It is the first time that anything of

Sir Red vers has bern a soldier since
he was nineteen. At that youthful
age he was a commissioned officer of
the Thirteenth Bides, and on pure
merit, combined with dogged deter
mination, hard service and remark
able bravery, ho forged his way ahead
to the high position ho now holds. In
0m 1S
TTF.rt OF THE MUTIHH FOBXE8
the war in Zulnland he won the rare
Victoria Cross in the retreat of Inblo
bane. On that occasion he saved the
life of a brother officer who was retir
ing on foot hotly pursued by the Zulus.
This gallant deed was only a sample
of his conduct. Since that time Buller
has been a conspicuous figure in the
fierce fighting of the British on laud in
vaded by their forces. He took part in
the actions of Tel-el-Koberand of Kas
sassin during the Egyptian war of 1882,
and served with distinction nnder
Wolseley in the Sudan expedition of
1881. It is the opinion of good judges
that, with the exception of Wolseley
and Roberts, Buller stands head and
shoulders over any general nowiu the
British army.
The excellent Boer marksmanship,
combined with the fact that it is an
unwritten rule in the British army
that officers must always stand under
fire even though the men aro lying
down, makes mourning probable in
many a noble British house.
The Admiralty is perhups more on
trial than the army, especially as it is
well known that General Lord Garnet
Wolseley, the Commander-in-Chief,
does not approve a system which gives
the navy suoh far-reaching power in
transporting troops.
In 1882 Great Britain despatched
fifteen thousand troops in three weeks
to Alexandria, Egypt, a feat that elicit
ed the intense admiration of Count
von Moltke, but the task of shipping
more than fifty-two thousand men has
no parallel in the history of England.
Already two branohes of the service
are beginning to blame each other for
various delays, but it is scarcely ap
parent that there has yet been any
serious lack of facilities.
The ship brokers have undoubtedly
worked something like a corner on the
Admiralty, as they did during the
Hispauo-Amerioan War, and the re
cent breakdown of two transports ia
still the cause of considerable abnse
of the Ada iralty.
Tbe most remarkable point in con
nection with the transport arrange
ments is that about eighty ships can
be taken into the Government service
without materially disturbingthe ship
ping trade.
Tbe weakest joint in the whole mob
ilization seems to be the Army Service
Corps, corresponding to the Unitod
ON THE NATAL BORDER.
States Commissary, The various sta
tions have been gutted to obtain the
necessary oflioers and men, yet many
line oflioers assnre tbe Associated
Press that the arrangements are grave
ly inadequate for suoh a oorps. In this
eonneotion the Naval and Military
Beoord says:
'It is quite clear that, if .England had
td provide a second or third army
eorps for foreign service, these, or
either of them, would have to go ont
without a full equipment. That this
unpleasant discovery will form the
subject of inqniry in Parliament goes
without saying."
No matter what the general opinion
may he as to the merits of the quarrol
between England and the Transvaal,
all the world believes thnt the former
will freely spend both Mood and treas
ure to establish her side of the argu
ment. The troops which she wilt put
into the field include many of the
most famous regiments thnt have ever
fought beneath English colors. This
very fact should count for something
in deciding tbe issue. The Boor, of
course, will just as cheerfully shoot at
a guardsman or a Oordon as nt a
meaner mark, but it should always ho
remembered, in measuring the rela
tive value of the two armies, that while
the burgher has no regimental tradi
tions and morale to preserve, the Briton
has both, coupled with a devotion to

match the patriotic ardor of his Dutch
antagonist.
Among the historio regiments al
ready in South Africa or under orders
to go there, are the First (Royal)
Dragoons, the Royal Scots Greys, the
Sixth Inninkillings, the Sixth Dragoon
Guards, the Tenth Hussars, the
Twelfth Lancers, the Royal Munster
Regiment, the Gordon Highlanders,
the Black Watch, the Highland Light
Infantry, the Liverpool Regiment, the
Eighteenth Hussan aud tho North
umberland Fusiliers. All of these
have records which would tell the
story of most of the victories and not
a few of the defeats achieved and
sustained by tbe British army Bince
that organization became an estab
lished entity.
The Gordons, who are now in
Natal, have an old score to settle with
the Boers. In 1881 the regiment
was attached to Sir Evelyn Wood's
column, about 150 men being detailed
to the small force operating under Sir
George Collcy's command. They were
among the four hundred who scaled
Majuba Hill and vainly endeavored to
hold thnt position against the Boer at

Lieuteuant Hamilton were wounded,
Singleton fatally and Captaiu Mao

An Extraordinary Mountali
Near the little station of Marc ilas,
Peru., which means "marvelous," on
the Sonthern railway, there is a moun
tain of which the most extraordinary
stories are told. It is claimed to be a
solid mass of ores of all varieties in
discriminately mixed, and as one
citizen deelared, "all you have to do
is to blindfold your eyes, turn around
three times, throw a little salt over
your left shoulder, -then begin to dig
where your spade strikes and you can
get any kind of ore you want gold,
silver, copper, lead, tin, antimony or
anything else and it lies right on the
surface like gravel." The faot that
this extraordinary mineralogical
phenomenon has not been utilized,
however, rather detraots from the in

How to Tilt til If nt.
The arrangement of the hair at tho
nape of the neck is one which creates
great difficulties in millinery mat tors.
Nothing in mo e terrible or disfigur
ing to the contour of the fnce than a
pap between the erowu of the hat and
the coils of the hair. Yet many,
mnuy girls are to lie seen who nllow
themselves to be such objects.
A veil brought n round thickly nn
der the chili and tied above the brim
sometimes mitigates the evil, but it
exists, neveithe'.oss, nud another one
attendant on it, viz., the angle at
which the hat is worn, setting iu ab
solutely a straight line across the
head nud coming low down on the
forehead, with tho result that becom

Tllfi Npw Street Costumes.
One of tho smartest of women's
tailors is mukiug the simplest of street
costumes this season, but manages to
give each one a distinctive touch that
stamps it as novel and individual. One
of these costumes is of nu odd shade
of dark green, brightened with touches
of creamy castor in the same mnteriul.
The close-fitted skirt has a front panel
which reaches to within a couple of
inches of the ground nud is outlined
with a double row of heavy machine
stitching. On either side of this panel
is a narrow gleam of castor cloth,
which also poops out from beneath
the green cloth skirt nt the foot. The
trim little jacket roaches a few inches
below the waist all round, aud the
basque has scarcely any fulness. A
vest of the castor cloth is flanked by
the double rows of machine stitching,
which also outline the basque. Round-
?d lapel l evers of the cantor come from
he shoulders, where an odd yoke ef
fect is obtained by a triangular piece
of cloth boiug stitched from the base
of the high collar to the shoulder
seam and arm hole. Another costume
created by this origiunl tailor is of
black rough cloth and has a vest of

Married XYninn nt Hrlionl.
If a girl in Bussia wishes to study
at any of the universities iu tbatcouu
try e.iqnette does not allow her to do
so until she is ra irrio.l, so she goes
through the civil ceremony of mar
riage with a man student, whom very
probnbly she has never seen before,
and this marriage is quite legal, though
perhaps they may never speak to each
other agaiu. On tho other baud, if
they like each other and wish it, they
are luarrie I for life; if they don't, the
marriage is dissolve I when their uni
versity course is finished, and they
are froe to uiurry some one else. The

Mirror Irapary.
"I havo a little scheme of making
my visitors feel very well satisfied
with themselves, hence they are very
charming during their stay," said a
young hoite-s, recently, with an
amused twinkle iu her eyes, as she
displayed her daiuty mirror arrange
ment iu her guest room. The white
draped mirror and the laco-cuvend
toilet table made a very attractive spot,
but she asserted that it served an-
I other purpose beside that of beauty
nd convenience; and she hastened t
explain the nse of the white drapery.
If one would see herself in the decep
tive mirror as others see her with tho
eye, or as nearly as possible, let her
hasten to a dry goods store and buy a
quantity of solt, pure white materinl
gauze, if po'sible; if not, Swiss or
India muslin wilt answer very well.
Be sure and have it pure while, and
after polish! g the mrface of the mir
ror gather the material at tho centre
of the top and bring it down softly on
either side, frnminn the glass in folds
of pure white. When this is done to
artistic satisfaction peek in and see
what a transformation. The true tiuts
of the complexion, the expression of
the countenance and eyes, the correct
color of the hair, will bo accurately re
flected. This is one of tbe milliners'
oldest secrets. Many of them drape
the glasses on opening day iu the
softest di al cry of pure white. It is
done with the view of giving the fnir
patronesses the best view of them
selves posniblo, administering in this
way a liltlo subtle flattery, thereby
disposing more easily of the greater
amount of goods. Buffalo Enquirer.
Admit Hitliy'a Hair.
In tnklug cure of nn infant's hair it
is necessary to remember how delicate
nud sensitive the scalp of a child i,
and also that the bonos of the skull do
not close till nearly the end of the
socond year. At first a baby's head
should be washed every morning with
some good soap. If scurfy spots ap
pear on it, they should be gently
rubbed with a littlo vaseline or sn'nd
oil before the head is washed, bnt
thoy should not be touche I with a fine
tooth comb. It is a mistake not to
soap the head well, for if this is not
done the sculp is pretty sure to be
come scurfy; but it is an important
matter to rinse the hair properly with
clear water and to diy it with a Soft
towel. The very softest brush that
can be obtained is the right one for
baby, and no comb should be used.
After two years it will be often enough
II the climrs head be washed once a
week. Then a shampoo should be
used, made of the yolk of an egg nud
sosp beaten up in warm water to form
a good lather. This should be well
rubbed into the scalp and rinsed out
with plenty of warm water. If the
water is hard a little borax may be
used to soften it. When children
have long hnir and are apt to catch
cold, it is a gooil plan sometimes to ap
ply u little eau-de-cologneto the scalp,
but this uniHt never be used iu the case
of infants. Opinions are divided as
to whether cutting the hair tends to
strengthen it, or whether it does
equally well to grow as nature wills.
Iu any case it is n good plan to keep
the hair fnuly sho.t for cleanliness
s.ike, aud also because long hair is so
often burdensome to childreu. It
makes them hot aud nucoinfortnble
while romping about, and it also is
apt to become badly tangled during
play nud to cause a good deal of trou
ble, and sometimes alsi pniu when it ia
combed out afterwards by the nurse,
who is not always as geutle as she
ought to be. Home NotcB.

Changeable silks will be used a
great deal this winter for evening
wenr. The shades most sought after
will be the pinks, the new blues and
delicate greens.
At the present moment tucks aud
folds are more fashionable on Bkirts
than rlouuces (though the latter are
also ofteu seen), aud the new models
show a continuance of this style.
Thus far most of the new skirt
models, both for utility aud demi
dress uses, are absolutely untrimmed,
unless the rows of silk machine stitch
iug about the hem can be called trim
ming. Fancy crepons, especially those
with velvet appliques, cordiugs and
chenille clottings ou changeable
grounds, are the prime favorites for
wiuter wear. Better dressers have at
lust relumed to the woolen fuiui y as
the best fabric for continued 'service
aud high effect.
