Cleanliness.

One Of the most important factors il
maintaining health in good order is
cleanliness. tits comprised in measures
that tend to keep the organs clean and
In proper order to perform all their
functions. The cleanliness of the skin
and the air tpurity of the air. that we
breathe in are essential for the proper
keeping of ones health. Any impurities
that are taken in breathing find their
way to the blood, and thus serve SO
many centers Of disease and are the
cause Of many infectious diseases.
Again, if the skin is not kept clean the
impurities that are to be secreted are
unduly accumulated in the blood and
tend to give rise to severe and often
dangerous disorders. such as skin dis

SPANlARDS ARE GuERRlLLAS,
They Have Seldom Been Excelled az Fight
ers Under Irregular Tactics.

The Spanish tendency to irregular war
fare is largely hereditary. For 500 years
the Spaniards were in constant strife with
the Moors, whom they conquered at last
During these eight centuries there were
no regular campaigns, but both sides, as
rule, split up into separate bands, whose
only object was to continually harass and
eventually extermnate the other side.
One of the great disadvantages under
which tho Spaniards will fight will con-
sist of the fact that they will meet their
superiOrs in their favorite mode of warfare
Spaniards have invariably succeeded as
guerrillas up to the present time. If they
won no great battles, they at least held the
own ground CT prevented the enemy from
occupying it. In Cuba, however. things
have been different. The Spaniards met
their equals il not their superiors in the
insurgents. They have uniformly been
driven back, and in all the bnsh fighting
have been regularly whipped.
