Gibraltar and Warships.

There have lately been some inter-
estlng tactics at Gibraltar between the
first class cruiser st. George and the
second class cruiser Juno, both belong
ing to the particular service squadron,
and the guns of the rock. The two
cruisers, than which there are none
smarter in the British navy, approach
ed the rock, steamlng at various
speeds, precisely as they would have
done had they been really engaged in
searching out the most vulnerable
points of the fortress. Then the bugles
of the garrison sounded to arms when
the ships were within n range of 5000
yards, and every available weapon was
discharged at one or other of the
cruisers as long as she remained with
in range, of course using blank car
tridges only. The military authorities
were immensely interested, taking
careful observations not only of how
many shots could be loosed from gun
in a given time, but also what chance
a couple Of attacking ships would have.
This was an eminently practical ex.
pertinent, and, though the results Of It
are of course a secret, locked In Off.
cial breasts, the fact of its having been
made at all shows that the powers that
be are paying serious attention to the
defenses of Gibraltar. 1t Is an expert
ment which would well bear repetition
In other localities.-London Globe.

Nuts For the Butler.

According to the New York Sun,
novel innovation In discharging social
obligations has been introduced in New
York. GAS l left the house after din

"the man with me handed to the but
Ter as he went out a visiting card, to-
gether with so cent piece. l was
surprised at the proceeding, which was
quite unfamiliar to me, and asked him
what 1t meant. lie explained that the
butler would deliver his card to the
hostess some day when she returned to
the house with the information that Its
original owner had called. In that
way his social obligations following
the dinner were discharged without
even the trouble of going to the house.
He knew perfectly we'll that the wo-
man who entertained him was busy
with social duties and that visit was
not particularly desired by her. Thcv

of thing was done in London and that,

A MECHANICAL HOTTER.

Cali sorts of freak devices have been
submitted to the government recent
ly," said an officer lately on depart
ment duty at Washington, "but the
queerest of the lot was undoubtedly
the mechanical hooter.' The hooter Is
the invention of an Iowa man and con-
slsts OF wooden tube about the size
Of n four inch section of bologna
sausage. Stretched across the aperture
is a piece of perforated rawhide, and
when blown into It emits a strange
and blood chilling howl, something alb
solutely indescribable in words, q sort

ope. 1t is the sort of noise | imagine
a hippopotamus might make during an
attack of membranous Group.
But the scheme of the inventor was
really not so bad. He pointed out In
his letter that the yell played a prom.
inent part in all military operations.
The demoralizing effect of the rebel
yell was freely admitted by all north
ern generals during the civil war, and
history has repeated itself in the re-
cent campaigns. 1t was the yell of the
rough riders as they went up San
Juan hill that scared the Spaniards
out of their trenches, and the Kansas
yell has spread more terror among
the Filiplnos than all the Calling guns
put together. From these facts he ar
gued logically that n mechanical
hooter, augmenting, magnifying and
experimenting the natural voice, would
greatly increase the efficiency of our
roops."-Chicago Chronicle.

The Big Bow on Baby's Hat.

Very big bows Of satin ribbon are
the principal trimming on little girls
winter hats. The bow is erected in
front and stands high like palisade.
Felt is now preferred to velvet for the
fashionable hat for girls, just as it Is
for their mothers millinery. A double
band Of velvet is passed around the
crown. This seems to be the rule:
Velvet bands for the crown and silk or
satin bows for the front. You do not
see quilts used much in trimming win
ter hats. Ostrich feathers are used,
and it is noticeable that they are rang
ed toward the front and often fall over
the brim, which is upturned from the
brow of the little maid. Velvet Is used
in the draw bag crown of some hats.
The brim Of this model is often made
of felt boards stitched together.

Revival After Asphyxia.

Recent observation by NJ. Laborde on
ii cases of restoration to life by rhyth-
mic traction of the tongue shows that
~ hours Of treatment may be too
short in some cases and that it would
be better, as rule, not to give it up in
despair for at least three hours, since
the vital forces can be latent for that
period. An important fact brought
out is that with the older processes Of
resuscitation one could not re-establlsh
the respiratory movements when the
asphyXia had lasted for more than five
or six minutes, but with traction Of the
tongue persons who have been under
water for 80 or 40 minutes can be re-
stored to life. NJ. Laborde states from
actual observation that the blood Of
asphxyiated animals Is rich In carbonic
acid and poor in oxygen, but is not
coagulated and keeps a certain temper
allure, and that the heart, though ar
rested, shows tremors and resumes its
action when the breathing has been
started again.-London Globe.

4 Good Woman Gone.

After seven slow moving years OF
pain and suffering upon her bed OF al
fiction, Mrs. +. +, Brennan passed in
to tho Great Beyond on Sunday night
last. Just when death seeWed farthest
away. She had spent the afternoon in
pleas ant conversation with her family
and 40 one suspected that ere the
shades of evening again would gather,
her body would be resting quietly in
the city of the dead.
Mrs. Brennan was born in County
MAYO. Ireland, and came to this coun-
try when a very young child. She was
50 at the time of her death and had
lived in Brookhaven half century.
The children left to mourn their loss
are three by a former marriage, Mrs.
James Miazza. Mrs. Eugene McCor-
mick and Martin Flood. also, Annie,
Edward and Willie Brennan, to whom
the deepest sympathy goes out. Her
loyal, kind and devoted husband is also
left to mourn the death OF her, TO whom
he would have given health and every
joy, had it been IN his power, Long
will the sweet, CHEEKY face be missed
in it's accustomed place, while the les
sons taught by patient endurance of
affliction will never be forgotten by
those who knew and loved Mrs Bren-
nan.

Since the last issue of THE LEADER,
Mr.. Watt Higdon, in the western sub
urbs, has developed a serious case of
small pox and the disease has also APP
peared in the family of Mr.. f. j. Kits,
who lives in the eastern suburbs. All
of Mr.. Views family, six in number,
contracted the disease, but none of
them were seriously i'll. DR.. Bennett
says that there have been no new cases
reported this week except a few
among the negroes in the country, and
that all who have it, with the eXcep-
ton of Mr.. Higdon, are doing well.
There are several cases of measles in

reported as small pox. If everybody
will vaccinate there need be no fear of
serious spread of the disease.
