THE FLEET HORSE IN POETRY.

f. S. Dellenbaugh has an article emit
tied 1.-The QuicN Horse" in ST. Nicholas
1t tells of the trained horses that play such
a prominent part in the modern fire de-
partment. Mr. Dellenbaugh says;
Mankind loves the horse, for the horse
has been one of mans most valuable aids
and companions in al countries and in al
ages. But there are preferences among
horses. Some are priced for their steady
working qualities-their ability to draw
heavy loads From time immemorial the
quality of speed has thrilled humanity and
found an echo in many a stirring poem

DEALS IN LEECHES.
! Peculiar Calling in which n Chicago
Tradesman Makes Money.

Peculiar Calling in " hich 'hlcaS"
Tradesman Makes Money.
Fifty wears ago the ordinary physl-
clan had two standard remedies which
applied to two-thirds of his cases. III
a man was suffering from fever or
stroke of apopleXy his first recourse
was to draw out gill to half pint OF
blood from one of his limbs: If bruIse
or a sprain caused a surface congestion
he applied a leech. which accomphs shed
the blood-ietting on a smaller scale, so
far as the affected part was concerned.
The leech is peculiar animal. he
lives ia bitches and ponds, WITH pure
running water, weeds for shelter and
muddy banks and bottom he may DO
preserved and kept alive in loose turf
or moss continually moistened. He
has an appetite for human blood which
is limited only by the amount that
can be contained in his very elastic
skin. Until he has had his fill he will
not release his hold; then he drops Oft
and dies. for the blood that he abSOrbS
so eagetly means death to him.
There is a man IN Chicago who
makes a business Of dealing exclusive
ly in leeches, and the number that he
sells in the course of year proves
that, although generally discarded by
the medical profession, there are still
great number of them used in the
course of a year, Along. one side of
his dingy little store are piled wooden
cases, some two feet square. Inside
these boxes are filled with moist black
tart, winch fairly swarms with ugly
little black bodies. There are l, 800
leeChes in each case. The cases are
usually imported in lots of from ten
twenty-five, so that in the course Of
the year the number handled by the
dealer must amount close up to the
hundred thousands
CAL my Ieeches come from Sweden, "
says the dealer, thrusting his hand in
to the moist earth and bringing up a
number of the squirming things.
"There are leeches in America, but
they lack the peculiar efficacy of these,
and, while they will draw blood they
are apt to leave irritation and inham-
nation behind These Swedish leech-
Is are found in the muck at the bot
tom Of small ponds, They are dug up
by the peasants, mostly women aud
and are packed IN wet earth

THE CUBAN SUFFERERS.
Daughters of the American Revolution
Learn of Three Essentials.


An American lady, residing IN Guam
tanamo, Cuba, has written letter othe
Oneida Chapter, Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, speaking of the m sdi-
rected charities, and stating that among
tine starving people three things seem to
be essential-coudenSed milk, quinine
pills and Scott's Emulsion of Cod LIVER
Oil
The request for the SCOTS Emulsion
was emphasized by the following state
ment: "a boy to whom | gave some,
when actually on his last legs, has jAst
come in looking s. bright and happy that
it has done me good. Oh. if had some
money! 1t is terrible ;" not be able to
help the suffering" This attracted the
attention If tie manufacturers, who en-
tered into correspondence with the Gu
ban Relief Committee, and found that
SCOTS Emulsion was being used IN cases
of extreme starvation where solid food
could not be properly assimilated;
whereupon they made arrangements for

THE CAPTIVES IN ATLANTA.
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE
SPANIARDS' POCKETS.
How They Pass Away the Time. Kept
from Public View Except At
Meal Time.

A special from Atlanta says The
sixteen Spanish prisoners OF war VINO
were brought here last night from hey
West have settled down philosophical
Iy to await their exchange orathe end
of the conflict.
Colonel DeCorteio is the nlyIone OF
the sixteen who has manifested re-
ralcitrant spirit. The colonel rs said
to be a brother-in law to General Wey-
Ter, but this he denies. He is, hQwev-
err, a millionaire, as are also gySQ hfhers
in the party, and as farlas nioaey can
do it he and they will make $heir pc
Rod of confinement as endurable as
possible. When searched after sbeing
brought here $4,000 in gold and pa
Der money was found on the men.
Colonel DeCorteio at first this morn
ing declared that he would eaGn6thing
that the blanketed Americans offered
him. but would starye himself to
death. He stuck to his resolution till
this afternoon, when he called for wa
ter and then something to ,eat- Strict
orders have been issued in regard to
visitors. and no one is allowed to see
the prisoners. This morning a crowd
went ont from the city to get a
glimpse of them, but were unsuccessful
except at II o'clock, when the prison
ers were marched about the post that

some needed exercise.
A strong guard accompanied them
and 10 stop was made. Several hun
bred spectators lined the walks and
passed comment, but there was no
demonstration. ,,-
When reyelIle was sounded . this
morning the prisoners were all awake
idly chatting with one another as they
lay on their cots. All seemed to be in
a good humor, and they cracked jOkes
in Spanish, while one or two Of them
took an early smoke.
AT breakfast they showed that they
had brought good appetites along, and
were not ayer3e to the army food that
was brought to them. They kept up
their talk, and seemed to take a great
deal OF interest in their surroundings,
commenting upon the size Of the mess
room and the rows of vacant tables
which must have told them that the
men who were accustomed to dine there
were off ready to engage with their
comrades The dozen or soldiers who
were left behind TO care for the post
had seats at the other end of the of. the
mess, and each party regarded the 9th
er with much interest. The prisoners
will not be allowed any great freedom,
but will be kept under strong guard.
They will not be confined in the jail
cages, but can move about at will in the
guard house, and will be given an arr
ing daily.
