REDUCED TO ExTREMITtEs.

Gen. Cronje Gave Up to Save His Wo1n-
en- and Soldiers.
The condition of affairs in the camp Of
the Beers when Gen. Cronje surrendered
to Lord Roberts was something frightful.
They had run entirely out of food, except
the trek cattle, and these were eaten as
rapidly as they were killed by the British
shells. Their ammunition had given out,
and most of their artillery was badly
damaged by the British fire. Most of
their wagons were burned
The lager was strewn with the corpses
Of the dead, lying in the broad light un-
buried and fostering. The wounded were
in an awful plight. The hospital corps
was insufficient to attend to them, and
they lay about the lager in heaps, some
crying piteously, others shrieking in their
pain, many silently enduring their ag-
onies.
The British troops, Immediately on TAX
ing possession of the lager, were order
ed by Lord Roberts to devote all their at
tentlon to succoring the wounded and
burylng the dead, as we'll as caring for
the women and children, who, panic
stricken and in expectation of some awful
punishment, could hardly be induced to
accept kindness or aid from their con-
querors. The British commissariat was
taxed to its utmost to give immediate re-
lief to the sufferers, but eeverything pos
sible was done to alleviate the condition
of the captives The surrendered force
numbers about 5000 combatants Besides
these, there are over 1000 women and
children and Kafr laborers and members
of the Red Cross Relief Corps.

you notice the rose point on that old
lady's brown satin, Vera!
.s'That was Lady Kynaston."

Won notice the rose point on that old
lady's brown satin, Vera?'
saThat was Lady Kynaston."
sOh. was it? By the way, of course,
you must know some of the kynastons,
as they come from your part Of the
world. I wonder they didn't ask you to
the wedding"
Vera murmured something unintelligi-
BILE. M. d'Arblet looked at her sharply.
He saw that she had in no way recovered
her agitation yet, and that she could
hardly bear her companions Drainiess
chatter over this wedding.
s'That has been no ordinary love at
fair" said this astute Frenchman to
himself. 81 must decidedly cultivate this
young lady's acquaintance, for | mean
to pay you out well yet, ma belle Helene.
s'You will come back with us to lunch,
Monsieur d'Arblet?" asked Mrs. Hazel
dine.
II shall be delighted, madame"
'If you will excuse me, Cissy, am not
going to lunch with you to-day" said
Vera.
''My dear! where are you going, then?
II have visit to pay-an engagement,
I mean. / will be home very soon, in
time for your drive, if you don't mind
my leaving you"
'Oh, of course, do as you like, dear"
Lucien d'Arblet was annoyed at her
detection, but, of course, having accept
ed Mrs. Hazeldine's invitation, there was
nothing for it but to go on with her. AS
to Vera, she turned away and retraced
her steps slowly toward st. Pauls
Church. 1t was a foolish, romantic fam
CIV, but she felt as though she must go
back there once more.
The church was not closed. She push
ed open the swinging door and went in.
Vera went up into the chancel. She
stood where Maurice had stood by the
altar rails A soft, subdued light came
streaming in through the colored glass
window; bird was chirping high up
somewhere among the oak rafters of the
roof, the roar of the street without was
muff1ed and deadened. Vera lifted her
eyes; great tears welled down slowly,
one by one, over her cheeks-burning,
blistering tears, such as one sheds but
once or twice in a lifetime-that seem
to rend our very hearts as they rise.
Presently she sank down upon her
knees and prayed-prayed for him, that
he might be happy and forget her, but
most of all for herself, that she might
school her rebellious heart in patience,
and her wild passion Of misery into peace
and submission.
And by degrees the tempest within her
was hushed Then, ere she rose from
her knees, something lying on the ground,
within yard Of where she knelt, caught
her eye. 1t was a little Russia leather
letter-case. She recognized it instantly;
she had often seen Maurice take it out
Of his pocket. Could anything on earth
be more priceless to her than this worn
and faded object!
She rose hurriedly. She was in haste
now to be gone with her treasure, lest
anyone should wrest it from her. She
carried it down the church with guilty
delight, kissing it more than once as she
went. And then, as she opened the
church door, someone ran up the steps
outside, and she stood face to face with
Sir John Kynaston.

COCA CHEWING IN BOLIVIA.
South American Belief in the Mysteri-
GUS Powers of the Plant.

South American Belief in the Mysteri-
GUS Powers of the Plant.
The Indians regard the coca with ex-
treme reverence. Won Tschudi, the
Austrian scientist, who made thor
ough study of the ancient customs Of
the Incas, says During divine wor-
ship the priests chewed coca leaves,
and unless they were supplied with
them it was believed that the favor Of
the god could not be gained. 1t was
also deemed necessary that the suppli-
Gator for divine grace should approach
the priests with an 'acullico' in his
mouth. 1t was believed that any bust
ness undertaken without the benedic-
ton Of coca leaves would not prosper,
and to the shrub itself worship was
rendered During an interval of more
than 300 years Christianity has not
been able to subdue this deep-rooted
idolatry, for everywhere we find traces
of belief in the mysterious powers Of
this plant. The excavators in the mines
of Cerro del Pasco throw chewed coca
upon the hard veins of metal, in the
belief that it softens the ore and rem
ders it more easy to work. The Indians
even at the present time put coca leaves
in the mouths Of dead persons in order
to secure them favorable reception on
their entrance into another world, and
when a Peruvian on journey fails IN
with mummy he, with timid rever-
ence, presents to it some coca leaves
as his pious Offering"
One of the scientific explorers who
has been working up in this region told
me his experience with a coca chewer,
"a man was employed by me- he said,
Sin very laborious digging. During the
five days and nights he was in my SER
vice he never tasted food and took only
two hours sleep each night, but at in
tervals Of two hours and a half or three
hours he repeatedly chewed about half
an ounce of coca leaves and kept an
sacullico' continually in his mouth. Twas
constantly beside him, and, therefore,
had the opportunity to closely observe
him. The work for which I had en-
gagged him being finished, he accompan-
led me on two days journey across
the level ground. Though on foot, he
kept pace to my mule and halted only
for the chaccar Chewing coca. In
leaving me he declared that he would
willingly engage himself again for the
same amount Of work and that he
would 60 through it without food If
would but allow him sufficient supply
of coca. The village priest assured me
that this man was 81 years Of age, and
that he had never known him to be Ill
in his life."-C Chicago Record.

Storm Is Widespread and Delays Bust
ness and Traffic.
The heavy snoWStorm which has enyel-
oped the entire West and Northwest
covering almost every State in these parts
of the Union, is almost unprecedented IN
damage to all manner of traffic as we'll
as interrupting seriously the ordinary. yo-
cations of life. Press dispatches show
the storm to have been general from
Omaha to Toledo and from Milwaukee
to the Gulf Of Mexico.
In Illinois, northern Indiana and east
ern Missouri snow fell to depth of eight
to fifteen inches. The high winds and
snow has also interfered with traffic from
northern Ohio over western Pennsylvania
to the lower lake region to the interior
of New York. Moline, ILL.,, reports a
freight wreck on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroad at Port Byron.
At NATION snow and sleet played havoc
with wires. Jacksonville fears coal
famine. Waukegan, Bloomington and
many other cities report the schools clos
ed on account of the snow.
All of Indiana felt the force of the
storm. Trains were much delayed
throughout the northern and central por-
tons, and in the southern part sleet caus-
ed much damage to wires. In Michigan,
Lansing Three Rivers, Saginaw, Benton
Harbor, Kalamazoo and Niles report
from ten to eighteen inches of snow on
the level. Kenosha, Wis, was storm
bound, and at Burlington, Iowa, street
car traffic was blocked. Toledo, Ohio,
reported severe storm, with all the at
tendants of wind, delayed railroad trains
and blockaded traffic.
In the southwest Dennison, Texas, re-
ports the storm the worst in years. Six
inches of snow fell in Indian Territory.
Rain, hail and snow prevailed throughout

PORTO RICO BILL PASSES.
House Adopts Tariff Measure by q
Vote of lie to 1R1

Vote OF l7G to 161.
The struggle in the House over the
Porto Rico tariff bill Wednesday after
noon when the bill was amended by re-
ducing the tariff to 10 per cent and max
ing the law temporary, and passed by a
vote of 172 to 161. The Republican man
ayers seemed surprised at the majority
of eleven received by the bill, for up to
the hour of voting they claimed only a
majority of from three to FIVE.
There were six Republicans who voted
against the bill. They were Mccall of
Massachusetts, Littlefeld of Maine,
Crumpacker of Indiana, Lorimer of Illi-
nois, and Heatwole and Fletcher of Min
nesota. Warner Of Illinois, who was abb
sent by reason of illness, was paired
against the bill. Representative Lori
mer announced that were Mr.. Warner
present he would oppose the bill.
These five Republicans were not enough
to defeat the bill had the Democrats been
united in opposition. On a strict party
vote, with all members present, the Re-
publicans have a majority of fourteen.
andtit would have required the change
of eight Republican votes to defeat Four
Democrats voted for the bill, four others
were absent without pairs, and one was
present without voting. In this way the
bill received majority of eleven votes.
The four Democrats who voted for the
bill We're Davey and Meyer of Louisiana.
Devries of California and Sibley of Penn

without pairs were Stallings of Alabama
Small Of North Carolina, Smith of Ken

Majuba Hill,
Feb. II, 1881.

) The disastrous defeat of Gen Sir
, George Colley by Gen. Joubert at
, Majuba Hill was retrieved by Gen.
, Lord Roberts In the capture of Gen.
, Cronje on the Modder. The recent
, British victory was a peaceful sur
, render, while Colley's defeat, nine
teen years ago, was the most fatal
, battle of the first British-Boer war
; On Saturday night. Feb. 26. 1881,
Sir George Colley, with a small force,
moved out of camp at Mount Pros
pect and occupied Majuba Hill, which
overlooked the Boer position on the
fiat beyond Laing's Mex. Early Sun
day morning Gen. Joubert attacked
the hill, and, under cover of desultory
firing three Boer storming parties
assembled the hill unseen. The Brit
ish were outf1anked and surrounded
I and a deadly fire was poured upon
them from all sides. The slaughter
was heavy. Sir George Colley was
killed just as he had given orders to
cease firing. The British fed, being
shot as they ran. So disastrous de-
4 feat has seldom fallen upon British
arms. 1t was the last episode Of that
war. Peace was established on what
was regarded as a Boer basis.

Award of the Court of Claims as Bounty
for the Manila Battle.

for the Manila Battle.
The United States Court of Claims has
rendered an opinion in the eases of Ad-
mlral George Dewey for naval bounty on
account Of the battle of Manila, the opin-
ION being the finding of facts for a judg-
ment of $3.50. The opinion is that the
spanish force in Manila bay was inferior
TO that Of the Americans, and for that
reason the claimants for bounty will be
allowed 500 instead Of 5000 for each
man IN the enemy's feet. Had the opin-
ion held that the Spanish force was SUI
perior. Admiral Dewey's share would
have been $4,000. 40.

How to Raise watermeIons.

An Iowa contributor to the Farm,
Field and Fireside says: Select a rich
loam-sandy loan is best-and dig
holes six feet each way. or in one long
row, and put shovel full of we'll
rotted manure in each hill, covering
with two inches Of dirt. Plant about a
dozen seeds in each hill, covering one
inch deep. Plant from the 9Th to the
10th of May. Soon after planting these,
say five or six days, plant hill be-
tween each two of the first ones. These
will come up about the time bugs show
up generally, and they will not touch
the first vines, but will destroy the sec
ond planting. This Is much easier than
putting ashes on the vines, and surer,
too.
The main thing after this is to keep
the ground loose around the hill, and
you can raise melons in spite of drouth.
Should the bugs come early and attack
the first vines, they are all gone before
the others are up. A wheel hoe is the
best tool to use, hoeing twice a week
at least. The seeds should be saved
from the earliest and largest melons
providing they are sweet.
