situation became about as desper-
ate as can be readily imagined.
Food and water had both run
short; 1t was impossible to get
more supplies; all hands, including
De Mello himself, were reduced to
walking skeletons, and meanwhile the
batteries at the harbor mouth had
been powerfully reinforced. In this
plight Piexotto supposed he would be
only too glad to surrender, and sent
demand to that effect. You are bot
tied up he said in substance; you
can't get out, and you can't make a
landing. It's a case of surrender or
starve.' De Mello sent back word that
they would starve. In the next couple
OF weeks men did die on the Aquida-.
ban Of actual starvation Then De
Mello decided to end it all in grand
coup de theater, and one night he
started at full speed for the harbor
mouth. Concealment was out of the.
question, and the battleship made its
dash with lights blazing, flags flying,
and Dand playing. I met the admiral
afterward in Caracas, and he told me
they had no expectation whatever Of
getting through, but their sheer audac-
lty SO disconnected the gunners at the
forts that they failed to land a single.

A Swimming Wig.

The girl who means to summer by
the sea this year will have to provide
herself with q bathing wig" If she

the store windows, and fashion DEGREES
that they shall replace the oiled silk
caps and red handkerchiefs heretofore
worn by the summer girl when taking
her morning dip in the sea. The silk
caps have been objected to as giving
the fair one a "baldheaded' appear

Angora goats hair, which is devised to
protect the human hair and at the

pearance. Short. fluffy and curly, these
wigs are a vast Improvement on last

TRAMPS FORCED TO WORK
Nebraska Farmers Impress Them to
Aid In Wheat Harvest.

New wheat is moving in Nebraska
In great quantities. Box cars are in
great demand. The cereal is being
thrashed as rapidly as weather condi-
tons will permit. and the grain is I'M
usually firm and large.
The greatest difficulty is being expe-
rienced in securing men to handle the
crop, says an Omaha dispatch to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. The movement
of tramps across Nebraska and Kan
sas at present has ceased because
many have been hauled from cars
along the different lines by farmers
and trainmen and impressed into serv-
ice.
This is no joke, as large crowd OF
tramps at Orleans. Neb., discovered the
other day. Thirty were rounded up by
farmers armed with pitchforks at the
water tank near that town just after
Sabbath meeting and were marched
into the country. They We're parceled
out among the farmers and told that
they would get 50 a day and food if
they worked their best, and if they did
not they would be taken to town and
confined IN Jail or on the rock pile as
Migrants. As a rule this persuasion
was sufficient, and the tramps went
to work with yigor.

An Aerial Torpedo.

An aerial torpedo has been invented
by Major w. T. Unge of the Swedish
army. and trials are to be made with
it by the Swedish government says the
Boston Journal of Commerce. The tor
pedo propels itself through the air by
the action of gas produced in It's in
terror by a slow burning powder. The
torpedoes thus far have made range
of 1000 to 5000 yards and carry five
or six pounds of explosive, which is
set off when the torpedo strikes. The
torpedo is discharged from light tube.
and as there Is no shock attending the
discharge, almost any explosive can
be carried.

LATEST SUMNER DRINK.
The FIorodora. Inspired by Chorus
Girl.

Here Is the recipe for the latest sum-
mer drink, the Florodora, inspired by a
chorus girl:
Put three or four dashes of raspberry
strip In the bottom of an ordinary glass,
squeeze In the juice Of whole lime,
add just enough Plymouth gin to catch
the taste and half fill the glass With
finely cracked Ice.
Then pour In the best ginger ale until
the glass is brimming. Vibrate the
mixture with long bar spoon until it
is ice cold and turn 1t into cold stein.
Float a slice of orange and pitted
cherry on top. put the stein to your lips,
shut your eyes and take an express
transport TO elysium.

tale of the way 1t was invented. A par

MAcARoNt FROM OUR WHEAT
Consul Hayden Suggests n Plan to
Open a Market In Italy.


The department Of state at Washing
ton has received from Consul Hayden
at CasteIlamare di Stabia, In Italy. a
report on the use of American wheat
for Italian macaroni. saying:
.After efforts covering a period OF
over two years | have succeeded in
demonstrating the fact that the very
finest quality OF macaroni can be made
OF American wheat. This has been de-
clared an impossibility by those en-
gagged In its manufacture here, and
there are hundreds of establishments In
this district. Up to the present time
Russian wheat and wheat from the ORR
ent have been used, together with ltal-
Ian wheat, for the production Of this
article of food, the American wheat be-
Ing considered too soft. Through the
cooperation Of one of the largest estab-
lishments in this district 1t has been
found that this conclusion was based
upon the proverbial conservatism of the
people When 1t Is remembered that
macaroni consists of wheat to the ex-
tent of GO per cent. it will be readily
seen that here IS an opening for Ameri-
can wheat of no ineonsiderable impor-
lance.
1T has been suggested to me that If
the United States government would
admit free of duty or at least at low
er tax than the present tariff macaroni
made from American wheat a market
for our wheat would be opened in COM
petition with that of Russia and the
east. The present tariff on 1000 pounds
of macaroni is $15, or IL cents per
pound. Under the plan proposed go per
cent of the said 1000 pounds would en-
ter free, leaving 40 per cent to be taxed
at the present rate of ~ cents per
pound. making on the 1000 pounds a
tax Of Sc instead of SIS. 1t should be
remembered in this connection that
Italian manufacturers of macaroni I'M
der the scheme proposed would have to
pay freight from the United States to
Italy and also pay freight on the same
wheat manufactured into macaroni and
transported to the United States"
