NOW BOERS PITC1I THEIR LAAGERS, Always Put Tents Between Parallel Line of Hills. A. C. Hales, the Australian corre spondent who was captured by thi Boers and released by President Steyn writing from Burghersdorp, says: "Possibly it may Interest Englisl men ad women, too. for that matter to know what a fighting ladger is Lke and, as I have seen half a dozen 0: them from the eneny's side of thi wall, a rcugh pen sketch may not bi amiss. In war times the Boer neve: under any circutstan:ces makes hi! laager in the open country if then are any kopjes aboui. No matter hou secure he may fancy himself from at tack, no matter if there is not a fo( within 1ifty miles of him, the Boeo commander always pitches his laag in a place of safety between two pa, allel lir.es of hills, so thal an attac! cannot be made upn him, c!:her fron or rear, without Ihing hin an M mense advantage over tle attachinl force, even if the eneiv is ten tines as strong in numbers. By this mean the Boers make their laagers almos1 impregnable. If they .ave a choice ol ground they pick a ni.:row ravine 01 gully, with a line of hills fiont anc rear, covered with small. roek3 howlders and bushes. They dy'.ve thei] wagons in between thiese hills. "The wom'en are placed In safety for it is a noticeable fact that very large numbers of women have follow ed their husbands and brothers to thi .war, not to act as viragoes, not to un sex themselves. nor'to handle the rile but o nurse the wounded. to comforl the dying and to lay out the dead. I have heard them singing rotnd th( camp fires in the starlight, but it wa: hymns that they sang. not ribak songs. I have seen them kneeling b3 the side of men in the mounlight, bu1 not in wantonness, but in merey. and many a man who wears the Britisl uniform to-day can bear me witacss that I speak the truth. "The foot scouts take up their posi tlons among the rocks and shrubs or the hills in front and rear o:' thc aager. Each scout has his rifle ir his band, his pipe in his teeth, hi4 bandolier full of cartridges over hih shoulder and his scanty bldakei un. der his let- arm. No fear of his sloep Ing at his post. He is lighting fol honor, not for pay; for home, not.fe glory, and he knows that on his acute ness the lives of all may depend. II( knows that his comrades and the wo men trust him. and he values the trus1 as dearly as British soldiers ever did. No matter how tired he may be, nt matter how famished, the Boer senti nel is never faithless to his orders."

Interesting Expernments. Prof. Masso, of the University< Genoa, has recently completed series of interesting experiments fc the purpose of observing the tempert ture of the body during fasting an the rate of assimilation of carbo'.1y rates. The experiments demonstrat ed the effice::y of sugar in raising th temnperature of an animal which ha fallen during a fast. Upon the ad sninistration of sugar the temperatur rose rapidly during fifteen minute and in one or two hours reached it max:imum. After bread is given th temperature will rise more slowl: than in the case of sugar, owing t the greater difficulty the animal ha in assimilating the food. Prof. Mass fy.ys that with sugar he has succeede in retoring the vitaliiy of dogs in serious state of hypothermia. whil the administration of albumen to oth ers failed to save their lives.

She Earns a Comfortable Income Arrang ing Bridal Finery. Miss Eleanor Burvell is a young woman who dresses brides. That is ,he way she makes her living, and a very good living at that. The other dav- a friend of mine was married, and !ono morning, about two weeks before the eventful day, a card was sent up I to her, and I went down to see the I caller, a Miss Burwell, whose name neither of us had ever heard before. Shs, explained her business and my friend engaged her. Early on the morning of the wed ding Miss Burwell appeared with her' assistant. The entire trousseau, and, I might say, the bride herself, was turned over to her. She first investi gated the wedding outfit anu saw that everything was as it should be. She insisted on the bride's remaining quietly in bed untit 10 o'clock, the wedding not being until 5 o'clock in the afternoo:i. Then she had her out and tried on the wedding dress, gloves and slippers. Some alterations, only a few stitches, were necessary, and she took them. Next she turned her attention to packing the trunks, and in 1-3s than two hours the task was accomplished and a little book con taining a complete inventory was put in the bride's traveling bag. Thisin veutory gave not only the list of articles, but told exactly where the; could be found. By this time the bride had finished her luncheon and was persuaded to take a nap and re main in bed until called by Mis Bur well, who, with her assistant, left the Louse, to appear again promptly at .30 o'clock. Then a tepid bath was prepared; the bride awakened, and while sho was taking it they straightened up the oom and laid out the bridal costume. The dressing of the bride was accom plished without the slightest hurry and in ample time. But best of all was the fresh, rosy face that was seen through the bridal veil. It was so different from the haggard, nervous girl we had all expected. She was ot a bit tired or worried, and, feel ,n that she was looking her very best, womanlike, she was supremely contented. Miss Burwell accompanied ter to , the church door, guarded I gvinst soiling her gown in the car Iiage and gave the final touch to her veil and train as she entered. After the ceremony she returned to the house, superintended the ex bange of the bridal for the going avray gown, gave the inal arrange ents to the last trunk and the :raveling bag, set the room to rights uid left as quietly as the proverbial noi;se. The next day I saw her again, and Lsked her to tell me about her work. I began four years ago," she re >lied, "by dressing a friend of mine, iud I thxought her mother, who was a - very delicate woman, would never get tthrough thanking me. She said I was just the right person in the right place , n such an occasion, and as I had left - chiool and was on the lookout 'for -, somethin to do to earn a living, I de . ie otry dressing brides as a pro ession. I came to New York as our n 'city and affording the d largest e . had a few s letters of introduction a amount of money, less than $50, i .my pocket. S"While they pay me well for my ner vices they do not feel that they can affMord to keep expensive servants. Of course I am compelled to keep up with _ the latest styles, and for that purpose I spent two months in Paris lash sum mer. August and September are the poorest months in the year for wed dings, while October, February and aJune are about the most popular. ~Often during these months .I have as many as two brides a day to dress, and several times I could have had as many as four, but was obliged to re J fase~ many engagements for want of etime.-Laiayette M1. Laws, in Chi 1 cage Record. A Pretty Bodice Novelty. There is a new note in the bodices of fashionable gowns these days, and although one that would have seemed *incongruous to our grandmothere, it i is extremely pretty. It is double Szephyr worsted, used to lattice work Sand embroider certain parts of fancy Sshirts instead of the Roman silks and iflosses that have been familiar so lonig. One distinctive usage is seen - 'in bodices of a black satin or liberty silk, made over white linings. If it eis arranged with tucks-either bias or straight, the interspaces are decorated ,with a working of the double zephyr. The decoration never represents flowers, leaves or similar designs. Usually it is worked in a c-at stitch and, as an added touch, when the neeale points out of each side of the g-oods the zephyr is thrown about it several times and fastened so as to form a French knot. The dress goods under the worsted is then cut away and allows the underlining to show through only slightly as the catstitch Sing was very closely clone. The ,worsted was of many mixed colors through which yellow and purple pre I dominated. Another char ming bodice i was of cherry-colored liberty silk made over cream white. It was elab orately worked with black double SOn rather fanny shirt waists this work, though Blight, gives them a touch of style and novelty. The edges, also of fancy and adjustable collars, with ear points and pointed cumT. arc being finished with double zephyr. At first they are edged with a satin ribbon of some color in con trast to the collar and on the ribbon the w orsted work is executed. This w 'irk is qjuickly done, and it is greatly 2i its av-or that no advance design ing is necessary. A straight eye and an adaptability in designing is all that It is also feasible to till in many sharp little corners on gowns with a fan-shaped bit, the stitches being long and graduated. A-rain the old Romaan block design is used on straps to cross over the vests of bodices. By 3 those that know about up-to-date -wns, it seems as though even more a tention was paid to what is new in wrinkles, as such little points as this one about worsted are called, than to the excellence of the quality of the Neceseities Created by New Faibons. New fashions often create new ne-1 cessities, and the train skirt is new to' many of the younger women. They L End it difficult to manage, and accuse themselves bitterly of awkwardness when they find themselves entangled F in its clinging folds. In point of fact, the mere phrtse "manage the train" definitely conveys the idea of difficulty, and since trains first were worn novel- A ists have laid stress upon their hero ines' grace in managing them,and the atrical critics comment upon it in like : manner. The novice in train gowns, there fore, does not need to feel badly over her deficiency, but simply apply Ler self to remove it. It is not weakness and affectation to try to acquire grace of movement. It is duty. The way to seat one's self iF to catch the skirts lightly in one hrFd, bend j one knee, and so slide down into the chair, at the same moment releasing the draperies, with an impercepti)le 1 swing that throws them in sweeping folds almost into a semicircle. In ris- e ing catch the skirts in the same way, and with a daxterous twist of the wrist and slight backward movement of the foot spread the train in its fi proper fan shape. It is difficult to de scribe, but a little practice will accom- h plish the trick, and it is well wortb acquiring. The Girl Who Knows How. x "There's such a thing as being too smart," sighed the ambitious girl. "It's really a misfortune to have the C reputation of being able to do things, for the one who possesses the knack of doing anything, from millinery to scrubbing, is almost sure to be imposed ti upon." c< It is true that such a girl is apt to r: be overworked by her friends, who, seeing the deft fingers work so quick- s( ly, too forgetful of the strength used in gratifying their requests to "just help me out on this, dear, you do it so beautifully." However, I believe in teaching girls to do everything that they are likely to need to know in every day life or emergencies, and I ani not like the mother who would not teach her girls how to cook, believing if they didn't know how they wouldn't have it to do. But with all the rest of the knowl edge, impress upon the girls a regard for their own strength, and the power to say no when the nerves cry out that the limit of healthful endurance is reached. Smaller Calling Cards. The big pocketbook has been re placed by the purse of gold mesh, netted silk and beads, suede and jewels, and the very long and unhand ily broad cardease has given way to the easily carried case of convenient size and weight. The change has - necessitated a change in the size of visiting cards, and thes6 are smaller than they have been for many years. di A few years ago misses not yet "out" used cards the size of these now cor rect for their mothers. Some of new cards are almost square just a trifle longer than broad. With an addre~ and an at-home day is not much fair wh~ which the indole a message inst but these am for the little cases. TX1NGS Lace boleros in black and white and eru eplors will be seen. Cluny lace is used for many kindsj of gowns this year, and is charming with all. A satin ribbon worn around the r neck and tied in a tritn bow at the throat should have the two ends long and tucked in at the belt. A panne velvet parasol has rather a warm look for summer, but it is beau tiful. One with a white ground, with the most delicate pink roses in clus ters upon it, is charming. A woolen gown which has a narrow I panel front has a solid mass of tucks 5 or folds going around horizontally over the hips from the panel. Large f women will have to fight shy of such gowns. Some of the bodices seen are made to blouse decidedly back and front, as pronounced a blouse effect as has beer worn in any of the time of the recent r popularity of the bloused garments.; Some of the bloused waists are plaited' in close small plaits'. One pretty little silk gown has the e fullness given it by fine tucks set in h around the waist. These are stitched down five or six inches to form threci points in the front and at the sides and below this the tucks flow out intoi y the skirt. The fine tucks are set in h plain at the back. An Eton jacket on a pretty little s light stuff~ frock opens at the side, d and is fastened aeross with narrow c 'black velvet ribbons. There are three n of these fastenings, each with two straps of the black i vet, with bun chy little rosettes of the black velvet on either end. It makes rather a pretty finish. Panne velvet is combined with satin i ribbons. A sash that is worn with a light stuff gown has a black panne C velvet centre, with brilliant colored t flowers on it, and wide edges of black 8 satin ribbon. This is a narrow sash width, and is tied once around the waist and fastened a little at the side f the front with a big bow.i The new stockings are gorgeous tor behold.- Black silk stockings are cut out on the instep to show appiiquese of lace. Oihers have the holes worked around with button-hole stitch, andi iunereath are set pieces of bright colored taffeta. Black stockings are embroidered with dots and small flowers. The oipen-work stockings ar of exquisite delicacy. A nique belt is made of three nar row straps of wvhite kid over black . vevet ribbon. The black velvet is I raher wide, crushed together at the ends in front, where the three straps of the kid are also brought close to gether, and the whole farstened with a. small gold clasp. As the straps pass around the waist they are separated about their own width apart. and held j in place y itle crnosniece of grnid UR BUDGET OF HUMOR, AUCHTER-PROVOKING STORIES FOFR LOVERS OF FUN. orce of Iabit-Accounting For a Repn tation-An Aristocratic Poodle-Good For What Ails Him-The Situation-. .Very Encouraging, Etc., Etc. poet loved a wealthy maid, Au heiress far beyond his station, ut, nothing daunted, unafrald, He wooed with fiery inspiration. e sent by mail a fervent plea That spoke his love in words that burn, ai then, from force of habit, he Enclosed a stamp for Its return. --Philadelphia Press.
