The Clever Boer*.
—~ Saturday, Jan.
20. and ended when the troops dragged
their exhausted limbs back over tho
Tugela pontoon again In tho dawn of
Saturday, Jan. 27. Between those two
dates the lighting was uninterrupted
and dogged, and It is of those set en
days of strain, with thousands charg
ing, ilring, dying, along the crest of the
mountains, that one who was present
will think when he hears the battle of
Splon Kop mentioned In after days.
Boiler's first march from the Tugela
toward Ladysinlth seemed to be a clean
sweep of Boers from his track. Finally
the British came in front of a rank of
mountain spurs separated by dark
gorges. The field was in form of a cres
cent, with Splon kop at one horn. Btu-k
of all this, on high ground, lay the main
norr powitivtt. - "• tuc
ridge the Boers held with a few men
and made no show of resistance when
the British rushed them. This enabled
l Buller to send home dispatches of his
marvelous victories in driving tho
Boers from key positions one after an
other.
General Hart's brigade rushed two
gorges on Saturday, the 20th, but when
lils men were hurled forward of the
crest line upon the open ground lead
ing back to the Boer defenses on the
distant ridge the wily burghers showed
that they were not asleep, neither fly
ing before Bullet's army. Great guns
and Mausers began to volley bullets
and shrapnel, and the British rested
that night with sore knuckles and shins,
thankful that they still held the crest
lines of the ridge. Between the lines
the tall grass had been fired by shells,
and the British in their soaked khaki
looked at the warm glow with envy, al
though the rumor sped along the line
that some Boers had been caught In
the fire and were burning up l>eyond
the reach of help. Next morning was
Sunday, and Ililyard's brigade rushed
a third gorge, adding another spur to
the British captures, and all tho army
began to crow over the victories which
later turned out valueless.
In all these movements the British
held their breath, gripped their wea
pons for death struggles, used up their
nerve and vigor lighting men of straw,
all with tremendous show of energy
and valor. The Boers played a good
game. They let no chance slip to rake
the British advancing lines with shrap
nel and often mowed down the ranks
in heaps. Really the British died count
less deaths in imagination.
A lull followed one terrible outburst
of Boer fire poured into some of the
Queen's and Yorkshire regiments who
tried to rush over the naked tlat.

writer whose story in Blackwood's is the basis of

fire, from behind low punßcrs, big bowlders, from
little depressions, sometimes dying away In portions
of the line, sometimes redoubling in Intensity
-throughout ltslengtti as if by common Impulse. Now
and then a company would top the orchestra with
rhythmic volleys, while thousands of free lancet
on either side staid their hands for a moment m
if to listen; then the independent tiring would re
commence, rifle by rifle, until the rhythm of the
volley was drowned In the tremendous rattle;
then two or tliree Maxima would chline In, and
the whole ridge resounded from end to end, peak
, culling to peak, ravine to ravine.
"It was to this crashing accompardment of mus
ketry that the writer's battalion moved forward
late In the afternoon to relieve a regiment upon
tha crest line. A shell or two wide of the mark
and a sprinkling of ballets dropping almost per
pendicularly were all the notice taken of our un
seen but doubtless signaled advance. Evening
was Just falling when we entered the deep gorge,
at the top of which lay the battalion we had
come to relieve. It was a curious and depressing
spectacle. Imagine a huge basin of blackish
brown earthenware with sides so steep that your
neck is strained as you look up from your posi
tion at the bottom. From the encircling rim are
darting innumerable spurts of flame looking al
most scarlet against the darkening shy. These
are from the riflts of men clinging like flics to
the crest line. All around a casual 'whit, whit!'
more felt than heard, as the Mauser bullets whisk
down at the end of their flight and plop Into the
sott earth or strike with a crisp split upon a
bowlder. There are not very many of them now,
for the Boers are easing off after a hard day, and
we are sending them ten Lee-Metford's for one
Mauser across the plateau.
"The relief Is 6oon effected. We climb the
stony wall. The released battalion stumbles
wearily past us and disappears In the gloom be
hind to its well earned rest, all save one of Its
officers, who refuses togo until he ha( found
some of his dead lying out on the plateau. He
pukes about in the darkness in front of us, finds
the horrors he is looking for and on his return
Joins us In a hasty candlelight dinner with as
much unconcern as if he had been out mushroom
picking."
During the night the Boers planted
some guns to rake the gorge and show
ered the British with small shot all day
the 22d. There was not an Instant's
cessation of fire, not an Inch of ground
gained nor an inch lost. Another night
the counterpart of that of the 22d, bro
ken by the same fusillade at dawn, and
another day under ceaseless rain of
iron, and the battalion was ordered
back for a night's rest, then, early on
the 24th, was sent forward to support
the attack on Spion kop. Spion kop
had been seized In the night.
"A 9 we started toward the fatal kop all was
quiet upon its summit. The storraers, having won
the hill after a brief sruffle with a surprised pick
et, wore busy rearranging the confusion of a night
advance and piling up sangars with the few loos#
6tonos available. The *«nemy, very much discon

mist and the night came down together, the firing I

gorges and on the mighty escarpments slept not a j

That night the hill was evacuated j
and the day passed In burying the ,
dead. Toward evening orders came to

smith was a fizzle. Hardly were the
orders Issued when it began to rain, a
cold, pitiless. Incessant downpour,
which soaked the thin khaki in live
minutes. The battalion of the Mack
wood contributor covered the retreat.

yards or so tlie dark form of a horseman loomed
up, motionless as a statue, cloaked and dripping.
These were the mounted men distributed along
tho track to mark its course. About 4 a. m.the
27th, just as dawn broke over the swollen, dismal
Tugela, the bridge was reached, and as the last
battalion tramped over the womout planks which
swayed sickly beneath the moving weight a sin
gle shell sang drearily from the enemy's position
away back In the mist and fell with a splash Into
the water alongside."
It was like the full stop at the end of
a chapter, a chapter of failure and sor
row unrelieved save by the ceaseless
heroism of the dead and living whose
duty It had been to write It.

Inn tiulletln issued by the Illinois
experiment station Professor Ira O.
Baker treats of earth roads and their
drainage. "By earth roods," says Pro
-1 sKor Baker, "is meant roads built of
) :im and clay," and he continues:
Drainage is the most important mat
ter to be considered in the construction
of earth roads. No road, whether earth
or stone, can long remain good without
drainage. Drainage alone will often
change a bad road to a good one, and
the best road may be destroyed by the
absence of proper drainage. Water is
the only agent that destroys earth
roads. Water and dirt make mud, and
mud makes bad going. Ttie dirt is al
w and the water cy- - -

at unpropitlous times, as rain or snow.
The water softens the earth, the horses'
feet and wagon wheels mix it, and it
&x>n becomes impassable mud. Final
ly the frost freezes It, and the second
state of the road is worse than the first,
for a time at least Further, if the wa
ter is allowed to course down the mid
dle of the road it will wash away the
earth and leave gullies in the surface
that must bo laboriously filled up by
the traffic or the hand of man. No
road, however well made otherwise,
«an endure If tho water collects or re
mains on it. Prompt and thorough
drainage Is a vital essential in all road
construction.
A perfectly drained road will have
three systems of drainage, each of
which must receive special attention If
the best results are to be obtained.
This is true whether the trackway be
Iron, broken stone, gravel or earth, and
It 1b emphatically true of earth. These
three systems are underdralnage, side
ditches and surface drainage.
Many if not most country highways
could bo considerably Improved by
thorough subdralnage. Most roads need
underdralnage even though water does
not stand in the side ditches.
| The most Important object of under
dralnage Is to lower the water level in
the soil. The action of the sun and the
broezo will finally dry the surface of
the road, but if the foundation Is soft
and spongy the wheels wear ruts and
horse's feet make depressions between
the ruts. The first shower fills these
depressions with water, and the road Is
soon a mass of mud. A good road can
not be maintained without a good foun
dation, and an undralned soil is a poor
foundation. A dry subsoil can support
almost any load. A friend of the writ
er, an Intelligent man and a close ob
server, claims that even In-a dry time
the easiest digging on or around a farm
Is Just under the surface of a road hav
tnii i. cvpt -tiJ—t inr TOuuMI I ), is
continually pumping the water up from
tho subsoil and giving It out Into the
air, while In the road tho compact sur
face prevents evaporation of the water
In the subsoil. Therefore tho road
needs underdnalnage more than the
field.
A eecorul object of underdralnage la
to dry the ground quickly after a
freeze. When the frost comes out of
tho ground In the spring, It thaw 9
quite as much from tho bottom as from
the top. If tho land is underdralned,
the water when released by thawing
from below will bo Immediately car
ried away. This is particularly Im
portant iu road drainage, since the
foundation of the road will then re
main solid, and tho road Itself will not
be cut up like untiled roads.
A third and sometimes ft very Im
portant object of subdralnage Is to re
move what may be called the under
flow. In some places where the ground
Is comparatively dry when It freezes iu
the fall It Will be very wet in tho
spring when the frost comes out, sur
prisingly so considering the dryness be
fore freezing. The explanaUon is that
after the ground freezes water rises
slowly In the soil by hydrostatic pres
sure of the water in higher places, and
If it is not drawn off by underdralnage
it saturates the subsoil and rises as the
frost goes out, so that ground which
comparatively dry when It froze
Is practically saturated when it thaws.
Tbe underdralnage of a road not only
removes the water, but prevents or
greatly reduces the destructive effect of
frost. Frost la destructive only where
there is moisture. The upheaving ac
tion of frost Is due to presence of wa
ter. Water expands on freezing and
loosens the soli. When thawing takes
place, the ground is left spongy and wet,
and the roads "break up." If the roads
are kept dry, they will not brenk up.
lUnderdrainage helps to keep them dry.
It is the universal observation that
roads In low places which are tiled dry
out sooner than the untiled roads on
the high land. The tiled roads never
get so bad as thoße not tiled. There is
no way in which road taxes can be
spent to better advantage than in til
ing the roads.

Falling hair is one of the most com
mou ills that attend upon spring, beau

of weakness, and as such should be
treated by a tonic of iron, which the
doctor will prescribe, »ays the I'hila

also advisable. The hair should be
washed regularly, but not too fre

impoverished.
An excellent shampoo is made by
melting a cake of pure castlle or olive
oil soap shaved into thin slices in a
quart of boiling water. When the soap
is thoroughly dissolved, the result will
be of Jellylike consistency. Add to it
one teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda,
and when cool perfume It or not, BP

every few days.
Scalp massage is a powerful auxil

"When I was younger than I will
ever be again," said the professor with
a three story head and eyeglasses of
the telescopic order, "1 was the victim
of such Intense mental abstraction
that I removed myself entirely from
the world of practical affairs. I was in
the boundless realms of thought and
paid but fleeting attention to the active
field of human action. It was neces
sary to notify me when I should attend
my classes, eat my meals and even
when I should retire.
"I was at one time requested to lec
ture In a New England village and
agreed to do so. The theme was one
that had received my best thoughts,
and the mere prospect of delivering it
was a physical pleasure. W hen 1 ar
rived at the depot my thoughts were
concentrated upon the prepared ad
dress. 1 realized that my train was an
hour late and that I must hurry, but
beyond the mere fact of hurrying I did
not grasp a detail.
" 'Drive fast!' I shouted to the driver
of a dingy looking vehicle as I sprang
In and handed lilm a s«> bill. 'Spare
neither horse nor whip.'-

carrlago rolled like a ship In the trough

on the sidewalks and gaze. Up one
street and down another we dashed
madly. We took corners on two wheels,
grazed telegraph poles and knocked
over such movables as ash barrels and
dry goods boxes.
"After half an hour of this bewilder
ing experience I stuck my head out of
the window and shouted, 'Are we near

The Shli>miu>t*r'> Cow.
A certain farmer Is telling mean
things about a Rockland shipmaster.
"The shipmaster," he says, "bought a
cow of a' man down my way; good
critter—nothlu the matter with her.
But It seems the captain's wife one
day thought the milk tasted funny
and segested that p'raps she'd been
eatln spruce boughs; said the milk
tasted like 6pruce. And what does he
do but go out In the pasture to watch
the cow, to see what she did eat The
cow was fay In down, chewin her cud,
and he went erlong and run his finger
In her mouth to see what she was eat
ln. Then he was mad. He put a rope
on the cow and started off with her.
He met a neighbor, who says, 'Where
He you goln with the cow?' 'Goln to
take her back to the feller that sold
her to me. He's cheated me, and I
won't stand It.'
"The man wanted to know what was
the matter, and he went onto tell
about It and says: 'She wasn't eatln
boughs, but she was chewin gum;
that's what's the matter with the milk
and makes It taste like spruce. And,'
he says, 'that ain't ail. She's so addict
ed to the habit that she's worn all her
teeth out. She ain't got an upper tooth
In her head. Back she goes, quick.'
"Of course, the man told him that it
was all nonsense—that cows never had
no upper teeth. But he didn't believe a
word of It and went on and had a tar
nal row with the man that sold him
the cow. Guess he was never satisfied
about It or knew what a darned fool
de was makln of himself."—ltocklund

FOR THE CHILDREN:
A Little TuJk About Savinc*.
A distinguished economist felt that it
was as necessary to teach a child to
save as to train him to _earn, says
American Boy, lie formulated a sys- jj?
tem of savings for the lower schools of j jf
France so wise and efficient that in ten t
years there were In France 21,000 112
school savings banks, with 442.de
positors, whose weekly average depos- I
its of 15 centimes had amounted to i
10.248.22G francs, or over $2,000,000.. r
The establishment of the banks was |
left to the voluntary efforts of the
teacfiers. The children deposited pock
et money only, and it was made a part
of every Monday morning exercise.
The French cultivate the saving hab-j
it. Mine. Carnot gave a dinner to 400
of the poorest children of Paris and at I
its close gave to each one a bankbook
containing a credit of 10 francs. AN hen j
floods spread desolation and want in ,
the south of France, the children of the
schools of Bordeaux freely gave from
their savings S4OO for the relief of the
sufferers.
There are some school banks in our

IN CASE OF Plftfc.
Hun to Act When Menaced by Thll
biinKcroim Element.
In case of lire if the burning arti
cles are at once splashed with a solu
tion of salt and nitrate of ammonia
an Incombustible coating is formed.
This is a preparation which can be
made at home at a trifling cost.and
should be kept on hand. Dissolve 20
pounds of common salt and 10 pounds
of nitrate of ammonia in seven gallons
of water. Pour this into quart bottles
of thin glass, and lire grenades are at
hand ready for use. These bottles
must be tightly corked and sealed to
prevent evaporation, and in case of
fire they must be thrown near the
flames, so :i» to break ADII liberate the
gas contained. At least two dozen
of these bottles should be ready for
an emergency.
In tliis connection it is well to re
member that water on burning oil
scatters the flame, but that flour will
| extinguish it. Salt thrown upon a fire
I if the chimney is burning will help
! to deaden the blaze.
If a fire once gets under headway,
a covering becomes a necessity. A
silk handkerchief moistened and wrap
ped about the mouth and nostrils pre
vents suffocation from smoke. Failing
this, a piece of wet flannel will an-
Bwer.
! Should smoke fill the room, remem
ber that it goes first to the top of the
I room and then to the floor. Wrap a
I blanket or woolen garment about you,
I with the wet cloth over your face,
drop on your hands and knees and
crawl to the window.
Bear in mind that there is no more
danger in getting down from a three
story window than from the first floor
if you keep a firm hold of the rope or
! ladder. Do not slide, but go hand over
lauid.
