from General Butler:
"Frere Camp, Natal, Jan. S.-The
following is from White, dated 2 p. NJ,
Sunday:
"'An attack was commenced on my
position, but was chiefly against
Caesars camp and Wagon Hill. The
enemy was III great strength and has
pushed the attack with the greatest
courage and energy. Some Of the en-
trenchments on Wagon Hill were three
times taken by the enemy and retaken
by us. The attack continued until 7:3O
p. M. One point in our position was
occupied by the enemy the whole day.
But at dusk. in very heavy rain
storm, they were turned out of this
position at the point of tho bayonet, in
a most gallant manner by the Devons,
led by Colonel Pava. Colonel Ian Ham
ilton commanded on Wagon Hill, and
rendered valuable service. The troops
have had very trying time and have
behaved excellent1y. They were elated
at the service they have rendered the
queen.
1.-THE enemy We're repulsed every
where with heavy loss, greatly exceed
ing that on my side, which will be re-
ported as soon as the lists are COM
Dleted.''

Ammnnition His Grsatsst Need.
The greatest concern for General
White is his supply Of ammunition.
When the siege began his ammunition
supply was vaguely described as
''plenty." His artillery then had 800
rounds per gun. Some Of the batteries
have been in action frequently since
then and all were probably engaged
last Saturday. His stock of shells con
sequently must be low and this will
make it difficult for General White to
Cooperate in movement by General
Butler.

Nasturtiums are grateful things and
repay even Indifferent care, but when
given generous treatment they are a
perfect blaze of wonderful color and
beauty.
When nasturtiums refuse to bloom
and go to leaf profusely, pick off the
leaves by great handfuls, ruthlessly
and relentlessly. This lets the sun and
air get to the stems and buds and
makes them bloom much more pro.
fusely Keep all the old flowers picked
off and never let seeds form. Once a
week go over them and pick off every
thing in the shape of flowers, leaving
only buds, and next day but one they
are as gay as ever The more they are
picked the better they bloom,
If you want great show of fine
large nasturtiums for any particular
date, pick off all blossoms a few DAYS
before and give copious waterings.

A Good Snake story.

The latest authentic snake story Is
from North Glenwood Farm, nea1
Easton, one of the country places in
Talbot county, Md. The other day a
big black snake was seen emerging
from an ice pond. 1t was killed. A
protuberance was noticed about the
middle. The snake was chopped In
two, and porcelain turkey nest egg
rolled out. Captain Noble Robinson
was tenant on the farm last year. Mrs.
Robinson raised turkeys; using china
eggs in their nests. She says that II
months ago she missed the nest egg
from a nest near the Ice pond She
supposed a boy who had the range of
the meadow had taken it. When the
egg from the snake was shown to Mrs
Robinson, she identified 1t as one she
had lost by q certain incised mark
upon It, The snake had carried the
china egg IA months in his vermiform
appendix, apparently without appendi-
citis. But he must have thought very
hard of it and that it was very singular
that it could not be digested.

minutes. She could do no more, how
ever, the effort of climbing the en-
bankment in her exhausted condition
being too much for her, and she asked
to be taken to her home in New Point,
a mile away. Tender hands lifted her
to the cab of an engine and in a few
minutes she was being rapidly taken
where medical assistance could be rem
dered. She became unconscious i'm
mediately after being placed on the

Miss Wise does not seem to think
much of her deed and modestly refuses
to be considered heroine, but never

save the passenger train that enabled
her to retain consciousness and climb
to the top of the embankment and or

about GO feet above the main level of

little tower, having given the signal to
the extra freight train that all was
clear. The train pulled out of the sid

tower a car jumped the track. This
threw four other cars off and all of
them came with great force against
the tower, overturning it and sending

wreckage, which soon took fire from

With wonsn's nimble fingers -
Awake life's beauty everywhere;
Things small and unregarded
Beneath thy touch shall change to fair.
With woman's tender insight
Unspoken sorrow understand
The watchers aching forehead
Shall yield unto thy cooling hand.
With woman's noble purity,
Be as the snow white lilies are,
Their glowing heart shall beckon
And be the wanderers guiding star.
With woman's strength eternal,
Thy life, for others freely given,
Shall shine afar, translucent,

break my pilgrim staff; lay 49,
Aside the toiling oar; %
The angel sought SO far away -
welcome at my door.
The airs of spring may never play
Among the ripening corn,
Nor freshness Of the flowers Of May
Blow through the autumn morn.
Yet shall the blue eyed gentian look
,! Through fringed lids to heaven,
And the pale aster in the brook
Shall see its image given.
The woods shall wear their robes Of praise,
The south wind softly sigh,
. And sweet, calm days in golden haze
Melt down the amber sky.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Rebuke an age of wrong;
The craven flowers that wreathe the sword
Make not the blade less strong.
But shifting hands shall learn to heal
To build as to destroy
Nor less my heart for others feel
That the more enjoy.
All as God wills, who wisely heeds
To give or to withhold,
And knoweth more OF all my needs
Than all my prayers have toldi
Enough that blessings undeserved
I Have marked my erring track;
That wheresoe'er my feet have swerved
His Christening turned me back;
That more and more a Providence
OF love is understood,
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good;
That death seems but covered way
. Which opens into light,
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight;
That care and trial seem at last,
Through Memory's sunset air,
Like mountain ranges overpast
In purple distance fair;
That all the iarring notes OF life ~
Seem blending in psalm,
And all the angles OF its strife
Slow rounding into calm.
And SO the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play,
And all the windows of my heart
open to the day. Whittier,
