1t was a beautiful day, and / took a
few parting shots with the camera at the
city. the shipping and Corregidor, as we
passed in sight of the Hooker, wrecked
there last year in reckless attempt to
pass out through the middle channel; also

Our steamer, one of the best of the
score or more owned by the Campanla
Martina, was a vessel of 600 tons bur-
den, with an average speed of six knots
per hour, but with the "Pepita' IN tow
not making above five. As We passed out
of the bay. with several sail in sight to
the north, the high shores of Zambales,
Corregidor and Cavite, decked in bright
foliage, and the light waves sparkling in
the sun. we had reason to anticipate 4
pleaSurable trip.
PERILs OF THE VOYAGE.
September is the month of typhoons,
and Old Boreas did not forget us. We
passed the numerous islands which skirt
the west coast of Luzon in quite peace
full sea, which remained comparatively so
until the following day. The wind, which
was northwest, assisted as the lorcha
made sail When between Mindoro and
Marinduque, the wind suddenly shifted
from northwest to northeast, the barOme-
ter fell several points and driving rain
began to fall. The force of the wind.
rain and waves increased as night came
on, and when the bunk-shaken passen-
gers made the deck the next morning we
found that the Venus had been steaming
northward all night in the direction of
the storm. Several large vessels have
been lost in these waters recently, includ-
ing the "Spinaway" and ''Fatima Maru,"
and the Captain of the Venus was not
inclined to take any risks. The first en-
gineer informed me that the usual way of
encountering q typhoon was TO put down
both anchors and steam full speed directly
into it; but in this case the tow acted as
a stay.
The worst part Of the storm was yet to
come, though there was temporary lull,
during which the steamer turned to her
course and shortly after noon we entered
a small bay. which the ships officers
called "Porta Gallera," or Cockpit" on
the northernmOst coast of Masbate. The
shores displayed some interesting scenery,
native village, "Aroray," is located on
the north side. Here we released both
tow-lines from the lorcha and anchored.
A brigantine, the "Cazidor," was lying
there, and despite the rough waters its
CAPTAIN and a boats crew came aboard
our vessel for something which they took
away in bottle.

The Secrets Of Health !;
Or, How Not to Be Sick, and
How to Get Well.
BY DR.. s. q. PLATT.
512 Pages; Profusely Illustrated.

This work is wonder as n compen-
dunn Of existing knowledge concerning the
physical phases of human life. 1t is a
condensation of all that is known up to
the present day concerning the various
organs of the human body and their func-
tons, together with conditions of health
and sickness. 1t is divided into chapters
Or parts for convenience, each section
treating of a general topic.
The body is taken up and examined
part by part as a living machine; all
The operations of its mechanism are set
forth in simple, everyday language that
nay be understood by anyone. The sub
.ect of diet, what, how much, and when
o eat is discussed exclusively; the use
nd misuse of various kinds of foods; the
nutritious value of various meat, cereal
nd vegetable foods; the effect of stimu-
iants, tobacco, drinks and narcotics.
There is a separate chapter upon food
preparation, with full instructions for
preparing different dishes, not only those
IN common use, but such as are required
by sick people and infants. There is a
part upon special Treatments, covering the
entire field from faith cure to allopathy,
including Christian science, homeopathy,
magnetism, water-cure, etc., etc.
There is an exhaustiveichapter upon the
care of the sick, with hints on nursing,
the preparation and care5of the sick-rOom,
and treatment of patients afflicted with all
sorts of maladies, and directions concern
ing the application of remedies to particu-
lar methods and special diets are ex-
planned, and finally the most approved
manner for treating the principal and
most common ailments, together with the
symptoms by which they may be recog-
niZed.
The work is one of priceless value, and
until this edition was issued never before
sold for less than $1.5O.

have tho same fascination which attend
the exploits of freebOOters. the daring OF
navigators in unknown seas and the do
ings of hunters in untrodden wilds.
Such a narrative is the one told by the
Boy Spy in Dixie. 1t is a relation OF
stirring episodes among enemies, in the
face of the gibbet. The author, while
n mere youth, was sent by the great War
Secretary into the heart of the Confed-
eracy.
Here in the midst of constant peril he
watched the doinGs of jeff Davis and his
Cabinet and the Confederate Congress,
and by means of Il correspondence in cy-
pher sent forward day by day to the Gov
eminent at Washington the reports of his
observations. His experiences were va
ried and trying. At times he was III the
confidence of those high in authority in
the Confederacy, and again an object OF
suspicion. Finally, by stress of circum-
stances, he was compelled to enlist and
become n Confederate artilleryman; and,
being ordered with the command, deserted,
finding his way once more to the prOtec-
ton of the Union flag. No sooner had he
reported at Washington, however, than
he was again sent on perilOus eXpedI-
ton within the Confederate lines. Every
day added to his jeopardy. He was not
only Union spy, but rebel deserter.
Having escaped all these desperate
chances and saved his neck, the Boy
Spy now, n generation after the scenes
have past. gives to us a thrilling story
rich with detail, wherein he tells what he
saw and how he escaped the fate which
he dared day after day.

Their experiences form those of the raw
recruit, and in the course of time the sea-
soned veteran.
They encounter the dangers of the bat
tlefield and the WEAKNESS of the tiresome
march and suffer Imprisonment. Under
all these circumstances these boys do their
part manfully, having their ups and downs,
their hard times and their good times,
with a succession of comical blunders,
brilliant achievements and stirring adven-
lures which make up the panorama of Il
soldiers daily life.
Many other characters are introduced
Among them may be mentioned little Pete

Sword Presentation.

Captain B. B. Coombs, of Company
G, National Guards, was the recipient of
a very handsome, gold amounted sword
at the Armory Monday evening. The
members of the company had sent to
Cincinnati for the sword and so vel
had the secret been kept that Captain
Coombs was taken completely by sur
prise when Lieut.. Frank Liggett made
the presentation in few we'll chosen
words. Capt. Coombs was only able tc
respond by a simple "Thank you" blu,
all the boys recognized that the gift was
fully appreciated. There were torty-two
members of the company present and
afterwards an exhibition drill was giyer
on Second street in which they showed
much proficiency in movement and the
handling of arms.
