Two old carrOnades were fished up
from the Savannah River by the dredgo
Babcock while the deepening process
for the Hutchinson's Island terminals
was in progress, says the Savannah
(Ga.) News. After the Old guns were
dug up months ago there was some
correspondence with the Smithsonian
Institute in regard TO them. but the
Smithsonian will not get the relics,
and it seems probable that they will
grace some spot in Savannah. Prop
erly mounted and inscribed with their
history and the manner and date Of
their recovery, the guns would prove
objects of no little interest.
1t is believed the hulk from which
the guns were recovered was the wreck
of the British man-of-war Rose, which
was sunk by the Continontals and the
French. The exact location of the
wreck could not be ascertained from
the historical accounts, but it Is pre-
sumed that the hulk demolished by the
dredging force was all that was left of
the British war vessel This belief is
strengthened by the fact that the car
ronades are Of the type that prevailed
about that pe.iod.

A,Mniherlr Cat.

Andy Fesler is the possessor of a
truly motherly cat, and he naturally
feels proud of her About six weeks
ago she brought forth band of little
kittens. A few days later, while Andy
was out on a hunting trip, he came
across some little squirrels just get
ting their eyes open. Thinking that
old Puss's time would be too much oc-
cupied in looking after her little ones
TO get out and hustle in the usual fresh
meat, he brought two Of the squirrels
home with which to crafty her feline
majesty's appetite. After placing the
little rodents in the nest, no more was
thought of their destiny till next day,
when, to his surprise, he found old
Puss nursing them rs tenderly as the
kittens. They are now about half
grown, and can be seen frisking
around the yard and playing leap
frog with the other kittens. seemingly
as dear to their foster mother as her
real offspring. .--Oxnard Courier.

woMAN's SECOND GROWTH.
Hor Most Beautiful aud Fruitful Years

Are Late in Life.
Since woman is in the main but
bundle OF paradoxes, 1t iC not so sur
prising to hear that a normally healthy
woman is younger, mentally and phys
ically, at so than at 40. The reason is
somewhat recondite, but still one to
be rendered in plain words. This re-
juvenation comes from a sort OF sec
ond growth Of nerve tissue, or, more
accurately, a new arrangement OF
nerve cells, which takes place com
monty in the decade between S5 and
As. The rearrangement is somewhat
analogous to the root-making of rose
or a Towering shrub. Almost every
one has noted how the riotous vitality
of the vernal impulse wreaths rose
trees in blossom UP to the period OF
midsummer. Then, though the bloom
ing continues laggardly, the flowers
are poor and small, as though the tree
were tired of fashioning them and
fretful beneath the strain. BY and by,
as August yields to September, the
flowers. though they may be fewer,
swell to more than the glory Of spring.
They are truly royal loose-leafed long
stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms, full
of every virtue-size, fragrance, color
and endurance. Then the gardener
tells You it is because in the height of
the warm weather the rose struck new
roots. and is full of the rich juices OF
a second growth. 1t is somewhat the
same with fruit trees-which, indeed
occasionally blossom and let fall crops
OF young fruit. Invariably they make
new wood, which, If only it harden
sufficiently is the best Of all wood fol
either cuttings or grafts-because, say
the orchardists, 1T has more life in
It." Grape vines, too, have a trick OF
putting forth new blooms in the fall
II they chance to be very abundant

Mental Fatigue.

Edward Thorndke sums up his con-
clusion on the subject Of mental fa-
teue as follows: Mental work is not a
simple matter of mental energy, OF
quantity Of positive or inhibitory ner-
vous discharges, but of their direction
as well; mental fatigue is not like
physical fatigue and requires different
treatment; its warning signs are more
complicated, less efiicaclous and,
therefore, more often neglected; the
warnings that we do have are not
measures Of the degree Of inability,
but indefinite and at present ill-under-
stood signs Of danger; the degree Of
mental inability does not vary proper
tionately to the amount of work done
without sufficient rest, but increases
much less quickly up to certain
amount of mental work, and then may
increase much faster, SO that one straw
Of mental work may then break NE
camel's back.

The brilliant success of El SocorrO,
the Sorosis of Cuba, has inspired some
of the younger Cuban women to orga-
nize what is called "The Open Win
dow Club" Its formation means down
right rebellion from the old forms. 1t
means that Miss Cuba is going to shop
alone when she chooses, ard It means
that she has already begun. Scores Of
pretty girls, unattended, crowd Obispo
street, the Broadway of Havana, on
the beautiful sunny mornings. 1t
makes the quaint old Spanish thor
oughfare look like a matinee afternoon
in the State when the women meet
to eat ices ut well-known resorts, and
to discuss the latest fashion DEGREES
OF some popular girls wedding. The
organization of the "Open Window
Club" means that the women have de-
cided to read and study, to keep in
touch with the world, to be independ-
ent, assertiye and even aggressive.
The influence of American women
in Cuba has shown them that clever
ness and savOir faire among them are
not impossible acquisitions. Many are
convent bred, with a knowledge of
English and French. They sing well
and play the piano with expression.
Hitherto their training ended there.
Graduation from the local converts
meant the height Of culture. Now the
Cuban woman awakened at last to
what culture really means, has de-
clared her intention to aspire to it.
The University of Havana has
opened its doors to women. Up to the
present time only three Cuban women
may boast Of degree from that in
Two are now practiclng

The strides toward personal inde-

Before the Cuban revolution the Sun

spent the entire week with the modiste

The sexes mingled so little in society
