BRABANT'S MOUNTED TROOPS.
London, April 10.-The force
at Wepener under Rrabant, who
is supposed to have about TWEEN
ty-fve hundred men, is said to
be holding an excellent position.
His columns are made up largely
of mounted troops who are not
adapted to defensive fighting,
but his greatest hindrance is a
lack of artillery.

Remarkable Picture of British Suffer-
ings In South Africa Where Water
Is Worth a Soldiers Life.

London, April 9.-Everybody
remembers the famous picture
of 'Thirst, which portrays the
gaunt, half starved lion in the
midst of the desert, tapping up
the few remaining drops of water
from an impoverished pool.
A correspondent in the Morn
ing Post tells US that though the
British soldier has thirsted IN
the thirstiest corner of the globe
he admits the veldt to be a fresh
experience. Alden, India, Egypt
and the Soudan. But here is
something not hotter, not drier,
nor duStier, but less endurable
for some reasons. 1t is the army
and south Africa together, no
doubt, which is the cause, for
men who have lived in Kimber-
ley, johannesburg, Bloemfon-
tein and Natal, are only now
while campaigning acquiring the
experience. The army keeps up
its inceSsant tramping with the
ceaseless fog of dust that hangs
about its camps. And to that
must be added the compulsory
life in the sun, the sun at it's hot
est and driest hours, The absence
of shade, the parching suction Of
the sand, which is bed, chair and
table.
sit will be quite curious TO live
without a water bottle slung
about ones shoulder. One can
scarcely remember the day when
water was not regarded with
reverence and jealous envy when
it could be made to run clear,
continuous and unrivaled by a
turn of the finger. Here, where
one knows by tired limbs the
weight of what he drinks, the
thought of water running, flow
ing through pipes seems a dream
of Paradise. And such water.
Water through which one could
see, which left no mud at the
bottom of the mug and did not
stain what it was split on. One
remembers that in England they
analyze that kind of water. The
water we drink here is often too
thick to filter. One cannot pump
it through a Berkfelt candle.
"At Ramdam there was a big
pOnd-what was left of moisture
in the dam. One bathed in it
only under the most pressing
compulsion of cleanliness. The
water there was very shallow
but the mud was black and deep.
tOne sank to the knees if one
tried to walk and so sat gently
half in mud and half in brown
syrup and thanked god for water.
One rose from it with the green
leeches hanging about ones body
like bits of seaweed, and with a
sprinkling of less known insects.
Horses looked askance at the
pool, but the men drank of 1t
greedily and drank of it, where
alone they could reach it, where
the horses hoofs had churned it
into blackish green liquor thick
as soup"

CUTS AND BRUISES.


How to Dress Ordinary Wounds.
Dirt In The Eye.
Clean cut wounds, whether deep or
only superficial. which are likely to
easily heal, should be washed with an
antiseptic lotion, and then evenly and
smoothly closed by bringing both edges
together and securing them in that
position by adhesive plaster Cut the
adhesive plaster into thin strips and
fasten on one side of the cut; then,
bringing the parts of the wound to-
gether, edge to edge, fasten the loose
end. Ordinary cuts are easily dressed
in this way, but if the cut be large and
The edges difficult to hold together,
some assistance from a second person
may be necessary.
Tor bruises or black and blue spots''
put on hot water cloths, or, if there is
much pain, hot poultice, renewing
The same every two hours.
Dirt in the eye generally adheres to
the upper or lower lid AS the lower
lid Is the more easily examined it is
well to see if the dirt is adhering to
this part. This is done by standing in
front OF the person, and pressing the
finger upon the flesh on the check bone
and drawing down the skin. Then if
the dirt is in the sight, it can be re-
moved by the moist corner Of a hand
kerchief If the dirt is not on the
lower lid, place match or knitting
needle over the upper lid and by press
ing downward, and at the same time
raising the upper lid, it will be turned
inside out This will expose to view
the offending particle, which may be
removed as before. The eye should
then be bathed in cold water and the
light excluded If the Inflammation is
severe, put on cold tea leaves or
scrapcd potato, or battle in salt and
water.
Painting is caused by a lack Of blood
to the brain, which has been caused by
the stoppage of the heart or the blood
going to some other part of the body.
Place the person who has tainted on

ply smelling salts to the nostrils. Dc

One of the most striking spcctacles
revealed by telescopes is that of the
Great Nebula in Orion. In the com
plexity of its glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses, inter-
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged in
suggestive groups and lines, it has few
rivals in the heavens. The Impression
of astonishment made by the sight of
this nebula is heightened by knowledge
of it's enormous size The entire solar
system would appear as a tiny speck
beside it. Yet this tremendous aggre-
CATION Of nebulous clouds and starry
swarms has been proved by the re-
searches Of the late Professor KeeleF
of the Lick observatory to be flying
away from the earth and the sun at the
rate of IL miles in every second! But

reveal no visual effects of tie great
nebula's swift retreat IL it were near
by, it would seem to become rapidly

IF LOVE BE ONE.

5 The skies are black, The winds are bold,
The road is rough and long,
But what are clouds and stony ways
When hearts are full Of song?
And two there be who walk ife's path
Unheeding wind or weather,
And minding but your merry sprite
Who binds their hearts together.
All ways are smooth, all days are bright,
With him for guide and sun,
And three are always company,
If Love be one!
The road is smooth, the wind is soft,
The sky is clear o'erhead,
But what are pleasant ways and days
To those whose hearts are dead;
And what is song that fills the ears.
But can no farther go;
And what is light that eyes can see,
But souls can never know?
All, two there be that walk life's path
As though they walked alone,
For two are never company
Ii Love be gonel

India, they defaced in this way every

the Ganges during this Invasion and is
now preserved in temple in Benares.

Too Cenerous with Advice.

seems a wanton and avid atrocity.
