The New Volume Of st. Nicholas.

So. Nicholas, conducted by Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge, entered upon the twenty
fifth year of its successful career as the
leading magazine for boys and girls with it's
November issue. A remarkably varied and
attractive list OF features has been secured
for the coming year, including contribu-
tions by several of the foremost writer's of
the day.
Rudyard Kipling's first Jungle Stories"
were written for 50. Nicholas, and this year
he will contribute a new series of stories to
the magazine, called The "Just-So-Stores, +"
written in a new vein-fantasic stories.
Some stories, Mr.. Kipling says, are meant
to be read quietly, and some are meant to
be told aloud. Some are for rainy mornings
and some for long, hot afternoons, and some
are for bed time. These stories of Mr.. Kip
ling's are meant to be told "just So" and
one must not alter one single little word
They are stories about animals, queer, very
queer little animals.
Mr.. Frank r. Stockton will contribute
1.-THE Buccaneers of Our Coast" This is
series of narrative sketches in which will
be treated the original, characteristics, adj
ventures, and exploits of that wild body of
sea-rovers, calling themselves "The Breth-
rem of the Coast" who during the greater
part of the seventeenth century ravaged and
almost ruled the waters and shores of the
West Indies.
Mr.. j. I. Trowbridge has written serial,
Two Biddicut Boys, and Their Adventures
With a Wonderful Trick ID g." This is
marked by his best qualities and is full of
effective interest. lively story of track
and field is 1.-THE Lakerm Athletic Club"
by Rupert Hughes, which will tell of
ar Of sports carried out by party of "real
boys" Mr.. w. o Stoddard writes a stir.
ring romance of chivalry, with the Black
Prince" telling of the fortunes aud adven-
lures of an English lad who fights at the
battle of Crecy. A fairy-t,le of science
" trough the Earth" by Clement f. candle,
is serial of the Jules Verne order. 1t tells
of the daring conception of scientist of
the next century, who by the enormously
increased power of electricity succeeds in
boring hole through the earth and sending
a boy in cigar-shaped car through the tun-
mel.
There will be the usual number of articles
of instruction and en- ertainment, short
stories, poems and jingles, as well as hun
dreds of pictures by leading artists. The
price of 81. Nicholas is % cents a copy, or
$500 year.

Where Soldiers Are Hit.

His face has an area of fifty-six inch.
es and his neck of twenty-three inches
and out of every hundred men wound.
ed in battle fourteen will be wounded
in those parts of the body, whether the
combatant be in trench or behind q
tree or wall.
The trunk offers nearly four times az
large target, but it is usually protected
by some form of defence work, and il
therefore hit only nine times in hun.
dred.
AS Scraps says, it seems extraordi-
nary that the arms have as great an
area almost as the body. That is to
say, what the anatomist calls arms
which include the shoulders. They
measure 1926 inches, and receive thirty
out of the hundred hits. The reason
they are oftener wounded than the
body is that they have to be exposed SO
much in firing.
The legs, including the hips, have
the largest surface of all, measuring
422 square inches, or nearly twice as
much as the arms But they are near
ly always protected by breastworks
rising ground, trunks of trees, etc., and
so they are wounded only thirty-five
times out of the hundred.
When fighting at close quarters the
head and body suffers very severely,
and when fighting from behind trees
the arms, having to be put forward 10
fire, receive an unusual number OF
wounds.
A curious fact, which every veteran
knows to his cost, is that when the
ground is hard bullets are d, frc ed up
ward and wound the legs and lower
parts of the body, while If the ground
were soft, the bullets would bury them
selves in it'-New York Mail and Ex-

DEMOCRATIC opposition to annex
alton of Hawaii, which has become 80
pronounced since the reassembling of
Congress, is fully explained by story
that is being told among the knowing
ones in Washington. According to
this story, the democratic party has
been sold by its leaders in Congress to
the sugar trust, which all the world
knows is willing to spend an enormous
amount of money to prevent the annex
alton of Hawaii. The sugar trust has
agreed to furnish corruption fund
which the democratic leaders believe to
be large enough to enable them to elect
a democratic majority of the House
next year and democratic President
in 1900, if the democratic leaders can
succeed in preventing the annexation
of Hawaii, either through the ratifica-
ton of the treaty or by direct legisla-
ton. That is why the democratic
Senators, with two exceptions, are all
working against the ratification of the
treaty, and why the Democrats of the
House, in caucus, declared against an
nexation. But this disgraceful deal
cannot be carried out, because the
Democrats cannot prevent the annex.

CHAIRMAN DINeLEY's emphatic
statement in the House about the pros
pective revenues and expenditures of
the government, disposed of the whole
batch of misrepresentation as to re.
pubicans seriously considering legisla-
ton to furnish additional revenue. Of
course, everybody in Washington knew
that these stories were purely imagin-
airy and that the only object in circulat-
ing them was to discredit the admins
tration and the republican party. Mr..
Dingley did not simply make the as
sertion that the revenues of the gov
eminent would exceed its expenditures
by at least $40, 900 600 during the next
fiscal year, but backed his assertions
with figures which had the unqualified
endorsement of President Mckinley
and Secretary Gage. No legislation
providing more revenue is contemplated
by the republicans in Congress, for the
simple reason that none is needed the
Dingley law is steadily increasing the
revenue and will provide all the money
necessary to economically administer
the government.

The fact that seventy-two Republi-
can members of the House participated
in conference called after they had
signed paper stating that the confer
ence should consist "of such Republic
can members as favor the modification
of the civil service law, or of a more
honest enforcement of its provisions,
or more certain definition of the ex-
tent of its application" convinced even
the most doubling that there is seri-
GUS Republican opposition to continu-
ance of the present civil service situa-
ton. These Republicans believe in
real civil service reform, but not in the
sham article for which Mr.. Cleveland
is responsible, which covered with the
protecting cloak OF civil service reform,
thousands of Democrats who entered
the public service by the dismissal of
Republicans, for no other reason than
their Republicanism. Reduced to what
they consider it's legitimate function,
every one of these Republican repre-
sentatives would vote for a continu-
ance of the civil service law, but rather
