ENROLLED FOR CUBA

BY GENERAL /. w. COLBY.

No Difficulty Expected from Spanish Gum

eion.- How Money Can BE Raised.
The organization Ct an army Of Amer
lean volunteers in aid of the Cuban re-
public has been completed, so far as the
enrolling of 10, 600 men is concerned,
aud the obtaining of the requisite sup
plies is advancing rapidly. The plans
of General L. W. Colby, the commander
of the army, have only partially been
made public. He has selected rendez-
vous outside the territory Of the United
States for arming, equipping and mobi-
lizing the troops, where there will be
no danger of interference from our gov
srnment and no violation Of any federal
on state statutes.
The plan in general is to safely land
on Cuban soil an American volunteer
legion Of not less than $4,000 ablebod-
led men, Of which 10000 will be in
fantry, 1000 cavalry and 1000 artil-
lery. In 20 states and territories there
have already been companies organized,
and others are being formed The infan
try will be armed with the springfield
breechloading rifles, the cavalry Will
springfield carLincs, and the artillery
will lie composed Of four batteries o.
six guns each--stoel, brass and hotch
kiss guns-and each infantry regimen
win have gatling gun section attached
The cost required for arming, equip
ping, rationing and transporting is estl
mated at 81, 100000.

Robert H. Davis tells in Gameland
how two buck Indians of the northwest

bear one day while he was still huht-

hunter alarmed the bear, and IT ran 10
a /. 900 foot cliff and took refuge III
hole there. The student climbed up lOo

rocks down about the hole, thinking to
drive the bear out, but the bear would
not start. Then he went to IA nearby IN
dian camp and got Trinity Dlck ana q
pitt river Indian who said they would

would let them take the rifle. The stu

which he disposed OF TO jewelers. OF the

sometimes will run up To l03 degrees. Now,
this temperature is necessary TO carry on
digestion in perfectly healthful way.
Constant drinking of ice water during the
meal or an ice at the close of the meal will
reduce the temperature of the stomach
sometimes to 05 degrees, which would stop
digestion and sooner or later render one
confirmed dyspeptic. Water of an ordinary
temperature is not SO Objectionable. In
fact, it would be better to take a swallow
of water now and then during the meal
provided the water is cool, not iced. Foods
that are slightly diluted are more easily
digested than those which are concentrated

When George Peabody 30 years ago put
In trust 81, 900, 600 to be spent in further.
ing education in the United States, he
made undoubtedly the wisest provision for
the public good that any similar benefac
tor ever made. President Gilman, chair
man Of the board, sets forth the history
and results of this great fund in The At.
lantic. In the first place he used uncom
mon wisdom in selecting the board of trus
tees. Although the war had but recently
ended and men were violently divided in
their opinions, he was broad enough to So.
lect alike men from the north and men
from the south. He was wise enough not
to restrict their action, but to allow them
to apply the money to education as they
pleased, expressing simply his conviction
that it would serve the best purpose by
stimulating educational work that was al.
ready begun instead of founding new In
situations.
Three presidents of the United States
two chief justices of the supreme court
and number of other most eminent mor
have felt it an honor to serve on thi'
board. 1t has been proved, therefore, thai
