•peak of the Valor and determination
of their opponent! in the latttle of
Manila. They lay that the Son tilth
fought bravely oven after the list
vMllge of bop« had gone and atayrd by
their goo* aa long aa they could bit
turd.
I)r. Klndleberger gives u graphic no
couutof tbe fight. Mm we* oo the
Olympia through it all. In tbe Hist
easault tbe flagship took the lead, the
other Teasels following iu her wake at
four ship-lengths. The Spualeu fleet
waa approached by laps, each turn
bringing tbe oonleatauta nearer to
gether. By this plan the American
vessels frequently poured broadside*
Into tbe enemy, but were themselves
more exposed to fire. At one time the
«moke became co dense that It was
necessary to draw aside allowing tbe
cloud to lift. The vesseli were exam
ined and it was fouod that tlwy had
sustained no damage. Break fust waa
served to tbe men aud In a few coin
ulee they re-entered the light with the
greatest enthusiasm.
Tbe second light was even more
fierce tbao the*,fiiat. It wa* In that
that the Baltimore Was stroek. Dur
ing tbe flgbt tbe Spanish admiral’s
ship pat bravely out of tbu line to
in net the Olympia. The entire Amtr
Ktaii fleet oocceotrated on her and she
was ao badly Injured that abe turned
around to put beck. At tbta juncture
tbe Olympia let fly un fl-inch abell
which struck her ateru and pleiced
through almnet her entire length, ex
ploding finally In the engine room,
wrecking her machinery. This sboli
killed tbe captain and 00 men, aud set
the veasel ou Ore. Iu tbe heat of tbe
flgbt two torpedo boats moved out to
attack tbe fleet. They were allowed
to come wiUilu 800 yards when e few
shells from the Olympia sunk them
with ell un board. Tbe second boat
eras later found turned up ou lira
beach, covered with blood.
Id the second light the Baltimore
was lent to silence the fort at Cavite.
Shs plunged Into a cloud of smoke sod
opened Are on tbe fortUloations. In a
few minutes a shell struck theammn
nitlon and the fort blew up with a
deafening report.
Tho work or the Baltimore wae glo
rious. After tbe principal ship* had
heeti destroyed the Conoord, Raleigh
and Petrel, being of light draught,
were sent In clow to handle the re
maining vessels of tbe fleet. They
made quick work uf them. In taking
poia pas ton of tbs land forts, sevsral
hundred wounded Spaniards fell into'
the 1 tends of the Ainerlcupa sud nearly
300 dead were accounted lor on tbe
spot. Holes In which numbers bed
been hastily bnried ware found. The
dead were returned to relatives; so far
as this oooUl be dooe. and tbe wounded
were cared for In the best manner pos
sible by tbe American surgeons.
The Bpauisb loss tooted up 400
allied, 000 woonded. and a property
loss ot anywhere from *0,000,000 to
110,000,000. The day of the tight was
dear and hot. Not a breath of air
was stirring.
Attar tbe drst battle the Americans
were greatly fagged by heat, and the
rest and breakfast allowed them by
the oommodore was of inestimable
benefit. When tbe men were at break
fast a conference of all officers was
hstd on board tlm Olympia, whan the
plan of tbe second battle waa made
known by the oommodore.

think, though patriotism mlgol never i

isul that it now bas. Wbeu we re

we were victorious, wc take heart and

(or why may we not be agalu, ereu
though a hundred anniversaries have
passed since tbeu? Ob, yes, anniver
saries are good things 1 hope we will
oever got too busy or too practical to
rememember them.
The people of a country become oue
great family In keeping a national an
niversary. In Ibe borne (be keeping
uf an anniversary means tbe keeping
alive uf common family Interests, and
nothing la better for family happiness
than this. 1 am sorry for tbe little
child that has no birthday. I am sorry
for the man and woman who do not
remember wedding anniversaries.
Over the big world. In time, a da
voted family may scatter, but wbeo au
anniversary day oomos round each
will think of the other particularly on
that date, and all feel certain that for
a time at Unit they are one In thought,
even though miles of land and water
stretch between them.
A woman seta a great deal of storo
by bow much or how little a man
thinks of no anniversary. Dorothy,
who has been engaged just a year, is
all In a Hatter on the 1st of June bu
esnse she Is sure Jack will remember,
and when lie comae lu tbe evening,
bring her a great, lovaly bunch of rosea
or soma dainty gift. And wban Jack
ooroea her doting little heart is all an
ticipation. XIne times out uf tan
there are no roses and no gift. She
waits a tong while tor him even to
make some remark about the date, but
he doesn't, aud then. If tbe Is s wise
little woumu, aba will remind him.
And Jsok, being a man of ilia world,
and not altogether ignorant of tbe
ways of woman, will be positively
startled, and say: "By Jovnl I’d
really not thought of It, Dorothy, hot
dear, you mustn't think I do not ap
preciate my blessings, but I’ve been so
busy,” etc. All this If Dorothy Is a
wise little woman, sod the conclusion
Is very happy. Bnt nine times out of
Ian aho Is not wise, and dost not re
mind Jack of tbe happy anniversary,
and try as she will to appear other
wise, there Is a disappointed air about
her that Jack calls to blmaelf "pre
occupied,” after he Is at homo and
thinks nbont it. And Miaa Dorothy
op in bar room shads a few tears and
la delightfully miserable thinking over
bow heartless and Indifferent the beet
of men are. for she Is not yet ready to
place her Jaok In any other list. If
aay Jack who has a Dorothy reads
this, 1 hope be will keep a notebook of
all days that are apt to fall in the hoe
of anniversaries In lime to come, fur 1
have given him a moat valuable tip.
Tun touch a terribly tender spot la a
woman’s heart when you fell to re

The general intends to take paternal

to ooncea) intentions so righteous it
is safe to aay that General Lee’s men
will be better prepared fur the Cuban
ciunpalgu than any in the army. Gen
Lee sometime ago wrote an article for
an K.astern magazine, in which ho
stated hia theories regarding armament
aud equipment of American soldiera in
Cuba. These theories be will put Into
practice at the proper time, lie will
be supported by men who liayo the ut

will be redaeedto an absolute mini

cording to General laeft, ills theories

common-sense method of curing a oold

before going to bed, and at the same

Flos, safety plus, pebbles, jackstoncs
•lo., swallowed by children i.eod occa
sion no alarm, as Uiqy will all pass
through without harming the child.
Tlx greatest danger is from the castor
oil with which tb« child usually is
dosed in such cases. It U better to
leave tbe bowels at rust aod glvagruei,
crackers, baked potatoes, milk, any
thing that will constipate the child
and malic s poltaocoas mass iu which
tba foreign Undies will be embedded
and earned through. When foreign
bodies stick iu Uio throat and tha child
is unable to swallow, it should reoclya
an emetla.
Sir llunry Thompson say tiiat “few
children lit* that part of the meal
which cun dials of moat; but prefer the
pudding, the fruit, the vegetable*, if
well dressed, which, uubappily Isn’t
often the ease. Many children mani
fest great repugnance to mast at II rat,
and are coaxed and evao scolded by
anxious mothers until the habit of eat
ing is acquired. 1 sin satisfied that if
tbe children followed tbelr own teste
in this matter, the result would be a
gain In more ways thau one. Certeiu
iv if meat Old not appear id Lbs nur
sery until the cUlldreu sent for It, it
would be rarely reeu there and the
young ones would, as a rule, thrive
better on milk and eggs, wlm Uie
varied produce of the vegetable king
dom.” *
Never allow children to go to bad
liuugrjr at night. A ollce of bleed nod
butter, n few cracker*, a glass of warn
milk and a cup of warm beef tea I*
beneficial. and conducive to netful
■leap. All physicians ecmoqr that It le
better to gu to sleep on a moderately
full atomaeli than an empty one.
For till* reason a *Hort afternoon
nap i• extremely beneficial. especially
If the heaviest meal of the day it eaten
at noon. Tills allowing the prucee* of
digestion to go ou quietly la i.atoral
and twallhy-reeling the body and re
IIrving llie brain.
Piocure fresh milk every day. boll It
and keep It onol. Don't give it to tin
child Ice cold. It must is properly
tempered.
Do not change milk, but uae that of
one cow whenrvor possible
Do not keep the milk In metal ves

ttiem perfectly clean. Home people
have ■ habit of kteping the milk In tbs
