BUTLER HANDICAPPED.
BY DIFFICULTIES OF TRANSPOR-
TATION AND THE KNOWLEDGE
THE BOERS HAVE OF
THE COUNTRY.

New York, Jan. 9.-The Herald discuss
ing General Buffers predicament, says:
The Tugela river the two fords across
whose earthworks fully command them
and who are further defended by barbed
wire entanglements, entertainments ex-
tending from Springfield almost due west
to Mount Inhlwae, about due east Of Co
lenso, which have been described as Offer
ing front Of sixteen miles nearly as
strong as the works which defended
Plevna. Under European officers these
defenses are said to have been brought to
immense strength with railway lines for
the rapid movement of cannon from point
to point as the exigencies Of attack may
demand.
Besides these Butler is still handicapped
by the great difficulties of transportation
and the tack of mounted men which
makes his column heavy and unWieldy
in comparison to the extreme mobility Of
his opponents. Latest estimates place the
numerical strength Of the British and
Roer forces at $4,000 infantry, and $500
mounted men, 1000 artillery and seventy
guns under Butler and 1880 mounted
men, 1,500 artillery and sixty guns in Gem
eral Jouberts command.
,
the river and the difficulties of ordinary
transportation, to say nothing of a rapid
turning movement may answer the ques-
tion of the American attaches and many
others as to whether there was not way
round, they apparently fail to account
fully for Buffers failure to destroy the
enemys works ON the south of the river
Reports have shown that there are
strong Boer positions on the south of the
Tugela, both at Springfield and on Mount
1nhiwae. It was from the latter point
that the forces under Lord Dundonald
suffered most severely in the battle of
Colenso on December Is. General Butler
has been severely criticized for failing
then to concentrate an attack on that
stronghold in an attempt to cut off it's
force from the main Boer body There
has been no information since to account
for that failure or the absence of a SINH
lar effort since that time.
It was from Mount Inhlwae that the
British were outilanlied and the effective
ne SIS of their batteries destroyed, leading
to the loss of their guns.
With his present force 1t would appear
that only lack OF mobility is holding Bull
Ter in check and how that condition is to
be changed for the better is not apparent

San An.onio's ciin, te.

Coming from the home of biting east winds and winter climate, the at mosphere of San Antonio is veritable paradise. The city is located in south western Texas. is about 500 feet above the sea level, and is delightfully situ- ated, with a range of hills extending completely around the town. The weather is delicious too cold fn winter, and, during the summer, while it is hot enough in the day time, the evenings are always cool. According to signal service reports taken during , series of years. the average number of days in the year during any portion of which the thermometer falls to the freezing point is 14. It is rare thing to have frost before November or later than April.

Kitchener in schos,.

Dr. Butler, the present master of Trinity college, Cambridge, may be re- garded as the man who exercised the most influence on Lord Kitchener's career. It was found, upon the death of his father, that the family resources were so srraitened that it would be difficult to keep the future hero of Om- durman at Harrow school. Dr. But Ter. who was then the head master of the school, wanted to know why such clever lad was leaving. He was frankly told, and replied: 'eThe boy will reflect honor on the school; he must stay here. There will be nc charge. I will only request that he may not be told of this arrangement at present. as 1t might break his high spirit "-New York Press.

CLEANLINESS WITHOUT SOAP.
That the Boers Don't Use It Doesn't
 Prove They're Dirty.

1 AuAt tDs DUCTS OoHb 1so 15 CosssA v l Prove They're Dirty.
 Surely too much importance Is at tached to the scarcity Of soap in the
 Boers' farm houses, says the Loadon
 Truth. People may be very clean and
 use very little soap. The Russians and l Japanese cleanse themselves with va
 DOT baths, rarely using soap when they
 do so. A really healthy skin cleenses itself. Rough inside clothing, which.
 l presume, the Boers wear, is a great
 curing skin diseases by insisting on l lingerie de luxe being cast aside and coarse undergarments worn instead. l The late emperor of the French hard i ly ever saaped his hands until he went 1 to England. I have come across a pa- per found in his desk at the Tuileries. It contained the instructions of the king of Holland to the governor of his two elder sons Among the things for bldden was for the young princes hands to be washed with soap. They were to use bran and slice of lemon. The lemon was to remove ink stains,
 and in summer 10 keep off gnats and
 mosquitoes. Napoleon, whose hands were good to model and beautifully
 white, alsp Used bran and no soap,
 unless to shave. I never use soap of any kind without a sense of skin dis comfort which not even a deiuge or quite pure water will wholly remove,
 In England. on account of coal smoke,
 soap is more needed than in countries
 with clear air. The Boers enjoy, per-
 haps, the purest atmosphere in the
 world, except when there are dust 1 storms. I know French ladies who
 have discarded soap for vaseline. They i smear themselves with the latter and
 then rub it Off well with soft cotton towel X doctor tells me that nothing
 Is more cleansing, but that he prefers,
 as more tonic, plain cold water, fo1~ l lowed by the same sort of rubbing. Dr. Legds really should not take to heart
 what Sir Henry Stanley said abeat the
 Boers being badly off for soap.

SCIENTISTS FIND
That Typhoid Germs Are Bred in oys-

 A scare was caused in Engllnd soma years ago by the statement that oys- ters were active disseminators Of ty- phoid fever. The consumption in un- don Of what are invariably referred to in the country papers as luscious bi- valves thereupon fell off 90 pr cent The cockney. alive to his opportuni ties, refused to buy oysters for his sweetheart, on the ground that they were dangerous. As oysters are yerF expensive in Great Britain anyhow. people were easily convinced ef their unWholesonaeness. The reduction in consumption caused a rapid fall iD prices. It also injured the American eyportation of Blue Points to England profs. Herdman and Boyce went to five among oysters of Lancashire to find out if they are really so dangerous They looked into the cause of the color Of green oysters. ssThe green hue. they pietnresquely say in their report, is equally familiar to the man who raises them for the market. to the one who raises them from their bed with a pair Of rakes, and also to him who raises them out of their own ju ces from the half she'll by means of sll- yer trident. This coloring has been attributed yariously to metals, vege- table co1oring matter, bile pigment and the pigment of diatoms." The inves- tlgations of the learned oyster sharps. however, yield the fact that the green color is not always due to the same cause One variety is caused by cop per. This appears true Of tho Ameri. can green oyster. In other varieties iron is found, while diatom, or moss, Is suspected as cause to still others. The American green oysters are frer quently thin and have shrunken flyers. The contamination of oyster beds by sewage and the results of experimental feeding of oysters with matter laden with typhoid fever germs are taken up. Oysters from the vicinity of sew CTS contain bacteria. Those that have imbibed typhoid baeilli have in them germs which can be cultivated from them fourteen days after infection New York Journal.
