First Annual Report of Columbian
IntNerstty ImstitutiOn.

The first annual report of the board Of
governors of the Columbian University Hos
pital to the board of trustees Of the uni
versity proper has been submitted. The
hospital has made an enviable record during
its brief existence, and the report demon
strates the excellence Of its work. As an
educational Institution, operated as it is in
connection with the Columbian Medical
College, It is of great practical benefit to
the embryo physician.
In the medical department LOG new cases
were adrnatted rl1irty-nine were cured, for
ty-one improved and six died. In the sur
gical department eighty three new cases
were admitted and fifty-seven were dis
charged, after operation, cured. Five were
benefited by operation and eight died. the
deaths occurring in each instance as the
result of some specific incurable disease.
There were eighteen genealogical cases
admitted and twelve were cured.
Treasurer s. w. Woodward reports the
total receipts during the year as $10,O18.62.
and the total expenses at 81, 1896. 80. leaving
a net deficit for the year OF 81, $50 10. This
deficit is explained by the expenditure Of
nearly 1900 in eauipping the hospital.

The National eSaengerfest.

From a standpoint of general interest
the bronze busts OF Richard Wagner and
Franz Abt are perhaps the most important
features of the preparations which are be-
ing made by theoUnited Singers OF Brook
lyn for the nineteenthnationals singing fes-
tival, which wifi take place in that city
during the first, daysaof July next, under
the auspices of the Northeastern Saenger-
bund, which Organization will celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary Of dts birth at the same
time. More than @, O00 German singers from
ali sections of the northeastern part of the
country are expected to flock to Brooklyn
at that occasion. and this city will furnish
its generous contingent of visitors.
The bust of Wagner, nearly six feet in
height. will be awarded as the first, ana
that of Abt, somewhat smaller IN Its 81
mensions. as the second prize in the con-
test of city and county organizations. Both
busts. in every sense Of the word works Of
high art, have been modelled by the we'll
known German-Ameriean sculptor, Robert
p Golde of New York.

From Modder river

make life unbearable. From Modder river
Mr.. Battershy writes:
when the first shot was fired across the
Modder river the land was green in its way.
1t had at least on 1t a make-believe of
grass, a sparse, dried, MISUNDERSTANDING
heritage, which man and beast accepted as
fodder Now 1t is a blazing red waste OF
sand. The waste extends. the sand is inten-
sif1ed as regiment is added to regiment, bat
talon to battalion. battery to battery, troop
to troop.
The Dust Plague.
THE dust, which vas once a nuisance, is
now little less than a plague. 1t is always
being stirred-by the strings Of horses on
their way to watering, which pass and re-
pass to the river almost every hour of the
day; by the kicking. squealins droves of
transport mules; by the long spans Of
oxen.
1T rises on the stillest days, wikhout
warning. in thin twisting spirals of yellow
sand which take their own way, beautiful
and abominable. across the camp, befoul-
ing everything, upsetting everything that
stands across their course, and reaching
for hundreds Of feet upward into the still
blue sky. But the dust devils are little
more than an amusement to our dust-rld-
den souls. 1t is the dust which comes, not
In dainty spirals, but in overwhelming
clouds, that we fear; which hides. not a
tent here and there. but the entire camp,
the roof Of heaven, all vestige OF the
world: which blinds the eyes brings
blood to the eyeHds, fills the mouth with
its gritty foulness and coats every inch OF
the body with a film of brown: which lasts
not for a few clustering moments, but for
hour after hour Of unrelieved discomfort,
during which 1t Is impossible to ride, TO
write TO forgive ones enemies. Well,
we shall have, please heaven, but few
more days of it now.
The Plague of the Flies.
After the husband but short way
after-the flies. One used to think, as a
child, beside the ice and the blood and the
blains, that the Egyptians were let off
rather lightly with flies. A short stay by
the Modder alters that opinion. The tent
Is black with them, the jam pots hum under
the hand that lifts them from the table,
and the flies pour out between ones fingers
like black spouts Of water. A sudden pyra-
mid of them forms Oh every nlorsel Of food,
and ones hand Is never at rest sweeping
them from ones face. They follow the ink
as one writes in search of some fresh ex
perience. and the pen is clogged with their
severed feet. Beyond doubt, one did the
Egyptians an injustice.
But with the dust and the flies trouble
ceases There are scorpions, no doubt, tar
antulas, lice, and other little things Of the
kind, but these are but incidental worries.
Against them must be set the magnificent
sunlight day after day. the clear, cool
nights, the plentitude of the air.

Mr.. Batterxby'. Experience.

H. F. Provost Battersby. writing from
Orange river to the Morning Post, gives a
still clearer idea of what 1t is to soldier on
the veldt. His dispatch, dated February S,
is in part as follows:
THE sun feels like heated iron held
close to the skin; one cannot hold a piece
of wood which has been lying in it. The
deep, hot. red sand makes intolerable the
soles Of ones boots. and the dust rises at
each footstep and clings to everything that
moves.
ITO and fro in their midst, in trail of
dust that never settles, move continuously
the long. strange trains of transports,
Trucks and horses: open wagons filed with
men. or piled with guns. or with men piled
above the guns like some emblematic car
in a procession; long country carts, half
tented, brimming with camp equipment al
ternating with naval ordnance hooded in
oilskin. or a string of gray pontoons
1.-The sidings are choked with trains load
ed with an army. Progress is maddeningly
slow, for there is but single line from De
Aar to the Modder."

A Spring Morning In Santa Fe.

The man with the least bit of spring
poetry in his soul should HE himself to
the orchards and the gardens in and
around Santa Fe of these sunny
spring mornings. The apricot, peach
and almond trees form pillows of colors,
ranging from snow white to the warm
est pink, which relieve the luscious
green foliage Of apple and pear trees
and stand out against the background
of rich green alfalfa fields. Lilac bushes
throw out their fragrance, and hun
dreds of song birds sing their carols in
the tree tops, while the drowsy hum of
the bees is heard in the rose bushes.
With the blue sky above and the warm
sun rousing all nature into life it is diff
ficult to imagine a more beautiful spot.
The glories of spring have often been
sung in %rapturous strains, but no
tongue or pen has ever done justice to
a spring morning in Santa Fe.
