them" Then they came to a vale,
where they found plenty of cattle, and
their period of starvation came to an
end with a monstrous feast Cutting
the flesh into convenient pieces or
gobbets. they threw them into the fire
and, half carbonaded or roasted, they
devoured them, with incredible haste
and appetite; such was their hunger,
as they more resembled cannibals than
Europeans; the blood many times run

That evening the pirate band came
in sight of Panama, and pitched their
camp, which was Intellectually bonn
barded all night by the guns of the
city Next day Captain Morgan led his
thousand bold men down the hillside
and confronted the forces of the gov
ernor of Panama, consisting OF two
squadrons of horse, four regiments of
foot and huge number Of wild bulls
driven by Indians. The Spaniards be-
gan the battle, but their horse were
useless, owing to the softnesS of the
ground. The foot were held in check
by the fire of the pirates, so the wild
bulls were driven forward but, fright
ened by the noise of the conflict, the
animals ran away. After two hours
of fighting the surviving Spaniards
fled within the city walls Six hun
dred of their comrades lay dead upon
the field. Morgan at once attacked

the city, and though the defense was
desperate many of the pirates being
killed, Panama fell within three hours.
What Morgan did to the devoted in
habitants in the effort to find all their
hidden treasure is too horrible to re-
late. Soon after the capture of the
city fire broke out in many quarters,
and Esquemeling says the confagra-
ton was started by Morgan, though
he laid the blame on the Spaniards.
Anyway, as the houses were almost
all built of cedar, the entire city was
soon consumed by flames. Some three
weeks later Captain Morgan departed
from Panama, or rather from the place
where the city of Panama stood; of
the spoils whereof he carried away
with him 175 beasts of carriage laden
with silver, gold and other precious
things. besides about six hundred pris-
oners, men, women, children and
slaves"
OF old Panama naught remains but
the ruins of the cathedral, the tower
of ST Stanislaus' church and the frag-
ments of few other stene and brick
structures. For more than two CEN
turies they have been buried in the
jungle, but are now being brought to
view by the efforts of the Panama
government, which Is having the un.
dergrowth cleared away from the
ruins.
The visitor to the isthmus should
not fail to make the trip down the
Chagres from Gatun to the sea, re-
versing Morgan's route. The scenery
along the river is beautiful, and the
great stretch Of ocean beach-clean,
hard, green and purple sand over
which immense breakers rolls
ideal for bathing.
The massive walls of Fort San Lor-
EMO still stand on the hill at the
mouth of the Chagres, and the heaps
Of cannon balls left by the Spaniards
are yet there. In the dungeons OF
the castle are piles Of rusted irons
the fetters which they hoped to fasten
on the bodies and limbs of Morgan
and his buccaneers.

DEFECTS OF THE LIPS
BEAUTY MARS THAT MUST BE
CURED WITHOUT DELAY.
Bad Habits Have Permanent Results
and Effectual and Absolute Rem
edy Must Be Sought For and
Applied at Once.

1t is the curve of the lips and the
caliber of them rather than the mouth
itself that indicates character and hab-
its, and they are such important fea-
lures in beauty making and so sus-
ceptible TO being moulded that they
should be carefully studied, with a
view to eliminating or minimizing any
defects.
Perhaps an otherwise beautiful
mouth takes on a scorniul twist at
one corner, or it is thicker at one side
than at the other. and then only by dill
igently practising before mirror
can the defect be remedied. Press the
offending side down into place, and
form the habit of keeping it there. At
first it will be difficult, but persist. 1t
might even be advisable to bite the lip
at that side, or at least to train into
the bad habit of compressing the lips,
in order to accomplish what is desired
but then must speedily begin the cor
rection of that habit Lips that are
TOO thick betoken coarseness and are
not generally attractive. In some
cases they may be made to appear
thinner by elongating the line from
the nose down. This is done by draw
ing the outsides together-that is, by
drawing the lower one up and the up
per down, and sort of folding them in
literally drawing the outside edges
" them together, as already suggest

be done without COMPRISING the lips,
which is a distressing habit, showing

to mar the beauty of any face. Purs-

If this habit is formed there will be
also the satisfaction of knowing that
at least one or two of the lines at the
corners of the mouth are gradually
growing fainter. The progress might
be helped on by gentle rotary massage

MAKES DAINTY CHAIR COVER
Pretty and Exceedingly Useful Arti-
Gle Requires but a Short Time
to Fashion.

There seems to be revival in the
fashion of what in the old days was
called the antimacassar, and a dainty
cover of this kind for the back of an
arm chair makes very pretty addi-
tion to it and serves the purpose of
protecting that portion of the chair
which usually needs it most, and in
the case Of an old chair it hides that
part which has probably become most
shabby
We give therefore a sketch of a
very dainty cover carried out in rib
bon and lace, and it is also one that

the wall by the side of the dressing

An old idea, and one still largely De-
iieved is, that after bees have con-
centrated in large numbers to secure
any sweet that may have been ex-
posed, or when a Queenless colony mas
been overcome and cleaned out, the
whole mass then, il nothing better Of
fers, throw themselves upon some col
ony, which even if a strong one, may
not be able to repel them
This is entirely erroneous, and 1t Is
well that it is, for if they did make
a determined attack en- masse, halt
or more of the colonies in yard
might be destroyed in a short time.
What they really do when whatever
they have been at work on is about
gone is to scatter or divide up and
look for more.
Single bees, and in few cases
have seen about a dozen, attempt at
nearly the same time to enter some
hive with an unusually large entrance
or one which did not seem to be we'll
guarded as the others.
But if they get in at all, they are
soon dragged out again. Meanwhile
the entire yard may seem to be get
ting in an uproar; great masses of
bees may cluster on the top and
around the sides OF the hives that are
TERED up in some colonies.
A great number of bees may be
seen flying in and out Of the hives
which seem so strongly attacked,
and many a novice might think the
matter beyond his control, and imag-
inc ruin staring him in the face.
l have seen old, experienced bee
throw water on these hives on which
the robbers were clustered in a fren-
zied attack, but if q close observation
is made it will be seen that these ap-
parently frenzied bees take good care
to keep out of the entrance
If one more venturesome than the
others does get in, it is roughly
handled. The bees flying In and out
so lively are the bees that belong to
the hive, and they are ready to fight
to the death If necessary to defend
their stores.
A colony of average strength. if in
normal condition. will, before sue
cumbing to robbers, make such fight

with no harm done.
The first thing to be done by way Of
preventing the robbing is to take ev-
cry precaution against the possibility
of robbing occurring.
Hive entrances to weak colonies are
often left open full width until the
robbing is started, when they are shut
so closely that the colony seeks to es-
cape from their Imprisonment rather
than protect their stores.

No matter how we may safeguard
