chtness Methods.

The Chinese way of telling time is
the oldest of all. Some travellers IN
Chinn asked a farm lad whom they
met on the road IL 1t was yet noon.
He looked up at the sky to see what
progress the sun had made. but there
were clouds in the way Then he ran
to the farm and soon returned with Il
surprised looking cat In his arms.
Pushing up her eyelids, he said that
the morning was not yet ended.
This was a great puzzle to the
strangers, who could see no connec-
tion between cats eyes and the time
of day, and, going on the farm, they
asked the inmates to explain the mat
ter.
The Cinnamon thought their visitors
woefully ignorant, but they obligingly
hunted up all the cats in the neigh
borhood, and, having caught three or
four, showed that the pupils of their
eyes narrowed by degrees until II
o'clock, when they became merely n
hair line extending perpendicularly
across the eye. The noon mark once
crossed, they as slowly dilated again.
While not disputing the facts of the
case, the travellers decided that, as
you had first TO catch your cat, and
then examine its eyes against its will,
this method took great deal of time
to find out what o'clock 1t was.

OF .Iaen, three miles northeast of San
Isidro. province of New Ecijn. Garcia
personally directed the guerilla opera
tons, and General Funston had spent
weeks in trying to capture him, several
companies beating the whole country

messengers bearing Garcia orders. The
people protected him.and burned signal
lights wherever the American soldiers
appeared. Recently General Funston

leaped through the windows and es-
capped, leaving their papers and every

farewell to General Otis, will return

Vet River, Nay 8.-General Pole
Carew started at daybreak yesterday
on a nineteen-mile march. He first
came in contact with Beers holding the
river at o'clock p. m. The British
soon had two batteries in action and
later he added two naval nlne-pound-
ers, two AZ and five-inch siege guns.
The Beers fired with great accuracy,
and the duel continued unabated, with
n terrible din, until sunset, and even
later there was desultOry firing. 1t Is
marvellous that nobody on the British
side was injured.
General Hutton started early to find
the drift on the west.
When this was discovered 1t proved
to be strongly held and protected by
two guns. The British speedily en-
gagged the Beers, who entilnded the
dismounted firing line with a Maxim,
but General Hutton pushed forward
and forced the Beers to leave the river
bed.
The encounter was terribly hot.
Later the whole British force crossed
the river, threatening the BOer right.
The Beers must have received about
the same time news of General Ham,
ilton's occupation Of Winburg.
About sunset Il detachment of twen-
ty-siX Australians. who had crcpt un-
seen toward the river bed, found them
selves near II kopje occupied by the
Beers. After firing they fixed bayo-
nets and charged, capturing the kopje.
All was done on their own Initiative.
Thus night fell. Early this morning
1t was discovered that the whole Boer
force had fled.
General Hutton during the night got
two squadrons to blow up the line
near Swalsdel.
The British discovered yesterday at
every hundred yards along the railroad
concealed small packets of high explo-
sives. The Beers had destroyed three
bridges over spruits between here and
Brnndfort. but In every case 1t was
possible to make n detour
The Beers appear to be fighting with
