In his recent article in THE Daily MALI on the
military operations in the Transvaal. MIR. Easton,
the American correspondent who was with the
Roers makes statements touching the effect of
lyddte shells which altogether at variance
with the ideas existing In England.
/ remarked upon this fact to Mr.. Easton, who
replied that at the beginning of the the Beers
had a terrible dread of lyddite-so much had they
heard of its death dealing propensities But after
experience they entirely changed their views; for,
although lyddte makes terrible hole in the
ground ii has not according to Mr.. EastOns teSti-
mony, proved anything like so deadly as the Brit
ish have imagined.
Il was five weeks outside Ladysmth" said Mr..
Easton. "and during that time hundreds of lyddite
shells fell around the Beers Long Tom But
assure you the Boer losses from British rifle fire
from Ladysmith much greater than the cas-
ualties from these shells.
II picked up many shells after they had burst.
and 1t generally easy enough to reconstruct
them When they struck soft ground they would
break into five six pieces, but if they came into
contact with rock il was not uncommon for them
simply split into two or three pieces.
Mr.. EastOn added that at Modder Spruit the Brit
ish batteries opened such terrific fire the Beers
that it seemed If hell let loose. Yet
through the shells bursting too high for hours no
casualty occurred in the Boer ranks.

THE FIRST TROUSERS.
They Were Invented Centuries he.
fore Christ to Allow Man to
StraddIe q Horse.

According to George MacAdam, who
writes about clothes in St. Nicholas,
the first pantaloons or trousers were
made in Assyria. In the reign of King
Asshurizirpal (ss3-s5s B. CO. horses
were introducedin the army as cavalry.
Here, now, was problem; the caval-
rymen had to have some sort of a uni
form, and it was impossible for him
to wear skirt and ride astride horse.
The tailors to his majesty's armies
wagged their heads a long time over
this problem, and finally decided that
the only way out of the difficulty was
to cut the cavalrSman's skirt from hem
to waistband in both front and rear,
letting each part fall on its respective
side of the horse. As can readily be
imagined, this split skirt made an ex-
ceedingly poor article of clothing.
The law of heredity, however, is full OF
surprises; this humble apology for a
garment was destined to be the father
of the original pantaloons. The mind
of the tailor has ever been small one.
1t is likely that even then, as now. it
took "nine tailors to make man" At
any rate, it took the tailors of Assyria
over a century to solve the problem Of
the horsemen's clothing. 'Why not"
said one of these workers with the
needle and shears, "sew together the
edges of each division of the .ll'rt al

honey will candy or crystalline unless
kept in a temperature above 80 de-
grees, and even then with some kinds
of honey it is difficult to prevent 1t
from candying. This is regarded by
most beekeeperp as test Of its purity.
Honey that has been adulterated with
glucose or other foreign matter as a
rule will not granulate or crystalline
when kept in moderately cool place.
Honey that has granulated may be re-
stored to it's liquid form by placing the
bottle or jar in a pan and setting on
the kitchen stove or range. The pan
should be partly filled with water and
heated slowly until the honey is melt
ed. If melted gradually and only heat

state, it does not injure or impair the

Protection From Mice.


We have seen all manner of expedi-
ents used and advised for protecting
young fruit trees from the attacks Of
mice and rabbits. Shields Of wire net
ting are very efficient for this purpose,
but, besides being comparatively ex-
pensive, they are liable to cut into the
bark and injure the trees fully as much
as the circumvented rodents. In ex-
posed localities, where winds were Sc
we're, we have seen many trees ruined
by this sort Of protection. In the west
ern states cornstalks and newspapers
are often tied about the trunks of
young trees and are generally satisfac-
tory. Smearing the trees with blood,
tar, dendrolene, raupenleim and other
mixtures Is apt to prove disappoint-
ment in various ways. In our own ex-
perience we have found quite as much
success in merely banking up about the
trees with Garth, says Country Gentle
man.
