FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

One might think this was the first war we ever had. We had raw-rawer- asnies in camp through the summer of 1881 most of them inactive" And that VI time when we had only portion of the country in which to locate camps. Moreover, sanitary and medical science ware not 80 far advanced, and the gov ernment's purse was rather flat The Santiago sickness, per SC, aside, veter ans of those camps marvel at what they hear in 1898.-Hsrtford Courant.
 The Connecticut local authorities are paid for woedchuck scalps under the authority of the town boards. From all accounts the Connecticut wood chuck has a check and persistence that would frighten it's kind anywhere else, shy and suspicious and wary as it ordi- narlly is.-New York Sun.
 If you sneeze till you see stars, if your nose runs at the rate of mile in POS, if your eyes bulge out until you scare yourself to look at yourself and If your head feels as big as a hogshead, you have probably got mild case of hay fever. Telegram.

How General Bur. Was rricked.

One day when General Andrew s. Burt was lieutenant colonel of the Sew mteenth United States infantry Cap tain Charles A. Booth, then a ieuten- ant, met him on the rife range.
 Lieutenant Booth was shooting, and be "called" each shot as he fired, with out waiting for the markers to signal the result.
 You're pretty good guesser, i" said the colonel. "Why don't you admit you're guessing where those shots land9'
 "I'll bet you box of cigars, said the junior officer, "that I can call 90 ahots in succession.
 "Taken," said the old warrior.
 Lieutenant Booth fired.
 Miss" he announced, and a red flag from the target told that this was oor- rect.
 Another shot.
 Miss he declared. A third shot. "Miss again." he said. Fourth shot. Fourth miss, announced Booth. An other shot Miss" again sang out the lieutenant.
 "Hold on there," put in Colonel Burt. What are you trying to dof l thought you were going to fire at the target"
 "I'm trying to win my box of oi- gars," said Lieutenant Booth.
 Don't fire any more, said the colo nel "Fhey're yours "-Ohioago Jour- nal

An InvfncfbIe.

When Alcibiades was told that his sountrymen had passed sentence of death upon him for being at the head of a conspiracy to overthrow the religious and political constitution of Athens, he said, "I will show them I still live. He obtained from Sparta assurance of personal safety and went hither. He de- lighted and charmed the Spartans, as he had the Athenians in his earlier years
 He adopted their GU stoms and dress and was the strictest Spartan of them all. He wore his hair short, bathed in the icy waters of the Eurotes and ate their black broth and barley bread. They be- lieved that he had been misrepresented. In truth, as Plutarch said, "he changed color more quickly than chameleon. In Sparta he was grave, temperate and fond of physical exercise; in Ionia he wes easy going, luxurious and merry, in Thrace he was drunken, in Thessaly he was devoted to horsemanship. and in the court of the Persian satraps he sur
 passed Tissaphernes himself in magnifi- oence. As Sparta was to be the prize of the Athenian victory he showed the people their danger, advising them to begin active operations against that city. No better advice could have been given them, and they prof1ted by 1t.

Manila Hemp.

Every engineer knows what manila hemp is, but few are aware that it is the product of species of banana which is cultivated in certain localities In the Philippine islands. The plant, called by the natives "abaca," throws up cluster of sheating leaf stalks to Q height of 20 or 80 feet, which spread out at the top into crowR of huge un- divided leaves. When 1t is 8 years old, 1t is cut down and the stalks are torn into strips. These strips, while still fresh, are drawn between a knife and a wooden block, and the soft cellulose matter is removed. The fiber is then hung up to dry in the open air until it is 1t for use. Each stalk gives about a pound of fiber, and two natives will turn out about 25 pounds 8 day. The tnside fiber, which is thin and weak, is used by the natives for making articles of dress The familiar manila rope is made from the fiber of the outer layer, which is hard and strong The whole
 supply of manila hemp practically comes from the Philippines, and the United States consumes 4l per cent of 1t
