AN OLD BOER BIBLE.
Typography OF a Volume, Nearly
Three Hundred Years Old.

Boston Globe: Perhaps the only copy
of the Boer bible In the country Is In the
possession of Peter NJ. Campbell, of Dem
yer. The bible is In the Dutch language
and was published in the Netherlands, as
is announced in the preface, In l6ls. Mr.
Campbell, who Is the son of Sir Duncan
Campbell, of Scotland, came into pos
session of the volume some eighteen
years ago, at the time of the first Boer
war. lie was acting as a newspaper cor
respondent at the time and remained In
the Transvaal for five years. -.
During his residence there he bought
the book from a minister OF the gnspeI
named Hoxmeyre, who gave the foilow-
ing account of its history: =
The book was for a long period OF
years in the.Jubert or Joubert family, OF
which the noted General Joubert was q
noted member 1t was brought TO cape
Town by the first band OF Dutch emil
gralIs and was the second book ever
taken to South Africa. The book itself,
aside from its history, is interesting as a
specimen Of bookmaking. 1t Is a huge
volume, about twelve inches. wide, eigh-
teen inches long and seven inches thick
bound in calf and the backs are boards
half an inch thick and beveled at the
euPes. The corners are bound with heaVy
brass pieces In front and at the. back. IL
Is held closed by two massive brass
In Typography the volume, though near
ly 800 years old, is excellent. There are
ornamental letters at the beginning OF
each book and ornate tail pieces.
One of The queer customs OF former
times-that of representing biblical char
acters clad in the fashion of the time
the book was printed-is shown in several
striking instances.
In the illumined letter at the beginning
Of Genesis. Adam and Eve are repre-
scented surrounded by animals-lions ele-
plants, chicken and ducks. Adam Is
wearing a long mustache and Vandyke
beard, such as were in fashion among
courtiers fer the seventeenth century. A
tree I'm the same picture is represented
with a large branch sawed off.

ASSISTANT ARMY SURGEONS.
Surgeon General Urges That They
he Commissioned.

bt
Washington, April 16.-The secre-
tary Of war has forwarded to con
gress with his approval the draft of n
bill prepared by Surgeon General
%Sternberg providing for the appoint
ment of contract surgeons who have
rendered one years faithful and salts
factory service in the army of the
United States as assistant surgeons OF
volunteers, with the rank of first lieu
tenant. The bill providing for such
appointments after the usual cXamin-
alton ms to physical and professional
qualifications, and the officers so com
missioned are to be subject to honor
able discharge when their services are
no longer required. The bill also pro-
vidcs for the promotion of such as
sistant surgeons with the rank of cap
tain, after two years faithful and sat
isfactory service. General ~Sternberg
has written a letter to the secretary or
wal urging the enactment of the pro-
posed Legislation during the present
session of congress, both in the inter
est of the service and as a matter OF
justice to n large number of contract
surgeons who are now in the service
and upon whom to n large extent, he
SAYS, devolves the duty of caring for
the sick of our armies in the United
States, in Cuba, in Puerto Rico, in
Alaska and in the Philippines. The
acting assistant surgeons now in the
service, says Sternberg, have been
carefully selected and have all been re-
CURED to undergo examination ms to
their physical and professional quail
ications. They have all the response
bilities of commissioned medical otfi-

number of volunteer surgeons thirty-

few have any prospect of being com"

AIways Has Pins in His Mouth.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune:
Upper S~andusky, Ohio,-A young
man from Carey went into the Office
of DR.. j. Nichols yesterday TO have a
tooth drawn. The doctor had taken
hold of the tooth with his forceps,
when he noticed something in the
Young mans mouth. lie removed the
forceps and asked what if was.
Pins said the young man, who
then took from his mouth n bunch
of nine pins. He said he always has
more or less pins in his mouth; has
them when he sleeps and when he
eats and drinks and when he chews
tobacco. He says he can put a dozen
in his mouth and leave them there for
a month. Sometimes he swallows one,
but it never causes him any harm.

DALGETY'S GALLANT FIGHT.
Bocr Attacks Are RepuIsed With
Heavy Loss.


London, April 16.-The Times has
dated April ~:
Colonel Dalgety's force has been
surrounded by some thousands OF
poms' and two maxims, since Monday
morning. They have CALAMITY with
stood a heavy attack on Monday and
again a night attack on Tuesday, and
on Thursday there was a continuous
shell and rifle fire.
1--WE are confident of being able to
repulse any attack. Food is plentiful.
Our casualties, considering the cir
cumstances, are small The brunt OF
the fighting and also of the loss has
been borne by Cape mounted rife
men,"
The Bloemfontein correspondent Of
the Times, telegraphing Friday, says:
Everything is going satisfactorily.
Owing to the enemy's enterprise a
necessity has arisen for n movement
in the northeastern direction, and for
strategic reasons troop trains have
monopolized the railway for n short
period, but the Boer raids are only
what was anticipated as the result of
the halt in our main advance.
"Wc in Bloemfontein are full of
great admiration for the calm front
with which headquarters has received
these incidents.
Half of tho object of the enemy
has failed since Lord Roberts has re-
fused to be drawn into complications,
but has fostered the enemy's enter
prise, making dispositions to check
mate it almost without BlOemfontein
being aware that movements of the
troops have occurred"
Bloemfontcin, April 13.-Accounts
received here of the fighting of the
troops under Colonel Dalgety at
Wepener show the Beers attacked
them vigorously, but were repulsed
with great loss. The Beers subse-
quently relinquished the attack and it
is said here they are returning north
ward.
London, April 1.-THE war Office
has received the following dispatch
from Blocmfontein, April -:
"The enemy's move south has been
checked. Wepener is still surrounded,
but the little garrison is holding out
well. Troops are being moved to
their assistance.
"rhc health of the troops is good
and the climate perfection"

CHATTER XIII.

The day is near; the darkest hour that
presAges the dawn has come, and still every
one IS dancing, and talking, and laughing,
and some are alluring, by the aid of smiles
and waving fans, the hearts of men.
Kit Beresford, In spite of her youth and
her closely-cropped head,-which, after all,
Is adorable in many ways,-has secured, all
to her own bow, young man from the
Skillereen-Barracks "a meager town to the
west of Rossmoyne). He is a UeTU young,
Young man, and is by this time quite bon
cdndrade with the sedate Kit, who Is
especially lenient with his shortcomings,
and treats him as though he were nearly as
old as herself.
Monica is dancing with Mr.. Ryde. To do
him Justice, he dances very well; but
whether Monica is dissatisfied with him, or
whether she is tenderly fegretful Of the fact
that at this moment she might just as well
or rather better-be dancing with another,
cannot say but certainly her fair face Is
clothed with a pensiye expression that
heightens its beauty In a considerable de-
gree.
Look at that girl Of Priscilla Blake's,"
says Madame O'Copnor, suddenly, who is
Standing at the head Of the room, surround
I'd, as usual, By young men. Look at her.
Was there ever such a picture? She Is like
A martyr at the stake. That intense express
sion suits her"
Brian Desmond Pushes q little, and Kelly
comes to the rescue.
"a martyr" he says. II don't think
Rydc would be obliged to you ii he heard
you. ! should name him as the martyr, II l
were you. Just see how hopelessly silly
mean, sentimental-he looks"
Yet ] think she fancies him." says Lord
R~osSmoyne, who is one Of those men who
are altogether good, respectable, AND dense.
Nonsense !" says Madame OConnor, in
dignantly. What on earth would she fancy
that jackanapes for, when there are good
men and true waiting for her round every
cOrnCr?'
As she says this, she glances whole vol
umes of encouragement at Desmond, who,
however, is so depressed by the fact that
Monica has danced i've times with Ryde,
and is now dancing with him again, that he
gives her no returning glance.
AT this apparent GOODNESS on his part, the
blood of all the kings of Munster awakes In
Madame O'Connor's breast.
"pon my conscience" she says, II
wouldn't give a good farthing for the lot OF
you, TO let that girl go by! She came into

FAITH IN ROBERTS.
London Military Men Think Bobs Is
'Laying" for the Beers.

London Military Men Think Bobs Is
Laying for the Beers.
London, April 16.-1n a roundabout
way London hears that Lord Roberts,
when wiring to the prince of Wales at
Copenhagen congratulations on his es-
cape from assassination, added two or
three sentences indicating an early
advance with wide reaching conse-
quences.
Quiet assurances are passed around
among military men that Lord Rob-
erts is employing his great army eff
fectively and that adventurous Boer
commandos are likely to be enmeshed.
Sir Alfred Miner, addressing a dep
utation of clergymen in Cape Town
yesterday, said:
Never again must be the motto
of thinking and humane men. but not
from lust of conquest or n desire to
trample on the gallant if misguided
foe. There must be no compromise
or patchwork in the settlement, and

no opportunity for misunderstanding,
intrigue or the revival of impossible
ambitions, or the accumulation OF
enormous ornaments.
THE British will no longer tolerate
dissimilar and antagonistic political
systems in a country which nature
and history have declared to be one"
In these absolute utterances of Sir
Alfred Miner he speaks for the inn
perial government.
1t is calculated that Lord Roberts
now has $4,000 effective troops, with
1000 more afioat or under orders.

Pretoria, April 16.-United States
Consul Hay, in an interview had here,
says the report that Captain Reich
man, the United States military at
tache, participated in the fight near
Sannas post, is absolutely false.
Reichman, it is said, was occupied
most of the time attending upon the
wounded Dutch military a%ttache,

Hay has no doubt that Refchman has
been COMPOUNDED with the American
Lieutenant Loosberg, of the Free
State artillery, who took a very active

Mr.. and Mrs. Dewc,'s First Quarrel

W. +. Curtis in Chicago Record: Adj
miral and Mrs. Dewey have had their
first quarrel. The bride told a party
of her friends about it Saturday, and
every one in town will know it before
tomorrow night. 1t began by the adj
miral insisting, as all men do on occa-
sion, that his wife wear rubbers. She
refused to do so because il made her
feet look so large and clumsy, and
they disputed until both grew very
much excited, when the admiral de-
clared that if Mrs. Dewey did not wear
her rubbers he would no longer take
n tonic that the doctor had prescribed
for him at her suggestion. With tears
in her eyes she surrendered and has
worn rubberS ever since.

A tumbled mass of fluff and flowers,
With colors deity harmonized-
No doubt the work of many hours.
A marvellous, unwieldy thing,
Topped with a dashing ostrich feather,
A structure that no man would wear,
And only fit for pleasant weather.
