It is a gratifying sign of th5 advance of civilization that in the expected engagement with Spain the servicss of a very strong and humane society will be enlisted.
 The necessity of taking scne se -ps to lessen the horrors of war was seen bv the powers so long ago as the cisli war, and in 1863 a conference III which a number of celebrated Jatls's narticipated, was held at Geneva me

These articles are designed expressly 1 for "the amelioration of the condition of the wounded of the armies Ill the | field" They require that the army

 key. Greece and Mecklenburg Schwer- | in joined the convention in 1855. One year later Austria, Bavaria and Sax ony adopted the merciful policy out 1 lined at Geneva and in 1867 Russia | joined in with the other powers. The conference at Geneva was attended
 by a minister of the United States
 government, but owing to the presence 1 of civil war in his own country he was unwilling to join the agreement | although the rules laid down by the convention were practically followed bv the federal forces until the close of the war, In 1881 the internationa association of the Red Cross, whlcf takes it's name and it's emblem from !. the Swiss flag, made an appeal tt President Arthur to join the conven tion and. with the sanction of the
 senate, a treaty was drafted ant

SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE.

Some account of the manufacture or gun cotton will be Of interest, in view of it's enormous use in the charging of torpedoes and for other purposes If war. Pure raw cotton CT ordinary cotton waste which is commonly seen in all places where machinery Is used is steeped in a solution of one part Of nitric and three parts of sulphurlc acid. It is the former that renders the substance explosive, the latter be- ing used only to absorb the water, thus permitting the nitric acid to combine more readily with the cellu- lose of the cotton. After being soak ed several hours in the acids the cot ton is removed and passed between rollers to expe1 from it the non-ab- sorbant acid. The cotton is then thor oughly washed to remove any acld still remaining which would decom- pose the cotton if permitted to remain in it. This washing process is a long one, requiring machinery which re- duces the cotton to much the same condition to which rags are reduced I in a paper mill-a sort of pulp. If 1t | is ito be used in the manufacture of powder the cotton is still further pull verized and is then thoroughly dried.
 If it is for use in torpedoes it is com
 pressed into shapes that make it easy
 to pack into torpedo heads. The form
 varies greatly, sometimes being disk shaped. sometimes cylindrical, again
 it is in flat squares and again in cubes.
 The gun cotton when not compressed l is light, about the weight of an equal
 bulk of common batting. Terrible as
 it is as an explosive a prick Of 1t
 when wet may be placed upon hot
 coals and as the moisture dries of the
 cotton flakes and burns quietly. When dry. however, it will explode with great violence if exposed to tempera-
 ture of about 32O degrees. It is usu-
 ally fired by detonation, or an intense
 shock. which produces a more power ful effect than heat. In the torpedc the wet cotton is detonated by the ex-
 plosion of dry cotton in a tube, which is fired by a cap of illuminate of mer cury, which is, in turn, fired by tht impact of the torpedo against the null
 of the vessel toward which it is dis
 charged.

The trouble lies in the fact that too few women enjoy perfect health and strength of the special womanly organism. A wom- an who is not well and strong locally can- moi enjoy good general health. Dr. Pierce's FzvorIte Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs concerned in wifehood and mother hood. It is the most perfect and scientific remedy ever devised for the peculiar ail- ments of women. It restores wolnanly power, strength and virility. It tones and builds up the nerves which have been shat tered by suffering and disease. It corrects all Irregularities and Arrangements and stops exhausting drains. It restores weak. nervous invalids to perfect health. It IS intended for this one class of disorders and is good for no other. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief con, sulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N; Y No other known medicine can take its place.

MARKET RETURNS.

The markets in this country and Flu l rope just now are attracting almost as much attention as the impending naval conflicts and are as illustrative of our greatness and power as bril- liant sea victories would be. The con- fidence exhibited on foreign exchanges in OUT securities, resulting in rise of the price of cur stocks, Is supple mented by a demonstration of Eu- ropes dependence upon us for its focd.
 To observe the traders of the old world hanging expectantly upon the coasts of this country and England's to get the first chance at cargoes or wheat, is a spectacle to challenge uni versal attention. Our exports of grain have been phenomenal for some time mast. The Baltimore Sun says that the April just passed breaks the rec ord for exports of grain from Balti- more. In that month there was ship i ped from that port alone more than I 7,SO0, 900 bushels of wheat, corn, oats and rye Most of it went to western Europe, where now the local stocks
 have been exhausted and hunger is be-
 ginning to pinch the masses
 The rise of 30 cents a bushel for wheat in two days was extraordinary. Possibly a good deal of this appreci- ation is due to cornering of the mar kets, or to speculation, but a 1egiti- mate demand from Europe is att the
 bottom of the big prices now prevail 1 ing. Wheat at $1.50, however, o' more. possibly, must result in helping corn along and other foodstuhs, SC that we may expect to see the pr1VaI'
 citizens of the country getting Dacf as large volume of money as the gov ernment is spending for war.
 The stiff prices for American securi ties testifying as they do to the for eign confidence in the stability o American credit and investments ar } especially gratifying also.
 The whole spectacle is one calcu
 lated to swell American pride and be l get a feeling of security and exultatiol {, in the United States that has not bee S experienced before for years. Ther - is not on earth another nation who's r. stocks would bound upward and whos s products would be eagerly sought dlll n ing it's enga cement in war, even wit h a weak antagonist.

In European wars 1t is customary for nations to exact a price of neutral ity and also to offer practical sym nathy in return for promised favors- If such a war as this one were being fought in the day when Germany, for example, had navy as powerful as Great Britain's, situation which will develop inside of seven years, II might be necessary to discuss the capture of the Philippines, or even o1 Cuba and Porto Rico. with reference to the actual wants of our own country in relation to those of the German emperor's subjects. As the world grows smaller, 1iguratively speaking the balance of power between .cont1- nents may be as often considered as that btween the European govern ments.

For the eight months of the cotton season beginning September l, 1o97, the crop which has appeared has amounted to 10,511 900 bales, the larg- est quantity ever recorded in the his tory of the country The price has been higher for some time past than it was when the season opened, though it now remains stationary.

Spain may be medieval in some things, but when it comes to taxation she is up to the most advanced de- vices.

THE GOTHS AND VANDALS OF THE
nineteenth CENTURY.

Tramps are becoming very num-
erous at Arkansas City, Kas., and
the Santa Fe Railroad Co. is making
war upon them.
A correspondent Of the Topeka
Capital suggests that the tramps be
sent to the war. 1t is unnecessary
to send the tramps to the war. They
are and always have been at war
with society, and society is at war
with them.
And upon the part of society it is
an uncivilized war, conducted with
out quarter. The tramps are getting
the worst Of it now, because they
are in the minority and disorgan-
lied, but if they ever become large
enough quantity to associate and
combine for motives Of Offense and
defense, which is the animating
motive and extenuation pleaded by
society, then history will repeat
itself and the barbarians who
over-ran Rome will have their cOun-
terpart in the tramps who Overrun
