Considerable comment has been ex

.Dietary studies made by the depart
ment of agriculture among negro
families in eastern Virginia show that
the average fuel value of the food con
sumed is as large or larger than
among white families In moderate
circumstances in Xew York and New
England. Another strange fact de
veloped is that the negro can live
much more cheaply tban the average
white and yet get as much real bene

years old she does not appear larger

quiet and order are supreme.
A new method of circulating the
llible among the natives of the Philip
pine islands is projected by the Amer
ican llible society. Instead of de
pending upon missionaries from the
United States a natie Tagalo and a
native Pangasinian are to be em
ployed. They will go into the interior
of the country and will probably be
the first to carry books Into the wilds
of Luzon. The Bible, is in process of
translation into the curious dialects
of the islanders.
A few weeks ago Gen. Lawton said
to Dean Worcester at Manila that he
had no fear in regard to death on
the battlefield, but his heart ached
when he reflected upon the needy con
dition in which his wife and little chil
dren would be left were he killed.
His forebodings in their behalf have
been proved groundless by the hearty
gifts of the people, which have
reached the noble sum of $95,000, n
tribute to tho memory of one of the
"bravest and noblest types of soldierly
nullity tho nation has produced in all

Washington, .Ian. 110. Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg has compiled some fig
ures as a basis of mortality calcula
tions in tho Spanish-American war
which, incidentally, developed the in
teresting fact that the mobilization
of the army during tho Spanish
American war was accomplished in
only a fraction of the time required
to assemble an equivalent number of
troops at the outbreak of the civil
war. In May, 1801, the main strength
of the union army was 10,101, and in
one month it had Increased to only
00,050. In the first mouth of the
Spanish-American war the United
States army, starting at 1011,720, had
Increased before the close of tho
month to 202,520. This is regarded us
a remarkable feat of military organi
zation, far surpassing the best results
obtained by the Hritish government.

It is a simple, innocent tiling, com

about half a pint of it to be drunk

BRITISH CASUALTIES IN THE WAR,
Description of lin lluttlo of Sploiikop-
Tlio Summit Comerted Into u I'orfcct
Hull Ilcllogiuph Mctsigo from
Ulnibcrley.
London, .Jan. no. History pauses
for a time in South Africa. It is one
of those unsatisfactory pauses that
aru nearly as trying to P.ritisli nerves
as u sequence of reverses and appar
ently it will terminate only when
Lord Roberts gives the word for the
forward movement into the Free
Stale, which, according to tho most
cheerful view, he will be unable to
do for a fortnight. Whether he will
permit (Jen. Uuller to make another
attempt to relieve Ladysinitli is quite
outside the knowledge even of those
closely connected wijh the war ollice.
"Wit li the troops due to arrive next
month he may think himself strong
enough to try two large operations.
Combining the forcea under (lens. Me
thuen, French nnd tlatacre and add
ing to them the arriving troops, Lord
Koberts would have 70,000 for the in
vasion of the Free State, with -10,000
to 50,000 guarding communications,
und -10,000 trying to rescue Lady
smith. Tho public burns with impatience
that something should be done, but
there is nothing to do but to wait
on the preparations. Tho tiling on
which everybody is agreed is that
more men must go. Twenty thou
sand two hundred and twenty-two
men and 155 guns are at sea. Eleven
thousand infantry and 0,000 cavalry,
including 5,000 yeonieii, are practi
cally ready to embark. Therefore,
the government, without doing more;
can place at the disposal of Lord Rob
erts -10,000 additional men and 155
guns. The further purposes of the
war ollice officials are supposed to
embrace somewhere in the neighbor
hood of 50,000 more men.
Gen. Midler's operation has cost 012
men so far officially reported within
ten days. Applying to the 200 Spion
kop casualties reported to-day the
rule of proportion, the losses of offi
cers indicated is 500 ensultios yet to
come. The total casualties of the
war, compiled from official reports,
arc 9,5211, nearly a division. Of these
2, ISO are killed, -1,811 wounded and
the rest are prisoners. The aggregate
Hritish home troops in South Africa
number 110,000, the Nntulian 7,158
wnd Cape Colonials 21,000.
Demerit. tlon of tho lt.illlo of Spionkop.
Loudon, Jan. 30. A special dispatch
from Frere camp, dated Friday, .Jan
uary 2G, 0:10 p. in., says: "I have just
ridden in here, having left Gen. Jltil
ler's forces in the. new possessions
south of the Tugela, to which they
retired in consequence of the reverse
at Spionkop. The fighting, both be
fore and after the occupation of the
mountain, avus of a desperate charac
ter. Spionkop is a precipitous moun
tain, overtopping the whole line of
kopjes along the upper Tugela. The
Nek was strongly held by the Doers,
who also occupied a heavy spur, paral
lel with the kopje where the enemy
was concealed in no fewer than H5
ritle pits and was thus enabled to
bring to bear upon men a damaging
cross-fire, the only possible point for
a Hritish attack being the southern
side, with virtually sheer precipices
on the left and right. What with
the rifles, the machine guns and tho
big gun, the summit was converted
into a perfect hell. The shells ex
ploded continually in our ranks and
the rillo fire, from an absolutely un
seen enemy, was perfectly appalling.
Reinforcements were hurried up by
Gen. Warren, but they had to cross a
stretch of flat ground which wns lit
erally torn up by the flying lead of tho
enemy. The unfinished trench on the
summit gae very questionable
shelter, as the enemy's machine guns
were, .so accurately trained upon the
place that often 10 shells fell in the
trench in a single minute. Mortal
man could not permanently hold such
a position. Our gallant fellows held
it tenaciously for 21 hours and then
taking advantage of the dark night,
ubundoncd it to the enemy."
