Manila. March 8.-Yesterday Z. af- ternoon Gen.

The country is now clear on the left of the river, but the enemy is still in front of Gen. Wheaton's line. Neaf San Pedro Macati tbey have been actively attempting to make the position of the Sixth artillery on the hills untenable, their sharp. shooters keeping up constant fire all day.

To Beautify scrawny Weeks.

Now that it has been discovered that tho linen collars worn by women for several years are ruining the beauty of their necks, remedies for scrawny and wrinkled necks are In demand
 If there be a general absence of flesh on the body, careful dieting will do all that is required. As many as five meals a day may be indulged in, but they must be taken at regular hours, allow ing sufficient time for digestion in be- Tween.
 Plenty of milk, milk puddings, eggs, bread, cakes, sweet fruits and all kinds of vegetables, meat well cooked and fish should be partaken of till signs of improvement are visible. Then care must be observed that one does not err in the other direction and become stout. When trying to put on flesh. avoid everything acid, take plenty of warm baths, and sleep and rest as much as possible.
 But if it be only the neck and shoul- ders which are seraggy, and more flesh is not required or desirable on the rest of the body, a different method must be pursued. Cod liver oil can be easily taken in a little cold water, with a pinch of salt afterward to remove the taste.
 The neck and shoulders must be bathed in warm water before retiring for the night, and olive or sweet oil well rubbed in. In the morning, after bathing, rub gently and in a circular direction for about ten minutes, follow ed by ten minutes exercise with dumb bells.
 Singing lessons always greatly im- prove the shape of the throat. as this has a great deal to do with breathing properly. Take deep breath and hold 1t as long as possible. Keep the neck always well and warmly covered.

Danger ofchiIdren Sucking Thumbs.
 Although many babies throve and grew up in spite of sucking their thumbs, perhaps many who died might have been saved if their mothers had prevented their doing so. At least that is the theory of Dr. Monae Lesser, who says that fever germs and all sorts of other germs may be carried to the system by putting the fingers in the mouth.
 The careful mother of to-day, in her wholesome fear of deadly germs, must have no sympathy for her little ones determination to suck it's thumb. sae should exert all her sself-conrol, when the temptation comes to her to yield to the little tyrant, to keep him quiet. Should the habit be a fixed one, she should treat the rebellious thumb to a coating of aloes, or it's possessor to the heroic remedy of good

in Philadelphia. The lumber was OBJ
tained on the Wilderness battlefield,
and the bills Of lading show that the
trees were felled and the lumber
sawed on the field where Lee and
Grant fought SO fiercely and stubborn
ly for supremacy. In some Of the
plGnks the mimic balls can be plainly
seen, particularly where the bullets
have been cut through by the saw,
which seemed to go through the lead

where the bullets were found are dis.
colored and rotten. but not enough to
