LEMONS IN HOT WEATHER.



rhcy Arc of Great Medicinal Value Dur
ing tho Enervating Days of Summer.
We know in dull sort OF way that
lemons are useful. and II we didn't
might easily find this out by looking
over the papers. But just how valua-
BILE they are few of us realize. They
are of great medicinal value. and are
better than patent medicines and nos
trums put up in bottles and boxes for
the benefit ca of the human family. A
teaspoonful of lemon Juice In small
cup of black coffee will drive away an
attack Of bilious headache, but it is
the attack OF headache. A slice Of
lemon rubbed on the temples and back
of the neck is also good for headache.
These facts help in beautifying one. for
one can't be beautiful and ailing at the
same time. The days are past when
the delicate woman with NERVES" was
the heroine of all the novels, and the
"clinging vine' supposed to be admired
by all men. Lemons taken externally
or rather used, will aid in beautifying
any one. There is nothing more val-
liable for the toilet table than solu-
tion OF lemon juice; little rubbed on
the hands. face and neck at night Will
not only whiten. but soften the skin
A paste made of magnesia and lemon
iuice applied to the face and hands up
on living down for fifteen minutes rest
will bleach the skin beautifully. For
diseolored or stained fingernails tea
spoonful OF lemon juice in cup OF
warm soft water is invaluable; this is
one of the best manicure acids. 1t
vii, loosen the cuticle from the finger
nails as we'll as remove discolorations.
Lemon Juice in water is an excellent
tooth wash. This is about the only
thing that will remove tartar. It will
also sweeten the breath.-Louisville

but upon what was actually done. and
upon the ratio established by this per-
formance.
In the special report made by the
board it is stated that the Almirante
Oauendo suffered more than any other
OF the ships except the torpedo boats.
Her upper works were masses OF dis
torted steel and her decks were litter
ed with killed and wounded. She was
hit on the port side four times by g.
inch shells, three times by 4-inch
shells, twice by 6-inch guns and AZ
times by 6-pounders. AS will be seen
in one of the illustrations. an s-inch
shell entered the forward turret at the
gun embrasure. This exploded ana
killed every man in the turret, most
OF them instantly, for the officer stand
ing in the firing hood and one man
at lever were found in those positions
when the ship was examined by the
board. The Vizcaya was swept by
storm of projectiles from the rapid
fire guns. She was hit by the larger
projectiles fourteen times and by the
6-pounders eleven times. The S-inch
guns OF the Brooklyn and the oregon
and the 5-inch guns Of the Brooklyn
completely wrecked her structure
above the armor belt The 6-inch shells
perforated her. and supplementing all
this was the destructive work OF the
Iowa's 4-inch. In the Infanta Maria
Teresa, the only vessel hit by IL or 10
inch projectiles. two of these went
through her. one probably fired by the
Texas and one from some other OF
the battleships. Each claims the shot.
An S-inch shell. credited to the Brook
lyn, entered the side just forward OIL
the port beam, burst and disabled four
crews manning the guns of that deck.
This is the shot, Admiral Cervera says.
which set hre to the ship, and, as her
fire mains were cut. forced her. from an
inability to extinguish the flames, to
surrender and seek the shore.

indicating the haste with which the
people were driven from their guns.
The fire of the gun crews OF the Viz
caya was very materially lessened and
almost silenced because the gunners
were not able to serve their guns nn-
der the severe fire poured upon them
by the American ships.
Here are the lessons OF the fight.
They are commended to the considera-
tion OF those who, when the next in
evitable sea war comes, feel that our
bluejackets ought to be given such
ships and such possible security as
will enable them to get into action
with a fair and an equal fighting
chance.

With n woman's wit, however. she rose to

clination for serious work Is lacking.
Then, II she is wise, Will begin the

she wishes to remember having been

OF this list scores of pretty things
may suggest themselves. tritles that
may cost but little more than care
and time, but whose value is increased
on that account. The majority of wom-

simple little gift made by the careful
fingers of some friend. The white lin
en- work is especially fascinating with
its pretty hemstitching and artistic de-
signs. Tray cloths. tea cloths, sachets,
toilet sets, table mats, sofa pillows and
bed sets are but few of the articles
which may be suggested for summer
work. The woman who loves her home
in the city or country will find end
less ways of beautifyins 1t, and needle
work will be the main feature of 1t.
The woman whose family cares keep
her in the city home during the sum-
mer months can make herself and fam
lily very comfortable II she so desires.
She can take up the carpets and leave
bare floors. which can be wiped up
almost every dag with water nearly
cold in temperature. She can take
down the heavy portieres and replace
them with printed shades. Awnings,
screens, llnen-covered cottons or bur-

came out best. She was struck only
six times by larger projectiles, and
surrendered when the Oregon's 13-inch
shells spanned her within destruc-
tive range. One S-inch shell. sponsor
unknown. landed in the Colon's ward
room, and. exploding. wrecked the
compartment. and S-inch pro3ectile,
nicely placed. smashed her bow. None
OF these injuries was sufficient to put
her out of action. and the press re-
ports state that they were not SO seri-
Gus as those received by the Brooklyn.
On board the Vizcaya projectile
struck loaded torpedo. which explod-
ed. killing twenty men and setting fire
to the forward part of the ship. The
whole fight lasted little over three
hours and a half. IL the reports are
accepted that 1t began about thirty
five minutes past 8 a. m, and was con-
cluded with the surrender OF the Colon
at twenty minutes past p. m.
Here is what the Spanish officers
say of the battle:
The Oquendo received a heavy Are
from the combined fleet while In the
entrance, and 6-inch shell, either
from the Texas or the Oregon. struck
the Colon in the bow. The Vizcaya
was not badly hit until the Oquendo
and Maria Teresa had been driven
ashore. The Oquendo tried to give
some protection to the torpedo boats.
but was simply riddled with 6-pounder
shells. She was really in worse stress
than the Maria Teresa until a shell
from the Texas hit the latter's flood
pipes and shell from the brooklyn
cleaned out her gun deck. Then the
men on the Oquendo refused to work
the guns, and there was nothing to do
bu. run her ashore. The decks were
covered with wounded and dead men,
and the ship was on fire" Captain
Eulate says: "The Brooklyn's fire on
our broadside was frightful. and the
men could not stay at their guns"

sells. All the captured Spanish ON
GERS bear testimony to the part played
in the battle by the lighter pieces
Guns crews were killed or driven
from their weapons; the decks became
shambles. The morale of the enlisted
men was shattered. No protection
above the armored belt sufilced to re-
sist the searching qualities OF these
smaller pieces. Long before the ves-
sells yielded the crews abandoned the
batteries and sought refuge wherever
the thickness OF metal promised shell
ter. Then came the fire.
The damage done by the ignition of
the woodwork of the ship was extraor-
dinary. At first 1t was fought but the
bursting projectiles OF the larger cali
bers sprinkled the decks with particles
which were like igniting fuses. The
flames spread rapidly. first about the
wooden decks and the wood-sheathed
and bulkheaded quarters below. and
then attacking the bridges, boats and
superstructures. The free ammunition
about the batteries began to explode;
the abandoned guns commenced to dis
charge their unprotected cartridges. At
last. when the ships struck the coral
and the supports of tunnels and masts
were carried away or strained. these
vertical masses began to sway and
topple. and as the vessels turned on
their bilges gave way entirely and
came down with shock that rent
everything in their neighborhood
Finally the confagration reached the
magazines, and the flame clouds hover
ing over the twisted and distorted
frames and beams were slitted by great
masses OF fire and by bursting projec-
tiles shooting skyward. In this roaring
furnace the steel and iron became NAL
leable. and as the ships rolled and
pounded on the beach the forge on
which they were bent and nangled
was provided for them.
It is no wonder, then, that the
board reported the improbability OF
saving all but the Maria Teresa, and
possibly the Colon, for the Oquendo
and vizcaya, torn by projectiles and
given over to the flames of their burst
ing charges. were gutted or shattered
in such shape that their days Of USE
fulness were over.
Briefly summarizing. the conclusions
reached by the Board Of Examination
were A. follows:
The use of wood In the construction
and equipment of warships should be
reduced to the utmost degree possible.
Loaded torpedoes above the water line
are q serious menace to the vessels
carrying them. and they should not be
80 carried by vessels other than tor
pedo boats. The value OF rapid-fire
batteries cannot be too highly esti-
mated. All water and steam pipes
should be laid beneath the protective
deck and below the water line and
fitted with risers at such points ~

1t must be kept in mind that the ac-
tual work of our 10 and 10 inch pieces
was not controlling. The main re-
suits were achieved by the S-inch and
lower calibers. and by the rapid fire
pieces. Thirty-two OF the S-inch were
mounted, and 1t is surprising with
what effectiveness they were handled.
This brought to the front again the
old argument as to calibers. and
gives vantage ground to those who
claim that the most useful larger guns
are those which can be worked by
hand power and are independent OF
the mechanisms required in all cali
bers exceeding the S-inch. In the me-
dium-caliber guns the Spaniards pos
sessed an undoubted superiority in the
rapid-fire types. as they carried 81 guns
from the 6-inch caliber down to and
including 12-pounders. while We
mounted only IS guns of this char
acter. Omitting the machine guns.
Gatlings and the like. We carried OF
the smaller calibers 1876, the Spaniards
76: and this preponderance was most
important, notably in the case OF the
OF course that all these guns could not
be brought to bear, the Spaniards hav-
ing to depend, outside of their turret
guns. mainly on their port batteries,
and the American ships being restrict
ed in the beginning of the chase and
the closing in to their bow fire. Hence
the assumptions on the weight of metal
thrown are based, not upon what the
