From the London Spectator
The Indian Mohammedans heard that the
Khalif had triumphed over the infidel. and
the news went to the heads of the Moham-
medans Of Delhi and Oudh. just as now it
has gone to the neads Of the tribesmen of
the frontier In both cases it urged them,
regardless of all consequences. to strike 4
blow for the faith. The descriptions that
have been given of the Greek war to the
frCntiersmen are probably not unlike those
of the Crimea. that were given all over the
Mohammedan world. The sultan, 1t was
said was attacked by the Russian dogs.
Not caring to demean himself by fighting
them in person. he sent for his slaves, the
French and English. to drive them from
his borders. This act the sultan's Christian
slaves faithfully performed. and for their
loyalty he showed them some favor. But
to the Khalif-the shadow of God-not 10
the tools he used-was due the destruction
OF the accused Russians.
That was the story told throughout Asia
Minor, North Africa and Central Asia, and
piCusly believed. Doubtless the Afridis and
the NEIL of all the valleys and deserts from
Quetta to Chitral have heard similar ex-
travagances in regard to the Greek cam
paign. The Greeks, they were doubtless
told. are as much stronger and Drawer than
the British as the British are stronger and
Drawer than the Bengalese, yet these in
vIEcibie warriors fled before the sultan.

To Each His Pie.



If the new concert of the powers, re-
ported to have been made in Corea, shall
work as we'll as its prototype did in the
Greco-Turkish difficulty, white winged
peace and the dawn of prosperity will soon
spread their beneficent influence over the
Land Of Morning Calm. AS reported, the
plan is for McLeavy Brown, the British
representative, to continue as chief COM
missioner of customs. while Russia will
have a representative at one port and ia
pan one at another. The advantages of
such a plan and its influence for good are
obvious.

North Dakota DivOrces,
From the Valley City, n. D., Times Record.

In order to be a citizen of this state a
man must be a resident for one year. To
obtain divorce residence of ninety days
is sufficient. With this exception the
divorce laws of North Dakota are not such
as bring the fair name of the state into
obloQuy. But this ninety-day provision
brings into the state a miscellaneous as
sortnent of matrimonial misfits who air
their dirty linen in our courts and then
leave the state Shyster lawyers fatten on
this divorce practice, like vultures on car
rion They and a few hotel keepers are the
only ones to receive any benefit.

Spare the Birds.
From the London Times.

Women have known for years. or might

them wear them. and against fashion there
Is no appeal. If fashion so ordered 1t not
a feather would be sold in London or worn
In England. Unless fashion SO orders 1t

taste nor good sense affords any restraint

STATURE Of AMERICANS.
Surgeon In tho United States Army Says
tho Average IL OF Inches.

Surgeon In tho United states Army Says
tho Average IL OF Inches.
In a paper read by Maj. Henry 8.
Kilbourne, surgeon OF the United
States army, before the Association Of
Military Surgeons Of the United States,
he advocated the theory that the phys.
ical power OF race OF people, aud
consequently their capacity for work,
is measured by their average stature.
For every inch Of height between
five and six feet the extreme breath.
ing capacity is increased eight cubic
inches; the vital capacity being at Its
maximum at 35 years. A table OF
measurements Of l9O,62l native white
Americans, accepted for the military
service OF the United States, shows
that the number Of men below sixty.
three inches in height, Is but little
greater than that OF the class above
seventy.three inches. The most nu-
merous class Is included between sixty
seven and sixty-nine inches, and this
standard class would have q greater
chest girth than the average.
Inc mean night OF 40 United
States naval cadets above the age Of
20 years was 81. so inches. As these
men are drawn from all parts and
classes OF the United States, they
represent very nearly the typical phys.
zeal development Of the American PEG.
pie OF 25 years OF age.
Major Kilbourne concludes that the
commingling strains OF Celtic, Danish,
Norwegian and German blood among
our people have thus far worked no
deterioration Of physical quality.
mot so the swarthy, low-browed and
stunted people now swarming TO our
shores. Absorbed into the body Of
the people, these multitudes must In
eyitabiy evolve an inferiority Of type.
To realize the result Of such contin.
gency, let II be considered that the
loss Of an inch In stature might bring
In its train the loss OF national ascend

General Alger. A difficulty growing out Of
the difference between General Shafter and
General Garcia has arisen in Santiago. The
Spanish residents there have been led to
believe that Skaters army is to be ordered
away from Santiago, after the Spanish
troops, now prisoners, have been transported
to Spain. This has given rise to a fear in
their minds that they are to be left to the
tender amenities of the Cubans. If they fear
the occupation Of Santiago by the American
army, they are now doubIy fearful of the
results of its departure. Appeals have been
made to General Shafter not to withdraw
the American forces from Santiago and he
has communicated these appeals to the war
officials. Assurances have been given 10
the people of Santiago by the War depart
ment through Genera Shafter that this gov
eminent will stand squarely by the terms
Of the presidents proclamation relative to
the government of the city and province. A
permanent military garrison for Santiago,
consisting of the First and Second immune
regiments, has been provided and it will
remain there even If General Skaters corps
should be withdrawn.
