SPANISH HATRED.
To Manifext Il, Pigs Decorated with
american Flags and Tor
tcreti fer sport.

Rev. Edward \. Steiner, pastor of
the First congregational church Of
Springfield, o., who is at present trav-
cling abroad, was in Spain the last
week Of June, and he sends the follow
ing account CT his visit, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer:
i had a glimpse Of Spain last week
which was enough to give me the hor-
rors. Hunger, dirt, pride and feas in
equal proportions, a grand empire on
the eve of great catastrophe. The
hatred of America is intense. The pigs
are decorated with American flags and
tortured as they pass through the
streets. One was nearly killed by nv
side, and the brute who did it didn't
know that the genuine Yankee was so
near. The people are hopeless and
helpless, the most of them clamoring
for peace. The high-sounding dis
patches from Madrid are deceiving,
there is nothing here, absolutely moth
ing which looks like power; all is de-
spair.
\ Yankee warship at any of the
harbors would frighten every Span
lard to death. The rest of Europe, as
far as have seen it, is not much inter
ested in the war. There is much severe
criticism of America, that such a big
nation should go to war with such
little one, and On the whole I found the
people totally ignorant as to the
causes and the progress of the war.
The newspapers bring few meager
dispatches, mostly from Madrid, but
even these are favorable to America,
and the end of the war and the col
lapse of Spain do not seem to be far
away. It was my privilege to meet
some literary me- in Spain, who, Of
course, were intensely patriotic, but
broadminded enough to see the mis-
takes of their own people"

THE QUEEN UNNERvED.
Several Recent Disasters In the Royal
Family Have Aroused Her
Superstition.

For some days Victroia has been al
most prostrated on account of the re-
markable coincidence of the disasters
which have aroused the superstition
that has been more or less prevalent
in the royal family.
While travelling from Balmoral to
Windsor the other day the engineer
of the queens train was killed in a
peculiar manner near Aberdeen. He
was an old employe of the road. His
name was William Fenwick. He had
run the queen's train before. He was
on the tender Of the engine fixing the
bell cord, while running through Cove
Not noticing a low bridge, he was in
stantly killed.
At the same hour the duke and duch-
ess Of York were attending the launch
ing of the battleship Albion at Black
wall, on the Thames, when an accident
occurred through the collapse of the
staging by which SO persons were
drowned.
To cap the climax, the bottle with
which the duchess of York christened
the ship did not break, although she
tried three times to smash it. Most
superstitious of all, the bottle did not
contain champagne at all, but per-
fumed water. The queen learned of
the two accidents at the same time,
with the result that when she reached
Windsor late in the afternoon she was
nervous. Superstitions about acct
dents always affected the queen. She
almost vetoed the plans for the jubilee
celebration last year on account of
fear of accidents to the great crowds.
Messages of coincidence were sent to
the family of the engineer, and tele-
grams of inquiry containing express
sions of sorrow were wired number
of times from Windsor concerning the
Blackwell disaster. T he principal fear
of the queen is said to be the death of
some member of the family.-London

ing Up Things with a Prac-
teal Joker.

A practical" joker, well known
downtown, is at present taking a
good, hard dose of his own medicine.
About two weeks ago he packed dry
goods box with old shoes, empty tin
cans and other rubbish and sent it off
to Tampa, Fla, consigned to- one of the
companies of the Third regiment Penn
sylvania volunteers, with express
charges collect. The soldier bows
thought it was a box of supplies sent
by some kind friends, and gladly paid
the charges. Their chagrin in dis
covering the contents of the box may
be imagined, says the Philadelphia
Record.
But they have since been turning the
tables with vengeance. They learned
the name of the joker, and for some
time past nearly every man in the COM
pany has been writing a letter of
thanks every day to the sender of the
box. The letters are mailed with the
soldiers privilege of sending mail
without stamps, postage to be col
lected from the receiver. The "ioker''
is paying two dollars day in postage
for the letters of thanks he is receiv-
ing, and he's wondering how much
longer they will continue to come.

PAY OF TRAINED NURSES.
Their Duties Are Sometimes Very Ar
GuOus, and Continuous XyorkK Is
Next to Impossible.

The average sum paid to pupil nurses
is ten dollars month for the first year
and $14 a month during the second
year, writes Elisa beth Robinson Scovil
in the Ladies' Home Journal. The re-
muneration varies in different institu-
tons. In a few training schools the
nurses are paid nothing. After gradua-
tion head nurses in hospital wards re-
ceive from $50 to $50 per month; su-
Perintendents from $500 to 81 200 year.
District nurses, who are employed by
various churches, societies, and some
times by private benevolence to work
among the sick poor, receive about the
same salary as head nurse in a hospi-
tai, exclusive of board.
Private nurses receive from SIS to $25
week. They have to pay the rent of
a room to use as headquarters, and
their earnings are more or less pre-
carious. 1t is rare for a nurse to be en-
ployed all the time, and her work is so
arduous that it would be impossible for
her to stand the strain of continuous
work.

What VIII Be the Procedure OF the

As much will be written about the

er to call attention to the fact that

when she takes the reins of govern
ment, but viii only take a solemn oath

Dutch do not have coronations,
but inaugurations, and the little
queen, when the great day comes,
will simply exchange promises with
the representatives. of her people,
she to execute the laws and they to
help her loyalty. The scene of this
proceeding is the New Church Of Am
sterdam, which is the nearest to a
cathedral which Calyanistic Holland
possesses. The queens cath is: 81

observe and always maintain the con-

"One of the most amusing displays

e. Merritt at Wizards hotel, reports,
the Washington Post. occurred near
the register, talking to a gentleman
from Ohio, when stranger, who had
evidently just arrived in the bus,
stepped up to the counter, and, think
ing that he had recognized the Chic
man as an old friend, excitedly offered
his hand and expressed in long drawn
out sentences his JOY and pleasure at
seeing him again. The Ohio man al
lowed him to finish his story, and then
calmly told him that he was not the
man he took him for, but his worst
enemy.
The newcomer was so overcome
with chagrin that he could not say a
word. He turned to the register,
which the clerk had pushed toward
him, and, picking up the pen, wrote:
New Matamoras, o. The clerk twisted
the book around, and, about to as
sign the gentleman to a room, said:
What is the name, please?' The man
pointed to the register. Is that your
name" queried the clerk We'll, I
wrote it, didn'tI?' yes, said the clerk,
but I think you have got your town
mixed up in your name.' The new
conner glanced at the book again,
picked up the pen, looked aroundhelp-
lessly from clerk to the man who had
so disconnected him, scratched his head,
jabbed the pen into the ink a half
dozen times, and finally laid it down
in despair, saying: Tt will have to go

odd Curative Treotnen.

A Transvaal doctor is credited with
the discovery of a new curative treat
ment. He asserts that he can cure per-
sons of smallpox, fevers, diphtheria
and many other maladies by simply
wrapping them in milk sheets. The
patient is laid on a mattress covered
with blankets, and is packed in a sheet
Just large enough to envelop the body.
The sheet has been saturated in pint
and half of warm milk, and is ap-
piled to the body without wringing.
After lying still for an hour thus
swathed, the patient is sponged with
warm water, or put into warm bath
for few moments to remove the milk.
The treatment is based on the germ
absorbing power Of milk, and the idea
of it is said to have been suggested by
the fact that milk absorbs poisonous
germs from q bucket in which it has
been standing.

PHYSICAL CULTURE IN EGYPT.
Girls Who Arc Being Trained as
Nurses Take a Regular Course
OF Training.

In one direction, at least, Egypt is
far advanced. 1t believes in physical
culture. The interest in gymnastics is
so great that system of daily exercise
has been introduced in all the primary
schools Of Cairo. Each pupil, says the
London Graphic has on an average two
hours per week The training consists
of club drill and gymnastics, as taught
by the British army. In the case Of the
boys SO trained there is excellent rea-
son. Some OF these boys will eventually
be passed into the military school to
pass as officers of the army, hence the
physical training. Many of their old
school fellows thus trained We're in the
late Atbara fight.
The gymnastic instructors of the
ministry of public instruction were
trained first in Egypt and afterwards
taken to England. After showing at
the royal military tournament in Lon
don and Dublin they we're sent to Al
cershot for a further coarse of train
ing. Returning to Egypt at the expira-
ton of their course, they were at once
transferred to the ministry of public
instruction.
The trimming of boys in this manner
IS far from q common thing, but Egypt
has carried gymnastics even further.
The girls being trained as nurses for
the government hospital are put
through the same course, and it is part
of their regular instruction to go
through a short period of club swing
ing each day.

HIS COMMAND WAS oBEYED.
1t Was Badly Mixed, But the Boat
svvain's Mate Was a Veteran
and Took 1t In.

While the Philadelphia was lying at
the Brooklyn navy yard severc. years
ago a young ensign, now in charge of
one of the auxiliary cruisers off Cuba,
was called aft one morning and placed
in command Of the deck. It happened
that only one item remained On the list
Of the mornings duties, and that was
to sweep decks at seven bells. 1t was
not a very martial command to give,
but as the time approached the officer
(prO tenn of the deck waXed extreme

Of all hands were On him, and almos5
that the safety CT the ship depended
upon his giving the order in the proper
voice. At three minutes of seven bells

read: Seven bells: Pipe sweepers."
1t was plain enough, and the embar-
rassed young officer took his stand
near the mainlnast and called out in
very loud voice: 'Bo's'n's mate!''
The man addressed sprang to his
feet with finger touching his cap.
"Aye, aye, sir!" he replied. Then
gIancing hastily about, the scared Of
ficer muttered, hoarsely: "Swipe
peepers!"
1t was an entirely new order to the
boatswain's mate. He touched his cap
inquiringly. The ensign, more con-
fused than ever, stammered desperate
~: Peep swipers, my man" His
words were overheard by several of
his brother officers, and the laugh
which followed proved the last straw.
The ensign drew himself up, and with
whitening scorn exclaimed; 'Sweep
