Sydney, July 13 The Cape limes gives interesting details of General l)e Wet's recent successful strategy round Kroonetad. He euooeeded in luring Lord Methueu from the railway and then by clever and swifis moves turned and captured the railway 15 miles north of Kroonstad, blow up a bridge, and destroyed the line for several cniiea. Ho again swooped down on the railway and captured a couple of Companies of the City Imperial Volunteers and Yeomanry engaged in guarding the line, two alone reaching Kroonstud On receipt of the news Lord Methuen left Kroonstad to attack the Boors, bub .Da Web 6'everly •luded him ag^in and a*b doss- ssion of the railway, He waited till «Ix Corrpanies of tie Derbyshire Militia, a part of Methuen s fnroe sent to join the army were detraining, fvh'n the Boers shelled the Militia, who were compelled to yield after a fertile ' resistance. Having no artillery they were no mfttoh for the Boots. De Wet's com mando is estimated at 2500, with six guns. How h« managed to c»rry his guns by such awifti movement! is a myetery. Ihe assump tion is that they were buried during the previous Boer retreat.

Poisoner Terrible Peelings. Loss of Sleep. Impurities often accumulate in the blood until they produce the most dangerous symptoms of poisoning. The appetite is lost, digestion weak ened, and nerves exhausted. Mrs. F. Flynn, of Adelaide, So. Aus tralia, sends us her photograph and S»ys: ; "I used to have terrible feelings come over me. The doctors could do me no good. I could not sleep, my appetite left me, and I was a most miserable woman indeed. Having read of AVER'S Sarsapwffla I thought I would try it. To my great sur prise, after taking only two bottles I found myself very much better in every way. After taking six toottles all my disagreeable feelings left me, and I was completely cured."
