times called by foreigners the Festival
OF Peach Flowers" but the Japanese
name is the "Hina matsuri" (hee-nah
mat-soo-ree). The shops display for
many days previous a fine assortment
OF toys suited to the occasion. The
mother adorns the chief room OF the
house with peach blossoms, which are
in bloom at this season; the father
buys toys for his little daughters. II
the little girls are old enough. they
prepare eatables themselves for the
dolls, and give a feast in the evening
to which the family friends are invit-
ed. Another festival in which little
girls take part is that of the Lanterns.
They go together in a procession
through the streets in the evening,
swinging beautiful paper lanterns and
singing as they go. Other people also
form professions, and as the soft-tint-
ed lights sway hither and thitler, some
showing beautiful transparenciee. of
fanciful shapes, the whole makes a fai-
ry-like scene. This is a wishing ev-
ening," and whoever sees the meeting
of two stars at a certain point near the

ARE oAyER.
Than Ever Before, and startling in Their
Briuiatcy:

New York Sun: Carriers are gayer
than ever before: No woman dreams
of wearing plain elastic bands to keep
up her Stockings nowadays. Indeed,
garters are now made so many colored
that the rival the fashionable hosiery
itself when it comes to startling brill
liancy. A garter car come about as
near marring or making a woman's
happiness as any trifiing accessory to
her toilet, Women generally, long
ago. gave up the elastic band which
held the stocking up below or o the
knee. Health culturists first old them
that it was injurious, preventing per-
feet circulation, but the sex chung to
it with it's bejeweled buckles and beau
tiful rows Of ribbon. Then the cul-
turists told them that the round gar
ter would spoil the shape of h leg,
and they dropped it like a hot cake
and adopted the suspender garter or
stocking supporter, as it is oftened
called. The newest supporters are
made of very broad and fancy silk elias
tic in brilliant Scotch plaids or Roman
stripes, or else plain elastic covered
with ribbons that would shame JOS
eph's coat, put on full. The catches
and side buckles are Of white metal,
silver, silver gilded and pure gold, and
some Of them are Sudden with pre-
cious and semi precious gems. One
style fastens around the waist of the
wearer by means of a satin belt match
ing in color the predominating color
of the elastic; the other fastens at the
side of the corset with catch pins. Both
methods are unsatisfactory. The waist
band is warm in summer, and de-
stroys the lines about the waist. 1t
is. indeed, impossible for a m in
clined to be stout. The other, If of
such a length as to keep the stocking
up properly, pulls on the corset and
gives the wearer a most uncomfort-
able, tired feeling toward the end of
the day. All of these drawbacks have
a tendency to make a woman conclude
that after all her great grandmother
was right In declaring that the most
satisfactory garter in the world was
a string tori from a selvedge edge oil
a piece of flannel and wrapped just
loose enough for comfort and tight
enough for convenience about the
stocking above or below the knee. A
woman who will invent a really artis.
tic and. at the same time, comfortable
stocking supporter will strike a Klon'
dixie.

E OF THE FIGHT OVER THE CUTTING OF TIL E CABLES, MAY II.

between the warships and reveral
thousand Spanish troops, which lined
the shore and lay concealed behind i'm
provised breastworks.
Soon after the arrival of the war;
ships off Cienfuegos four boats were
launched and proceeded in shore for
the purpose of graphing for the cable
In order to cut it. The warships lay
to about 1000 yards or more off the
harbor.
1t was observed that the Spanish
troops had assembled ashore, but IT
was not known that heavy guns had
been placed in a masked battery and
that the old lighthouse, far out on a
neck of land, had been transformed
into a formidable fort.
The small boats proceeded cautiously
and for more than an hour worked I'M
molested on the cable. Suddenly, lust
as the work was about completed, the
shore battery fired a shell at the boats.
1t was followed by others, and the
Spanish infantry opened fire then with
their rifles. Then, like a flash. the
Marblehead sent a shell inland. and
followed it with a perfect shower of
shot. The Nashville was quick to fol-
low suit, and the little Window cut
loose with her four-pOunders.
In the meanwhile Spanish bullets
fell in every direction around the
small boats. Though the attack had
come suddenly and ~fiercely the blue
jackets were not dismayed, and, pro-
tected BY the terrific return fire of the
%warships, work was continued and the
cable cut.
The Spaniards had by this time sut-
fered severe loss. Their shots from
the lighthouse struck the warships sew
eral times, and, although they did not
do much damage, the fire aroused the
determination of the American officers
to exterminate the fort. Thereafter,
for the moment, the fire of the war
ships was concentrated upon the light
house and the ~improvised fort was
blown to pieces. AS there were great
numbers of Spaniards in and behind
the fort at the time there is no doubt
! that many of them We're killed. The
