While cur late dispatches today do not
afford much information in detail as to
events in the Trarsyaal. the impression
they convey is that the Beers are conduct
ing mastery retreat toward the Lyden-
burg Mountains. Roberts has not succeed
ed in capturing any of their artillery on
bis march north from KrOonstad. and they
appear to have carried of their transport
successfully. It seems probable that the
commandos at Laing's Mex. numbering
about ten thousand men, will trek north
and join the Beers retiring from Pretoria
and the Rand. But the latter are reported
as making a strong stand six miles south
Of Pretoria, and may be giving French
and ian HamiltOn a hard fight today. At
the same time any engagement near Pre-

HOW THE BIBLE SELLS.
Its Copyright for SIX Months Would
Enrich q Man to a Remark
able Extent.

Several of the literary magazines
publish lists every month of the most
popular books" said a representative
of large northern publishing house
who was in the city looking after the
southern trade, relates the New Or
leans Times-Democrat "These lists
are compiled from data furnished by
dealers and public librarians at Diff
ferent cities, ano the volume that usu-
ally occupies first place is, of course,
the novel that happens to be the fad
of the day. AS matter of fact, how
ever, none of them have ever printed
the name of the book that is really
most popular and the best seller, not
alone for this month or last month,
but for every month of the year That
book is the Bible. It may surprise
you to know" continued the speak
er, "that the Bible is selling better
to-day than at any time since 1t was
first printed. Last year, from JAM
uary 1, 1899, to January l, 1900, the
American Bible society alone issued
nearly 100000 copies. The exact
figures are 1,42e,so1. OF course, the
society is an immense concern, but
| there are several others in the United
States. and a number in England and
Europe, all turning out nothing but
Bibles. They publish them in every
conceivable shape, from the beautiful
Oxford editions in flexible covers at
$25 apiece down to the little cheap vol
umes in fine print that retail for q
nickel Nowadays a very good, serv-
iceable Bible is sold for 50 cents. II

been enormous, and has run into the

both sides of the water have had a
very marked effect in increasing the
demand for Bibles. You can make a
calculation Of the total force in the
field, both English and American, and
then count on at least one Bible for
each soldier. Some of the boys who
went to the Philippines got upward

THE NEW BOARDER.

others and He Finally En-
IiEhtened Them.

II was after dinner and the boarding
house ladies were holding whispered
symposium in the front parlor on the
subject of the new male boarder, says
the Washington Post.
'sHe is so interesting -looking, don't
you think?" said the giddy Miss Lettat-
post, looking archly at her somewhat
attenuated self in the manteI mirror.
"Maybe he's a poet" and she preened
and famed herself escstatically.
"He looks as if he had some great
sorrow in his life" murmured the tat
little Miss Stillwait, who reads Laura

times week besides couple OF lndn-
vidual sittings with trance mediums.
"Sh-sh!" said the one nearest the
door, warningly, "here he comes no"
from the dining-room."
The new male boarder, who had
been introduced to them all at the
table, walked with some embarrass'
ment into the parlor. AS there was nc
other seat vacant he sat down on the pi
ano stool. Wheeling about on the piano
stool he struck a few barber shoT

THE CHARM OF COUNTRY LIFE
He Who Has Once Lived CAOSe t0
Nature Is Never Lured
Away.

'It is true,' writes Edward Box, in
Ladies' Home journal, presenting the
inestimable advantages of living in
the country, shat the business man
cannot remain at home and do his
work away from the marts. But ne
can do the next best thing-he can
leave the marts behind him at the
close of day and refresh himself by
a complete change of environment.
Even if he does only what some men
seem to deem not worth while-that
is to say, if he only sleeps in the
country-he gains the advantage OF
sleeping in pure atmosphere, which
he never gets and cannot get in the
city. That blessing alone is worth
all to him that it may cost him in
a little longer travel each day to and
from his place Of business. And with
the ever-increasing extension OF rail-
road facilities for suburban living
nowadays, which condition applies to
all our cities, man can, In nearly
every city, reach some suburb almost
as quickly as he can go uptown.
Because it is dark when he gets home
IL no reason why he should refuse
to live in the country, since it is not
a particle less dark when he reaches
his city residence. The truth is that
there is q deal Of objection to sub
urban living in the winter which IL
purely fancied; . truth which thou
sands of men have found out fol
themselves when once they could
make up their minds to make
the experiment. For it is sim
guIar fact that once a man moves
into the country yoke of oxen can
not drag him back intpNa city Ife."

1t is by no means an unimportant fea-
ture of the latest creations that the
trimming often includes ribbons.
There Is every probability that these
are about to take a signal revenge for
the neglect IN which thhy have been
held throughout more than two sea
sons. The ribbon manufacturers are
chiefly responsible for this reaction.
Their new productions, brought out for
late summer and autumn, are in all
ways admirable md deserve patronage,
In the lir4 lal.G stand the warp-printed
lowered ribbons, mostly shown in pom
padour and other delicate combinations
of color on white or very light grounds,
and edged with plain bands or else
fringed. Others, also with light
grounds, and printed in the same way,
with bouquets Of field flowers and
wheat ears, fraits, flowers or foliage
are interviewer with lines OF black scor-
ing the design lengthwise. Plain rib
hons are sometimes divided into bands
Of two colors or shades, with a fringe
on one or both edges. Those with nar-
l9w bands of open work are in much
request. They are made In ribbons of
different textures poagee, foulard,
fetas meryeilleux-an and are self colored.
In the lighter textures they have more
the appearance of bands of material
with fancy hemstitched borders than
ribbons.
4 capeline exhibited is trimmed with
this sort of ribbon, which forms a bow
in front OF the crown and is then passed
through the straw over the ears and
lied under the chin. Black ribbon vel
vet is used for the trimming quilting
that surrounds the edges of the crown
and brim This is in much request in
alb widths, while other ribbons, plain
ane figured, are shown only in me
dium-wide and wide widths. As in
the case of feathers, now and again
the brush comes into play, and plain OF
shaded ribbons are touched up with
body color. Milliners also (this work is
GENERALLY accomplished by them)
sketch out simple outline patterns on
the ribbon and then stitch down loulou
stray braids upon it. A special sort OF
pencil is provided for the purpose
These complicated practices, however,
are seldom worth the time and trouble
devoted to them, which, of course, must
be reckoped at in the price of the hat
After all, a handsome figured ribbon
gives usually far more satisfaction
