THE FOUND IS lost AGAIN
MARIA TERESA WENT DOWN
The Rescued Spanish Cruiser Was
Caught in q Fierce Gale on San
Salvador, While Being TOwed
North, and Sank in Water Nearly
Three Miles Deep-No Lives Lost.

Charleston, s. c., Nov. 1.-THE tug
Merritt put into Charleston yesterday
morning. She reported the loss of the
cruiser Maria Teresa off San Salvador,
Bahamas, November 8, in the midst of a
furious storm.
The cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on the
morning of October 30 in tow for New
York. She had already passed Cape
Aaysi and started northeast around the
Bahamas. A furious storm overlook her
and in her condition she was unable to
weather the gale. The strain opened the
rents in her hull, which had been patched
to enable her to make the journey, and
she began to fill rapidly.
The Merritt took off Captain Harris
and the crew from the sinking ship, and
she soon went down. The Merritt brought
the captain and 1856 men, who will pro-
coed north by rail. No lives were lost
as far as is known.
Regret of Navy Department..
WASHINGTON, Nov. THE greatest
regret was expressed in official circles re-
garding the loss OF the Maria Teresa.

Acting Secretary OF the Navy Allen
said the loss was much greater than any
intrinsic value represented In the snip
She was the INK that connected the
great naval victory with the United
States. 1t was sentiment bred IN TINS
country that succeeded IN raising her and
1T was the Wish OF tine whole people that
she should be brought to the United

HIS NAME IS LEGION.
The Farmer Who Neglects to Keep
the Walk from House to Barn
in Good Condition.

Some farmers need a little good
roads" agitation right at home. When
a days rain makes the walk from house
to barn or other buildings which must
be visited every day so deep in mud that
they are unfit to travel without rubber
boots or stout cowhides. the farmer
needs to be made to stay in the house
the next day and scrub up the muddy
floors with mop and scrubbing brush.
Possibly they would think two such
jobs required more hard work than
would be required to make good walks
of small stones about a foot deep, and
covered with another foot of gravel,
that never would be muddy.
And then there are roads through the
field where the team can only draw out
about half a load of manure, or DRAWN
more than a half load of hay or veg
etables. because of some mudhole or
rock, or other bad place in it which
might be fixed with a few hours labor,
but is neglected because it is not seen
every day. and then al times when the
men and teams are too busy TO fix il up.
We once heard an old farmer say that
he thought the Almighty made small
stones and gravel on purpose 10 make
roads of, which might have been his way
of expressing the idea that material
seemingly worthless could be put TO
good use.-American C~ultivator.

In one Of the main streets Of Shelbyville,

young lady is one Of the charming misses of

Cora, until two years ago last March, was as

She was attending school and was studying

noticed that the healthy color in her cheek was
rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sallow. Dark, swollen circles be-
gan 10 appear under hes eyes, and she rapidly

Indiana, at the time, and Cora would have

her health kept failing. Her blood was color

was almost continually in pain. Nothing
which we did for her seemed to do any good.
Different physicians treated and pre-
scribed for her, but she kept getting worse.
She had formerly weighed 100 pounds, but
during her illness her weight had dwindled

LIFE IN THE COUNTRY.
Free Rural Mail Delivery would
Add to Its Comforts.

Residents of the country desire to
see the rural districts placed in every
practicable way on an equality with the
city. and city jewellers are gradually
learning that the whole land would be
materially benefited in many ways if
this end were attained. The improve
ment of highways by state aid is a long
step in the right direction, and makes
possible the introduction Of other fea-
lures calculated to ameliorate condi-
tions and bring the back country dis
tricts into closer touch with the world.
Easy means of communication, more
rapid transit, the electric car every
where crossing the land, free rural pos
tai delivery, and some plan for naming
roads and numbering houses so that
the farm house may be as readily To-
Gated as the city house, are among the
improvements that the rear future
ought to bring.
A plan for the last-named purpose is
being pressed by the California Cultiva-
tor. All roads, beginning at the county
seat or end nearest, are divided into sec
tions OF one mile each. and each mile
into ten blocks, with an odd number for
n side and an even one for the other.
The houses on each block are desig-
mated by the block number, with a dis
tinguishing letter following it. This
locates every house and tells how far it
is from the beginning of the road. To
find block 436, divide by we (as blocks
1 and 2 are opposite each other),
getting 21s, and then divide by ten (as
there are ten blocks to the mile), and it
will be plain that block 436 is 21.s miles
from the beginning of the road. The
adoption of this plan, the Cultivator
thinks. would pave the way for a speedy
enforcement Of a rural free delivery of
mails.-L. A. w. Bulletin.

fit received through DR.. Williams Pink
