SPANISH TROOPS
The Duke of Wellington said They
Would Fire and Run, But Would
Never stand Their Ground

find in the Croker Papers" a pas
sage which may be considered of sufi--
cient interest at the present time to be
reproduced. For more than 40 years
the Great Duke had been on intimate
terms of friendship with Mr.. Croker,
aa'i made call upon him ten days be-
fssre his death. Croker made a memo
randum of his conversation, a part of
which turned upon the value of the
Spanish troops which he had for alliea
in the peninsula campaigns. Mr..
Croker. it will be remembered, was Sec
retary of the admiralty, and was in
Paris with the allies of the battle of
Waterloo. Here is an extract from
his memorandum of the interview of
September II, 1852:
reminded him that one day in Paris,
when the emperor of Russia and king
of Prussia dined with him, something
was suggested that might have been
better done at Waterloo, and he said:
''Yes. could have done it if l had 10000
of my Old Spanish infantry" Castle
reagt was by, sitting near me, and said:
What can he mean? He never said a
word to us of those Spaniards during
the whole peninsular war but that they
were worse than nothing"
Duke-Oh, yes; l remember. had
in my youth read of the old Spanish in
fantry as the finest soldiers in the world,
till they were cut to pieces and de-
stroyed in one, think, of the great
Condos battles; and this name "old
Spanish infantry" had taken hold of
me, and l used to call my old English
regiments who were serving with me
in the peninsula the old Spanish in
fantry. This gave rise to Castlereagh's
mistake, which remember made us
laugh.
Croker-Did you ever see Spanish
troops really stand to their work and
fight?
Duke-No; the best would fire vol
ley while the enemy was out of reach,
and then all ran away. They were, no
doubt, individually as brave as other
men. | am sure they were vain enough
of their bravery, but never could get
them to stand their ground.-Boston

Costly Coal business.

A short time ago a newspaper man
sat in the office of prominent river
coal operator, talking about current
events. A messenger entered and
handed the operator a telegram. He
continued the conversation with the re-
porter while he leisurely perused the
contents of the message. The news
paper man did not notice any change in
the operators demeanor, and inquired
if there was an item of news in the
message. ooh, yes" said the operator,
handing the reporter the message,
which read that certain boat owned
by this operator had lost nearly all her
tow by sinking it in the Mississippi
river. The reporter asked about how
much the loss would be, and the answer
was: "About $10,000." The operator
resumed his conversation as though
nothing had happened. 1t was after
ward learned that the receiving of such
reports is a matter of such frequent
occurrence in the coal business, Some
men would have tainted at such news,
but the river coal business is great
deal of a hazard, and one must have
the spirit of the gambler to engage in it.

What the Ex-Congressman Says of

Hon. Joseph G. Sibley of Pensyl

to IN inquiry of Justice Massey of
the Supreme Court:
"Valcour, Clinton Co. N. Y.

Hon. W. A. Massey, Carson City

Stewards defeat would, in my hum

nifty. To me and to thousands of
others in the east, he more than any
other living man has stood 'as The
Shadow of Mighty Rock For the
cause of the people he has worked
with a superhuman energy. He has
fought when others quailed. He
has carried the colors forward when
others sought for compromise. He
has never let side questions divert
him from the one great issue. When
others were contend to defend he has
always been ready to lead in an
attack He has made the path of the
gold monometallists a thorny one.
He has rebuked and opposed them
by name in his place in the Senate
and to my mind he is "the noblest
Roman of them ALL" "With his
great mental powers he has also

The Thanksgiving Turkey.

The Woman's Home Companion offers
the following suggestions on the turkey
question:
There Is O very general impression
that hen turkeys are better than g0D-
blers, but such Is not the case when the
birds arc under a year old; until that
age Is past the cock, or gObbler, Is more
highly and finely favored than the hen.
A small turkey Is never satisfactory;
only at twelve pounds (city dressed) do
they begin to be fine. In small towns,
where they are properly dressed
drawn, with head and feet removed
ten pounds would mean the same.
BE sure your bird is young Avoid
those that are yellow, fat, with rough
legs and hard spurs. One heavy for Its
size. of a blue cast, smooth legs, soft,
only budding spurs, flexible end TO
breast-bone, and skin easily pierced
between the finger nails, is the bird you
want. Whatever dressing you use
(oyster or chestnut is best) do not have
It too moist, and do not all the turkey
more than two-thirds full otherwise
you will have o soggy solid, indigesti-
BILE mass as a result. The baking and
roasting must be a long and slow opera
ton after the first browning, and IL the
patent-covered baking-pan Is not used,
an ordinary dripping pan must be used
as cover. The bastlng must be fire.
Quent--every fifteen minutes-and thor
ough II you would have the meat juicy
-Four hours Is about the proper time
for a fourteen-pound turkey, In a mod
crate oven. When served, your turkey
Is right If OF a dark, rich brown all
over, without a suggestion of scOrch,
Juicy in appearance, and though whole,
ready to fall apart at light touch of
the carver. Before placing In the oven
rub all over with good butter and dredge
heavily with -four seasoned with pepper
and salt. The basting should be melted
butter and hot water or stock"

gall. Rinse until no color runs. Iron on
the wrong side.
SILK handkerchief and ribbons should
be washed In salt and water and ironed
wet TO look well.
Yellow spots on the linen or cotton
produced by the iron may be removed
by setting them In the broiling sun.
VeIvets should be held over the steam
OF boiling water and kept we'll stretched
until the moisture has eVaporated.
When ammonia Is used to remove
stains on coIored fabrics, IL the color
is dulled, a little weak oXalic acid Will
restore 1t.
An excellent starch for dark clothes,
blue CalicOes, ETC., Is made by using
cold coffee left from breakfast, instead
OF pure water. Make the starch as usual.
Colored mushns should be washed in
a lather Of cold water. II the muslin be
green add little vinegar to the water,
II lilac little ammonia, If black a little
salt.
A heaped-up tablespoonful OF chloride
Of lime mixed with one quart OF water
will remove mildew. Rinse the cloth
in clear water as soon as all the spots
have disappeared.
To cleanse white face veil, dip 1t
up and down in lukewarm water to
which a little ammonia has been added
Then rinse in clear tepid water and
spread 1t upon a mirror or window pane
Patience and care must be exercised
IL the edges are scallOped so that each
point will keep its original form. The
best method Is to hold the scalloped edge
Of the veil in the hands during the wash
ing; then the scallops will not get so
badly out of shape.
AS delicate looking as are feathers
Of light shade, they can be freshened
and cleaned If only one knows how

them In cold water and beat them across

Acids, as a rule, should be given
between meals. Acids given before
meals check the excessive secretion OF
the acids of the gastric juice.
Iodine or the iodides should be
given on an empty stomach. If given
during digestion the acids and starch
alter and weaken their action.
Irritating and poisonous drugs, such
as salts of arsenic, copper, zinc and
iron, should be given directly after
meals.
Oxide and nitrate of silver should
be given after the process OF diges-
ton is ended if given during or close
after meals, the chemicals destroy or
impair their action. Potassium per
manganate, also, should not be given
until the process of digestion is ended,
as organic matter decomposes it and
renders it inert.
The active principal of the gastric
juice is impaired and rendered inert
by tannin and pure alcohol, hence
they should never be given until after
the close of digestion.
Malt extracts, cod-liver oil, thephos-
phate, etc, should be given with or
directly after food.
Remember that drugs of any sort
should never be given without the adj.
vice of physician f; but after special
tonic has been prescribed, these rules
should be born in mind as to the best
time for administering it. - Home
