FIRED A MILLION BULLETS.

Have you any idea Of the hailstorm
OF bullets we went through at San
Juan hill?" said one of the officers of
the Sixth Ohio volunteers the other
evening while at supper with several
OF his fellow officers who had been in
the battle This started the discussion.
and Captain Kennon figured out ap-
proximately how many bullets were
fired at the Sixth on that eventful day.
Gathered up on the top of the hill
were 1,5CC Spaniards, and with their
Mausers they could fire ten shots per
minute with the greatest ease, and this
makes $1,000 bullets which were rained
down on the Sixth every minute. The
battle lasted for An hour and a half.
which is 80 minutes, and there were 80
times $4,000 bullets fired, for the firing
was steady and did not slack up at any
time. This makes 100000 bullets
which were fired at the Sixth during the
engagement, and with these figures be-
fore one it is easy to understand why
only some so of the brave boys who
marched out last April returned.
The estimate Of the number of bull
let's fired given above is conservative,
as the Mausers can easily fire 20 shots
per minutes, and it is probable that
nearly 2,000,0 GOO bullets were in the
storm of lead which the Sixth wealth

shiver down the vertebra.
1t requires some nerve and a sure
footing to go down stairs backwards
with a mirror in one hand and a
match in the other, and, still walking
backward, to go to the most remote
corner of the cellar and there, striking
your match, to gaze into the mirror on
the face of your future husband, which
will be reflected there. | might add

CROQUET.

The new game of croquet is a much
more scientific pastime than its prede-
cessor. The hoops are so narrow that it
seems as if the ball could barely get
through, and they are of such stout iron
that ones must cunning efforts to widen
them are of no use. Indeed, the whole
outfit of the game has been SO much i'm
proved that they are instruments of pre-
cision, and it is as usual to carry about
ones own mallet as ones own tennis bat.
And as for dress-weu, one writer has
asked, is it the revival of croquet that
has brought about the present graceful,
clinging fashion in women's gowns, or is
1t the gowns that have brought about the
revival of croquet? Be that as it may,
there is no doubt that the be-frilled and
diaphanous garments of this summer look
quite their best on the smooth green of
the well kept croquet lawn.

AND ITS
QUEER OBSERVANCE.
Day That Is Getting More Thoroughly Enjoyed by Ameli-
cans Than Eyer Before

On the night OF October 81 Hallow-
cen comes with its registering and its
4 hobgoblins. In recent years the cele-
bration Of the dag has grown in
America, and to-day it occupies a
I position equal ITO that held by it in
England. It s the delightful combin-
alton OF MYSTERY and mirth which

thrifty squirrel his winter store. In
deed, in the north of England Hallow-
cen is still known as 'nutcrack
night"
Nor are nuts merely cracked ard
eaten. BY their means venturesome
maiden may satisfy herself not only
as to the identity of her lover, but as
to his wearing qualities. Burns, in his
poem on Halloween refers to this Gus
tom:
The ault gudewife's weel hoordit nits
Are round and round divided,
And mony lads and lasses' fates
Are there that night decided.
Some kindle couthie side by side,
And burn thegither trinity;
Some start ava WI saucy pride
And jump out over the chimly.

embers OF a wood hearth fire may be

pretty girl who is thus tempting fate.
