Admiral Sampson has written for the
April century an illustrated article fully de-
scribing the work of "The Atlantic Fleet in
the Spanish War;" and drawing Its lessons
The more important features of this paper
are plan setting forth the character of the
blockade of Santiago HarbOr; maps showing
the relative positions from day to day Of
Cervera, Schley, and Sampson; and series
OF bird's-eye plans of the engagement of
July 8, showing the positions Of the vessels
at different stages of the fight. In a foot
note the Admiral tells this good story: LAS

response to his call for help. one of the crew
seized the chaplain's reading desk, which
was slowed on the main deck In the passage

cross showing on 1t. AS he did so, he cried
out grimly, Cling to the cross and you'll be
savedp The Spaniard followed instruc-
tions, and was saved"

Lavender Redivivus.

Old-fashioned lavender perfume has
come back to favor among the many
other revivals Of nearly a century ago.
It appears in the list OF French ex-
tracts and sachets, and its delicate
fragrance exhales from the petals of
choice Parisian-made artificial flowers.
The color of the lavender is agreeable
to many people who do not like other
perfumes. In imagination 1t is always
associated with freshness, sweetness
and housewifely daintiness. Poets
have sung the praise of lavender, and
In general estimation the odorous grey.
blue-tinted spike ranks next only to

When the nervous system is so run
down and worn out that sleep refuses
to come to it's relief, the life forces are
rapidly consumed and both physical
and mental faculties soon lose all
power of recuperation. Nerve force is

and must be supplied from some
source or it breaks down. DR.. Miles

organs that are most in want. 1t

Fifty-eight Years Old!

It's long life, but devotion to the true
interests and prosperity of the American
People has won for it new friends as the
years rolled by and the original members

these admirers are loyal and steadfast

its old age all the vitality and vigor of

bounded facilities for the requirement
of knowledge on all subjects, and the
poor are as rich in this respect IS the
richest of the rich. Therefore the OBJ
stacles which stand in the way of any
mans efforts should only tend to make

to the necessity of building up new

barriers.
Individuality of effort is a great fac

never depend upon the suggestions or

they appear to offer great returns.
Let the starter in hfe'S business bat

lowing the drift of public demand he
