 Killed, 29, or 133 per cent; wounded ], ,445, or 7.93 per cent; total killed and wounded, 1,6Ss, or 9.26 per cent. As against this percentage of 9.26 at Santiago, comes the amazing percentage of 25 per cent. at Tien Tsin, which, while unofficial is given on the authority of the surgeon of the Ninth infantry.

Must Have Them.

The geographical distribution of red
headed girls is, fortunately, wide.
They can be found in every inhabited
quarter of the world.
The so-celled dark races are fire.
quently glorifitd by glowing locks.
The Spaniards are swarthy as race,
but the -blooded Castilians
frequently show traces Of their Visi-
gothic blood by blue eyes and red hair.
The Infanta Eulalie, who visited this
country in 1893, was red d-headed.
Red-headed Italians are fairly nu !.
merous in Italy. They are most
numerous in the northern provinces,
where there is the greatest infusion of
German blood.
And there is no girl in the world
prettier than a red-headed Italian
or Spaniard, except it be redheaded
American.
In Ireland red-headed girl is made
miserable by being called "Dane. "
This cpithet is legacy Of thousand
years or more-from the time when
the Danes did override the coasts of
Britain.
In similar manner the Norsemen,
who invaded Sicily centuries ago and
intermarried with the Inhabitants,
left descendants with cleaning brain
thatches.
The Turks are light haired, blue
eyed race and their children are every
where scattered about Asia and north
ern Africa.
And where there aren't any red
haired girls BY nature-as among the
Moors and Arabs-the glowing locks
are commonest Of all. The women all
dye their jetty tresses to most lovely
red with henna.

1t is novel affair, ever to the trav-

ually little area, which is practically
an extension of the street or sidewalk,
and defined by low platform or raised
floor. From this modest eminencc the
proprietor and those about him greet
the new guest with profound bows,
their foreheads touching the floor re-
pcatedly. There is no showy Office,
no high desk, no lordly clerk, no big
book for the guests autograph-only
little table about fourteen inches
high, with an inkstone, suggesting
that here the accounts are made up.
But the guest may not yet ascend
His shoes must be left in the area.

as child would-often using the
hands as we'll as the feet. Ours is
"10-mat' room, that isYit requires

to cover or, rather, form the floor.
The mat is made of woven straw, over

The furniture? A dainty doll table,

cups and saucers, two floor cushions
