three days work. The forward movement
began on Sunday. when Col. Hannay set
out with a brigade of mounted infantry for
hamah- on the Riet, eight miles from ia
cobsdal, one of the Boer supply bases.
On Monday Gen. French with the cav
AIRY division seized the crossing of the
Riet river at Dekil's Drift sought of Jacobs
dial, and eighteen miles east of Honey Nest
hioof- He skirmished with the Beers and
cleared the way for 10000 infantry, who
followed across.
On Tuesday. with his three cavalry bri-
gades and the horse artillery Gen French
rode to the Modder river distance of
twenty-five miles, and took three fords,
with high ground beyond the river and
hve Boer camps. He had a few casualties
in brushes with the Boer horse.
Gen. French has now fixed himself on
Gen. Cronje's main line. Of communications
with Bloemfontein, and % 90 infantry with
seventy-two guns, are being pushed up to
support him there.
As to what forces Gen. Cronje has now at
his disposal, and as to where he purposes
making stand against the invaders, no
one connected with the London war office
knows anything, The data for conceptions
are wholly wanting
The forces Immediately at the disposal of
Lord Roberts are placed at 10000 in a gem
eral way. These figures are revealed by
the commands mentioned in the dispatches
as having been added to the divisions known
to be with Lord Methuen. Quite possibly
Lord Roberts has 10000 or 10000 more
1t is now realized that the incidents at
|, Rensburg have been out of all proportion
Merely skeleton lines were maintained
there. while troops were being secretly and
rapidly concentrated on the Modder river
The facility with which 10000 men have al
ready been sent beyond the rail terminus
shows that Lord Kitchener has been fully
successful in organizing transport. He is
nov supposed to be down the line, sending
forward more troops and getting together
more transport.
About five miles of OK and mule wagon
trains are estimated for each division. so
that Lord Kitchener, who is reputed to
have more skill than a circus manager in
handling field transport, has immense la
bors in hand

EASTER IN HUNGARY.

Some of the most curious Easter OBJ
servances prevail in Hungary, the
home Of dance and song. Miss Janka
Frankel, a singer who was heard in
opera last winter in Philadelphia and
other cities, gives an interesting ac-
count of the strange customs of her
native land. ~ +.
b Passion week, as a whole, is general
ly very quiet, almost no social func-
lions taking place. Its prominent fea-
ture is the pilgrimage tc one of the
sacred shrines. Devout ,persCus in both
town and country join in the pilgrim
age, and every village through which
the procession passes adds its quota to
the pilgrimage. The journey is taken
fasting. as far as possible, only bread
and water sufficient to preserve from
absolute exhaustion being INDUCED in.
On Good Friday a 1ife-size Image OF
the Christ is carried to the principal
church by a procession of priests and
there remains until Easter, guarded by
soldiers, who stand motionless as
statues. On Easter Sunday the wor-
shippers place offerings of money at the
feet of the sacred image. Easter morn
ing is greeted with tokens of gladness,
somewhat similar to our Christmas, all
the windows having wreaths of flowers
or leaves.
One of the prettiest observances OF
the day is procession of young girls
in white, carrying branches of green
trees, follOWi,sg the clergy i. thor
robes and the acolytes VIA uags
gilded cross. After the white iobed
girls come the villagers.
The most interesting custom, how
ever, is that known as watering"
which occurs on Easter Monday and
Tuesday. Men go out armed with wa
ter in bottles or pitchers and throw it
OH the young women they meet in the
village streets. Sometimes they even
call at the houses and greet the girls
who come to the door. The odd part of
it is that the more thoroughly drenched
the victims are the better they are
pleased, as it Er1ngs them luck In the
cities the custom has been gradually
refined SO that gentlemen arm them
selves with bottles of cologne.
This watering" rite is said to be
known in no other country, and its in
stitution is ascribed to one of tbs
apostles It is possibly perversion
of the rite Of baptism.

ETHEI'S EASTER.

Ethel lived on the seashore that
part OF the Alabama coast which the
Mobiians call over the Bay, and
she visited Mobile rarely except during
Christmas and Easter. She was busy
little girl with lessons and piano prac-
tlce, and asked so many questions that
an old sea-captain who lived near her
home gave her the name Of Little
Conundrum.

Flowers Necessary at Funerals.


Il The Rhode Island supreme court has
rendered a decision that flowers form
unnecessary feature eof a funeral. The
case under consideration was an ac-
ton brought by a florist against the
administrators of the estate OF a de-
ceased citizen who had refused to pay
for flowers furnished on the credit Of
the estate. The court justified the ex-
penditure, remarking that 6. the Gus
tom of having flowers at funerals is
Well-nigh universal in this country and
that, when not abused by extrava-
gance or unseemly ostentation, it is
certainly to be commended as giving
appropriate expression to our feelings
of respect and love for the departed. = Z
