How Soldiers Size Up.

The Yankee is a much bigger man
than the Spaniard, and that is an i'm
portant advantage for the American III
this war. With all his pride of race the
naughty don is little fellow. In stat
ure he is least among the Europeans,
averaging only 51a inches over feet.
The soldier who fights under the stars
and stripes averages 5 feet TX inches
in his stocking feet, he weighs ten
pounds more than the Spaniard, and
his chest girth is nearly two inches
greater. These are points that count.
Of course size is not everything IN a
soldier. Never in history has it counted
for so little as it does today, inasmuch
as modern warfare is conducted chiefly
by machinery, battles are fought at
long ranges and hand to hand encoun-
tiers are rare. The japanese are smaller
than the Spaniards, yet there are no
fiercer fighters. The American Indians,
on the other hand, are superior in stat
ure to the Yankees. But, 9th r things
being equal, the bigger man has an adj.
vantage. The Yankee is the tallest OF
civilized men. In Europe only the Nor
wegian approaches him nearly in this
respect, and the Englishman is full
inch shorter.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ncrat

c,ears For Dewey and Els Men.

Says cigar dealer in the Philadel-
phia Record: admiral Dewey and his
band of heroes at Manila will receive
pleasant surprise when the next trans
port reaches the Philippines i'll lot OF
10, 900 choice cigars donated by patriotic
admirers in the trade. Luxuries are IN
doubtedly scarce in the Asiatic fleet,
and the thought of how much the Amer
lean Jackies would enjoy good smoke
induced Frederick \. Fowler of So
South Sixth street to communicate with
several cigar firms relative to forward
ing contributions to the east. Generous
responses were made. One firm sent 500
cigars of a special brand, for Admiral
Dewey's own use, which cannot be du-
plicated until the Cuban crops grow
again. Others sent from 800 to 1000
cigars each. and the box that will leave
this city tom COW for Manila, by way
of San Franz ., will contain 10000
cigars. a second box may lie sent later. "

The General Prayed.

The spirit with which some of our
fathers entered the Revolutionary war
is we'll illustrated by al anecdote told
-t o. general ! David = Wooster by one who
was present at the scene described. This
officer was appointed to the command
of Connecticut regiment which as
sembled OH New Haven green on a day
in June, 1775, set for it's departure for
New York The anecdote is told in the
"History Of Connecticut:
'"They were ready for march, with
their arms glittering and their KNAPP
sacks on their backs. Colonel Wooster
had already dispatched messenger for
his minister, the Rev. Jonathan Ed
wards with request that he would
meet the regiment and pray with them
before their departure He then con-
Quoted his men in military order into
the meeting house and seated himself
in his own pew, awaiting the return of
the messenger. He was speedily inform
ed that the minister was absent from
home.
Colonel Wooster Immediately step
ped into the deacon's seat in front Of
the pulpit and, calling his men to attend
to prayers, offered humble petition
for his beloved country, for himself, for
the men under his immediate command
and for the success of the cause il
which they were engaged.
Ellis prayers were offered with the
fervent zeal of an apostle and i'll such pa
thetic language that it drew tears from
many an eye and affected many a heart.
When he had closed, he left the house
with his men in the same order they
had entered it, and the regiment took
up its line of march for New YorA.
With such prayer on his lips he ell
tered the Revolution. -

fused to come. -
We stand amid tho palaces of Shu
shan. The pinnaclcs arc afme with
the morning light. The columns rise
festooned and wreathed, the wealth of
empires flashing from the grooves; the
ceilings adorned with images Of bird
and beast and scenes of prowess and
conquest. The walls are hung with
shields and emblazoned until it seems
that the whole round of splendors is ex-
hausted. Each arch is II mighty leaf of
architectural achievement. Golden stars
shining down on glowing arabesque.
dangings of embroidered work i'll which
:ninglo tho blueness of the sky, the
:yreenness Of tho grass and the white
ness of the sea foam. Tapestries hung
on silver rings, wedding together the
pillars of marble. Pavilions reaching
out in every direction. These for repose,
filled with luxuriant touches, i'll which
weary limbs sink until all fatigue is
submerged. Those for carousal where
kings drink down q kingdom at one
swallow. Amazing spectacle! Light of
silver dripping down over stairs of
ivory on shields of gold. Floors of stain
ed marble, sunset red and night black,
and inlaid with cleaning pearl. In
connection with this palace there is a
garden where tho mighty men of for
eign lands are seated at Il banquet. I'm
der the spread of oak and linden and
acacia the tables are arranged. The
breath of honcysucllc and frankincensc
fills the air. Fountains leap up into the
light the spray struck through with
rainbows falling into crystalline bap-
tism upon Towering shrubs-then roll
ing down through channels of marble
and widening out here and there into
pools swirling with the finny tribes of
foreign aquariuns, bordered with scar
let ancmoncs hypcricums and many
colored ranunculi.
Meats of rarest bird and beast smok-
ing up amid wreaths of aromatics. The
vases filled with apricots and almonds.
The baskets piled up with apricots and
figs and oranges and pomeSranates
Melons tastefully twincd with leaves Of
acacia. The bright waters of Eul9us
filling the urns and dropping outside the
rim in flashing beads amid the tracerles.
Wine from the royal watts of Ispahan and
Shiraz in bottles of tinged shell aud lily
shaped cups of silver and fagons and
tankards Of solid gold. The music rises
higher; and the revclry breaks out into
wilder transport, and the wine has
flushed tho cheek and touched the brain,
and louder than all other voices arc the
hiccough of the inebriates, the gabble OF
fools and tho song of the drunkards.

A Good Example.

A man in Connecticut, convicted Of
binding a woman by throwing vitriol
upon her for revenge, was sentenced to
prison for life. This is a fitting penalty
for such an offense, and few more
such sentences would have an apprecia-
bic effect in lessening the number OF
this dastardly species of crime.-Balti-

In the first place l want you to look
upon vashti, the queen. A blue ribbon,
rayed with white, drawn around her
forehead, indicated her qucenly posi-
ton. 1t was no small honor to bequcen
in such a realm as that. Hank to the
hustle of her robes. See the blaze OF
her Jewels. And yet it is not necessary
to have place and regal robe in order to
be queenly. Wnen I see woman with
stout faith i'll God, putting her foot
upon all meanness and selfshness and
goddess display, going right forward to
serve Christ and the race by grand
and glorious service, l say, "That
woman is a queen, and the ranks of
heaven look over the battlements upon
the coronation, and whether she comes
up from the shanty on the commons or

greet her with the shout "All hail,

A Oueenly Sacrifice.

Again, 1 want you this morning to
consider Vashti the sacrifice. Who IS
this that see coming out of that palace
gate of Shushan. 1t seems to me that
| have seen her before. She comes home
less, houscIess, friendless trudsins
along with broken heart Who is she?
1t is yashti the sacrifice. Oh, what Il
change it was from regal position to Il
wayfarer's crust a little while ago APP
proved and sought for; now none so
poor as to acknowledge her acquaint-
pnceship Vashti the sacrifice!
All, you and have seen it many
time. Here is home empalaced with
beauty All that refinement and books
and wealth can do for that home has
been done, hut Ahasuerus, the husband
and the father, is taking hold on paths
of sin. He is gradually going down.
After awhile he will founder and struG-
gle like wild beast i'll the hunters
net, farther away from God, further
away from the right Soon the bright
apparel of the children will turn to
rags, soon the household song will be-
come the sobbing Of Il broken heart. The
old story over again. Brutal Centaurs
breaking up the marriage feast OF Lapl-
tha. The house full OF outrage ana
cruelty and abomination, while trudg-
ing forth from the palace gate are Vashti
and her children. There are homes i'll
all parts of this land that are Ill dam
ger of such breaking up Oh, Ahasuerus,
that you should stand in home, by a
dissipated life destroying the peace and
comfort of that home. God forbid that
YOUR children should ever have to wiring
their hands and have people point their
finger at them as they pass down the
street and say, "There goes drunkard'
child" God forbid that the little feet
should ever have to trudge the path Of
poverty and wretchedness. God forbid
that any evil spirit born of the wine
cup or the brandy glass should come
forth and uproot that garden, and with
q lasting, blistering all consuming
curse shut forever the palace gate
against Vashti and the children.

A Big and Easy Fee.

A great corporation once desired a
legal opinion on matter involving mil
lions of dollars, for upon it practically
depended that corporations very exist
ence They decided to refer the ques-
ton, which was wholly one of the cor
rect Interpretation of law, to William
NJ. Evarts and to be guided By his opin-
ion. Evarts' reputation and success are
wholly due to his remarkable knowl-
edge of law and his power, which seems
almost like intuition, of determining
just how the supreme court will decide
any question Of law. When the attorney
for the great corporation put his ques-
ton, Evafts sat buried in thought for a
moment and then answered i'll one word,
Eyes. His bill for that one word was
$3.50, 600, and the corporation paid it
without murmur Evarts' answer
proved to be correct.

The engine consists of three parts a reflector, which concentrates the heat, a cylinder for generating the steam and a device for keeping the suns rays constantly in focus on the cylinder. In the machine set up at Longwood there is heavy iron frame work, which supports a series of glass mirrors, arranged in semicircular sheet twenty-two feet in diameter. This mirror is nearly as high as it is wide, and the frame work on which it is placed is so adjusted that it will follow the sun in it's circuit and may be adjusted by hand from week to week to follow the declination of the sun.
 This boiler is one of the peculiar features of the solar machine which would puzzle any one unacquainted with heliodynamics. It is of copper, about eight inches in diameter and as long as the curved mirror, in the focus of which it is placed. Owing to the fact that that mirror is made up of innumerable facets Of glass the cyl finder receives light on every part of it's surface, cutting out an area of shadow at the back and having the di- rect sunlight in front.-Boston dis patch to the Philadelphia Press.

STAINS MILITARY POLICE.
A Picturesque Corps That May Always
 Be Seen on Patrol.

The best troops in the Spanish ser vice do not belong to the line, but to that admirable corps of military po- lice known as the Order Publico This is corps d'elite, composed of young soldiers, Spaniards to man, all of whom have been selected from the reg ular army on account of their superior intelligence and physical qualities They perform regular police patrol duty, and do it with degree of dignity and courtesy that might we'll serve as a model for department for any po- lice force Their uniform is distinct ively military, consisting of a dark tunic faced with red, wide blue trou- sers with red stripes and jaunty cap, something after the fashion Of the French fatigue cap, until recently worn in our army. Ordinarily they are armed with a huge revolver, worn on the left side in buff leather sheath and a short, straight sword. They are all admirably set up, and their arms, equipments and uniforms are the very pink of perfection, in striking con- trast to the slovenliness and dilapida- tion of weapons and clothing that characterize the Spanish soldier of the line.
 All tourists who have had occasion to come into contact with an Order Publico will cheerfully testify to his unfailing courtesy. It was this corps which, equipped as infantry, with Remington rifles, distinguished itself by the masterly manner in which it handled the mobs during the riots, without once having occasion to fire a shot.
 Although the evidences of war to be seen in Havana are scanty enough. it is amazing how frequently the insur- gents manage to run the guard of the outposts and make forays into the suburbs. Hardly week passes that squadron of a dozen or so reckless horsemen does not make a night raid on the little town of Casa Blanca across the bay. and a scant quarter oi a mile from the palace itself. These raids are made half in bravado and half for the purpose of footing the few stores in the place to procure sup plies of liquors and provisions, and as a finale, before retreating across to tht hills to the westward, the raider: generally discharge a few random shots at the city across the bay.
 Gen. Lees breakfast to the officer of the Maine at the Marianao Yach club on January 90 served as a pre- text for raid by the insurgents, wh, are anxious to give the American visi tors an example of their prowess Word had been sent to the nearest in surgent camp that the breakfast wa to take place, and arrangements wer
 made for a foray, under Juan Del
 gado, to attack the town as a sort 0 spectacular finale to the entertainment at the club.-New York Herald
