Contrary to the common belief, boils
are not Indicative of blood disease.
They are really Indications of local
poisoning by pus bearing germs, and
the boil is an abscess. Every pus
prick, every scratch, every abrasion,
every cut with a razor or pockctknife,
every splinter that enters the skin
may cause a boil. Nor need the wound
be a serious one. It may be so minute
as to be Invisible to the unaided eye.

I ,110 wilderness,
j ,/' &C-J. | Her dominions,
which have
| given her no end of trouble in the past,
and their capacities are by no means
exhausted. More than all else the Brit
ish have learned how not to do things
in war.
Perhaps the greatest lesson for the
British war ofiice will be drawn from
: the failure to end the war at Ihe time
of the march from Rlocnifontein north
ward. Halting in the Orange Free
State to gather strength, Lord Roberts
i drew the Boers to his front. He faced
northward and Ruber's army in Natal
| above I.advsmith faced westward, with
the Boers confined in an angle. A fight
of the kind that an army of 100,000
men ought to be able to put up against
i 20,imki should have broken the Boer re
i sistance and left little to do except
I gather in fragments. But Roberts was
too confident, too anxious that the sol
diers eat their delayed Christmas din
ner in Pretoria. With his army strung
out over a line 200 miles in length lie
marched on steadily and in good order,
but whipped no Boers.
In the American civil war it was
demonstrated that hostile armies and
not hostile positions ire the important
tilings. An army with fighting stuff in
its ranks can lake up position after
i position, prolonging a war indefinitely,
j But when an army is once destroyed
| its destroyers are foot loose to tackle
and destroy another army. Hood's
i army was destroyed at Franklin and
Nashville in 1804, and the result would
have been the same had the blow fallen
in a wilderness. The capture of At
lanta by Sherman didn't dispose of
Hood's army, nor the fall of Peters
burg' and Richmond put an end to
I.ee. Had Grant marched from Peters
burg to Dansville, saying, "I'll attend
to Lee when I get there," lie would
have done just what Lord Roberts ylid
after the Boers evacuated Bloemfon
teiu. It' Roberts could thrash the
burghers at Pretoria, why not thrash
! them on tlie way to the Yaal, or at
least corner them with his odds of live
to one?
Without a doubt the English otiieers
and soldiers went into the South Afri
can war puffed up with a conceit that
would have been silly in an army of
amateurs. They despised the Boers as
fighting men, and in the end are imi
tating Boer methods. It was the in
tention to smash the burghers before
tliev could get ready to fight. The
original plan of taking them by sur
prise fell through. Kruger was too
smart for Chamberlain. But because
it was the British way to override
everybody, John Bull must flounder
ahead and run into ambush and
slaughter. The Boers held as decided
opinions about who should rule South
Africa as the British themselves.
The Boers couldn't fight—oh, no!
So the Briton rushed along on the open
veldt, and the Boer from bush and
kopje shot him down like game. He
wouldn't carry a spade, nor dig a
trench, nor pile up earth to shield his
devoted head from a miserable Dutch
man. Finally, when the individual sol
dier saw the tactics of the Boers on
their rocky kopjes, he would throw to
gether a pile of loose stones and duck
his head behind it. These stone heaps
were splendid markers and good tar
gets for the Boers. A shell would
scatter the fragments, and make every
piece a missile to hurt some Briton.
The Boers intrenched whenever
there were no rocks or kopjes to cover
their heads. Perhaps they couldn't
fight a theatrical battle, those plain,
simple herdsmen of the bush, but they
could take to cover and make the other
fellows tight a losing game. In a mil
itary way that is the best of fighting.
The British have studied prize ring
rules too much for men who wish to
conquer savage valor. War cannot be
subject to rules when it is a raid of
the strong upon the weak.
Not only did the English troops de
spise cover in the face of the enemy,
but did their best to make a show of
themselves for the Boers to shoot at.
Perhaps they meant to overawe the en
emy. The effort was not a success.
When attacking a kopje or Boer bat
tery, the British didn't go in by rushes,
but in deep columns, marching erect.
In fact, every charge was a repetition
of Balaklava. It was magnificent, but
It was not war. London and the sport
ing youth the world over thought it
tvas sublime, that stolid British way of
getting "killed most beautifully."
The Boer will ride like the wind to
his kopje or river bed. then dismount,
hide his pony and tight, but the mount
ed Briton rode like the six hundred in
to the mouth of hell, sitting erect, and
if ordered to halt nndcr fire would still
sit en et. a good target for the Boer
Mans' r. For more than 25 years the
trained cavalryman of America has
known how to make a breastwork of
his horse when caught in the open un
der fire. It is a mistake to call the
Briton's bearing under fire true cour
age He is a machine and does as he
is told.
Defects of the British army system
that have beyi pointed out by special
ists have come in for a sad showing up
at tlie front. The officer Is only a play
soldier, lighting with him Is not a
life career, but a boom for his social
prospects. ,\ social bankrupt or a jilt
ed lover buys a commission togo off
and hide himself in a grave far too
good for him The British colonel
dot-n't know his captains, and the
captains do not know their men. The
n . n 1- nil nothing from the officers, for
tlie da ses are far apart.
In artillery lighting the men do the
worl Ail depends upon the man l>e
hind the gun, and lie is a man, not a
popinjay from - mie fashionable square.
The I'.ritisli guns in South Africa have
been well served, and the naval guns,
the pride of the Jackies. have done the
best of all. I ! tanks do the fighting
in war and need intelligent and well
timed direction as to when the blows

j gain for the cause.
Colonial troops made splendid records
1 in South Africa. They were inde
j pendent, hardy and resourceful, led by
i officers of their own type, in saddle
, they were more nearly a match for the
I Boers than the best trained English
cavalry. In the long run the colonial
| soldier would have proved the best
fighting card England has. The west
ern habit of independence, every man
looking out for himself and able to
boss himself in an emergency, is a good
outfit for a man who has to tight rough
and tumble. Fighting in masses is out
of tin? question ill r, struggle like that
| ill Cuba and in South Africa.
The line officer is the most important
personage in modern fighting. A crisis
is decided by rushes and tho rushing
party not greater than a company. It
is the same in cavalry and Infantry.
In a rush the officer must lead and not
command simply. Hence the best of
ficer is a man who has been one of the
rushers and knows what is wanted.
The British do not promote from the
ranks, and the army is weak in good
line officers who can fight.
In the matter of officers the question
settled itself in a practical way in
South Africa. The young blood who
went out to be glorified flaunted his
epaulets, his bespangled coat and shin
ing swonl. The Boer marksnn n had
merry fun with these birds, and a
series of "regrets to state" were fol
lowed by the enumeration of titled
victims who had been glorified with a
vengeance, and still the flag had not
got on toward Pretoria. Then away
went the sword, off came the shoulder
straps; a rifle and a suit of common
khaki make an officer in action look
like one of the men. Being brought to
the level of his men in looks the officer
will in tlie end learn from (lie men how
to make men fight. This will be a
blessing for the army, although there
will be fewer gazettings for "deeds of
dcrring do" and Belgravia and Solio
square short in army lions. In brief
Great Britain is at last finding out
what it means to light intelligent foe
men who regard their lives dearly.

of India may not take the trouble to
kill the British scientifically in revenge
for their wrongs. Life is cheap for
them. But the white man is not that
kind of a customer. British ingenuity
lias been put to a severe test, and that,
too, by a handful of amateurs who
never saw a book of tactics nor a drill
ground.
How to fight great battles is a matter
for speculative study. Success de
pends upon the capacity of a general
for original ideas. In this case
originality wins the game. But as to
plain fighting common sense governs,
ami common sense is to be had for the
taking of it. No one would expect to
excavate a tunnel with shovelers re
cruited from among supers on the
mimic stage. Neither can battles be
won by soldiers who are mere players
I at war, who are out for display and
not for stern business.
Incidentally military men the world
over have seen in South Africa that a
few determined men with long range
repeating ritles may hold up a whole
division of troops for hours, that in a
battle the supporting column must
stand off over 2,000 yards or be slaugh
tered while waiting to join action and
that the front line is liable to be de
feated before its supports can march
lo the relief. Reconnoitering in South
Africa has been most difficult and haz
ardous, but the neglect of it has cost
the British fearful disasters. A modern
army has so many tricks up the sleeve
that reconnoitering is absolutely neces
sary to success no matter how heavy
the dole of blood exacted of scouting
battalions. (JEOKGE L. KILMER.

roots of the hair as sea bathing does, yet
many women bathe nearly every day for
a month of two, and seldom have the
liair properly washed afterward, and
then they wonder why it falls out itf
winter, and have massage and tonics for
: six months to make it healthy again.
"They often think, because only a part
of the hair gets wet, just under the edge

hut that is just where the harm comes.

FEEDING WHEAT.

A largo production of wheat aud a

wheat in place of corn. .7. T. Willard of 1
| tlie Kansas station finds from a study
| of experiments and standard statistics '
j on the subject that wheat and corn fed '
I in the form of meal are of equal value '
j for f»eiiinir.
I In feeding wheat satisfactorily a 1
! number of considerations must be kept '

more danger of their escaping mastica- '

<."round wheat has an important dis
advantage in feeding in that it. is apt
to form a gummy mass, which adheres
to tie' teeth, making it difficult and dis
agre- able to handle by the animal. This
fault has been the source of some of
the poor results in feeding it and is best
obviated by feeding it mixed with some
other grain, as corn, oats or Kaffir corn.
Animals fed upon a mixture are also
less liable to become cloyed than when
feil on wheat alone.
