ambassador is better fitted to deal
than any other person by reason of
his perfect familiarity. The ambas-
sador had made arrangements to re-
turn his family to England on the 2Sth
instant, remaining in the United
States for a fortnight longer himself
in order to close up his business af-
fairs. The notification received Tues
day has made change of plans neces-
sary. His family have decided to re-
main in the United States with the
ambassador during the spring months
at least. and it will be some date in
June before they leave just how
long this extension of the ambassa-
doris term of Office is to prevail is not
known positively. but it is understood
that Lord Pauncefote will remain at
the head of the embassy until some
time in the fall. 1t is said that such
an extension as this, the third. has
only one precedent in the British dip

color Three very pale shades of water
greens head the list, aquarelle, pastel
and fresque. and these, as well as the
four others further on--detaille, tria-

ing in tone, but equally pale) may be
classed as among the most fashionable
spring colors, equally with the three
pale, dull blues, vatican, murillo and
rembrandt, and the very faint skyblue
ingres. All the pastel pinks are charm
ing, the rose miniature, gauache
and chrome; the solferino tones-van
dyck, rubens and raphael, and the flesh
tints-ninon, manor and mentespan.
The names of Dumas three heroes
Athos, Porthos and Aramis-have been
given to a series of dull lilacs. All these
pinks and Glacs will be much used in
combination with the water greens.
Beiges of light shade are also included
among the pastel tints, beginning with
new one, bichetto, and pale huff, ray
het. The browns on the card are OF
golden hue, and the grays metallic;
cloud-gray, corot, should be a success.
With one exception-nenuathar-the
yellows are pale, but this has the bril-

ion is somewhat divided on the subject
of yellow, as to whether or no it will
rank high. 1 predict for it success as a

THE SCARLET LANCERS.
A Famous British Cavalry Regiment
That Broke n Square
of Infantry.

The Sixteenth lancers formerly
Light dragons, by the way) are the
only regiment of British cavalry that
has ever penetrated and broken a
square of infantry This fine feat was
performed at the bloody battle of Ali
wal, in the Punjab, in January, 1876.
The gallant SiAhs had thrown them
selves into squares, and in this forma-
ton they had for a long time resisted
the desperate charges of our cavalry just
as stubbornly as our infantry had re-
sisted the French curassiers at Water
loo. 1t was history repeating itself
only this time we happened to be the
assailants. Again and again did the
Sixteenth lancers strive to break
through the sullen masses of the Sikhs;
again and again scores of saddles were
emptied, and we were beaten back
with slaughter. The Sixteenth and
other cavalry were led by that fine Of
fcer, Brigadier Cureton, destined to
die in a later battle of the same cam
paign. As the lancers got close enough
to deliver their thrusts their weapons
would splinter like matchwood upon
the stout shields of their swarthy foes.
Suddenly an inspiration came to the
troopers. Without receiving any orders
whatever to that effect, but as if con-
trolled by unanimous impulse, they
suddenly shifted their lances to the
bride hand and charged in once more
The Sikhs, entirely unprepared for this
sudden and mastery maneuver, received
in their bodies instead of on their tar
gets the deadly spear points of the
horsemen. Into and through the
squares swept the Sixteenth with
lances as crimson as their tunics. Even
so it is recorded that the resistance
was so desperate and sustained that
the Sikh square had to be ridden
through again and yet again ere they
were finally destroyed and dispersed.
Since that proud day of the Sikh cam
paign the regiment has had many mag
nifcent officers, and Sir d. c. Drury-
Lowe gave the corps the highest posi-
BILE character during his tenure of the
Aldershot cavalry command.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Sweet Potato Crouuettes.

For dish of croquettes, boil say half
dozen potatoes; when cold peel and
mash them, adding two big humps of
butter (about two tablespoonfuls), a
little nutmeg, and pepper and salt, and
the yolks of two well-beaten eggs. Stir
this all together thoroughly over the
fire, and when it is a smooth mixture
lay it aside to cool. When cold form
into croquettes, or egg-shaped balls,
roll in egg and bread crumbs and fry
them in hot fat. Lay napkin on the
dish you serve them in, and garnish
heavily with parsley leaves. The effect
is very pretty, and they will come as a
surprise to your guests.-Ladies'

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

BY local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of lie mucous sur

ABOUT SMALLPOX.
First Indications of the Dreaded Dis
ease md Its Various Grad
atiOns.

Although smallpox is classed among
the infectious or contagious diseases
since it is spread by communication
from the sick to the well, no one ever
taking it who has not been exposed in
some way-it is not always possible to
say how the exposure occurred, for
the poison of the disease retains its
activity for an indefinite period and
may be transported long distances in
articles such as clothes, toys, books,
and so forth, which have been in con-
tact with the sick.
The attack begins suddenly, in from
a few days to two weeks after expos
ure, with chill and severe pains in
the lower part of the back, and usual
ly also at the pit of the stomach.
Often, too, there are sharp rheumatic
pains in the arms and legs; the suf-
ferer complains of violent headache,
a distaste for food and nausea, and is
bathed in profuse perspiration.
High fever comes on, the pulse beats
forcibly and rapidly, the breathing is
quick, the tongue heavily coated, the
breath foul; there is extrtme prostra-
ton; drowsiness or mind-wandering
may occur, and in a word the patient
is terribly i'll. There are few diseases
that seize their victims so suddenly
and so violently as smallpox.
Children frequently have commissions
at the beginning of the attack. After
about two days the fever moderates
and then the rash appears, coming out
downward, involving in succession the
neck, the arms-being usually thick
est about the wrists-the body, and
finally the lower extremities.
The eruption begins as little specks;
these are succeeded by pimples, and
these in turn are followed by vesicles
OF little elevations of the epidermis
about the size of split pea, filled
with a straw-colored fluid, which later
becomes cloudy or milky. About a
week after the beginning of the dis
ease these Vesicles become yellow, the
fluid within turning to pus, and at the
same time a dimple appears at the tip
Of each one. This dimpling, or UNI
b.lication, as it is called, is very char
acteristic of the smallpox eruption.
The fever now comes back, and the
disease is at its height from the tenth
to the thirteenth day, after which the
eruption begins TO dry and form crusts
which have an overpOwering and disa-
greeable odor. These fail off after
time, leaving a red surface, on which
are seen the ''pOckmarks" which are
the permanent scars of the eruption.
After the crusts fall the skin begins
to peel, coming away in flakes or
hranny scales.
This is a description of an ordisary,
severe case of smallpox. but there are
all gradations of the disease, from q
mild varioloid, in which the patient
hardly feels i'll, and may have but one
or two spots of eruption, to the form
n which the eruption is so thick that
it runs together into one mass of dis
gushing scabs and crusts stained with
oiood.-Youth's Companion.

BATTLE OF THE NUMERALS
Arisen with the
New Year.

The advent of the year 1900 has
brought other mathematical worries
than that regarding the relation it
bears to the twentieth century. There
is for instance difference of opinion
as to how the numeral signifying the
year shall be written. Several ways of
arranging the Roman numerals are
possible, and the battle of the Ms and
C's and DIS may be said to be now fair
" on. AS a matter of fact the Roman
numeral has fallen largely out of use
during the century just closing. and
is now to be found chiefly in formal
documents and occasionally on the title
pages of books. The modern mind is
too thoroughly accustomed to the more
easily written and understood Arabic
numerals pause to figure out intricate
problems in the Romans. The year
1900 may be regarded as 400 years after
the year 1900, or 100 years short of the
year 1000. Much depends upon the
point of view. If the year 1900 is taken
as the base of calculation, that being
the least multiple of 500. the present
year may be written MDCCCC, meaning
1000 years, 500 years and 400 years, a
total of 1900. Or, somewhat on the
same basis it may be written MDCD,
which means 1000, 500 and hundred
less five hundred. This, however, is an
awkward method, and might confuse
some nonexperts. Taking the years
1000 as basis two ways are possible,
MON, meaning 1000 and n hundred less
another thousand, or CHM, meaning
hundred less than 1000. OF these two
the weight of reason and usage lies
with the former, on the principle that
tits proper always to express the largest
possible established number and to re-
sort to subtraction only in case of the
smallest possible numeral to produce
exact definition. Should the principle
of positive expression be regarded
throughout, the symbol MDCCCC would
stand as the correct numeral for the
year, for it involves no subtraction
whatever. At the same time it is true
that the SYMBOL for is always arranged
upon the basis of subtraction, thus, X.
Upon this principle, which is carried
through the multiples, the proper SYM
Dol for 1900 would be similarly sub
tractive, or MON. And so MON is find
ing many advocates, and it may prove
that for a hundred years the world
Will be divided into two rival camps,
those who persist in writing MDCCCC
and those who maintain that MON
alone is proper. 1t is relief to reflect
that with the year 1000 the controversy
will cease, for there is no dispute over
the double Naturalization Star

OF the tactics of infantry there is no
end, but there are some simple rules
for the individual foot soldier to re-
member when lost in the chaos of bat
tie. If you cannot bayonet your enemy,
shoot him; if he goes away, aim at the
base of his spine. But do not let your
attention be distracted from business
by the consideration that other people
are making a mark of you. 1t is your
duty to kill the highest possible num-
Der of those opposed to you, not to save
