Two hundred and fifty-four Spanish
soldiers and six officers on Sunday took
passage from New York to Spain, the
Austrian Government paying their
passage and our Government releasing
them as prisoners. AS they went out
of the harbor a Government boat was
met flying the American flag, where
upon the prisoners gave mighty cheers
for the Stars and Stripes. Think Of 1t.
Spanish soldiers cheering the flag of
the enemyi Why? Because common
gratitude moved them to make the
demonstration, there being no other
way in which they could give express
sion to their feelings. These. men had
been told that if taken prisoners they
would be executed by the Yankees. At
least, If their lives were spared, they
would be maltreated, starved and kept
in dungeons But they found that
they had been deceived. They came to
us naked, and we clothed them. We
took them. half-starved creatures, and
we fattened them. Instead of dun
geons we gave them spacious grounds
for exercise air in plenty, freedom OF
the grounds, more comfortable barrack
quarters than they ever enjoyed in
their own army, and we treated them
throughout rather as brethren than as
enemies. The poor fellows will be
fortunate if on their arrival in Spain
they are not urt-martialed and ham,
strung for those cheers. If they es-
cape that, however, what missionaries
they will prove to be in spreading the
truth about the hated Yankee pigs.

The AIissionary's Pump.

Lobengula, the late king of the Ma
tabele of South Africa, was a friend of
the Rev. e. Carnegie, an English mis-
sionary, at Hope Fountain, several
miles from Bulawayo. The Matabele
warriors, on the other hand, looked
with suspicion on the missionary and
all his work; but they knew better
than to modest the friend of their king.
Time after time, in passing the mis-
sion house, they noticed a f%orce-pump
at work, supplying water for the fam
lily and for irrigating the garden. Not
understanding what it was for, their
untutored minds concluded it was some
sort of magic. 1t was '~intagati," OF

REMEMBER IN COOKING

That salt should be added when they
are about two-thirds done.
That most vegetables should be put
on to cook in freshly boiling water.
That every green vegetable should be
cooked rapidly, and uncovered, to re-
tain its color.
That cooking a vegetable after it is
done toughens, darkens it and detracts
from it's flavor.
That when soft water is used the salt
must be in from the first, to prevent
loss of flavor and substance.
That lying in very cold water for an
hour or more will partially restore to
wilted vegetables quality and fresh
ness.
That the best dressing for vegetables
at their perfection is butter, pepper
and salt-cauliflower and perhaps as
paragus excepted.
That if the water is very hard, a tiny
bit of soda, not larger than a pea, add
ed will make the vegetables cooked in
it tenderer and of better color. Ordi-
nary water does not require such addi-
ton.
That older or staler vegetables are
improved by a cream or drawn-butter
sauce-the basis for the latter the re-
duced liquor left when the cooking is
fnished.-Ella Morris K%retschmar in

Why We Forget Names.

Many persons are especially forget
full with regard to Manassas of &C,
quaintances OF some familiar object.
DR.. Bastian, in discussing such effects
recently, quoted with approval this
explanation: THE more concrete the
idea the more readily is the word used
to designate 1t forgotten when the
memory fails. We easily represent per,
sons and things to ourselves without
their names. More abstract concep'
lions, on the contrary, are attained
only with the aid of words, which
alone give them their exact shape il
our minds" Hence verbs, adjectives
pronouns, adverbs, propositions ant
conjunctions are more intimately re
lated to thought than nouns are. ant
can be remembered when nouns, o.
names. slip from the mind.

SOME RAILWAY STATISTICS.

Miles to Earn a Cent.

One Passenger Must BE Carried Five
Miles to Earn a Cent.
Last year the railways Of the United
States carried over 10, 900, 000, 900 ras-
sengers one mile. They also carried
s5, ooo, 600, 900 tons Of freight one mile.
The total amount paid in dividends on
stock was $s7, $3.50, 371-call it $sS, OOO,-
900. OF the total earnings Of the rail-
ways about 70 per cent came from
freight service and 30 per cent from
passenger service. Let us assume,
then, that Of the $ss. oc0 900 paid in d.
vidends 70 per cent, or SCI 600, 900, was
profit on freight service and $26, 400, 900
was profit on passenger service. Let
us drop fractions and call it $62, 900, 900
from freight and $26, 900, 900 from pas
sengers. BY dividing the passenger
profit into the number Of passengers
carried O3, 600. 600, 000) we find the
railways had to carry a passenger 500
miles in order to earn 81 of profit, or
FIVE miles to earn / cent. Their aver
age profit, therefore, was less than
two-tenths Of l cent for carrying a
passenger land his baggage) 1 mile.
BY dividing the freight profit into
the freight mileage COS, 900, 600, 000) we
find that the railways had to carry
one ton of freight 1880 miles in order
to earn 81, Or over fifteen miles to
earl 1 cent. The average profit,
therefore, was less than one-fifteenth
of a cent for carrying a ton of freight
(besides loading and unloading it, one

ODDS AND ENDS OF FASHION

The most luxurious parasols have
hand-painted medallions of white silk
set in white lace.
Gray gowns look very pretty with
just a touch of positive color at the
throat and wrist, given, perhaps, by
a folded collar or cravat, and then
again by a waistband of mirror velvet
in vivid emerald green, bright violet
or deep orange. All these combina-
tons of color will be very much worn
with gray.
The wallf1ower and the nasturtium
are to have all their W way in the
coming colors of the season, SO we shall
be reveling in tawny browns, reds and
other wonderful colorings which are
not unbecoming to brunettes, and,
moreover, the most fashionable new
scent of the moment is wallflower. 1t
is difficult to realize how exquisite is
the perfume till you have smelled it.
1t is soft, fragrant and lasting.
Cashmere will certainly hold it's own
among the new materials and several
fresh varieties have been prepared, not
SO thick and heavy, of course, as the
"Muscovite'' cashmeres of the winter
season, but still of sufficient substance
to set out smartly when cut on the
cross in these deep flounces which are
SO eminently characteristic of the
skirts of the immediate future. A
cashmere with a corded back seems
likely to be a very favorite fabric and
has been prepared in every conceivable
shade of color suitable for the coming
springtime,

highest record with us is the 1904 dol

dred mistaken claims made each year

arises from a confusion of other coins

The farmer who found a friend.

Serious results often follow a strain,
especially when 1t affects the back, and
few people are so liable to strain as those
who are lifting heavy loads of various
kinds, from day to day. The teamster
rarely ever overtaxes his strength. Fa-
fniliarity with the class of wares he
handles, enables him to entirely gage the
load he lifts so as not to put an excessive
burden on himself. But with the farmer
1t is different. He is lifting loads of such
varying weights and under such varying
conditions that he is very liable to lift a
little too much some day, with injurious
results. Many serious affections of the
