SPANS DAY OF RECKONING.

In the Spanish chamber of deputies
last Thursday, the greatest confusion
ensued while the Philippine question
was being debated. In the lobbies.
later, there was great excitement
caused by Former Deputy Sampler
shouting, az Senior Salmeron was
leaving the house: THE republicans
are devoidsof shamelif they allow the
chamber to be closed and if they do
not seize the present opportunity to
accomplish something practical" For
saying this Samper was Immediately
arrested.
In the senate, Senator Gonzales,
who said he did not speak az par
tisan but as Spaniard, Ceclared that
the country must be told the truth
about the war situation. Later he ex-
claimed, II have deadlier truthsto tell.
Spain has never known what real
colonial policy is" He then reviewed
the miserable failure that Spain has
made in.trying to govern Cuba,

Ar1ERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Great quantities of good ammunl-
ton have been wasted" by the United
States army and navy of lateyears in
target practice. The policy Of max
ing good gunners Of its fighting men
is now beginning to have its effect,
Whereas once the statement that one
Yankee was as good as two Spanlards
seemed like idle American Boosting,
1t now seems literally true. Deweys
gunners>at Manila seemed to shoot
with the idea of hittinl something.
So also Sampson S and Schley's gun
ners have not wasted" any ammuni-
ton on the empty atmosphere.
The army is doing as well. A thou
sand Yankee cayalrymen met double
their number in the battle near San
tiago last Friday and drove the
Spaniards from the field, and after a
desperate struggle, seized their forti-
fications. Their success was due to
their courage and craftsmanship.
The courage is inherent in every
American soldier. He is intelligent
and must be brave.
The craftsmanship is the result of
the necessary practice at targets dur
ing the otherwise idle days in camp.

THE REVENUE BILL.

Most of the provisions of the in
ternal revenue bill go into effect on
July 1st. Liquors and tobacco are
heavily taxed, and in addition a
stamp tax is levied upon every con-
ceivable business and legal transac-
ton. Some fear is entertained lest
business will be congested for short
time after July LIST on account of the
government not being able to furnish
the stamps as required, there being
now only,a little more than a week
left before the law goes into effect.
Following is a list of the taxes lev
led upon the more common business
transactions. In the case of checks,
drafts, etc, the government will sell
check books to the bank, who will
charge their customers for them. In
all cases that a stamp is used the
person using it must write his initials
and the date upon the same, so that
the stamp may not be used again.

THE MARIA TERESA FOUND
SHE REALLY IS ON CAT ISLAND.
She Failed to Sink When the Crew
Fled, ana Lies in Twelve Feet of
Water-The Natives Have Stolen
All Movable Articles From the
Wreck.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE official re-
port to the navy department of the finding
of the Maria Teresa was concentrated in
the following cablegram received from
Commander Craven of the wrecking tug
Potomac, which had been ordered to Cat
island from Santiago, Nassau, November
II:
ITO the Secretary of the Navy, Wash
ington Potomac arrived. Maria Teresa
near Bird point, Cat island one mile off
shore in two fathoms of water. Tide ris.
ing and falling inside. Temporary decl;
broken up, movable articles removed by
natives. The Vulcan not seen. The ma.
tives at work since Saturday"
The Potomac was ordered at once bacl;
to Cat island, with instructions to Com
mander Craven to take possession of the
Maria Teresa and drive off the natives
who are footing the ship. He replied by
cable that he would leave Immediately
and would arrive at the wreck in the
morning. The fact that the Teresa. {
vessel drawing % feet of water and wat
erlogged as she was when abandoned l.
probably drawing nearly 30 feet, has beer
driven in II feet of water is regarded by
naval officers as evidence of the grea
strength of the storm which caused he
crew to leave her.

According to a writer in a Calcutta
publication, the poorer classes Of the
Siamese people need no priest for mar
riage. They elope and return three
days after, begging for the parents
blessing, which Is a mere formality.
They are now husband and wife.
Among people of the higher classes the
marriage Is conducted with numerous
preparations and ceremonies. Polyg-
amy is common among the mobiles, and
the King himself sets his subjects the
example; he has two Queens, termed
first and second Queen. The Queens
must always be very near relations of
the King, his sisters or halfsisters be-
ing preferred. But besides the Queens
the harem walls inclose several hundred
women. The legal tictions and devices
which the Kadaves-a Kunbi caste in
the Bombay Presidency-are driven to
devise In order to eyade the enormous
expenditure of properly marrying a
maiden are such as would do credit 10
medieval lawyer. When a suitable
partner cannot be procured for a girl
she Is married to bunch of flowers
which are subsequently thrown down 8
well. The girl thus becomes a widow
and can then be married by far
cheaper rite. Or a girl is married tc
q man who Is already married, and
who promises to divorce her immetli
ately after the marriage ceremony is
concluded. The girl is thus reckonet
| as a widow, and can then be disposed
of economically to any one who may
| choose to marry her.

THE THINGS MEN EAT.
Obvious Relations of Diet to the I'm
dividual.

Ones mind depends in a great meas
ure on ones food. Primitive man, with
his large digestive organs, small brain
and rudlmentary soul, desired fresh
killed game, which he ate without fiav-
orings, sauces or condiments. Potatoes
and fine fruits and vegetables were un-
known. AS he migrated he began to
depend on the products OF the soil more
and more. Ancient Egypt, during her
period of highest civilization, subsisted
ON millet, dates, fruits and cereals.
Athletic Greece achieved her greatest
culture on two meals day, consisting
of maize and vegetables stepped in oil.
The decline of a nation commences
when gormandizing begins. Rome's
collapse was well under way when
slaves were thrown into the eel pits
to increase the gamy flavor Of the cells
when they came upon the table.
OF pugnacious and warlike nations
one may predict freshly laden table
accompanied by the wassail bowl in
some one Of its manifestations. The
Teutonic type of soul prefers the al
coholism of hops, while the Latin races
have identified themselves with the
juice of the grape.
A diet curve might be automatically
plotted, showing direct ratio between
the food and the mental and psychical
status of the individual or the race.
Given so much flesh, pastry. beer and
ale, the result can be written down in
Emphatic brain, fighting proclivities
and sensuality. Given working by
pothesis Of heterogeneous cereals, nuts
and fruits, the returns can be counted
in intellectual activity and more or
less vitalized golden rule. When Rud-
yard Kipling immortalized 1.-The great
pie belt" Of New England he illustrated
the humorous side of the diet question
"A never failing source of entertain
ment to the observer. Boston's baked
beans and Goldfish balls afford ever
fresh material for international witt
cisms; although the great Horace, Rus
kin. and others, in lauding the nutritive
virtues Of the "leguminosae," failed tc
excite mirth.

Growth of Girla and RoYs

1t is often supposed that, as a
rule, boys in growing keep ahead Of
girls; but a recent measurement Of
very many children of both sexes Is
against this conclusion. The boys, up
to their 18th year, were found to run
about a quarter to half an inch taller
than the girls. They were then over
taken by the girls, who surpassed them
in height till their 10th year, when the
boys again grew faster than the girls,
and came to the front
