It is known that he has gone to the field presumably to attempt to prevent Gen Gomez from meet- iag Maceo in the province of Pinar Del Ri- . He was accon.panied by the entire staff. a company of order publico, a bat- tery of artillery, a detachment «a. exva'ry, hospital corps, chap- lain and two guides familiar with Vuel:a Atjao, the great tobacco district. The cavalry horsea filled sixteen cars. The battery of artillery included one rapid fi - ing gun. It is believed he intends to con- duet field operations personally until Gen. Weyler, the newly appointed captain gen- eral, arrives. The cavalry force waa aug- mented by 1100 men with horses a+ the train passed through the way. stations, thus making a column strong in this branch of arms and p'acing it on more equal terms with the rebel forces, most of whom are mounted. It is kaown that Gomez is moving west near the northern coast of the province of Pinar Del Rio. The latest trust-worthy information places Maceo in western part of province. Jt may be he has since marched to meet Gomez. The military authorities are confident the troops will be able to pen both rebel leaders in Pinar Del Rio and force them to a pitched battle. They hope that once they are able to compel the rebels to stand they will crush them. Scarcity of am- munition among the rebels will prevent them from attempting a decisive engag- ment. Itis said that as soon as Gen. Meyler arrives he will iseue a proclama- tiov giving the rebels eight days to lay down arma and surrender. If they do not do this he will inaugurate a campaign of blood and fire against them and their abettors. —_— PE TO MEEC COMPLICATIONS. The St Petersburg Vremys publishes the following special despatch from Vlad- ivostock: News comes from Yokohama that the English squadron in the Pacific is being agumented by six warships. At the same time corsiderable increase is be- ing made in the Japanese navy. Eng- land and Japan are evidently preparing energétically’1o meet possible complications arising out of the recent Russo-Chinese understanding. The Navosti says on the subject ofthe alleged Russo-Turkish treatv: “Russia can guarantee the exist- ance of Turkey only if reforms such as the opening of the Dardanelles to Russian war- ships be offered. It is impossible to ad- duce any valid reason why Russia should he forced to lock up ber fleet in the Black Sea. Itis simply a policy of Sutrageous violence to which Russia submits because she loves peace, but the prohibition is bound to disappear.” _——_ 22 o—_—— A secret understanding between Turkey and Rassia is likely to be bad for Turkey.

What Parents are Respousible for in Selecting Names tor Their Offspring Modern Tendencies. The names Molly and Polly, Annie and Nan, Maggie and Peggy, Nancy and Nan, are just as much in vogue to- day as in olden time, and in all probability will continue to be given as Christian nates to baby girls for all time. We do not find French women taking their ancestors to task for bestowing upon them ungainly for the taste of the French in names is pro- verbial. There is no Peggie in the French When they tired of to the Annette, ’ The NAMES, tongue, Mary they changed it name Marie. Ann sprightly and bright. Some parents refused to give first names to their children, preferring that the children themselves should choose their own names. It is often a positive handicap to a man of parts to have an ineuphonious name. In many ignorant parents have gone wrong igi their } their off- spring. and more than once a girl baby has been called Jezebel and a boy baby Ananias. The Rev. James B. Walely, a Methodist minister, who preached many vears In New York, told, with great enjoyment, of a lisping mother who took her baby to the font in the church to be baptized and christened. When the divine took it in his arms, preparatory to chr tening it, he asked the lisping mother what he should name it. The parent replied **Luci’- thir.” Indignantly the minister re- marked : “Lucifer! Lucifer! Never will I name a child that.” Then he continu- ed, as he sprinkled the water upon the “George Wash- “i , and the became of names for } selection brow of the girl baby, ington, 1 baptize thee,” ete. was thereafter so called. It is a fact in names changes in cycles of less than a cen- tury. At present there seems to. be a tendency toward odd names. Some of the popular ones are Dorothy, Rhoda, Edna and Angeline. Ada is quite com- mon, and Almira comes down, it would } giri that fashion uppear, from the country towns to adorn city beauties.

A mother sometimes delights in per- petuating the name of her grandmoth- er, Who bore the name of her great- grandmother, and thus these very old names descend by the choice of the parent.

Second—To put them up to appear very nearly the same and to be offered at the same price. Third—To hook on the word “kidney” in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Sir John Lubbock, bart F. R. S, M.D., for London university, explained the objects of the league. The Duke of Devonshire was elected president. Among the speakers was Richards Dobell of Que bee, who referred to the loyalty ot Canada, ard said that the formation of the British Empire league would be hailed with great satisfaction in the dominion.

Blisters did not form, and a cure was effected after four or five days. The only inconyeni- ence was that the acid. which is com- mercially in the manufacture of dyes, colored the skin yellow, but these stains rapidly disappeared when wash- Picrie acid, more- ever, is odorless, and is neither caustic, irritating nor toxic in its effects.
