 Another new candidate for public ia yor in Alaska has appeared. This time it is the News, published at Wrangel by Mcbride & Henshaw. It is five column, eight-page paper, and presents a very nice appearance indeed.

 The first issue of the Fort Wrangel News is at hand. It is big, naughty, independent sheet, full of good things, and bears the ear marks of men who understand their business. There is a real gem III the salutatory. It is this: ''As to politics we are not in it." The paper is edited and published by A. G. Mcbride and Fred l.. Henshaw. Mr. Heushaw was for about six years on the staff of the Review and has an expert ence of twenty years in the newspaper business. He will no doubt prove a valuable acquisition to Wrangel, not so much we apprehend, on the line of SUI perintending orthodox Sunday schools as in the more substantial realm of hard listed business. Mir. Henshaw will make a high-up mark on the Wrangel liberty pole.-Seattle Review.

The Newest Bustle.

A corset has just been invented with
a self-adjusting hustle attachment.
which corrects all the faults of the old
hustle, and yet is a hustle still. 1t
opens and shuts, and when closed it
is so small that it may be easily slip
ped in a corset box after the corset
has been packed. 1t is a curious look
ing little affair, made of four pieces
OF steel, covered with ~sateen, and may
may be easily adjusted to conform to
the natural outlines of the figure. The
hustle is as light as a feather and is
fastened to the corset just below the
waist line, where a hollow is generally
seen in the average figure. The corset
is provided with little straps, and the
hustle is attached to it by means of
four fasteners. The two lower fas-
teners are SO arranged that they cause
the hustle to add to the fullness of
the hips, and at the same time they
remedy the faults of the back. The
corset is not unlike the other c~orsets,
Win the exception that it is specially
REINFORCED with triple strips to pre-
vent the bones and steels from cut
ting through the material. Another
advantage of this corset hustle is that
it Is n of the cheapest Of the we'll
made corsets in the market. 1t can
be bought ready made, of course, in
white, gray and black, or can be a
more expensive made-to-order affair
of brocaded satin or embroidered ba'
tiste.-New York Journal.

THE "DUM-DUM" BULLET.
German Military Experts Favorable View
of Its E6ecta.

German Military Experts Favorable View
of It's Effects.
DR.. Won Bruins, professor of interna-
tional law at Tubingen university. re-
Gently published a pamphlet, in which
he pleaded, in the interests of hui
manity, for an international inter-
diction Of the "dum-dum" bullet, says
the London Mail. The professor ac-
knowledged that the use Of the bullet
was justified in the colonial or Indian
wars, where the fight is generally at
close quarters, and often between man
and man, Inc where it is a question OF
European totally disabling his oppo-
nent or being at once struck down
himself. In wars between Europeans,
however, where the combatants are
generally far apart, the professor con-
siders that the bullets in question are
no only unnecessarily inhuman, but
are less effective than ordinary bull
lets. Surgeon-General DR.. Korting,
surgeon-in-chief of the list German ar
my corps, who has been carefully study
ing the reports of the Italian hospital
corps on It's experiences in the late
campaign against Abyssinia, now writes,
says our Berlin correspondent, as fol-
lows: THE Italian projectile (soft lead,
copper mantle, 6.5 nm. calibre), with
great penetrating power. produced
small inlet and outlet apertures, bone
fractures, and altogether a smooth
wound canal. On the other hand, the
hard lead projectiles Of the Abyssini-
ans (Gras and Remington, eleven mill
limeters) exploded in the soft parts
and shattered the bones. The effect
was that Abyssinians, even when shot
in several places, we're able to cor
tinue fighting. Out of a hundred Abys-
sinians who applied for relief to the
captured Italian doctors 8 per cent
presented themselves without any sup
port, in spite of the fact that some of
them were shot through the breast.
In reality only those men who had
been wounded by artillery were
brought on stretchers. Within three
weeks thousands of Abyssinians were
healed in spite OF the primitive band
aging. The results on the italian
side were infinitely less favorable. The
troops of the Negus had also soon dis
covered that the small caliber weapon
used by the Italians was absolutely in
adequate, and when they were given
the muskets and ammunition captured
from the Italians they filed through
the copper-end covering Of the bullets
in order to increase their efficacy. The
English troops. did exactly the same
thing and for the same reason during
the Chitral campaign, w%hereupon a
tremendous storm Of indignation arose,
which penetrated even to the congress
hall Of the Berlin surgeons. l am of
an another opinion. The war expert
ences referred to above show rather
that the minimum caliber has been
reached, and that in 4 number of
cases sufficient to influence the result
of the battle the mantled bullet OF
muskets under SO millimetres does
not suffice to put the enemy 'hors de
combat The filing through the point
OF a mantled bullet is, in my opinion
an act of self help against an enemy
on whom the unimpaired bullet does
not inflict sufficient injury"

"The grandest thing in having
rights" George Macdonald once said,
sis that, being your rights, you can
give them up" That such generosity
has it's own reward is instanced in a
tale of two generals recently retold
at Mortified. During General Sher-
mans campaign in the South he chang
ed certain commanders, and General
Howard was promoted to lead a spe-
cial division. The night before the
grand review in Washington, Sherman
sent for his subordinate and said to
him: Howard, the political friends
of the mar you succeeded are bound
that he shall ride at the head of his
corps, and l want you to help me out
at is my command" said Howard,
"and I am entitled to ride at its head"
"Of course you are" replied Sherman.
"You led them through Georgia and
the Carolinas; but, Howard, you are
a Christian, and can stand the disap-
pointment." Putting it on that
ground, there is but one answer Lei
him ride at the head of the corps."
'Yes, let him have the honor" added
Sherman, "but you will report to me al
9 o'clock and ride by me at the head OF
the whole army" In vain Howard
protested; but Sherman said, gently
but authoritatively, You are under
my ORDERS" and so at Sherman's side
he led in the grand review.
