Then we all howled, and Molly
spoke: my experience is that very
thin black net with tiny little dots
rather close together is the most be-
coming at all times, but the proper
thing to do just now is to wear two
wells, one a thickly dotted black one,
the net being very fine, and this must
be drawn close up over your hat with
the ends turned under and pinned with
a fancy clasp. Then there must be
white chiffon dotted with white silk,
and this must be hung around your
hat as if it were a window drapery, the
ends being straight and loose at the
back and the whole thing Tipping end

Notes on the Splendid Sport.
At Pear, Lochs.

Honolulu Is soon to have a string OF
yachts of the same size, build and rig
cling. There will be not less than
twelve and probably as many as fifteen
in the fleet. The boats will be second
class, 16 or IS feet in length, and may
be handled by one man IL necessary.
A citizen Is now on the coast looking
after the matter of their construction.
Henry Waterhuse, A. b. Wood, T. w.
Hobron, A. w. Pearson, G. B. Gray and
seven other yachtsmen are in the hui
and take boat each. The idea comes
from New York. Everything Is GEN.
tered in the one point of having the
yachts precisely alike. In no other
way, members of the hui point out, can
yacht racing here be placed on a fair
and interesting basis. At present 1t Is
a case of the best boat skill goes for
nothing.
In view of joining the "One Design
Yacht" hui Charles Gray has sold the
Combination to A. Johansen, janitor OF
the Healani boat house.
C. Johnson is negotiating with DR.

the sale OF the Rescue to them.

A DREAD DISEASE
A Layman Who Studied
Up the Measles.
extracts From Opinions BY Emil

to Be Avoided.

Self love. my lieee. is not 80 vile a sin
AS self negiecting. "-Shakespeare.
Sir:-The young are a part Of us,
hence the quotation. The measles be-
ing abroad in our midst ask space for
the utterance OF a few words of eau
ton to those whom it may concern.
Especially does 1t appear important to
have attention called to the subject
now, for in a few days our schools will
be opened again. The disease is too
often looked upon as harmless, one
that must be taken. and that the
sooner 1t is over and done with, the
better. This view, to some extent,
prevails in our midst, SO let me- quote
from paper read before the Stats
teal Society, Eng, by DIR. Longstaff.
NJ. b., NJ. II. c. p, etc. He says
measles causes nearly nve times as
many deaths as small pox, while the
amount of mischief to be attributed

eral health, permanent lung disease
and even blindness and deafness, viii
probably never be known"
DR.. August Allivier, physician Of the
Hospital des Enfants Malades, at Paris,
speaking of measles says: In devils
ing prophylactic measures, therefore,
while protection should, OF course, be
extended to all, 1t should be directed
with special solicitude to young child
rem against one of the diseases which
proves most fatal to them"
Chandler, on the prevention OF
Measles" says: "The reasons why
young children should not be allowed
to take the disease are unanswerable
and all sufiicient-for the educated"
Speaking of the vulgar error that sc
many hold that all must, ex necessi.
tate, once have measles, the writer
says: "A traditional and ingrained
belief like this is not to be demolished
by considerations, however rational
and forcible, that do not touch the
fundamental ground on which the de-
fusion Is based. 1t VIII be crushed
out only by substantial, tangible. Wis
ible proof of the error-proof they are
not likely to get SO long as measles
rage with increased severity"
The same author says: las the
disease is regarded as the fate, sooner
or later, of every one, 1t is held to b'
u fortunate thing to take IL wher
young-if only 1t Is not fatal. or does
not leave very serious ailments be
hind For this reason many parents
are not solicitors about keeping theil
children out of the way OF infection
10 Other parents are moved &c

ing confidently on ancient precepts

to ensure their catching the com
plant. Certainly It Is some

tude or recklessness. To modern minds
there Is something uncanny in the no
| ton OF setting to work in cold blood
to deliver a child over to possible
death or lingering disease. II

and dangerous procedure"

pound charges of guncotton were sent
over the Notifications at the entrance
The design was to drop them IN the
bay around the angle back of the emf
nence on which Ell Moro is situated,
where it was known that the destroyers
were lying.
The charges went true, as no reports
were heard--a popularity Of the explo-
sion Of guncotton in water. Whether
the destroyers We're demolished is not
known, but the destructive area Of gun
cotton Is large, and it would not be
surprising il one or both torpedo-boats
were destroyed.
The third charge exploded with ter
rife force on Cayo Smith. From
where the fleet lay, the entrance to the

a door opening into the fire OF titanic

Tricks of Guerilla Warfare.

Guantanamo, via Kingston, June 10,
However unpleasant the experience,
the landing OF small detachment OF
marines, mostly raw men, in the enc
my's country, has taught some lessons
to the officers and men here, and posi-
bly, also to the authorities at Washing
ton. l. has shown the Spaniards to be
daring bush fighters, and 1t has proved
that every American camp must be
compactly built and as we'll protected
to resist night attacks as though in the
Apache country. 1t has developed sew
eral small defects in the navy guns
under service conditions, and i. has
shown that given free rein with re-
peating rifles 800 nervous troops can
waste 10000 rounds Of ammunition,
killing shadows, in a single night, and
not think even then they have done
much shooting.
Though the l6 Spaniards found by
Lieutenant Neville's men wore regular
uniforms, most OF those men in the
daylight attacks wore scarcely anything
except big plantain leaves bound around
their foreheals in lieu of hats This
acted rs an effective disguise in the
bush. Others, stripped to pair Of
dirt-colored trousers, tied branches
around their waists, reaching shoulder
high, and moving very cautiously, they
could even cross open ground without
being detected, though some Of them
were caught at the game.
Another trick was to make moving
screen OF two or three big palm leaves,
almost impossible to detect where
stunted palm everywhere rises out OF
the chapparal
The Cubans were most useful in
pointing out these tricks. There are
60 of these men now in camp, mostly
negroes, with Cuban officers. They
are hawkeyed woolsmen, breaking
even with the Spaniards in every de-
vice of buehcraft, The American ma
rines at first were inclined to discount
this, bat this morning they spoke en-
Enthusiastically of their auxiliarles for
their daring. At night, in skirmsh
time, the marines say the Cuban aux
ilaries 20 through the bush like rab-
bits Their chief fault, however, is
their reckless handling of the new
magazine rifles.

Dor The fleet euvelOpel in smoke,
pelted the hills and kicked up dirt and
masonry.
1t was a magnificent spectacle.
Though tie gun captains mad been cau-
tloued not to waste ammunition, but
to fire with deliheration, the fire was
SO rapid that there was an almost CON
tlnuous report. The measured crash
OF the big l3-inch guns Of the battle
ships sounded above the rattle of the
guns of the secondary batteries like
thunder claps above the din OF hurri-
cane.
A strong land breeze off the shore
carried the smoke of the ships seward,
while it let down thick curtain in
front of the Spanish gunners. Their
guns responded spiritcdly at first, hut
their frenziod, half-crazed fire could not
match the cool nerve. trained eyes and
skilled gunnery of the Americans. Our
fire was much more effective than in
preceding hombardments.
