a number a. readers are curious .
know what 10 meant BY tho frequent
reference to the fear Of Z 'sCarlist up
rising" In Spain. At the death Of
King Ferdinand Of Spain. in 1883, his
8-year-old daughter. Isabella IL. sue
ceeded to the throne, though Carlos,
Ferdinand's brother, claimed to be en-
titled to the honor under the salic law,
which provided that no female should
90 to the throne a. long az any male
defendant Of the King was living.
This law. however, had been revoked
by Ferdinand, who had no children at
the time, but six months after his death
q daughter was born. and she became
queen to the exclusion Of Carlos. The
latter's descendants, who are called
Carlists, have since persistently insist
ed that, by right OF succession, the
throne belongs to them, and for over
so years Spain has been subject to Car
list uprisings. which have simply meant
q number Of unsuccessful wars, the de-
struotion Of property. and general pub
lie unrest. The Carlists have found
their strength In what are called the
Basque provinces. dominated mostly
by the clergy, who believe in the divine
right of kings and Of kingly success
sion. The inhabitants of the Basque
region are largely shepherds and farm
ers. They are good fighters. and have
been the main strength Of the Carlist
forces. A strong sentiment In favor OF
a republic exists In the cities, where
the people have been led to independ-
emit views by education, reading and
travel. It is unnecessary to say that be-
tween what are called the Republicans
and the Carlists there Is strong anti
pathy, for their aims are radically diff
ferent. In 1873 Spain was republic.
and the people owe to that brief period
of popular government many of the lib
critics which they now enjoy.-Les-
lies Weekly.

without being benefited and has used
several specific rheumatic cures, but
was not helped. About one year and
six months ago he read In this paper Of
a case somewhat similar to his which
was cured by Dr.. Williams Pink Pills,
and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt
somewhat better, and after using three
boxes. the pains entirely disappeared,
the dizziness left him, and he has now
for over year been entirely free from

Steel sieepers in Switzerland.

The st. Gethard Railway Company,
in Switzerland and Italy report very
satisfactory results from the use OF
steel sleepers on their lines. In 1889,
when the road was opened, it was laid
with wood sleepers, but as these have
had to be replaced, it has been done
with steel instead, and at the present
time 70 per cent of the road Is laid on
steel ties. The sleepers weigh 1853
pounds each, are 8.85 feet long. The
cost, when new, with attachments, is
$l.95, which, allowing for the value OF
the old material and the cost of laying,
is reduced to s1.e2 per sleeper, which
is saving of z per cent over wood
sleepers. The line Is heavy one, and
the trains are hauled at express speed.
The engines weigh 100 tons each. The
cost of steel ties In the end lie less than
that of wood. In tunnels, wooden ties
are preferred, as they are not liable to
rust, but in other places the deteriora-
tion due to rust is absolutely insigni6.

American soldiers landed from the
Comal and took breakfast ashore.
Their appearance excited universal
curiosity, large crowds following from
the wharf and commencing their quiet
and gentlemanly conduct. The attitude
of the people here of all classes toward
the American soldiers and correspond

is one Of courtesy and politeness.
An assignment OF 10 men from the
Comal visited the graves of the VIC
Tins Of the battle-ship Maine. Cap

Brice. and aide-de-camp to General

delicate green's may be kept attractive
and fresh by planting them in tin
pan purchased to fit glass bowl. The
pan should be we'll perforated before
the earth Is put into it, and the ferns
planted. They must be kept moist to
keep them In thrifty condition, and
perfect drainage will be necessary to
carry off the surplus moisture and keep
the soil from souring. With an occa-

New French Microphone.

A new microphone is being exhibited
before the French Academy of Sciences.
1t detects at great distance the APP
proach of a ship, whether an armored
vessel or torpedo boat. and gives Its
warning with great clearness. 1t Is to
be subjected to tests at Cherbourg.
Some years ago Commander Banare
proposed an instrument which he called
q hydrophone and by which he was able
to hear at distance OF mile or mile
and half vibrations produced by q
screw of torpedo boat, or the more
regular beat of the screw of large bat
tleship. 1t consisted Of water tight
box, the vibratory plate being inside
to prevent the pressure of the water
from acting upon it too directly. The
wires from the transmitter were carried
first to float to make sure the trans
mitter would be continually immersed;
from the float the wires were carried to
a receiver on ship or on the shore.
Thus with two or three miles of wire
1t becomes possible to receive warning
of the approach of vessel from four
to five miles distant.
