BRUssELs, Nov l7.-Mlil displtche,

brought the details of Capt Dhanish's
victories over the Arabs at Nyangwes
Kasongo some months ago. The Arabs
had intrenched themselves along the
Congo and outnumbcred the Belginus 20
tol. Nevertheless, after bloody fight,
the Belgians carried the Arab possess
sons. Many Arabs were killed and
wounded and 5000 were taken prison
ers. The fug tive Arabs tried to cross
the Alurba river some distance from
Nygasus. Hundreds were drowned
and the rest scampered in all direc-
tions.
Letters found upon the prisoners
showed that the Arabs had planned to
eNpel the Europeans from the whole
Congo region.
Among the prisoners were twenty
five Arab chiefs, one of them lIiben.

of Emin pashas death, as reported
last September, is confirmed again by

Things looked very doubtful for Jo- seph, though, until Tinsmith Robinson, who had his shop on the ground floor of the tenement, applied himself to the so- lution of the problem of prolonging the infants existence. This tinsmith was a cunning artisan and had made incuba- tors for the propagation of bacilli and microbes for scientific purposes. These incubators were metal chests only feet long by 10 inches deep and IS inches wide, with water and air chambers SC arranged that a moist heat of any desir- ed temperature could be maintained, but one of them was plenty large for Joseph, who was then only 14 inches long and weighed pounds, and into it he was placed.
 He was sufficiently alive in few hours to demand nourishment, and Foster Fla ther Robinson nadministereditt it to him with medicine dropper at the rate of about two tablespoonfuls of milk an hour. The plan was entirely successful. When the babe was weeks old, he had gained pound and quarter in weight and over 3 inches in length, and his foster parent had to make him a new incuba- tor because the first was no longer large enough.
 His new nursery is larger and more comfortable than the first one, has better ventilating apparatus, and one of the sides Is made of glass so that Joseph can be seen reposing in his little wire basket lined with wool. There is an automatic regulator that closes the ventilators if the temperature falls below 9S degrees and opens them if it rises above 100. Jo- seph now takes his nourishment from a regulation nursing bottle.
 The idea of incubators for prematurely born irHants is not an entirely new one. Most well equipped maternity hospitals have them, and many precarious ex- istence has been preserved by their use. Joseph's great good luck lay in the fact that one was found for him at a moments notice and without any foresight of the necessity for it, and that some one who understood the scientific principles in- volved was at hand to take him in charge. He owes his life to an intelligent me chanic.

MRS. w. H. ToBIN. preliminary con- vention at Dallas, where some 800 were present, decided to have two organiza- tions of men and women respectively. The women went to work with a will and not only gathered a very respecta-
 ble lot of Texan specimens of work and curios, but raised money in all the effect i've ways known to women. At the end
 of year it was found that the men had done practically nothing except to spend all the money the ladies had turned over
 to them, for the latter were under con-
 trol of the former so far as finances went. Then the ladies determined on
 an independent organization and in spite
 of persistent opposition got it incorpo-
 rated July 26, 1899.
 It was late, but they accomplished
 wonders. Mrs. w. H. Tobin of Austin was unanimously elected president, and
 several vice presidents and directors
 were chosen. In every city and good sized town some lady was chosen to
 lead in the work. They gave elocution- ary contests, readings, suppers, concerts
 and balls and finally got up voting
 contest for the most popular young lady
 in Texas, which brought few hundred dollars from the young men. Their zeal attracted attention, and some large con-
 tributions were made by men interested
 in the state. George Gould and c. P. Huntington gave 5000 each-more, in fact, than all others contributed.
 Thus the ladies not only raised the
 money for the building, but enough to secure statues of the heroes of Texan history, and these make quite an addi-
 tion to the display. Among the ladies
 most prominent in this great work are
 Mrs. E. NJ. House, Mrs. J. B. Stuggs of
 Dallas, Mrs. Val c. Giles, Mrs. J. NJ.
 Burroughs, Mrs. Judge Henry, Mrs. c. F. Drake and Mrs. Anna D. Hearne. The fact that Texas is represented he fair at all is due entirely to these ladies and their associates.
