box or
cupboard in reasonably cool place.

THE QUILTING PARTY.
The Quilting Party at Mrs.
Weather's was glowing success.
Upwards of thirty ladies were present
besides the little ones They were
divided into three classes 1t was
the duty of the first class to take care
of the children, of the second class to
prepare the feast and of the third
class to quilt the quilts; taking turns
about talking to the preacher.
Two, however, were exempt from
any class, it being the duty of the one
to bring in the un4uilted quilts and
of the other to carry out the quilted
ones, and you may be assured that
these two were kept busy.
Such was the hustle and hurry OF
the day when suddenly hush came
over the party. The cause of the
silence came from an adjoining room
toward which all heads are turned
and from whence came sweet voice
saying "Come hither, come hither
aud see what is waiting for you" And
as they arose the great sliding doors
were rolled back and lo-before them
was a great table, spread with Kansas
luxuries. Here all were seated and
when they had finished basket full
or more was taken up. After another
social chat one and all went to their
various homes to think over the
pleasures of the past and the hopes
of the future, never to forget the
happy day spent at the Quilting
Party on this one joyous occasion.
