REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A girl is a coquette from the time she wears her first new dress.
 If all the world ever loved a lover times have changed great deal.
 The most acceptable fairy grand mother is a crabby old spinster aunt with lot of money.
 He who is always talking about the joys of married life doesn't have tC bother much with the children.
 In saying goodby the man who ap- pears the calmest and least unmoved feels the keenest. She who seems mcst fearful and demonstrative is least af fected.
 It is easy enough for man to fool another. Only an adept can fool wo- man. A woman never can fool anoth- CT woman, but the dullest of them find the shrewdest of men unsophisti cated.

 In modern naval battle most wounds are caused by fragments of bursting shells. Such wounds are said by so competent an authority as Sur geon General Stevenson to be generally less dangerous to life than those pro ducsd by the ordinary small bore bull lets on the field of battle. They are often superficial rather than deep, though the flesh is generally much bruised and torn.
 In the case of wounds from frag- ments of shell, there is much danger from the Judgment of foreign sub stances; bits of the projeatile itself, shreds of clothing, etc, often being deeply imbedded in the flesh. There must be carefully rSmoved or they will infect the wound and cause serious trouble. The clothing immediately over the wound is always carefully ex- amined to see if any portion of it is missing, which has probably baen car ried into the flesh.
 The men at the guns are careful. instructed to avoid touching wounds with their hands, smeared as they must be with powder ana grease.
 It is not until the guns are silent that the surgeons real work begins. The most urgent cases, such as those of hemorrhage, are always taken first the question being how to save a; many lives as possible. Whiskey and other stimulants are given to those who are suffering from shock, and wounds are covered with pads of gauge wrung out in antiseptic solution, until such time as their treatment can be undertaken in detail.

Some Interesting Bits of the H,stor!
 of the Island.

Trinidad, where Spain has been found to have surreptiously concealed a coaling station, is not, as has been conveniently supposed, the island on which Hayden Hickey projected the founding of a monarchy. That is a desolate reef which lies off Rio. This is a place situated above the Orinoco much as is dot on an i. Columbus sighted it first From the masthead he beheld three mountain tops. Hence its name. Its interest is elsewhere. Sir Walter Raleigh, whom Queen Eiiz- abeth called a little dear and Coke a spider from hell, sailed, once upon a time, that way. Precisely as Ponce de Leon sought in the neighboring waters for the fountain of eternal youth, so did this picturesque adventurer seek the Eldorado. The belief in the exis- tenee of city of gold and of gems was one of the Authorizations of the age. Orellana, one of PiZarro's lieutenants, inspired it. Near to the Orinoco, stretched, he declared, a land so rich that the wealth Of Mexico and of Peru was but genteel poverty in comparison. The story, repeated from Lisbon to London, gathered embroideries in tran sit It set Europe mad. According to the accounts recited, in the center of an island of glimmering green stood palace. Built of marble, fronted with columns of alabaster, surrounded with galleries of ebony incrusted with pearls, it surged an image of what a castle in paradise may be. Behind it were three mountains, one Of emerald, one of silver, and one of gold. Within was a delicious court in which lions roamed and where dazzling altar sup ported disk of the sun, b5fore which four lamps burned perpetually. While around and about was fairyland.
 Fl Dorado, literally, the Gildcd, so called because of the magnifcence of his appearance, was the sovereign oi this enchantment His b3dy, rubbs each morning with gum, was dusted with gold powder. The cos ume3 being less convenient than pajamas, at night
 he was scrubbed and on the morrow
 regilded. It is worth noting that ac-
 cording to Humboldt the Guyana chiefs used to roll in turtle fat and
 then cover themselves with mica, the
 metallic effect of which must have bsen equally gorgeous, but that is a detail. Expeditions to the fantastic realm of the fabulous inca succeeded ! each other from every port One oi
 them was led by Sir Walter Raleigh
 Three hundred and three years ago he ! sailed for Trinidad. He found it and the mountains, too, but of the heights
 of emerald, silver and gold, of Ell Do- rado, of the Jeweled palace, the lions, altar and the rest, not trace. It will
 be assumed that on his return he ex-
 ploded the legend. Not a bit of it. He
 said that the place was just as had 1 been described, only more so, and to I Queen Elizabeth he related that al sight of her picture the Gilded One had
 swooned with admiration. No wonder
 she called him little dear No won l der that Coke called him a spider from hell when the lie was discovered. Nc

 surprise when it was found that Spain had secured there a port as a coalins

Surgical Relief Administered Beside
 the Gun Before Surgeon Attends.
 It is not generally known that the m9n at the guns of an American war ship are provided by the navy sur geons with appliances for quickly min fstering to the needs of their wound ed comrades during the progress of a fight
 There is a supply of rubber band ages and dressings near each of the big guns, and the crew is told just what to do for an injured man before it is possible for the doctors to attend stay the loss of blood, which is the deaths in battle.
 Wives and mothers will agree that it is better to save one of our own injured men than to slaughter a dozen of the enemy, and this principle is ac- cepted in the navy. As soon as a man falls one of his comrades runs to his aid If he is wounded in the leg, the limb is quickly bound with rubber tub ing in such way as to stop the hem orrhage, if possible, and antiseptiC dressings are applied according to the instructions already given by the sur geons. The injured limb is ther bound to the uninjured one for protec- tion and support, and the man is drag ged to place of safety. Then his comrade, who has acted as surgeon for the time being rushes mack to his place by the gun.
 In the most protected places on the ship dressing stations are established In this way the wounded can be more | quickly attended to than was possible in the old days, when they had to b' carried to the sick bay before receiving the first assistance
 There is male nurse assigned tt each of the doctors. The nurse carrie: dressings and other things necessar! for immediate use, and assists the doc

At an auction sale of snuffboxes which

to examine, while the conversation went

once more the particular uniform worn on
this occasion, and, putting his hand into
one of the pockets, felt bulky substance

would be madness for larger craft to at

around when the big ships are in acton,

a torpedo at the nearest enemy, protecting
the cruisers and battleships from the at

WRITTEN BY JUDGE JAY L. TORREY
AT the beginning of the last war the
zOuave regiments which were first or
ganized were received with great popular
enthusiasm and did much to arouse the
martial spirit. Now the war with Spain
seems imminent, the military enthusiasm
seems likely to be aroused for quite diff
ferent kind of organization and yet one
which bids fair to be equally picturesque.
! refer to my voluntary offer to organize
o regiment of cowboys for service against
the Spaniards l was presented by Sena-
tor Warren of Wyoming the other day to
the president and asked authority to i'm
mediately organize twelve troops of cow
boys, urging their known loyalty and ad-
mitted bravery as reason why they should
be called into service and referred to them
as hardy men, perfect horsemen and able
to cope with all difficulties and competent
to provide for themselves under all cir
cumstances. The president expressed his
thanks and without making any promises
assured both Senator Warren and myself
that i'll any case of necessity the cowboys
should be Remembered
We also called upon General Nelson A.
Miles, commanding the army, and cam
vassed the situation and considered at
length the subject of the organization of
the cowboy rangers. Upon the subject Gen
eral Miles said 1.-THE services of such a
regiment would prove invaluable to the
government. The cowboys are able in
pre-eminent degree to take care of them
selves. They are always at home and
know where they are; even blizzard is
unavailing to lose one of them They are
the best horsemen in the world and do not
know what fear is"
In reply to the inquiry as to what might
be done in preliminary way towards get
ting ready. he said: "Pick out your subor-
dinate officers and find out where your men

would be more effective than if they were
