Mrs. Joubert at Mnjuba.

Boer women are described as not one
whit less patriotic in the present war
than their husbands, and the story of
how Mrs. Joubert actually won the
battle of Majuba hill is an illustration
of the active patriotism they have more
than once displayed, remarks Golfers
Weekly. When the English were steal
ing upon the Beers at Majuba hill it
was Mrs. Joubert who first discovered
them and FASTENED to arouse her sleep
ing husband. Gen. Joubert was fast
asleep, and he refused to believe that
the English had got by the pickets
without the alarm being given. 1t was
not until Mrs. Joubert actually pulled
him out of his bed, and made him see
the enemy with his own eyes, that he
would admit the truth of her words.

Gambling ON Rain

The English government has recent
ly prohibited in India the peculiar haz-
ard game called ''Barsa lxa sarta." This
game cannot be played, except when
1T rains; for, in fact, it consists in
betting on the date of rain and the
quantity that may descend from the
skies. On all the porticos, or "altans,"
as they are called in India, there are
certain tubs introduced which have
n perpendicular pipe in their centers,
the pipe being provided with equal
division marks or notches. The point
of the game is to determine in advance
just at what time a certain height
will be reached by the water. The
natives have pursued this method Of
gambling with such passion that quar-
rels, and dangerous ones, often re-
suited, and hence the ruling OF the
English government to make the plav
illegal.-N. Y. Herald.

Many Mind Rus.Inn.-

Statistics which have just been COM
piled show that of the 100000 totally
blind persons in Europe 49,, 900 are ma
tives of Russia, and this means that
out of every 500 subjects of the car
there is one who is deprived of sight.
In no other country do we find this
terrible affection by any means so
widespread. In Germany, France.
Great Britain, Italy, and Spain there
is only one blind person in every 900
inhabitants. Russian ocuIists and
physicians say that the reason why so
many of their countrymen are blind
and so many others have defective eve
sight is because insufficient attention
is paid throughout the country to the
ordinary laws of hygiene, and they
maintain that Russians will continue
to suffer in this way as long as they
keep themselves and their homes in.

cultivated loyliness after it has been
devastated and laid waste by some
monstrous cataclysm, after it has been

my natural reluctance to approach
within the circumference of that de-

hailed. All the buoyancy of my young
spirit shrank from the contagion of her
misery.
She had been probably in youth
somewhat above medium height, but
her spare form had so yielded to the
crushing weight of adversely that she
was bowed and bent almost to de-
formity. One would have taken her
for n dwarf at a casual glance. Her
face sti1 preserved traces of once
marvellous comeliness, and this very
suggestion of former beauty. dis.
figured and despoiled as 1t was, marred
her counternance far more deeply than
native ugliness would have done. Her
features were as small and regular
as those of French doll; her eyes,
originally blue, were now, through
constant weeping, quite devoid of
color. Her cheeks, of CHASTITY white
ness, had so long been the mere water
courses of her tears that they were
ploughed with lines worse than the
wrinkles of extreme age. All this was
repellent enough, but the most repuls-
i've feature of her personality was the
strange incongruity that existed be-
tween her SCARED and pallid counter
ance and the glorious mass OF golden
hair that rippled riotously back from
her scanned brow. have never in my

dowed her with gentle, perhaps plain

raucous whisper, which increased the
repugnance with which she inspired
me.
