FIGHTING THE HEREROS.
German Officers in Africa Picked Off by
the Native Marksmen.
Some oddities of campaigning against
the Hereros in German Southwest Africa
are detailed by Col. Bayer of the general
staff in some sketches which be has been
publishing from his personal experiences
in the field. One point that particularly
impressed him was the readiness with
which the Hereros and Hottontots sing-
led out the officers at long range.
"It wouldn't have been strange," said
he, "if we had, worn brilliant uniforms,
sashes or other insignia of rank. But
we didn't. In the presence of the enemy
we used exactly the same uniform and
equipment as our troops—suits of khaki
and cork helmets, with blue border. We
carried no swords.
"Every officer earried a rifle and a
cartridge belt with 120 rounds of am-
munitil>:n in it .exactly like the men.
Many of us assn wore bayonets. Hands,
faces, hair. uniforms, weapons, every-
thing
verything came to be of the same earthy col-
or. We often couldn't recognize one an-
other and all sorts of fenny blunders
took place.
"In spite of this outward similarity
the natives seemed never at a loss to
pick out the nfficers. Their extraordin-
ary power of vision enabled them to de-
tect the slightest sign ---a gesture of the
hand to control the advance of the fir-
ing Iine, the use of a field glass. the re-
ception of a report was enough to in-
dicate rank.
"In one case I remember, an officer
addressed by his superior turned to him
and instinctively raised his band to his
helmet in salute. Instantly the fire of
the natives was concentrated on them
and the superior was killed"

Horses Still in Demand.
(Hartford, Conn., Times.)
ITappily the horse has a faculty for up-
settine the gloomy predictions that he
is fated to be put out of business by the
automobile. The horse business has kept
right on cleevloping in spite of the fact
that the automobile industry has been
engaged in a similar undertaking. The
demand for horses is still great. The
supply of some classes of thein is inade-
quate. The price are high. The automo-
bile may scare the horse into the ditch,
but it isn't likely to crowd hint to the
wall. There will always be a field for
the horse, as there will always be a field
for the automobile.

HAVE YOU A PET CAT?
If So, Here Are Some Useful Hints for
You.
A friend of mine who owns a number
of cats, some among them being valuable
Angoras, gives valuable advice as to
their care. Whenever they show symp-
toms of sickness she knows just what to
do.
Colds among eatsare frequent, asthma
resulting sometimes from long exposure
to the weather. In colds or feverish
conditions homeopathic pellets of acon-
ite and belladonna are effective, given
alternately about once an hour. Puss
will take them easily because they aro
sweet and she is usually a candy fiend.
Never handle your cat when she is ill;
she don't like it. Careful nursing,
warmth and thorough diet are of the
greatest importance, and after seeing to
these things leave the sick cat alone and
nature and instinct will finish the cure.
Cats that have the best of care are of-
ten troubled with fleas, and this will
ruffle a cat's temper surely. It is al-
ways advisable to get .rid of them as
soon as possible.
An excellent way is to spread e, cloth,
cover it with cotton batting; put the
cat on this and rub strong spirits of
camphor well into the fur; gather up
the corners of the cotton batting and
cloth tight around the animal's neck and
holy. The little tormentors detest cam-
phor, and will get to the cat's head.
Have a dish of hot water handy, and
with n fine tooth comb you can soon
transfer the pests to the vessel. The
scent of the camphor clings to pussy's
fur and, acts as a preventive for some
time.
The beneficial qualities of grass as an
element in cat diet are emphasized by
all cat raisers, who say that it acts as a
tonic really necessary to their system.
