A Digestib1e Dry Toast.

One might suppose the obstacles to
making good dry toast almost insur-
mountable, so rarely Is it accomplished
The failure to do SO centers In the dry
ing, not in the toasting process It is
perfectly simple, but requires intelli-
gent attention, like any other desirable
results in cooking. The drying must
be slowly done and never in a heat
sufficient to change the color Of the
bread. After breakfast cut some bread
slices, lay them on a rack or stand them
around the sides Of dripping pan, and
place them in the warming oven, if it
is under the large oven, when the heat
is very moderate. If there is fire a good
part of the day (as in the ordinary
kitchen) the slices will be just ready
for toasting the next morning for
breakfast. Or bread may be more
quickly dried in an open baking oven
(the fire being moderately, or it may be
placed in the oven when the fire is
dying down in the evening and the
stove partially cool. Then the oven
door may be closed, and the morning

Taxes Paid by Railways.

The preliminary report of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission for 1891
shows that last year the railways of
the country paid S40.979,933 in taxes.
All companies had not reported, but
compared with the preceding year the
report shows that on about 1000 miles
less of road in 1897 than in 1896 the
railways paid about $4,000, 900 more of
taxes. The total dividends paid dur
ing the year were S57 ,290,579. Out Of
every 81 cents earned by the railways
therefore, above expenses, 81 cents was
profit and 40 cents went in taxes. In
the Central Southwestern States (Kan-
sas, Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado, Ok
lahomo and Indian Territory the taxes
exceeded dividends by over one MILL
ion. In New England and the northern
Eastern States dividends largely ex-
ceeded the taxes. The report shows that
In the densely populated States the
railways could pay more taxes than
they do, but that in the less populous
States of the middle and West the taxes
are already in excess Of the profits from
the business.

Latitude in Homeopathy.

The homeopathic practitioner of the
quarter of the century preceding the
one in which we are now working was
not only not instructed in any method
of prescribing drugs, but the homeo-
pathic, but he was taught to abhor all
aid that could not be traced to alleged
homeopathy and to homeopathy alone.
AS result the practitioner either be-
came a hypocrite-secretly adopting
other methods than the homeopathic
or he became fanatic EXCLUSIVES, or
he openly and honestly acknowledged
his application of all things which ap-
pealed to his judgment, and thereby
earned from his fanatical brethren the
unjust stigma of "mongrel." At the
present time, owing to the general toll
erance, the practitioners of the last
kind far outnumbering the others.
We have outgrown sectarianism- We
have at last reached a high ethical
plane from which we can proclaim the
fact that we are physicians who reserve
to ourselves the right to draw from
every field Of mental achievement that
which will aid in the healing of the
sick, whether these contributions are
from mechanics, from chemistry, from
bacteriology, or from the charmed cir
Gle Of homeopathy. We believe in al
lopathy in antipathy, and in homeo-
pathy, each in it's own place, and with
a scientific reason for our beliefs, and
we want the whole world to know Il.
The progressive physician Of to-day
is not an exclusivist; common sense
forbfds, science forbids. He can ignore
nothing; he must keep everlastingly at
it, hunting for some soul of good"
This good he finds in empiricism, in
rationalism and in the law of similars.
This progressivism is not orthodoxy,
but 1t is truth, and is it not truth of
which we are all in search? What If
in following truth we are led away from
homeopathy? 1t matters not. Every
practitioner Of experience knows there
are cases which demand at times GER
tain other measures than those pre-
scribed by homeopathy He knows he
is at all times compelled to resort to
these other methods. He should, there
fore, be prepared to accept such facts
and be properly qualified to meet them
by studied familiarity with the cir
cumstances and conditions of the ap-
pIication of all the useful methods
known to therapeutics.-Dr E. G. Price

Revived on the Dissecting Table.

The dissecting-room of the Military
Hospital of Algiers has just witnessed
the resuscitation of soldier who had
been supposed to be dead for three
days. 1t was at the very moment when
the professor of surgery was about to
dissect the supposed corpse that the
soldier suddenly awoke from a pro-
longed lethargy. The three persons
who witnessed the scene were struck
with such amazement that they were
at first unable to do anything. 1t was
not till after they had seen the sup
posed corpse quietly slip off the marble
slab on which he was to have been
dissected, and go into an adjoining
room to write few words on a sheet
Of paper to assure himself that he was
really alive and awake, that the doctor

TROOPS WILL LIE OUTSIDE.
Cannot Land at Santiago Until Shore
Is Shelled.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June lS
(via Kingston, Jamaica, June 19).-Sev-
elal attempts to find landing places
for United States troops within a dis
tance Of twenty miles west of Santa
go have demonstrated, along with
previous inquiries to the eastward
that the shore for fifteen miles is lined
with Spaniards. While this will not
prevent a landing close to Santiago, it
may entail considerable delay, as the
surrounding country must be thorough
ly Shelled and cleared before the
troops can land in safety.
When Rear Admiral Sampson yester-
day received advices that upwards of
thirty transports would be here today
Saturday., he sent word that they
should stand to the south ten miles
and lie there until a landing place had
been secured.
Yesterday at daylight the launches
of the New York and the Massachu-
setts reconnoitered the shore between
Cabanas, two miles west of the en-
trance to Santiago harbor, and Quay
aganaco, two miles further west, both
of which points lie east of the range
of mountains surrounding Santiago
bay. The launches pushed into hor-
nets nest. The brush was fairly alive
with Spanish troops, infantry and
cavalry, who opened fire, which was
SO fierce that the launches retired to
be covered by the Vixen and Texas.
When the Texas asked permission
of Commodore Schley to take a hand,
the commodore seized the megaphone
and shouted to Capt. Philip: "Yes, go
in an give 'em -, Jack"
The Texas landed two shots at the
battery, completely demolishing it.
Lieut.. Sharp and Lieut.. Harlow, in
command of the launches, were both
commended by Admiral Sampson for
gallantry.
GARCIA WILL ASSIST.
1t is said the insurgents, who are in
force and under command of Gen Gar
cia about fifteen miles further west,
will render effective aid in driving the
Spanish skirmishers off the shore.

namo, army men and navy men, too,
believe that the regiments of the army
will soon demonstrate their fitness to
do up" the Spaniards in conflict To
the marines the experience they have
been having was new Not one in
ten of them has ever had anything ex-
cept barrack experience, varied by
duty on board ship in piping times of
peace. The infantry and cavalry of
the army have had some fighting eX-
perience. They have learned on the
plains some lessons about tackling foes
who skulk and run, and who indulge
in ambushes.
NO CHANCE TO LOSE.
For many reasons merely suggested
here army officers look for interesting
reports as soon as Gen. Skaters men
get ashore and are afforded chance
to use their Krag-Jorgensen rifles.
"If," said one of them today, there
is any Spanish force to be found in
the open or in the bush, our infantry
men and dismounted cavalry will find
and fight them with good appetite, re-
gardless of the weather. Only those
who have come in contact with the
regular of the plains know anything
about him.
Unless Blanco and Pando have been
concealing the good qualities of their
fighting men, and thus have deceived
us to lead us on, it is my opinion that
in the first engagement our troops will
make 1t plain that in an open field or
even protected by works the men of
the United States forces will outmatch
them. Our men will prove SO superior
that we will wonder very soon why
