An American who has recently re-
turned from South Africa tells of the
impression the manner Of the Boer
fighters made upon him. American sol
diers, he said, would follow fighting
with singing and cheering and much
talk about the details of what they had
just gone through. When the Beers
get through with skirmish or bas-
tie they seem to dismiss all recollec-
tion of the matter. They go about
their cooking, sit down TO mend their
clothing. read their Bibles or engage
in some other occupation. Their man
ner indicates that fighting has been
dismissed from their minds immediate
ly after.it is over. Their conversation
was found to have nothing to do with
the war.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat

A new garment, even though hum
BILE, always appeals TO us more than an

To handle ribbon IL an art TO master
which requires patience and pcrsever-
ance. Everybody can tie an ordinary
bow. To make n four-loop bow, do not
tighten the knot, but take first one
end and then the other and rcpass
them through the knot from their re-
spcctiye sides. Then the knot can be
frightened by pulling the original loops.
Many loops OF different sizes may be
made in this way. always repassing
an end through the knot from the
side on which IL is.
To make an elaborate bow, when
you have only one end, Is verys con-
fusing. Make loop and hold II just
where you desire the knot to be. The
end passes around TO form the other
loop and knot. ms usual II will make
il easier to remember that where your
ribbon comes from forms the other
