Spirited Men

Mr.. Herbert D. Ward contributes To-
the Century q paper devoted to He
roes OF the Deep in which ne says;
1T is always with a vague regret
that we read the sagas and are thrilled
by the vikings exploits. 1t seems as II.
the deeds OF daring had gone by foT-
ever, and as if the heroes OF the deep
we're myth OF the past. Absorbed
in the Morse romance, we forget that
the vikings were only pirates, and that
they dared for slaughter and for
booty. Ii the Gloucester Of to-day had
only existed then, what heroic saga
would IL not have inspiredl For 70
risk life for glory, or riches, or rescue,
or love is In the heart of every man
to do; but to risk life for bare ez-
istence, for other peoples profit and
for an anonymous end partakes OF that
commonplace sublimity which does
not form the favorite plot Of poets al
though once in awhile 1t is the subject
Of daily paragraph.
''For the vikings are not dead. From
Portland to New Orleans our harbors
are full of them. They lounge upon
our wharves and we do not recognize
them. They loiter on our streets and
we know them not. But IL there is o
more modest, unconscious or brayer
fellow than Jack the Fisherman olr
eyes have yet to rest upon his face
He is the hardest and most daring,
the best sailor in the world to-day.
Any continental kingdom would give
Its wealth to possess him for its de-
tense. He IS the envy of every mari
time nation. Has he no value for US,
beyond the halibut and the cod, tbs

MILITARY EXPEDITIONS.
DimoEItiss Which were Involved IN
Se2aiEB the Troops TO
1InatIa-

II was on the first day OF May that
Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish
ships and defenses in Manila bay.
Twenty-four days later the first de-
tachment of troops sent to reinforce
him sailed from San Francisco.
There were some expressions Of in
patience because cf tnis delay, and
also because more troops were not
sent But those who criticise the gov
ernment on this account, says the
Youths Companion, can have little idea
of the difficulties involved in sending
a large military expedition such
distance.
From san Francisco TO Manila is
about 1900 miles. The voyage, under
favorable conditions, takes about four
weeks. Ships had TO be chartered cad
made ready ii haste. 10 convey not
the troops only, but their weapons,
field artillery Is well as rifles. horses
and their subsistence, tents, bedding,
hospital stores and miscellaneous
eouipmcnts. together with rations for
the whole force sufficient for the voy-
age and for some time after.
It was necessary also to carry out
large quantities OF ammunition and
supplies for Admiral Dcwey's squad
ron, for ships carrying Oh operations
1900 miles from their base of supplies
need many things.
To secure the shirs ard prepare them
for such . voyage, and to accumulate
and get on board Of hem I'll the need,
ed supplies in little more than three.
weeks, was really remarkable
achievement.

teacher looked over his spectacles and
said:

All doors open in 1he middle and are

as windows. Ali such doors opening on

BLIND PEOPLE IN SPAIN.
The Numbeg Is Very Large and There
Is no Effort TO Re
duce 1t.

The large proportion Of blind people
in Spain has attracted attention since
the beginning of the present century.
The subject is again brought up by an
article by Privy Councillor Hirschberg
in the German Medical Weekly giving
the results of his recent observation
in Spain, where he attended the hy-
gienic congress. He says the streets
of Madrid swarm with blind beggars;
the further south he went tho more
blind ho met. The proportion in Spain
as given In the census of 1860 is II to
10000, against eight to nine in Ger
many, France and England; but that
figure Is considered undoubtedly false
by continental authorities. Moro re-
cent figures give las The chief causes
!of blindness Ia Spain are infamma-
tion OF the eyes of infants, granula-
ton and smallpox. The widespread
fatalistic attitude OF the sick, the lack
OF governmental oversight and the
small attention paid to disease OF the
eye operate to increase the number
of the blind in Spain. There Is not
single public eye hospital IN Spain, &C
cording to Or. Hirschberg; only wards
in general hospitals and private insti-
tutions. instruction In diseases of the
eye Is neglected in the medical schools,
though there is hope that the new med
ical faculty IN Barcelona, which has
been organized within two years, may
work an improvement IN ophthalmol-
ogy in Spain

The crowding Of China by other ma

sulate at Shashi has given Japan a pre-
text for securing concessions on the
