COMFORTABLE IN DAMP
Seventh Army Corps Well Cared
for at Jacksonville

Jacksonville, Fla, June 22.-It may hs
" comfort to some Iowa, Wisconsin. New
''ersy, Illinois, Virginia, North Carolina
and Mississippi moehers to know that
their sons, serving here in Camp Cuba
l.ibie as members OF the Seventh ARMY
Corps, L. ). ". seems less likely To he
sick than If they Were at home, and are
not in any sense suffering hardships.
The Associated Press correspondent
just interviewed at random fully two
score privates, representing all the reei
ments. Not one complained. Then H..
saw number of officers. who EXPRESSED
decided satisfaction at their surround
ingS and supplies. Then Chief Surgeon
Maus took the correspondent TO the diyi-
sion hospital, pointing out, with gratifi.
cation, that the Inmates thereof Numbered
less than one per cent OF the total ranl,
and file DIR. Maus, who is of the regular
army and has no local prejudices. said
the camp is ideal. the water supply per-
rect a. 10 both quantity and quality, and
the climate actually salubrious. The
chief surgeon has many plans for caring
for the sick, aud of these plans number
are now in successful operation.
General Lee is well pleased, not only
with the camp and its condition. but with
the discipline and morality of the troops.
Prominent either point out that the men
at Jacksonville behave in such exempIa
ny fashion that they have earned the an
probation of all the residents. Nota sim
gle case OF biawling or insubordinotiou is
reported. 1t is we'll also to note that
prominent civilian physicians, agents for
the Red Cross and kindred organizations
join in all the compliments bestowed bv
their army confreres upon Camp Cuba
Libre.
There is room for full CORPS of TWEEN
Y-SeVen regiments in the presen camp
ana available ground adjoining, and the
place is easily accessible by rail.
All the men here seem anxious TO 90 TO
the front, anxiety is natural TO the Am
erican soldier, and is not fostered bv dis
comforts in their present habitat.

Party Alignment.

The PrOgresSistS of the Democrat
&c party adopted Il new policy at Chi
CagO, and the moss backs and con-
SeryatlveS, because it was new would
have none of it, and went mp Minel-
apolis and had comfortable tea
drinking together i'm the orthodox
conservative fashion. 1t has prob
ably not dawned ON these old fogies
yet that IF We had not adopted the
free silver platform the Republicans
would, and that they with this pop
ular doctrine-and the gold of the
manufacturers would have carried
the country with Il sweep.
They are all, every mothers son of
them, on record for free silver within
a period of fifteen years. Many of
them believe III it yet, but since 1t
bears the Democratic trademark they
must condemn it. Politics like his
tory is largely the result of accident.
and the most trivial circumstance
has of time changed the deslinies
and histories of countries.
In view of this recognized trans
position of the parties it is interest
ing to speculate on future ALL nments.
For instance: Which party will be
first to adopt as an article of politi-
cal faith a vigorous and progressive
foreign policy.

THE CAPTURE OF HAVANA
The Plan is to Cover Approach
and Starve Spanlards.

Washington. June 25.-Onicals say the
probable plan of attack on Havana will
be for the troops to surround the city and
take the table land in order to cover
every point of approach and conduct a
peaceful seige.
This would do away with large fatili-
lies and would follow an immediate at
tempt to starve the Spanish citadel. II

should be adopted.

Homemade Barometer.

One of the most serviceable and useful
articles about the farm is a good baro-
meter which will foretell nearly all the
changes in the weather. There is no rea
son why we should be without such a
useful instrument when we can procure a
first. class one at a cost OF about 80
cents. Many of the so called barometers
are OF little use on account OF the poor
quality Of the chemicals used. five buy
the chemicals ourselves we will be more
apt to get better instrument. Buy the
following from good chemist: One
ounce OF camphor. one ounce Of saltpetre,
one ounce of ammonia salts. and dissolve
them in Is drains of alcohol. Shake the
mixture we'll and pour into long slen-
der bottle and cork up tightly. Be sure
and have the bottle full. so there will be
little OF no air inside. Hang your baro'
meter on the north side OF building, or
some place not exposed to the sun. and
the following will be your weather indi-
cations: Absolute clearness OF the liquid
means lair weather. Thread-like objects
at the top OF the bottle indicate high
wind. If the liquid becomes roily it is a
sign of rain. Little stars in the liquid
mean hard storm. If downy masses
form in the bottom OF the bottle 1t will
be cold; the more these masses rise to
the top the colder it will become. Farm

One Good Habit.

When the whole world turns over a
new leaf, it seems timely to remind our
readers of one habit which we can COM
mend: 1t is the reading of The Boston
Herald. Some OF our patrons read The
Daily Herald and some OF them The
Sunday Herald. We would that all of
them read both The Sunday and The
Daily Herald. This prominently grea
newspaper, the greatest in New England,
has made the greatest record Of its re-
cord breaking career. In every depart
ment it has made unmistakable advance
ment. In its makeup it meets every re-
quirement of the residing public. From
the smallest item of local news, to the
create st events of the day it omits moth
ing, and yet in its great pages finds room
for stories, incidents and anecdotes,
which seems marvellous when one con-
siders the demands upon it's columns.
The Sunday Herald is greater and
broader than ever before, and every page
is frightened by timely. welldrawn illus.
trations. During the past year The Bos-
ton Herald in its various editions has
published nearly 10000 illustrations
Certainly the reading of The Boston
Herald is to be commended. Are you a
Herald reader? Ifnot. why not become
one during 1892 1t is your last chance

An Audacious Swindler.

A ward politician of New York has
Just distinguished himself as one OF the
most audacious swindlers on record. In
spite of the fact that he is not Roman
Catholic he had the presumption to 90
to Rome and ask the Pope to appoint
him trustee of all the church property in
the Philippine Islands. amounting to the
enormous sum of $200.000,000. 1t
seems that this man Thornton by name
prepared himself Tor his project with
scrupulous care. He first went to the
State department at Washington. where
through the request of Senator Murphy
he secured the ordinary letters OF intro
duction to ministers and consuls abroad,
He next used these letters to secure an
interview with. Archbishop Corrigan
who gave him credentials to Cardinal
Rampolla on the superstition that he
was an agent of the government. he
then visited the Vatican and, having Sc
cured an audience with the Pope. was
progressing finely when Arch. bishop
Keane arrived in Rome and exposed him
as an impostor. This incident only goes
to show how far an impostorcan succeed
when he takes advantage OF the general
disposition Of men to jump at conclu'
sions.-[ Burlington Free Press.

Fishes don't close their eyes, because
there is no necessity for their doing it..
They have no eyelids, because their eyes
are not exposed to dust as ours are.
They don't close their eyes in sleep be-
