IS CAMPOS WOUNDED?
There Is Reason to Believe So-Heavy Losses of the Spaniards in Two En-
 agreements.

Jacksonville, Fla, July 2O.-A cable gram to the Times Union from Key West, Fla. says:
 Private advices by the steamer Mas cotte state that a special car closely coV- cred arrived in Havana on the 18th and some one was taken from the same ana carried to the palace. The supposition IS that it was Gen. Martinez Campos, se- riously wounded, he being at the battle in which Gen. Santo Clldes was Killed The Spanish loss at this battle was 1000.
 It is also reported that Suarez Valdez having been surrounded near Jicotea by Maximo Gomez and finding escape lm- possible. committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. His troops were completely routed, some of whom joined the insurgents.
 Reports of the battle between the in surgents and Spanish forces on the 18th near Bayamo are only meagre. The Spanish troops numbered 2500 and the in- surgents 2000.

To Preserve Grapes.

In our country, where cold storage
has become such wonderful success,
no difficulty is found in preserving
grapes, or other fruits, long after the
natural season has been passed. Our
process. however, does not usually
preserve the beauty OF the grapes !;
they have to be packed in boxes, and
when they come out lose their good
form, however much they may have
preserved their edible character.
In the old world, however, where
the beauty of the fruit is as much ap-
preclated as it's quality, they have to
look to other means of preservation.
One of the most popular methods OF
preserving the grape 50 as to secure
this beauty of form, as we'll as length
ening the period over which grapes
may be obtained, is to have long tracks
in the fruit houses made to sustain
bottles of water; the grapes ore cut
with portions of branches attached,
and these branches placed in the bot
Ties.
The water prevents, of course, the
evaporation of the juices of the fruit,
and if care is taken to guard against
mold, they can be had many months
after the punches have been taken
from the vine. The great beauty of a
bunch of grapes, when it appears on
an English dinner table, Is in the
waxy bloom which covers the grape,
and by this method Of preserving
punches this bloom can be preserved
intact. Monthly.

Farmers in Cuba,

Between the condition of the planter
and that of all other agriculturists
whatever in Cuba the widest differ
ence exists. The laborer has nothing,
never has had anything, and is happy
in the knowledge that he never will
have anything. The small farmer,
the owner of few acres, is the most
abjectly poverty-stricken son of the
soil that I have ever met. He lives
in the poorest habitation known to
civilized man, hut made of the bark
of the palm. tree. Beside it the adobe
dwelling of the Mexican is palace.
1t has one room, q dirt floor; neither
window nor chimney; in this the fam
lily live like cattle, subsisting upon
the poorest of food, as most that the
soil produces must go to pay the
taxes. Children run about, guiltless
of the knowledge of clothes until six
or eight years old. Books, education,
the world, are things of which they
have never even dreamed.
It is true that there is an interme-
diate group. Between these peo-
pie and the planters is small cohtin-
gent OF thrifty farmers. Here and
there through the country may be
seen stone dwelling with red tile
roof that marks the home of one who
by some rare enterprise has become
possessed of enough land to engage in
cattle raising or fruit growing. But
the prosperous, forehanded, middle
class farmer is conspicuous by his ab.
sence. 1t is because there is no such
middle class. and because the country
people are either the owners of great
estates or else abjectly poor, that it is
q mistake to speak of Cuba as rich
country. It cannot be so while the
present conditions exists. But with
such combination of soil and climate
as she possesses, the island is capable
of great things. Money and enter
prise are needed for the development
of its resources, and these are not
likely to be forthcoming while the
present social and political conditions
remain. If the island were open to
American enterprise as freely as our
own territory is, q decade would suf-
fee for the working Of great changes.

Why Physicians Use an "R.o

4 woman of an investigating turn
of mind started out the other day to
discover why physicians begin. their
prescriptions with the letter "R. "
Well, she found out, but it took time
and caused her some trouble. 1t
seems that during the middle ages,
when astrology was in fashion, q
character very much like our "R" was
the sign of Jupiter, the preserver of
health. The physicians, being then
equally devoted to the science of med.
icine and astrology, invariably began
their prescriptions with the following
words: 'In the name of Jupiter take
the following doses in the order set
down hereinafter" In the course Of
time this formula was abbreviated,
until at present only the letter "R''
remains to teach us that the medical
art was once associated with the
science of the stars. Boston Travel.

Records OF Revolutionary Pensioners

The records of the Revolutionary
pensioners fill large part of the attic
of the Treasury Department at Wash
ipgton. There the vouchers for every
pension of the Continental Army are
filed away, and though the last revo-
lutionary pension was paid years ago
they are still overhauled neatly every
day in search of information for the
benefit of sons and daughters of the
Revolution, compilers of town and
county histories and other persons
who want to trace their ancestry OF
confirm local traitions. It is curious
fact that the ink used more than q
hundred years ago keeps its color bet
ter than that made forty or fifty years
later. The records of the Revolution
airy War are more legible than those Of
the War of 1872 aud the Indian
troubles that followed it. This is due
to the fact that the early inks were
home made. Patent formula first
came into use about 1926 or 1880.

(Fron, the Republican, Cedar Rapids, Iowa).
Mrs. v. Curley, who has resided in Clarence,
Iowa, for the past twenty-five years, tells an
interesting story Of what she considers rescue
from premature death. Her narrative is as
follows:
"For ten years prior to 1894, was con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble. |
had all the manifold symptoms Of acute dys.
pepsia, and at times other troubles were pres
ent in compicatlon-I did not know what it
was to enjoy q meal. No matter how careful

preparation of my food, distress always fol-
lowed eating. was despondent and blue.
Almost TO the point Of insanity at times, and
would have been glad to die. Often and
often L could not sleep. Sympathetic heart
trouble set In and time and again was OBJ
liged to call doctor In the night to relieve
sudden attacks of suffocation which would
come on without moments warning
"My troubles increased as time wore on and
I spent large sums In doctor bills. being oom-
PEELED to have medical attendants almost cor-
stantly. During 1892 and 1893, 1t was i'm
possible for me to retain food, and water
brashes plagued me. I was reduced to q
skeleton. A consultation Of physicians was
unable to determine just what did all me.
The doctors gave US as their opinion that the
probable trouble was liberation Of the coats
of the stomach aud held out no hope Of re-
covery. One doctor said, All can do to
relieve your suffering Is by the use OF opium.
about this time q friend Of mine, Mrs.
Samantha Smith, of Glidden, lowe, told me
about the case OF Mrs. Thurston, CT Oxford
Junction, Iowa. This lady said she had been
afflicted much the same as had. She had
consulted local physicians without relief, and
had gone to Davenport for treatment. Giving
up all hope Of recovery, she was persuaded
by friend to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The result was almost magical.
1T was led to try them from her experience.
and before many months felt better than
I had for dozen years. l am now almost
free from trouble, and il through some error

and am once more In my usual flesh. sleep

doubt that I owe my recovery to DR.. Will

heard OF them years ago, thereby saving
myself ten years Of suffering and much

ments necessary to give new life and richness
