Much of the Red Cross work will for
a time at least be devoted to the in
terests of the men now in camp at
Ramsey Strange as it may seem to
those not Informed in such matters
there is much needed at a new camp
which is not and will not be provided
by the government.
In years gone by this work was not
done with the system with which it
is now covered, and there are many
who are wont to say: I'VE didn't have
this or that" or, in other words, eX-
press contempt for the work being
done by the Red Cross, feeling that the
men go into the army knowing that
there are hardships to encounter and
that the sooner they become accus-
toned to it the better. But, if the
lives Of the men who are fighting for
their country can be made any bright
er or the dangers from disease or eli
mate guarded against any better than
in years gone by, surely the time and
money put into the Red Cross work
is not useless, and the United States
army is all the better for it.
The Red Cross work in ST. Paul has
grown with much rapidity, and each
day sees its donations of money and
cloth and it's new workers at the head
tie at Santiago came last week it was
not surprising that there should be
new faces gathered about the busy
sewing machines, or that the week
should see more donations than any
before it.
Several little branch societies have
been formed in different parts of the
city, and the children even have come
into the work and SeWed bandageS and
turned hens with willing hearts, if the
little fingers were sometimes at fault
Comfort bags have been made and
filed by the little ones. and from many
of the smaller societies have come
money donations.
There are about twelve women Of
the local society who are among the
most faithful. They are at the rooms
almost every day, are active along all
lines of the work and may be found
at the desk, the sewing machine or
the cutting table at almost any hour
after the rooms are opened There are
others whose home duties are more
urgent, who are still as faithful and
there are still others who come reg
ularly once or twice a week
The work thus accomplished is worth
as much as any money donations and
without 1t all the money in the world
could not do the good the society has
accomplished thus far Letters have
been received from both Chickamauga
and San Franc SEQ expressing gratitu lie
for the boxes and barrels sent to the
camps. and probably no one will ever
know all the little rays of sunshine

Aside from Cervantss Spain has
no place in literature comparable with
that of any of the great nations of the
Aryan or Semitic races. "Amadis lie
Gaul," generally accredited to Spain,
and standing out as true original
the first and one of the best romances
constructed OF the material of chivalry
was not written by Spaniard, but
by Vasco de Lobeira, Portuguese. 1t
was translated into Spanish in the be-
ginning of the sixteenth century.
This work cannot by the widest stretch
of generosity be given to Spain. 1t is
Portuguese, and probably lives in its
Spanish dress because the original is
lost. Had Spain produced "Amadis
de Gaul' and 'The Lusiad," these,
with "Don Quixote" had saved her.
But Camoens was Portuguese and Lu-
istania is not Spanish. There is, it is
true, "The Poem Of the Cid" one Of
the Homeric narrative-epics of the
middle ages, and if Spain has an epic
it is that. But measured with the
performances of other nations this
narrative represents the beginning OF
literature without its development.
'"Ihe Poem of the Cid" is strongly
national, and deserved better than a
single manuscript to preserve it.
Take from Spain this ancient and sim
pie piece and the "Don Quixote" Of
Cervantes and what has she left so
far as the world at large is concerned?

The Mad Dog BugabOO.

In the Ladies' Home Journal Ed
ward Box writes on ",lhe Bugaboo Of
the Mad Dog" quoting number of
authorities to show that there is no
such disease as "hydrophobia" and
inquiring if sit is not time, therefore,
in view of these indisputabe facts,
that we should give ourselves little
more freedom from this bugaboo of
the mad dog? What the newspapers
so essentially report as cases of 'hy-
drophobia' are, in reality, nothing
more nor less than instances of people
who have been bitten by dogs and
frightened into hysterical conditions
in which they involuntarily re-
produce all the supposed symptoms
of 'hydrophobia.' 1t is pity that
our newspaper editors cannot have a
more careful regard for the feelings
OF women during the summer months
and agree to suppress the reports of
cases supposed to he hydrophobia.
They make the public mind nervous,
and do more to spread the silly notion
of belief in 'hydrophobia' than any
thing else. Women have had their
feelings played upon long enough by
this foolish notion of 'hydrophobia,
and enough unnecessary suffering has
been inflicted upon the dog, who is
often killed for nothing, but popular
fallacy. 1t is high time that common
sense should rule; that we should be-
lieve the fact that there is no such
thing as 'hydrophobia, and rid our
selves of this bugaboo of the mad

A street Car Diversion,

This particular Third avenue car on
particular evening last week had
gotten on the wrong side of its sche-
duled time, and the motorman, aided
and abetted by the conductor, was
pushing her through for all the cleo
tricity was worth, in an effort to make
up the lost minutes. Everything flew
along with Il whiH and whirr until
Ledyard street was called. Then
dear old lady on the front seat
motioned the conductor to stop. He
gave the motorman the bell, stepped
quickly along the footboard, helped
her to alight and gave the signal to
start, but before the car was fairly in
motion the lady cried in frantic tones,
"wait waltz A vicious pull on the
bell brought the car to sudden stop.
The lady, wrought up with excitement,
ran forward, and with what breath she
had left. exclaimed: "My umbrella
l want my umbrella" And then be-
fore the conductor could reach the seat
she occupied, to look for it, she added:
ooh! | didn't bring itn'
Even the conductor, mad though he
should have been, joined in the hearty,
spontaneous laugh that arose from the
passengers.
And the tardy car didn't make up
its lost time on that particular trip

A Thrifty wife

lordship was very fond of hunting and

he was in the habit of riding a little
Welsh pony, for which he gave fifty
shillings. One morning his lordship
intending to enjoy few hours sport,

Eldon objected, but as company was
present gave no reason. In few
moments, however, the servant opened

LIFE IN INDIA.
Decadsnce Of the Pnnkah, which Makes
Dwelling In Indian cities Endnrabie.

Decsdsuce OF the Punkah, which Makes
Dwelling In Indian cities E"d"rabie.
An East Indian correspondent gives
some entertaining details Of the odd.
clumsy continuance which makes the
life of the dweller in Indian cities en-
durable. With rnre exceptions, the
punksh is made by the neatest iobhing
joiner, and he either copies some pun
kah he has seen or uevises something
of his own which shall contain the
greatest quantity of timber, curtain or
mating, sandbay, hooks, rings and
ropes-everything, in fact, that will
swell the bill. The cool.e who is given
charge of the punkah, although hemay
never have had a lesson in pulling be-
fore, proceeds to work out Il system
in which the punkah shall be made to
move with the smallest effort on his
Part. He sits on the floor or on IL
chair, ties big knot on the rope and
shortens it until it supports his arm,
allowing few inches of pull. If he
is let alone he will take care that his
labor shall not exceed the one-fortieth
of a horsepower. The punkah hangs
conspicuously in the middle of the
room. There is only one part which
needs to be heavy,a and that is the bar,
which has to receive during one pull
the power that must serve during two
movements. The bar is covered with
leather cloth of suitable color, to the
seam of which, lying underneath, the
curtain should be sewn and not
hooked, as hooks make noise in
working. No material can be too light
for the curtain. The finest or thinnest
silk or muslin or even tracing cloth
will blow as we'll as the heaviest mat
ting when properly applied. The
lower edge of the curtain, which is
about 20 or % inches deep, is weighted
either with light wooden rod or with
split shot on cord weighing ten
ounces in length of six feet If the
curtain is not less than six feet from
the ground the rod is the best. When
lower than this the split shot is pref
cradle. The punkah can be made to
look very picturesque by a judicious
choice and disposal of colors in bar,
curtain and ropes, in spite of the fact
that it is generally the most unsightly
and uncouth piece of furniture in an
Office or dwelling. But the decadence
of this odd though important factor in
East Indian life has already set in.
In places where electric current can
be had the electric fan is taking its
place, and before long the punkahwal-
lah will find little left for him to do in
the great cities of India. Chicago
