This was done in order to close the mouth of the harbor, which had been left open by the removal of six torpedoes. All the wounded and the valuable papers and instruments were removed from the doomed ship to the steamer Mejico. The Mercedes left the harbor at 11:" o'clock on the night of July 4. She was instantly discover ed by the American fleet, which bea a terrific fire. "Nevertheless," says the author, "the ship went down at the designated place. Unfortunately a shot"from the enemy severed one of anchor chains and she swung arou-J to one side, leaving the port open and making her sacrifice a useless one However, the sinking of the Mercedes prevented her from falling Into the Lands of the enemy."

After an enforced vacation of three weeka, on account of the smallpox scare and the soro arm epidemic, tho public schools wore opened last Mon day.

Tho Gray resi dence will continue under quarantine for a lew days yet, but it is not thought that Mrs. Gray will have the disease. She has recovered from the grip and is feeling well.

Pace, while on the hill side near his home Tuesday at dusk, heard a clatter of hoofs coming down the hill and saw a horse coming his way on the run. The animal stopped as it came in contact with a strand of barb wire and turned back up the hill only to come back again on the run. This time the horso went on down the hill, taking the barb wire, which caught in Harry's trousers, tangled him up and dragged him to the bottom of the hill, where he landed in the ravine with pants in ribbons and some deep wire cuts on one leg. A PORTRAIT OF CHRIST. Physiognomy of aa Old Colu Which In Presumably Authentic. For centuries past the physiognomy of Christ has been the subject of spec ulation, and, it may be said, of hot discussion, says a Paris correspondent of the London Standard. In the early times it was considered that He would have regarded it as unworthy of Him to use the vain seductions of form to assist Him in His mission. The beauty of His doctrine was. It was urged, alone suitable for a god in the accom plishment of His mission of self-sacrifice. Others, later on, contended that the irradiation of divinity must have prevented Jesus from being ugly. The dispute has continued for centuries, and our Savior has been depicted with a dinerent physiognomy by various masters of the art. The Christ of Ve lasquez does not resemble that of Rembrandt and others, but now a new Image is forthcoming. A Frenchman named Boyer d'Agen, who, I believe, is the author of a work on Lourdes, dis covered a curious bronze medal among a number of old coins for sale in a curiosity shop in Rome. He bought it for 10 centimes because he thought he discovered on it Hebrew characters dating back from the primitive times of the Christian era. On close exami nation, it has been declared that it bears the effigy of Jesus. The portrait is a profile, with the head slightly in clined forward. The forehead is high, the nose rather long, slightly pointed at the tip; the mustaches are slightly marked, and the beard is pointed. As for the hair, it is long and curly. The physiognomy, taken as a whole, can not be called regular, but it is ex tremely fascinating. On returning to Paris with his purchase, M. Boyer d'Agen showed the medal to numerous numismatists, who pronounced it to be at least of the greatest antiquity, though, of course, it would have been too much to expect they should guar antee its authenticity. The Hebrew in scription it bears on the reverse, trans lated into English, la "The Messiah, the King, will come in peace. He is the light of men, incarnate and liv ing." Replicas of this medal, in bronze and silver, are being struck. lOO Reward SIOO.

Some time ago he offered to make a bet that he could recite the whole of Daunfs "Di vine Comedy" by heart. His ability to do this was doubted, and his wager was taken up. A select audience was invited to hear the'professor, who de claimed from 8 o'clock in the evening until 2 o'clock the next afternoon. The reciter stopped occasionally, but it was not because he had forgotten the poem, it was simply to moisten his tongue with sugared water. He won his wager, for the audience had to confess that he got through the 15.000 -verses, more or less, of which the poem is composed, without the least difficulty. Li Grippe is again epidemic.

Ex Consul or tho United States O. F. Wil liams is in receipt of an application from a member of the insurgent con gress at Malolos fr a pass through the American lines for a family of twelve persons, who are desirous of taking refuge in Manila. This is regarded as significant as showing the most intelligent rebels realize that their families are safe only within American territory. With the exception of a fow shots fired into a small body of rebels, who were attempting to destroy a railroad bridge near Caloocan, all has been quiet along the line. Last night the heat affected the men in the open country to some ex tent, but otherwise the health of the troops showed a marked improvement since the beginning of hostilities. American Not Advancing. Manila. Feb. 1G. 11:20 a. m. Since the American line9 reached the natural defenses of Manila they have made no further advance, and tho troops are now encamped along the line. Many places have been tempor arily entrenched. Occasional brushes with small bodies of the enemy by scouting parties have been the only cause for excitement. Troops iv and L of the Fourth cavalry em ountered the enemy's scouts yesterday near Paranaque and exchanged a fow vol leys with them. During the firing Trooper Willner of Troop K was wounded in the right arm. The cruiser buffalo fired four small shells at a partv of tho enemv which the cruiser's searchlight showed to be mounting a battery near Paranaque last hight. The enemy made no reply and withdrew their guns to Paranaque. The steamers Brutus and Komulus have arrived from Iloilo, but brought no iater news, except that the Ameri cans are clearing vessels thence, as suming control of the port. The rebels had all the records burned be fore vacating the town, It is rumored that the Filipinos in the interior are in sore 6traits and are now quarreling amoDg themselves, but it is impossible to confirm those reports, as all com munication is cut off.

A large body of the enemy, presumably reconnoitering, was discovered on the right of Brigadier General King's position, ne ir San Pedro Macati, this morning.

Towards the end of the year 1897 the British torpedo-boat Thrasher, with its mates Lynx and Sunfish, left St. Ives on a passage to Falmouth. On the way the Thrasher grounded on a point, causing serious injury to the boilers and the bursting of the main feed-pipe. The burst pipe instantly filled the stokehold wiih scalding steam. In it were two stokers, Ed ward Lynch and James Paul. All the rest of the boat's company were land ed on the rocks, but the doubling up of the deck had prevented the egress of the stokers by the starboard hatch way. There was still a port hatch way, which was partially closed, and towards this the two men made their way, Lynch in the lead. Directly un der the hatchway and discharging through it, was the break In the steam pipe. Lynch rush through It safely, and turned to help his mate Paul. But an. Instant convinced him thtft Paul was unable to follow. Then Lynch lay down on the deck with his head and face In the escaping steam, seized hold of the sinking Paul, and by a remarkable exercise of force and tenacity drew him up on the deck. Lynch then rose to his feet, but it was observed that he was badly scald ed about the head, arms and upper part of the body. The surgeon began to apply oil and wool to his burns, but he repelled the attention. "I'm all right," he exclaimed; "look after my chum! He's very bad!" He had said nothing about the way he had rescued Paul, but his manly conduct led the surgeon to investigate, and it was as certained that. In order to rescue his comrade, he had plunged the whole upper part of his body into what was practically a boiling cauldron. More than this, it appeared that Lynch had previously sacrificed his own chance of escaping from the stokehold the other way in order to stay with Paul. In recognition of this act of selfsac- rifice and bravery. Lynch was pre sented with the Albert Medal of the first class, which is given primarily for gallantry in saving or attempting to save life at sea. and in some cases, for similar acts ashore. Frequently accidents occur in the household, which cause burns, cuts, sprains aud bruises. For use in euch cases Ballard's Snow Liniment has for many years been the constant favorite family remedy.

Despite the growing difficulty of finding space for the interment of pub lic men within the walls of West minster, at least one noble family still enjoys a prescriptive right of burial there. These are the Dukes of North umberland, who have the exclusive use of a spacious vault in the Chapel of St. Nicholas. This vault, which was the last resting place of the Seymours, was opened as recently as 1883 to receive the remains of Lady Louise Percy, the elder sister of the present duke. SEES VIRTUE IN A PIPE. One Wife Knows Her Iluaband Takes Comfort Oat of Tobacco. Even thourh window curtains and other draperies do become Impregnat ed with tobacco smoke, it Is In many cases very unwise in wives to object to their husbands using tobacco In the house. No woman can fully realize the unspeakable amount of comfort a man extracts from a pipe or a cigar after a hard day's work, followed by a good dinner. An English feminine writer has seen a gTeat light in this matter and is distinctly In favor of smoking for her husband. To thia woman home would not be home with out the man who smokes, without the odor of tobacco, and she gives reasons why she likes to see her husband smoke. He is not one of those men who never have a pipe out of their mouth, but a nice, sensible, temperate fellow, who, when business is over, settles into an easy chair, fills his pipe, lights it and unfolds his evening pa per. "Then, to my fancy, a man is at his best," she declares, "for while I work he reads aloud the choice parts of the news which he thinks will In terest me. Should he have encountered more than an ordinary share of diffi culties or trouble he forgets them all after he has finished a nicely cooked and carefully served dinner, and is ready for his pipe." What a Prominent Kentucklan Says. W. L. Yaney, Paducah, writes: "I had a severe ease of kidney disease and three of the best physicians of southern Kentucky treated me with out success. I was induced to try Foley's Kidney Cure. The first bottle gave immediate relief and three bot tles cured me permanently. I gladly recommend this wonderful remody." F. G. Fricke & Co.

James Murray of Kil malcolm, Renfrewshire, mentions that "amid the enjoyments of the people we must not fail to notice funerals," and he calls attention to a curious custom which was prevalent in con nection with them. It appears a sieve containing clay pipes, filled with tobacco, was handed round just before the cortege started. Then the mourn ers smoked, and when the kirkyard was reached, as the grave was being filled, each stepped solemnly forward and cast his pipe "amang the mools." Notes and Queries. Relief In Six Boars.

By attaching it to the wheels of any vehicle friction is re duced to its lowest possible limit. To the amazement of the spectator an or dinary horse easily drew a wagon loaded with two and a half tons of goods. The mechanism of this device was kept a secret, the wheels being covered with a wooden framework. This precaution on the part of the in ventor, it was explained, was because he had just applied for a patent and did not wish his invention made pub lic until it had been protected by the patent.

From the London Daily News: An amusing incident has occurred at Trieste. A peasant presented a parcel for dispatch to an official In the cen tral poHtoflice of that town, and was roughly told It could not be received, as It was Improperly done up. The peasant inquired how it ought to be done up. and the official sharply re plied that it was not his business to tell him. Here a gentleman inter vened on the peasant's behalf, but was told by the official that If he had any fault to find he had better complain to the superintendent. The gentleman did so. but was told that postal offi cials could not be expected to teach the public, and that if he was not sat isfied he had better complain to the director. The gentleman hereupon pulled out a card and said: 'T have no time to go to the director. I re quest you to go to him yourself and tell him that I order him to come here instantly and himself instruct this man how to make up this parcel." The superintendent looked at the card and trembled when he read the name of the archduke Louis Salvator. The director lost no time in coming. He stormed at the superintendent, who in turn stormed at the official, and all three nearly fell over each other in their zeal to show the peasant how to do up his parcel. A more carefully made up package probably never passed through the Austrian postoffice. The incident, however, has excited a grave question. All the newspapers approve of the archduke's interven tion, but some pertinently ask whether he had any right to "order" the di rector to do anything. The champions of the constitution are exercised, but after all the important thing is that the peasant got his parcel off. Does Coffee Agree With You? If not, drink Grain-O made from cure grains.
