SPANS SAVAGE METHODS.
she IL Numbering Non-Conbatants In the
Philippines. Just as In Cuba.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. lO.-A private letter
from Bulakan, Philippines. dated July 81, shows
that the spaniards are constantly losing ground
against the reyolutlonists, though the reports
sent out to Europe contain records OF Spanish
victories. This letter says:
The revolutionists are following the Cuban
tactics OF surprising conveys and detachments
OF Spanish troops and In nearly all cases have
been successful. In this way they have secured
q large number of rifles and ammunition.
Gen. Aguinaldo has fixed his headouarters
In this province close TO Manila. Wounded and
dead spanish soldiers are constantly sent into
Manila. sun We read daily OF victories over
the Insurgents.
The truth is that most OF these Spanish vic
tories are over non-combatants, whom the
troops slaughter, during their retreat. It Is q
PITY that no foreign correspondents are here to
tSu the world about Spanish methOdA."

scientific knowledge beyond that required in

two patients who have been seriously Injured
by exposure to N.rays, and It seems to me that
the use Of the rays should be regulated in much
the same way as the sale OF poisons. A man who
runs an N-rly studio told me not long ago that
about thrcc. fOurths of his patrons were moved

NEWEST BATHING SUITS.

Materials and Colors In Fashion-Two
Simple Models For Home Dressmakers.
The newest bathing gowns have skirts
Of greater length than formerly worn,
and these are certainly more becoming
and graceful than the shorter ones,
which hung away from the figure and
widened the hips and destroyed the
long, graceful curves of the lin BIS. The
longer skirts may be very full, and, il
Weighted by deep hem, braid trim
uings or founce will retain their
shape even under difficulties.
A variety of materials is used, be-
ginning with surah silk and satin for
the most expensive suits. with mohair,
cravanette, flannel and last, but by no
means least, the useful serge. As re-
CARDS colof, deep red. navy blue and
prussian blue are all used, and some
use the upholstery serges in artistic
shades, but these naturally soon lose
their color and acquire faded appear.

good dark blue or red.
To readers who contemplate making
their own bathing gowns the advice is
given to select simple pattern and
make 1t up without Innings. The knick-
ers, however, will be more comforta able
if made with linen or cotton band.
They are joined up front and back en-
tirely and open about eight inches down
the sides, the band being made in two

A little strip of serge forms the short

trimmed with black woolen braid, and

Jeffries") has just been presented by
Lord Lovelace with a kistyaen, or an
cient British grave, discovered with its
skeleton inmate upon Culbone Hill, EX-
moor, on the breezy coach route between
Minehead and Lynmouth. The kist-
yaen, a stone-built chamber about four
feet below the surface. measured 3
feet inches by 90 inches by Is inches {;
and the early Briton had to be ingenious
ly packed. A coarse ebay cup was found
near the skull, which was so well pre-
served after all these centuries that
some Americans using the coach are
said to have made fabulous offers" fol

Companion of the Dog Star.

Sirius, the dog-star, which is the
brightest to our eyes of all the fixed
stars, has very remarkable companion,
never visible except with powerful tele-
scopes. 1t was first seen in 1862, and in
1890 it disappeared, the reason of it's
disappearance being that it had moved
so close to Sirius as to be lost to view in
the overpowering light of that great
star. During the time of its visibility
the fact had been aScertained that il was
revolving about Sirius at rate which
would carry it completely around in
some so years. The shape of its orbit
which is an ellipse with Sirius situated
in one of the foci, being calculated, as
tronomers felt certain that in few
years the vanished star would reappeaI
as it moved into part of its orbit more
distant from Sirius. This expectation
has now been fulfilled, for recently the
missing star was seen again at the
Flagstaff observatory in Arizona. Al
though it is probably half as large a.
Sirius, it is but tone-ten-thousandth par
as luminous as that star.-Youth'sC Com

Opposed to Youthful Marriages

The editor Of the Uuion. Of ST. Charles,
Mimi. is bitterly opposed to youthful
marriages aud is As sarcastic as he is bitter
His comparisons in an editorial are so ex.
tremely fAcetiOus. We give space to the arti-
Gle that our readers may enjoy laugh.
Mine tenths Of the unhappy marriages
are the result of green human calves being
allowed to run at large in the society pas
lures without any yoke on them. They
marry and have children before they do
mustaches, they are fathers Of twins before
they are proprietors of two pairs of pants,
and the little girls they marry are old
women before they are twenty years old.
Occasionally one of these gosling marriages
turns out all right, but is clean case of luck.
If there was a law against young gAloots
sparkling and marrying before they cut all
their teeth, We suppose the little cusses
would evade it some way. but there ought
to be a sentiment against it. 1t is time
enough for these bantams to think of finding
pullet when they have raised money
enough to buy bundle of lathes to build a
hen house. But they see girl who looks
cunning, and they are afraid there is not
going to be girls enough to go around, and
they begin to get in their work real spry,
and before they are aware of the sanctity OF
marriage relation they are hitched for life,
aud before they own a cookstove or a bed
stead they have to got up in the night and
go after doctor so frightened that they run
themselves out of breth and abuse the doctor
because he will not run too, and when the
doctor arrives, there is not enough linen in
the house to wrap up doll baby.
