COLOR OF THE EYES.

1t is not generally known that
the eyes of infants are always blue,
and that they do not begin to as
sumo their permanent color until
the sixth or eighth week. There
is, therefor, truth as we'll as poetry
in the statement that babies look
about them in "blue-eyed wonder"
The wonder may be left to poets
and philosophers, but the blue is
always practical fact. 1t is not
uncommon to see different colors
in the eyes Of the same person, and
even in the same eye half of the iris
is sometimes brown and the other
half blue. There is popular
notion that that dark eyes are
stronger than light ones There
is no truth in this except so far S
they are better protected against
excessive light. Hence light eyes
prevail among northern nations
and dark eyes among the races who
live in the glare of tropical sun.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances that any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity pre-
sents itself he is ready to take ad-
vantage of it. A little forethought
will also save much expense and val
liable time. A prudent and careful
man will keep bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy in the house, the shiftless
fellow will wait until necessity COM
pels it and then ruin his best horse

doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays

dollars, and then wonders why his
neighbor is getting richer while he
is getting poorer. For sale by Ben

MANILA IN CLOSE SIEGE
DRIVE BACK THE
SPANIARDS.
Hospitals and Churches Crowded with
Wounded-Two More Towns Fall
Before Troops of Aguinaldo.

LONDON June 15.-The Shang-
hal correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, forwarding advices he
has received from Manila up to
June Sth, says: On June 5th the
insurgents forced the passage of
Zapote river and captured Las Pr
mas and Paranaki. Since then, up
to the time my advices left Manila,
the fighting has been continuous,
and the Spaniards were being
gradually driven in.
The fall of the city seems immi-
nent before the arrival of the
American forces. Manila is abso,
lutely incapable of resisting bonn
bardment. The defenders Of the
city have suffered severely from the
incessant attacks, from want of
food and rest, and the hospitals and
churches are crowded with the
wounded.
VIENNA, June "A The Neue
Freie Pressc says that Spain has re-
quested the powers to urge the
United States to occupy Manila
should the town surrender, and not
allow the insurgents to do so.

SACRIFICE.

Every life has in it the ingredi-
ent that carries the flavor of the
tried disciplines of the aged Abra-
ham. There is no cup that has not
its dregs; no life that has not its
passages that remind us of the sad
Patriarch's journey to Mount Nor
iah, and even of the little altar up
on which the darling of ones heart
has to be laid. The journey toward
the place of offering may not be al
ways so agonizing, nor the sacri-
flee that is laid upon the wood al
ways so uuspeakably precious, but
there is not one of us that has not
heard, that does not hear the voice
of the Lord calling out to us with
something of the distinc ness with
which it addressed Abraham, re
curing us, too, 10 carry bur ;ens
that make our shoulders tired, and
to surrender treasured hopes that
make our hearts ache. In other
words there is enough of steep
highway-made out Of difficulties
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES each OF
us have to climb, to give us all the
TO share with Abra-
ham the blessing that crowned his
tender surrender, and TO rise along
a pathway of hard but gentle obedi-
ence into a profounber knowledge
of God and richer experience of
His power and grace. H. Park

FRANCES LATEST DEATH TOOL
Proves Its Ability tn Destroy Whole
Regiment or Battery In One
Minute.

Information by cable is that the
Frenchmen believe that In the new
rapid-fre field gun of their army they
possess the most deadly and efficient
weapon ever invented. 1t is of 2.o5
inches caliber, and discharges 20 shells
q minute. Each shell can be loaded
with $50 bullets. Many practical ex-
periments have been made with the
gun at Ckalons. 1t proved its ability
to destroy a regiment or battery In
one minute.
The barrel of the new gun is OF
nickel steel. The breechlock is con-
structed on the interrupted screw
principle, but greatly modified from
the old form. 1t can be closed quickly
with one motion. The closing Of the
breech cocks a hammer. The gunner
at the same time holds the lanyard
aims, and fires.
The gun with It's carriage weighs
5000 pounds, which is distributed al
the rate Of 600 pounds TO a horse. This
makes it easily movable.
One of the most valuable features of
the gun is that the recoil is prac tically
abolished. This is what makes ii pos
sible TO load and fire so rapidly. The
appliance for avoiding recoil includes
a cylinder filed with glycerin. Ar
iron rod driven into the ground helps
10 hold the gun firmly.

FOR TRAINING SHIPS.
Suggested That Stock of Live Oak
Be Used to Build Them
Naval Constructor Tawreney's Idea
Old Sailing Men-Of-War Used
for the Purpose Fast
DeteriOrating.

The naval authorities have under
consideration a proposition by Naval
Constructor Tawreney TO construct
wooden vessels to take the place of
those that have been doing service for
many years as training and receiving
ships. These old sailing men-of-war
have become obsolete for war purposes,
and are rapidly dcteriorating. Some of
them cannot last much longer. Taw-
reney has suggested that new vessels
would be much more comfortable and
could be fitted in modern style.
1t has been the practice Of the navy
department 10 use fighting vessels for
years after they have become useless
for the purpose for which they were
first designed. The first step in the
process that leads 10 not using them at
all is their utilization as training ships.
Then they become receiving ships, and
later are occasionally turned over to
various states for use as school ships.
is Is considered desirable for naval
cadets and apprentices TO have some
experience on sailing vessels.
Mr.. Tawreney is stationed at the
navy yard a. Portsmouth. n. III. There
is a great quantity of timber there be-
longing to the government that he be-
lieves can be profitably used In con-
structing new vessels of the kind men
toned Before the civil war when the
government built its own war vessels,
enormous quantities Of live oak were
brought 10 Portsmouth, and much oft
was not used. Mr.. Tawreney has told
the navy department that there is
enough Of this live oak to construct the
hulls of three vessels.

COMPLAIN OF LIGHTHOUSE.
Citizens of Highland and Seabright, ~
j., Kept Awake by Most
Powerful Flashlight.

Quite curious complaint has been
received by the government from the
citizens Of Highland and Seabright, y.
j.. about a new lighthouse which has
been built in New York harbor, and
which prevents the people Of these two
suburban towns from sleeping. This
light is the most powerful one Of its
kind in the country, the lens being
six feet in diameter. 1t is the first
light seen by incoming steamers after
passing Fire island. The light revolves
and shows fash every five seconds,
and it is claimed by the complaining
citizens that these sudden flashes pre-
vent them sleeping as they flood their
sleeping apartments. There was no
objection TO the old light, which was
a steady beacon, but the new one is a
great disturber Of sleep. These people
will have 10 put up with the incon-
venience, as there is no remedy, the
screen erected by the treasury de-
partment failing TO shield them.

MEDALS FOR SOLDIERS.
malIy Decides to Honor the

Ten thousand medallions for the sol

from Chicago were determined upon
by the general committee in charge
of the peace jubilee at Chicago
James w. Nye was appointed com
mittee to select the design and pur-
chase the medals. 1t Is probable that
the war veterans will receive these
decorations either just prior to or just
after the parade In which they take
part.
1t was decided to make the judges
of the United States circuit and dis
trict courts guests of the jubilee, and
some other invitations were also
agreed upon.
