TRANSvAAL WAR ITEMS.

The following from Lord Roberts,
dated Pretoria, Aug. 9, was received
on the eth: IIarrismith surrendered

seems To be quiet Kitchener is with
the force south of the Vaal river. He
was joined yesterday by strong de-
tachment of Brabrant's horse and the
Canadian regiment. The Beers at
tackled the garrison at Glands river on
the morning of Aug. 4. Information
was sent to Darlington, who was on
the way To the river. Ian Hamilton,
who reached Rustenburg yesterday, re-
ported hearing heavy firing in the di-
rection Of the river. Today the firing
seems more distant, which looks as if
the Glands river garrison had been re-
leyed and was retiring toward Zee
rust.
dispatch from Pretoria dated Aug.
8, contained the following A plot to
shoot all the British officers and to

ACROsATs' TRICKS.
Many of Them Became Proficient In
sawmiIIs of the Northwest


Where do all the acrobats and tumb-
lers come from? Where do they learn
their trade? There Is no school, as
SUCH for the training of men who i'm
peril their lives for living. An old
acrobat solved these questions when
he told where he had learned to leap
and turn springs in the air and fail
on the back OF his neck without In
jurirg himself. Most Of the circus ac-
rcbats and not few of the rough and
tumble comedians of the stage, who
have graduated from the ring, were
reared and learned the rudiments OF
their business in the lumber towns
OF the northwest In the business
these are known as "sawiust towns"
on account OF the sawmills. which are
their CHIEF industry. There are many
of these In Wisconsin and Michigan
and several in Iowa that have turned
out the bulk OF the acrobats and tumb.
lers in the business.
In the "sawdust towns" the small
boys have exceptional faculties for
learning to turn handsprings in the
great beds of sawdust that surround
the mills: Soon they begin to try
the more difficult feats they see done
in the shows that visit the towns. At
ter school hours they tumble until
1t is time to go home and do the
chores" From out of them all there
generally rise two or three boys who
get the knack of the acrobatic feats
and these work in constant rivalry
each trying to excel the other.
One day along comes circus and
the best boy tumbler applies for job
and shows what he can do. Perhaps
he is given chance as top
mounter," or the top man in pyra-
mid act, because he Is light and ac-
tive. When he gets older, heavier
and stronger he may become an "un-
derstander." or one OF the men who
help to hold a mountain of men on
their shoulders. And thus he gets
into the show business. If he works
hard and studies he may become q
good acrobat in time But he got his
start on sawdust pile.-New York

PeI,In.s military College.

Under the conservative administra-
ton of the Empress dowager, the for
eign drillmasters were discharged
from the imperial service, and their
places filed with graduates of the
Manchurian Military College at Pek-
in. This schools chief textbook upon
military science is a literary classic
more than 1000 years old. 1t abounds
in such recommendations as these: "A
wise general plays sweet music before
going into battle in order to lull his
enemies into a deep sleep" "A good
commander should insist upon his
men practicing with the bow to shoot
backwards as they ride on their
horses, and should at times lead in
the exercise himself" "No general
should go to war without taking with
him an extra red umbrella and an ex-
ira umbrella-bearer." These gradu-
ates are supposed to have mastered
Craftsmanship, bow and arrow, the
spear the sword and martial music,
these being even to-day the chief fea-
lures of the Manchurian curriculum.

Electricity for Public Use.

In the business of manufacturing
electricity for public supply, where
steam power is used. the only avail
able by-product is exhaust steam.
This steam contains much of the heat
of tae furnaces which are fired to pro-
duce it when it is discharged into the
air, and is entirely available for
Eteam heating purposes. In certain
towns in the western states, notably
in Wisconsin and Minnesota, where
the winters are long and severe, the
electric light stations have laid sys-
TENS of underground pipes and have
supplied steam heat and hot water
TO citizens through them. The expert
ment has been an unqualified success.

wrist and hand and not on the palm.
1t is best to purchase from different
dealers until gloves perfectly suiting
the hand of the wearer are discovered,
and then give that dealer all your
trade. Promiscuous glove buying is as
bad as promiscuous shoe buying.
On the other hand, do not wear
gloves too large. The baggy backs,
wrinkled fingers and slouchy wrists
do not give that refinement of appear
ance which all women covet.
Do not wear glove with a button off
or a rip in some seam, thinking it will
not be noticed Such Il defect is glar-
ing to strangers and friends. Almost
any store will have any gloves which
have been bought from them properly
mended for a trifling sum, and the
gloves look much better than when
mended at home.
Do not put new glove on carelessly.
The first wearing molds the glove to
the hand and decides its future ap-
pearance. Be careful to get the fin
gers straight and work them gently
on, little by little, each in turn. Then
put one finger in the palm and. by
pressing outward adjust the hand
part. The thumb follows, and when
the seam on the outside of the hand is
even and smooth the glove may be but
toned or clasped.
Do not take the glove off careiessly
if you desire it to last well. In taking
gloves off turn the wrist over the fin
gers and draw until the fingers are
half uncovered, then the finger ends
may be loosened by the tips. This
makes it an easy matter to readjust
the glove right side out. 1t is good
plan to breathe in glove after taking
it off. 1t preserves the softness of the
kid by quickly drying any slight mois-

HOW TO WEAR GLOVES.
en- Are Inclined TO Neglect This
Important Accessory.

Most women do not realize the i'm
inappropriate glove can mar the effect
of an entire costume. 1t is unfortu-
nate that there should be so much care
lessness in connection with that article
of dress which has held so revered q
place in romantic history. Gloves have
been the symbol of power, the gauge
of defiance and the token of love, and
now they have dwindled to a necessary
adjunct of dress which in the majority
of cases is treated with the same con-
sideration as poor relation-anything
is good enough! But women's careless
ness of detail in regard to hand cover
ing is noticed and commented upon to
an extent which, if the fair wcarers
only realized it, would create reyolu-
ton in glove wearing.
There are many ''do nots" which are
applicable to glove wearing:
Do not buy cheap gloves. If your in
come is limited you might better don
neatly mended, correctly cut, good
quality gloves than new pair of poor
shape and quality.
Do not wear evening or dress gloves
except in the evening or on dressy &C.
casions. 1t seems to have become GUS
tom to wear fresh pair of delicate
gloves on some important occasion.
When they become slightly soiled or
have been cleaned they are used for
less important times, and a thoroughly
soiled glove appears to be good enough
to run out in or to wear shopping"
This is thoroughly bad taste, if not bad
form. For travelling, walking and shop.
ping wear medium heavy glove match
ing the costume or stout English
glove of some neutral shade. This will
prove more economical than always
purchasing dress gloves, which when
once soiled are hacked out SO quickly
and look SO sloveply.
Do not try to make the hand look
small by wearing a tight glove. In
selecting glove, be sure the fingers
are long enough and that the button
or clasp fastens at the juncture Of
