The Malta promptly took up the chal-

February no fewer than fourteen men

London, April 17.-According to the
Pretoria correspondent of the Daily
Mail. important n sweeping move
ments are about to begin on a large
scale. Practically all the 10000 British
reinforcements lately announced as en-.
route to South Africa have arrived.
The arms now number $50, 900 efficient
men, including 10000 mounted troops.
The supply Of horses is adequate. It is
expected that the Indian generals,
Blood OF the Chtrial expedition, and
Elliott, who have lately arrived, will
have important commands,
IL Is said that a private telegram has
been received here to the effect that
Gen. French with 500 British troops
has been captured by the Beers while
Ills force was enveloped in a mist on
the hills. No confirmation of the re-
port q be obtained. The war office
knows nothing about the rumored zap
iture Of Gen. French and entirely dis
credits the report.
Cape Town, April lit is officially
stated that Scheepers' commando. after
making a demonstration near Aber-
deem, was located northeast of Aber-,
deem station. They were nearly sur
prised by the British, but thanks to a
thick mist, they escaped with the loss
Of only a few rifles and saddles. The
general tactics of these commanders
are to break up into small parties and
to avoid all risk Of an engagement.
Gen. Dewet was reported to be lat

quent movements are uncertain.
Beers from the various commands

Tho sovereign voluntary path to
sheerfulness, If our spontaneous cheer
fulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully,
to look around cheerfully, and to act
and speak as IL cheerfulness were al
ready there. II such conduct doesn't
make you soon feel cheerful. nothing
else on that occasion can. So, to feel
brave act as If we were brave, use all
our will to that end. and courage-ht
will very likely replace the fit OF fear
Again, in order to feel kindly towards
a person to whom we have been inim-
ical, the only way is more or less de-
liberately to smile. to make sympathet-
ic inquiries, and to force ourselves to
say genial things. One hearty laugh
together will bring enemies into a
closer communion OF heart than hours
spent on both sides in inward wrest-
ling with the mental demon of 'lnchar-
liable feeling. To wrestle with a bad
feeling only pins our attention on 1t,
and keeps 1t still fastened in the mind;
whereas, If we act as IL from some bet
ter feeling, the old bad feeling soon
folds its tents like an Arab, and silent
ly steals away.-Prof. William James.

Mother Hints.

Mothers often complain that their
babies do not appear really i'll, and yet
do not grow and look as healthy as
they should. The Difference between
healthy and an unhealthy child is very
marked. A perfectly healthy baby
sleeps a great deal of the time during
the first few months of it's life, and
when it is asleep wears an expression
of absolute and blissful repose. TIL
little eyelids are completely closed, the
lips very slightly parted and the
breathing is rhythmic and scarcely to
be heard. There is no visible move
ment of the nostrils in the healthy
baby while sleeping. When young
baby sleeps with the eyelids incom-
pletely closed, SO that the whites OF
the eyes show, be sure that something
is wrong. When the babys rest is
broken by pain, even collie, the eyelids
will twitch, and the eyes will not COM
pletely close. But the same symptoms
indicate often the appearance of Sc
we're Illness, so that the mother should
always be on guard.

He was Correct Enough.

In certain regiment was an expert
gymnast, who taught his brother sub
alterns how to walk across the barrack
room on their hands. While thus en-
gagged one evening the door opened,
and the colonel, a stern disciplinarian,
entered the room, looking attentively
at the inverted company, shook his
head gravely and departed without ut
tering word. Extra parade duty next
morning was the least punishment ex-
pected for this breach of discipline.
Some days passed, however, and, no
notice being taken, 1t was thought
that an apology and explanation
should be offered by the prime insti-
gator of these unsoldierly movements.

ogist by exclaiming: Hush, my dear
fellow, would not have anybody know

Chicago Dealers Discuss Recent Big
Order from the East. "
South Water street men the other
day discussed the recent order of an
eastern man for 100000 dozen eggs
to be supplied by the commission men
of the west, says the Chicago Chroni-
Gle. This order runs into big figures
and counted in eggs or dozens it looks
large. At any rate it means, even at
the price Of 10 cents per dozen, trans
action Of nearly $250O00. The eastern
buyer Is undoubtedly making his pur-
chase for cold storage purposes, and
will calculate to make his profit on
the advance in price next winter. Com
mission men are recalling the trans
action last season by which Cudahy
Of Omaha and Chicago parties coll
lected and stored several millions of
dozens of eggs which were afterward
sold at the winter price and at hand
some profit. When talking about a
recent offer made to the convention
of Kansas and Oklahoma commission
men to buy 100000 dozen eggs sew
eral South Water street dealers said
that such an order could be easily
handled by commission firms in the
ordinary business way. One was of the
opinion that there. are firms doing
business with headquarters in Chicago
that would not be stumped if called
upon to furnish twice that quantity
in the course of a couple of months.
They would simply set to work among
country and call for all that could be
supplied at stated times.
