died. Her body was wrapped in blan-

YEARLY on. He avoided all but the

An Unexampled Death Roll.

Never in the whole history of the
United States has there been a naval
catastrophe so destructive to human
life as the wreck Of the Maine.
Not only is this true Of the years Of
peace, but it is true Of the years Of
war. More brave men went down
with the burned and shattered hulk Of
our nable armor-clad on Tuesday night
than have perished in any single sea
fight of the Republic. The bloodiest
day in our naval history was that fatal
Sth of March, 1862, when the iron
mailed Merrimac came into Hampton
Roads and crushed successfully the
frigate Congress and the sloop-of-war
Cumberland. Though these two ships
| were defended with extraordinary
heroism, hurling their last defiant
broadsides at their impregnable foe
lust as the flames and the waves over
whelmed them, the deaths on neither
vessel were equal to those on the
Maine. The Congress lost l3O out of
complement of 434; the Cumberland
120 out Of 376.
Strange as it may seem, the dead of
the Maine outnumber several times
over all the men who fell in the Union
feet at Farragut's first great victory
of New Orleans. Thirty-seven officers
and sailors gave up their lives in that
fierce night battle ON the Mississippi.
One hundred and forty-ive perished
| in the fercer encounter of Mobile Bay,
but ninety-three Of these sank at their
posts with the torpedoed monitor
Tecumseh. Only 20 fell in Admiral
| Porter's first attack on Fort Fisher,
on December "a and 25, 1864, and 81
was the total loss of the fleet in the
second and victorious combat.
Not only is the death roll Of the
Maine greater than that Of any sea
battle which the United States has
| fought, but it is greater than that Of
any battle save one Of the British
navy in the past hundred years. The
| British loss was somewhat larger at
Trafalgar, reckoning the casualties Of
the entire feet, but no single ship
suffered more than fraction Of the
less which the Maine sustained by
this terrible explosion. Nelson's hag-
ship, the Victory, was under FIRE for
| FIVE hours, and was reduced to mere
wreck, but her killed were emily 81 out
Of \ full crew Of 800. At the battle
| of the Nile the Bellerophon,> which
was most cut up of all Of Nelson :
ships, lost ~ men out Of 594, and
the whole fleet lost 2l3. Jervis won
his Earldom at Cape St. Vincent with
loss Of 773 men. and 2e3 fell IN the
British side at Camperdown.
From these records Of the past the
American people can realize more viv-
idly the true measure of the sacrifice
which their navy has offered up in the
harbor of Havana. Boston .ilrrr-

Returning With His Dead.

ST.. JOSEPH, No., March John
A. Cowden, who drove through this
city to-day on his way from Wallace
County, Kansas, to Winfield, ILL.,, is
probably making as sad journey as
was ever undertaken by mortal man.
Meme knew that the stained and tat
tered canyas-covered wagon sheltered
the dead, and that the bodies of
Cswden's wife and two children were
being taken by him from once happy
home to their ola home ia Illinois for
interment. The nature Of the loas
which the ponies had dragged across
the treeless State of Kansas was acei-
dentally discovered when Cowden
stopped before an undertaken place
to obtain some assistance.
He said he went West ten years
ago and took farm in the extreme
western tier of Kansas counter. His
wife made the journey with him, and
their children were born On their new
claim. They managed to make both
ends meet, and last fall were hopeful
that better times were in sight. Then
misfortune came. In November fire
destroyed their home and almost their
all. In the wretchcd duyout in which
they were forced to take refuge the
two children sickened and died, and
were buried on the banks Of the
Smoky.
In despair Cowden and hi~ wife
decided to 90 back to their old home
in the East and take the remains of
the little ones with them This, they
reasoned. could be done in the winter
when the freezing atmosphere Of the
wind-swept plains would almost pctrify
the bodies before starting The Solo
mon River was croSsc, at Dclphos. u

There has just been received at
the Maryland Asademy Of Sciences
the skeleton Of an Indian seven feet
tall. 1t was discovered near Antic-
tam ssMe tine ago. There are now
skeletons of three powerful indians at
the Academy who, at one time in
their wilaasss, rsamea over the State
of Maryland armed with such iastru-
nents as nature gave them, or that
their limited skill taught them to
make. Two Of these skeletons be-
longed to individuals evidently of gi-
gantic size. The vcrtebr;r and bones
of the legs are nearly as thick as
those Of horse, and the length Of
the long bones exceptional. The
skulls are of fine proportions, ample,
and with walls Of moderate thickness,
but of great strength, and stiffcned
behind by powerful occipital ridge.
The curves of the forehead are not
retreating, suggesting intelligence,
and connected with Jaws Of moderate
development.

Mark Antony and held his heart cap
tive until her death, 10 years later.
Helen Of Troy was over 40 when her
world famous elopement occurred, and
10 years later, when the fortunes Of
war restored Menelaus to her, she was
still the same delightful woman.
What is the little matter of 10 years?
Aspasia was 36 years of age when
welded to Pericles, and at &C she was
still beautiful, so the story goes.
Nine. Recamier when "a was de-
clared the most beautiful woman in
all Europe. When her wealth was
gone and she retired to the Abbaye
aux Bois. though an old woman, her
admirers, Of both sexes, showed no
signs of falling off, When, at the
time of her death, some one asked
Guizot what was the secret of this
wonderful woman's charm, he an
swered, Sympathy! sympathy!
Is this the keynote of a womans
deathless charm? Maybe it is.
A longer list of notable names
could be made-names Of women
whose lives have proved the truth
of the remark that charming woman
knows no age, but think these few
interesting ones are enough. But
they furnish no definite answer to
"What is the perfect age?"
There may be no certain age that is
the perfect enc. If there really was,
it would but add to our discomfort.
AS it is, what cheering thing to have
proof and history is full Of it--that
age has but little to do after all with
our power to please. Youth may be
beautiful and glorious to look upon.
But youth and beauty are so feeting
keep both as long as you may, but
know always that even when these are
gone there is still much that may be
left that the world Of men-and the
world of women-are fascinated by.
Old women have gone out of fash
ion. Every wise women says to her.
self nowadays, IA woman is only as
old as she feels, no matter how old
she may look.
An English physician, Sir James
Sawyer, one of the best known of his
profession, propounds the nineteen
commandments which I append, for
health and beauty. Keep these, he
says, and you may live for a century:
l. Eight hours sleep.
2. Sleep on your right side.
3. Keep your bedroom window open.
+. Have mat at your bedroom
door.
5. Do not have your bedstead
against the wall.
6. No cold tub in the morning, but
bath the temperature Of the body.
Z. Exercise before breakfast.
8. Eat little meat and see that it is
we'll cooked.
8. Drink no milk.
10. Eat plenty of fat, to feed the
cells which destroy the diseased
germs.
IL. Avoid intoxicants, which de-
stroy those cells.
12. Daily exercise ine the open air.
IL. Allow no pet animals in your
living rooms. They are apt to carry
about disease germs.
IA. Live in the country if you can.
Is. Watch the three D's-drinking
water, damp and drains.
16. Have change Of occupation.
IL. Take frequent and short holi-
days.
IS. Limit yourambition; and
-. Keep your temper.
These rules sound prosaic-it is

health rules, but "health is beauty
