The Sad Side OF War.

Miss Anna F. Webb, of Oxford,
Penn, who is teaching in San Sebast-
ian, Spain, writes as follows to her
father, Rev. Edward Webb, describing
the manner in which the war in Cuba
affects the people of Spain:
"The principal thing that occupies
our minds and hearts outside of school
affairs is the embarkation of the Cuban
troops. Last Thursday one regiment
left and the next day another. The
whole town was wild over it. There
have been high masses in the street,
with affairs, decorations and process
sions; banquets and parades by day
and illuminations by night. When
the soldiers took the train at II
o'clock on Thursday and Friday nights
the whole city poured forth en- masse
to the railroad station, our family,
with the other students. included. 1t
was most touching scene.
"In spite of great enthusiasm there
was fearful sadness, and the sobs were
as frequent as the cheers. The poor
mothers feel that their boys will have
to fight fever more than bullets. At
the last minute there was commotion,
and people came hurrying up to two
of the men (boys they really were),
bringing them their release. Parents
and friends at this last hour succeeded
in raising the money to pay for a sub
stitute and SO save their boys from
going to Cuba. The excitement was
tremendous.
"Oh, how wish this farce of q war
was over! 1t is even worse than war
itself, for Spain is being frightfully
impovished. Many young men are
losing their education and prospects in
life, while other poor families at home
are almost dying without their sup
port. Then, with it all. there seems
to be no glory, only death in fever
hospital, where probably as many die
from neglect as from disease itself. 1t
is oil SO terrible. Washington Star.

curly head; with dimpled mouth smil-
ing, and trustful eyes of blue looking
warmly into yours, and one little hand
caught in string of bright red beads
hanging about the chubby neck.
And when you are gone away the
artist will perchance open o drawer
near by, and take out the counterpart
of those self-same beads, and look on
them with tender eyes-so long, per-
haps, that the door will open very
softly at last, and dark head thrust
itself into the opening; and when its
owner sees what the artist is doing,
she will slip quietly along until she
is behind his chair; and then ask,
softly, as one white arm goes around
his neck:
"What, dreaming?"
And the artist draws her to him.
"Thank God, I am not dreaming
nowl" he whispers, fervently.
And both the soft arms are clasped
around his neck, and the blue eyes,
still sweet and trustful, look into his
and Paquarette stoops, and kisses the

The Queens Coachman.

Queen Victoria's state coachman,
Edward Miller, is an old and faithful
servant, who has held his post for
thirty-six years. He drove tho Queen
to the Duke of York's wedding, on
which occasion he handled four horses
from the box. There were no postil-
lions. The supreme control of the
royal stables rests with the master of
the horse, an Office at present held by
the Duke of Portland. Next to His
Grace in command is the crown
equerry, Sir Henry Ewart, who is
really the acting chief. Sir Henry,
by the way, looks after the naming of
the horses. His duties, however, are
not all SO light as this one. The i'm
mediate control Of TIE news is in the
hands of Mr.. Nicholas, who was fornl-
erly lieutenant in the royal horse
artillery. He has under him staff of
about sixty officials.
One of the most interesting relics of
the old Buckingham House is the
'sriding horse" which has other inter-
ests than that of the grammarian's
escape. In it the royal children were
taught horsemanship, and on the wall
one may see the iron brackets used
when they practiced lemon cutting

The Koran.

The Koran is at the same time re-
ligious and political code. All Mus.
sulmans admit it to be SO, and it can
not be expected therefore, that, since
their religion is connected with their
national policy, they will not make
use of the former to carry out the lat
ter. Their policy may be briefly de-
fined-namely, the maintenance of
their faith in its purity by exclusive
ness and isolation; the emancipation
of the countries which have fallen un-
der Christian rule; the determination
of the infdel nations and races who,
by refusing to pay tribute for the re-
demption of their blood, are pro-
nounced by the prophet to be in q
state of open rebellion against the
law, and consequently deserving of
death. Enlightened and tolerant Mo-
hammedans will endeavor to palate
these precepts by quotations from the
Koran and Hadis (Traditions) but they
are not the less cherished creed, the
conscientious belief, of upward of
200, ZOO, 900 Mohammedans.

A Remarkable Dairy Machine.

A wonderful dairy machine is said
to be on exhibition in England. This
machine, says he st. Louis Globe
Democrat, the invention of Herr Sa-
lenius, a Swedish engineer. makes
butter in about minute from steril-
lied milk direct. The milk is heated
in the sterilizer Tor Pasteurine, as it
is called to 160 degrees Fahrenheit,
and runs thence into the am-skim-
ming chamber Of the machine. AS
the cream is skinned, it rises into the
churring chamber, being cooled down
to sixty degrees in its progress by
means of very small cooling frames
through which iced water constantly
passes, and which revolve with the
skinner ut the rate of 5000 revolu-
tions per minute. The cream is
forced into q tube, perforated with
tiny holes, through which it emerges
with great force on to each fresh lay:
er of cream that rises, converting it
into butter by conclusion. The but
ter thus formed in granules emerges
from spout into tub, mixed with
butter milk. When oil the churning
is done, a wooden stirrer is passed up
and down gently for two or three
minutes, to make the butter separate
from the greater part of the butter
milk. The butter is then taken out
and passed through butter worker,
which squeezes out most of the butter
milk remaining in, after which it is
placed on ice for two hours, and then
worked little more and made
up. Several advantages are claimed
for this remarkable machine, which
bids fair to create q revolution in but
ter making upon large scale. In
the first place, by Pasteurizing the
milk, disease germs, if any there are
in it, are destroyed, as we'll as the mi
crobes which cause the putrefaction of
the butter. The process of butter
making is SO rapid that there is very
little chance of any germs that may
exist in the atmosphere OF the dairy
getting into the butter, especially as
all, or nearly oil, air must be forced
out of the chambers of the machine by
the extreme rapidity of the move
ments going on inside. When the
butter is once pressed, the possibility
of germ impregnation is almost elm
mated. Thus wholesome and long
keeping butter is produced. Another
advantage is that milk can be con-
verted into butter directly after being
obtained from the COW, and yet an
other is that there is considerable
saving of labor, when the use of the
radiator" is compared with that OF
the ordinary separator and churn. 1t
is asserted that this machine has been
in use for several months in butter
factories in Sweden and Finland. The
demonstration of its merits in London
created a sensation among the dairy
farmers.

CURIOUS FACTS.

The British Isles comprise no fewer
than one thousand separate islands
and islets, without counting mere jut-
ting rocks or isolated piDnacles.
The Russians have singular meth
cd of extorting disclosures from pris-
oners. In their food is mixed a drug
which has the effect of rendering them
delirious, and in this state they are
watched and interrogated, when secrets
are divulged.
In China, in times of pestilence, per-
sons are permitted to witness, gratui-
tously theater performances and dis
plays of fireworks, the object being
that their minds may be distracted
thereby from the prevailing epidemic.
In large cities places are provided in
which those who, in desperation, give
up the battle of life, may quietly lay
themselves down and die.
The hygienic value of soap is har lily
realized by the general public. Recent
experiments have shown that solu-
tion of soap will Kill typhoid or chol-
era microbes. A per cent solution
will do so in twelve hours, while or
10 per cent solution will do it in few
minutes. This is about the simplest
and most reliable means of dislnfecting
that we have at our disposal.
Railroad kidney is one of the latest
additions to the list of special diseases,
and it is said to be wholly due to the
dust and grimo that filters into the
system through the pores of the skin,
and which, under continuous railway
travel, it is impossible to- eradicate.
To anyone witha tendency to kidney
trouble, railroad travel for week is
said to be most dangerous. There is
no such danger in sea travel, for there
is no permanent disease known which
is peculiar to the ocean.
There is at least one country in the
world where it costs nothing to die.
In some of the cantons of Switzer-
land, all the dead, rich as we'll as poor,
are buried at the public expense, says
an exchange. Cofins and all other
necessary articles are furnished on ap-
plication to certain undertakers desig-
mated by the government. Everything
connected with the interment is abso-
lutely gratuitous, including the grave
and religious services. All classes
avail themselves freely of the law.
An inquiry was recently made in
| london as To the greatest distance at
which mans voice could be heard,
leaving, of course, the telephone out
of consideration. The reply was most
interesting, and was as follows:
Eighteen miles is the longest distance
on record at which mans voice has
been heard. This occurred in the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado, where
one man shouting the name "Bob" at
one end, his voice was plainly heard at
the other end, which is eighteen miles
away. Lieutenant Foster, on Parry's
third Arctic expedition, found that he
could converse with man across the
harbor of Port Bowen, g. distance of
6,696 feet, or about one mile and q
quarter; and Sir John Franklin said
that he conversed with e!se at distance
of more than o mile. DR.. Young re-
cords that, at Gibraltar, the human
voice has been heard at distance of
ten miles.
