SLOY COMING.

Spring comes slowly up this way, and SC do the watering carts that were due to come on the 18th of March. But some of them-twenty-tw -two--have arriv- ed and they began their beneficent work yesterday. Now that the real fight against the vile dust which springs at us has begun It ought to be carried on vigorously and persistently It wouldn't be at all surprising if the advent of the sprinklers should mark the climax Of the epizootic, or whatever it is that is afTlicting so many of the good people of New Haven as to their noses, throatS and bronchial tubes. There must be a common cause for 1t. and the nasty dust has surely been common enough It has also been irritating and poisonous enough. Down with the dust. Too long has it abused our patience, dam aged our goods and injured our health.

TIDAL WAVE IN A RIVE Ei.

The moon was riding at the very ze- nth, and it dizzied us to look up to it.
 Each one stood evenly within the circle
 of his own clear-cut shadow on the ground, at that moment of the moon s transit, and the bore was due; but ii was a calm night, and it was three- quarters of an hour after our unaccus- toned ears had caught the first far-dis- tant, muttering undertone before the ItWhite Thing was seen, ghastly line advancing as evenly over the water and as quickly as the dark shadow of an eclipse sweeps over a landscape. Near- CT and nearer it roared, growing, greater and winter, until we could see the whole cascading, bubbllng, frothing front, with spray-drops showering from the crest higher up in moonlight. With the roar of awful waters the dread thing
 came on, raising its white crest higher and higher as it licked the edges of the
 piles beyond which the junks lay. There
 were shouts and yells, and the usual boatmen's pandemonium let loose on the junks as the roaring wave approached.
 A rocket sizzed, some firecrackers sput-
 tered and gongs resounded, but all
 small sounds of earth's creatures were
 drowned as the fearful White Thing crashed past, and frightful hissing, a

TRYING.

We hope that in the great audience at the Hyperion Saturday evening there were no murderers heavy-laden with undetected and unconfessed guilt. If there were they probably didn't sleep well that night. Indeed so powerful and impressive was Irving's acting that even a compara- lively innocent person who came under it's spell would have had a good excuse for troubled slumber afterwards. The art that can make the fear, the remorse and all the horrors of a guilt t-burdened soul so terribly apparent is wonderful wonderful enough to nullify the curi- ous mannerisms and the indistnct pro- nunciation that were attached to it.. The people went away from the theater subdued and saddened, feeling that the tragedy had been almost too tragic and profoundly impressed with the skill and power of the tragedian. It was a great performance and will not soon be forgotten by those who were moved and taught by it.

THE STORMING OF BADAJOS,

1 The fire of the French was frightful- | ly accurate and concentrated. General 1 Walker himself simply dripped blood; | he was a mass of wounds. His ladders | were found to be all too short The | walls, of the fortress were thirty eight | feet in height. However, through some lack of staying power in the French, success at last crowned the attack. One man clambered somehow to the top of the wall and pulled up others, until about half Of the Fourth Foot (now ! the Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regi- menD were fairly into the town. Walkers men took three bastions. Gen.
 eral Picton, severely wounded, had not dared to risk losing the Castle, but now hearing the tumult of Walkers sue

 sands went swarming through the town. Pillipon saw that all was lost, and retreated with a few hundred men to Sar Christoval. He surrendered next morning to Lord Fitzroy Somer- set.
 The English now occupied the town.
 With their comrades lying stark, or,
 perhaps, in frightful torment, in the fields beyond the walls of Radajos,
 these soldiers who had so heroically
 won this immortal victory, became the

bodice-is very pretty for house wear now, and later will be just so much to- ward the summer wardrobe. For neith- CT purpose is there need of great elab- oration, white serge being at its best in comparatively simple treatment. Here is a model that was about right in this respect, and that in several particulars reflected the latest styles. One of these was the accurate pleating both above and below the belt. Another was in the scalloped brettelle of heavy ecru lace finished with white silk fringe. A jabot of the same lace was pretty finish, especially for a slender figure. Yoke and collar were cream satin banded with narrow black velvet. The belt was white patent leather fastening with q crystal buckle.
 This form of belt promises to be very stylish for late spring and summer, but the economizer won't welcome it. The demand is positive that the belt shall be in perfect condition, and patent leather Is as perishable and unwarrant- able in belts as in footwear. The white belt worn indoors now will not be sure, by any means, to pass muster in July, but 1t will not show defects cutie so quickly as will a black enc.

Don't Look For Flaws.

Don't look for flaws as you go through life; And even when you find them It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind, And look for the virtue behind them For the cloudlest night has hint of the light
 Somewhere in its shadow hiding; It is better far to hunt star Than spots on the sun abiding. The current of life runs every way
 To the bosom of Gods great ocean; Don't set your force gainst the rivers course
 And think to alter Its motion. Don't waste q curse on the universe;
 Remember it lived before you; Don't butt at the storm with your puny
 form,
 But bend, and let 1t fly oer you. The world will never adjust itself
 To suit your whim to the letter: Some things must go wrong your whole
 life long,
 And the sooner you know it the better. It is folly to fight with the Infinite.
 And to go under at last In the wreste, The wiser man shapes into Gods plan, And the water shapes into the vessel. Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Progressive Age.

GUESSING AT A CROWD.

Difficult to Make an Estimate as to thu
 Size of a Gathering of Individuals.
 Estimating the size of a crowd is
 world" said an old citizen. Nothing
 is more elastic, more compressible an6
 more deceptive than great throng
 On two occasions a street or square
 may appear to be packed to it's capac- ity, and one would say, roughly, that about the same number of people were present each time. As a matter of fact there may have been difference oi several thousand. I am convinced from observation covering a number of years that it is impossible for anybody standing on the level occupied by a crowd to form even an approximately accurate estimate of it's size. Such a spectator has no means of arriving at the density of che mass before him, and that is the vital point in the whole calculation.
 The proper place from which to size up any, great gathering is as nearly as possible overhead, in other words, from the roof or upper windows of some ad- jacent tall building, It is only by look ing down from a height that you can appreciate their great differences. One will be full of lanes and passageways, with little open spaces here and there, while in another the people will be standing shoulder to shoulder with all most military precision. From above, too, the strange wave movement which occurs in all crows is clearly discerni- ble, and 1t is certainly curious sight. A slight stir will be seen from some extreme corner: for a few seconds it will travel toward the center, exactly like ripple over water, then suddenly it will break and spread itself along three or four irregular paths, each end- ing with crush which must be entire- ly inexpxicable to the people in the vi- cinity. What causes these movements to take such eccentric routes through a throng Is at first blush mystery, but I suppose 1t can be easily explain ed on the common principle Of force moving in lines of the least resistance Some chap on the outskirt stars the thing by shouldefing his neighbor. and the impulse is passed along, always by way of the weakest
 As an illustration of how guessers will differ in their estimates of crowds I asked to very level-headed gentlemen how many people they thought were assembled at the foot of Canal street to witness the landing of Rex.

INDEPENDENCE NEEDED,

This country is going to have one ca- | ble of It's own and perhaps more. It | is interesting to notice that M. Desiar-
 dins, of the French Academy of Moral
 Sciences, contends, in view of the ob-
 struction of cable messages during the war in South Africa, that the nations
 will need to lay submarine cables of l their own SO as to escape interference | in future. He thinks England has ex- ceeded her rights and obligations under international agreements by suppress ing messages sent between Europe and South Africa. Even points beyond the scene of conflict were isolated by this alleged undue interference Business has been obstructed and it has been made evident that in case of war to which England is a party nearly the whole world would be telegraphically closed to her opponent. Not only is she the only power that has coaling sta tions, naval stations and fortresses in every sea, but most of the cable lines are English. England is, moverover, the only country that has the plant and skilled workmen for producing and lay ing submarine cables
 This dependence of other nations up- on England for communication with their over-sea possessions is, in M. Des- jardins' view, intolerable, and a move ment must, he thinks be begun to cor rect it. France must lay cables of her own to bring her possessions in various quarters of the world into independent connection with France. France and Germany already have cable connec- ton with the United States, and they wish to extend their lines to all import ant commercial countries. Russia has likewise taken the matter in hand, and the United States proposes to lay a cable of her own between San Fran cisco and Manila, paralleling to a cer- tain extent the "all-British" cable be- tween Canada and Australia.
 England has certainly been smart in the submarine cable line, as she has in

NOT TET OYER.

The war in South Africa isn't over and the Beers haven't lost all their resolution and cunning. They have just encouraged themselves by getting capturing them and six guns. There hasn't been much of this kind of thing lately, and it is probable that there will not be much more of it. Still, even one such incident will be very unpleasant to the British, who have had quite enough of such incidents. Perhaps by this time the British have got those guns back.
 It is announced that the extension of the campaign into the African autumn, with the prospect of it lasting until midwinter, has seriously altered the British plans. No preparations have been made by the War Office for a win- ter campaign, and the cold weather equipment of the troops is only now go- ing out. The heavy autumn rains have turned the country into a quagmire. The horses are exhausted and the heavy guns have moved scarcely a mile daily.
 The longer the Boers fight. the worse they will get whipped. There are now, it is said, 100000 British troops in the field, while the Beers have only 40,000 However stubborn and persistent the POerc nav he cooner ar Iofar thayy will have to give up or die.
