Singing Bullets.

A soldier from Santiago says: One
of the first things I discovered about
the Mauser bullet was its peculiar note
as 1t flew through the air. One could
hear them sing over the picket lines
with high. clear note that was totally
different from the ping of a leatlen ball
Of larger caliber. The effect of a Maui
ser ball IN striking n man is peculiar.
During the advance on Ell Caney was
nipped in the leg at a range Of about
1000 yards, but ! knew nothing of IL
until l found myself on the ground
sprawling In the mud. A slight burn
ing sensation In the calf led me to in
vestigate, and there l found a small
hole not larger than a pen. The bull
let had passed out the other side Of the
leg without tearing the flesh. There
was little hemOrhage and scarcely any
pain from the wound. l saw one troop-

Amount of Moisture in Soil.

Scientific sgriculturists have always
had a difficulty in determining precise
ly the amount of moisture In soils. Rain
does plants comparatively little good
until it enters the soil, where 1t can be
absorbed by their roots. a record Of
the actual amount of water IN the soil
from day TO day would, therefore, give
the absolute value of the moisture con-
ditions under which plants are grow
ing, and evea without reference to rain
fall data it would show, the character
Of the soil being understood, whether
the conditions We're favorable or other
wise for the crop. Hitherto there has
been much uncertainty In reaching this
record. plan now proposed is quite
promising, and can be readily put in
practice 1t consists In burying special
ly constructed electrodes In the soil, so
that by measuring the resistance to the
passage of a current through the soil
the amount of moisture in the soil can
be ascertained. The possibility of using
the electrical resistance of soils for the
determination of moisture was sug-
gested by the necessity of thoroughly
grounding lightning rods, telephone and
telegraph lines. If these are not car
ried to considerable depth, so that
the terminals are constantly in moist
soil. the lines do not work in dry sea.

STRIKING CONTRASTS
Differences In tho American, spauisb

Differences In tho American, spaui.b
end Cuban Oldiers.
The American soldier, the private In
the ranks, is magnificent. The percent.
age Of men rejected to those accepted
is unknown In any other service The
very small standing army makes IT Dos
sible for the men to be selected with
the greatest care, both as regards their
physical, moral and intellectual require
ments. OF every hundred men who
seek enlistment, ninety Of them are re-
jected, which insures the accepted ten
being very narrowly picked ever. Even
now, when the emergency required the
regiments to be recruited above the
peace strength, the general average has
not been much reduced, and the re-
cruit who knew nothing Of soldering
until q few weeks ago has borne IA
tigue as well as the seasoned veteran,
and stood unmoved while the bullets
went whfstling over his head
The contrast between the American
and Spanish soldier Is az striking ply
sicaIIy as IT is every other way. The
American private is broad -shoudered
and we'll set up: the Spaniard is small
and 1.-THE. But the greatest contrast
is In their intellectual status. The
American soldier not only follows the
plan of campaign with intelligence, but
has his own plan, which he frequently
considers to he better than his officers.
The Spanish private knows nothing
Of what goes on around him and has no
uower of comprehension. He Is simply
n machine, to obey because he has to,
and because he stands In very great
fear Of his officers.
And as Interesting as both the Amer
lean and Spanish soldier is the Cuban.
Smaller even than the Spanlard, liv-
ing on nothing, ragged, he has brought
Spain to her knees. The Cuban, of
course, Is a fanatic solely. / imagine
that very few of the natives have any
comprehension Of the meaning Of the
word liberty, although they know very
well that Spain has oppressed them,
and anything is better than a contin-
uance of Spanish rule. AS one sees the
Cubaps. their brown bodies yisibla
through their rags, their general aft
of neglect, he may laugh at the Cuban
idea of soldering, but he must still
respect them for what TREY have daHe.

4 little old shoemaker, who has q

maker how he got such richly colored
birds.
It's part in the breeding and part in

You raise birds ia q shop where two

i should think that TOBACCO smoke
would be uRYholesome for the birds"
said the visitor.
"0n the contrary, 1t makes them
hardy and seems to be good for them
every way. Women who have canaries
would do well to put them where they
can get little tobacco smoke once in a

What they need Is strong tobacco

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, Youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val.
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
Itook medicine from good doctor,
but il seemed to do no good. 1 was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that 1
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

GLORY OF TIE NIGHT.

The silver tendril of the stream
Winds through the cavern of the night,
And, hush! there floats across my dream
a cygnet bathed in pallid light
The moons cold eyeball stares not dowr
Upon the wondrous freight 1t brings,
Hung round its arched neck-a crown
or pearls and silver blazopings.
And while it trails adown the tide
My senses, smothering meath the gloom
And silence that gulf all beside,
Hail the white glory Of Its plume
Hail the clear starlight Of each gem
Bound in the frost Of times disdain'
A hand grasps at the diadem,
When, sudden, all is black again.

"One of the most pecullar things In
connection with the department ser
vice" remarked a disbursing officer, Ifs
the almost entire absence of Legislation
regarding the question Of when pay
slents are to be made. The whole mat
ter Of paying Is left with the head Of
each department, subject to any rules
which he wishes to adopt and this IS
governed by custom rather than by dl-
rect or expressed law. Thus in some
Of the branches of the treasury depart
ment there are weekly pay days, nota-
bly, in the redemption division, while IN
the others there are semi -menthly pay
days. In Rost Of the branches of the
other departments there are semi
monthly pay days, though to the clerks
of the headquarters of the army in the
war department who are paid by an
army paymastsF, there's but one pay
in each month. Congress has been ap-
peaIed to time and time again to regu-
late pay days by legislation, but for
some unkEowH reason 1t has always
refused.
Though there are now, and alYa.s
have been, advocates Of frequent ray
days. 1t Is not sure that weekly pay
days are the best for department clerks.
Getting their money in four parts, one
fourth each week, seriously interferes
with them. for, as rule, all Of one
weeks money is expended by the time
the next week comes around, leaving
nothing to pay OF their boarding house
or rent bills, which come due every
month. All through Europe department
clerks are paid but once In three
months, and 1t is said they manage to
save more money by that method than
is saved by those who receive their
salary more frequently."-St Louis

MfSER GENlUSeS.

Men Who Have Reduced Money-Sav'
ing to q Fascinating Art.
The fascinating study of hnanciai
gain amounts almost to genius In some.
Avarice was the inspiration of one OF
our own great men, Franklin, whose
memory Is debased by his reputation
as Poor Richard" The masterpiece
of Balzac is his novel, "Eugenie Gran
det;" the hero, old Grandet, is miser
whose financial genius amounts to the
sublime, and which BaIzac contr!ves
and succeeds In making almost pic
turesque.
Among the most distinguished mis-
ers was Daniel Dancer. Upon the
death of his father, Dancer came into
the estate, which yielded good In
come. One of his sisters lived with
him and imbibed bis miserly teach
ings. Dancer was remarkable for the
style of his garments; his coat was
made of pieces Of every hue and tex
ture, collected from the streets and ash
heaps. His garments were held to-
gether by twist of hay. He and his
sister lived happily in hovel, the
paneless sashes of which We're darken-
ed with boards. rags and papers. Soap
and towels being expensive, Mr.. Dane
er occasionally washed in pond and
dried himself with sand. Three pounds
of coarse beef and fourteen dumplings
formed their menu for years, except
upon one occasion, when Providence
changed the course of these vfands.
Mr. Dancer, walking one day In
search of bones and other delicate Of
fal. found a dead sheep and carried 1t
home In triumph. His sister received 1t
as an immediate gift from heaven.
Time went on and the maiden fell i'll.
Lady Temple, generous nefghbor,
was so kind that Miss Dancer determ-
ined to leave her f2,00o, but she died
before the viii could be signed and her
brother claimed her fortune as the
price of her board for forty years.
He constantly guarded against
thieves. and concealed bis gold and
bank notes with spiders among their
cobwebs In the COW house, and In the
holes IN the chimney, covering them
with ashes. The light of generosity,
however, penetrated one chink of his
miserable soul-he loved his dog, and
while denying himself bread, he allow
ed his dog q pint of milk daily with
other delicacies. Mr.. Dancers delight
IN life was to visit the holes where his
wealth was kept and count It.
In his 18th year Dancer became vio-
lently Ill, but refused to see physician.
Again Lady Temple played the good
fairy at the wretched hovel, attending
him to the last and was generously re-
warded by his immense fortune, which
he left TO her.
II would not be difficult task to
show the influence of avarice upon na-
Hons; the evils of society, the corrup-
tions of religion and the tragedies of
war have often been instigated and
supported by this base passion.
