terry and the Worcestershire regiment
were surrounded in the hills by the
Beers, and after losing heavily obliged
to capitulate. General White adds
that the casualties have not yet been
ascertained.
The following is the text of General
Whites dispatch to the war Office, filed
at 1926 pm:
81 have to report disaster to the
column sent by me to take position on
a hill to guard the left flank of the
troops. In these operations today, the
Royal Irish Fuslleers, No. 10 Mountain
battery, and the Worcestershire regi-
ment were surrounded insthe hills, and
after losing heavily, had to capitulate.
The casualties have not yet been ascer-
tanned.
Ask Assistance to Bury Dead.
GA man of the Fusiliers, employed as
a hospital orderly, came in under flag
of truce, with letter from the survi-
vors of the column, who asked for as
sistance to bury the dead. I fear there
is no doubt of the truth of the report.
81 formed plan, in the carrying out
of which the disaster occurred, and l
am alone responsible for the plan.
There is no blame whatever to the
troops, as the position was untenable."
A later dispatch from General White
gives the names of the officers captured,
of whom there were II of the Irish Flu
siliers, 10 of the Gloucester regiment,
and 4 of the battery.

themselves stern fighters and military
stragegists of no mean order. The
disaster cost the British from 1900 to
1000 men and six 7-pound screw guns,
and as the Boer artillery is already
stronger than imagined, the capture OF
these guns will be great help to the
Beers.

The cost of doctors visit In Chi

One would think that, inasmuch as
thew are cheap, nobody would be with
out doctors visits in China; but, as a
fact. the Chinese get along with as few
If them as possible. The reason is
said TO be that the Monaghan doctors
use such abominable medicines. Ex-
tracts of all sorts Of creeping things
enter into the Chinese drug list, and
people are averse to taking them ex-
cent in extreme necessity. 1t is posi-
ble that the doctors have purposely
provided themselves with these Of
fensive remedies as a means Of self
protection. It would be very weary
ing to be a popular physician at 5
cents a visit; he might run his legs off
and get no sleep. He accordingly
makes himself unpopular through the
medium of medicines concocted of
beetles and grasshoppers and such
things. He prefers simple poverty to
poverty complicated with running

the words: Return forbidden" These

after. Once having started there, you
must keep straight on until you have

Expert Operates on Twenty-FOur Ami
mails a Day.
A Mexican mining company which
owns 300 mules keeps a dentist on its
staff simply to look after the mules
teeth. One of Mr.. Mules amiabIe
weaknesses is the habit Of boiling his
food, which frequently causes dyspep-
STA or other diseases. This boiling of
MS food is not caused by desire to
hasten his meal, but because his mo-
lars, or back teeth, having more worl,
to perform than his front teeth wear
away in the course Of a few years and
become much shorter than the front
ones, thus allowing the food to pass
into the stomach without being pron-
erly masticated. In cases of this kind
the inCisors, or front teeth. have m bo
hled down an eighth or a quarter of
an inch. The molars of a mule are
three and a half inches in length
while the incisors measure two and
a halt inches, and, judging from his
signs Of pain, the nerves are as sensi-
tive as those of human beings. An
expert dentist operates on twentv-four
mules day. The extracting instr1,-
ments are from two to three feet in
length, and the entire case of instru-
ments weigh fully fifty pounds. The
teeth OF every mine mule are exam
med and treated, if necessary, once or
twice year.
