II the whole thing We're not sad and
hideous, there would be amusement in
the solemn eagerness which the people
whose pocketbook interest lies with
Spain are rushing to adopt the accident
hypothesis. Grover Cleveland observes:
Il believe that the public should accept
the accident theory" OF course he does.
He did not need TO open his mouth to tell
the country what his views are Senator
Hanna has not a doubt in his mind. With
his usual economy of words he declares:
1T was an accident" Finally, their old
side partner, General Weyler, observes
that lit was due TO the Incidence of the
crew" This last opinion is the most val
uable and important of the lot. IL cor
rect it opens up a new and interesting
field OF scientific speculation. According
to the Weyler philosophy Incidence pro-
duces explosions. What, then. would
have resulted il the crew had been in

A man who seems to be suffering un-
diluted and extensive physical anguish
writes TO one of the New York papers
from his bed of pain-to inform the pub
lie that his wife has not beer treating
him right. 1t seems she found, some
where, recipe for chestnut outlets, and
concocted a dish after the directions
there given, and fed it TO her husband.
The ingredients of the dainty were pint
of chesnuts, some sugar, seven eggs,
cream, powdered macaroons, rich fruit
sauce. and some condiments. The hus-
band ate. and nearly died. Now he
wants to know what he shall do about IL.
The New Yory paper does not tell him.
1t seems to be unequal TO the job. This
is not surprising. Any man who will sit
at the dinner table and deliberately swal-
low, without haste and without rest,
thing that he knows is going to give him
the jim-jams, deserves all he will get.
He does not claim that his wife hypno-
tized him into eating this thing. He does
not claim that he was in any way urged
to eat it. If he did not know enough to
stop eating such a connection between
the first and second mouthfuls.e the
chances are that sooner or later his own
stupidity will kill him.

The following lines may be read eithe
Up or down without altering the sense:
The stars were all alight,
The moon was overhead:
/ named her queen of night,
AS she my footsteps led.
So wondrous fair was she,
I asked her to be mine,
As she glanced up at me
/ thrilled with love divine.
Besides the meadow bars,
AS we stobd lingering there
Her eyes were like the stars,
In RADIANCE wondrous fair
You're all the world to me-
She murmpred, sweet and shy,
A thrill of ecstasy
/ felt at her reply
Love led US all the way.
As we turned home again;
Our hearts were light and gay,
The world was blissful then.
Though shadows crossed the sky,
No gloom our. hearts could know,
True bliss Is ever nigh
When hearts are blended so.

The Wave of Reform.

(From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.)
Kentucky, in addition to all other evils
except tollgate chopping. is regulating
her boarding houses; Kansas City is
waging war on her gum chewers. and
New Jersey is taxing her bachelors. The
spirit of reform is abroad, and the sim
ner who fails to see the typewriting on
the wall is laying up treasures where
moth and rust are rampant and thrift is
the reward of thievery.

ments in most cases covering legs and
bodies, they passively obeyed the or
ders OF Captain Moreu, and were
gathered in ships companies by the
calling of the roll. Hardly had hun
dred men been landed before the sick
began to drop groaning upon the dusty
roadside.
After the mastering was over the
first shipload of prisoners was sur
rounded by marines from the garrison
anG marched into the stockage, the
barefooted ones being chiefly anxious
to avoid the nettles that lurked in
some OF the grassy places.
After one day in camp these same
hungry looking prisoners could hardly
be recognized. The days rations of
beef, bread, coffee and pickles were
devoured at one meal, each man eating
more than q pound of meat. They

complished without the slightest hos.
tile demonstration on the part of the
Spaniards. Some of the men passive
ly object to being clean, but they can
put up with cleanliness if only they
get plenty Of tobacco.
Colonel Forney has in g.: barracks
at the Navy Yard and on duty at the
stockade about two hundred men, but
Surgeon Parsons says that if the
Spaniards only understood that they
were to have their three square meals
day a marine guard would be re.
quired, not to keep them on the island
but to drive them away from it.
Two Spanish chaplains, two sur
geons, an apothecary's steward and
five junior lieutenants have had a
building built for their special accom-
mediation, and have been fitted out
with sailors clothes from the navy
yard storehouses. Their wardroom is
fitted out with hunks and abundant
furniture. ....,. - g..
The civilizing influence OF a short
piece of rope is still to be seen IN
Camp Long. In the olden times the
rope was used to COW starved and i'll
treated prisoners. To-day it serves q
different purpose. The members OF
the officers mess hardly got new
clothes before they began devisins
amusements, and jumping rope has
become very popular. Two OF the
more sedate officers swing the rope
while the others take turns jumping.
The horrors of war already seem
far away, and the mostimportant things
in the world seem to be the delights OF
good living. Admiral Carpenter, who
is in temporary command OF the Navy
Yard, has closed the island to curious
visitors, who are not annoying when
they get long range views from the
New Castle and Kittery shores.
The scene on shore of the prison
front on Seavey's Island on recent
afternoon between FIVE and six o'clock
presented most novel and interest
ing picture. The prisoners had just
finished their afternoon meal and had
swarmed to the waters edge to wash
their bowls, plates and spoons. The
clatter of the dishes and the laughter
and animated conversation of the pris.
oners made such babel of noises that
they could plainly be heard on the
Newcastle shore on the other side OF
the Piscataqua River.
Hundreds of boats gathered in front
of the Spaniards on the beach and
watched them at their work and en-
joyed the animated scene, for the
"Dons" seemed happy as larks and
evidently greatly pleased at the atten-
tion shown them. Many ladies in the

the whites of his eyes heavenward,
and stood expectant. Scores of ko-
daks snapped, and the colored sailor
triumphantly rejoined his comrades
on the shore. A lady IN one of the
boats threw a bunch Of flowers into
the water near the shore, and in
stantly twenty or more of the prison
ers struggled for the possession of
the trophy. The Spaniard who cap
tured the bouquet was generous, how
ever, and divided the flowers among
his comrades, who proudly held aloft
the mementos, bowling and smiling
to the lady who threw them into the
water.
After the dishes had been washed
many sat in groups on the bank, some
of them singing the songs of their
native land, some playing cards, others
writing letters home, and all of them
apparently pleased with the situation.
1t was scene never before witnessed
in the Harbor of Portsmouth, but its
repetition is likely to happen every
pleasant day in the weeks to follow.
So much for the humber prisoners.

Civilization while you wait would be
an appropriate motto for the prison
stockade at Camp Long. The camp IS
on Seavey's Island, part of the Navy
Yard, which on the map appears IN
Kittery, Me. and on official documents
at Portsmouth, in New Hampshire.
Two days before the st. Louis
steamed into the harbor with 692
Spanish prisoners Of war on board the
camp ground was not much better than
a desert. This end of the island is
bound with rocks which stick up
through the blueberry bushes and
scrubby grass on knolls and hillsides.
Within thirty-six hours from the ar
rival of the st. Louis in the lower har-
Dor the village had been equipped
with all the creature comforts de-
manded by free born American cltl-
zen.
The landing of the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, fatiron shaped barges were
brought up, one after the other, from
the big liner, about q mile away, and
made fast to Lieutenant Greely's land
ing place, at the foot of old Fort Sulli,
van, now used as a reservoir. There
were q few workmen and few ladies
and children from the post en- the
shore, and q Gordon of pleasure boats
on the water, but no official demon
stration of any sort. There was not
an officer, nor even q marine, III sight,
and no indications that the island was
garrisoned.
On the first barge Lieutenant Cat
lin, q survivor of the Maine disaster,
brought with him Captain Moreu, OF
the Cristobal Colon, to act as interpre-
ter, and about "a dozen American mo-
rines to take care of bootload OF four
hundred Spanish prisoners of war.
Lieutenant Catlin had navy revolver
in his belt instead of sword, but
went at his work without any fuss OF
feathers. When six marines had
scrambled ashore and were strung
along the bank, the gangway was
opened to the prisoners, who went of
the barge in an irregular struggling.
They were defeated and shipwrecked
sailors, and they showed it. Bare
headed and barefooted. with straggly

army and camp furnishings was gi-
gantic success, as demonstrated by the
throngs of people which flocked to the
place day after day. Evidently the
German inventor has been working on
the theory that full stomach is the
best equipment for fighter, and
cooking implements were displayed
in the greatest variety. A clever
cooking outfit is shown herewith.
The stove for battalion is designed
for use in the open. 1t is formed of
several iron chests arranged in the
shape of cross, with q chimney in
the middle. A smaller one is built
to accommodate a squad of about
thirty men, and for use where there
are no general cooking provisions
made for the men, each one looking
after the preparation of his own IA
tions. .. ,.lz lz,. sss=,ssz;.-.-ez,vs ,an.
- It is gratifying to note that the sub.
ject Of caring for the dead and
wounded has received a great deal of
attention at the hands Of army and
navy inventors. A large variety of
devices was shown, having for their
object the care and comfort of the
wounded warrior. -ss.-

reedinc untl,resl,ed Oats.

Oat straw, it is conceded, has
value as food too great to permit OF
its use as bedding. If the practice of
feeding oats unthreshed was more
general a still greater saving would
result. Cut the crop several days be-
fore the grain ripens, which will leave
the straw in better condition, and save
a loss of the grain from the heads in
handling. If cut with mower they
should be cut greener than when put
up in bundles. The oats may he kept
in stack out of doors if properly pro-
tected, but it is best to put them up
in bundles and stack them on end in
the barn. In feeding, the coarse butt
ends of the stalks should be cut off
and used for bedding, the rest of the
stalk being run through cutter.
Both horses and cattle seem to relish
unthreshed oats, and fed IN this way
the tendency, on the part Of. horses, to
bolt the grain is overcome and the
thorough mastication of both grain
and straw will keep the animals IN
good condition. -
