Many Things puzzle me. One Is how
could Spain Stay 100000 Cuban soldiers
when statistics show there were but
$1,000 10 begin with? Another is, what
was the size OF the Mayfower that
enough furniture came over IN her 10
furnish half million houses? Another
Is, by what arithmetlcal progression are
the descendants Of those few people
who came over in the celebrated May
flower computed whereby their name is
leglnn2 Another still s. how did the
blood Of so much English nobility and
gentry get dlr'used through the south?
Did they use the modern method for
the TRANSMISSION OF blood, or the one
pFaotieea In Africa by Stanley, or the
new one now used In Turkey by the sui
tan? These are puzzling questions that
require years Of study 10 unravet An
other peculiar feature Of the modern
Anglo-Saxon, or Angl0-N0rman, or
PeTcheron, Is the scorn with which they
treat the descendants OF Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob As the majority Of
these Judeans can trace their geneOlOgy
back to Adam, and their family tree
was the one spoken OF as being In the
garden Of Eden, why are they treated
thus by the people who would take the
skin on the shoes Of a modern English
peer? But life In all It's functions Is a
queer admixture OF all mixtures Just
think OF one woman whose great-grand-
father was a butcher, baker or can
dIestick maker turning up her pretty
nasal organ at one whose grandfather
was also OF the same manufacture.
But woman, coy uncertain and hard TO

Anyone at q Chalybeate Spring and
writing about blood naturally thinks of
that great German, Otto Won Bismarck,
the Man OF Blood and Iron" The ma

designation he IL and was q cruel and
blOodthlrsty wretch. He was simply
man Of unusual physical strength, with
a brain nOurished with rich, red blood
full Of its most important constituent
element, iron, which enabled him to
Withstand all kinds OF mental and phys
lcal strains, at any and all times, and
under any and all circumstances. Men
and women OF blood and iron are wheat

This spring has an Inviting history
which in brief is as follows; II was a
part Of grant OF one hundred thousand
acres OF land from George III. to one
Col. Lewis, gentleman, In 1856. II went
through various hands, from Thomas
and Alexander Lewis to John Kelly, the
celebrated contractor OF tunnels on the
Chesapeake a. Ohio In this section.
Kelly gave 100000 for 1t and made the
finest swimming pools OF any OF the
resorts. 1t now belongs to his estate
but is leased by Col, y. f. Eakle, who
