Venturous Spirit Happy.
Central America Is the only place
on this hum-drum hemisphere where
life still runs red" sighed a young
gentleman who holds n very good posi-.
tion In a Poydras street commission
house. "It is the last ditch of ro-
nance, the one spot where the sword
is mightler than the pen. wish /

Y-e-es, life is very strenuous In
Central America" said the head book
keeper, who speaks Spanish and
smokes brown paper cigarettes. 81
went down there once myself and
opened n general merchandise store
tother side Of Chlqulmula. My stock
consisted chiefly of whiskey and cart
ridges, which were the two articles
most in demand in that part of the
country, but 1 also carried small side
lines OF tobacco, sardines and fancy
percale shirts.
zone day big niger came into the
store, smoked what was left of the
tobacco, ate the last six boxes of sar-
dimes and put on all the fancy per-
Gale shirts, one on top Of the other.
Then he introduced himself as Gen.
eral Tomasso Somebodyorother, and
told me to charge the bill to the army
Of liberation. While we were arguing
about the matter detachment of gov
ernment troops came up looking for
my colored friend, and blew the roof
off the store with a small shell from
mountain howitzer. The general
went one way and I went the other,
but we both got caught. and the COM
mandant promptly put me under ar
rest for harboring n notorious rebel.

The scoundrel had on all my percale
shirts at the time he was giving his
evidence, and l was so mad couldn't
talk coherently.
"Still. l think would have been

1t may be question whether the editor

recommend any OF the various proprietary
medicines which food the market, yet as "A
preventive of suffering we feel II duty To-
say n good word tor Chamberlain's Coic,
Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have always
found II reliable. In many cases dose of
this remedy would save hours Of suffering

believe In depending implicitly on any

that If a bottle of Chamberlain's Diar.

SUPPLY OF SHINGLES.
II Comes Largely From New Bruins,
wick and Quebec.

Formerly all shingles made in the
East were split from blocks and
shaved by hand with a draw-knlfe.
Klose used in Maine, New Hamp-
sAisr and part Of Massachusetts were
EssSs OF shaved cedar, sixteen inches
g. In other states eighteen inch
Shingles were used. In the shingle
machines then made the saw struck
the bolt at the end, saving lengthwise
OF the block. This made n rough sur
face on the shingles. which was said
10 hold the water and made them rot
quickly. In 1863 there began to come
into use machines made i'm Gardiner
and Bangor, Me, which cut the block
on the side instead of the end. The
shingles sawed In this way had n sur.
face almost as smooth as If shaved.
and were of the same thickness.
These machines caused "A revolution In
the manufacture Of shingles. AS the
demand increased and cedar became
scarce in southern Maine, manufact-
urers began TO move toward the great
northern forests.
The Phoenix mill, In Fredericton,
New Brunswick, was changed from
n long lumber mill and sixteen ma
chimes were put in that cut 22i,000
shingles a day. In 1883 this mill
passed into the hands OF an American
company from Calais, which erected
a mill in EdmunSton, New Brunswick,
with seven machines. The logs for
the Phoenix mill are cut I'm Aroostook
John River. In May. 1883, the first
shingle mill I'm northern New Bruins
wick saving for the American market
began operating at Dalhousie. The
owner now has mills at Cabano and
Notre Dame du Lac In Quebec.
The cedar forests remaining in this
part Of the continent are In Aroostook
county, Me. the northern counties OF
New Brunswick and the counties OF
New Brunswick, Rimouski, Bonaven-
ture and Gaspe, in Quebec. Here
cedar grows large, and there are more
trees 20 the acre than further south.
1t IL found on the high land as well
as IN the sWampS. IN Nova Scotia
cedar does not grow. In southern
New Brunswick there is not enough
left TO supply ties for the local rail-
roads. The locations named are the
last OF the cedar forests. and these are
being rapidly denuded 20 supply
shingles and railroad ties, and In
few years all will be cut. Good cedar
lands should soon become valuable,
as the area is so limited.
The low price or sixteen inch
shingles has caused them TO be used

IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The rush of armed Beers in the di-
rection of General Roberts line of
march indicates that General Joubert
hopes to defeat the main body of the
British and then, if that is done, to re-
turn towards the Tugela and fall on
Butler in overwhelming force. If the
garrison left in the hills confronting
Butler can hold him back and prevent
a junction with Roberts, the Beers
may be able to concentrate as many
men in the Free State and as many
guns as Lord Roberts can bring to
bear. Such force operating from the
stronghold of Bloemfontein as a base
might do a great deal of mischief. How
much remains to be seen.
If Roberts can push forward unin-
terruptedly in pursuit of Cronje he
may be able to cut that commander off
and gain the-k key of the Pretoria high
road. But we have hints that the
British commander, depending as he
does upon supplies by rail from Cape
/ Town-a line of communication now
/ threatened by the enemy-wiTl be COM
PEELED to move cautiously and detach a
large force to protect his base. In that
event there is a chance that the main
body of Beers may concentrate and do
their work.
Fortunately, any battle that may be
| fought outside the defenees of Bloem-
fontein and south of the Transvaal
mountains will give the British
chances of success they have never en-
joyed in this war before. The Free
State is mostly plain like that OF
Kansas and Nebraska, and therefore a
place where victory in battle is chief
ly a question Of numbers and general
ship. The Beers will not longer be
able to hide in the hills and deliver q
plunging fire from their hiding-places
They must show themselves and take
chances. In warfare of that sort Lore
Roberts and his men are at home and
need not fear the best troops OF tn,
world-let alone the half-guerrill,
