The Boers have coruered the British generals, and the Boers have also made . corner in British generals by killing so many of them. If Cecil Rhodes and Joe Chamberlain could be placed on the firing line they would not be so anxious to continue the war, and if the Prince of Wales and others of the mo- bility who are seven thousand miles in the rear of the British army could be placed in the vanguard then tho "war for civilization" would immediately cease.

Sand Fleas.
cleveland Plain Dealer.D

cleveland Plain Dealer.)
Some time ago a Boston nOusekeeper
asked one of the esteemed journals of
the Hub how to get rid of red ants.
There were numerous replies 70 the
query, all of them seemingly of value
and presumably emanating from persons
who had tested the remedies proposed,
and yet not one Of them exceeded the
simple recipe gratuitously offered by
the New York Sun. publishers and pro-
mixture. Here is the Sun formula in
its briefeSt form:
QuestiOn-How can I get rid Of red
ants?
Answer-Paint them black
This journal is in receipt of a note from
an esteemed subscriber. in which the
writer somewhat plaintiyeIy asks what
is the best thing to do to drive sand
fleas out of the house
In this case the answer would be:
Drive out the dog"
This is the best reply that can be given
at the present moment, because the editor
who has charge of the bug corner of the
question box IS away just now on his
VacatiOn-and none of the other editors
has been troubled with fleas of the sDe-
cies mentioned.
When the bug editor returns and pro
nOunCeS the recipe given above as false
in its conclusions as well as unreIiabIe in
its action. he will undoubtedly evolve
from his store of useful information some
eradicatOr that may nneeD the emergency
and BATTLE the SandieSt fleaS that ever
