Child Mortality in the West Indies. In the West Indies infantile mortality is very heavy. As soon as the children of the peasant can toddle about thoy are allowed to eat whatever they pick up. As a natural result more than half of them die in many of tlie islands before they are a year old. The different worlds of the solar family are at different stages of their evolution. If the tnoon is a waif of the past Jupiter is a world of the future. ??ii i ???a Lost Hair "My hair came out by the hand- I ful. and the erav hairs besan to | creep in.

When diamonds wore first discovered In South Africa the rush of prospectors was, of course, tremendous, and a certain guileless old lady who lived on a farm near Klmberly determined to turn the golden opportunity to her own advantage. Hearing that a party of prospectors were in the neighborhood, she sent a polite invitation to them to "fossick" for diamonds on her property. In due course they came, and prodded and prospected the whole day. Towards evening the dear old lay hobbled out. "Have you found any?" she asked. "That we have," said a delighted prospector; "five, old lady?five little beauties!" "Five?" was the surprised reply. "Look again, there should be eight!" But, somehow, that remark seemed to damp the ardor of the prospectors. And the old lady did not sell her farm that time. When a girl finally marries the man of her choice there are generally a lot of others to whom she awards "honorable mention." f 1 ^ ^ r^n letter iuiiuwi>, dm position who owes hei Lydia E.

The attempts of Sir Thomas Liptile mug" are fa milar to every . merican who takes an aterest in sports, especially in yachtng. It seems almost incredible that o much money, what would be more hau an ample fortune even in these lays of huge accumulations of wealth, hould be spent with no other object hau to secure a silver cup of little intrinsic value. /A few fig- ? ires concerning the cost / f the pastime in which ? I !ir Thomas is indulging IgffcmL V ^ o freely should be of in- ? erest to lovers of thor- 7 ugh sportmanship: I He estimated the ex- j|M^>7 iense of his effort to get JETyy he cup in 1899 at $800.- TJWf ' y ' 00. That, however, in luded $400,000 which he aid to Count Florio, of ^ taly, for tlie line j-achtWM- FIFE' DE" rhich the Count called 8iaNEHhe Aegusa, and which is now known s the Erin. This would leave his acual racing expenses in 1899 at $400,00. It is probable that the cost of the econd races to him was a little over hat figure, but still within $C>00.000. n other words, including the sum of 500.000 or thereabouts for the purchase and refitting of the Erin, the total cost J \ to ^ie challenger in ? e&m the last two series of h 'V .if races was somewhere i in the neighborhood of JJJBSH $1,300,000. But the cost of the Erin is not, C of course, a legitimate 7 factor in the estimate \ \f / of tIie actua' racing v^\f J / expenses. Probably ' these last for both seCArT. wbinoe. ries were SS50.000.

THE BARRY RAMS THE DECATUR I The Finest Array of A:nsr!ean Warships Pass Before the President While Cannon Kaar Salutes?A MagniGccnt Naval Spectacle Off Oyster Bay?Ideal Weather For the Ceremonies. Oyster Bay. N. Y.?President Roosevelt took a hand in the naval games, assisted by Secretary Moody. Admiral Dewey and a distinguished party of guests. He reviewed the warships in the Sound from the deck of the Mayflower. Sim, breeze and waves were all propitious, and every man aboard the nineteen irreat flcrhtincr machines seemed to be on bis mettle. The maneuvers took pleace nearly midway in the Sound off Centre Island, which lies at the entrance of Oyster Bay. The only event that marred the perfect day was a collision between the torpedo boat destroyers Barry and Decr.tur. At 4.45, almost at the close of the maneuvers, the live black craft were the only remaining ships of the fleet. Their "'stunt" was reserved until the last, and was to be an exhibition of speed and daring. They were to dash past the reviewing boats in a "flying wedge." after first passing the Mayflower under half steam. They carried out the first part of the program successfully, and were turning to come back under top steam when the Barry and Decatur were seen to come together. The Barry's bow had rammed the Decatur three-quarters Of the distance from the stern. As the hulls crashed a groan went up from the President's party, and the | next moment, as the Decatur staggered and dipped, the cry, "She is sinking!" was repeated from mouth to mouth. "Man the boats!" came the order from the executive officer, and in less time than it takes to tell it the white garbed jackies were swarming into the boats swung from the davits. In a few minutes the disabled boats came alongside the Mayflower. "No damage doue!" shouted the captain of the Decatur through the megaphone. "The Barry ran into us and made a dent in our side that will necessitate repairs, that's all. Shall I take her to U-ic jDiuuxvij Li iaiu; Tlie Barry's injuries consisted of a somewhat crumpled bow. Neither one of the boats in collision suffered enough to cripple either her mobility or fighting powers. Shortly before 8.30 o'clock President Roosevelt went on board the Mayflower. Sir Thomas Lipton followed the President over the side. Admiral Dewey and others invited by the President to visit the maneuvers soon appeared, and orders were given to proceed to the reviewing ground. As soon as the Mayflower took her station the day's business opened up with booming cannon and dipping flags. Every one of the nineteen de-j. c a iu. t~I l siroyers ureu iue rresiuu-uuui suiuic of twenty-one guns when the Executive appeared to make bis formal call, and fired it again when he left.

After muster the men to man the rail were sent to their stations. The.v laid iu until the Mayflower anchored. It was just 9.25 a. m. when the first gun on the Kearsarge answered the Mayflower's approach. After the Mayflower anchored the flag officers and commanding officers called upon the President, and later the President returned their visits. On the final return of the Mayflower to her anchorage an order was given to lay in. TYte anchor gear having already been thrown off. all boats were secured for sea, fenders were taken off the gangways and the final review was begun. About 11.00 o'clock the Mayflowei started eastward, followed by the fleet, in single column. When the Mayflower stopped the vessels parsed her in single file. t'\e battleships leading, the cruisers next, and the torpedo boat flotilla bringing up +he rear.

Then the Mayflower started at full speed toward the bay again and the review was over. President Roosevelt had enjoyed the distinction of being the first President of the United States who in time of peace had reviewed a great fleet of warships as Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. At the luncheon served on the Mayflower after the maneuvers Admiral Dewey escorted Miss Alice to the table. and the Secretary of the Navy Mrs. Roosevelt. After lunch was about concluded President Roosevelt rose and said: "We have with us to-day the representative of the great powers?Great Britain. Germany. Russia and Japan. I ask you to drink to these powers and their sovereigns. We also have witli us the representatives of an international incident. As to that, may the best boat win." The toast was drunk by all present standing, while a ripple of laughter dint Sir Thomas Lioton aud C Oliver Iselin went the rounds. Turks Capture Krushevo.
