The deadly work at Manila was gen.
orally performed in the cool of the
morning. That these events were fully
appreciated was shown by the presence
on the Lunetta Of thousands of people.
Hundreds of fashionably dressed ladies
and gentlemen "graced" the occasion
with their presence. For the most part
the fashionables came In their equip.
ages These ladies would stand in their
vehicles, determined not to miss any
part of the CHASTITY show. The. signal
from the commanding lieutenant that
the victims were. dead was the signal
for these delighted lady spectators to
wave their handkerchiefs and parasols
as evidence of their satisfaction.
AS general thing these were fright
fully gruesome affairs. There was q
firing squad of five for each unfortu.
nate. This squad Of executjoners would
be stationed about ten PAGES mmedi
ately to the rear of their human target
In most instances the soldiers constitut-
ing the firing squad were natives. They
were secretly In favor Of the rebellion,
and no member Of the squad cared to
fire the fatal shot. Consequently each
man would aim for the arm or leg. This,
Of course, only added to the horror Of
the affair. There was one occasion
when thirteen leading members Of the
secret revolutionary society, the Cata-
punan, We're executed. There was not
a single instance at this execution
where the unfortunate was killed by
the first volley. In majority of cases
three or four volleys were required.
and In one instance FIVE volleys were
fired before the surgeon declared the
man dead. The announcement that all
were dead was the signal for music by
the band-gay, triumphM music.-Re

How to Tell Edible Wood Mushrooms
Mrs. 8. T. Rorer does dwellers In the
country good service by telling them
how to identify the eiible varieties of
mushrooms that grow in the woods.
Her article which Is printed in the
August Ladies' Home journal, makes
it clear that there are very many varie-
ties of these delicious, nutritious fungi,
and that they can be had In abundance
Throughout the summer for the mere
gathering. To make her information
the more useful Mrs. Rorel directs how
the different kinds of the woods-grown
delicacies are best cooked. how they
can be supplemented to the family
larder as most delicious acquisition
free of cost.

Danger Awheel.

No matter how stout a mans courage may
be.
There are times when he's certain to
quail,
Though the blazing of battle he calmly
may see,
In peace all his frmness may fail,
Though bullets which sought in his being
to lodge,
Serenely he often defed,
He'll tremble and pant as he struggles to
dodge,
The girl who is learning to ride.
A marksman afar will perchance miss his
aim,
When the dynamite deadly is fired,
For cen mathematical skill cannot claim
To guarantee all that's desired.
But when her front wheel seems to waver
bit
And she thinks it's time to collide,
You know you're q target that's bound to
be hit
By the girl who is learning to ride.

OseU Dy Ancient " OrH1nens
A two years. study of Gizeh has con-
vinced Flinders Petrie that the Egyp-
tian stoneworkers of 1000 years ago
had surprising acquaintance with
what had been considered modern tools.
Among the. many tools used by the
phyramid builders were both solid and
tubular drills and straight and circular
saws. The drills, like those of today,
we're set with jewels probably corun-
dunn, as the diamond was very scarce),
and even lathe tools had such cutting
edges. So remarkable was the quality
of the tubular drills and the skill of the
workmen that the cutting marks In
hard granite gave no indication of wear
of the tool while cut of tenth of an
inch was made in the hardest rock at
each revolution, and a hole through
both the hardest and softest material
was bored perfectly smooth and uniform
throughout. Of the. material and
method of making the tools nothing is
known.

Gustave Kobbe writes an article on

The first use of field music of which

village of French Flanders where the
French have won no fewer than three
victories-Philip Agustus defeating
Otto Nv of Germany there In 1914,
Philip Of Valois defeating the English
there in 1910, while in 1894 the French
defeated the Austrians at the same
place. It was at Bouvines, in 1914,
that trumpets sounded the signal for
the victorious French charge, the first
authentic instance of command given
by a trumpet call.

Return or Toral's Army.

WAsnlNGroN, July 20. Arrange
mcnts were practically concluded by
the government tonight 70. the trans
portaton of the Spanish prisoners at
Santiago from Cuba to Spain.
The contract was awarded to the
Spanish Trans Atlantiuuc company,
represented by j. NJ. Ccballos Il Co.,
of New York. The company agrees
to carry the prisoners from Cuban
ports to Spain at the rate Of $40 for
each enlisted man and $55 for each
commissioned officer, subsistence to
be furnished by the company on the
army ration basis, as provided for in
the governments advertisement for
bids.
The award provides, also, that the
company shall have five ships at
Santiago in nine days from to- omorrow,
July 2l; two in II days from to-mor-
row, and enough to complete the
transportation Of the prisoners in 81
days from tomorrow.
Two days ago Col. Hcckcr, in charge
of the transportation Of the troops in
the quartermastcr generals depart
ment of the army, went to New York
to consult with shipping companies
concerning the transportation Of the
Spanist troops surrendered at Santi-
ago Bids: which he had previously
advertised for, were opened ut the
army building in New York to-day.
Colonel lleckcr returned to Wash
ingtcn this evening. Tonight he had
Il conference at the war department
with Secretary Algcr, Quartcrmaster
General I.udington,' Adjutant General
Co.bin.
The bids of the several companies
were considered, that of the Spanish
Trans Atlantiquc company finally
being accepted, as, in all respects, it
was regarded as the best made. On
the basis Of ~ 900 enlisted men and
900 officers, it will cost the govern.
ment $3.50, 900 to transport the pris-
oners.
The ships will fly the colors Of
Spain. and will be manned, probably,
entirely by Spanish crews.
1t was remarked tonight as one of
the curious developments of the war,
that the United States government
should enter into friendly contract
with company, many of whose ves-
sells are auxiliaries to the Spanish
navy, and some Of which have been
captured or destroyed by the navy Of
the United States.

Misery in Spain.

AS for the unfortunate people.
whose ardent wishes and vital inter
csts are trodden rough -shod under
foot, it cares absolutely nothing about
Cuba, the Philippines, the colonial
possessions or the war. 1t asks only
for work and food, and for these it
asks in vain 1t is impossible to con-
yey an adequate idea Of the misery
and want which the ill-starrcd masses
have to endure in order that this or
thai minister may retain his plate and
play his role. The Spaniard is very
temperate and much-enduring indi-
vidual, who can exc out living un-
der conditions which would appal not
only an Englishman, but even IL Ger
man. He can live aud thrive on a
species OF course peas (garbanzos) and
dry bread and olives, without meat or
vcgctab ). This Spartan fare cost
next to nothing. When, therefore,
he is said to be in actual want. what
is really meant is that he is dying of
hunger. And such at present is, un-
fortunately, the condition of large
numbers Of the working classes.
| say of the working classes,' in
order to put the case as moderately as
possible. But there are other layers
of the population as well who are lit
orally starving. Throughout Spain,
for example, the school masters
those whose mission it is to impart
elementary instruction-are terribly
underpaid-on paper. In reality they
are not paid at all. With the excep-
ton of two provinces, these wrctched
Spanish "dominics' have not seen the
color of money owing 20 them for ten,
twelve, twenty months. In various
parts OF the country these teachers of
the future generation have openly
taken to begging in the streets The
soldiers who sacrificed their health
and who lost their limbs in Cuba and
the Philippines are still the unpaid
creditors of the nation, while the
money which the government expressly
stipulated to pay them has been hand
ed over to the rebels as an inducement
to keep the peace. And every body
now knows how it was kept. A few
days ago sergeant decorated for his
bravery in the colonies walked about
the streets begging a crust of bread,
until the crowd gathered around him
and took pity OH the parah The
widows and orphans Of the thousands
of brave youths who lost their lives in
Cuba arc dying slowly of starvation.
The proportion of women TO men in
Spain has become very unfayorably
for the former, and in Madrid alone
there are about $4,000 more women
than men. And few can realize the
meaning of this terrible fact. The
soldiers in Cuba at this present mo-
ment have unsatisied claims against
the government for six months pay
and entertain scant hopes Of ever re-
ceiviDg it.-Lontlom Telegraph.

Walking Erect.

Very few persons walk we'll. The
little girl Of six summers, with her
pretty new dress on, walks as straight
and elegantly as ever she will. Her
little feet are thrown forward with an
elasticity peculiar to that age. The
little girl of thirteen begins to be care
less, bends her back forward, and goe s
diving into the school-room as if she
were going to swim. At sixteen she
steps along with short steps, striking
her heels hard on the floor with a
don re-for-anybody sort of walk.
AT eighteen she thinks more of gait,
and tries to recall that of her earlier
childhood. The boy of eleven, with
his new thick boots, plants his foot
like soldier, and never knows that
his boots disturb anybody. Many
children are taught at home and at
school to walk on their toes. This
will do in sick room, when one has
sQueaking shoes, but it is not natural
or elegant. Put the heels down light
ly at FIRST, and the toes last; this
keeps the body erect, instead of ber Il.
ing the body forward as person must
bend who walks on his toes.
