Flag of Truce.

Headquarters of Gen. Wilson at Goa
mo, Aug. 13.-(Delayed in transmits
sion. 1.-The orders to advance given to
Gen. Ernest's brigade were counter
manded upon receipt of the presidents
order to suspend hostilities.
Gen. Wilson this morning sent a
party with flag of truce to notify the
Spaniard's of the suspension of hostili-
ties, but the flag was not respected.
This was by order of Governor General
Macias. AS Gen. Macias has no COM
munication with Madrid he may thus
cut himself off from official notifica-
ton, although natives have been sent
through the Spanish lines to spread
the news that a cessation of hostilities
has been ordered.
The soldiers of the American army

light, although some of them are dis
appointed that there is to be no further

greet at the suspension of hostilities in

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM,

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrh9a badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when I read your advertisement in a
paper. I sent at once for bottle Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
send for two more After using three
bottles I felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

A True Caballero.

Well in the middle of the grounds
stands Gen. Anderson's headquarters.
As we went up the steps tall man,
rather shabbily dressed preceded us.
We noticed his military bearing, and
we're told he was the captain of one of
the Spanish men-of-war which lies
with spars at the bottom of Cavite har-
DOR. Following his footsteps, We of
necessity overheard what he said TO
the generals aid: "Senor, borrowed,
some time ago $500 from Admiral
Dewey to pay of my men. Ihaye come
10 repay the debt" He turned his pro-
lie towards us, and we noticed how
him he looked. lie must have starved
himself to collect the money. With
very straight back, be counted out
he Spanish bills, and turned 10 60.
will you not take a reeeipt?" asked
he aid of Gen. Anderson. "Neyer from
III officer" answered the gray-haired
,ld gentleman, with a eourtly old
fashioned bow. Here at least is true

No silent Clocks for Them,

A clock manufacturer of Birming-
ham found that a rival was doing a
large trade in cheap clocks sent out
10 the wilds of Africa. He got hold of
a sample clock, and, finding that there
was a heavy profit in the enterprise,
invested large sum of money in maxi
ing still better clcck, thousands of
which were shipped to the same mar
ket.
Strange to say, sales were slow.
while his rival, turning out a cheaper
and far less accurate timepiece. was
selling all he could make. Investiga-
tion showed the cause.
Savages like noise. The clocks made
by the original exporter had partic-
ularly loud and aggressive tick; his i'm
itator made better clock, but il was
almost noiseless, and the savapes
would have none oft. The remedy wa 9
simple. The next shipment of clocks
to the Guinea coast licked more loud
ly than anything previously heard
there, and all went wel.-Pearson's

Rats on Ironclads.

Confronted with the difficulties
which modern builders and house
builders put in the way of rats IN
drains, floors and skirtings, the black
rat will probably be baffied, while the
sagacious gray rat still remains more
or less master of the situation. The
case of the rat is typical of the value
of brain power. Routine, which is the
usual condition of animal existence,
does not exist for them. They have
to face reconstructions" of their conf
mon surroundings at any given mo-
ment, and their resources and adapt
ability have seldom been found want
lug. Ship rats have survived the era
Of steam and steel, and only recently
thrived so successfully in a big iron
clad that they made her majesty's ship
Colossus almost uninhabitable, House
rats have learned how to cope with
gas fittings, lead pipes, brick drains
and cement floors; sewer rats" have

Forgotten the Use of Forks.

A funny little incident happened
during the luncheon served by the city
at Industrial hall to the returning
members of the Third regiment Sat
urday afternoon. The soldier boys
had marched into the hall and taken
their places at the long row of tables
When the bugle signal to attack the
viands was given every man fell TO
with a will. At some of the plates by
some oversight there didn't happen
to be any forks. This seemingly made
no difference to the boys in blue who
were seated at those particular plates,
for they went at the croquettes and
other good thirgs without forks and
without hesitation. One of the watt
ers noticed this, and hustled after
supply of the missing table imple'
ments. Here's a fork, sah," he said'
to the first forkless soldier he ap-
preached, 81 see you haven't any.
The soldier stopped short his eating
with amazement. That's so" he
calculated. "Never noticed it, either.
You see, we've been down In camp eat
Ing with our fingers so long, good
many of MS have forgotten there was
such thing as forks" Then he took
the proffered aid to genteel dining
and once more resumed the attack
