Tho Battle Of Redonds,

Not far from st. Thomas, a matter Of
perhaps 100 miles, was fought the most
wonderful naval battle in all history.
The Dutch admiral detected the enemy
in the early morning, when the sea was
covered with q thick mist, and his guns
opened fire at once without warming
Tho fire was returned with interest, the
ocean fairly quivering with spasms
caused by the shock Of frequent dis
charges. Somehow or other the enemy
shots, which sounded like q lombard
ment, seemed to fall short or 90 wide
Of the mark, for not even q splash Of O
ball was heard, and the Dutch ships re-
manned unscathed. On the other hand,
the Dutch could not see the terrible ex-
ecution their guns were doing until
nearly the middle of the forenoon, when
the fog lifted, revealing to their aston
ished gaze not the vessels Of the enemy,
but q great rock standing out of the sea.
They had been firing at it for five hours,
and the sound of the return shots they
heard was the echo from the solid wall
Of granite. They named the place Re-
donda, which means sent, rolled or
driven back, and Redonda it is to this
day.-New York Press.

Modern Medicines.

The great improvement in the present
az compared with the past methods Of
administering medicines deserves pass
ing comment. Scarcely a generation ago
the threat Of q dose of the nauseous
drugs Of the day was sufficient to sup
press the worst of evil propensities in
the most wicked boy. When actually in
need Of medication, he was held in the
chair and gagged to exhaustion in the
parental anxiety to measure the capacity
Of his unwilling stomach with the bulky
contents Of the justly hated bottle. Ere
quently the struggle had more to do with
the perspiration than the medicine.
Very often, for obvious reasons, the bot
tie broke before the fever. Castor oil
was punishment, rhubarb was a terror
and SIENNA an abomination.
The nauseous mixtures of our grand
parents are now replaced by the elegant
and almost tasty compounds of modern
pharmacy. The essentials of the former
medicines are now given in the forms Of
condensed extracts and alkaloids, in pro-
portionately reduced bulk and in consist
emily concentrated form. Single rene.
dies with special indications take the
place of the old fashioned shotgun mix
lures. Tablets, pellets and pills no
longer offend the palate, and even quiz
nine, the bitterest enemy of taste, now
sues for favor in sugar coated armor.
The irritable stomach which denies the
usual approach to the internal economy
is now automatically checkmated by
an injection under the skin. which, al
though a longer way round, is surer
way home. DIR. George F. Shrady in
Forum.

Four BRIGHT Men.

Hero is a funny and true story:
Four Chicago newspaper men were in

craft in New York. At first each man

could make up quartet party for trav-
cling the aspect Of affairs was changed.
They decided that as they would have
jolly journey they would all 60. Ibe-
ieve they planned to play whist or some

most artistic taste, was done.
The bay windows were banked and
garlanded with growing plants and fes-

the rooms were draped beautiful tapes

folds were filed with roses. From the
center of the walls of the main rooms

asparagus vines radiated to the ceilings
The candelbra supported pouches Of
white silk filled with bridal roses. The
