Sabattus is having a great time with

syset are children in the morning. in the

In their dainty frocks of red and blue. or
gowns of simple white;
In their play up in the playroom, in the
yard or on the lawn,
But they're sweetest when it's bedtime.
and they get their "nighties" on.
Little ghosts of white a-romping DER the
bed and through the room,
In the season of lifetime they're the ROSY
month of June;
Little ghosts of white a-marching to the
music of their laugh,
And the one who e'er would miss it sees
in life its minor half.
Little curls a-dangling frowsy-to the
heads a fitting wreath
Little gowns Arranging loosely, and the
peeping feet beneath;
Merry monarchs of the household and
their love is as the fawn,
And they're sweetest when it's bedtime
and they've got their "nighties" on.
Oh. the clear notes of their laughter. and
the patter of their feet,
As they romp and chase each other in the
game of hide and seek

and neighbors, while her proud hus-

She was buXOm damself of the Swed-
ish type, with blonde hair and clear
blue eye. Her head was covered with
a peculiar turban, from which hume
clusters of silver coins. Long strings
of coins were suspended from a neck
lace and a girdle, and hung over her
shoulders and hips and must have been
very heavy. These were her dowrv.
She had begun to save them DURING
her childhood, and, instead Of putting
them in a savings bank, had strung
them together for ornaments, and had
worn some or all of them on festive
occasions to attract the attention of
the eligible young men of the neigh
borhOOd.
They were Of different denomina
tons, all of silver, and were strung to-
gether with good deal Of taste. The
custom of the country permits a bride
to control her dOwry after marriage.

them to their children. Sometimes
they are exchanged for a piece Of land,

MISUNDERSTANDING.
1t is Proceeding Satisfactorily
and in Good Spirit.
The Beers Are Generally Dressed in
Dilapidated Clothing, But They
All Have a Smart and Sol.

London, June 9.-The war office has
received the following message from
Lord Kitchener under Sundays date:
The disarmament of the Beers is
proceeding satisfactorily, and good
spirit is displayed everywhere. Yes.
terday 4,342 rifles had been surrender.
ed up to date"
Dispatches received from Pretoria
confirm the statements made in Lord
Kitchener's communication to the war
office, and say that the whole staff of
the late Transvaal government, with
a body guard of so men, surrendered
last Saturday.
The following formalities are OBJ
served when Gen. Botha, Gen. DeWet
or any Of the Boer commandments &C
company the British officer who has
been detailed to receive surrenders:
The Boer leader goes out to meet a
commando and returns at its head.
The Beers who come in are generally
dressed in dilapidated clothing but
nave smart and soldierly bearing.
Those who are to surrender are assem-
bled and the BOer leader delivers an
address to his men urging them to
listen to the British officer who has
been detailed on this work. The Brit
lsh officer then makes a speech to the
men Of the commando, in which he in
forms them of the admiration of King
Edward and the British nation for the
gallant struggle and the bravery of
their people and promises that the
British authorities will do their ut
most to help them re-settle on their
farms.
A meal is then provided for the
Beers, after which the formal surren-
ders occur. In many such instances
the Beers have cheered King Edward
and they have sometimes expressed
surprise that no army was sent out to
receive their surrenders. The Beers
are allowed to retain their horses and
saddles. The majority of them appear
to be glad that the war is at an end
and that they will now be able to join
their families.
Among the men who surrendered to
the British authorities at BalmoraI.
Cape Colony, were four Americans.

A few of the Boer women still in
weigh against surrender, but the gen.

making the best of the situation.

Nothing.

A traveller in the Bolivian Andes says
that at one time while his cart was
making its progress through passes
and over dizzy heights he had chance
to learn how two taciturn persons may
show their satisfaction at meeting in
other than the conventional way.
1t was midday, and under the glar-
ing vertical sun drowsiness had in
vaded us. We slept until we were
awakened by the approach of the mail
cart coming in the opposite direction,
the first civilized vehicle we had en-
,countered. Both drivers stopped and
gazed at each other long in silence.
They were evidently pleased to
meet, but had nothing whatever to
say. At last one inquired:
"What news?"
Nothing" replied the other.
"What did he say?" asked the first,
doubtless continuing a conversation a
fortnight old.
Nothing"
"Good!" and they drove on.-Youth's

AN ENGLISH BATH STORY.
Novel Arrangement for Obtaining :
ShOwer-Bath in an Irish Sea-
side Resort.

4 good story has recently beCa
picked up in the west ofIreland by Mr.,
r. J. Mecredy, the well-known motOt~
ist. 1t concerns the rising little sea-
side town of Lahincb, 2 place which has
recently developed tremendously
through the tourist and golf ScSai5's,
SAYS the London NJ. A. P. A few ye',Ta
ago the public baths, like most othe1
institutions in the village, were very
primitive. They were situated in In
tie cottage, which was just above tbs
high-water mark. Shower baths e
a speciality, and they were to be had
in a room which had bathtub placed
in the middle of the floor. On pulling
a string a perfect deluge of bracing
sea water came through the ceiling
A lady visitor once stood ready in the
tub and gave the dread signal. But
instead of the usual avalanche of
green water there came from aloft tie
gruff voice of the fisherman prOpri-
etor of the baths: eff yell move a
taste more to the wesht, ma'am, said
the voice, "ye1l get the full benefit av
the shower" Looking up she, to her
horror, deserted the old fisherman
standing by an aperture in the cell
ing, and holding a barrel of-sea water
ready for the douche! Whether the
lady moved to the west and received
the shower or not, the chronicler does
not relate But Lahinch has made gi-
ant strides onward since.
