OF place. .
The same day that the Winslow, the
Hudson, and the Wilmington were
having their action at Csrdenas, far
away on the southern coast of Cuba
another fight was taking place, in the
progress of the work of separating the
great island from therest of the world.
On the night of May 10, Captain Nc
Gala of the Marblehead called for vol
unteers to protect the cable-cutters In
their work. The roll was soon filled,
and the next morning the steam
launches of the Marblehead and Nash
vile, towing the two sailing launches

harbor of Cienfuegos about quarter be.
fore seven. They carried a squad of
marines. picked for proficiency as
marksmen, and machine gun in the
bow of each boat. The Nashville and
Marblehead then opened fire on the
Spanish batteries, and under cover of
this, and that of the steam launches,
the crews of the other boats
went to work. 1t was perilous bust
ness, but the sailors grappled and cut
successfully the two cables they had
been ordered to destroy. They also
found small cable, but the grapnel
fouled the bottom and was lost. Mean

gan to suffer. The well-directed fire
from the rifles of the marines and from
the one-pounders kept the Spaniards
from reaching the switch-house which
controlled the submarine torpedoes,
but launches could not contend with
batteries at close range, and when the
work for which they came, and which
had oil been performed under heavy,
fire, was done, they withdrew to the
ships. Nine men, including Lieuten-
ant Winslow, had been wounded, some
seriously, and three, as was reported
later, mortally. 1t was very gallant
exploit, coolly and thoroughly carried
through, under a CALLING fire, and it
succeeded in its purpose of hampering
and blocking in the enemy at the inn
portant port of Cienfuegos, which was
the road to Havana from the southern
coast. 1t was another twist in the coil
which the United States was tighten
ing about Cuba.

A Prophecy.
It is said that one day, when Crom-
we'll was but mere lad, as he was ly-
ing on his bed in melancholy mood,
gigantic spectre appeared to him
and said, "Thou shalt be the great
est man in Englandw Heath says it
was a dream; Lord Clarendon and
Sir Philip Warwick speak Of it as a
vision. But whether dream or vision,
it made profound impression on the
youth, so much so that his father re-
quested DR.. Beard-Oliver's school
master-to fog him severely for
''persisting in the wickedness of such
an assertion" The fogging only
deepened the impression. He told
his uncle Stuart of the prophecy, and
was warned that it "was traitorous to
relate it." But when he had seated
himself upon the throne of England
he frequently spoke ofthe occurrence,
and was fully persuaded in his own
mind of its prophetic and supernatural
character. Barr, in Harper 8

Tho Chinese woman's Dress.

1t seems that there are changes Of
fashion in the dress of Chinese women,
but they are confined chiefly to the
change Of length of the tunic and the
wearing or leaving off of a skirt. The
usual garments are trousers, a skirt
and two or three little coats. The
Chinese woman making an afternoon
visit takes off her skirt, when an Amer.
lean woman would remove her wrap.
If it is very warm, she may take off
one or possibly two of the little coats.
The trousers are really the most gor-
geous part of the costume, being some
times of rose.colored satin worked
with gold. Blue cotton is generally
used for everyday wear. Chinese wom-
en- wear no corsets; they have almost
no hips, so they tie the waist cords OF
their trousers and skirts very tight to
keep them from slipping off.

Wells Are Rulnous to the Complexion.
Wells do more to ruin the complexion
than any other thing. The skin needs
the friction of the air. Constant COW
ering interferes with the circulation
and the healthy action of the pores. It
heats the face, and keeps it covered
with an oily moisture which catches
the dust and dirt and gets into the
pores. When the face IS left exposed
to the air the dust is blown of, the
skin is kept dry and clean. It also
stimulates the circulation of the blood
and gives color to the cheeks. Ladies'
