 Well, she went into her peoples cot tage and got her barhing togs on, and I got suit and showed up at the private pier by the time she was ready A lot of the other cottagers. including the girls parents and younger sisters. were already in by this time. The girl was gotten up pretty nattily, and her bathing rig looked so natural on her that 1 thought it was a pity she couldn't swim. But she tripped over to the edge of the water, stepped into about three inches of it, and then sat down just like the ordinary run of women who are afraid of getting their hairwet, and who think they re booked to drown if they get into the water up to their knees.

ing Life and Happiness Would Be Longer.

Almost all persons die of disappoint- ment personal. mental, or bodily toll CT accident The passions kill men sometimes even suddenly. The com mon expression "choked with rage" has little eNaggeration in it, for even though not always suddenly fatal strong passions shorten life, says the Boston Herald
 Strong-bodied men often die young, and weak men usually live longer than the strong. for the strong use their strength and the weak have hardly any [ o use-the latter take care of them selves, the former do not.
 As it is with the body. so it is with the mind and the temper-the strong ale apt to break, or, like the candle, run; the weak burn out.
 Man, of all animals, is one that sell dom comes up to the average. He ought to live 100 years, according to the physiological law, but instead of that he scarcely reaches an average of four times the growing period. The req son is obvieus-man is not only the most irregular and most incorporate, but the most laborious and hardwork- ing of all animals.
 He is almost the most irritable, and there is reason to believe, though we cannot tell what an animal secretly feels, that more than any other ani- nal, man eherishes wrath to keep it warm, and consumes himself with the fire of his own reflections.

THE WAY TO RUN A FARM.

An Old Farmers Talk to His Boys.) When l was young at farming, I'd watch the turnip-tops. And quickly go to wishing
 For good. big, rousing crops. l wished for mammoth pumpkins All others to outweigh in short, l took 10 nothing
 But wishing all the day. A solace sweet and soothing In every wish would turk. I'll dreaming speculation
 Seemed surer than hard work. l wished my cellar full of
 Potatoes with will; I wished the granary grooming With corn to go to mill. While other farmers wished for 4 good supply of rain, I thought it as sound logic To wish for fruit and grain, And so l went on wishing,
 Contented with my lot. In autumn no potatoes
 Were boiling in my pot. I tell you discovered
 That wishing only breeds Keen disappointment, wishing Won't pull up choking weeds; It won't hoe corn in summer, Or husk 1t in the fall; l tell you, boys, that wishing Won't run farm at all. That winter my potatoes
 I had to go and buy Right from my smiling neighbers, Who had good supply. They'd slyly nudge their elbows, And taught me with q laugh, That labor's wheat that's golden, And speculation chaff. I learned this goodly lesson And in my heart 1t teens One day of honest labor
 Is worth ten years of dreams. And now in idly wishing.
 My duty, ne CT l shirk; But just roll up my shirt-sleeves, And like a beaver work. -R. K Munkittrick, in Golden Days

Summoning Help by Cutting Wires

The person who wrote that electric
ity was one Of the mighty agents Of
nature enchained by the ingenuity of
man" can scarcely have contemplated
in his widest dreams the full extent Of
that ingenuity, says the Electrical Re
view. For instance, he IS scarcely like
" to have prophesied that sick man,
far from the habitations Of civilization,
would have cut telegraph wire in Or
der to obtain assistance. And yet such
has really occurred, according to Lon
don contemporary. The whole of the
vast continent Of Australia was prac-
tically cut off from European news for
nearly twenty-four hours in the middle
Of September in consequence Of an in
terruption on the line between Adelaide
and Port Darwin. Inquiries were
made, and it was found that the wire
had been cut by a cyclist who was
taken i'll while on journey across the
continent. 1t is not related how he set
about it, but he had the satisfaction at
any rate of getting what he wanted. 1t
is not desired to establish this as pre-
cedent of summoning help under in
convenient circumstances.

Official Spanish Report.

Madrid, May /, Sp. m.-The follow
lowing is the text of the official dispatch
from the Governor General of the Philip
pines to the Minister of War, Lieuten-
ant-General Correa, as to the engage
ment of Manila: Last night, April 30,
the batteries at the entrance to the fort
announced tho arrival of the enemy's
squadron, forcing passage under the
obscurity of the night. At daybreak
the enemy took up positions, opening
with q strong fire against Fort Cavite
and the arsenal.
''Our feet engaged the enemy in a
brilliant combat, protected by the Cav
ite and Manila forts. They obliged the
enemy, with heavy loss. to manoeuvre
repeatedly. At 8 o'clock the American
squadron took refuge behind the for
eign merchant shipping on the east
side of the bay.
''Our feet, considering the enemy's
superiority, naturally suffered severe
loss. The Maria Christlana is on fire
and another boat, believed to be the
San Juan Costra, was blown up.
''There was considerable loss of life.
Captain Cardarazo, commanding the
Maria Christiana, is among the killed.
I cannot now give further details. The
spirit of the army, navy and volunteers

= Madrid, May /, 6:30 p. m.-Advices
from Manila say that the American
squadron, under Commodore Dewey
appeared off the Bay of Manila at .
o'clock this morning, and opened a
strong cannonade against the Spanish
squadron and forts protecting the har-
Dor. The Spanish second-class cruiser,
Don Juan de Austria, was severely
damaged, and her commander was
killed.
Another Spanish vessel was burned.
The American squadron retired, having
also sustained severe damage.
A second naval engagement followed,
in which the American squadron again
suffered considerable loss and the
Spanish warships Mindauo and Clloa
were slightly damaged,
The Spanish warships Mindano and
Ulloa were slightly damaged. During
this engagement the Cayite forts main
tanned steadier and stronger fire upon
the American squadron than in the
first engagement.
Admiral Bermejo, the Minister of
Marine, has expressed himself as highly
pleased with the heroism of the Spanish
marines, and has telegraphed congratu-
Iations to Admiral Montejo and the
valorous crews of the Spanish squadron
for their good conduct under fire on the
superior warships.

Spain,s Crushing Defeat.

London May While it is clear
that the Spanish squadron has suffered
q crushing defeat, the dispatches leave
unclear the intensely interesting ques-
tion whether the American squadron
has suffered material damage. All news
thus far comes from Spanish sources;
but it seems evident that Commodore
Dewey has not captured Manila. I'm
less he is able to make another attack
and capture the town, he will be in
an awkward position, with no base
upon which to retire and to reft.
Probably, too, the United States
squadron will be obliged to make for
San Francisco. as the entrance to Ma
Mia Bay was heavily mined with tor
pedoes. Commodore Dewey displayed
great pluck and daring in making for
the inner harbor. According to private
advises received from Madrid, the
United States cruisers Olympia, Raj
eigh and two other vessels, the names
OF which are not given, entered the
harbor. No dispatches give details as
to the vessels actually engaged on
either side.
1t appears to be incorrect that the
American ships finally anchored behind

Plain Lemon TaHy.

When the sugar has reached the
"crack" state, add the juice of lemon
and some lemon sirup and boil it until
it changes color. Pour into an oiled
tin (sweet oil or butter), let it cool a
little; then mark into squares with
the back of knife. Lemon drops
are made by dropping from a spoon
on oiled tins. Other fruit juices may
be used in the place of lemon, or the
sirup may be favored with pepper
mint or cinnamon. Cocoanut taffy is
made by adding warm cocoanut, sliced
or grated, to the sirup. Slices OF
orange or any fruit or nuts may be
added; sometimes a tutti-frutti is
made by adding figs and different
kinds of fruit. The candy is then cut
into bars when cooling.
