SOUDAN INCONVENIENCE.
Spiders and Dust Make Life Inexpres

Spiders and Dust Make Life Inexpress-
IDLY Miserable.
If one wants to live happily in the
SOudan one must get used to spiders.
They crawl into your dressing bag or
come upon the table while you are wash
ing, taking great interest i: soap and
tooth powder and all toilet equsites; if
and remain there till they are drowned
| out. One must also become accustomed
to sand and dust worms, for they are
frequent and terrible disturbers of your
comfort. They come upon you suddenly
when you are quite unaware of their close
proximity--just as express trains at 4
busy junction surprise the passenger un-
initiated in the mysteries of signaling.
There is distinct sound like the coming
of train, then a rush by, and the after
draught. Palms sway and bow their
rustling fronds to the earth. and eddies
of dust buffet you on all sides, lifting you
from your feet. Tents are turned inside
out, scattering their. contents to the
winds, or everything is incrusted with an
impalpable powder, which seals up your
eyes, plugs your nose and ears, or chokcs
one with the nauseating sweepings of a
foul camping ground.
The fierce blast of the wind makes met
al so hot that the heat from the nib car
rying the ink to paper dries up the fluid
u.
sweat of the hand, too, mixed with the
layer of dust on the paper, so soils the
manuscript that one feels loath to send
it. The flies, seeking your tent for shell
ter from the cruel blast without cling to
your nose and eyelids with tenacity
which is almost maddening. At meals
each dish is covered with grit before it
can be consumed; and one has to nurse
odd corners of the tent to shield ones cup
from the puffs of dust beating up from
under the canvas before one can get
drink that is not absolutely muddy.
DR.. Evans Faultless Set of Teeth.
Nine X, a once noted Russian beauty,
was famous for the length and sumptu-
osity of her trains. She was also lavish
of her smiles. One evening, at some
grand reception, I was gazing at her as
Comte Horace de Choiseul led her
through a suite of salons. DR.. Evans
came up to me. We talked about the
sumptuous train. He then asked, what
do you think of her teeth?' '"rhey light
up her face like sunbeams; they eclipse
even the pearls of Nine. de Rothschild's
necklace 1T was / who provided
Them" said the doctor; mo, I'm not jok
ing" But surely they are too transl'r-
not of artificial stuff l chose teeth from
the mouths of twelve Brittany girls to
make the set.'' ''Why from twelveT'
Because the twelve had the proper num-
Der of faultless teeth. Besides Nine. X.
is superstitiously orthodox. She wanted
her teeth to be reminder of the twelve
apostles. TO please her inserted bit of
the true cross in the gold setting. "-Lon-

The Fear OF Death.

Man occupies in view of death situa-
ton that is peculiar, for he is probably
the only being that knows he has to die.
The battle against death spurs an i'm
mense number of men to study and work;
and all the great intellectual and moral
creations in art, religion and science have
been produced under the influence of the
feelings excited by the certainty of that
event. Yet the psychology of the ideas
and emotions relative to death is still to
be constructed.
Man is not normally preoccupied with
the thought of death. While he is in full
vigor of health and strength he is not
afraid of it and takes little heed of it:
The idea that he will have to die some
day rarely enters his mind, and when it
does present itself it is so vague and re-
lateS to an event SO uncertain as to the
time when it will occur that no distress
is produced by it. This inertia of the
thought of death in the strong man fol-
lows from the important agency exercised
by organic sensations in determining the
psychical condition. We know that not
only exterior phenomena acting ON the
sensorial organs that are directed to the
outer world produce sensations in us, but
changes of condition originating in the Or
Sanism itself are also accompanied by
sensations. The parts of the body that

POtat0ea After Corn.

1t is possible to grow a good potato crop
after corn if the latter has been planted
on an old sod heavily MANFRED. In such
case good deal of the virtue of the sod
was not secured by the corn crop, and
there is besides dressing of well-rotted
manure to be turned up by the spring
blowing. 1t is much better to plant ear
ly potatoes on such land, and to plant
them as early as a good seed bed can be
had. Without a fresh sod to decay and
furnish plant food and moisture in mid
summer, the result with late potatoes
would dry up just at the critical time for
making a CROP

Steam Engines for Farm Use.

Because farmers always have horse
power on the farm it does not follow that
it must be used for every purpose where
additional power is required. There are

Breaking Young Colts.

Winter, and before II sleigh furnishes
the best opportunities for breaking young
colts, into the work that they must here
after do. The colt should always be hal
tcr-broken the first summer and trained
to lead easily. Then the first time he
has harness on, put the colt beside an
old, well-broken horse and hitch him to
Il sleigh after one or two drives without
anything attached to him. Do not try
to drive through drifts, as many young
der, and may break a leg in trying to
get free. The advantage of the sleigh
is that it cannot be heavy burden and
it makes no noise. BY the time the
slcighing is gone hitch the colt beside an
old horse and let him pull part of a wag-
on. If care is taken so that the driver
always keeps master, the colt will be by
spring time as docle and safe as any
old trained horse can bc.-American Gull

GENERAL TORAL

the north via Palma, which Is practically the Fourth army corps
 Then the rumor was spread about the city that Santiago had surrendered. This caused crowds in the streets to go wild. No one knew where the rumor origi- mated, but everyone knew it was fact.
 Crowds gathered all over the city eager to get the particulars of the sur render, but they were not to had.
 This statement was made and handed out by one man who had seen the presi- dent.
 Arrangements are being made to have commissioners arrange the sur render of Santiago. There was much misunderstanding as to the effects of the Spanish proposition, the administra- tion first believing it was a Spanish trick to work for delay, it is now con strued as looking to the immediate sur render. Shafter has been wired authori- ty to appoint the commissioners only for immediate and unconditional surrender, and has been informed that if for any other purpose the commissioners are not to be appoi0ted. Our authorities at Washington will attend to details of transporting Spanish to Spain. The commission met at 2:30 yesterday af- ternoon to arrange terms of surrender. !"

i is with great pleasure That I extend to you my sincere congratulations on your heroic conduct at Santiago In approv- ing your request for assignment to the squadron I expected that you would prove q valuable acquisition through your professional attachments. All ex- pectations have been surpassed and I again congratulate you on the perform and the brilliant future before you.
 Commodore Hichborne, while averse to being placed in the position of exert ing any influence in the matter, is ex- eeedingly anxious that Hobson shall not be transferred to the line of the navy, but shall retain his position i'll the con- struction corps, where his remarkable ability may be utilized to the best inter- ests of the service.
 The young constructor before he join ed Admiral Sampson feet had already demonstrated his conspicuous capacity in ship design, and while the navy is rich in brave officers with the increase in the number of ships and the strength of the navy, it is believed that Construc- tor Hobson has a greater career before him as q constructor than as q com mander. His opportunities for impress ing his individuality upon the navy are thought to be much greater ill the staff than in the line, and as he has up to this time given no intimarion that he desires a transfer, it is not believed that he will consent to abandoning his profession.

MADRID HAS RECEIVED
 NO WORD FROM TORAL
