AS TO ORUMBLING.

The Secretary of War seems to be an
easy going sort of a fellow. especially
when 1t is some other fellows stomach
that is empty and some other fellows
wound that is gaping and bleeding.
There is a pretty widespread opinion
that the army that captured Santiago
was unprepared for the campaign in
every respect but that of unconquer-
able courage and superb physical en-
durance. There were not enough guns
for the lighting, there were not enough
rations for the feeding and the medical
department went all to pieces when Il
came to caring for the wounded. Never
in modern history, perhaps, was for
titled town forced TO surrender as was
Santiago. its defences carried by as
sault without single siege gun to de-
stroy them in advance. Probably never
before did an army so little removed
from its base Of supplies go hungry so
notably as did the boys before Santi-
ago. They fought and won without
siege guns and without sufficient food
and as rule, we believe, most of the
wounded survived despite the awful
lack of medical supplies because the
Red Cross was on hand. providentally
anticipating just such a collapse of
another stan department
But all this neglect and suffering
and failures,the Secretary of War would
cheerfully tell us is the very essence of
real war, as compared to a military
parade, we suppose. Referring TO COM
plants against the commIssary he de-
clares that they come from persons who
"know nothing about army life in war"
ut has always occurred and always
WILL" he writes TO Gen. Dodge. THAT
Is war and war would not be war with
out IT,"
| This is all very fine. OF course. But
no such debonair observations as Ia
what war is like viii serve TO satisfy
public opinion that an expedition like
that sent TO Santiago need have been
put to the chances OF party OF Indian
chasers set adrfft in an Arizona desert

Household Inventories.

One of the latest aids toward sim
plifying ones responsibilities is the
Inventory of Household Goods. which
is in the form of small pamphlet, de-
signed for the use of housekeepers who
are going to rent their flats furnished
send their goods to storage warehouses
or insure them, or for those systematic
women who demand such n list for the
peace of their souls. These inventories
are very comprehensive and should be
a part of every well regulated house,
hold.
A page is devoted to each separate
room-parlor, library, dining room,
kitchen, bedrooms bath room, &C.
Under different captions are spaces for
the number of each article--5 chairs. 2
sofas &C.: their values, descriptions,
location. Not kitchen utensil is
omitted; not a piece of bric-a-brac or
n soap dish. Whoever is responsible
for the making of the lists has done the
work in d thorough manner. At the
back of the book are some odd pages
for a fuller description of the bric-a-
brac and the books. so that detailed
description may be written and the
books named by title. binding &C.
Whoever has wrestled with the hor-
rors of packing and unpacking or with
the absolute ignorance that assails one
after n fire as TO the extent OF loss will
be gratefully conscious of the possess
sion of one of these aids to memory
and to a good temper.

'What a shame" continues the secre-
sary. pathetically. "that grumblers at
home are trying to do anything TO
eclipse the glory of that magnificent
victory. no matter what hardshps the
soldiers endured. The GROWERS are
always those who stay at home"
Right you are. Mr.. Secretary! The
GROWERS are always those who ''stay
at home"-or. to put 1t irrbetter Ian
guage. who are at home because their
government hasn't yet needed their
services. There are a quarter of a mill
lion men under arms, but there are
many millions 'at home" and they are
all interested in those boys at the front.
Being good soldiers the latter aren't
supposed to growl. But the millions at
home will growl for them-the 'grum-
blers at home" have that right and they
propose TO exercise 1t without blushing.
There is no danger that the glory of
victory will be eclipsed, thereby. 1t is
all the more glory that the men who
conquered Santiago were hungry when
they fought and were unattended for
hours when they lay wounded and
dying-all the more glory for the boys,
that is. But there is no glory in 1t for
the war department that permitted all
the unnecessary sacrifice--it is shame,
that's what 1t is and the "grumblers at
home" will continue to stick to it that
it does matter what hardships the SOL
diers endured"
San Juan is several hundred miles
farther away than Santiago, but there
is reason to believe that the war de-
partment has so managed that expedi-
tion that "those who stay at home
won't suffer so many heart aches
when the reports from the front come
in. At least 1t is hoped so.
Success may make a people forget
mistakes and pardon them, but that's
a long way from justifying them.

treated as well as the government knew
how TO treat them. The most famous
incident OF the prison history was the
attempt TO seize Camp Douglas in 1864.
The plot was TO seize the guard. lib
crate the prisoners and burn Chicago
rather a comprehensive undertaking.
But COL Sweet, I'm command. heard OF
the plot in time. and by Strengthening
his guard prevented any attempt to
carry IL out This was I'm June. In Mo-
vember Col. Sweet heard that another
attempt would be made on election
night November s.
+ Col. Sweet had no time to get a
stronger guard; there Were few soldiers
lying around at that time OF the war.
So he had TO do the best he could. First
he used a spy, one John Shanks, a
Texas ranger a prisoner; he was al
lowed to escape under a heavy fire. and
found his way to Chicago, where he
soon became intimate with the Con-
federate leaders of the plot. From him
Col. Sweet learned that an expedition
of about $50 prisoners who had escaped
had come over from Detroit to attend
the democratic national convention.
They had been recognized and had left
the city. The same men with others,
Shanks reported TO Col. Sweet, had
come back on November 1. ready tc
take advantage of the excitement of
election night The camp guard con-
sisted OF 1856 officers and men, who
guarded 1852 prisoners.
On Sunday, November 6, Col. Sweet
began to work. About . o'clock that
night these persons were arrested:
Col. G.. st. Leger Grenfell John Shanks.
Col. Vincent Marmaduke. Gen. Walsh
of the Sons of Liberty and Judge Buck
ner Morris, treasurer of the Sons. More
were gathered in the next night, until
before November IS about 130 persons
had been arrested. Col. Sweet also got
a lot of arms and ammunition. This
was the end of the trouble at Camp
Douglas.

The Famous Ships of the Vikings

Take the ships of the Norsemen, the
famous ships OF the Vikings. They
were familiar objects, known not, in
deed all the way from China TO Peru,
but quite as far as distance and travel
then went-namely, from Iceland to
Constantinople: they defied the seas
and smoked through the ocean when
other sailors of their day were creeping
along shore with faces gloomy with
anxiety and uneasiness; they were row.
ers and were fired with the spirit of
piracy. and their little ships were won
derfully well designed for the red trade
of the raw bone and no quarter; they
were so confident of successfully
knew the life of the sea. the dogs.--that
they carried lumber vessels with them
stored with slaves, provisions and
munitions OF war. and when the prize
fell easily into their hands the lumber
ship was loaded with booty Those who
built the vessels OF the Vikings were
men of exquisite skill in their craft.
They went to sea for ideas. They
eyed the wheeling gull: they studied
the motions of the fish. Clearly they
produced out OF themselves without
reference to what had been done else
where. The remains OF a plank built
boat were unearthed in Denmark about
half century since. She was supposed
10 have been as old as the fifth century:
her measurement was seventy-seven
feet from stem 10 stern. It does not
appear that she borrowed help from
canvas The rowers dipped their oars
in chase and flashed the delicately
shaped structure through ID as fast as
a gale OF wind could have driven her.
Her sheer. her lines. are those of a

Baltimore clippers from anything like
her. She will stand for the typical shin

OUR METEOROLOGICAL FRIEND.
THE HOUSE FLY.

The United States government is
not so taken up with war that 1t can
not devote some attention TO the little
troubles OF life and living as is indi-
Gated by the appearance from the De-
partment OF Agriculture. division of en-
tomology, OF an instructive treatise on
the house fly. the musca domestica.
that is. and it's associates so we'll known
to us all for its ability to pass our
trocha OF screens and get into a house
and its disinclination to patronize the
various devices OF human ingenuity,
known as fly catchers, SO generally as
we would like.
The chronological department of the
United States government says truly
that common and widespread as the
house fly is. there is very general igno-
rance as TO its life history and habits.
Indeed II appears that up to 1873 even
government employees. who are COM
monty supposed TO have time enough
on their hands. had neglected to inves-
tigate the subject. Meanwhile citizens
of the United States were devoting
great part of the annual season OF rest
and recreation in impotent slappings at
the musca domestica wholly in igno-
rance of its life history prior to its ar
rival at the stage when 1t torments the
human face and creates demand for a
garnish of fly paper to the dinner table.
1t appears, however, from the studies
house fly, as long suspected, is a thing
of rapid maturity and many genera
tions in a seasons course. Moreover a
stable is by all odds the favorite culti-
waiting place of the house fly, and this.
too. has been usually maintained by
persons whose residences were near to
a stable. Each mother fly is credibly
reported to be good for 120 future flies,
which, on the whole. is probably less
than most people had supposed. Incl
dentally IL may be noted that the little
fly that occasionally torments us is by
no means the young OF the ordinary fly
but a species by itself while the big
blue bottle is likewise a class by itself
and not an ordinary house fly of COM
merce overgrown.
If recollection serves us right, we
used to be told that flies existed for a
sanitary object and in their modest way
served the public as scavengers. But
this report of their operations makes
no mention of this which must proba-
bly, be allowed to pass with other vain
theories seeking a goodly reason for
every product of nature. There is no
excuse acceptable to human kind for
the existence of the house fly any more
than there is for the mosquito or the
book agent. On the contrary, there is
abundant proof to the effect that the
house fly is capable of carrying around
and delivering contagious diseases.
For the safeguarding of the house
hold the department has nothing new
to offer beyond the screen and the fly
paper. 1t suggests that boards of
health should give attention to stable
cleanliness and offer the hope that with
the growing use of the bicycle and the
horseless carriage the conditions of life'l
due to the house fly may be amelio-
rated.
