Up to date the returns show that there are
about 10000 volunteers on the army rolls.
Whether or not there will be another call

dispatch from Martinique states that the
Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba will return
to the former port for coal. The dispatch
further says that they will not be allowed
to coal at Martinique. This dispatch indi.
Gates that the Spanish fleet is short of coal
and that they are unable to secure a suppIv
at Santiago. This places them at a great dis
advantage and will cripple them in an effort
to avoid the combined fleets of Sampson and
Schley.
1t is believed in the Navy Department that
Admiral Cervera's feet will be either COM
pletely destroyed or driven away from Cuban
waters within the next week. Secretary
Alger, going upon this theory, is making
every preparation to have about seventy
thousand men ready to leave Key West for
Cuba upon short notice. The officials say no
possible contingency can prevent the prompt
movement of United States troops in Cuba.

origin of Certain surnames.

Surnames were introduced into Eng
land by the Normans and were adopted
by the nobility about 100. The old
Normans used Fitz, which signified
son, as Fitzherbert. The Irish used o
for grandson-O'Neal, O'Donnell. The
Scotch Highlanders used Mac, as Mac
donald, son of Donald. The Welsh
used APP, as Ap Rhys, the son of Rhys,
Ap Richard. The prefix APP eventu-
ally was combined with the names Of
the father-hence Prys, Pritchard, etc.
The northern nations added the word
son to the fathers name, as William
son. Many of the most common sur
names, such as Johnson, Wilson, Dy-
son. Nicholson, etc, were taken by
Brabanters and others, Flemings, who
were naturalized in the reign of Henry
VI. 1895.

Sword and Share Combined.

Yankee hands forged the swords with
which all Cubans are armed. The
machete-pronounced "machetty'-
which is the implement for all needs
throughout Spanish America, has long
been made by the thousand at Hart
ford, Conn, and sold to all Ameri-
can Spanish speaking neighbors. This
blade is first cousin to the saber of our
cavalry, but while the saber serves
only one purpose, the machete serves
many, and is as useful in peace as in
war. Almost every Spanish-American
male above the age of childhood carries
a machete. The laborer has it, be-
cause with the machete he cuts sugar
cane, prepares frewood, and trenches
the ground for his crops. The horse
man wears the machete because with
it he cuts his way through the wood
lands during Journeys over rough
country. 1t is sword spade and hedg-
ing bill, axe, Ratchet and pruning
knife. The hidalgo wears it with sill
vered hilt and tasseled scabbard; his
humber neighbor is content to carry
it bare and hilted with horn, wood or
leather. The machete may be had in
nearly thirty different forms. The
blade, which varies in length from ten
to twenty-eight inches, may be either
blunt or pointed, curved or straight,
broad or narrow. The favorite with
the laborer is the machete of medium
length, with unornamented handle and
broad, straight blade. The Spanish
American hidalgo bears a scabbarded
machete, long, straight, or curved, as
taste prompts.

A Laugh on tho French Police.


Mile. Jeanne Granier, the well
known French actress, once met with
an amusing adventure. 1t happened al
Marseilles. In one of the little pieces
she plays by herself she has for aces
sorry the lay figure of man, skilfully
articulated and dressed in a travelling
suit, with which she dances
The figure during the voyage was
enveloped in a tight fitting covering
On reaching Marseilles it was left in
the luggage room with other things
The curiosity of two of the railway
employees being aroused at the sight OF
IL, they took off the covering and re-
solved to play a joke on their COM
rades. They placed the figure In an
arm chair at the desk Of the cashier
and shut the door. When the en-
ployes on night service came they
opened the door and were surprised to
see a man sitting down before the cash
box. They Immediately closed and
locked the door and ran for assistance.
A policeman arrived, revolver in hand
had to deal with a dangerous thief.
He called on the figure to surrender
and follow him to the station. AS ii
did not obey the summons, the police
man shut the door and went in search
of achievements to surround the
place, and thereby prevent the culprit
from escaping. The door was again
opened. the armed force entered, and
1t was not till they had suddenly
pounced on the poor lay robber that
they discovered the joke.
