The weather throughout this
section has been considerably off
it's proper base since the day after
Christmas; in fact, the weather has
been very base. On last Friday
the thermometer stood 10 degrees
above zero and u inch ice was
formed. There is consolation in
the knowledge. however, that
bllzzards and freezes only intlict
US about once in ten years, and
there is no probability that the
term "Sunny South will become
obsolete.

everything was frozen as hard as

Cuban Insurgents Are Said to Havl

Cuban Insurgents Are Said to Have
Been Defeated.
Havana, Dec. "a. - Official advices
from Colon of the engagement with
the insurgents convey the impression
that they were Of much Importance.
Gen. Navarro, who was reported as
leaving Colon for the relief Of the
Spanish forces, encountered the in
surgents at the plantation Espana,
where his coming served to rescue the
detachment of Antilla. He followed
the insurgents upon their retreat and
overlook them at the plantation Ajava,
the cane field of which was burning.
Here q fierce fight occurred and the
insurgents were dispersed with heavy
loss. The number of soldiers killed
was seventeen. Gen. Navarro again
went In pursuit and at Banaguizs the
insurgents attacked him with great
impetuositH The troops made a brave
defense. Gen. Pratt made q forced
march to cut of the retreat of the in
surgents. The Dieromen battalion un-
der Gen. Asturias, with artillery, has
attacked Gomez and a force Of 1900
insurgents. The troops made the at
tack with the bayonet eight times, and
this. combined with the artillery fire,
swept the insurgents position, proved
effective and the rebels fed before the
advance of the troops. The insurg-
ents left twenty-five killed and prison
ers on the field and seventy wounded.
The official reports from the front
state that the force now invading
Matanzas number 1900 and that they
have carried away many of their dead
and wounded. The loss of troops ID
stated to be Insignificant.

A new E..mel for Metals.

The protection Of metals from rust
and other atmospheric influences has
been the subject of many recent pat
ents, and of those the newest is for an
enamel for gas apparatus and decora-
tive work of all kinds. For decorative
effect the capabilities of this enamel
are great. All colors, the most delicate
tints in any number. either dead or
bright, and both gold and silver, also
either dull or polished, are obtainable
In the same casting, and all alike are
Interchangeable, being affected neither
by exposure to the air nor to any heat
up to a bright red. The film of enamel
Is so thin that the most microscopic de-
tails Of the metal are unchanged.
Castings protected in this name are
not only capable Of fine artistic treat
ment, but they r also claimed to be
absolutely permanent and proof against
dirt and smoke, which d.sfigure other
work so rapidly.

A Good Hair Brush Properly Used

A Good Hair Brush Properly Used
Will Do the Work.
The right sort Of a hair-brush used
on the scalp two or three times a day
will remove every p%erceptible trace Of
dandruff. The scalp needs care, and to
reach it the hair should be cut with the
comb at intervals of extreme prox-
unity 30 as to bristle every portion Of
skin and brush away the scurf. The
only brush that will so through thick
hair is the metal-woven brush, which,
however, is not to be recommended
unless the desire is to produce badness.
What is known in trade as the barber
brushes are the best, OF which the un-
bleached and undyed boar's bristle ia
first choice.
1t is a mistake to buy a black brush.
Even IL the bristles are not dyed the
color conceals tile dirt and a dirty
brush will not clean the head; II the
bristles are dyed they will have lost
their firmness, and instead Of going
through the hair or scraping the scalp
they will bend under pressure. A wo-
mans hair brush should have bristles
not more than half an inch long, un-
bleached, white preferred, and stiff
enough to scratch but not irritate the
scalp; it should be handsewed, the
points should present an irregular sur.
face to correspond with the depressions
Of the scalp. Such a brush, wood bound,
cannot be bought for much less than

Observation-Disclosures Clear Lighter

Electro-Hydrogen Cigar Lighter.
A new electro-hydrogen cigar lighter
which has just been put on the market

on the ordinary electric cigor lighter.
The outside jar, which is made Of Elem.

and with a cover Of hard rubber, IL
really a battery cell, which contains
dilute sulphuric acid with carbon and
zinc electrodes. The hydrogen gas given
of by the zinc is carried upwards.
and Is set free by the pressure Of q
lever, which also causes an electric
spark to be generated. AS the spark oc-
ours in the path Of the escaping gas,
the latter is ignited, and burns with the
hot blue flame characteristic Of hydro.

hold enough gas to burn for about ten
or fifteen minutes, and the cost Of the

to exceed 1Oc q month.
