LONDON, March 28.-T report
published in the United States that
Lord Salisbury has apologized for open
ing an American consuls mail in South
Africa is untrue. Nothing whatever
has passed between the two govern
ments on this matter and the British
premier has taken no action to investi-
gate the allegations of Charles e. Ma
crum, former consul of the United
States at Pretoria, nor has he been re-
quested to do so. A printed fac smile
of the letter to Macrum alleged to have
been opened was given Lord Salisbury
by representative OF the Associated
Press but ne made no comment, nor
did he direct that anything be done.
PEKIN, China, March %. - The

Each force numbered about 1000 men,
and there were heavy Casualties on
both sides.

MAKING OVER BLANKETS
Eons This II a Good Way to
Renew Them.

New blankets generally come in
pairs, folded over at the bottom and
the two upper ends generally bound
with ribbon. Some housekeepers
cover this ribbon binding with fold
of cotton, which can be ripped oil
when 1t is soiled and another basted
on In its place. This, however, Is only
a temporary device. AS soon as the
blankets are washed the border must
be replaced, as ribbon ordinarily will
not bear washing. After bed blankets
have been In use two seasons they
should be washed, no matter how neat
they look. They have by this time alb
sorbed enough of those unwholesome
fumes thrown out in sleep to be dis
infected In some way, and the best
way is by washing them. Cut them
apart at the fold and rip off the rib
bon binding. This makes two single
blankets, which are much easier to
handle in washing than a pair. Wash
the blankets by themselves on a clear
cool, sunny day In early spring, when
the air is still, but is not cool enough

edge on an even strip Of wood, the size
Of the blankets before they were
washed, and pull them the same length
ON the line. Let them hang until they
seem dry, then hang them in warm
kitchen over night. When they are
dry finish both ends of each of the
blankets in blanket stitch. 1t should
be done with an ordinary sized

THE MODERN THERMOPYLE.

A Brave and Bold Ballade of Ten to One.
Come gentles all! and shout your fill
Hark what the cables say
The flag that conquered Bunker Hill
Has won again today.
Once more rabble rout OF churls,
An ill-trained farmer horde,
Have met our knights and sons of earls
And pupils Of the sword.
Aye, let the gallant tale be told,
In ballade that endures,
How fifty thousand Britons bold
Did whip four thousand Beers.
Msjuba Hill is now forgot,
Forgot its petty shame,
That damned spot our heroes blot
In Paardebergan fame.
For then we fought as man to man,
Each Briton was alone
But here we tried the safer plan
OF fighting ten to one.
The Lord who dotes on Englishmen
And shields their blood and bone,
Informed the thews Of every ten
With all the strength of one.
Then gentles all! Pour out your thanks
In ballade that endures,-
Say once we whipped thousand Yanks
And now, four thousand Beers.
And mention, too, the Persian who
Did storm the bloody pass;
And smote another rabble crew,
Led by Leonidas.
