Service OF French Officers.

Paris, Feb. "a letter from Colonel
de Viliebois Mareuil, General Joubert's
chief of staff, to whom the victory of the
Beers at Colenso is mainly attributed by
the French papers, is published today
The Colonel says that two of the Creu'
sots representatives rendered the Beers
valuable aid. One named rGreundberg,
he adds, Is the head of their artillery, and
the other, Leon, is the head Of their en-
glneers. They directed the hosting of
Long Tom" to the dizzy heights around
Ladysmith and also arranging for the vic
tualling of the camps, which he himself
located.
The writer expresses admiration of the
organization and commissariat arrange
ments of the Beers Gangs. The burghers
he saws, get excellent meat, bread or bis.
cult, coffee, rice, potatoes and other condi-
ments with surprising lberality. He pays
high tribute to the unsuspecied military
capabilities Of the Boer leaders and de-
clared every detail of the Boer organiza-
ton works like clockwolk.

BIRDS WITH BILLS OF STEEL
New Guinea cockatoos Crack Hardest
 Nuts with Ease.

Nuts with EdSes
 A few New Guinea eockatoos, rare
 species in this latitude, have been
 brought to Chicago recently and have
 created much interest by their odd ap-
 pearance and actions. They are as
 large as pheasants and jet black in
 color. The bird is remarkable for it's
 immensely strong bill and the clever
 manner in which it is used. The bill
 is as hard as steel and the upper part
 has deep notch in it. The fayorite
 food Of this cockatoo is the kernel Of tue canary nut, but there is wonderful
 ingenuity required to get at it, for the nut is something like brazil nut, but
 it is ten times as hard In fact, 1t requires the blow of heavy hammer to crack it. It is quite smooth and somewhat triangular in shape. The eoekatoo might throw the nut down. but it would not break, or it might hold 1t in it's claws like the parrots usually do with their food, and at- tempt to crush it, but the smoothness Of the nut would cause it to fly out of the beak. Nature appears to have given the possessor of the wonderful bill some intelligence to direct it's powers. for the eockatoo takes one of the nuts edgewise in it's bill and by carving motion Of it's sharp lower beak makes small notch on it. This done, the bird takes hold of the nut with it's claws, and, biting off a piece of leaf. retains it in the deep notch of the upper part of the bill Then the nut is seized between the upper and lower parts of the bill and is prevented from slipping by the peculiar texture of the leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off a tiny piece of the shell Of the nut. The bird then seizes the nut in it's claws and pokes the long, sharp point of it's bill into the hole and picks out the kernel bit by bit. The coekatoo has 6 very long tongue, which collects each morsel as it is broken off by the bill. This is a wonderful process. for it is quite clear that without the leaf nothing could be done, and it proves how certain structures in birds are made to destroy certain parts of plants.

MICE HAVE A STANDING IN LAW
They Figured in Recent Contest Over
 Land Ownership


 From the Spokane Review: The land-contest case in which a family of mice played 9 prominent part has been decided on the appeal to Binger Hermann, commissioner of the gen eral land office at Washington. The rodents are not mentioned in the deei- sion, but the man whom it was claimed allowed the mice to establish a resi- denee in his bed is allowed to retain possession of lis homestead, the rul~ ing of the local land office being re- Yersed and the contest dismissed A peculiar feature of the case is that when the family Of nice was first men toned it was tended that their presence in the bed of the entryman argued an abandonment of the home stead, and tbs local land office appar- ently took the same view of the mat ter But when the decision was ap~ pealed from it was set up that the presence of the nice was an argument jn favor of the homesteader. Fred o. lfrutt was the entryman, having taken ID homestead near Davenport three years ago. Last August John 0'NeiI instituted a contest to the homestead entry, alleging that Grutt had abanz doRed the claim. did not keep up a continuous residence thereon, and that the only inhabitants of the shanfy on the ranch were family of mice After bearing the case the registrar and =feeelYer decided that Grutt's en- try should be eanee1ed. From this de- eisien Grutt had sixty days in which to file an appeal to the commissioner at Washington. The appeal was filed by Leo Walton, attorney for Grutt. In the appeal the mice family was re ferred to as follows: If there were any mice in this entryman's bed dur ing the early part of September, 1898. it plainly shows that the entryman did have bed on the land 2t the time"

An Old Australian Born Woman Dead

An Old Australian Born Woman Dead.
 One of the oldest Australian born members Of the fair sex died the other day in Sydney at the age of 92. She was born in sydney in 1907, and in 1923 was married, at the age of 16, to a leading colonist. She has left behind her 12 children, 72 grandchildren, 146 great grandchildren and 10 great great-grandchildren making a total of 40 souls. She WAS the daughter of one of the first twins born in the colony, which makes her one of the second generation, while her descendants 20 down to the sixth generation Of Aus- tralian-born. The old lady had a good memory, and was able to tell many stories of olden time in Sydney, for when she was born the present streets of Sydney were but tracks, and the suburbs wild bush, while the back country, where now there are great cities and towns and all the develop. i ments of civilization, was terra in- cognita to the white man. The colony was only nineteen years old when the deceased lady first saw the light.

The girl made worlds record, for no child has ever accomplished the feat before in such a short time The child is not large for her age, nor does she seem to have muscles developed to a much greater extent than other girls as young as she, but it is the opinion of all that if she keeps at the game she will in time be one of the greatest fe- male swimmers in the world George Gaidzik lowered another worlds mark for boys under Is years old when he swam two miles in 1:12:15. The record was formerly held by Ralph Uhlendorf, who made the same dis tanee in 1:14:29 9-5.

Washington special Minneapolis Journal: One of the most remarkable things on the North Pacific coast is the large number Of halibut in Alaskan waters. Small steamers catch cargoes in few hours time, and it is nc strange thing to see a hundred thou sand pounds caught in from two to three days. Last month an Ameri- can steamer on her way to Tacoma had 133.000 pounds of halibut caught off the Alaskan coast in three and half days by eighteen men.

And the living power giving him the whole

For the Risen One from prison of the grave came
forth King

And the fearful, coming fearful, saw the Angel,

HE who slept here is not kept here; he hath

Of their JOY,
And their sadness leaped to gladness that no

So the event of that moment to all people comes

In the stories and the glories of the messages of

And the yearly anthem clearly sounds the resur-

And the yielded soul is shielded in the Christ
life's holy calm!

CLEAN AND PURE

named Jeanne, who was beloved Tor
her many virtues by both rich and
poor. She used to visit the novels of
the unfortunate and the sick, to relieve
their troubles and care for their dis
tresses, for which she received their
blessings and devotion.
One Easter morning, when returning
from early mass, Jeanne met an old
beggar woman, who asked for aims.
Jeanne gave her what she had, and
the stranger peered through her ragged
hood at the pretty young girl, saying:
Beautiful damsel, do not disdain the
gift Of a poor beggar. Take this egg
and before this day II months a young
and handsome nobleman will ask for
you in marriage. You will become 4
great lady. On your wedding day
command you to break this egg. 1t con-
tains a nuptial present.
Not far from this village rose the tur-
rets of an old castle, which had long
remained untenanted. but within this
year young knight arrived at it's
gates, proclaimed himself heir to the
estate, and refurnished it's bare and
shabby rooms.
The lord Of the castle chanced one
day to see Jeanne, and, dazzled by her
beauty, sought her mother, saying that
Sir Robert de Volpiac asked for her
hand in marriage.
The day was arranged for the we'd
ding. which was celebrated in the
chapel Of the castle in the presence of
the bridegroom's aristocratic friends.
When the feast was ended and all
the guests had departed, the bells of
the tower tollede out the - booming
strokes of midnight.

and told him its history. he begged her
to wait until morning.
Jeanne, however, would not listen to
his entreaty, and lifted the egg from
its place. 1t was burning hot. With
cry she let it fall, and it broke.
An enormous toad leaped out of the
broken shell. vomiting flames, which
set fire to the curtains, and the wicked
tongues Of fire soon spread from wall
to wall. until the whole castle was en-
veloped.
The next day there was nothing left
but heap of ashes, for the entire cas-
tie burned, and all it's inmates perish
ed, through the gift Of that fatal Eas-
ter egg from the hands Of an evil spirit.
