THE YANKEE PIGS TRIUMPHS.

The Yankee pig is growing in popu- larity in Europe as whole although we suppose there are people in Spain who would go hungry rather than eat him, even if they had the price.
 During the year ending July 1 we shipped to Europe roundly SOO,OOO 900 pounds of bacon and ham, against 665,- 000,0O0 pounds the year before; 100000 900 pounds of lard, against 56S, ,00O 900 pounds the year before; 100,000000 pounds of pork, against 67OOO0OO pounds the year before. This makes a round total of 1,6OO 900 pounds of hog pro- ducts exported in the year ending July 1 last, against 1900, 1000 pounds in the year ending July 1, 1897; and the 1897 figures beat all previous records.
 Enormous' And 1t may be that the Yankee pigs popularity is about to in- crease even in Spain. The big free fresh air excursion we are going to give o5,000 Spaniards will be cheered by the Yankee pig in some of his toothsome and nourishing forms. He will taste good to the 25,0O0 and they may speak well of the pig that helps carry them over,

santiago are awaited with interest by students of modern warfare. Rough ground, long range of the Spanish guns, rapid fire--all these things were reckoned with when the new regula- tons were drafted. Of course, there were those who said that with any kind or formation, three men out of five would be killed in an engagement where modern weapons were used, and 1t is true that there can be no very safe place on the field nowadays for either officers or men, With what we know at present of this fight, only one thing can account for the dispro- portionately large loss of officers which, indeed, may not be borne out by the final returns-and that is that their "dash" constrained them to rush onward and expose themselves without regard to what they had learned in their books on their drill grounds. If 1t shall turn out that the engagement was fought tactically, faith in the new regulations may be somewhat shaken. IS-Hartford Courant.

CUBA .LIBRE.

There are numerous whispers and oc- casionally an outspoken assertion that our Cuban wards aren't all they have been cracked up to be by themselves and their packers in this country Pos sibly they are not. Perhaps they will not be very helpful in our military op- erations in Cuba. Perhaps some of them will even steal from the hand that protects them and fights for them. And perhaps they will be ugly because they are not allowed to treat the con- quered Spaniards as they would like to. There appears to be friction" between the Cubans and the United States forces at Santiago because the Cubans do not want to be bound by the amenities of modern warfare.
 It would be interesting if the Cubans should by and by insist on being freed in their own way instead of our way. It would also be awkward. But if that should happen there would be only one thing to do, and that would be to go right ahead and clean up the whole sit the Indians, and if the Cubans turn out to be Indians we can and must take good care of them. Having undertaken the job, it must be thoroughly done.

THE RARTH,S SHAPE.

In the midst of war the pursuits of science fortunately are not interrupt ed, and the Coast and Geodetio Survey of the United States is contributing its share toward an interesting study of the size and shape of the earth. So quietly do the scientific brains of Washington go on with their work al most that they are lost sight of in the turbulence of politics and the strug- gles of arms.
 But it seems that some of the ques- tions supposed from the textbooks of the grammar schools to be settled are still open for discussion and attracting the keenest attention of some of the worlds greatest students. That the form of the earth is that of an oblate spherold or sphere lightly tlattened at the poles was such a settled ques- tion is commonly believed, when, in fact, the scientists are entertaining the hypothesis Slat the earth is gradual ly verging toward the tetrahedron-a solid bounded by four triangles, or a triangular pyral"id-with the apex at the South Pole and the continents representing the bulging out from the spherical surface.
 Of course, the earth is not yet far out of it's spherical form, if the tetrahedral theory be proved, but certain facts make the hypothesis an interesting one. The earth in it's cooling, accord ing to the tehory, is causing collapse of it's envelope, or crust and while the sphere is that geometrical body which has the greatest volume for a given surface, and the tettradron the least, the shrinkage of the interior would tend to throw the superficial envelope, grown too large by the shrinkage of the interior, into a tetrahedral form.
 In October series of experiments under the direction of the Internation- al Geodetic Association will be under taken and in this country the Coast and Geodetic Survey will have charge of America's share of the work. From the observations made it will be possi- ble to derive some fresher conclusions as to the shape of the earth, the move ment of the pols and kindred subjects.

a start. Besides these details the hand kerchief should be delicate and fresh, the purse or card case must be good form and fresh one's hair must be well cared for and ones hairpins all right, which in these lays means shell ones at twenty-five cents apiece. Then a cor rect umbrella is needed, the corsets must be good cut and quality and new CT the set of the dress is ruined, and remember that one ought to have a chain, chatelaine, a single glass or something among the later novelties to give tone to the dress, then you begin to realize how small a part of ones re- sponsibility is covered when the dress is selected.
 Stiil there must be dress, so here's one to consider. It was green figured batiste, the skirt having a f1ounced low CT part and fitted top trimmed with two bands of green satin embroidered in various colored silks. These ended at vertical vine which was hand em- brodery in different shades of green. The bodice was made on the same plan and hooked at the side, having small yoke of draped green silk with collar to match. The sleeves were simply made of figured batiste and were ar ranged in folds at the top. This gown was pretty enough to warrant it's wear CT in foregoing expensive accessories, but, alas! that isn't the way it works. The newer and prettier her dress the more the wearer's heart aches to pos sess all the side issues that would &C., centuate it's beauty. FLORETTE.

EDUCATING SANTT4RY INSP PECTORS

They say that in that queer country China doctors are paid for keeping peo- pie well instead of curing them when they are i'll. There is some sense in this, and sanitary science" is receiv- ing much attention in some of the civil ized countries. For instance, there has just been established at Liverpool a school and museum devoted exclusive ly to the instruction of students who intend to make the preservation of health, as distinguished from it's restor- ation, the means and end of a profess sional career. The school, which is to be conducted under tbe management of University College, has been provided with large, well-lighted building, and it's laboratories and lecture rooms are fitted up in accordance with the most modern ideas. The museum depart ment is already well stocked with use full exhibits. The object of the school is not to instruct plumbers or sewer builders in the practical details of their trades, but to turn out men able to direct artisans and to decide whether or not they are following lines on whose observance public health in so great a degree depends. The object of the FSculty is as much to encourage in- vestigation as to provide facilities for it, and the immediate aim is to es- tablish standards of competency which will be recognized as essential to the general welfare. Though the school has been in operation for only a few months in the training of students who wish to become sanitary inspectors, fourteen young men have passed the examination and in due course will get

THE SOUL OF THE OREGON.

When the scared Spaniards on the coast of Spain see the Oregon they will see something worth seeing But the magnificent body of the Oregon is nothing to the soul of her. The quality of this soul was illustrated during the destruction of Cervera's ships. After the Vizcaya had been disposed of it was a long run of twenty-five or thirty miles after the Colon before the Oregon got within firing distance of her. The big battleship was under forced draught and was being pushed to the utmost. Bremen were fainting down below, and the engineer came up to Captain Clark and said: Cant you fire just one grn?" Whats up?" the captain asked. ''The firemen are lying down exhausted. If they hear a gun and think we're in action again they'll all be up in an instant It happened that just as the engineer came up to the captain the Oregon had got to a position where Captain Clark thought he could reach the SDaniard with ef- feet, and the big gun was fired which marked the beginning of the end of the Colon and the Spanish feet After all was over the second engineer and two assistant engineers came up to the deck as begrimed as stokers. They had worked shovelling coal and slashing the fires themselves, the second engin- ger turning to with a will, though in charge at the time.
 Of such is the United States navy. country with unfading glory.

A Pennsylvania commission, charged with the difficult task of devising some means whereby convict labor can be utilized without interfering with union labor, has found, after two years of in- uuiry, nothing better, under existing statute restrictions, than the New York plan of utilizing such labor in the nlak- ing of supplies for State institutions. The members of the commission ap- nrove of the European plan of making army stores and equipments in the prisons. That plan, of course, is not applicable here, where ordinarily there is no such demand for war material, but Pennsylvania is supporting 30,0OO insane in its various hospitals, and it is believed that the furnishing of supplies for that indigent army would keep all the prison inmates in the State busy. Tn furtherance of this idea the commits sion is to visit the penal institutions in New York State, meanwhile receiving statistics from all the charitable insti- tutions in Pennsylvania as to the amount and character of the supplies which they use annually.

FASHION NOTES.
Where the Cost Comes.

"It isn't the dresses, it's the things to go with them," means the summer girl of depleted treasury, and shes right. Anybody can have a dress, but when you consider that the gloves must suit gown and occasion, be good quality and not old enough to be out of shape, that the shoes must be in order and also suit dress and occasion, that the hat must be good style and suitable, the veil crisp and new, the petticoat just right and fresh, then you've made
