DOW BOERS PITCH THEIR LAAGERS. Always Put Tents Between Parallel Lines of Hills. A. C. Htles, thp Australian corre Spo4dent who was captured by the Boer$ and released by President Steyn, wrtitig frqN Burgh'ersdorp, sags: "Possibly it may interest English men ad wotnen, too, for that matter, to know what a fighting laager is like, and, as I have seen half a dozen of them from the enemy's side of the wall, a rough pen sketch may not be amIss. In war times the Boer never under any clrcumstances makes his iaager in the open country if there are any kopjes about. No matter how secure he may fancy himself from at tack, no matter if there Is not a foe within fifty miles of hin, the Boer comdander always pitches his laager In a place of safety between two par allel lines of hi1ls, so that an attack cannot be made upon him, either front or rear, without gIving 'aim an im mens'eldvagtige over the attacking force, even if the enemy is ten times as strong in numbers. By this means the Boers make their laagers almost Impregnable. If they have a choice of ground they pick a narror; ravine or gully, with a line of hills front and rear, covered with small, rocky bowlders and bushes. They drive their wagons in between these hills. P"The women are placed in safety, for it is a noticeable fact that very large numbers of women have follow ed their-husbands and brothers to the war, not to act as viragoes, not to un sex themselves, nor to handle the rifle, but o nurse the wounded, to comfort the dying and to lay out the dead. I have heard them singing raund the camp fires in the starlight, but it was hymns that they sang, not ribald songs. I have seen thom kneeling by the side of men in the moonlight, but not in wantonness, but in mercy, and many a man who wears the British -g ori to-day can bear me witness ac I speak the truth. "The foot scouts take up their posi tions among the rocks and shrubs on thc hills in front and rear o: the laager. Each scout has his rifle in his hand, his pipe in his teetLh, his bandolier full of cartridges over his shoulder and his scanty blanket un 'der his left arm. No fear of his sleep ing at his post. He is fighting for honor, not for pay; for home, not for glory, and he knows that on his acute ness the lives of all may (lepend. He knows thit his comrades and the wo men trust him, and he values the trust as dearly as British soldiers ever did. No matter ho*w tired he may be, no matter how famished, the Boer senti nel is never faithless to his orders."

The armored train is one of the in strumentE of war that has received a severe test in South Africa, and the reconnoitring performed by these en gines of modern warfare has served to call mor- than passing attention to t e -nbject. Credit has been given to Admiral Fisher, of the British navy, for the first use of the armored train in actaai war, when, in 1882, he' covered a locomotive with boiler plate and equipped cars, similarly protect ed, with field guns and put them to effective practical use. But the germ of this idea goes back further than 1882. When the Ger mans closed their vise-like grip upon Paris the French made frequent sori ties from the city, and in many of these attacks they were assisted b : field guns mounted on wagons an carriages. Later they were mountet on railroad cars, which were protect ed in their vital points against the enemy's guns. They could hardly bd called armored trains such as havd been used in South Africa, and whether Admiral Fisher got his notion of an armored train from the be sieged Parisians is, therefore, an open question. -'Since 1882 most of the military Powers of Europe have been expert menting with armored trains. Great Britain, as if anxious to sustain her reputation of first having invented th' new instrument, has steadfastly iep4 the lead, and has now probably the most complete and efficient armored, trains in the world. The best that the British army possesses is the en gine and train of the First Sussex Artillery Volunteers, and this is far superior to the hastily constrnctet trains that have previously been iii service. The model train was made' from special designs for war pur poses. The protected engine carrie, a Maxim gun, and the protected cars have heavy field guns operated by machinery, so that any part of the surrounding country can quickly be covered. Arrangements are made to, compensate for the recoil, and also to. give steadiness and stability to the. cars. This latter is accomplished by: an arrangement for clamping the truck to the rails by strong screw clips whenever the gun is fired. There are also several steel plated vans accompanying the train in which horses and soldiers can be safely con veyed. The armored train, it has been stated, was never intended to be used except in conjunction with cavalry, and it was dne to lack of support of mounted troo ps that several of the disasters to the hastily constructed trains in South Africa occurred. In co-operation with a strong force of' cavalry the armored train is a formidd able weapon, but without the help of mounted troops a small quantity of dynamite wight be used to destroy the roadbed in the rear and wreck. the train. In spite of the lack of all' cavalry support, however, this type of movable fortress performed notable achievements in South Africa, and in the sorties from Ladysmith and Kim ky it nas the chief implement that Boers back. With ma chi' a~- pieces the mov ~ing trai iable offensive apuaratus, be . u' move up close to the 'enemy 'snu etreat to a uoint beyvond the range, -s.The rapidity t ashoicih rendersbiseaofo ato batteries of an enemy tohia most the only way to defeat its opera-1 tions is to wreck or derail it; then it becomes a helpless target for long range guns. The question of armored motor cars which could travel over an or dinary road or level stretch of conn try has also received some attention in the South African conflict. Several cars were extemporized hurriedly for this purpose, but they proved of little 'use in a rough country, and, as com manders do not alwas choose a level 'space for their battles, the armored ynotor ca~ is still a wi :r-.chine of doubtful efficiency. In the moun tain~ous regions of South Africa it is -hopelessly inadequate for effective service, and, with the exception of a $eW\i.sola ted instances, they were ~4esly taken up. Value of Color a Flowers The colors of flowers are devices by which insects are enabled to ald~ fertilize them. W it h t visits many plants ra i d be unable to ~form seed, ai-a would cease to exist. ~The common red clover, for example, if protectea from insects by nets, will set no seed. Many gaps would thus be formed, and the surviving species, striving to occupy the vacant space, would widely alter the present distri bution of plants, and stimulate the production of new forms. Further, ni ithout colored flowers, the insects that live on plant nectar could find no food, and many species of bees, lbut terflies and moths would die out. The result of this extinction would be far reaching both for gain and loss. We might cease to obtain honey, but, on the other hand, the depredations of Liosts of ravenous grubs, the larvae of a moths and butterflies, would come to mn end, while such birds as are now 1 lependent for their food upon these insects would perish. Far -eaching, indeed, would be the effects ,roduced in the complex system of iature by the loss of color in flowers.. ['he tame and neutral aspect of our orests and gardens would be among he least important of resulting ~ ~hanges. Vecrv "Absent-Minded" Indeed. A surgeon who is often absent- IC ninded was dining at the house of a I riend. t "Doctor," said the lady of the Louse, "as you are so elever with the :nife, we must ask you to carve the eg of mutton." "With pleasure," was the reply. a And setting to work, he madle a .eep incision in the joint of meat. 3P ~hen (whatever was he thinking 0 bout?) he drew from his pocket aC undle of lint, together with several r< nen bandages, and began to bind up 2e "wound" in due form. p The guests were stricken dumb at g ie sight. But he, still deep!y ab- o >rbed in thought, suddenly lookea. ti p and remarked, triumphantly: bi HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. Cocoauut Cones. Separate the whites from the yolks of three eggs and put the former into .n basin, add a pinch of salt aad whisk them to a very stiff froth; then stir in lightly half a pound of powdered sugar and six ounces of desiccated or freshly grated cocoanut.

If you wish to have the sauce quite thin strain it through a thick cloth instead of a sieve. Fruit For Breakfast. Fruit of some kind-and under the head of fruit all varieties of melons and berries belong-should be on every well-ordered breakfast table. It is generally abundant in most sec tions of the country, and its cost is trifling when its healthfulness is taken into-consideration. There is a dis position, however, among housekeep ers to use fruit-both cooked and un cooked-on the tea or supper table, and exclude it from the breakfast ta ble, which seems contrary to the'best hygienic knowledge of the subject. The experience of our ancestors gave them some tolerable correct opinions in regard to diet, and the old proverb in regard to fruit being "gold in the morning, silver at noon and lead at night" was formulated from practical observation. An Old-Fashioned Coffee Cake. Following are directions for making an old-fashioned coffee cake: Put one and a half cupfuls of sugar and ono cup of butter in a bowl and whip them up to a cream; add two eggs, well beaten, and blend them well with the sugar and butter; next stir in one cupful of New Orleans molasses, a teaspoonful of powdered cloves andI the same of ground cinnamon and quarter of a grated nutinet. Dissolve two teaspoonfuls of baking soda in a cupful of cold coffee and stir it in with the other ingredients; next stir in gradually two cupfuls of flour which has been sifted, then sprinkle in a cupful cf seeded and chopped raisins, stirring them well through the mixfure; last of all stir in grada ally two and a half cupfuls more of flour and stir the whole till it is per fectly smooth and free from lumps. Butter well the inside of two medium sized cake pans, then line them with sheets of white paper well buttered; divide the cake dough equally be tween the two pans and bake in a moderate oven until the cake cleaves from the sides of the pan and will not stick to a broom splint thrust through the centre of the loaf. Let the cake cool in the pan before turnin-e it qut. .ygge orio ned Apples. ~ Under the united scorn ot news paper paragraphists and popular writers the dried apple pie a departed from our~ tabi eninsipid fruit *v ..- , an seded y ~0.en 8eilera'T super- 5 tede tar plore '-.able fr~ts, like thetar plmapricots, reacas5 and others, which are now retai'd at so low a price that there is o rar tively little demand for dried ap.

PRESERVING ORANGES, New Process Which Is Said to Be Better Than Cold Storage. The Southern California Fruit Exe change, with headquarters in Los Angeles, has for some time been ex perimenting wit?'a'n'w system of preserving oranges while in process of shipment. Last year, experiments were made with good results, but the matter was undertaken too late in the season for anything definite to be de termined. The question has been taken up again this year, and, early as the orange season is, the Fruit Ex ehange is preparing to announce the complete success in every particular of its new system. R. R. Snowden, of Los Angeles, is the inventor, and the process con sists in fumigating the oranges with certain gases before shipment, in order to kill the fungus which is the cause of the decay. Test shipments have been made from Califorria to Kansas City and, upon the arrival of the cars here, it was found that of the natural frait which was unioed - a'1d untreated chemically, the decay was ten per cent.; of the iced fruit two per cent. was spiled; while of the portion that was treated by this new process of using gases, only one per cent. was unfit for use. If to this be added the fact the cost of the new treatment is very much below that of using ice, as is at present done, it can readily be seen how vastly important is the new invention. The cost of icing a car load of oranges across the continent is about $120, while it has been rough ily estimated that $10 will cover the cost of the chemical process. L. H. Cochrane, of the firm of W. G. Cochrane & Son, agents in this city for the Southern California Fruit Exchange, talked interestingty yes terday of the new method. "There is not the slightest room for doubt," he said, "that our new chemical pro -,ss has proven a success. N >t only is the fruit preserreZtbetter taan by the use of ice, but the saving in cost is tremendous. Just what the cost is :f using gases we do not know exact ly, as there seems to be considerable 4ecrecy surrounding the details of the matter, in California. But that it will :evolutionize the present methods of shipping fruit there can be little ques 5on.
