A Spanish Version.

The Spanish legation at Washington
gives out the substance OF dispatch
received from Havana, in which the
cause OF the disaster as to the Maine
Is given as an explosion In the dynamo
room. II this Is the correct explanation
1t accounts fully for the fact that the
loss of life Is confined to the crew and
marines. According to the plans of the
battleship the dynamos were located
directly under the forward turret. Be-
tween the turret and the dynamo were
berth decks. Under the dynamo was
the hydraulic pump dome. and below
that again was the magazine, in which
was stored the loaded shells for the 10

Gold in Mexico.

The state department has a report
from Consul Kindrick, at Ciudad Juarez
Mexico, declaring that numerous Klon-
dixie gold seekers. discouraged by the
rigors OF Alaskan winter. have returned
to the Yaqui country, where splendid
finds are being made. For the past few
months. he says, as many as 20 pros
pectors each week have fitted out in
El Paso, Texas, and departed over the
Rio Grande. Sierra Madre and Pacific
railroad for the Yaqui territory. A few
days ago rich vein was struck near
Guayanopa, which runs 5000 ounces of
silver and II ounces OF gold to the ton.
There is, without doubt. considerable
gold there; but to be worked profitably
plenty of capital and the most improved
machinery are requisite. There Is no
starvation in Yaqui. Prospecting in the
Yaqui country Is relatively cheap.
Everything purchased is paid for in
Mexican money. The climate is health
full and work can be prosecuted for 365
days in the year. The horse is the only
means of Transportation.

Yachts built of wood are sheathed
with copper, and so are many tug
boats. Merchant ships are sometimes
sheathed with copper, but nowadays
the material most commonly used is a
composition metal, which in appear
ance resembles brass. 1t does not
wear so long as copper, but it costs
less. The composition metal comes
in sheets about three feet by one foot
four inches. They are fastened on
the ship with nails of the same ma
terial. Sometimes the sheathing is
nailed directly on to the hull of the
ship. Sometimes it is nailed over an
other sheathing of felt, which helps to
preserve the call1ing in the seams.
When the ship has been placed in a
dry dock, or raised out of water on a
floating dock, the old metal is stripped
off and if she is to have felt sheath
ing the bottom of the ship is first
painted with coat of pitch, and the
sheets of felt are laid upon that, and
then the sheets OF metal are nailed on
over them. The work is done very
rapidly, and, at the same time, with
great nicely. Every nail head is sunk
so that it is flush with the plate. If
the hand were passed over the sheath
ing anywhere it would be found
smooth. If the nail heads were per-
mitted to project they would, of

Seventy-fvo men can sheath an
1S00-ton ship in two days. The cost
of sheathing such ship with compo-
sition metal, over felt, including ma
terial, dock charges, labor, and every
thing, would be about $4,000, or a lit
tie less, and such sheathing would
last about two long voyages. New

Make the Men Market.

There are few things that exhaust o
woman more than days shopping.
The average man looks upon awoman's s
purchasing day" as one of pleasure,
but when he accompanies her on one
of these shopping expeditions he goes
home, after his patience has been all
exhausted, with different belief. He
learns, too, that woman can endure
vexations and disappointments with
much more equanimity than he can,
and mentally VOWS neverto do it again.
The number of miles traversed is
really what tires one, and it is little
wonder that the woman who does the
shopping for herself and her entire
family, as well as the marketing and
the bargaining with the "butcher and
baker and candlestick maker" should
feel the need of rest for her tired
nerves.
The man of the house should always
do the marketing. In the old days,
when the butler was not the stately
parsonage he is now, women were
never troubled, with the worries of
household purchasing, for the head of
the house did the entire buying, and
"James" carried the parcels and was
not ashamed to do it.
No mother who has the care of little
children should give the precious
morning hours to anything else but to
the nursery, nor should she let butch
ers' and grocers' boys call for and de-
liver orders, because there is sure to
be dissatisfaction if she does. Some
wealthy families allow their chef to
take charge of the household, and he
collects large percentage from the
tradesmen, which, of course, is added
to the monthly bill. Reputable store
keepers will not do this kind of bust
ness, however, and the chef "patrol-
age" is controlled entirely by a few
men. On the whole, it is much more
satisfactory for the man of the house
to do the marketing. He will get the
best meat, have bis orders promptly
attended to and save about twenty five
per cent. in the transaction, as well as
the health of his wife. Chicago Times.

Says the st. Paul Globe: One re
suit of the financial depression-one
of the good things that often come out
of evil-has been the back the land
movement among urban people. The
illusions that drew thousands from
the farms to the cities have been
shattered by the hard conditions
entailed by the panic. The vital, ever
present, inescapable necessities of life
are bread and butter, and these the
city can give only at second HAND,

business is not so much to the advan.
tage of the woman herself as to the
business man. Such a woman has
more respect for him, more regard,
more sympathy. She is altogether
less likely voluntarily to impose upon
him or involuntarily to harass and
worry him. She has been there, she
knows how it is herself, and this per-
sonal experience and knowledge make
her more lenient and considerate.
Every woman wage Garner worthy
of the name learns first, last and all
the time that success is only attained
by close attention and single minded
ness. The woman who realizes this
must also realize that the same rule
holds good of the business man. In

AS time goes on fashions become
more decided and as the eyes grow
accustomed to the new styles, their
faults and errors in taste are detected
and all that is bad is carefully elimi-
mated. A perfect blending of colors
and individual suitability of style are
the rocks upon which most women
come to grief, but the styles are so
pretty and so varied this season that it
ispossible for the woman of taste and
Judgment to look well without q
prodigious outlay of money. Most of
the new materials are expensive but
many old and inexpensive fabrics are
being made up into very smart frocks,
and thin goods, such as muslins, lawns
and dimities, are absurdly cheap.

The New York Post remarks:

The New York Post remarks: Be.
lieving that all of the watering OF
milk, shown in recent test made by
the Department of Agriculture in
Pennsylvania, to have been practised
On the milk supply of the cities of that
State, is not done by the milk pro-
ducers, another test has been made
in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. In
the first test samples were obtained
from railroad stations, milk-depots,
milk-stores, wagons and restaurants.
In the later test additional samples
were obtained from the dairies and
also from private families. In Phil
adelphia the same cans Of milk have
been followed from the dairy where
the milking was done to the table Of
the family in which the milk was con.
sumed. 1t was clearly proven, the
Secretary of the department says, that
adulteration is practised every time
the milk changes hands, and that ap-
parently this practice continues even
down to the table of the consumer, the
inference being that portion of the
milk is consumed by the help, and the
deficiency made up by the addition of
water. The greatest comparative
adulteration was in the milk obtained
at restaurants. 1t was also shown that
practically all of the cream consumed
comes from the milk, which is after
ward sold as pure or whole milk, and
that thus practically purchasers pay
twice for the same article.

For bicycling there are a number of

dark blue edged with white cloth on
which is braiding of blue. There is

Above all things shoddyism is to be
avoided. If you can afford but one
gown, let that be of some such sensi-
bio and well-wearing material as serge,
ch3viot, covert cloth or mohair. Moth

soiled or ravelled silk. Dragged silk

immaculate and well starched Is
that not better than a draggled piece
of old finery, for silk will gather the
dirt, will cut and split, and will not
wash. Now that the ''frou frou" is
out of style, percale skirts are more
to be recommended than ever. They
cost, ready made, 80 apiece, but if
one is handy at the sewing machine,
two skirts very much fuller than the
ready made ones can be made for less
than that price. Six yards at 124
