Show Forecasting l.orrt Robert-?- ' Campaign. History pauses for a time ia South Africa. It is one of those unsatisfactory pauses that are neatly as trying to British nerves as a sequence of reverses, and apparently it vi ill terminate only when Lord Roberts gives the word for the forward movement into the Free Mate, which, aeeordiug to the most cheerful view, he will be unable to do for a fortnight. Whether he will permit (leneral Fuller to make another attempt to relieve Ladysmith is quite outside the knowledge even of those closely connected with the war otliee. W ith the troops due to arrive next month, lie may think himself strong enough to try two large operations. Combining the forces under Generals Methuen, French and Gatacre and adding to them the arriving tfoops, Lord lloberts would have 70,000 for the invasion of the Free State, with 40,000 to 50.(00 guarding communications and . 40,000 trying to rescue Ladj-sraith- statue of to be Presented to France. The Washington statue association, of which Mrs. Justice Field is President, and the object of which is to pre- sent to France a statue of Washington, commemorative of the gratitude of the "MVomen of America for the aid rendered to their country in its infancy and hour of need by France, has just received a concession from the municipality of Paris of a beaut iful site at the intersection of Avenue de lena and the Avenue du Troeadoro. The monftment will be thoroughlj AVaxhingtou American, in that the statue was mod- eled in this country by American sculptors and has been cast in bronze by an American company. Moreover, the pedestals was designed by an American and will be executed in American granite. The incident chosen was when Washington took command of the army at Cambridge, and he is represented with uplifted sword, invoking divine aid. ft , , Soldier Not Amendable to State. Gov. Sayers of Texas has received a jetterfrom Secretary of State Root rel Htive to the recent trouble at Fort Ringgold, in which a soldier is alleged o have killed a citizen during a riot. The civil authorities recently demanded tlie surrender of the soldier and the commanding officer refused to comply. The matter was taken up with Washington, and it is now held that inasmuch as the killing occurred on the reservation surrounding the fort, and while the soldier was supposedly protecting the garrison, he is not amendable to the laws of the state. Killed In Mexico. A report is current at El Paso, Tex,, that six Americans, David Cusick, John Eldridge, George Lunt, Charles llurnes, Lon Webster aud Henry Williams. were shot during last week near the foot of the llacatete mountains, east of Guayraas, Mexico, by order of General Torres, who is in command of the Mexican troops now operating the Vaqui Indians in llacatete. AmerlcAim Export of Wheat and l.abor. The exportation of wheat from the United States lastyear was about bushels, possibly 00 per cent of which went to the British isles. The labor cost of producing flour, is something more than 20 cents a barrel, which made quite a loss to labor by reason of the export of wheat. 148.-000,0- Dandonald is Safe. Great anxiety in London has been removed by the announcement that Lord Dundonald's calvry forces, which it is feared were isolated among the hills in the neighborhood of Acton Homes, are safe on the south bank of the Tugela river. The War office denies the report that Ladysmith has surrendered. Senator Mason Asked to Resign. By an almost unanimous vote of the old Tippecanoe club of Chicago, Senator Mason was asked to at once resign his seat in the Fnited States Senate, and the secretary of the club was to strike his name from the roll of honorary members of the organ- ization.

Caring for Tells. th Cream. This is a delightful addition to "a little supper table, and is well worth the trouble it entails: You must boil a calfs head till it comes down to a pint of jelly. This you must clear from the sediment. Make a cup of good strong coffee (the berry is better for the purpose than the essence), and clear it with isinglass. Pour it on to the jelly, add a pint of cream, and sweeten to taste; give one boil up, and when slightly cooled off, pour into a glass mold, and turn out when set. Stwe4 Ox Tongne. Where an ox tongue is to be eaten hot, this is the best way in which to cook it: Having washed it, rub it well with coarse salt and a little saltpetre; let it lie for three days, and then boil until the skin can easily be removed. Now put it into a saucepan with a pint of good stock and about half a pint of the water in which it was first boiled; season with black and Jamaica pepper, two cloves, a tablespoonful of mushroom ketchup, a tablespoonful of or if not, lemon juice. Stir, without boiling, until perfectly tender; take up the tongue, strain and thicken the sauce with flour and butter, and pour it over serving at once. lemon-pickl- e, An entire new glass covering has been ordered for the roof of the Crys- The beauty and freshness of a veil tal Palace, in London.
