Washington, Dec. 1S.-Encouraging
news reached the navy department to-
day from Admiral Watson at Manila
respecting the members of the crew of
the Yorktown boats party which land
ed at Baler last spring. The report
gives the account of a sailor of the
party who has made his way to Ma
Mia, and ii shows that eleven of the
original party of fifteen are still alive.
The man Rynders, who brings this
news, was coxswain of the Yorktown, "a
native of Amsterdam, but a resident of
San Francisco where he shipped.
The four dead men mentioned enlist
ed at the following points: Nygard,
Russian, at Brooklyn; Mcdonald of
Carmel Valley, Cal. at Mare Island;
Diller, native of Peru, Ind, at Mare

Barton Takes Colenso.

No further news has been received
from Cape Town, but the Cape Argus
has dispatch from a correspondent
describing the battle at Tugela river,
who says:
General Barton carried the village
of Colenso at the point of the bayonet,
and under a raking fire."
The few accounts of the battle that
are yet to hand fail to give an accurate
idea, but the statement that General
Clery commanded. destroys the current
idea that he was engaged in some turn
ing movement and that the Tugela
river battle was only part of larger
scheme of operation
A coincidence in connection with Lord
Roberts appointment at the present
juncture. is the circumstances that he
was similarly appointed commandment
chief after the British defeat at Ma
juba Hill. On this occasion. however,
it is not likely that he will reach South
Africa to find peace patched up be-
tween his sailing and arrival.

turned down the street, which ran
parallel to Columbia avenue.

I've been doing some very hard rid

for there were tears In her own. "Why,
there is Nor-Mr. Ford" she exclaimed,
as that young man came up the side
street toward them.
Ford was surprised to find Celia with
her father, but delighted withal. Her
reception was such as one might give
the ghost of a dear friend.
Here are some papers / meant to
give you, but forgot them"
"Oh, yes," replied Bethune, taking
the package. you'll be up this even

his daughter which seemed to add,

him, and Ford felt he was to know his
fate that night and feared what it
would be. Celia was very pale; her
manner was unmistakable.
After tea Mr.. Bethune sat in his IL

to herself as she flew to answer the

Don't work. because the things that
used to please you please you no long
er; the things that used to hurt you
hurt you no longer.
1t is customary to say that men are
strong and women tender; but there is
nothing so fine as the unobtruded
strength of woman nor SO exquisite as
the hidden tenderness of man.
If every woman's faults were written
on her forehead bangs would be fash
ionable.
Nothing irons out woman's wrinkles
SO pleasantly as the knowledge that the
man who threw her over is living un-
happily with his wife.
While am thanking the Lord for res
cuing me from the man used TO love
it may be that he is giving thanks for
being rescued from me.
Our enemies may give us little dis
comfort, but the capacity of our friends
to hurt us is little less than demoniac.

DEEPENING ALABAMA RIVER.
Project Evidently Under way
thns Would Mean Big Things to
the Alabama Iron Trade.

Selma, Ala, April 12.-During the
past week an experienced engineer
from Pennsylvania was in Selma TAX
ing the elevations and otherwise maxi
ing inquiries into the feasibility of
deepening the Alabama river by sys-
tenn of dams so as to allow ocean-go-
ing vessels to come up as far as Sell
ma. Selma is 1870 feet above tidewater.
and the purpose is to construct ten
dams, at intervals, on the river, which
Will give 30-foot depth at all times in
the channel. The engineer, who, af:
ter making careful study in the mat.
ter, gives it as his opinion that each
dam could be constructed at cost not
to exceed $1,0o0,00o, making the total
cost of turning the Alabama into a
ship canal about $40, 0,000, 900. In whose
interest the engineer, who made the
estimates, came to Selma, is not
known, but he had talks with citizens
who gave him all information in their
possession. Selma is only few miles
from the coal and iron fields, and the
consummation of this undertaking
would mean great things for northern
and central Alabama.

ANCIENT SPEAKING STATUES.
Interesting informant About the
Mechanical Statues of Egyp-
tian Gods.

M. CASTOR Maspero, the well-known
French Psychologist, has recently
written an interesting article on the
speaking statues" of ancient Egypt
He says that the statues of some of the
gods were made of jointed parts and
were supposed to communicate with
the faithful by speech, signs and other
movements. They were made of wood,
painted or gilded. Their hands could
be raised and lowered and their heads
moved, but it is not known whether
their feet could be put in motion. When
one of the faithful asked for advice
their god answered either by signs
or words. Occasionally long speeches
were made, and at other times the an
swer was simply an inclination of the
head. Every temple had priests whose
special duty it was to assist the statues
to make these communications. The
priests did not make any mystery of
their part in the proceedings. 1t was
believed that the priests were inter-
mediary between the gods and mortals,
and the priests themselves had very
exalted idea of their calling. They
firmly believed that the souls of di-
whites inhabited the statues, and they
always approached them with religious
fear and reverence.
These priests would stand behind
the statues and move their heads or
hands or speak for them. never doubt
ing that at that moment their move
ments and words were inspired by the
divine spirit dwelling in the statues.
The statues were regarded as so very
much alive that in war they shared
the fate of those people whose deities
they were. They were taken prisoners,
condemned to death or given into
slavery-in other words. placed in the
temples of the conquering gods. If
they were returned to their own tenn
pies they bore inscriptions testifying
to their defeat and imprisonment.-N.
