If the pipe has burst, it fibould first

The ingress of water from the cistern

If the pipe is of iron, the edges of the

temporary stopping is fixed, it should
be left for some hours—say during a
night—to "set" hard. The plug inside
the cistern may then be removed.
If the joint is successful, an extra
amount of felt or other coveriug should
be wrapped round the bandage, for the
spot is probably one more exposed than
the rest of the pipe.

Bine Pits Pull of Dead.
Atbara Camp, April 11.—Alahmoucl's
zareba, rifle pits and entrenchments are
literally choke full of dead, while tbe
ground outside the zareba on the south
side Is covered with hundreds of bodies.
The most striking feature of the en-
gagement was the picturesque storming
of tbe zareba. General Hunter, bimself
cheering, with helmet in hand, led the
Soudanese and Egyptian troops to the
zareba. They lost heavily in the rush. In
recognition of their signal gallantry, the
Sirdar, General Sir Herbert Kitchener,
provisionaely promoted on the field at the
close of the battle the sergeant -major of
each native • battalion which crossed the
zareba to a subaltern rank.
Major-Goneral Gataore led the British
brigade, and, accompanied by Private
Cross of the Cameron Highlanders, was
the first to reach the zareba. Private
Cross bayoneted it big Dervish who was
aiming pointblank at General Gataere.

eron Highlanders, was killed, seven bul-

The last words of Captain Urquhart of

The Birder after the battle said to Col.
Money, reterring to the slow, steady ad-
vance of the Cameron Highlanders, under
the withering fire of the Dervishes: "It
was one of the finest feats performed for
many years. You ought to be proud of
such a regiment."
There was an impressive scene Satur-
day afternoon, when three British officers
and eighteen men were kraried in front of
the zareba, where they fell. All the avail-
able officers. and detachments from the
various battalions were present. The Sou-
danese baud and the Highland pipers
played a lament. '

The Cycle of Truth.
*What a marvelous completeness there
is in a scripture rev.ordi It rounds the
cycle of truth, opening with a paradise
in which there was neither alternating nor
crying, nor travail; narrating, in pages
stained with blood and tears, man's bitter
heritage, self oauseda of weariness and
woe; and ending with the new heavens
and earth, on the air of whiah no stifled
green, nor sigh, nor dirge can ever break.
The pain of misunderstanding will be no
more; since we shall see eye to eye, and
know as we are known. The pain of
suspense will be no more, because we
shall behold the purposes of God in their
ultimate and beneficent ontwovking. The
pain of waning love will be no more,,
because in that happy land, as the chil-
dren sing, love is kept by a Father's
hand, and will be no more, because death
cannot intrude into that glad City of
Life. No cypress tree grows there, no
UNOUrilin'g garb is ever seen in those
streets, no funeral cortege ever winds its
slow length along them.—F. B. Meyer.
An -Round Honesty.
• To be intellectually dishonest is to be
dishonest. We have almost laughed out
of countenance the once prevalent notion
Shat a man may be personally honest and
yet politically dishonest, but there are
multitrales who still hold to the belief
that one inay bo intellectually dishonest
and yet be all right at heart. "1 am not
sure it Is true," said it teacher, "but I'
don't care to look it up—the children
will not know any better, anyway."
That teacher was b tellectually dishonest
—and not all right at heart. The same
may be said of the speaker who ea.cosee
his use of sophistries on the ground that
ho is not responsible for the inability of
the audience to detect them. An honest
man is honest ell round.
