Russian BLACK Bread.

A correspondent of a London paper
has thrown out the ingenious sugges-
ton that the black bread used by the
Russian soldiers was comprised in the
regimen adopted by John the Baptist in
the wilderness. This is an elastic the
DRY. The bread eaten by the Cossack
cavalry and the Russian infantry is very
coarse and greasy. The soldier prefers,
when he can get it, to break the bread
into small pieces, which he puts into a
bowl and pours hot water over it; the
grease then develops into gravy and
forms simple kind of soup. It was
eaten with wooden spoon, at least that
was the favorite implement at the time
of the Crimean war; every soldier car
OF them were brought home then as
trophies.

THE CUBAN WAR.
The Terrible state of Affairs In the Ever
Faithful Isle.


IN. Y. Herald
At Santiago de Cuba and Nueyitas. also Wis
tied by the Ossipee, the same state of affairs
exists. All these towns are closely be
leaguered by the insurgents. who have prac-
tical control of the entire east end Of the
island Nothing Lut the presence Of the
Spanish gunboats, which are held In great
dread by the insurgents, prevents these towns
from falling into their hands At none of the
places visited did the Spanish authorities visit
the ship. beyond making, through a subordi-
nate, a formal visit. The Ctlbans, however
thrpng the ship, and, when under our flag,
spoke very freely of the situation in the
island, which is daily becoming more and
more sad and hopeless. II was the unani-
nous opinion of these people that the Span
iards were doing more to destroy the valuable
estates on the island than the insurgents.
Two more years Of contest will certainly
completely ruin the island. The recent war
tax of thirty-eight per cent laid on estates
and on business of all kinds is greater than
can be endured. Yet the Spanish officials are
collecting 1t with relentless yigor. Every one
has in store greater disasters and troubles
It would take years for the island to regain
Its prosperity should the war close to-day:
but while, the officials are being enriched by
the war the end thereof is far off
The loss Of life. by fever and other diseases,
In the Spanish army Ia something appalling.
The medical and cOmmissarat departments
are in the most inefficient condition. and CON
the army Is decimated by disease
of every kind. General Campos is making
great efforts to put down the instruction.
but 1t Is generally admitted his labors have
failed. The terrible drain on the re-
sources Of Spain must soon SO enfeeble her as
TO compel her TO give up the contest by com
promise or the withdrawal of her forces She
cannot much longer continue the struggle.

81. PAUL, MINI, May A.-Excitement Is
being created by the practical workings Of
the 'hopper5doser invented by Hon. A. B..
Robbins, OF Kaudiyohi county. The machine
is simply strip of common sheet-lfon turned
up a little at the bottom, with the rear ee-
waited eight to ten inches, and the upper face
covered with coal tar and Is pushed or
hauled over the ground Its total cost Is
about dollar, and experience shows that
where young 'hoppefs are thick, with one
gallon OF tar, costing about seven cents,
bushel Of 'hoppers can be caught In q very
short time, one man with machine going
over ten to fifteen acres q day. Whenever the
tar becomes filled with 'hoppers, fire is put to
IT, and when burned off new coat of tar is
applied and the work OF catching renewed.
representing the authorities of Meeker coun,
ty called on the Governor, aud. on their
recommendation Of the practical working Of
the machine In their vicinity. he telegraphed
an order to Chicago for five car loads of tar
and five tons Of sheet iron, for Use In that
county alone, the county bearing the expense
This afternoon a model machine was sent out
on the line uf the st. Paul and Sioux City
road, and an effort Is being made to Introduce
the machine wherever 'hoppers are Matching,
the impression being general that the local
hatch can thus be destroyed. While this
q live fight against the young hop
pefs, the farmers are still more encouraged
by the fact that the hoppers. where easiest
hatehed are dying, none but very small ones
having yet been seen anywhere. This latest
fact sustains Prof Thomas theory that the
pests have lived their time in this section, and
leads TO very general hope that no material
damage Is to result from them this year.
While this Is the case grain never looked bet
