THE WAY THE BoERs FIGHT.
Little semblance of Concerted Action
Yet 1t Ii There.

Thomas z. Willard in Scribner's
A Boer charge is destitute Of hurrah and
dash. There is no alignment and little
semblance OF concerted action. Yet the
concerted action Is there. Having been
broadly instructed by the commandments as
to the general object and plan Of the move
ment, the Beers start, moving rapidly
enough while at long range, yet cautiously
too. To conceal himself behind what, to
the ordinary man. would seem ridiculousiy
inadequate cover, is an instinct with the
Boer, born of the veldt and it's ways. Thus
running in a crouching attitude, and keep
ing out of sight as much as possible. the
thin, widely scattered line moves forward
until a point is reached within effective
rifle range of the enemy. Then the real
attack begins. and the peculiar methods Of
the Boer begin to operate.
It will not be movement Of the whole
line but only of small segment. The rest
of the line will support 1t. A certain num-

WASHING THE FACE.
Directions for Doing 1t Thoroughly
and Scientifically.

From Harper's Bazaar.
This matter of washing the face appears
very simple, but 1t is the exception rather
than the rule when it is properly done.
Look at a piece of furniture and note the
amount of dust and dirt it will collect in
few hours, and one may realize the
quantity the face has to receive. 1t not
only gathers up the minute particles Of all
kinds that float about in the house, but
that, too, which is outside. There is an old
tradition that if one would preserve deli
cate complexion. water should not touch
the face. the skin to be cleansed by rubbing
i. with piece of flannel. which might
suffice IL the face were kept in glass
case. The face needs hot water applied
literally to it with the hands. and gener-
ally the use of pure, non-irritating soap
will not come amiss. Wash cloths are Of
ten an abomination. as they are too seldom
free from impurities, and the same state
ment is true of sponges They are left i'm
perfectly cleansed from the soap that has
been used and are dried at the washstand,
when after every use they should be
washed. boiled and hung in the air. l
have often seen faces with muddy skins
dotted with blackheads and pimples because
impurities from wash cloths and sponges
had been rubbed into the skin, to Its infec-
ton.
If the face is oily and filed with fine
blackheads, the latter can be removed by
rubbing them with a soft cloth dipped in
alcohol or in equal parts Of cologne and
water; the latter will cleanse the face bet
ter than anything else. acting upon the
skin as gentle stimulant. The contact of
the fingers with the face seems to have a
vivifying effect. 1t is easy while thus
dashing the water in the face to massage it
and to bring the blood to the surface.
If, however, the face has not been care
fully looked after in the manner described.
If the oily matter has been allowed to col
lect in the glands and enlarge their orifices
and the face is dotted with these unsightiy
Accommodations, the work Of getting rid of
them is no easy matter. Some of the largest
may be rubbed out with the soft cloth dip
ped in cologne and water. especially II the
face is first steamed; but If this method is
not sufficient. those remaining must be
pressed out, one by one, using a watch
key. The hole of the key Is placed over
the point. a quick pressure is made. and
the contents of the gland pushed out. To
aIlay the Irritation the face should be
washed with very hot water after this. and
care should be taken that too many of
the blackheads are not removed at one
time.

Painfully But Not Seriously Injured
(Kinston Free Press.)

We were informed by passengers COM
ing on the east bound train this morn
ing of an accident occurring to Mr.. John
d. Waters, of LAGRANGE Mr.. Waters
intended coming to court here, being
juror. After getting on the train at La
Grange he got the judge to excuse him
from attending court. He then attempt
ed to get off the fast moving train, about
a quarter of a mile from the station.
1t seems he slipped from the bottom
steps of the car platform, still held on
to the iron pieces, it being supposed that
he was fearful of turning loose thinking
he might be thrown under the train. He
was dragged some distance before turn
ing loose, but when he did turn loose
rolled down an embankment. Those on
the train who saw him fall, had the
train stopped as quickly as possible, but
owing to feight cars being between the
passenger coach and engine, there was
no bell cord connection with the engine
and the train had gone several miles be-
fore stopping. The train ran back, but
upon arriving at the scene, a carriage
had been secured from Lagrange, and
Mr.. Waters taken to his home. 1t was
first reported that both legs and arms
were broken, but this is a mistake. He
was very painfully but probably not Sc
riously injured.

TREATY WITH SPAIN SIGNED.
Restoration Of Relations Between United States
and That Government.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, August 21.-Minister Stor-
er at Madrid, informs the State Depart
ment that a treaty of amity, commerce
and navigation and general intercourse
has been signed there. This prac-
tically marks the last step in the
complete restoration of relations be-
tween Spain and the United States
The new treaty modernizes the treaty
relations between the two nations. Prior
to the severance of all communication
upon the declaration of war with Spain,
the two Governments were proceeding
under the terms of a treaty negotiated
in the last century. 1t was very cumber-
some and in some respects wholly inap-
plicable to existing conditions, one pro-
vision for instance relating to trade be-
tween the United States and Florida as
a colony of Spain.
