womau's greatest mission in this world
is to help baby. Teaching baby to eat and
to walk and to talk. A rightly constituted
woman finds in these her happiest employ
ment. Too many women miss this happi-
ness because of their own ignorance or neg
lect. No woman should be ignorant of her
own physical makeup. No woman has the
right TO neglect the health Of those delicate
organs of her body upon which depends the
life and health and happiness of her chill
dren. The Mosaic command to increase
and multiply" was no idle, thoughtless
edict. 1t was the commend of Tehovah.
The woman who anuuls it by neglect of her
womanly health commits a crime

Pierce's Favorlte Prescription. II makes a

washington. January 3.-The Spanish
boriues feel little apprehension from

.-gro the thoroughness with which the
rraan coast is being patroled by the
Smn.sh forces. 1t is pointed out that

depends upon the ability TO deliver

counts for little. Under the system
s..lrshed by General Weyler the
movement Of any considerable insur-
r.rr f5rce toward the coast is noted as

The Insurgents have no pack trains or
ras ordinary means of transporting
military stores. and are obliged to re-
cs.ye and carry goods by hand. In
handling. boxes of guns or any consid-
sabIe quantity of ammunition, a large
rrnber of men is necessary to

rt the Three Friends expedition was
made known to the Spanish command

gent force toward the coast. a battle
epsued and the insurgents were driven
inland. The point at which the Three
Frieuds subsequently tried TO land was
-hat TO which the insurgent Gorce was
headed. AT present IL is said that
This patrol is so complete that no con-
siderable force of insurgents can move
without unmaskinS the destination OF
an expedition. and thus giving ample
time for it's apprehension. This IS but
one means of apprehension, however,
and it does not minish the discOuntlnS

EXTrNT or THE EMBARGO.

=
During the past q hours the waters
on the upper and lower bay have been
enveloped in dense fog with no appar-
ent sign of clearing weather. Not a
vessel has passed in through the Mar
rows since sunrise this morning. Sew
eraI steamers are due to arrive IN port
to-day and no doubt they are waiting
outsid Sandy Hook and Scotland
Liai sepir for the fog to lift, rather
than attempt so hazardous thing as
finding the way into port in such
weather. At Quarantine the weather
has been dark and gloomy and the
fog so dense that objects could not
be seen fifty feet away from the shore.
Navigation has been almost entirely
suspended, being confined to a few
tugs that with much difficulty picked
their way down the bay and managed
to reach the Quarantine safely, where
they were satisfied to tie up at the
wharf and not take the risk Of pro-
ceeding further down the bay as had
been the original intention. The
steamers Orinoco and Sirius which ar
rived and anchored off Quarantine last
evening. still remain fog bound eli that
place, their commanders deemlng it
more prudent to wait till the fog clears.
A COLLISION.
The Wilson line steamer liindoo.
which was in collision with the CTom-
well liner Creole in the lower bay last
evening. returned in the fog and an
chored off Clifton, S. |. Captain Dou-
glass landed at Quarantine al noon.
He reports that the Hindoo is leaking
in the fore-peak Some of her bow
plates are cracked and as the damage
is under water its exact nature cannot
be ascertained until she reaches her
dock. A portion of the cargo in the
fOre-hold will have to be discharged
before the necessary repairs can be
made. The steamers pumps have to
be kept constantly going to have the
fcrepeak free of water. Several stan
chions and beams are also cracked and
will have to be repaired before the
steamer resumes her voyage.
Nothing further has been heard from
the Creole since the collision occurred
last evening. She is probably at ar
chor in the lower bay. Among the fog
bound steamships now due at this
pcrt are the French liner La Norman
die. from Havre, December 26th; the
Anchor liner Olympia from Naples,
December 18th; the Cunarder Aurania
from LiverDooi, December 26th; the
White Star frighter George, from Liv-
erpool. December oath; Buffalo, from
Hull: Mohican. from Swansea; Stella,
from Hamburg, and ST. Irene from
Livernool. December 18th; Megantic,
from London. December 27th; Habana
and Yumuri, from Havana, December
30th.
Not a steam or sailing vessel had
arrived at City Island up to eight
o'clock tonight. At that hour the fog
remained impenetrable, with calm
winds.
The American ship Ruce. 1928 tons.
is supposed to have anchored in the
