Tain Attempt to Get Contraband Mas
ter Paat the Tampa Censor.
snaiess nave oeen the sc Hemes ra sorted to by newspaper correspondents
to get matter past Capt J. 13. Brady,
the press censor down at Tamps. Here
one of them:
A Cincinnati newspaper nan, llnn Bottsford, stumbled on a irood item one day. A colored cavalry regiment
and the infantry regiment from Port Thomas, near Cincinnati, had been quartered on the same transport, and the color contrast started a riot of con
siderable proportions. It was good news, impossible to get off by wire. Although it would not prejudice the
Government's cause, the censor Includ
ed it In the embargo. The Cincinnati
writer dropped into the express office.
"It Is this way," said ho to an official against whom be brushed. "There Is some little camp stuff I want to send
out. I want it taken to Macon, Ga
and wired from there."
"Oh, yes, we can do that for you." replied the willing official. "I'll give your package to one of our men going
np on the train to-night, and be will file the message for you at Macon. Don't mention it; glad to be of service
to you and your paper."
In his glee the correspondent skipped
away, even deigning to beam on the
press censor whom he encountered a half hour later. It was Just sixty minutes afterward when the young man appeared at the telegraph office to file
soine other matter, insignificant camp gossip.
'We can't accept matter from you,"
was the greeting he received. "Capt. Brady has chopped off your bead."
The correspondent, down-hearted in
a minute, trudged up to the hotel to see the censor. There Opt. Brady showed him the good story wtch'ihe correspondent had deposlte l wlth the
express company an hour before. Tho
young man was given a raking over.
and for two nights no story went out over his name. Finally the censor be
came gracious and reinstated the young man, after putting liim on his honor and requiring him to sign a document promising by all that Is holy to
attempt no more evasion of the censorship. The express company officer had
promptly sent the package to the censor as soon as the correspondent had left the office. St Louis Globe-

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.
Begularity is a matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular performance of nature's function. The
statement we print from Hiss Geb-
trupk Sixes, of Eldred, Pa., is echoed in ever city, town and hamlet in this country. Bead what she siiys:
' Dear Has. Pixeham: I feel like a
new person since following your advice, and think it Is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
ful menstruation and leucorrhosa. I was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using1 your remedies
I never had any faith in patent medi
cines. I now wish to say that I never
rhad anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Ly dia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; also would say that your Sanative Wash has cured me of leucorrhcea. I hope these few words may help suffering' women."
The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi
ence in treating female ills is unparalleled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter an many as a hundred thousand ailing women during- a single year. All suffering women are invited to write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for advice about their health. Dyes from Gas Tar. From 140 pounds of gat tar in a ton

CIIA1TEH I. The lnft notos of an oir from tho "Trovdiore" were dying nut over the shining sen. The crowd wlilrh lind gathered on the pier to listen to the hanil began to move and dlspersp, the mimic being over for that afternoon, n fine glowing August afternoon, tempered by the fresh, oft air breathing across the bay, crisping the waters here and there and bringing a delightful saltness from the rippling waters. The ncenc is Fordsen, n flourishing bath, ing place on the South Const of Kngliind, not altf gether dependent for its prosperity on Buunier nomads. Its attractions are of ft more permanent character. Being in the close neighborhood of the nnvn!
and military station of Eastport, the officers of both services are glad to establish
their families in the villas, terrnces, cres
cents, which border the grassy common Intervening between thcni and the In-ach.
At the end of this pleasant common a
pretty two-storied villa Rtood on an abrupt j
rising ground. A veranda, its support
overgrown with roses and honeysuckles, ran along the side facing the sea. This
veranda was evidently used as a morning room, comfortable lounging-chnirs, a work table laden with books, bright-colored silks and wools, a doll and n cup and ball lay about.
On the beach In front of this dainty
mansion a yonng lady was sitting on a
ridge of shingle, bleached by sea and sea-
water to perfect cleanliness, which af
forded n comfortable resting place. The
young lady seemed much at her ease. Her
kirt of bine serge was turned np over n
second skirt of white and blue and caught up at the back In what used to be called
fishwife" fashion the bodice fitttner her
sngnr supple ngtire easily, perfectly; a little foot in a dark blue stocking, and an incomparable shoo peeped forth as she
supported an open book on one knee, and 8 wide-brimmed sailor bat almost hid her face as she bent over the page. A big brown boat drawn ur beside her nv do
shelter from the level ravs of the sink
ing sun. Altogether she presented a pretty picture of quiet enjoyment.
as tne last strains of the band died
away a gentleman in boating attire strolled slcwly across the grass, paused, looked round as if searching for something, and then came straight over the shingle towards her.
Sue heard his sten and lnobor? f hr
book with renewed attention, nor did she
moTe till ne stood beside her. Then she raised her face, an interesting, rather than pretty face, somewhat brunette in complexion, and pale, with a warm palenessa small, oval face, with n delicate
chin and a very slight downward curve at the corners of the soft red moutn, that gave a pathetic expression to her counte
nance when in repose. Her eyes, too, which were her best feature large eyes, with long, dark lashes, had a wistful, faraway look, more nuked to a saint than to their piquant owner. j
Ihe man who paused beside her was tall and slender, with a grace of movement not usual in an Englishmen. He was darker, too, than ordinary Anglo-Saxons, who rarely possess gnch blue-black hair and flashing dark eyes as bis. His wellcnt, relined, but determined mouth was UDshnded by mustaches, though a strong growth of black ward showed through the clear olive-brown skin. He smiled a soft, caressing smile as he threw himself on the sand at her feet, saying: "I thought yon had gone on the pier with Cnllander?" "No; he has gone to the station to meet Mr. Standish, and Mabel has had the honor of a command from the Grand Duchess to" drive with her." The saintly-pathetic expression entirely disappeared ns she spoke with a swift, arch smile, and a Hash of scorn from her
"holy eyes." "Ah," he returned, in an amused tone, "why did you not go to meet your beloved guardian?" "I never meant to go. I came out of the way to listen to the band here. Music la so charming as It coiucr fitfully on the breeze, and I enjoy it most alone." "Well, it is over now, so I may venture to stay?" "Oh, yes, if you like! But I nm tired of sitting here. I want to match some silks. Do you mind, Mr. Egerton?" "Don't you think it would be cruel to
waste this lovely evening matching silks In a stuffy shop? Let ns go along the common towards the pier. We may meet some of your party returning."
"Yes, let us go along by the sea." They walked awhile in silence. Eger-
ton's expression hardening as though his thoughts were not pleasant. Presently he began to speak on indifferent topics, and suddenly, after a pause. Miss Wynn asked: "Do you really think Col, Callander seems better?"
"Tea, I do. I fancy the sunstroke which
knocked him down was not severe. Good as an excuse to come home to bis wife, perhaps, and here she is!" he exclnimed, interrupting himself, as a smart victoria and pair came up at a brisk pace and topped beside them.
I thought we might meet you." said
the elder of two Indies who occupied the carriage, a stately looking woman of perhaps sixty or more, with Iron gray hair, a thin-lipped, cluse-shnt mouth, and eyes too light for her complexion. Hvr companion was a beautiful young woman, exquisitely fair, with soft blue eyes and light golden brown hnir. Except on her Hps she lind scarce a trace of color, and her delicate face expressed pensive weariness ns she lay back in the carriage.
1 thought we should meet yon." re
peated the elder lady, who wan the Dow
ager Mrs. Callander. "Now Mabel can
walk home with you, for I must return to
receive my niece, Henrietta Oi.kcley. You
ought to nave come with us, Dorothy, but no uoubt you were better engaged "
Egerton bowed, and raised ins hat as
If he had received a high compliment.
Dorothy Biniled and gave a saucy little toss of her head as her sister alighted from the carriage.
I hope you will all dine with me to
morrow, to meet Miss Onkeley, continued
the Dowager. "Mny I have the pleasure
of seeing you, too, Mr. Egerton?"
"Certainly; I Bhall be delighted!" Mrs. Callander opened and nnreared a
grand white, much-beflouueed parasol, bowed graciously and was whirled away to her hotel.
You do not look much the better of
your drive, Mabel!" said her nfelcr, looking earnestly at her.
"1 assure you Mrs. Callanrler was ua-
nsunlly nniiable. I don't think she stabbed me more than once or twice." She slipped her arm through Dorothy's, and turning towards borne, walked on slowly between her sister and Egerton.
Mabel and Dorothy Wyni were the
daughters of a military oliicer, w ho in the days of purchase, never hail -money enough to buy the next step beyond that of captain.
When both girls were huhte. Captain
Wynn lost his wife, and then. In consider
ation of his junior olllcers' wishes, ex
pressed in bank notes, retired, He did not
long survive the combined losa of wife and
career. His daughters rem lined at the school where she had placed them, in or
der to acquire the means of adding to their
diminutive income.
They had apparently no relation save
their guardian. Pnnl StnndUli. lie was
a distant cousin of the late Captain Wynn,
and bis nearest friend- he nns also executor to his kinsman's will, as well ns
fUArdian to hi children; and very faith-1
fully did he nihil 'he duties he had tin derlnken. The young orphans soon learn eil to look upon him as an elder brother
indeed to llorotliy, wlio was live yours
younger than her sister, he seemed in
their childish days finite elderly.
One afternoon he brought a married sis
ter to see them. This lady invited the two girls to dine, and go to the theater. A
supreme joy in itself, nnd productive important consequence.
At dinner they met Colonel, then Major,
Callander, a grave, sedate man, who hn
run the gauntlet of many garrisons with
out any serious affairs of the heart; an
now, in the nost unexpected maimer, he fell utterly and absolutely fathoms deep
in love with jthc defuuet captain's lovely
daughter Mabel.
Colonel Callander carried out his pro
ject, and M.'bel, won by his quiet kind ness, and pleased at the prospect of a
home which he assured her she should
share with her sister, consented with sweet, frank readiness, nnd in about six months after their lt mooting Mnhel Wynn became Mabel Callander, the object of her grnve liisband's profound devotion.
of her overbenriiig mother-in-law s deepest
dislike.
This event wrought a considerable
change in the life of Mabel's sister. The
first grief of parting over. Dorothy found
that ninny pleasures and advantages had
come into her hitherto rather meager ex
istenee. Sh hail prettier frocks, more
abundant bo mets, and more frequent ex
pedltlons to concert nnd panorama with those better-off elder girls whose superior
lot she bad hitherto envied. The Christmas and midsummer holl days, spent with Major and Mrs. Callnu der wherever they happened to le quar
tered, were jglorious periods of fun and
frolic, and when little baby niece was pre
sented to her, her joy mid exultation knew no bounds. Towards her brother-in-law she
felt the warmest regard, not untinged with awe, and her highest reward, when she did not resist her natural tendency to idleness, anO attained any school distinc-
tinctiou, won Callander's grave nppmba
tion. This halcyou period came to a close
when the bav girl was a few months old,
and the regiment being ordered to India,
tho commanding officer retired and Callander got his step. But a warm climate did not suit his fair wife, who Was never very strong. After the birth of a boy she was ordered home. Dorothy, now close on the serious age of eighteen, i by Cailander'B wish, left school to reside with her sister. The only drawback to this blissful arrangement was the neighborhood and supervision of Mrs. Callander, the delicacy and depression of Maliel. This, however, seemed likely to paiss away, as, in a month or two, Dorothy gladly recognized un improvement i.i health and spirits. The winter was a pleasant one, for Paul Standish proved himielf the best "guide, philosopher nnd trend" they could hav? had. The gayery of their lives was co isider-
ably increased towards Christinas by the arrival in London of Egerton, who had known Col unci and Mrs. Callander in India, where he had gone for sport nnd travel. He loaded the sisters with flowers, stalls at the theaters, small presents, endless attentions, managing nt the same time to stand well with the Dowager, who respected his wealth and position.
! CHAPTER II. Mrs. Callander's little dinner was a greater success in her own estimation than perhaps in that of her guests. She had what she crjnsidercd a distinguished party, which Included an Honorable Major St. John, whose pretensions to exclusiveness nnd si pcriority were upheld by masterly taciturnity; her niece, a much-traveled and experienced young lady of good
tortune, nnd beyond the twenties, to whom the Dowager once thought of marrying her son, nnd who was nothing loth; an eloqnen: Low Church divine, the Itev. Septimus Cole, who was her spiritual director; Egerton, sundry nonentities, naval and military, of good position, and her son with his wife, who looked provukingly elegant. Dorothy had been unceremoniously put off to make room for St. John, who was especially asked for Miss Oakeley's beuelir, and as Egerton, who was. Mrs. Callander thought, the greatest man there, wnf more silent than usual, and looked slightly bored, she began to fear before dinner was over that she hud made a mistake in dispensing with that conceited, insignificant chit Dorothy, fur really Mr. Egerton seemed to miss something, and that something might be Dorothy. The resi of the company, with the exception of Miss Onkeley, "made" conver
sation more or less stiffly. She rattled away on possible subjects to St. John and Egerton, between whom she sat, being divided between the desire to niiike tin impression on the latter and animate the former. Colonel nnd Mrs. Callander remained to the last, as lie acted host, nnd when the family party were left nlon-', Miss Oakeley took a low chair beside her cousin's wife. "I have not lind the chance of a word with yon," she exclaimed, "and it must be more than two years since we met. I protest you arc prettier than ever, but paler nnd graver." "Thank you, Henrietta. Please remember I have two babies to think of now." "Horrid little brats! I hate children!" "Heretic! they arc sweet things, but certainly vroublesome. How do you think Herliort looks?" "Oh, very well. I would not trouble about hir'i. Tell me, h;w do you come to be such friends with Itandul Egerton? He is the most exclusive of men, and never allows himself to be bored." "Then I suppose we do not bore him. He was hurt when out tiger shooting, and carried into our bungalow, where we nursed him. lie fnncie.I we saved Iks life. Herbert is very fond of him." "And Dorothy? I fancy she has grown prtty. May I come to luncheon to-nior-row? I promise not to murder the children if you show thcin to me. And so Mr. Stni dlKh Is with you. Why in the world didn't my nuiit ask him (o dinner? He is so agreeable and so ipnlnr." While Miss Oakeley chattered on, Mrs. Callander was pouring u few grievances into her son's ear. "I am sorry Mnbel was so bored at din
ner to-di y, but I urn quite aware of the
reason," "Indeed! Well, I did not observe her being bored, nor do 1 know why she
should Ik-."
"Oh, I; am the offender! I did not ask Mr. Stntidish to join us. He is, I confess,
a man I neither like nor approve.
'There is no accounting for tuMos. He
is a good fellow enough."
"A mere worldling. I fear his want of faith has had an evil influence ou .Muliel
and Dorothy."
"Oh, mie! If there are no worse wom
en in tic world tliim my wife and little
Dorolhj it would not be a bad place! Mabel, it will be late before we reach
home." '
The Dowager (as she liked to be called it soiuihow smacked of duoiil rankj
bniic th-nu a glacial good night, hut lienrietla ran downstairs to see them off.
"You will be at Mr. Egertou's picnic ou Tuesday, will you not? He has asked me
and Aint Callander. Just fancy her yachting! She will bore and be bored. Mind y;m are at home to luncheon, Herbert; I in coining!" "Certainly! As to the ,iirnie. nearly every one is going, ourselves among the uumbei;, Cood night." (To be coutiuuedj

Mr. Gordon says: No regular Imrylng-piace has yet been found at Copan, but a number of isolated tombs have been explored. The location of these was strange and unexpircted-beneath the pavement of courtyards and under the foundations of houses. They consist Of small chambers of very excellent masonry, roofed sometimes by means Of the horizontal arch, and sometimes by means of slabs of stnn. resting on the top of the vertical wnl.s. In these tombs one, nnd sometimes two. Interments had been made. The bodies hud been laid at full length upon tin; floor. Tlie cerements had long since molded away, and the skeletons themselves were In a crumbling condition, nml give lit tle knowledge of the physical characteristics of the people; but 6-ne fact of Bin-passing interest came to light concerning their private lives, namely, the custom of adorning the front teeth with gems inlaid in the enamel, nnd by filling. Although not all of the ses of teeth found had been treated In this way, there art- enough to show that the practice was general, at least among tho upper elapses; for nl the tombs opened, from their assoelntions with prominent houses, seem to have belonged to people of rank nnd fortune. The stone used In the inlaying was a bright green jndeitc. A circular cavity about one-sixteenth of an Inch In diameter was drilled In the enamel of each of tho two front; tenth of the upper row, nnd inlaid with n little disk of jadelte, cut to a. perfect lit, and secured by means of a brlglit-rerl cement.

GettlnK Ril or Plies. Most people who have traveled In the far East have seen Orientals burning sandalwood in their houses for the pmpose of driving flies away. It Is odd that the plan is not more generally known in this country, where It meets with success wherever the experiment 1h tried. A recent arrival from London says that the women there have discovered this agreeable method of ridding their homes of the pest In London It Is possible to get the wood prepared for this purpose, but here It Is not so easy. American women have not .vet taken to the practice. Sandalwood can be bought at nlmost any Turkish or Japanese importing hoiisj. It Is prepared for burning by first b Ing cut Into small pieces, half an Inch thick and three indies long. Then it is l'UKa'd or dried out in a slow oven for twenty-four hours.
