patch t. The Tribune from Constan.
tine, Mich, gives the following speech
made by General Shafter at that place,
where he went to attend the reunion
Of the Nineteenth Michigan regiment
Of which he was a member during the
Civil War. General Shafter said that
when the fleet first left Tampa it vas
intended to land it 20 miles from
Havana anc march on that city. When,
however, the feet put back because Of
the reported proximity of a Spanish
squadron, word was received from
Admiral Sampson that Santiago could
be taken in "a hours and the army
sailed for that port. Speaking of the
santiago campaign, he said:
A lot has been said about lack Of sup
plies. Men who 90 to war expect to be
short rationed sometimes. You old sol
diers often had much less to eat than the
soldiers ever did at Santiago. My com
mand during the Civil War often drew
corn on the cob for a meal
The Roads impossible.
It was not a question Of having sup
plies, when, if we had had 1000 wagons,
the fearful roads would not have let us
take them to the front. Sometimes they
had to pound their coffee in a rag, but
you all did that. Some of the men COM
planned, but they are good soldiers in
spite of that and fought like heroes when
called N. A large number of men died.
Tents could not be put up because the
men were in the enche and tents could
not be pitched On the firing line.
We stayed longer than we expected
after the surrender, but We had to stay.
The honor Of the go vernment demanded
it and we stayed. Five hundred men
came down every day with sickness and
some days 800.
But we had brought the war to a close.
The capture Of the fleet prevented fresh
troops from being brought over, but it did
not stop the war. The surrender of 70.
rails army did stop it.

ed places, all done in fine black sou
tache, attract attention everywhere. On
the upper part of sleeves and on the up
per part Of the skirts are not where one
naturally looks for braiding, and yet it
is unusually effective there Some have
the braiding put across the front of the
skirt to represent tunic effect, and
perhaps blouse to wear with it will
be literally stiff with braid. Kersey
In green, brown and other colors is
used for many of these tailor suits. The
skirts even TO these drag a trifle in the
back. There is some new grace added to
the tailor costumes made in this coun-
try, for they show little or none Of the
unyielding rightly of the English cos
tune. The French do not as a general
rule take kindly TO tailor suits. There
isn't frou frou enough to them, and a
Frenchwoman wants all the little silk
en- airs and graces she can get She
needs them, too, while our American
women can wear anything and look
well in 1t. Another thing our women
have never let go out of date, and that is
the princess gown, and this season it is
III good demand for those of fine figures.
For evening for smallish functions
there Is new demand for cashmere.
The colors are naturally of the regula-
tion evening shades. and they are trim
med with tiny ruflles edged with fiat
satin ribbon, or some have rufiles made
OF satin ribbon from one to two inches
wide -Four, five and six of these are
sewed on. The sashes to match are also
ruffled, and most of them reach the bot
tom Of the gown and have the edges
rounded In addition TO cashmere in
white and light tints for evening for
young ladies there are buntings. veil
ings, mousseline de LANES and several
qualities Of canvas. These are usually
made IN simple style, with the new
open blouse effect with pulled and shir-
red vest and yoke. Some Of these pretty
new stuffs are more becoming to young
persons than far more expensive ma
terials. White in all Of these, and ba-
rege, too, which omitted to mention,
are better liked than any of the others.
Some gowns are wide about the bot
tom, others comparatively narrow, the
difference depending much on the taste
OF the wearer. Some fare widely, and
others, measuring the same width, are
laid in folds SO that they do not look SO
full
The blouse and shirt waist are still
with us, and there is no end to new
ideas. One odd fancy had revers of
tucked silk, the ends of the tucks left
to flare. The turtle neck effect will
doubtless be very popular as the season
advances. Quaint fancies are obtained
by the use of plaids cut at various
angles. The sleeves grow tighter, with
the shoulders as square as possible.
About half the blouse waists end with
the belt, and the others have what are
called peplums below the belt. Both
blouses and shirt waists are snugger
and trimmer than they were. ALI are

null neckwear can be added 1t will.

They were handsome. Velours, both
plain and moire, was made in the same
way. Rich black armure and satin
duchesse as well as peau de sole are all
made i'll large quantities for handsome
outdoor gowns. So are Irish poplin and
the silk warp henriettas and other
priestley goods. One style had plain
skirt with a row of black beaded passe-
menterie all around the bottom and up
che left side. The waist was snug and
had line of the passementerie around
the waist and up the front. The collar
and vest were of white shirred crepe
lisse, with beading and quilting. This
design would be elegant in whatever
material it was made.
There are some new shapes and ideas
added to the number of spring hats al
most daily. Just now there are some
novel short backed hats in Brazilian
chip in different bright colors. The mi
Ian and leghorn hats are supplemented
by java, which is generally round or
nearly SO, with round edge to the
brim pressed into the straw. Some of
these are in natural grass color and some
are white. They are loaded with flow
ers, small rosebuds, violets and field
flowers mostly, but there are flowers of
every kind. Double peoples are pretty
and novel.
Hats will be covered with trimming
TO greater extent than ever, but the
trimming is mostly all light and airy.

Alice Ives Breed, the Next President of
the General Federation.
Few women of the country are finer
types of the worth of education and lib
eral culture and the administrative abil-
ity it is possible for them to possess
than is Mrs. Alice Ives Breed Of Lynn,
Mass, the vice president of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs
AS the wife of Francis W. Breed, q
prominent business man of Lynn, Mrs
Breed presides over a beautiful home
with all the grace and dignity that
characterize her WHOM she is in the
chair at club me n. Though born
IN illinois, she has l.. - for many years
in New England, and during long
period has given largely of her energy
and means toward the Social and intel
lectual development Of women as that
development may find expression in
clubs and educational organizations.
There is nothing of the masculine or the
strident in Mrs. Breeds nature or per-
sonality. Gifted to rare degree with
the administrative faculty, it is this
which has undoubtedly helped to make
her such power as promoter of the
intellectual in club life. She can direct
the affairs of such concerns with the
quiet effectiveness of general. Her
presence suggest refinement and force

many attractive favors. At the tops Of
other sticks are large paper flowers fas-
tened on with coiled wire in order that
they may be tremulous and thus more
natural in effect while carried in the
dance. Among the folly sticks are also
short ones covered with gilt or silver
paper and decked with bells and ribbons.
Favors that may be prepared by any
one with little expense consist of whips,
reins, butterfly nets, horns or trumpets,
tambourines, tiny hatchets and flags,
dainty aprons, diminutive bicycles and
spinning wheels and other small toys.
These are purchased and then decorated
according to personal ideas, possibly
financial resources, with ribbon, Grape
paper, bells, silver or gilt paper or
tinsel. The more marked the individu-
atty in arrangement the more success
full the favor. Another favor pretty in

this subject for various periodicals. AL
though a resident of Boston for so many
years, Mrs. Breed remains thoroughly
loyal to her native state, and among
her duties with many Boston clubs is
the enthusiastic president of the Massa

Mrs. Breed has been a prominent fig

PROSPECTIVE CRAZE FOR RuFFLEs

We are promised perfect craze on
the subject of ruffies for all kinds of
gowns, and already the leaders are here
just now they are rather oftener seen
put upon skirts to simulate tunio and
French fiounce effects than to DO trim
ming in themselves alone, as they
might be called if set only around the
bottom in straight rows. Some gowns
have three or four narrow ruffies plain
~ hemmed. Others have several with q
very narrow satin ribbon sewed ON fiat
or perhaps very fine line of beading.
Some of the iounces have narrow row
of tulle or lisse ruching. This is TAX
ing fancy, but the founce should be
scarcely gathered at all; otherwise it
sets out too stiffly. Bias pinked flounces
from one to four inches wide are seen.
In thin silks and crisp taffetas these are
pretty. They are, however, not con-
fined to silks alone, for many of the
thin goods now being rapidly made up
for summer show any amount of ruffles
of all sorts.
And yet we find many entirely plain
skirts. The tailor style calls for them,
and where the material is good they are
always elegant. One Of the newest of
the tailor suits is of gray cloth and has
a surtout coat reaching several inches
below the knees. The skirt is entirely
plain and touches the ground all around.
1t is double breasted and has wide re-
yers and tndor collar. The sole trim
ming is little flat silk braid of the same
shade stitched to the coat down the left
side in simple design and three loops
Of it on the collar.
Some of the new spring walking suits
and jackets are remarkably smart and
have jaunty air that is as fetching as
it is Undesirable. Biscuit, tan or dust

The Moslem's Rosary,

The rosary consists of 90 beads, and

each as it passes between the fingers.
Each ejaculation generally consists of
two words, and declares name or at.

the upper and middle ranks of life carry
In their pockets or bosoms string of
beads for this purpose, which they use
not only on the occasion l am describ.
ing, but while sitting and smoking
their pipes, walking in the streets or
even while engaged in conversation.
When Moslem has gone over his
beads ut the regular time of prayer, he
folds his hands, and then, holding them
mp open, as if to receive something from
above. he prays for such blessings as he
desires for himself or his household.
When this is concluded. he strokes his

Self Inducing Methods.

An article in The Lancet gives some
hints on the inducing of sleep which
will DO Of interest to all victims of in
somnia. So vital is the necessity for
sleep that any method by which il may
be secured is worthy of attention. The
means employed is to produce weariness
by muscular exercise after retiring.
Lying on his back, the patient first
reaches for t,e foot and head boards ut
the same time He then raises his head
half an inch. At the same time he
breathes slowly and deeply about eight
inspirations to the minute, which are
counted. After about 30 inspirations the
head, which begins to feel heavy, is
dropped. The right foot is then raised
tthe reaching for the boards and count
ing being continued) md similarly
dropped when fatigued. The left foot
goes through the same process. The
muscles which nre used in reaching for
the head and foot boards are then re-
lieved, and the body is elevated so that
1t rests on the head and heels. He then
turns on the right side and reaches for
the head and foot boards again and
raises first the head and then the foot,
as before. The same process is gone
through on the other side Thus eight
positions have been assumed and large
number Of muscles used. If sleep has
not been induced, the same cycle Is gone
over again.

A Wise Mu1e.

Among our pack mules was one who
on fishing trip several years before
had visited this very locality in which
we were encamped, but she had come

apazement one morning to find this
mule gone and with her two of her
comrades, whom she had evidently led
astray. Hunt high and hunt low, we
could not find them, and after wasting
several days in this fruitless search we
set out for home. Upon arrival there we
were surprised and delighted TO find
that tho mules had preceded us The
old mule had at once recognized her
previous camping place, changed Though
