BLUNDERs IN BATTLE.
Cases Where Troops Have Fired Upon
Their Own People.


1t was at Beacon hill during the Boer
war that there happened n of the
saddest incidents in the history of the
British army. The East Surrey were
in a hollow between two hills creeping
up the valley. The West Surrey regi-
ment, half a mile away, caught sight
of the crouching figures and took them
for Beers.
In a moment a heavy yolley rang
out. and it was not until an officer,
realizing the mistake. rushed out in
front of the West Surveys that the
firing ceased.
A nurse. writing afterward from the
Estcourt hospital. said 1t was pitiful to
see the West Surveys coming in one
after another, bringing cigarettes, dain-
ties, any present they could find, for
the wounded men. then. hearing their
groans, turn away, saying: God for
give us. This Is our work."
One of the strangest cases of troops
firing upon their own people occurred
in Roumania in the year 1885. At that
time Roumania was in a very disturb
ed condition, and bands of robbers
regular banditti-prowled over the
country. raiding the villages and
farms. The largest of these bands
made its headquarters in the forest Of
Rhodope and gradually increased until
1t became 300 strong. 1t spread terror
through the whole countryside, and at
last the government sent a body of
troops TO hunt 1t down.
The robber band was located on top
Of a mountain. and the colonel in com
mand Of the troops split his forces and
SEM half up each side so as to attack
from two points simultaneously.
A thick fog fell, and the robbers took
advantage Of it to sneak away quietly
by a path known only to themselves.
The troops, unaware of this maneuver,
continued their ascent, and the two
bodies. each crawling along under COW
er of rocks and brushwood, met at the
top. They at once opened fire and
fought desperately for a whole hour
before the mistake was discovered.
Eighty were killed and 800 wounded

When You Go Visiting.

When on a visit to friends it is es-
sential that you make yourself very
agreeable and fall in with the ways of
the house, SO that you give no extra
trouble to hns,ess or servants.
Visitors shake hands with the host
and hostess morning and night and can
do SO with any other guests that may
be staying at the house.
Always leave your bedroom as tidy
as possible aud so save the housemaid
unnecessary work. Letters can be
written In The bedroom, and If the
hostess rests after lunch then visitors
may retire 10 their OWL o or go
for a walk. as they may prefer.
On the conclusion of a visit it is
usual to Tip" the ervant who has
shown you nny special attention. A
lady would tip" the housemaid a sum
from 81 to SO. according to length of
stay and attention given. A gentleman
tips the manservant who Wallets him,
the butler and also the coachman If he
drives him from and to the station.
Fees are never given by guests to
servants after any entertainment, not
even after a private dinner given at a
restaurant or hotel.

Good
The VISITING Card.


There is probably nothing half so
battling as the innocent bit of white
cardboard called by common courtesy
the personal visiting card. 1t is more
often anything but a visiting card, hay
ing fallen into dubious uses as a means
Of sending regrets, apologies and in
Productions, or of representing the
sender herself. 1t Is so easy to send
a card, much easier than going oneself
or writing a note. 1t is just correct
enough to let one out of a situation
without criticism, but there is no sur
plus courtesy. A card, like charity,
covereth a multitude of social sins.
But since cards are a necessary evil,
or blessing, If you choose to call them
So, 1t is well to know what is abb
solutely correct. There are variations
In cards from season to season. as in
stationery. but the conservative card
does not change in essentials. 1t should
be engraved, either In script or old
English lettering and should bear only
the name Of the owner, the address.
If desired and the day at home, If one
follows such a custom. A married
woman uses Mrs. and her husbands
full name on her visiting card; If a
widow, Mrs, her maiden Christian
name and the surnam of her deceased
husband. An unmarried woman uses
Miss and her Christian names written
out. ne initials. If she is the eldest
member OF her family, and there is no
danger of confusion. she may use just
the Miss and her surname. A husband
and wife may have a joint card for
use in sending gifts, regrets or an
nouncing change Of residence. Other
wise it is safer for a man and wife
to use separate cards. Never make the
mistake of using a business card for
social purposes.

About Invitations.

Notes of invitations to dinners.
dances, at homes" garden parties,
ETC., are generally written in the third
person and must be answered In siml-
lar style. Sometimes between intimate
friends and for a small dinner party
the tote of invitation would be written
in the first person and. of course, the
reply would be worded accordingly,
Luncheon invitations are, as q rule,
SEM by notes written in the first per-
son.
Invitations TO dinner or luncheon
should always be replied to Is soon as
received, whether accepted or refused.
1t Is usual to state a reason for refusal,
such as i~ndisposition. previous engage
ment, etc.
From five to ten days notice is usual
" given when sending invitations for
friendly dinner parties, but for a large
dinner party quite three or four weeks
notice is given, so that time Is thus
allowed to ask others should any of
the first invited guests refuse.
Guests arrive ten t o fifteen minutes
In advance OF the actual dinner hour.
and punctuality is most important.
Invitations to balls, dances and gar
den parties are issued on ordinary .'at
home'' cards. the form of entertain
ment provided being written or printed
in the left hand corner of the card:
"R. S. v. p" (meaning an answer is
expected, does not appear so frequent
ly on invitations as formerly, but when
it does an answer should be sent as
early as possible.

GOOD NATURED ELEPHANTS.
PecuIiarities of Some of the Herds Of
West Africa.

In 1905 | found myself near the In
Ella river, an important afiiuent of the
XVIII, flowing through a fertile region
which is infested by herds of ele-
plants. a source of constant anxiety
and frequent losses to the inhabitants.
In a country like this. where he is
not hunted by man in the ordinary way
and the only means for his destruction
are cruel but easily avoided pitfalls,
the elephant is decidedly good natur-
ed. We were told by the mission boys
at Pana that in the rainless season,
when their usual haunts are dried up,
the elephants frequently wander neal
the river and attack the plantations.
The natives try to drive them away
with sticksi
'But it is no good hitting them or
throwing stones at Them / was told.
''They generally refuse to take any mo-
tice. Sometimes a mother with a calf
will turn on us and chase us for a hun
bred yards or so. but no real harm is
meant and the animal is not really an
CRY, for all the signs of fury-spread
ears and raised trunk-are absent. All
the same. we do run away, although
we know there is no danger. One day
a boy fell when thus pursued, but the
elephant only threw sand on him."
AS | have myself seen a man just
pushed out of the way by one of these
good natured monsters. when the ami
mol had mora Than ou01oh nr0vOpaffOn
to kill him. l was inclined to accept
this account as true.-Wide World

CHEWING Gum.

Gum contests in public have gone
out of fashion. No more unlovely hab

times gum chewing may be necessary

an assistant to good digestion. it Is

tiful pieces that have been COM
pleted since the beginning of the
war. All pieces above a certain
grade bear the initials "CRB,"
which mean The Commission for
Relief in Belgium, and these are,
strictly speaking, the only war
laces" in the consignment. They
are of very fine quality, and it is
said that some of the most beau
tiful are the work of women in
the neighborhood of four-score
years Of age. Strange as it may
seem, perfect vision is not
wholly essential to those who
have had long years of exper-
fence in the work, and even
totally blind women have been
known to turn out most beauti-
full specimens. Some of these
appear in the collection recently
brought to this country by the
Commission.
AS an experiment, the Com
mission has given exhibitions in
New York and Boston of the
war laces" and rare specimens
OF untold values, and these ex-
hibitions will be repeated in
other of the larger cities. They
Will give the women, who are the
prospective and ultimate pur-
chasers, an opportunity of see
ing the goods with the assurance
that they are as perfect laces as
have ever been brought to this
country. In after years they
will be almost priceless, mas
much as the seal of the Com
mission in addition to the I'M
tials which the the better grades
bear, will be an assurance of
their genuineness, and of the
fact that the proceeds of their
sale will be devoted to the sup
port of the destitute people in
Belgium.
