School Girls Nerves.
From the " Ns,o Era," e%rsonsouro, md

Mothers who have young daughters Of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development Of their body is Of the first inn
portance. After the confinement Of the
school room, plenty Of o~ut-oEdoor exercise
should be taken. It lie better that their
children never learn their n, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is self-evident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them UP when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, If rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes,
the htteen-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur-

fond Of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness She has ex-
perienced. She has missed two years of
school ON account Of her bad health, but now
she will be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.

and her nerves we're at such a tension that
the least little noise would i%rritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There
was a continual twitching in the arms and

AmDushed by a Band ofDwarfs-His
Body Sliced Up and Distributed
Among the Little Fiends.
Washington, Nov. pa startling
and horrible story Of the killing Of two
Neutrality-suspicious. and the mutilation of
their bodies by the natives Of the Congo
Free State, has just been received here
in a letter to Mr.. Leo Harmon, of 1928
Ninth street, northwest. The men were
members Of a party who during Mo-
vember and December, 1894, and jan
nary, 1895, went from his city to en-
list in the Belgian army for service
in the Congo state. Those enlisting in
cluded Edward Thornton, a commits
stoned officer Of the National Fencibles
employed in the war departments Lind
say G. Burke, Frank Bachelor, Harry
r. Andrews, Barry Sparlin and a Mr..
Mellin or Mellen, who vas at one time
a non-commissioned officer in the Uni
ted States army. All except Thornton
and Mellin were members Of the Ma
tional Guard Of the district.
The information received by Mr.. Har-
mon is that Burke and a party of so
natives who were sent out to dislodge
a band Of dwarfs, who had revolted,
were ambushed and killed. An Arab
who was with the command, but who
was some distance off at the time Of
the ambuscade, states that he knows
Burke was dead before the natives
reached him and that the most hideous
looking little man he ever saw walked
up and cut Burke's head off with ont
blow of a knife. The chief then began
to slice pieces off his legs and arms
and distributed them among his fol-
lowers.
There were so many Of the hends that
the pieces were very small, and before
they had concluded there was a free
fight to see who could have the little
remaining. In some manner the dwarfs
became alarmed and left the place, one
following carrying off Burke's arm. The
Arab say the cause of their alarm as
Windeey, a New Yorker, who had COM
mand Of another detachment Of sol
diers sent out on the same errand,
arrived a few hours after the natives
departed. Windeey gathered up the
remains of Burke and buried them.
When Windeey learned the strength of
the rebels he hurried back to Michan
and notified the commandant of the
port.
The other Washingtonian who lost his
life was killed when the troops under
the command of BarCl Dhanis revolted
near Kabambarre and assassinated a
number Of officers of their regiments,
among them being Mellin. The body
Of Mellin was butchered almost beyond
recognition, his heart having beer cut
out and burned so that his courage
could not again be used against the
rebels by the whites, as it is their be-
lief that unless the heart is burned and
the ashes scattered to the four winds
the spirit of the man descends to his
brethren.
Thornton is aid to be in a very
~precarious situation at Basaka, but a
relief expedition has been sent to his
rescue.

with the fever at Nyangiv.
