McHENRY, - - ILLINOIS, "x'?S-- :© Children and Start. Nature study, which has bee® trans­ formed in a majority of cases into na- ; tare recreation, has extended to a great variety of subjects, but has 'treated one important branch with curious neglect. Birds and butterflies, trees, flowers, mushrooms, ferns and phells have their enthusiastic admir­ ers everywhere; but a question as to the sumtner constellations, or the planets which are the morning and ^evening stars of the month, reveals the fact that 19 j>ersons out of 20 «an barely recognize the Milky Way land the Great Dipper. Yet what a door here stands open to the thought­ ful mind! Night after night, over city iroofs, the great procession passes; one need go but to the street or the ^window to watch/ What child who lias been taken out into , the whisper­ ing darkness of a summer night, or the splendid silver beauty of a win- filer evening for a star talk has ever forgotten it? The tiames may slip fcway, perhaps, but something--a *ense of beauty, of mystery, of the •Unspeakable wonder of the universe-- remains unforgetably. There have t>een children with other star memo- ties. One of the prettiest pictures in biography, remarks the Youth's Com­ panion, is that of Lyman Beecher's children watching for the end of the long Puritan Sabbath and the release from constraint "when three stars le out" What friendly aspect the ifearly stars must have worn to them ill their lives, with the memory of eir playtime signal!

Odessa.--A mutiny of huge propor­ tions is believed to be in progress at Sevastopol. The trouble is believed to have started Saturday, and there is every indication that the rebels have gained the upper hand. There has been no telegraphic com­ munication with Savastopol since Sat­ urday. This condition would not be allowed to obtain if the government could prevent it, and the fact that the authorities have made no explanation of the interruption of communications adds to the belief that there has been a mutiny and that the mutineers have crippled the loyal forces to such an extent that they are unable even to call for help. , . Kaulbars Is Not Heard From. Several days ago Governor General Kaulbars went to Sevastopol to inves­ tigate the reports of serious disaffec­ tion among the troops. He has not returned, and so far as is publicly known he has not been heard from. The inference that there is trouble afoot at the fortress is strengthened by an incident which occurred here Sunday night, and which was carefully noted by spies of the revolutionists, who are perfectly familiar with the secret signaling codes of the army and navy. A torpedo-boat destroyer appeared several miles off the harbor and was picked up by the search light mounted on the roof of the commandant's resi-, decided to resort to the blowing up w bridges and the destruction of road­ beds. Fear Soldiers May Mutiny. St. Petersburg.--An outbreak at Se- vastapol similar to that at Cronstad is reported. Reenforcements have been sent to Sevastopol from Odessa. There is a rumor that four mutinous warships are cruising about Cronstad threatening St. Petersburg. The ad­ miralty does not believe the story. With the call for a strike the first gerious symptoms of military disaffec­ tion in St. Petersburg developed. Cos­ sacks were hastened to the barracks of the Moscow regiment of the guards, stationed in the capital. It is circum­ stantially asserted thin regiment is. on the point of mutiny. Serious disaffection ampng the troops also is reported from Warsaw and Moscow. A portion of the troops in summer camp near Warsaw muti­ nied Thursday and are in open revolt. The artillerymen have driven their of­ ficers out of their quarters. A detach­ ment of Cossacks sent to overpower the mutineers was received with grapeshot Details are lacking, as ex­ traordinary precautions are being ta­ ken to prevent the facts becoming public. The growing restlesness among the troops composing the garrisons in the southern provinces is being care­ fully watched by the provincial com- WHEN WILL IT BURST? n m v «^ X:' _ i *r * - v i •vvV-i Vh/CA&G r^tjUNC FISHING SMACKS BRING DEAD TO CARTAGENA. . -ft t CAPTAIN IS NOT A SUICIDE r ; - - • i ITALIAN STEAMER GOES DOWN; OVER 300 PERSONS DROWN 8HIP STRIKES REEF IN THE MED­ ITERRANEAN AND SINKS--CAP­ TAIN, OVERWHELMED BY | DISASTER, COMMITS # SUICIDE.

The signal was answered by the destroyer's search light and then the commandant's search light flashed the following order: "Proceed immediately to Sevastopol and report." The destroyer quickly turned her nose about ahd' started, under full steam for the Crimea. Fear , Revolt at Odessa. Meanwhile there is much uneasiness regarding conditions in this city. For several days there have been persist­ ent reports that a portion of the gar­ rison were preparing to kill their of­ ficers and take possession of the bar-.; racks and equipment, afterward put­ ting themselves at the service of the' revolutionists. According to these reports an up­ rising of the populace was to follow and the revolt in southern Russia would be on in full swing. Just what has occurred at the garrison is not known, but there is much apprehen­ sion that something serious is about to happen. That the reports of trouble among the troops are well founded is indicat­ ed by the tact that the French consul ban been instructed by his government In case of necessity to jpive refuge to fugitives irrespective of nationality. In these instructions also is seen the possibility that the Paris government has been apprised of an uprising in Sevastopol. Strikers Plan Reign of Bomb. St Petersburg.--After an all night secret session at Terioki, Finland, the council of workmen's deputies decided to overcome the obstacle offet-ed by the apathy of the railroad men to­ ward the general strike, By the use of bombs. Representatives of all the revolu­ tionary parties and emissaries from« Moscow, Kieff, Odessa, Riga and other cities were present and there was se­ vere denunciation of the railroad men fon thelr failure to tie up the transpor­ tation lines as an aid to the revelu- tion. This timidity on the part of the railroad men is due to the fact that a recent law provides severe penalties for participation in strikes which af­ fect communications, and extends to the telegraphers. The Terioki meeting gramme. manders-in-chief. Protracted staff councils are being held daily. A revolutionary manifesto was cir­ culated Friday declaring that Russia is on the eve of a military and naval revolution which will be sharp and desperate. A general uprising In the navy is among v the possibilities, despite the fate which befel the revolt on Pamaya Azova. An incipient mutiny broke out Fri­ day on board the cruiser Bogatyr at Helsingfors. It immediately was put down with the arrest of 200 of the sailors on board. Soldiers Guard Warships. A battalion of infantry is guarding the docks at Cronstad night and day to prevent any attempt to destroy the warships there. These include Rossia and Gromboi, which recently returned from Vladivostok. Their crews remain calm. Reports from Cronstad say that all the sailors have not yet surren­ dered. Mutiny at Cronstad. St Petersburg. -- Developments Thursday were as follows: More than 2,000 sailors and soldiers at Cronstadt mutinied, and a fierce battle followed, In which several were killed and many wounded. The mu­ tiny virtually is ended. The mutineers at Sveaborg fortress surrendered. A general strike, which is expected by its promoters to bring about a great uprising, is to be called Saturday or Monday, according to the decision of revolutionists' committee here. The crew of the cruiser Pamyat Azova mutinied off the Esthonian coast and killed Bome of the officer* of the vessel. The uprising was sup­ pressed by sailors who remained loyal. Military disorders have broken out at Reval. No details are obtainable. It is feared another mutiny has oc­ curred. Gen. Markgraffsky, chief of the gen­ darmerie at Warsaw, was shot and killed by revolutionists. Although the hands of the revolu­ tionists were forced suddenly by the premature rising at Sveaborg, they are undaunted at these Initial reverses and intended to persist In their pro- Cartagena, Spain.-- One of the most appalling marine' disasters in the Mediterrnean since the Vic­ toria sank the Camperdown off the coast of Tripoli took place Saturday afternoon at Hormigas island, near Cape Palos on the Cartagena coast. The Italian steamer Sirio, with a freight of more than 800 souls, bound from Genoa and Barcelona for Buenos Ayres, struck a reef and sank within a short time. , More than 300 of the passengers were drowned and those who sur­ vived are now in a pitiable condition on the shore, suffering from exposure and hunger. v •« " So overwhelmed was the captain of the wrecked steamer that he killed himself on the bridge just before,, she sank. The bishop of Sao Pedro, Brazil, also was lost, and It Is reported that another bishop is among the missing. The remainder of the passengers and the officers and crew got away in the ship's boats or were rescued by means of boats sent to them from the shore. • Heroic Fishermen Lose Lives. A number of fishermen who made attempts at rescue were drowned. e Those rescued from the vessel are now at Cape Palos In pitiable condi­ tion, being without food or clothing. The Sirio struck a rocky reef known as Bajos Hormigas and sank soon after, stern first. Hormigas island lies about two and a half miles to the east­ ward of Cape Palos. The Sirio was owned by tb0 Navi- gazione Italiana, of Genoa. Before he committed suicide the captain declared the steamer had 645 passengers on board and that her crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio had 570 passenger^ when leaving Genoa, but additional Spanish passengers were taken on board at Barcelona, where the vesesl touched a few hours before the disaster ' Vessel Settles Rapidly. The disaster occurred at five o'clock Saturday afternoon. The steamer was threading a difficult passage through the Hormigas group, where the Bajos Hormigas reef is a continual menace to navigation. The vessel began to settle rapidly immediately shethad struck, and. a terrible scene of confusion and panic ensued on board. The fishermen along the coast sought to render every assistance in their power, and sent out boats which brought many survivors ashore. Most of the officers and crew of the Sirio are among the saved. Heartrending Scenes. The survivors have gone into camp on the main square of the town of Cape' Palos,. Her§ harrowing scenes are enacted as "the stricken families' anxiously seek beloved members among the rescued. A mother who lost her three chil­ dren went insane. The doctor of the Sirio gave up his wife and child as lost, but -they iwere finally brought in by one of the res­ cuing boats, and the scene as this fam­ ily was reunited was most affecting. One of the boats sent out by the fishermen brought in 24 passsengers. The condition of the survivors is most deplorable. They have lost everything and are without money, food or clothing. The maritime authorities of Carta­ gena have dispatched a tug to the scene carrying relief supplies. The buildings of a circus and the poor house are being used as temporary quarters for the survivors. Safety Appliance Suits.

Several small fishing smacks have arrived, bringing in sometimes one and some­ times several Burvivors of the Sirio, who were found floating at sea a long distance from the scene of the disas­ ter. It is believed that some of the pas eengers who secured life belts have been picked up alive by French, Ger­ man, Italian or British sailing vessels passing in the vicinity, and disem­ barked at Barcelona, Port Vendres or Marseilles. The vicinity of Cape Pa­ los is much frequented by sailing and steamships. Spanish warships stationed at Car; tagena and Alicante have been ordered to search the neighborhood of the ca­ tastrophe for Burvivors who may be still floating on pieces of wreckage or with life buoys. British warships at Gibraltar alao have left at full speed In the direction of Cape Palos to render assistance in exploring the surrounding seas. The first reports of the disaster de­ clared without qualification that the captain of the Sirio had committed su­ icide. Later information, however, shows that he was on board the steam­ er when she sank, and expressed the determination to go -down with his vessel. He was afterward rescued In spite of his refusal to be saved. The Spanish minister of the interior has requested the ministry of finance to supply funds to succor the stricken passengers. The Italian consul here and the members of the Italian colony, acting in cooperation with the local authorities, -have provided for the Im­ mediate wants of the shipwrecked people. .

A Mass. physician has found a curei- for constipation in children -- citing1, fifteen cases--by feeding them Grape- Nuts. "Some time ago," he writes, "I be­ came interested in your food, Grape-- Nuts, as a cure for constipation in< children. Having tried it in my own* family, I have advised it in fifteen* cases in which all suffered with con­ stipation more or less severe. The re­ sult has been absolute relief in all. "I write this that other childreni may be benefited." 1 How much better It Is thus to brlhg" about a healthy action in the bo#ela of growing children by natural means* than to feed them with improper food* requiring some kind of cathartic at intervals to overcome constipation. Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-- tire nervous Bystem including the* nerves that cause the natural con­ traction and relaxation of the bowel muscles, that propel the food ma«k along. It is predigested also, and the blood' easily absorbs the food as it goes through the body, storing up vitality^ and force for the functions of all the* organs. Children ^specially, should get the, right start as to habits of living.. They should grow into bright, strong,. cheerful men and women. Grape-Xutsl solve the question of the start; a. wholesome appetite will do the rest. Children's teeth are benefited by - chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent-. 1st will tell you that a certain amount. of exercise in chewing firm food, .is.., necessary to grow strong, beautiful teeth. Teeth need exercise just the same- as muscles, if theiy are to grow atrong and firm as nature intended. Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and also gives material from which good, teeth are made.
