papers captured during the recent OPP
erstions under Sir Bindon Blood in
the eastern part of the Tiansvaal, were
found proofs that military orders COM
municated by telegraph became known
to them soon after transmission, and
that in this and other ways the plans OF
the British commanders invariably
came to the knowledge OF the Boers
before they were put into execution.
The result of the British operations
are consequently negative and end in
little else but an enormous expenditure
of horses, besides wearying the troops
to no purpose. This, OF course, is
what the Beers are aiming at, and as
they are officially stated by the British
War Office to still have 1900 men in
the field no definite limit to the dura-
ton Of the war can be fixed.
During May, the British losses by
death, ia battle and from wounds, acct
dents and diseases, were 25 officers and
100 men, and 80 officers and $50 men
were in hospital from wounds. In ad-
dition, 80 officers and 1912 men were
sent back to England invaded and
officers and 7 men were reported miss
ing and prisoners. Between June l
and 7, the casualties were 65 killed and
229 wounded. An examination of the
casualty lists shows these losses to be
incurred in skirmishes and fights rang
ing over territory nearly thousand
miles in length and averaging from two
to four hundred miles mide. In Cape
Colony there have been fights within
sixty miles of the coast, and the declar-
ed policy of the Beers is to force the
British to devastate that part of the
country in the same way that they have
the Transvaal and the Orange River
colonies. To add to the misfortune of
the country, rinderpest has broken out
in Basutoland, from where, it is feared,
it may spread to the surrounding terri
tories.
Generally speaking, the military con
ditions are not 30 favorable for the
British as they appeared a short time
back, and in Natal and Cape Colony
the political situation is worse. The
greater part OF the latter is under strict
martial law with the probability that
constitutional government in both col.
onies will be shortly abolished in order
that all British South Africa may be
brought under one uniform system OF
administration.

Aud ScOtia's Songs.

Air-"The Flow ers of Edinburgh"
When springtide comes wi sunny smile,
And streamlets wake in every glen,
When lovers linger at the stile,
And a tn g warld is young again,
| think of meadows far away
Where gowans bloom and memories throng
Of hooks where light and shadow play
The springtide glihts in Scottish song.
When summer spreads the vale wi flowers,
And westliu' winds blow saft and sweet;
When linnets sing in ha wthorn bowers,
An golden hours are a. too fleet;
/ hear each leaf and rustling blade
Respond to raptures deep and strong;
The Barley Riggs shall never fade
Tho summer blooms in Scottish song.
When autumn paints the purple hills,
And skylark notes salute the morn;
When every slope wi glory thrills
To heather bells of freedom bora;
l " ak the fields where patriots died
To sweep away tyrant's wrong;
Yon thistle-down floats far and wide
The autumn glows in Scottish song,
When winter chides the bickerin' burn,
And branches bend wi icy sleet;
When cctters frae their toll return,
An roun' the ingle neebors meet;
| see the social spirit free.
Let Scotland's sons reserve it long
A brither's prayer frae DER the sea
The winter lives in Scottish song.

The capacity of error for it's own pro-
ragation is one of the things often re-
marked. A person in the Philippines
recently wrote, in manuscript that was
as legible as print, apparently the cli-
mate has been the most maligned of
any OF the conditions" The statement
was published, but the compositor set
"malignant" for "maligned," revers-
ing the meaning of the writer, and the
false statement was sent abroad and is
travelling through the press on its mis-
sion of transformation.

Pintsch gas with the exception of the cafe,
dining and some of the chair cars, which are
unusually well lighted by electricity, the
fixtures being especially designed for these
cars. The dining cars will seat twenty-nine
persons and have ample kitchen space. The
cafe cars will seat eighteen persons in the
cafe, and have library and smoking room
In the observation end of the car which will
seat fourteen persons These cars also con-
tain private cafe with seating capacity for
eight persons. These new cars repre-
sent the highest stage of DEVELOPMENT of
modern car building. Nothing has been
omitted and no expense spared that would
add to their luxurious elegance, or to the
comfort and convenience of the patrons of
the Wabash road.

Case in Indiana.

Buck Creek, Ind, July 15.-Mrs.
Elizabeth Rorick of this place had
rheumatism. She says: 'All the doc
tors told me they could do nothing for
me-" She was very, very bad, and the
pain was so great she could not sleep
at night.
She used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
she is we'll and entirely free from pain
or any symptom of the rheumatism.
"Are you still using Dodd's Kidney
Pills?'' was asked.
mo, l stopped the use Of the pills
some time ago, and have not had the
slightest return Of my old trouble. /
am sure l am completely and perma-
nently cured.'
Many in Tippecanoe County who
have heard of Mrs. Roricks case and
her cure by Dodd's Kidney Pills, are
using the pills, and all report wonder
full results.

A New Hornets Nest.

When, on that September day in
1880 Lord CORVALLIS met in battle the
patriots of Mecklenburg, Rowan and
the adjoining country, he realized that
he had indeed stirred up hornets
nest. With the same spirit and love
for liberty and the energy that backed
it in those trying days Charlotte has
pursued the paths of peace until to-
day she is veritable hornets nest"
of enterprise and industry. Her
thrift and energy are evidenced upon
every side, and the buzz of machinery
has taken the place of the snap of the
old fiintlock. Factories and schools
and hundreds of manufacturing plants
bear witness that she is still a hornets
nest; but the nests" occupants are
without stings and extend to the
visitors to our great and growing city

tors to exert their influence to the
greatest possible extent. With the
new methods it is no longer held
necessary for the patient to seek a
climate Of the kind that has been sup
posed to possess some specific prop

from mild climates are now seen to
be due chiefly to the effects of the out

But whatever the advantages of such
a climate, they are liable to be offset
by the depressing influences that fol-

with consequent melancholy. The
expense, for the great majority of pa

A Substitute for Coal
To Cost S. SO a Ton.

DR.. Henry w. Morrow, a Wilmington
chemist, who has made valuable inven-
tons in the manufacture Of wood
fibre, recently gave a public exhibit
ton of his now artificial fuel in his
laboratory at Third and Market
streets, and it was successful in every
particular.
The correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger saw the fuel
moulded into small bricks and placed
in an ordinary cook stove, where with
in a few minutes there was fire at
white heat.
The fuel is made Of ordinary earth,
treated with a chemical process.
DR.. Morrow used bricks made in a
hand mould, but estimates what their
cost on a large scale will be at $3.50
ton, with good profit.
The fuel for ordinary domestic pur-
poses, he says, will burn from four to
five hours longer than coal, and under
forced draught, such as on steamships,
locomotives and in industrial estab-
lishments, it will burn from two to
three hours longer than coal.
Any kind of earth, except sand, will
do. Some of the bricks burned were
made of earth taken from the yard of
DR.. Morrows home at Ninth and West
streets, some from along the bank of
the Christiana river, and from other
places about the city.
The bricks for domestic use weigh
about three ounces, of which per
cent. is coal tar, 80 per cent. clay or
earth, the remainder sawdust.
The coal tar is introduced so that
the bricks may lie outside of build
ing, like ordinary coal, and can not be
damaged by water or weather.
DR.. Morrow showed some bricks that
had lain in basin of water for two
days, and they were as solid as when
moulded.
The sawdust is used, so that it will
burn out in a few minutes, and make
the brick porous and admit the heat,
but the dust is not necessary in
gredient, as some bricks were burned
recently which did not contain saw
dust.
Coal slack can also be used, and DR..
Morrow burned some bricks which
contained about 1 per cent. of that ma
terial.
The manufactured fuel, while burn
ing. throws off no gas or odor, but
burns with a bright blue flame OF in
tense heat. 1t burns up completely,
there being no clinkers, everything in
the composition crumbling into fine
dust after passing through the fire.
The fuel also cleans itself, the outside
peeling off and falling into dust as fast
as consumed.
DR.. Morrow says that the fuel can be
used without the least damage to the
tubes of boilers or crown sheets.

the word "One," following the COM
mand "Feu!" Thereupon NJ. Tailhade
raised his weapon and fired at a
neighboring tree, scattering some
sparrows. Then came the effective
scene. Hat in hand, and with a
cavaliers bow, M. Tailhade walked UP
to M. Jacques Sarcey. Sir" he said,
Il felt compelled to accord you the
satisfaction which you asked of me.
I valued too highly the motive Of your
challenge not to accept it. But let me
tell you, sir, that a duel with me is
delusion. I am blind in one eye and
have lost the use of one arm. Now

1t may be recalled, by the way, that
the infirmities mentioned by the writer
are the result of his having been blown
up in a dynamite outrage some years
ago at a restaurant opposite the senate.
Unable to match M Tailhade's fine
speech, M. Jacques Sarcey was con-
tent to make a handsome bow, whereto
M. Tailhade responded with a second
and still lower salutation, and the
reconciled adversaries parted. 1t is a
pity all Partisan duels do not end thus.

SUMPTION

Modern Methods of Dealing With Con-
sumption.
1t is now definitely established that
consumption is a durable disease.
Like every other chronic malady, if it
is permitted to possess itself Of the
system and complicate itself with
other disorders, it is beyond remedy.
But taken in time, and dealt with its
incipient stages, recovery is practi-
cally assured When the character of
the microbe became known, it only
remained to subject it to the condi-
tons most unfavorable to it's ex-
istence. Oxygen destroys it. It's
deadliest enemies are pure air and
light. Half an hour of sunshine is
sure to kill it. And the most efficient
treatment is, therefore, that which
gives freest play to these agencies.
Hence, hygienic and dietetic meth
DDS are of the highest Importance.
Whatever has been done through
medication is Of slight value in COM
parison. Therefore, the great results

The Way 10 Keep Pickles

Pickles should be kept in unglazed
earthen jars, or wooden kegs. Sweet
meats keep best in glass jars; mglazed
stone pots answer very well for COM
mon fruit. A paper wet in brandy, or
proof spirit, and laid on the preserved
fruit. tends to keep it from ferment-
ing. Both pickles and sweetmeats
should be watched, to see that they
do not ferment, particularly when
the weather is warm. Whenever they
ferment, turn off the vinegar or syrup
scald and turn it back while hot. When
pickles grow soft, it is owing to the
vinegar being too weak. To strengthen
it, heat it scalding hot, turn it back
on the pickles, and when ukewarm
put in a little alum, and a brown pa
per, wet in molasses. If it does not
grow sharp in the course of three
weeks it is past recovery, and should
be thrown away, and fresh vinegar
turned on, scalding hot, to the pickles
