THE rIAUSER BULLET.
Low Wounds Made from 1t Differ
from the Old Kind.

from the Old Kind.
Ever since the Mauscr bullet was in
vented and so generally adopted by the
different nations of the civilized world.
men who follow the military and sur
gical professions have been anxious for
an opportunity to study it in a practical
application such as war alone affords.
Col. j. Herbert Stevens, physician
ard surgeon who has been in Cuba
many months, has observed the effects
of this bullet. He says there is no
hope for the soldier who stands behind
n tree for protection when this bullet is
used, for it passes through the trunk of
q tree with as much apparent ease as
it would through cheese. Men struck
by Mauser bullets have been known to
continue fighting to the end of the bat
tie, even after: they had received what
is generally supposed to be mortal
wound. In almost every case this bul.
let passes clear through the victims
body, and the wound of exit is usually
no larger than that of entrance.
The old-fashiOned bullet usually
whirled round and round, tearing the
tissues. arteries. muscles and flesh, and,
If coming in contact with u bone, shat
tering it in splinters. The wound of
exit, too. would generally. be large
enough to insert a mans fist.
Whenever n man was hit in the arm
or leg by one of these bullets it was
almost always necessary to perform
amputation, if the victim did not die
1>afo
the Mauser bullet all this is said to be
different. 81.
Experience in the Cuban war has
demonstrated that only very infre-
quently does a wound caused by a
Mauser bullet result in hemorrhage
which might be fatal, except where one
of the great arteries has been torn or
severed.
A case in point may be cited: A
Cuban soldier was shot through the
right lung--a wound which, if caused
by an, ordinary bullet, would be consid-
cred fatal--but the Cuban went on
fighting for two hours after knowing
he had been hit. There was practically
no hemorrhage, and, with such surgical
treatment as could be given him. even
in the very limited hospital department.
of his army, he was up and about in
eight days after the battle.
Another remarkable case is that of a
man who was shot through the leg, be-
low the knee. The bullet passed through
the flesh, muscles and bone, and yet the
man. kept on fighting for some hours
after receiving the wound, not realizing
that he was seriously injured. After
the battle he was attended to by sur
geon. 1t was found that the bone had
not been splintered, and there was no
hemorrhage, and in q very few days the
soldier was up and about with his COM
patriots.
If this wound had been made by an Or
dinary bullet it would very probably
have "mushroomed" and torn the tis-
sues, arteries and flesh and splintered
the bones, necessitating amputaion.
The use of the Mauser bullet by the
Spanish, perhaps, accounts for the very
small mortality in the ranks of the in
surgents, and it is because the latter
use the old-fashioned bullets, and al
most any kind of a firearm they can get
hold of, that they wreak havoc with the
Spanish whenever they come together

WHITES EvlCTED BY INDIANS.
Reversal of Ancient Usage on n Maine
Reservation.

eehSFN
The Tarratines, o tribe of Indians,
have decreed that every white person
now living on the reservation, which is
an island in the Penobscot, near Town,
Me-, shall Immediately leave the reser-
v;ltion and find quarters clscShe
This final edict has been brought about
by the marriage of Nine. Bishop. the
white soothsayer of the tribe. Mrne.
Bishop is well known throughout the
state, and has many followers who
thoroughly believe in her prophecies.
Her mother gave her to the Indians that
they might adopt her. She grew up and
married an Indian, and is the mother of
a large family. A few years ago she be-
came widow, and from that time until
recently she has had a respected place
in the councils of the tribe. She has
for many years made trips through the
state, telling fortunes by q peculiar
system, entirely original
While she remained II widow the In
dians were proud of her, but she mar
ried q white man, and by that incurred
the displeasure of the Indians, which
increased when she had n fine residence
erected on land leased from the tribe
and took her new husband there 10
live.
The sachems in solemn council have
declared her residence and all of her
property forfeited, and have ordered
her to leave the island without delay.
All other white people living ON the
island must go, too. Many white per-
sons who have married Indian braves
OF squaws and are living on the reserva-
tion will be greatly inconvenicnced by
the enforcement of the edict. The
tribe sent a delegation here to consult
Judge F. Whiting in regard to using
force in banishing the palefaces from
the island, but he declined to act as
counsel.-Detroit Free Press,

Good Money Is Good Anywhere.

While government can within its
territory define that which shall con-
stitute legal tender in satisfaction of
contracts past and future, it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value Of
its money. for money is commodity,
and its value is determined in the mar
kcts of the world under the laws of
trade, and the laws of trade like the
laws OF nature, are stronger and more
far-reaching than any constitutions or
statutes The best money is the moaey
OF greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is eXchangeable at par,
not only in the country from whose
mint it is issued, but also in the mar
kets of the world.

The San Jose Scale.

In the entomologist' report from the
New Jersey agricultural station occurs
these recommendations for treating the
San Jose scale:
Destroy all infested stock whenever
practicable. Spray thoroughly with fish
oil soap. the pound to the gallon, as
soon as the trees become dormant, and
again in early spring, before the buds
begin to swell, using two pounds to the
gallon. Cut back or prune treated trees
few days after spraying, SO as to leave
no more wood than is absolutely neces-
sary for the use of the tree and crop
On scaly trees use whitewash literally
throughout the summer, keeping the
trunks and branches covered with lime
as thoroughly as possible.

One of the most striking indications
Of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal sentiment
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association of the Unit
ed States. Mr.. A. B. Farquhar, an ex-
tensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York. Pa, is at the head
Of the movement
1t is we'll known that i'll the manu.
facture Of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far In advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are well able to take care
of themselves All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at disadvantage.
A great list of other industries are
practically in the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their petit
tion to the senate, declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protectionists = namely,
that protection is in the interest Of
American labor-is shown by census
figures to be sham. OF the 5,00O, 900
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it is shown in the pc
tition that less than 200, 900 are en-
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and GIG, 900 in
occupations subject to moderate for
eign competition. The remainder, over
1900, 900, do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor.
1t is very plain that the Dingley bill
is not designed, any more than any other
high protective measure was designed,
to protect American labor or to pro-
dnce revenues for the government 1t is
designed primarily - protect the trusts
and to foster monopoly Baltimore

"a License to steal. .

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statistician Carroll d. Wright fur
nished that body last week concerning
the labor cost of lumber in this country
and in Canada. His figures showed that,
while the average wages in Canadian
sawmills is $l41 and $1.7I per day
here, the average labor cost of /, 600
feet of lumber is ST.. in Canada and
only 81 cents here. The decreased cost
of production i'll this country is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
OF course the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost Of pro-
duction-that low wages are very often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer Of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get tariff on Canadian lum-
Der SO that they can the more effectuaIly
rob Americas consumers. Protectionists

High Duties On Buttons.

The button manufacturers, present
and prospective, are unusually greedy
in their demands for tariff duties. Nc
Kinley duties are entirely too slow for
the button infants. The following is
part of a statement made by button i'm
porters:
The proposed duties ON buttons, as
per schedule of the finance committee
of the senate, are as rule prohibitory
and would prove a severe hardship ON
goods used by the poorer and middle
classes, and also to manufacturers of
various garments used by the mass Of
our people, such as low priced shirts,
underwear, clothing, etc The follow
ing data will give some idea of the in
equalities of the proposed duties:
