WARS pLAYrH1Nos AT THE HOOK.

According to the reports from Sandy
Hook, the experimenters with big guns
and shells are not ceasing to lend an
agreeable excitement 10 the lives Of
excursionists and other navigators in
the lower bay. 1t Is related that ex-
periments were tried yesterday with
amusing little shells containing about
three hundred pounds each Of nitro
glycerine. Being discharged at a high
angle, the danger zone" when these
shells were used was somewhat mar
rowed; but II Ia explained, with infinite
relish. that the explosive force was
SUFFICIENT to crush In the bottom OF a
vessel within fifty feet OF the point OF
eruption.
To add to the intense interest of the
narrative and give an idea OF the uncer-
tainties OF the situation, the informa-
ton is thrown In that the shells had
delayed action" fuses attached. That
is, fuses that began to act when the
shells struck the water and completed
their job when the missiles had sunk
twenty or thirty feet The explosions
which followed the action of the fuses
shook land and sea. and threw columns
Of water nifty or sixty feet into the air.
| Experiments with these playthings OF
war are to be continued. 1t will make
highly interesting sequel to the story
OF the tests II the DELAYED action OF
fuse some day continues until boat
has entered within the prescribed nifty
feet. Then some OF our friends will
have the opportunity closely to observe
the fashion after which We would, IN
defending our coast, receive our enc.

No wonder the people OF Mars have been search

1t is evident from their progress in science
that those people never sinned, for we see they
have pushed their intellectual researches far be-

Muddy COMPLEXION.

A mud-colored skin is usually an IN
dication of bad blood. Either the liver
is lazy, those organs that strain the
blood are out Of order or the diet Is not
sufficiently nourishing. Before cold
creams, lotions or other external reme-
dies are applied go to physician or
medical library and find out the cause
of the ugly and unhealthy conditions.
The doctors 'read UP" case and the
nurse pulls the patient through. There
is no reason why the laity should not
read. too, and use the money saved In
fees to pay for outdoor sports, medicated
baths and relishing, wholesome articles

staten Island Girls.


o the Editor:
Staten Island girls possess
Beauty rare:
Faces with more iovciiness,
I declare,
Never beamed before my eyes
And I've trod meath many skies
They seem made TO idolize,
They're so fair.
Their pace is military
On the street.
As they pass you. looking very
Coy and neat,
While the color OF the rose
On their soft cheeks brightly slows.
And they sweetly smile on those
Whom they meet
But they nearly all deceive;
Yes, they do:
But why should they believe
All that you.
and many others say?
Why, we only mean to play!
And. believe me, so do they:
1t Is true.
stiil. II love them dearly
Blame mo not;
Just search your conscience clearly,
And wot
You'll confess you oft did feel
Thei influence DER you steal.
For they seem your beau-ideal
To dot.

Never neglect the bath for the children.
IL sea bathing is a fad, 1t is a sensible

The Breakfast for You.
Fresh oaten Meal, with stewed Fruit

Coffee.

This Is breakfast enough for any
body. There Is change In 1t, and thats
what the system Graves. canned
peaches, pears and apricote, dried cher
ries and berries, or green apples stewed
and sweetened, are very good hoatihs
round a bowl of nicely cooked meal.
Trim, butter and salt the toast and lay

one egg will be sufficient. Have the
coffee diluted with boiling milk unless
