The Tepid Bath is Best of All Baths.
The best of ali baths is the tepid
bath, SAYS Ruth Ashmore in the
November Ladies Home Journal.
1--WE hear wonderful stories of Eng
lish girls breaking the ice to lump
into their baths. [ have known a
great many English girls with beau
tiful compilations who took their
baths as regularly as they did any
one Of their meals, and their appe.
titles were unusually good. Every
one of them took tepid soap bath,
and If she had no means Of having q
shower she gave one 70 herself by
pouring water over all parts of her
body, changing the temperature Of
this shower so that from tepld it be
came almost cool, but never icy cold.
Having chosen your bath you must
remember that a good rubbing is a
part of it. The bath that leaves you
weakened is useless-indeed, dang
erOus - whereas the bath that
strengthens you, and makes you feel
full of life and vitality, is the one
you need. All the creams that were
oNeI ulaue' ali Clle poWuerS lIldC
were ever ground up, and all the
liquid beautitiers that ever existed
as untruths, will not do one thous-
andth as much toward making a
girls complexion good AS the proper
observance of the bath and the regu-
lar taking of exercise

True Courage.

The stuff that heroes are made of
is a mixture Of fortitude, resolution,
ard gumption. They are all com
mon sense materials, which every
man and woman ought to cultivate
and cherish. not only because they
are so indispensable in a crisis, but
because they are so exceedingly
handy for everyday use. Most OF us
are familiar with fear, and know
what sinking Of the heart means and
how it feels when the knees knock
together. Those sensations are
mere physical symptoms that indi-
cate not the absence of courage, but
the occasion for it. 1t is the habit
of looking out intelligently over a
sinking heart. and Of compelling a
pair of shaking legs to stand still or
carry you forward, that develops the
tortitude which is so useful in all
human concerns and so essential to
personal comfort. We ought all OF
US to have at least the courage OF
our particular calling. Very few of
US will ever be under fire, or on d
sinking ship, or will stand in the
tenth-stOry window of burning
building, or will meet IA mad dog, or
sven have to stop runaway horse.
Those adventures are not a part OF
everyday life. But very many of US
may feel a sinking of the heart when
accident Details, or under long
anXIeties Of sickness, or in the face
of fiscal embarrassments. The
spirit that meets the ordinary
Weiss, udes of life with tranquility
and energy ought to find its strength
equal to calamity too, if that should
come. Life is pretty troublesome
anyway. We have to live in more
or less peril We cannot afford to
live also in fear. The folks who
have the best of it are those who
have trained themselves to realize
that their bodies are something they
live in, that their belongings are an
environment, and that both are
liable TO damag" from without, but
that they themselves are spiritual
creatures who can't be hurt unless
they consent to il, aud who are mas
tiers of their ate.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Importance of color is some
thing recognized by too few women.
and now that yellow is one of the
leading models, we shall find many
wearing it VINO should most careful
ly avoid it, for it IL singularly unbe-
coming to those it does not suit, de-
veluping the worse shades in the
face. Nevertheless yellow tulIe
bows, lisse jabots, yellow artificial
flowers, and yellow trimmings to
hats and toques are flooding the mar
! ket. No one can all their lie through
be faithful to any particular shade;
! green is in later life becoming to
those who could not wear it in their
youth, while pinks and light blues,
so suitable to a young face, are any
thing but advisable as the years go
on. Peach is faithful color that
| can be worn in middle life almost as
we'll as by girl in her teens. Older
women are apt to fall back upon
J black with far too faithful persls'-
ence; 1t always wants sOftenIng to-
wards the face, and the introduction
of bright color renders it mostly
becoming. For the moment black
would seem to be the groundwork
for nearly all colors in material and
millinery.

.EMBARKATION OF SPAN|ARDS
WILL COMMENCE AT SANTIAGO
ON THE TWENTY FIFTH.
Spanish Company Is Able to Garry
Out Its Contract-Prisoners May
Not Be Landed at Cadiz.

Washington, July 21.-An official Of
the quartermaster' department with
Skaters army will be detailed by Gen
eral Smarter to supervise the embarka-
ton of the Spanish prisoners for Spain.
According to the terms of the contract
with the Spanish Transatlantic COM
pany, this will begin by the 18th inst,
when the company will have five ships
at Santiago. Practically all the prep
arations for shipping the prisoners are
necessarily lett with the quartermaster
at Santiago the department here see
ing to it that the transports are at their
designated places on time. Absolute
confidence is felt by Colonel Hecker, in
charge of the transportation bureau,
in the ability OF the Spanish company
to carry out its contract. He had the
opportunity of personally meeting Mr..
Ceballos. who represented the company
at New York, and found him thorough
ly alive to the needs of the situation.
Colonel Hecker feels that his course in
awarding the contract to the Spanish
company, while it may give rise to
some Unfavorable comment, was the
best possible solution of the question.
Although the enemy's ships will be
allowed to enter our own ports, yet
after the prisoners are aboard they
will be on the ships of their mother
country, will be subsisted by the Span
ish company, and on arrival at the
Spanish port or ports will be subject
TO the police and quarantine regula-
tons of their own country. 1t is al
together unlikely. it now seems, that
the prisoners will be landed at Cadiz,
as the advertisement asking for pro-
posalS carrying the men indicated
might be the case, as some other port
or ports may be designated by Spain.
The question depends, it is thought, in
a large measure, on the location of the
Lazarette, as it is gener-
ally expected that the Spanish govern
ment Will want to keep the men in |
quarantine for certain length of time
to avoid any danger which might arise |
from their having been camped in To- /
calities in or near which yellow fever /
has been raging.

DIsCREDITED BY PALMA.
Does Not Believe the Stories of Eric
ton In Cuba.

Washington, July 21.-General Palma,
president of the Cuban junta, is in the
city. He does not credit the stories
about the reported friction between
Cuban soldiers and the Americans.
Il think" he said, ''all Cubans recog-
nize the nice work of the Americans in
helping the Cubans to their independ-
ence. / cannot think any regular SOL
diers of the Cuban army have refused
to help build roads. dig trenches, etc.
Il do not know what some few scat
tered soldiers may have done. but it is
not reasonable to suppose that any of
the regulars under Garcia have de-
clined to perform such services. Gen
eral Garcia, from the beginning. said
he was ready to do all that was neces-
sary to aid the Americans. and his
soldiers have for years been doing such
work as you refer to. They have grown
accustomed to it"
What do you estimate as the num-
Der of Cuban soldiers under arms in
Cuba at the present time?" was asked.
Il think we have about $4,000 Cuban
soldiers under arms in Cuba now" said
General Palma. There are probably
about 1900 or 5000 with Garcia and the
balance of them are scattered all over
Cuba. 1t must be remembered that we
have possession Ola. good many towns
and there must be a guard maintained
over them. All through the provinces
there is need for the protection which
is afforded by these soldiers. Most of
our cavalry is in Porto Principe"
General Palma does not credit the
reports regarding the death of General
Garcia. He said he had a letter from
General Garcia a few days ago, and he
believes he is still alive.

FAMINE AND DISEASE IN CUBA
SHIPWRECKED SEA CAPTAIN
CROSSES THE ISLAND.
Misery and Poverty Seen Every
where-Supplies Are Reaching
Havana BY Way Of Batabano.

New York, July 21-On the NoTwe-
gian steamer Tito, which arrived from
Mexican ports, were Captain Hans
Christensen and his wife and the mate
and seven seamer of the Norwegian
bark Sterling. which was wrecked off
the Cuban coast on June 20. Three
other Seamen, the rest of the bark 5
crew, engaged berths on sailing vessels
at ProgreSo.
Captain Christensen said that a
Spanish schooner landed him, his wife
and his men at Batabano, on the
south side of Cuba, whence they were
carried by rail to Havana, where they
spent three days. They returned to
Batabano and put to sea on another
Spanish sailing craft, which made the
trip 10 the Mexican coast without
sighting any American warships.
Captain Christensen declared that
supplies were reaching Batabano from
Yucatan and y ere being shipped across
the island to Havana. The island over
which the provisions were sent was
guarded by detachments of Spanish
troops.
Misery and poverty were seen every
where in Batabano. Scores of men,
women and children surrounded the
party, crying for bread. Their
clothing was in rags and all looked as
ton if food was withheld from them
much longer.
1t was impossible to heed the cries
of the distressed people. and as the
captain and the seamen passed through
the streets the supplicating tones gave
way to harsh shouts of "Americanos."
Captain Christensen tried to take his
wife and his crew to Havana, because
small poX and yellow fever had be-
come epidemic, and they were afraid
of contracting one or the other. AT
every station on the route were seen
bodies of Spanish troops, who peered
into the train.
Arriving in Havana on June 23, Cap
tain Christensen sought the Norwe-
gian consul. who told him that the
blockade was strictly enforced, and his
best cha ice to leave the island was
from Batabano. Accompanied by a
member of the consulate, the skipper !
made a tour of inspection about the /
capital. Business was dead and the I
of life were sold at out /
rageous prices, he said. Bread could /
not be had. In its place hard crackers
were sold. Restaurants charged 30 /
cents for two eggs. Other provisions |
were even higher in proportion. The
streets were overrun with troops and
there was a drill every day in the
Prado.
Neither yellow fever nor smallpox
had broken out to any extent in the
city, but both were raging in outlying
districts.

DAMAGE WROUGHT BY A SHELL
EIGHT-INcH SHOT EXPLODED ON
THE INDIANA.
Went Through the Deck and Caused
Great Eavoc-Shows the Need of
Fire-proof Woodwork.

Washington, July 21.-The navy de-
partment has obtained very striking
conception of the tremendous power
of a shell bursting within the close
enclosure of a battleship from a report
which has just been received at the de-
partment from Captain Taylor of the
Indiana.
Aside from the actual bursting en-
ergy of the shell described by Captain
Taylor, it is perceived from his report
that great danger was experienced
from fire, owing to the fact that the
Indiana is not, like some of the bat
tleships of later construction, fitted
with fireproof wood throughout 1t is
safe to assume that this report, taken
in connection with the destruction of
the Spanish squadron in large part
by fire, off Santiago, will lead the navy
department 70 redouble instead of re-
Taxing its efforts to protect the Ameri-
can warships from fire by all known
scientific means. Captain Taylor'S re-
port reads as follows:
About - midnight last night the
ship was struck by a shell, apparently
from an S2s mortar, which pierced
the deck at the flash plate between
beam 76 and 77-four inches from the
starboard rail The shell exploded in

Large fragments pierced the water

fragments also pierced and completely

leading to the orlop deck. The rooms
in the vicinity on both side were badly

done to the furniture and corrugated
