NOT .As RAD As TT MIGHT BE.

As misery is sometimes cheered by company, 1t may be worth while to mo- tiee that the men taking part in the campaign of the United States in tropical countries haven't fared as badly as did those who took part in the campaign waged by France in Madagascar. In 1895 the French gov ernment sent 12,000 troops to Madagas- car, an island which Is about as far south of the equator as Cuba Is north. Operations began in February. They were over in November. All in the cool season. By October the men in this force were dying at the rate of forty-five per day. In ten months 5000 men had died out of 12,000 and 5000 were in hospitals. In battle only seven were killed and ninety-four wounded. Our army has had S2000 men in tropical islands for the last two months and the deaths in this force are not 500 all told.
 Such facts as these do not excuse anybody who has done wrong by the soldiers of the United States, but they show that the situation is not as bad as it might be, or as bad as similar situations have been.

THE NEW COLLEGE IN CHICAGO.

"The College of Commerce and Poli- ties sounds well in speech and looks we'll in print. And there are those who think 1t will prosper. The new college is a part of the University of Chicago, and it will begin operations at the opening of the fall term. It is intended to provide for those whose tastes lie along the line of commerce and politics, and at the same time to prepare them for special training in certain forms of business, of politics, of journalism, and of diplomacy. The principal work marked out by the cur riculum is in the departments of polit- ical economy, political science, history and sociology. The courses afford in- struction concerning commerce and the domestic and foreign relations of our industries and our politics. They will also deal with the principal econ omic, social, and political problems which confront the leading nations of the world.
 It is said that this college is the re- suit of investigations made in Ger many and other European countries by Professor James, who was sent abroad by the American Bankers As sociation to examine and report upon the foreign system of commercial edu- cation.

SAEETY IN coRN-pIrH.

United States corn is winning favor in countries where it was formerly thought to be only fit for pigs to eat, and United States corn-pith is also go- ing on conquering and to conquer. At trial of it made the other day by the Russian admiralty board on the prov burg, a coffer-dam six feet long, six feet deep and three feet broad was packed with blocks of cellulose made from the pith of Indian corn stalks The material was supplied by the Mar sden company of Philadelphia. A six inch solid shot was fired through the dam, striking it about twenty inches from the bottom. The shot passed clear through both the iron walls and the eel lulose packing. Less than half 8 pound of the cellulose was carried out by the projectile. The water compartment of the dam was filled, giving pressure of nearly five feet of water on the perfor- ated surface. In just half an hour a moist spot began to show on the outer surface of the dam, but it was evident that the moisture had come along the bottom of the packing and not along the path of the shot. In four hours no water had come through the shots path. The experiment conclusively demonstrated that ship provided with coffer-dam, packed as was the one used in the experiment, could be per- forated five feet below the water line without the least danger of the entrance of water.
 Good enough. When things are so arranged that a battleship cannot be set on fire, sunk or broken to pieces a naval battle will be still more interest ing than such affairs have been.

challenge comparison with almost any part of the empire. Asparagus and strawberries are grown in abundance, ana the most successful nursery gar dens in Germany are to be found be- tween Potsdam and Berlin. It is, how ever, in the cherry orchards of Werder that the suburban resident makes his most confident appeal. They are plant ed on the slopes of sandy dunes, and the glory of their blossom in spring and the fruits of their flower in summer are due to the most careful cultivation and parental indulgence of the soil. The whole great mass of cherry trees consists of @ forest of dwarfs, cut so low that the branches almost touch the ground, and the ripening fruit gathers the full benefit of the reflected heat of the sand. The ground about the roots is kept free from weeds, so that no foreign growth may absorb such nour- ishment as it contains, and every tree has its private collector of rain. The prosperity of Werder and other fruit growing centers in Brandenburg atones in a measure for the rural emigration
 which is fast emptying the fields of their laborers.
 The landscape gardener, too, has found vocation in the suburbs, In
 Karshorst in the east, in Pankow in the north, in Mahlow and Wannsee in the south, and all the way through Zehlendorf and Grunwald to the very edge of the pine trees and the begin nj nf ha oit of l,o, ra grown up in the last few years for the health and happiness of hardwork- ing business men. A villa in the sub urbs means more to a Berliner than to Londoner. It means a release from the flats system of dwelling house, It means the enjoyment of an independent front door and the novelty of a domes- tic staircase. It is, perhaps, due to the sense of reaction that the villa resi-
 dents display their taste in every kind of variety. Rococo maisonettes, nina ture castles with tiny battlements, Ba- varian cottages, Swiss chaplets, and many other styles are affected by these liberated citizens. Each little house
 has its own little garden, where artifi- cial gnomes and kobolds renew the TO-
 nance of a Teuton wood.
 i The colonies" so far at least as the cheaper residences are coneerned,s are
 worked by limited building societies
 which are far from proving so disas- 1 trous an experiment in Germany as
 they have occasionally turned out

THE ORIGIN OF THE CUBAN FLAG

THE ORIGIN OF THE CUBAN FLAG
 A reader of the Commercial Gazette asks the origin and meaning of the Cuban flag. Opportunely at this time comes an interesting story concerning 1t from Dr. John Guiteras, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, who is better known as scientist and a physician than as a representative of the Cuban junta. Dr. Guiteras' story is interest ing and fascinating. It dates back to the days of romance and adventure when General Narciso Lopez, some- time officer of the Spanish army, after ward revolutionist and filibusterer first championed the cause of Cuba Libre. Though born in Venezuela, Lopez loved his adopted people. Seeing the oppres- sion under which they groaned, he re- signed his commission in the ranks of Spain and came to the United States. Here he secretly organized an expedi- ton with which to conquer the Pearl of the Antilles and fire it from the heavy yoke of the mother country.
 The flag" said Dr. Guiteras, was designed by General Lopez in 1851, when, for the second time, he invaded Cuba It was first raised at Cardenas in the same year. The five stripes stand for the five departments into which Cuba was then divided. The colos of the American flag and the lone star were accepted because this move- ment of General Lopez had some ten dency to annexation. Texas, formerly the Lone Star State, had had her am- bition gratified. She had been admit ted to the union six years before. The Cuban flag indicated the generals wish that this lone star, new risen, should son also be placed among the others in the glorious emblem of the United States. When General Lopez was ask ed why he placed the star on red field instead of blue he said: I want to be rebel in everything, even

women demurred, for the change was too sweeping. Then along came shirt waist days, and whoop! to smash went the whole new code. The designers discontinue wasn't so complete but that they promised enforcement of their rulings with the arrival of au- tumn, yet fall is here and so is defeat for the false guides. The fancy bodice wouldn't down, women wouldn't even style it 'dressy bodice" and new fall dresses for general wear stand for womens independence in this matter Two models of many that show up the rule that wouldn't work are presented here.
 The left hand one had a skirt of stone gray cloth self trimmed with bias folds to simulate an apron overskirt. The jacket bodice was green cloth trimmed with tucking and stitching and was worn with a white cloth vest that had shawl collar and revers. For neck finish there were white linen chemisette and a dark four-in-h hand, and black velvet gave the belt. This combination of gray and green is new and promises to prolong the stylish ness of gray, which has been fashion able for a long time, as lives of fash ions go. The new combination offers a suggestion to the woman who has a gray suit that she wishes to re-estab- fish. In the dress of the seated woman were skirt of mastic cloth self-trim- med with bias folds of the same that met at the waist in front and extended round the bottom, and blouse waist of blue shot taffeta On this were tucked bands and rows of lace inser- tion, running horizontally, while the vest was tucked lens.hwise and framed with frills of pleated blue chiffon fol- lowed by plain bias fold of the silk dotted with buttons. Such gowns are not only as attractive as those the mis- taken designers would have women wear, but they offer chances for econ omical extension of small wardrobes that the closely matched skirts and bodices did not permit. They were one suit only and all the time, and being so were extravagant, even though in- expensive of themselves
