/. LONDON, June 29.-President Steyn's
force in the Orange River Colony is for
the time drawing most Of the attention
of Lord Roberts rather to the neglect
Of Commandment General Louis Botha
and President. Kruger. The severance
between tho Transvaal and the Orange
River Colony was completed, as Lord
Roberts said it would be, by the arrival
of General Buffers advance guard I'M
der Lord Dundonald at Standerton.
The wide net around the 5000 or 5000
men under General Steyn will now
contract. Adroit maneuvering and
brisk fighting are likely to take place,
because, until all resistance south of
the Vaal is at an end, the British line
of communications will not be safe.
President Kruger's sons, who sur.
rendered to General Baden Bowel, are
back on their farms and working peace.

have been burned by the British.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS,

Expect to Gradually Hem in and Disarn
4 the Beers.
! NEW YORK, June 29.-A dispatch to
The Tribune from London says:
/. General Buffers advance from Sand
spruit is almost the only fresh point in
the military situation in South Africa.
His march is in the. direction of STAN
derton, which commands the road
northward from Vrede. Lord Roberts
has announced his plan Of operations
already, and the occupation Of Heidel-
berg by forces from johannesburg may
confidently be expected within 48
hours. The remnants Of Presidents
Kruger's and Steyn's armies will then
be separated and gradually hemmed in
and disarmed. The process ought not
TO require much time as the Dutch
forces in the two sections cannot now
number more than 5000.
I Rumors have been revived that Gen.
erals Botha and Dewct will surrender
their forces if they can gain any points
by negotiating, but these appear to be
premature. Dewet has not yet been
thoroughly beaten and Botha came near
surrounding French's troops during the
last battle. The story that the bridge
on the Delagoa railway was blown up
by the premature explosion of mine is
hardly credible.

q proper condition of the teeth. Gas

much distress often caused by inges-

undoubtedly it is the duty Of every
careful physician to instruct his pa
tients to regard them.

How to Make Tea.

This recipe is given by his excellency
Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister to
Washington, who says that Americans
do not know how to make tea:
"There are no bad teas; some are
better than others Use green or black
as you see fit. Now place Id q teapot
a sufficient quantity Of tea leaves and
pour upon 1t hot water. Let this stand
for four or five minutes to allow for
thorough infusion, and then you have

Is to it. No rum, no sugar, no lemon,
no milk. Drink 1t warm, not hot"

HONG KONG, June 23.-L Hung

~ in obedience to the order by the en-
press to suppress the Boxers and to

man in China capable Of coping with
the situation. He said he regarded the
Boxers as 'srabble, led away by fanati-
cism and anti Christian feeling" but,
he also declared, the native Christian
leaders were much to blame, as they
.engendered litigation in the native
courts. He said he did not regard the
Boxers as a political society and that in
his opinion the empress had been mis-
led and misinformed. His remedy for
the situation is to deoapitate the leaders

followers home and to make peace with

There are many and bitter com.
plants of the poor wearing qualities of.
lace curtains AZ compared with those:
that Tasted for years In the times Of
our grandmothers. Complainants Of
ten insist that the quality has deterio-
rated md that there are no such goods
made as those bearing date Of 40 years
ago, many Of which are even yet in q
more presentable condition than our
own, that have passed through perhaps
two or three cleanings In as many
years. fa5 :.5s s,s.. -. TN 3
The reason for this is more than any
other one thing the difference in the
process Of cleaning, says a leading
critic. In suburban localities, where
the modern professional curtain clean
er Is unknown, it is altogether probable
that the curtains last astlong az ever.
They are carefully washed under. the
personal supervision Of the @housekeep-
er or by her own hands, are put upon
the grass to bleach and when sufficient
~. clear are rinsed and starched, not
too stiff, for that might cause them to
break, but just enough to make them
look new. They are then neatly and
regularly pinned down upon the parlor
carpet and left to- dry with locked
doors to keep out intruders and open
windows to let in the air. When taken
up, they are almost If not altogether
as good looking as new and have suf-
fered little If any injury during the
process. Treated in this way tam
boured lace curtains will last until the
owners are wearied with seeing them
around and get new ones for variety.
The modern process is very different.
The curtain is put into large CAL
dron, with scarcely water enough to
cover it, and is boiled in the strongest
bleaching chemicals. 1t is slightly
rfnsed and stifdy starched. If it is torn
or the threads are broken, section of
net lace is dipped In thick starch or
paste and laid over the broken spot,
which has been partly closed by being
drawn together with very fine thread.
The net Is then pressed upon the cur
tain with such force as to unite them
like one fabric. The curtains are then
dried, folded and sent home to be put
