II don't look much like a living skeleton

her, for she certainly looked anything but a
living skeleton, but rather bore the appear

said:

that I would die, and there seemed no help

gunboat Cometa has been captured and
burned by the insurgents. The Com
eta, which was one of the most power
ful of the smaller Spanish vessels in
Cuban waters, has been cruising near
C%arlensa TO prevent the landing Of fill
clustering expeditions. For some tIlan
the boat has been accustomed to anchor
at night of Sierra Morena. The place
where the gunbOat anchored was favor.
able for an attack from shore. The
insurgents opened on the vessel with
IA twclve-pound HotchkisS gun. The
vessel was struck several times,
and badly damaged by shells
from the HotchkisS gun, and while the
crew Was III confusion, boats loaded
with insurgents left the shore and the
Cometa was boarded. A desperate
hand.to-han fight took place OH the
deck Of the gunboat. The Spanish com.
mander and half his men having been
killed, the survivors surrendered. The
insurgents sent the prisoners ashore
II then looted the vessel, securing a
great quantity of ammunition, many
cutlasses and pistols, and a few rifles.
Two quick-iring cannon were also re.
moved. The insurgents then fired the
boat, which was o burned 70 the

Another Spanish Gunboat De,
stroyed After Being Looted
of War Materials.

New YORK. Jan 25.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Havana says: Gem
eral Weyler has received his baptism of
fire in the field. He may even have
been astounded by the brllliancy of the
flash of the insurgent steel before his
very eyes.
At all events, Is Of his special escOrt
of guides, a corps of Cuban negroes
who enjoy the distinction of guarding
the person of the captain general when
he takes the field, have arrived here
seriously wounded with machete
thrusts. Several have since died.
From their accounts it is clear that
ear'y on Tuesday morning the rebels
Of Aranguron and Arrange made a
etartlingly bold and dashing attempt to
capture the captain general, which
Was Nearly Crowned with Success.
General Weyler, who was marching
surrounded by tho column of Segura,
entered the village of Qustro. Camiros
ON Monday afternoon. Orders were
at once given that all the inhabitants
should leave their homes within two
hours. The village being deserted, the
torch was applied, and all the houses,
about 300 in number, were destroyed.
The captain general then proceeded
towards Gopaste, Is kilometres further
on the road to Guines. Gopaste was
reached after nightfall, and a corps Of
guides was sent forward to reconnoitre.
General Weyler with the main Spanish
column, halted some distance outside
the village. The insurgents, at the or
ders of their leaders, Aranguron and
Arrange. had concealed themselves i'll
the houses of the town. Their plans
were evidently we'll laid, and it is quite
probable that they might have succeed.
ed i'll capturing the desired prize, the
Spanish commander himself. And i'll
any event from their cover they could
have inflicted great loss upon tho
Spanish column as it entered the town
u~nprepared Nor an ambush, conceived
III SO bold a manner.
An Accident Spoiled 1t.
Unfortunately for the fulflment of
the design of the insurgent leaders.
while the Spanish scouts were engaged
Ill the reconnaissance, the guns of some,
of the concealed rebels were accidentally
discharged, giving the alarm to the
royal troops. Before the Spanish adj
vNnce guard recovered from its sur
prise. the rebels, seeing that their plans
had partially failed, rushed from their
places Of concealment, and attacked
the enemy with great fury. infiicting
severe loss i'll their resistless onslaught.
So bold, i'll fact. was the insurgent col.
umn, that it pursued the rapidly re.
treating Spaniards to a point almost
within range of the troops in General
Weyler's main body, and easily within
the compass of a field glass, if the cap
lain general had cared to inspect the
dispersal of his own soldiers.
Captain General Weyler spent We'd
nesday night in Guines and, according
to official reports received here. ex-
pectcd to enter Matanzas Friday.

A good plan in caring for bottle baby
Is to give it, three or four tinesa week, two
tablcspooniuls Of oatmeal cruel in It's milk
and occasionally Il little lime water. The
former will prevent constipation, the lat
ter sweetens the stomach. The oatmeal
should be cooked in water until creamy
(about two tabespoonfuls oatmeal and one
pint of water, with one-quarter teaspoon
full salt; boil slowly in a double boiler one
hour, then rub it through a sieye).
The bottle should be kept scrupulously
clean. 1t is advisable to have two or three
bottles on hand, and as soon as the child
has fed clean the bottle with water, add
ing either n liCtle borax Or salt; then rinse
well and fill it with cold water, letting it
stand till wanted again. The nipple should
be cleaned each time, then put in glass
with cold water until to be used again.
When the child is year old, farina boil
ed in milk, rice, oatmeal and wheat prepa-
rations may be given to it once or twice
daily; also baked apples in small quanti-
ties occasionally. The main food for chill
dren up to 6 years old should be milk,
homemade bread, graham bread cereals,
fruits, light pancakes made of eggs milk
and flour. Eggs should be given sparing-
ly and meat not at all.-Exchange.

A SERIOUS SUBJECT
That Will Well Repay Our Citizens
to Carefully Consider.

Kidneys can't talk, but if you don't
treat them rightly you will hear from
them.
They have language of their.own, this
is how they tell you: FIJI EEz
When you work too hard, what fol-
lows? You are tired, aren't you?
It's just the same with the kidneys,
they get tired, they have so mach to do.
You stoop over at some occupation.
You strain yourself lifting.
You walk too far, or ride too far.
You call this over-exertion. You CAN
not sleep when night comes.
Your Lack aches. Your head aches,
often you ache all over.
On, you say, it's because I'm tired.
Now, this isn't right, it's because your
kidneys are tired.
They can only do just so much, and the
lifting, STOPPING, straiuing or eXerting
has retarded their action.
The heart has pushed the blood into
them faster than they can filter 1t.
The filter is overtaXed and becomes
clogged.
They cry for assistance in many aches
that follow.
Nothing starts the kidneys working
quicker than Doan's Kidney Pills.
1t is useless TO take them for any disor
ders of the stomach or arrangement of
the liver.
Indirectly they will help such troubles
ny throwing OH some OF the eHete or
waste matter OF the body through the
Kidneys, but they won't cure liver COM
plant any more than they will cure CON
SUMPTION
They are non purgative, easy to take,
convenient to carry; they produce no re-
action; and can e given to the weakest
child.

A Peacock Mantel.

"Cover the mantel board with peacock
blue velours, " writes John Sparrowhawk
in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Take pea
cock feathers of equal length and sufficient
in number to go around the edge of the
board, placing the reed or quill part of the
feathers about one inch apart. Tack them
on to the board with straw mating sta
pies, and afterward cover with a jeweled
gimp. The feathers may be secured at the
center and ends by weaving through them
some strands of silk of peacock blue color. :"
