A recent Washington telegram
to the Chicago Times-Herald says
officers who have reached there
corroborate the startling charges
Mr.. Hearst made in a dispatch to
the Journal, to the effect that the
insurgents had cut off the heads
of some prisoners captured by or
turned over to them. These Off
GERS seem disposed to justify the
act as the prisoners SO summarily
dealt with we're guerrillas, who
had violated all the laws of war
and we're guilty of the most infa-
nous crime among soldiers, the
slaughter of the wounded. These
were the wretches who had found
shelter in the trees along the road
and we're in the habit of firing up
on Red Cross parties and others
who were taking the wounded
from the battlefield, and also upon
surgeons who were engaged in
giving relief to the wounded on
both sides. 1t is said that our Gu
ban allies treat Spanish soldiers
who have deserted or been captu-
red with great consideration, fra
ternize with and furnish them
food, but for guerrillas and Span
ish volunteers they have no mer-
cy. The officers smile when Gen.
Skaters denial is referred to, and
explain that he knows nothing
whatever about the matter; that
the capture of Spanish guerrillss
is never reported, and that when
one is found he is hustled into
the Cuban lines as rapidly as pos
sible.-States.

NUT TREES.
Plant the Nuts, and the Trees Will Grow
After Awhile.

<AAbGE <AhnAAcs
The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends on the care given
to the trees. Some authorities state that
Is or 20 years are necessary to bring
them into full bearing from the time
the nut is planted. This is a mistake,
as trees that have been we'll cared for
should bear bushel Of nuts in ten years,
and the quantity will increase rapidly
each year after that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising these
trees from seed. To be sure it is rather
slow process, but it is interesting
work. When planting the nuts, if they
have thin shells be perfectly sure that
they have not dried out at all. The best
plan is to get them as soon as they ripen
and plant them at once. When this is
not possible, keep them in moist sand or
in sawdust until they can be started.
Butternuts, walnuts, hickory nuts and
filberts, being hard shelled, will keep in
growing condition much longer, but
should be planted in the fall, as they
germinate better when allowed to freeze,
as that cracks the shell.
The fall planting is natures own
plan, and the nearer we follow her ways
the better results we may expect. An
other thing, do not plant the nuts deep.
Nature drops them on the surface and
gives them a thick covering of leaves i'll
which the dirt catches as it blows about,
then the snow covers all and helps the
leaves to decay and form a covering of
leaf mold for the tree to grow in.
1t is not practicable for any of us to
try to raise all these kinds of nuts, but
select the ones most likely to succeed il
our climate, and by proper care and at
tention make a success Of it. We may
not reap the benefit of our labors, but
our children will and theirs after them.

AIozart's Method.

Mozart s method Of composition was
such as could only have been pursued
by child of genius. He would rise
early, cat hearty breakfast and then
stroll for several hours i'll a forest near
his home, where, inspired by natures
beauties, heavenly melodies came troop
ing through his brain. Repairing to his
cottage, he would summon his wife,
a very witty woman, and bid her tell
him stories He would then mount his
high stool and proceed to commit these
inspirations to paper, his wife telling
him jokes and funny stories while he
wrote These he enjoyed immensely,
frequently interTupting her with hearty
bursts Of laughter and sometimes even
falling from the stool and rolling on the
floor But amid all this hilarity and
uproar the flow Of music which was to
move the world went steadily on. His
productions were wrought without the
least thought or study, but came almost
unbidden "dircct from heaven" Like
Shakespeare, he was purely the creature

SCHOLASTIC DRY ROT.

In an address to a congress of Amer
can and English economists i'll session
It New Haven, Prof. Hadley, of Yale
University, made this rather remarkable
statement;
'.The days of legislative debate are
numbered, if they are not already ended.
Congresses and Parliaments have been
compelled to abandon the watchword of
rec speech
In lieu OF the Congressional forum
matters are to be settled by expert adj
'isers'' of the administration.
What ails the Northern university
rofessor anyway? The query is insis-
ent and recurrent. Instead of the ripe
wisdom and calm catholicity Of judg-
nent which marked the educators OF a
uarter of century ago, the latter day
professors at Yale and Harvard betray
luling pessimism, rantankerous mug
yumpery or extrayagant radicalism.
Are Yale and Harvard suffering with
Try rot? Or are such infections the re-
suit of the modern system which turns
nut specialists" instead of cultured men
md citizens?
1t has only been a few months since
Prof. Norton, of Harvard, declared that
he who fought for his country was more
FOOL than patriot. Now comes Prof.
Iadley and with an airy wave dissolves
Congresses and Parliaments in mist and
loes the business with expert advisers
instead. Meantime Prof. Langhlin, of
chicago University, makes the exclusive
discovery that trusts are truly benevolent
Institutions.
1t is pleasant 10 note, in contrast, that
the instructors in our Southern colleges
md universities are still content to keep
% the paths of sanity, instead of tying on
20 the tail of fad or bidding for noto-
.iety through the PRONUNCIATION of senti-
nents that are either silly or infamous.
Parents will do well TO patronize South
ern institutions of learning.

In view of the prospective changes in
the suffrage laws of this State, de,
cision just handed down by Judge Benet
of South Carolina, is of interest. Several
cases were brought before Judge Benet
by appeal on the grounds that certain
jurors in the cases were not qualified to
serve Judge Benet, after hearing ar
gument on all the cases, decided that
the qualified juror must be n qualified
voter. The constitution of South Caro-
lima was defective in that it left this
point in doubt.

And yet those who see any danger to
