A letter from Cuba written by a
soldier in the volunteer army CRATE
fully acknowledges the receipt of a
night shirt sent him by loving
friends IN Gotham. He says: Near
ly every man in our regiment re-
ceived a night shirt from the La
dies Aid and they came IN handy
for cleaning guns, as the sand
and ram keep the rifles in bad
shape and rags are scarce. They
were all glad to get the shirts, as it
is better to have your gun in good
Shape than to sleep in a night
gown" This may seem a very rude
acknowledgment to the dainty
creatures who sat up nights and
wearied their taper fingers making
nighties for their volunteers, but it
may be a warning for thousands OF
gentle women who want to 'dO
something" for these husky fellows
at the front. Good guns and plenty
of grub fulfill the limit of their
wants, battle or bivouaC turns night

Superintendent Will Green Ordered
TO Texarkana.

to TeXaTkana.
The public will regret to learn
that the division superintendent OF
the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf has been changed from this
place to Texarkana-the order hav-
ing gone into effect on Tuesday.
This is one of the results of a suit
recently instituted by the great and
glorious state of Texas against the
road to compel it to comply with
certain outrageous laws in the Lone
Star State regulating railroads.
The Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf has but eighty-seven miles OF
track in Texas, yet it is compelled
to jump about at the bidding of the
state and do numerous things that
is bothunproftable and unpleasant.
Mr.. Green, the genial and efficient
superintendent, will remove his of
fee to Texarkana. lie has made a
great many warm friends here who
regret to see him go, but they
yield as gracefully as possible to the
inevitable and wish him well in his
old field with his new headquarters.

gentleman and the Times commeDds

kama to whose citizenship he will
be a valuable acquisition,-Shreve-

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Shreveport Times remarks: THE
acceptance by Spain of the pro
posed terms of peace necessitates
the convening of congress in extra
session. Unless that body is duly
impressed with the gravity Of the
situation to take prompt action,
considerable time is likely to be eX-
pended in the discussion. The most
potent and dignifed senators are
never hurried by circumstances,
however pressing, while the euthu-
siastic and democratic representa-
tives love to launch into flights of
oratory. The president should limit
the time as well as the subjects to
be considered, of the extra session.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear There is only one way tc
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutlonal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition oil
the mucous lining OF the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inAamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

A BURGLARS Mistake.

"When Hooked into the dining room
of house that I was in one night, y
said the retired burglar, 81 saw man
sitting in chair perched upon the din
ing room table. That seemed singular
place for man to get to sit, drunk or
sober, but I thought I'd have to give
him a chance to get tired of sitting
there and go to bed before I began, for
if didn't he might wake up any min
ute and interrupt things. So / took a
seat in big leather chair in the library,
next room, and waited for him to wake
up. When I'd waited what l thought
was reasonable time without hearing
from him, I looked in again, and there
he was, still sitting there, just the same.
.sBut this time, even in that light,
there was something peculiar about him,
and ventured to turn my own light on
him now, and then I saw that it WASH t
a man at all, but a suit Of clothes, With
a hat on top, set up there to dry after
being wet in the rain. The man that
had worn them had been abed and asleep
for hours, but his clothes had served for
a scarecrow mighty we'll, for I'd sat
there waiting for them tog go to bed SO
long that it was now too late for busl'
ness. ''-New York Sun.

There is tangible evidence that the

not entirely without sense of humor.
Back of Plymouth over the hill upon
which they planted their cannon is a
large fresh water pond, perhaps mile
in diameter, which, it appears from the
records, was discovered by John Bill
lington while he was prowling around
one night, probably on a scouting expe-
dition looking for Indians In the morn
ing he reported that be had found the
sea in that direction and there was a
lively dispute between him and the 9th
er pilgrims as to the accuracy OF his in
formation. He stuck to his theory with
the same tenacity that be adhered to his
religion, and to this day that pond is
called 'Billington's sea. - Chicago

There is much CT the slave and the
tyrant hidden in the nature OF woman.
Thus woman is not yet capable OF
friendship, but only Of love.
In the love of woman is injustice and
blindness tc all that SIZE does not love.
There are two things a true man
ines-danger and play. He likes WON
an because she is the most dangerous of
playthings.
4 man should be reared for the voca-
ton of q warrior; woman for the rec
reation of the warrior. AL else is rub
bish.
A woman's principle CT honor is to
love more than she is loved, SO as not
to be second
In any game where love OF hate is
rot at stake women play mediocre
part.
ALI women behind their personal
vanity cherish an impersonal contempt
for woman.
AS rule, mother loves herself in
her son more than the son himself.
The chief danger that besets artists
of genius lies in woman. The worship
ing woman is their ruin. Hardly one
has character enough to resist his ruin
when he finds himself treated like a
god. Man is coward in face Of the
ewig weibliche, and no one knows it
better than the small woman.

The Minnox Trap.

The minnow trap used for catching
minnows for bait is of glass, shaped like
a lar or a bottle without {. neck and Of
capacity of six or eight quarts. The
bottom of the trap rises in cone, like
the bottom Of champagne bottle, but
instead cf being solid the top of the
cone is cut off, making an opening in
the trap. The top Of the trap has >ver
it metal cap oa hinge. The e. is
perforated with number of holes to
permit Of the circulation Of water
through the trap.
The minnow trap is slrng horizon
tally in wire holder, which has ham
die on top, to which rope is made fast.
Suitable bait to attract minnows is
placed in the trap, which is then low
cred into the water. The cone with the
opening at the inner end in the bottom
is in effect like the opening into an eel
or fish trap. It is easy for the minnows
to get through it into the trap in search
of the bait, but hard for them to get
out. When the trap has been raised,
the captured minnows are got out by
opening the cap at the other end of the
trap.-New York Sun.

4 sraz,1,an indian Story.

Here is a Brazilian Indian story, says
the New York Times. The jaguar and
the monkey met The jaguar had lus-
cious bunch of plantains which the
monkey craved. 81 will gladly give you
the plantains, said the jaguar, pro
viding you catch a fawn for me. :"
"Agreed,' cried the monkey. but, y
added the jaguar, if you don't get the
fawn you must promise to let me bite a
mouthful out of you. '''" Agreed, I" once
more cried the gleeful monkey. The
monkey ate the plantains, and the little
matter about the fawn quite slipped his
memory.
Then one day the jaguar met the
monkey and insisted on taking his pay
out of the monkey s hide. The business,
becoming serious, was left to the pee
carl to decide. eft seems all right
enough said the peccari, "only this:
How am to determine what is the ex-
act size of a jaguar's mouthful and also
where is he to bite? He had better refer
the matter to the big snake" The big
snake took the subject under considera-
tion. His judgment was that he would
have to swallow the jaguar, the monkey
and the peccari. The jaguar and peccari
he did at once assimilate, but the mon
kew, being nimble, escaped.

Clothespins.

Clothespins are an American COM
modify. Some clothespins are made in
Sweden and in Scotland, but they are
big and clumsy, twice the size OF the
American pins and whitfield out by
hand. Clothespins are made chiefly OF
beech and of maple, but some are made
of tupelo wood. They are made entirely
by machinery, counted into boxes con-
tanning 720 each by machinery, and the
boxes are nailed up by machinery. 1t
might almos. be said that blocks OF
wood fed to machines at one end come
out boxed clothespins at the other. They
are made and sold wonderfully cheap.
There are two grades of clothesplns,
firsts and seconds. First grade pins can
be bought for 35 cents a box. The pro-
duction Of clothespins is enormous, mil
lions of boxes annually. The consump-
tion in this country keeps pace with the
growth of the population, and great
numbers are exported. Even people IN
the trade wonder what becomes OF all
the clothespins.

Strange Tastes.

One day while at Versailles during
the French war Lord Odo Russell Went
to call on Bismarck, but found him
closeted with Count Harry Arnim, who
was known as the cape" from his fan
tastical ways Before long Arnim came
out, tanning himself with his handker-
chief and looking as if about to choke.
"Well,'' he gasped, 81 cannot under
stand how Bismarck can bear that
smoking the strongest Havanas in a
stufy little room. I had to beg him to
open the window. -
When Russell entered the room, he
found the chancellor tanning himself
beside an open easement. "What strange
tastes some people have!" he exclaimed.
"Arnim has just been with me, and be
was so overpoweringly perfumed that l
had to open the window.

Vegetarian CrocodiIes.

A report by George Hoare, one of tbs
officials Of the British Central Africa
protectorate, summarized in the local
gazette, contains some curious details
of the crocodiles of Lake Chiuta. They
would seem to be strict vegetarians, for
not only have they never been known
to attack the men fishing in the lake,
but their tracks were shown by the
natives to the writer at a distance OF
several miles from its shores, whence
they are said to travel overland IN
search of roots. This is contrary to the
habits of all known species of croco-
diles, which are, in the first place,
purely carnivorous, and, in the second,
so helpless on land from their inability
to turn, except in large circle, that
they never leave the immediate vicinity
of their watery or muddy home. Efforts
will accordingly be made to obtain a
specimen of this abnormal type of the
formidable phibian.-London Tablet.
