The officer who commanded the French
marines on her, stated to the English prize
lieutenant that every man of his detach-
ment had been killed or wounded; that he
had served in the army for thirty years,
and had been present on the bloody field
of Fontenoy, but he had never witnessed
such scene of carnage. In fact, all that
the surgeons could do in capital opera
tons for hours during and after the bat
tie had been to ..amputate, smooth
stumps, and apply tourniauets."

so much Of the finished horror OF warfare
as on this unlucky vessel. The 1900 men

In one Of the cabins Of LIE formidable

badly wounded by the splinter Ca piece
of timber: six feet long) which had hurled
him to the deck of the Torbay just as she
went on the rocks. The moment in which
he had been thrown overheard would have
been his last had it not been for the heroic
devotion Of old Slocum..
Seeing the helpless condition OF his
commander he had plunged into the water
after him, and with superhurnan strength
skill. and courage had supported him until
he had been able to lay hold Of one of
the floating spars of the Torbay. Slocum
had dashed Grafton to the spar and had
chung desperately to 1t himself during half
the night After being tossed about in
q sickening way for hours, the piece OF
timber, with its two exhausted occupants
had been washed athwart LIE Formid-

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 5.--A. n. McGindley,
spiritualist lawyer and student Of occult
philosophy, believes the time is approach
ing when the inhabitants of the material
and spiritual world will establish cons
munication and hold conversations as In
teligible and satisfactory as may now sbe
held over the telephone. !.
ct is difficult to get an expression OF a
belief thus advanced into the public
press" said Judge McGindley, lowing to
the bigotry which prevails 50 largely in
church organizations. 1t is only within
the last forty years that a person could
express the conviction Of spirit return
without having his mental soundness
questioned. -
'"rhe spirit world spreads all about us,
and science will open communication with
our irlna terial brothers before many
years have elapsed. I am Of the opinion
that within five or six years the com
munication will be as easy and intelllgible
as conversatio over the telephone. Mar
coni's discovery Of wireless biography is
long stride in that direction, believe
and it would not surprise me II through
it the communication Is to be opened"

How a Mexican Wheat Ring Is
Dealt a Blow Between
s ... F the Eyes.

Mexico City, Jan. 5.-The recent ad-
vance In the price Of wheat caused bakers
here to diminish the size Of loaves while
still charging the same price. This has
worked a hardship on the poorer classes.
i The government is determined that the
wheat ring, which has been monopolizing
the grain market. shall be dealt severe
blow. tRds nnft
Z! For, this purpose the recent decree, TAX
ing off the duties on wheat, was issued
and the railroads have reduced rates from

The city government proposes to estab-
-lish municipal bakeries and sell bread at
cost to the poor. The policy Of the gov
eminent Is to break up all monopolies that
increase the cost of living to the masses.

the antique. Tn dress 1t is called a feeling for the quaint or .'pictur- esque."
 Although the full skirts, full sleeves and loose boleros give the idea of un- tidy foppiness nothing is further from the aim and being Of fashion as prop erly understood. Skirts, however full, must be most carefully fitted round the hips, the upper part of the shoulders and chest must be free from fussy de- tails which interfere with the outlines, and the waist must be trim and neat.
 This idea of trim smartness is more generally realized in the sporting, out Ing, and utility frocks, such as the old, and now new, favorites in linen and crash.
 Simple as it is, the. model of the first cut has a distinct chic. Both the coat and the skirt are in natural colored crash, and the linen piping may be of any color preferred: In very pretty taste, too, is the fecked canvas frock of the second cut, which is trimmed with lace insertion.
 Washing gowns are also being clev- erly made up to depend for ornament mostly upon the lace shoulder cape col lars, so easily transferable from one gown to another, fact which renders them most desirable.
 Many a so called washing gown is just a charming bit of deception. As likely as not it will no more wash than b satin will turn.
 The mercerized washing stuffs are lovely, and their name is legion AMY VARNUM.

Mrs. Bowser shook her head and sighed.
 "Only $75. It was a forced sale, you see. The widow had to have the ready cash at once, and there was no time to bargain. Should I desire to sedl it, I can make $926 as easy as turning my hand over. Think of the historic mem- ories surrounding it!'
 "Yes, 1t might do for a wood box for the kitchen"
 There you go!" shouted MT. Bowser as he flushed up. You've got about as much sentiment as an old speckled hen, and ought to have known what to expect of you. I suppose you will find fault with that blue platter, and yet it once belonged to Queen Elizabeth. The Royal museum of London once offered $500 for 1t and would give more today. paid only $25 for it, as the widows gas bill came in while we were talking, and she had to have the cash on the spot"
 If you had waited till her butchers bill came in you might have got the platter for nickel,'' observed Mrs. Bowser.
 'tMore sarcasm, more filings. Wom- an, you do take a positive delight in splitting out mean things, and if ], wasn't above quarreling I'd give you your fill. You have no interest in these things, of course, but I'll show you the last of my bargains. This portable writing desk is over 5000 years old"
 Tt looks to be over 6,O0O."
 Ut belonged to the queen of Persia, and it's value is at least $1,O00. got it for $2O, as the widow didn't under stand what she was selling"
 ''She thought she was selling you a pig poke, didn't she?"
 Madam, are you aware who you are talking to?"
 q am. I'm talking to man who has paid out a couple of hundred dol lars for lot of old rubbish not worth 20 cents. MT. Bowser, how could you be so foolish? You've been worked for an easy mark againY'
 "Stop right there! That will do!' he exclaimed as he pointed his finger. 'AThe easy mark requests that you withdraw your presence to some other part of the house, and don't you dare to set your eyes on one of these an tques again"
 l Mrs. Bowser withdrew, and Mir. Bow ser shut the parlor door and stalked up and down with his hands under his coat tails. After about five minutes of nursing his wounded dignity dim suspicion crept into his brain. Tn a quarter of an hour he began to doubt if John Hancock was ever rocked in that cradle, and at the end of half an hour Mrs. Bowser, the cook, the cat and the neighbors heard smashes and crashes to make their hair stand up.
 "What-what Is ity' gasped Mrs. Bowser as she flung open the parlor door,
 The question was needless. Mir. Bow ser was attacking those antiques with l fury in his soul, and she arrived just 1 in time to see the cradle of liberty and Martha Washington's favorite chair fly into splinters the length of the room. When there was nothing more to smash and he had jumped on the fragments the easy mark turned to her and bowed and said:
