ROBERTS AND CANADIANS.

When Field-Marshai Lord Roberts
saw the colonial troops on parade in
the queens jubilee procession in Lon
don in 1897 he remarked that there
was the sort of soldier-material that
he would like to lead In battle. Those
representatives of the colonial military
were half-drilled citizens but they car
ried their heads proudly and sought to
emulate the steadiness of the finest
troops of the empire who accompanied
them in that long line. Laconic Rob-
erts is not quoted as giving any rea-
sons for his remark Had he known
how soon his wish was to be realized
he might have said more.
But what excellent judgment! TAX
en- raw from the farms and workshops
and ounting-rooms, he whipped them
into shape in few weeks and gave
them assignments which other gem
erals would have regarded as safe only
in the hands OF tried veterans.
Brigaded with the Gordon Hlghlanders,

to their lmpetuous advance upon the
enemy at Paardeberg is credited the
reluctant surrender OF Gen. Cronje.
One dispatch says that the Canadians
were only prevented from carrying the
lager at the point of the bayonet oy
| imperative orders to the contrary.
This was the spirit which led the
Roosevelt Rough Riders up San Juan
hill in company with the famous fight
ing thirteenth The Canadians, like
wise, were not to be outdone In BRAY
cry even by the disciplined veterans
beside whom they were fighting, heroes
OF many bloody engagements, and all
the world looks on and applauds as 1t
did when San Juan fell. The manner
In which the Canadians are sustaining
the expectation of Lord Roberts is
something OF which the dominion Is
and ought to be very proud. Canada
will be grateful to Bobs, despite the un-
fortunate loss which has attended
these engagements, for giving to her
sons the opportunity to make this rec
ord for themselves, instead OF follow
ing the advice OF some Canadian war
experts" who thought II would be I'M
safe TO trust them by themselves, and
suggested dividing the regiment into

find the much talked-about "egret

AS an Illustration of the influences

ing upon the boys and girls in general
to be more careful about their collect

peal with interest and decided that it

states and make Arbor and Bird day

ments ever started. Let the young be
taught to plant, not to uproot. to save
life, not to destroy it.
Give fools their gold and knaves their
power;
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;

Or plants tree, is more than all.
Whittier was right Let the bird

to plant to love the birds, to know the

the smartest gown builders use lavish
" and charge dearly for. There may
be made entirely by hand at ones
own (home) simple frock of white
nainsook. The skirt is a nicely fitted
hVe-gore, trimmed at the bottom with
five narrow heGstitched shingles
form neck to bust line. below which
broad band of valenciennes encircles
the bebe folds of nainsook which are
drawn down under pointed belt of
blue taffeta, with long streamers
from one side of the center of the
back. The bodice fastens behind with
a row of white crochet buttons. The
tops of the sleeves are covered with
three hemstitched shingles to cor
respond with the trimming of the
bodice, an insertion of lace breaking
the plain nainsook of the upper arm,
while a rufle of lace finishes them at
the elbows. A little turnover of lace
and lawn is to finish the cravat stock
of blue taffeta.
1t is both pretty and easy work to
make the little lingerie waists of lace
and lawn which are to beso much the
thing this summer. The prettiest are
built of insertions of valenciennes and
tucked lawn, or perhaps entierly of
lace insertions in two widths, run to-
gether with fancy headings of lace.
They are unlined, and their principal
fit is about the shoulders and in the
correct shape and fit of the sleeves.
which may be tight or in shirt shape,
with soft turned-down cuff or lappet
of lace over the hand. Their trigness
comes from the perfectly -corseted
figure and from the perfect touch
which arranges so masterfully the taf-
feta ribbon stock and pointed belt.
A plain white lawn waist in simple
bebe shape is pretty, with sleeveless
bolero of lace insertions which has
pointed front pieces to tie over the
bust with hanging ends.
Gathered skirts, fichus, elbow sleeves
and stomacher effects are the chief
new features, one of which will un
doubtedly distinguish every summer
frock of any pertensions to smartness
The gathered skirt and the fichu are
especially desirable in summer ma
terials, and when one is of striped
taffeta and the other of white gauze
and valenciennes, one might think the
days of the grandmothers had come
again.
AS for hats for the spring, muslins,
chiffons, flowers and leaves are the
principal materials, often combined,
as for instance, in a toque built en-
tirely of green rose leaves with a
bunch of roses atop, or a turban OF
plated chiffon with wings of ruched
chiffon flaring from paste buckle,
but no goddess feathers of innocent
birds.

CENSUS DIFFICULTIES.
Summer Resorters May Miss the Roll
Call.

June the census enumerators begin
the task of numbering our people;
and the task will not be a light one
for beside the number of inhabitants
TO be ascertained a multitude of other
facts are to be gathered on general
conditions, and the census to be taken
this year will probably be the most
complete in every way that we have
ever had. One of the first difficulties
the enumerators will encounter, in the
cities, will be on going to many houses
to find the inhabitants fed, he knows
not where, probably to some summer
resort a hundred or more miles away
He may learn the whereabouts of the
family from the neighbors, but that
is not sufficient Much of the infor-
nation he is required to get is of such
nature that it can be given by some
member of the family only. What is
he to do? On this point the law is
short, for it fails to make adequate
provision for this contingency; and
the enumerator is forced to accept
such meagre and possibly inaccurate
reports of the absent family as neigh
bors or relatives may give.
Ii has been suggested that winter is
the proper season of the year for d.
rectory agents to ply their trade, ant
the rule might we'll apply to the cen
sus enumarators. The directory mar
strikes the city in the spring just a
the time that people are afflicted will

change their residences after the di
rectory copy has been turned in. The
census also falls at the time of veal
when the population is most unstable
City dust and heat drive many res
idents to summer resorts.
One of the city enumerators wa!
seen yesterday, and he said the prob
lem was serious one, and there ap
peared to be no solution. 1t is prob
able. however, that a meeting of al
the enumerators of the city will bt
called before June l at which thi:
among other matters pertaining tC
their work will be considered. Ii

BATTLE OF CLONTARF
THE DANES CRUSHED AND DRIVEN
FROM IRELAND.
Although Better Equipped and Heav-
lily Armored, the Enemy Could Not
Withstand the Irish Battieaxes.
Appalling Slaughter.

1t is now 9S6 years since the memo
rable battle of Clontarf was fought, In
which the venerable King Brian Bo-
roihme headed the Irish army Of 10000
men in crushing the Danish forces and
driving them out Of the island, says
The Irish World. King Brian Boroihme
was killed as he knelt in his tent pray
ing for victory, having become fatigued
with his eXertions on the field and pre-
vailed upon to retire, as the tide of
battle had already turned in his favor.
The Danish forces numbered about
$1,000 men In three great divisions and
were Largely composed of trained war
riors clad in mail armor. The Danes
were better equipped for battle than
the Irish, and the story of their ringed
and scaled armor of tempered steel was
them to be almost invincible against
the spears and battleaXes of the Irish,
who wore no defensive armor, but de-
pended upon their aggressive onslaught
and heavy blows to carry the day.
The historian Cambrensis tells us
that the heavy battleaxes of the Irish
warriors were welded by them with
fearful effect. They swung them with
one hand, and the weapons thus came
from a greater height and with crush
ing force, $50 that neither the crested
helmet could defend the head nor the
iron folds of the armor the body.
Whence it has happened even in our
fimnS " no NOnfinnaC "thof thn NUhnla

tempered armor. has been Topped off
by a single blow Of the AK. the limb
falling on one side of the horse and the

Besides these broadaxes. which were
exceedingly well steeled, the Irish, ac-
cording to this historian, used short
lances and darts, and they were Every
dexterous beyond other nations in
singing stones in battle when other
| weapons failed them" The Danes re-
solved to engage in battle contrary to
| the wish of Brian Boroihme. whose
Christian feelings revolted against the
thought of spending the sacred day Of
the crucifixion in scenes of carnage.
When the two armies were marshal
ed in battle array, the venerable mon
arch appeared on horseback at early
dawn and reviewed his troops, exhort-
ing them to fight like patriots and
Christian soldiers. Holding his sword

MINING IN PORTO RICO.

An investigation of the mineral re-
sources of Porto Rico by H. B. c..
Mite, published by the United States
Geological Survey, indicates that our
new possession has good iron ore and
perhaps copper in workable quantity,
but that other minerals are for the
most part wanting or of uncertain
value. In the eastern part of the is
land, within IL miles of the coast,
th ere is much magnetic of an excel
lent character, having 65 per cent. Of
metallic iron with little or no phos-
phorus or sulphur. The topography
is such that railway may be easily
constructed to the port of Ensenada
Honda or Naguabo. AS an American
company has acquired all the valuable
iron mining claims, the exploitation OF
Porto Rico's supply of iron ore is to be
expected in the near future. Iron
pyrites occurs IN some quantity few
miles east of Adjuntas. There is no
coal, but peat is found on the north
coast. Ignite occurs, but it is i'm
pregnated with iron pyrites. Phos-
pilates are found in small areas.
Copper is widely distributed, and its
ores have been more worked than
those of any other metal. Near Ma
guabo an ore body is found of a
thickness of from to 10 feet, part of
the vein producing from 10 to Is per
cent. of copper, with some gold and a
trace of silver. A Boston company is
developing the Reina del Cobre claim
Corozal, where copper was obtained
- years ago. 1t is, however, to be OBJ
served with regard to the copper
mines, according to Mr.. Mite, that
more extended exploratory work is
required to determine whether there
are deposits of large value" Lead has
been found, but is probably in small
quantity. There are placer deposits
of gold in the valley Of the Luquillc
river, in the northern part of the is
land, and in the Corozal mountains
Iron pyrites, not quartz, it is thought
is the mineral to which it will III
timately be traced. But there are nc
reliable records regarding the gold
output of the placers, and little can be
affirmed about them till they have
been intelligently prospected. Upon
the whole, Porto Rico as at present
developed is not a bonanza. Some
thing must be added in regard to the
harbors and transportation facilities
of Porto Rico, the inferiority OF which
accounts to some extent for the lacI
of mineral development in the past
With few exceptions the coast Of the
island is a shallow sandy beach af'
fording few opportunities for close
anchorage and little shelter from
storms. There are no frst-class har'
bors. San Juan, on the north coast
has dock facilities, but these are very
limited. Fajardo, Ensenada Honds
and Naguabo, on the east coast, and
Guapica and Jobes, on the south coas
! are serviceable ports on occasion, bu
not of much value. OF railroads thu

lines confined to the coast country

"In looking after your servant do

beings" writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in the
Ladies Home Journal. IF sac has

Der that she is so much the more to
be pitied. Women, as 2 class, from
lack of proper training, are not bust
nesslike. The housewife retains the
responsibility of all the detail work
rather than give it over to the sery-
ant; hence the lack Of Interest and re-
sponsibility on the part of the aver
age maid. If the housewife would but
allow her servant to become respon-
sible for the great bulk of the detail
work much confusion would be avoided
