FIRST PHASE

The life of the women of the upper
classes is very narrow one, and the
average girl has little else than mar
risge to look forward to. 1t behooves
her to make an early marriage, too,
while the charms of youth abide,
for she will likely begin
to fade at thirty. Handsome matrons
are infrequent, as in all tropic lands.
Her mother teaches her very little
else than in the way OF personal accom-
plishments, and the natural result is
the average girl knows great deal
more regarding complexion powder
than she does of baking powder; and
her lack OF other useful knowledge is
in much the same proportion
The young men play the bear in
their love markings, as they do in all
Spanish countries. and one WILLIS often
see lovetaken youth standing in the
public street for weary hours before
the house of his chosen one, patiently
awaiting the time when the parental
consent shall open the door to him"

GROWING Young Again.

A case that is puzzling the local sur
geons and physicians is that OF Mrs
Lydia Ann Parson of Mill street Nor
risville, who is suddenly growing
younger after passing her 9th birth
day. For years she was deaf, and it
has been a long time siuce she was
able to see without glasses. During
the past week her hearing has been
perfectly restored and the glasses have
been cast aside. Her hair, which was
almost white, is gradually growing
black, and the change has come about
80 suddenly that the old woman is be-
coming q curiosity both to the neigh
bors in Morrisville and the people of
Trenton.
A number of well-known physicians
made visit to the Parsons homestead
this afternoon, and upon their return
pronounced the case the most wonder
full on record. No one has been able so
far to give any satisfactory reason for
the changes. The woman has never
had a days illness in her life. She
was 81 years old on July 23.-Philadel-
phia Times.

1T was directly under the guns of a
fort and within easy range that I took
the Restormel with 2,400 tons of coal

This coal was evidently intended for
the Spanish fleet, and the attempt of the

to draw their fire.
The narrowness of the harbor en-

made ten knots, allowed OF the Cristo-
bal Colon being target for only few
minutes. In lat time it is belived she
was hit twice but not seriously dam

The entire set OF forts, some six in
number, opened fire and the object OF

Some of the modern guns, with
smokeless powder. were aimed we'll, but
of all the shots fired not enc did any
damage to Commodore Schley's ships.
The Cristobal Colon replied to the
fire, but all of her shots fell short.
The American ships fired not more
than four rounds from tt@ir heavy
guns. consuming in all fifteen minutes
for the fire. The Spanards fired more
than 100 rounds, keeping up the fire
when the ships were fully two miles
out of their range.
During the action Commander Schley
occupied a position near the forward
19-inch turret of the Massachusetts and
watched the shells go whistling by as
the ships got in the line OF fire of the
batteries as unconcernedly as though
in no danger Of it.
At $3.50 o'clock the commodore was
back ON the Brooklyn.
It is evident fiat the Spaniards have
fortified Santiago very carefully and
well, There are a number of modern
guns there, evidently of English or
French make, and they use smokeless
powder. which makes it difficult to To-
cate them. 1t will take a heavy bonn
bardment to dislodge the batteries and
the Spanish feet.

New York, June 3.-The United
States auxiliary cruiser st. Paul, Capt.
Sigsbee commanding, came into port
early to-day. Capt Sigsbee went
ashore and thence proceeded to the
navy yard. Capt. Sigsbee refused to
be interviewed regarding the recent
service Of his ship in the vicinity of
Santiago de Cuba, at which port, it
has been said, Capt. Sigsbee ran the
St. Paul well into the mouth Of the
harbor and obtained the first definite
information G. the presence there Of
the Spanish Admiral Cervera's fleet.
After visiting Commodore Bunce at
the navy yard, Capt Sigsbee relaxed
from his reserve sufficiently to say TO
a reporter:

tiago, on May %, and while none OF

they did not get it.

nothing but the wolf, and in the cir

creatures, and by rude process of Sc

oped the "huskie." colloquial abbre-
Walton of the word Eskimo. These
animals represent type Of dog but
little removed from the wolf hardy,
vicious, swift of foot, and keen Of eye.
They have been trained to haul sledge
