men on the Mystic river, intending to come
up behind. In this he was foiled, for the
Americans caught sight of him and imme-

stone wall and rail fence which were
there, between which was packed a lot of
hay. The enemy advanced up
Breeds Hill, pouring a heavy fire as they
came; the Americans, however, had re-
ceived orders not to fire until they could
see the whites of the British eyes and so
lay behind their defenses.

the Americans was almost used up before

Still the British moved on once more to
where the Americans were lying behind
their ambuscade. Nothing daunted, the
little band of patriots rushed out upon the
enemy, using their muskets as clubs, and
a hand-to-hand fight ensued. Bravely
they fought and desperately, but the odds
were too great, so, overcome by numbers,
the Americans were compelled to retreat.

Yorce from Her Husband.
Mrs. Carrie NJ. Glasscook, from whom her
husband. Charles L. Glasscock, has been
seeking divorce under sensational circum-
stances, heretofore described in The Times,
was asked yesterday evening for any ex-
PLANTATION she might he able to give for the
dismissal of her husbands suit, and replied
that she had 10 information whatever
concerning it,
Mrs. Glasscock said her husband, when
last heard from. was in the South, and so
far as she is now Informed, is there or in
New Mexico at the present time, but she
has had no correspondence with him.
She has been ill., she sa id,
and therefore has had no opportunity TO OBJ
tain information from the courts, but she
expressed surprise that the divorce had not
been granted as petitioned for, since she
had not opposed it.
She added her regrets that the case had
been dropped, as it would put her TO the
trouble and expense of filing suit Tor

ingly bitter in criticism of those whom she
classed as her enemies, and made good

statisticians often tell us agreeable facts
and again they deal out statements which
we hope are not true. A correspondent
in the London Lancet asks if red hair is
disappearing, and then adds his own testi-
mony that red heads VIII soon be memory
and no longer a reality. Statistics, which
sometimes tell the truth, aver that blondes
are disappearing and that brunettes are
annually increasing in proportion.
Red hair is supposed TO denote violent
temper. great quickpess of intellect, a
warm temperament. and particularly
clear complexion. If red hair is disap-
pearing. then tempers and inteliects must
be on the decrease. 1t would hardly be

The principal step, of course, if woman
desires to do this is to go up in the spring
and choose building site. The proba-
bilities are that the State will grant few
acres of land free, if the tenant is unoffend-
ing and does not seem likely to despoil the
property. Otherw ise, to make sure of
possession, 81 or So an acre will purchase

Many indeed, with their vast width and

Bonnets for strictly theater wear are more
minute affairs and are prominently howered.
A bunch OF bewildering millinery that might
be worn by either maid or young matron TO
the play, begins with wreathe OF tiny pink
crush roses that are drawn together until
they form one unbroken Zine that lies fiat
over the head from ear-tip to ear-tip.
Next in evidence comes narrow white

at one of which rears a black feathery
aigrette, giving tone to The whole Back of

Churlish. indeed, would be the spirit to
withhold interest in a new engagement,

Bread and Typhoid Fever.

A serious note of alarm was struck last
summer by Surgeon Major Rennie, who
sent communication to the Lancet, which
was published on September 10, showing
that typhoid fever was spread at Mecrut,
in India, by half baked, doughy plumcakes
eaten by the soldiers of our army at that
station, where impure water was used in
making the dough. A month later Drs.
Waldo and Welsh published their expert
ments on the temperature al which our bread
is baked, and carefully recorded the bac-
terra found in British breads.-The Lady.

The novelist has much TO answer for
as, for example, at the North London
police court. A girl was charged with
attempted suicide. Her mother was
called to explain, if she could, her daugh-

did it:
'sShe was fond of reading novels.
A severe critic is that lady; but far be it
