HEALTH IN
CUBAN BIVOUAC.

Washington. April c..-Anticipating the
service the army will be called upon to per-
form in Cuba, Surgeon General George NJ
Sternberg of the army has issued circu-
lar of instruction to medical officers giving
directions for obtaining the highest sani-
tary conditions in camp life. The circular
follows:
''In time of war a great responsibility
rests upon medical officers of the army for
the result of campaign may depend upon
the sanitary measures adopted. or neg
lected, by the commanding generals of the
armies in the field The medical officer is
responsible for proper recommendations
relating to the protection of the health of
the troops in camp or in garrison, and 1t
is believed that as a rule medical officers
of the United States army are well in
formed as to the necessary measures OF
prophylaxis and the serious results which
infallibly follow a neglect of these meas
ures, especially when unacclimated troops
are called on for service in a tropical or
mi-tropical country during the siclSly
season.

not only with malarial fevers and the

rhoea and dysentery, but they will be more

The lack of excitement nervousness or

from peace to war seems likely to become
historical. Little or no effect upon general
trade distribution is perceptible in the re-

Wheat, whose strong statistical position
has been frequently referred to, has been
again marked up, chiefly because of the
excited foreign demand which has develop
ed, and of the heavy advances at consump-
ton points abroad. Corn, oats and flour
have likewise advanced, while pork and
other animal products have also been
marked up.
The demand for steel plates for vessels
to replace those taken by the government
is also a feature of. interest.
A feature of Importance is the immense
demand and rather inadequate supply of
freight room in vessels sailing from this
country in the near future Rates have
again advanced and shipments from several
ports are reported crippled not only by the
advanced quotations, but by the absolute
scarcity in some cases of neutral bot

Is Violent Death Painful?


From the New York Advertiser.
Severe injuries to the body are seldom
very painful at first. The severity of the
nervous shock seems to paralyze the nerve
center where consciousness of pain is stu
ated, and in fatal cases there is often no
sense of pain, even when death is delayed
day or two. In such cases 1t may be
supposed that the shock not only paralyzes,
but even destroys the nerve center. 1t may
be compared to lightning flash along the
telegraph wires, which, although of the
same nature as the electric telegraph cur
rent, yet so intense as to destroy the re-
ceiving instruments, so that no subsequent
messages can be received. In some fatal
injuries the nerve that would carry the
pain to the brain is destroyed and such ac-
cidents are almost painless Our sense of
pain is greatest in the skin, and deep
wounds are, therefore, not more painful
than shallow ones. In surgical operations
the skin incision is often the most painful
part, and those who have been run through
the body say they were conscious only of
something cold passing through them, with
just prick at the points of entry and exit
of the weapon. On the other hand, some
fatal injuries are very painful, especially
those that interfere with breathing, such
as injuries of the chest and throat.

which, to a sensitive mind, involves grave
difficulties when 1t is settled any other way.
In Alabama the troops will be Differed
by the men who have been found most
satisfactory to the rank and file, and we
trust a similar wise policy may be followed
in Georgia. AT any rate, it is to be hoped
that our military organizations will not be
subject to the discomfort and soreness that
may result from any policy that runs coun-
ter to the popular idea of justice
Meanwhile, we congratulate Governor
Johnston on the wisdom and justice of the
course he has followed. He has demon
strated that he is larger man than his
office, and that is saying a great deal in
these times.

Gov. Johnston 8 Course

From the Atlanta Constitution.
There seems to be no doubt that the
method adopted by Governor Johnston of
Alabama in responding to the call from
his state is the wisest course that could
have been followed. The necessary num-
Der of troops will be enlisted by companies,
and preference will be given to those or
CARNATIONS that compose the Alabama ma
tional guard. Thus the captain and Off
GERS of a company already organized are
not disturbed and volunteer companies are
permitted to choose their own officers.
This is the curse that should be adopted
in Georgia.
Under the wise plan of Governor Johnston
the commanding officers of the national
guard retain the positions which they now
occupy, and there is to be no "shake-up"
for political or other purposes. The plan
is wise because it is just. In every state
where there are military organizations the
companies and regiments are differed by
men who have the confidence and esteem of
the men under them, and who have won
the places they hold by reason of their
capacity as well by reason of the en-
ergy and enthusiasm they have displayed
in promoting the interests and furthering
the ends of the organizations with which
they are connected.
We presume the conditions in Alabama
are the same as those in Georgia, and of
these last we can speak by the card. In
this state the officers of the regiments and
the companies, from the highest to the
lowest, have devoted a large part of their
time to increasing the efficiency and pro-
noting the esprit du corps of the organiza-
tons with which they are connected. In
, season and out of season they have de-
voted themselves to their duties, and it
seems to be a pity that they should be
shuffied about and shaken up. If there
were any good reason for tiff the shutting
about and shaking up tended to promote
the efficiency of the troops-the case would
be different; 1t would be recognized as right
and proper But, on the contrary, it seems
calculated to produce the opposite result
1t breeds discomfort, and CRATES harshly
against the sense of Justice which would
retain in their places the men who have
had all the care and trouble of maintaining
the efficiency of the local military organiza-
lions.
Governor Johnston of Alabama is to be
congratulated on his wise avoidance of this
source of discomfort. BY receiving the reg
iments and companies intact, with the Off
GERS who have been selected by the men
themselves on account of thir special fit
ness for and their adaptation to the posi-
lions they occupy, the governor Of Alabama
has wisely and effectually solved problem

Ducks Kill a NIuskrat
From the Chicago Post.

From the Chicago Post.
A large Pekin duck, owned by Frank
Lewis of New Hampton N. Y, which has
Matched out an early brood of ducklings,
took them out on the Waikiki for a first
lesson in the art of swimming. They had
gone but short distance from the shore
when a muskrat seized one of the ducklings
by the leg. The squawk of fright which
1t gave as 1t was being drawn beneath the
water attracted the attention of the mother
duck, and few quick movements of her
feet brought her to the spot in time to
seize the muskrat by the tail.
The muskrat, surprised by the attack, re-
leased its grip on the duck1ing and turned
on the big duck. The thick feathers of
the duck protected 1t from the mushrat' 8
teeth. and its attacks produced SO little eff
fact that the duck did not release her hold
on the muskrats tail.
The splashing of the water made BY the
