heavy. The Spanish claimed to have lost
about thirty five killed and 100 wounded.
1t is now learned that the great victory
that the Spaniards predicted ended in ig-
nominous defeat The rebels hold Nov
Spaniards retired after suffering heavy
loss
The insurgents numbered about 1900,
but they were strongly entrenched in FAY
Ito and Novelette,. At the head Of the Nov
eleta peninsula the ground was honey
combed with rife pits, and the town de-
Tended from assault by earthworks planted
with rapid fire cannon and several pieces
of heavy artillery.
Fourteen thousand Spanish troops I'M
der General Rios attacked the first line of
rebels at Novelette,, and the rebels fell back
to the main line Of Dononze, a mile in the
rear of the picket line. The Spanish had
their plans we'll arranged. They placed the
cruiser Castillo in shore, and their guns
covered the attacks Of the royal troops.
The cruisers shells reached the outside de-
lenses Of the city.
The fight started at o. clock ON Sunday,
Nov. 8, and by o'clock in the afternoon
the insurgents outer works had been
evacuated.
Then general attack followed, Rios
throwing the main body of his first brig
ade against the rebel entertainments. The
gunboats opened fire on the enemy, but,
owing to bad gunnery, failed to cause any
damage to the defenses. The Cardelia,
the closest to CavitO, was fully six miles
from the town, and all of her shells fell
short, owing to tho extreme elevation
given to the ships cannon.
When Rios men reached the insurgent
works, a terrific fire was opened Oh them.
They marched forward resolutely until
the rifle pits commenced to belch forth
fire, moving down the front ranks. The
column faltered, then retreated slowly I'M
der heavy fire. The Spanish troops were
in the open and subjected to the full effect
of the fire. Had the rebels gunnery been
good Rios could have been slaughtered.
Wednesday, Nov. II, Rios prepared and
headed second attack on Novelette,. He
threw his entire army against the redoubts
and was routed with heavy loss in the
first attack.

What Is EafiynnI

Fatigue is the natural result Of labor,
and as such is periodic symptom with
which every healthy person is familiar.
1t is one OF the laws Of organic life
that periods Of relaxation shall succeed
periods Of activity. The heart itself is
normally in repuso for about one-third
Of the time consumed hy each beat-a
fact in which there is something par
ticularly suggestive and interesting,
since psychologists agree that about one
third of the 81 hours should be devoted
to sleep.
Life is made up of series OF vibra-
tioHs in which tension and rest succeed
each other The heart vibrates about 20
times minute; the vibrations Of the
respiratory organs occur about Is times
i'll the same period, while the vibrations
Of the whole organism may be said to
complete their cycle once il "a hours.
Abnormal fatigue, a state approaching
exhaustion, occurs when one attempts to
alter natures rhythm, when the hours
of tension are made TO encroach upon
those which should be devoted to rest,
when muscle and nerve already fatigued
are driven to further exertion. Fatigue
Of kind known as overtraining re-
suits, in the case Of the athlete, i'll heart
weakness and shortness of breath" loss
OF wind, as it is called-vhiie the long
continued fatigue occasioned by excess
i've application to professional or busi-
ness pursuits results i'll nervous prostra-
tion or even IN paralysis.
While excessive fatigue is in itself IN
wise, ore Of the chief dangers which re-
suits from it is that commonly indicated
by the term Catching cold. Thus the
danger of sitting il draft or on the
damp ground Is many times doubled
after great exertion. The application of
beat TO the surface is q more logical pro-
cedure after extreme fatigue.
Loss Of sleep Is enc of the first sypm-
toms Of abnormal fatigue. Habitual in
somnia from this cause is TO be treated
only in one way, by absolute rest

Pronunciation of Deaf,

j. W. asks this question: els the
pronunciation of deaf as def due to
any other cause than Anglomania?
Forty years ago, and even less, the
common pronunciation in this country
was def. Webster's Dictionary of
1855 confirms this statement, and men
lions that def is common III England.
The same dictionary refers to the rhymes
Of Chaucer and Watts to show that the
early pronunciation was 'deef' III Eng
land also.
The new English dictionary, edited
by j. A. H. Murray, thus trea,s Of the
pronunciation OF deaf ("def"): 1.-The
original diphthong remains in northern
dialects. In standard English the vowel
was long until the modern period, and
so late as FITS, it was rhymed with
relief by Prior and Watts. The pro-
nunciation Cdif,' with Il long,) is
still widely diffused dialectically, and
in the United States. In many English
dialects the en- is still diphthongab

the city's busiest arteries, near Nesey
and Greenwich streets. Old brass nau-
teal lamps. that have seen lets of serv
ice in all sorts Of weather, hang from
the ceiling by chains. Several ancient
and dilapidated figuleheads, which have
faced the storms Of many years at sea,
stare at TIE scenes of reyelry from cor.
ners.
The walls are hung with relics OF
many voyages. Pieces of rope, old ma.
rine prints, portraits Of famous skip
pers Of the long ago, models carved by
sailor men, Old flags, many of which
foated from historic battleships, and
other bric-a-brac OF the brine, decorate
this nautical taproom, whose proprietor

The Blind Slave Girls of Canton.

Passing down the streets Of Canton at
night, my attention was called to num-
bers Of blind girls from IA to IS years
Of age dressed in brilliant outer gar
ments, with their faces rouged and
their hair ornamented with flowers. A
woman, carrying musical instrument,
led several of these girls, and b have
since learned that they were owned by
this mistress. who conducted them, by
night, to the lowest parts Of the city,
and by their playing, singing, and in
most disreputable ways, she secures an
income through them that enables her
to live in ease and comfort. I have met
no class Of. persons that seemed SO pitt
able as these blind singing girls 1t il
regarded all affection for u girl to be
bora III Chinese family, and when the
girl is blind, her life IS one Of oeaselass
neglect and cruelty, and often, if the
family Is poor, she is sold for small
amount to one Of these dealers in human
bodies, who plies her nefarious business
until death snatches her victim from
her. -Baltimore Sun.

ACTRESSES OFF THE STAGE.
Comments of One of Their Sex Upon Their
Dress and Behavior.


dressed like an actress" is the slur
we often hear cast by woman Oh a
badly dressed member of her own sex.
Men and women alike are too apt to
form their opinions Of every one and ev-
erything by the more conspicuous in
stead Of by the better side. If we stop
TO look at the women ON our New York
stage today, we shall DO forced to real
izo that, rs is the case in every other
sphere Of life, there are women who
dress well and Others who dress badly.
1.-The Broadway freak" is the standard
from which outsiders often judge wom-
en- Of the stage. This type of actress
seems to court notoriety by her ridicu-
lousy exaggerated dress, bleached hair
and roGged face. Outsiders are so igno-
rant Of stage people that they are often
surprised to see their favorites appear in
quiet costume Oh the street. Again,
actresses are not callous, though some
times yOuDS people seem to think so,
judging by the loud way they make
their comments at seeing public person
on the street. One day, Miss George
CayvGn, dressed III her usual quiet way,
was sitting IL 4 corner of street car,
while some young girls were excitedly
arguing IS TO whether or not it was Miss
Cayvan. Naturally annoyed. Miss Cay
van bit her lip, and one of them ex-
claimed, THAT is Miss Cayvan; that is
just the way she bites her lip" Miss
Cayvan is only one OF our many actresses
who dress as u lady should on the street.
Hiss Hand Adams appears on the
stage IL Snowy costumes, while ON the
street, unless very familiar with her
face, one would think her a pretty
schoolgirl, who had been carefully taught
refinement Of manner and dress. Miss
Viola Allen, in her neat street gowns,
passes by ono SO quietly that it is not
easy TO recognize the clever leading lady
ut the Empire. Miss Bessie Tyree al
ways dresses in refined taste. Her gowns
fit her to perfection, and are thoroughly
correct.
Mrs. Kendall is about the best dressed
English actress We know here. The "city
of fcgs" has yet mere to learn from her
gay sister over the channel. One might
wish that Miss Isabel Irving would be a
little more smart in her dress, and that
Miss katherine Florence would put up
that pretty hair. Miss Elsie de Wolfe,
when dressed for reception, almost
surpasses her own handsome stage COS
tunes. Miss Eehan looks rather well of
the stage, even if her chin is "a little
high i'll the air. Miss Maxine Elliott and
her pretty gowns make q puzzle as to
which IS the prettier, the actress or the
dress. Who has seen Miss Julia Mar
lowe, Mrs. WhifTen, Mrs. Walcot or
Miss Gladys Wallis without learning Il
lesson i'll taste from her appearance?-

a homicide occurs every two hours in
Italy. This was one Of the many star
Ting statements made By Baron Caro-
falo, distinguished Italian criminol-
osist. IN Il lecture delivered on Grim
inality in Relation to the Education CT
tho People" IL the Roman college. His
audience included Queen Nargherita.
IN Italy the annual loss OF life By
homicide Casually by lethal weapons)
numbers about 1900 souls. Compared
with France, for instance, she has 10
homicide3 a year for Frances l, and
So for Donmark's I. The Latin popu-
lations, indeed, in both hemispheres
havo q bad pre-eminence over the leu
tonic in crime generally. and OF these
Latin populations the italian is the
worst.
Baron Garofalo proceeded to give the
reasons why. In the first place, vendetta,
which III Greece was herois.n and in
medieval Europe laudable custom,
has fingered longer in Italy than il any
other country; dUeling, also, is more
frequent III Italy than elsewhere. To the
religious Instruction. given ii Great
Britain and the United States Of Amer
lea he attributed the fact that these
countries have i'll 80 years diminished
by one-hah the annual proportion Of
their Gelinq1ents and mendicants, while
i'll Italy the want of similar instruction
has resulted i'll the positive increase OF
delinquency and mendicaHcy since 1862
When to these considerations we add the
increased hardness Of living IN the young
kingdom, the strain pQt upon the moral
resisting power by a crushing poverty,
the squa!id dwellings, the defective ali
mentation, by which the brain is starved,
when it is not actually poisoned, by the
stimnlauts in which relief from misery
is sought, and the depreciation OF life as
1t exists under such conditions, We ar-
rive at an ensemble of causes which
quite accounts for these sad statistics.

PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE.
C1ri-1s Invccations by Famous Historical
Persorares.

fers0E3.-eS.
One of the earliest records in history
OF a prayer before battle is that of Chill
deric, king OF Caul, a pagan, who before
going into battle az Zuelpich, some 400
years after Christ, prayed to the God Of
the Christians 10 help him to victory.
His foe was Attila, king CT the Huns,
and Childeric vowed if God would give
him the victory he would embrace the
Christian faith.
The prayer Of Hungarian officer be-
fore one OF the battles fought for tie in
dependence OF Hungary in 1919 was as
follows: 81 viii not ask thee. Lord. 10
help Us, and knov thou wilt net help
the Austrians, but if thou wilt sit on
yontler hill thou shalt not be ashamed
of thy children. This was the PRAYER
of the Fighting Bishop" Leslie before
enc of the battles tonight in Ireland: 80
God. for our unworthiness we are not fl
to claim thy help, but if we are bad
our enemies are worse, and if thou seest
not meet 10 help Us we pray thse help
them not, but stand thou neuter ON this
day and leave it to the arm Of the flesh. -
The one offered before the battle OF
Edgehill by Sir Jacob Ashley was:
''Thou knowest. Q Lord, that I shall be
very busy this day, and if 1 forget thee
forget thou not me, D." and then the com
mand followed, March on, boysr' As
King Edward advanced with his col
urlns TO Rannockburn he remarked TO
his aids. seeing the Scotch on their
knees: "Sec. they kneel. The rebels aye
asking pardon" Umphravillo was
heard to remark: eyes, but it is to the
King OF kings. These men conquer or
die on this field"
Oliver Cromwell had public prayers
before going to baltic on several occa-
sions-as, for instance, previous to the
battle OF Dunbar 1t is curious fact
that the English prayer book contains
prayers, Or a least one prayer, to be said
before going into action ct sea, while
nothing is provided for use before en-
