tude of Dewey's victory at Manila has
been the wonder of the world, but we
now have an explanation of the un'
precedented valor of both officers and
men, and the remarkable tenacity OF
life they seem to possess. 1t is now
given out that two American girls on
tour, Miss Leighton of Michigan
and Miss HUMPHREYS, of New York
met Dewey's officers at Yokohama and
promised that they would kiss every
man in the squadron if the proper dis.
position was made of the Spaniards at
Manila. There are 1900 men in the
fleet, and every man wanted to live
long enough, at least, to receive the
promised reward.

THEIR WOMEN.

The status of women in any nation
might almost be taken as indication
of the stage of civilization it had
reached. A writer in the Chicago
Times Herald the other day gave some
statistics concerning the women of
Spain that the thoughtful reader can
not help regarding as significant. Ac-
cording to this authority, the Spanish
women rank about equally with those
of Turkey; and while we are reminded
at this point that Spain has produced
one or two women novelists of superior
quality, whose achievements Turkey
would scarcely match, still, it is posi-
BILE that in general way, and as far
as the average intellect of the Spanish
women is concerned, the statement
may not be altogether unjust. In a
population of 100000 females, but
100000 can read and write. In the
cities alone there are reckoned 81, 946
professional beggars of the gentler sex.
There are 828,531 women who earn
their living in farm work, and, while
this is honest and respectable it does
not mean high state of civilization
when large number OF women are
thus employed. Less than this num-
Der of girls are in the schools, either
public or private, Of Spain; the num-
Der of girls now being educated being
$4,000. The census shows that g..
754, 4O3 women have neither profession
nor trade and are dependent on charity
labor, or the hope of getting married
Whether dependent on charity
means on family resources, does not
appear, but the assumption must be
otherwise, since labor is reckOned az
an alternative. There are but seventy.
four women doctors. Even the women
school teachers number but 14,490
though there is double that number o.
nuns who teach. Spanish women
marry young, and when the marriage,
prove unhappy divorce is seldom re
sorted to, but division of goods and
separation afford the only relief. AL
together the Spanish woman, as repre-.
sented in statistics, Is apparently one
with the nation and suffering from
the same hindrances to advancement
that have afflicted her country, the
alluring beauty of mantilla and fan is
a delightful figure in romance and
poetry, but as the wife OF the citizen
and the mother OF the hero she seems
to have been found wanting in this
generation.

THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO.

Porto Rico-or, as the Spanish call
it, Puerto Rico was discovered by
Columbus in 1893 and has been held
by the Spanish since 1909. There has
been several revolutions with the OBJ
ject of gaining the independence of
the island-in 1920 and 1868, notably.
There are five ports Of entry. San
Juan is the capital and principal port.
Vegetation is exuberant, and the pro-
ducts include all the fruits and woods
of the tropics, sugar, coffee and tobacco
being the staples. The annual ex-
ports exceed $1O,OOO,OOO in value.
Salt beds are worked. There are I'M
worked deposits of gold, copper, iron
and coal. Horses and cattle are ex-
tensively bred. The conditions of the
island are such as to support comfort
ably an industrious population. The
people are superior to those of Cuba,
as q whole, both in blood and habits
of industry. The population is about
800, 900, made up as follows: whites,
430, 600; blacks and mulattoes, 10000
Jebaros, 30G,OO0. The Jebaros are OF
Spanish and Indian admixure, and
are mostly small farmers and laborers.
Less than 100000 of the population
can read and write, though industry
and good qualities are notable among
them. The islands resources remain
largely undeveloped. There is nc
vestige of local self-government, and
the affairs of the island are directly
controlled by the Spanish Congress-
Spaniards fill all judicial and military
posts. They drain the colony of its
public money. There are about $4,000
of them. Their conduct of public
affairs is VIGOROUSLY venal. Taxes are
excessive and burdensome. The total
revenue collected in year is nearly
81, 600, 900, three-fOurths of which goes
to support the army and navy. Most
of the remainder is paid out to en-
ployes OF the public works, who are all
Spaniards.
There is Captain General of the
island with a regular military force of
$500 men, recruited in Spain, and
about 5000 volunteers. A large per-
centage of the population is unfavor-
able to Spanish rule and would well
come deliverance from it, with more
tolerant government and an oppor
tunity to promote industry and bust.
ness and develope the country's latent
resources. The island lies 70 miles
east of Hayti and has an area of $3.50
square miles.

1t all happened at one of those pleasant
sea side resorts. where life is comedy from
day to day and tragedy has no place She
just stepped on the raft which She thought
was moored, and in pure idleness of mood
fell to rocking it from side to side. But
the raft was not moored. Her rocking had
slowly dislodged it from the sand. on which
it was grounded, and when she turned
around, she was afloat and the shore rod
behind her. She cried for help and was
heard by lonely fisherman who sat at

nets. How slowly he got up. How slowly
he tramped across the sandy shore. And

Poker In Vienna.

The passion for the game of poker
has spread with such amazing rapidity
in Vienna, where an effort is being
made by the police to suppress it, that
it recalls the hazard epoch, the game
that at one time marked the dividing
line between the Austrian aristocrat
and his social inferior
The difference now is that everybody

Join eagerly with merchants, lawyers
and clerks in the fascinating game. In
private cirles poker is played in the best
houses by people in excellent positions,
and what increases the evil is that it
has been taken up with enthusiasm by
ladies. In winter on the Tours" and
in summer at the fashionable baths and
watering places groups Of ladies engage
in the favorite game with all the ardor
of those half payoficers who, after the
disbanding Of Napoleon's armies, spent
their days and nights at faro.
Repeated cases have occurred of Ia
dies being unable to pay their weekly
summer pension through losses at play.
They leave their property as pledge in

for fresh funds, which they are often

"Hoss" swappers of Androscoggin.

GLOSS" Swappers of Androscoggin.
AS the days get shorter and the cold
creeps down more and more at lonesome
evening that class of Androscoggin
farmers known as boss swappers begin
TO gather in the sunny, mellow after
moons on the warm sides Of Faymarket
square, Lewiston, and exchange horses.
Tuesday just after dinner, for instance,
the most miscellaneous collection of old
ring boned, creased heel, spawned and
broken down nags ever seen in Lewiston
were collected in kindergarten ring
about the boss horse snapper, and every
one was talking at once. What scoop
that would have been for the agent OF
the society with the elastic name One
of the horses hadn't been fed and was
chewing a rag bit full of pepper, as was
easy to see by the CHASTITY manner IN
which it initiated the jumping and frisk-
ing of young horse.
One Of the horse swappers was call
ing attention to his steed in loud voice,
and all eyes were fixed upon it when it
suddenly lost it's balance and fell over
from exhaustion. All hands tried to set
the poor creature upon its feet, but it
had stood all it wanted to, and with q
sigh of relief it stretched out its neck
and gave up the ghost. The owner gave
a Job man 10 cent piece and the har-
ness and cart to take the body to the
city field and bury it.-Kennebec Jour-

FOUNDER OF TIE REDCROSS
Who Spent Fortune and a Lifetime to
Establish This Movement.

v = L
Establish This Movement.
"To Mr.. Henri Dunant, Swiss gen
tleman, belongs the honor of inaugural
ing this movement, - writes Belle N.
Brain, telling "The Story of the Red
Gross" in The Womans Homo Com
panion. "Being in Italy at the time of
the battle of Solferino, June "a, 1853,
he visited the battlefield. Appalled, by
the needless and terrible suffering, he
remained many days, doing all in his
power to relieve it. During these terri
BILE days Mr.. Dunant conceived the idea
of a system of organized relief whereby
aid could be given under such circum-
stances. Returning home, he published
q little book called 'Recollections of
Solferino' that aroused great interest.
His appeal touched responsive chord
in all hearts. Being invited to address
the General Society of Public Utility
on the subject, be unfolded to them his
plans. From that time forward he la
bored indefatigably to win adherents to
his cause, writing articles, delivering
addresses, travelling from place to place.
consulting officials high in authority at
the European courts. i i x By the pro-
vision of the Red Cross treaty surgeons,
nurses, ambulance trains and all hos
pital supplies are considered neutral,
provided they display Uniform badge
and flag, accompanied by their national
flag.
"In compliment to Mr. Dunant and
the Swiss government the protective
sign and flag agreed upon was red
Greek cross on white ground-the re-
verse of the Swiss flag. Turkey alone
has objected to this. Her soldiers, in
their intense hatred of the Christian
symbol, refused to work under banner
with cross, and they were allowed to
use a red crescent in its place.
"Mr. Dunant is now about 70 years
of age. Having spent half his fortune
in establishing the Red Cross and hay
ing lost the other half in unfortunate
business ventures he lived for many
years, poor and forgotten, in plain
district infllnary in Switzerland of
which he himself was the founder
Now, however, through the pensions
granted him by the dowager empress Of
Russia and the federal council of
Switzerland ana Che generous gifts of
money sent him by the citizens of Stuff
