exact number be ascertained. 1t is prob

shot for vandalism.
The ruins of the heavier brick build

dead, and there is large number in

marks the site of the Lucas terrace

killed outright and their bodies are still

WHERE NEWS is SCARCE.
A Colony Shut Off from the Outsid

A Colony Shut Off from the Outside
World.
For the first time in two years the
little English colony on the island or
Tristan d'Agunha is to receive news of
the outside world, says the Philadel-
phia Times. The Penguin recently took
cut an expedition to the neighbOring
islands, and VIII call at Tristan with
mails, parcels and such articles Of
luxury as charitable people felt in
clined to send.
The island used to be regularly Wis
tied by her majesty's ships of war.
But its positiOn-between Africa and
South America, fOrty-fve days steam
from EngliA1d-made the journey a
very expensive one, especially now
steam alone is used on cruisers. Sail
ing vessels, too, once made it a place
of call; but the increase of steamships
has robbed the island of this means of
communication. So it comes about

One of the things most needed by this

CHAPTER XIV

In due time the column came to halt
and real camp life commenced. 1t was
duh work enough; this waiting for orders
to move to the front was trying to those
who, to use their own phraseology, were
eager to be talking to the natives"
There was nothing to be done but grin
and bear it, and the time was put in in
mending kits, making forays for food on
Kahir kraals and Boer farms, cutting
wood. and grumbling-there is a great
luxury in a good grumble. Captain Bra
bazon and Gee had pitched their little
tents side by side, and were almost as
much together as in the old days.
The nights were cold, the dew was
heavy, and white, chill fogs of constant
occurrence. Visiting the outposts and
pickets was a duty that fell to Captain
Brabazon about once week. Between
eleven and twelve o'clock one night he
was going round the sentries in a dense
fog which had come on quite suddenly
and obscured the moon most completely,
swathing every object in a cloak of thick,
white mist.
II heard a noise just now, sir" said
one of the sentries, in a lonely spot;
something like a lot Of men on horses
trampling below US in the valley. There
it goes again." and, sure enough, Miles
made out the uncertain scrambling of
hoofs, scattering stones hther and thith-
er as they made their way up the hill.
"Challens>>" he said, promptly.
Halt! who goes thereY demanded the
sentry, in one long word, bringing his
rife to the charge.
And out OF the fog q bold English voice
replied, "a friend"
Stand, friend; advance one, and give
the countersign."
And very shortly a trotting sound was
heard through the Soppy grass, and from
the midst of the surrounding milk-white
fog suddenly loomed man and horse,
lancer officer-in short, Teddy! Oh, hap
py Teddy! lieutenant at last, though the
glories of your uniform are concealed be-
meath a cape, and the water is streaming
from your helmet, and your very mus
tache is limp and wet.
"Are these the outposts of the Royal |
Marchers?" he asked, in a CHEEKY voice,
as he reined up his charger.

''Tve been rambling over the whole |

LESSON IN MARKETING.
It Is Quite as Important to Know
What to Buy as to Cook.

It Is Quite as Important to Know
What to Buy as to Cook.
Good beef should be bright red wher
it is first cut, and this red flesh sboulC
be well marbled with yellOwish fat
with a thick layer of fat on the out
side. If it does not present this ap-
pearance you may be quite sure either
. that the OK was not well fatted, OF
was too young, or was not in good con
ditiOn. The flesh should be firm, and
no mark should be left when it is
pressed with the finger. The suet
should be dry and crumble easily.
The first step in demonstration is to
cut the beef into the hind and fore
quarters. The hind quarter contains
the finest and most expensive cuts Of
the meat. Here are found the sirloin,
the tenderloin, the rump and the round.
The cheapest portions of the hind quar-.
ter are the shin and the flank. In the
fore quarter are the ribs, the shoulder,
the skin, the rattle round and the
brisket. The ribs are the top of the
back nearest to the loin: in fact, they
join it when the animal is whole. The
first ribs are what are called the
prime ribs; these are used for roasts
or steaks; the next are the five chuck
ribs lying between the prime ribs and
the neck; the meat is of a tougher quail
ity than on the prime ribs, although
they are used for the same purposes.
The neck is used for beef teas for
stews and for boiling. Below the rib
cuts, running along the side Of the ami.
NAL, is the rattle round. This is used
for corning. The under part of the
animals body is called the brisket, and
this also is used for corning. The
shoulder is used for steaks and corn.

Queen of All Necklaces.

The most magnificent and costly

of them, valued at some 100000, was
sold to the Countess by a Spanish
grandee, and is known as the neck

necklace worn by the Empress Eugene
