Speaker Reed,s Autograph.

The Kennebec Ne journal says that
when autograph hunters ask Speaker
Reed for his signature he writes it
rather hastily, and it is simply I. b.
Reed. If the pen does not mark plainly,
the speaker does not always take pains
to dip it anew, provided there is a
scrawl and all the letters are visible.
Not so when the oblong forms Of
parchment are handed to him from the
committee on enrolled bills, Of which
Representative Hager of Iowa Is char
man. Mr. Kinds, the clerk TO the speak
er's desk. hands up the pile Of parch-
ment and the speaker carefully looks
over each. Taking them down one by
one, he writes his name slowly and care
fully. 1t does not appear as T b. Reed
but as Thomas B. Reed.
The ink is dipped from bottle that
sits within a silver tray, which has
come down from the time when Henry
Clay was speaker of the house of repre-.
sentatives. Then the signature is care
fully blotted, the precious parchment Is
carried TO the senate and eventually
finds its way to the state department,
where it is stored among the archives.

Guatemala might easily sustain ten
times it's present population. The soil is
rich and easily cultivated, and, unlike
the other Central American republics,
there is plenty of labor. Some parts of
the country are quite thickly populated,
but the others are covered with dense
forests and variety of timber, which
might be easily made marketable if
means of transportation were provided.
But, although Guatemala is much
further advanced than the rest of Cen
trail America, her railway system does
not exceed $50 miles; there is no inter
nal navigation, and the wagon roads are
in deplorable condition. The mineral
wealth of the country is supposed to be
large but it is only slightly developed.
The mines are inaccessible, and, in the
absence of modern machinery, which at
present cannot be conveyed to them,
cannot be worked with profit.
The government offers generous in
ducements to immigrants. The land
laws are liberal, and efforts have been
made from time to time to secure the
establishment of colonies and the pre-
emption of public lands by private set
tiers. But all the accessible area is at
present occupied, and no foreigner can
expect to prosper in Guatemala unless 'e
has abundant capital which will enab.e
him to purchase at high prices planta-
tions already developed. Forum.

Transplanting Muscles.

The wonders of surgery will, it seems,
never cease. Among the most important
achievements is the transplanting OF
muscles. This has been successfully
done in the case of patient who hao
for half a lifetime been unable to use
one leg on account of paralysis occur
ring in early childhood. The operation
is thus described: "A six inch longi-
tudinal incision is made on the inner
side of the thigh, with the middle OPP
posite the top of the patella. The sarto-
RUS is dissected out, cut off at its in
sertion, brought forward and attached
to the muscular fascia just above and q
little to the inner side of the patella.
1.-The attachment must be made firmly
by splitting the fascia and drawing the
muscle through, so that it becomes ad-
herent to both inner and outer surfaces.
Kangaroo tendon is used for sutures,
being the best material, The wound is
then closed, and the whole thigh is
bandaged, and finally plaster of paris
bandage, or long splint, is applied.
The patient is kept recumbent for two
weeks at least, gentle motion is COM
menced at the end of three weeks, and
the plaster is entirely omitted at the
end of from five to six weeks. This OPP
Grafton has been performed several times
with great success the only failures oc-
curing where the muscles were imper-
fectly attached. This state of things
was entirely remedied, however, in the
later operations. New York Ledger.

AN ELEPHANTS CUNNING.
He Knew How 20 Turn the Tables Upon
nis Tormentor.

This Is good story of an elephant's
was a mere baby when he was sent by
an Indian prince 70 England as pres
emit for Queen Victoria
He was shipped as deck passenger
by one of the Indian mail steamers from
Bombay, aud az he had but attained
the height Of well grown calf and was
always most docile and tractable he Wa
permitted to have the run Of the deck
for an hour or two every morning when
the state Of the weather permitted BY
the sailors he was dubbed the hos N,
mate, owing To the penchant he had
for carefully picking up every loose coil
of rope that he could find and then
throwing it over the side, being, a.
Jack said, as bad as a naval lieutenant
for keeping the decks tidy.
Among other acquaintance that he
formed was that Of the ships baker.
whose address he soon diScOveAsd ~ b.
the place Of origin Of all the sweet dain-
ties with which he was p-tt.d Here he
took to making a regular morning call
for something sweet for titiIu and was
generally RECALLED with a stale tart or
piece of cake, but upon calling one
morning and extending his trunk as
usual, he found that his visit was IN
welcome, as something had occurred to
irritate the baker, and instead Of the
cake he received blow on his trunk
with the rolling pin
The blow was not severe but the
"bos n turned tail and went trumpet
ing up the deck, where he took post
that would enable him 10 watch for his
assailant. Before long he saw the baker
leave his "shop," and mischief being
his object rather than malice he prompt
ly marched down, and with several Wig
orous sweeps of his trunk he swept all
the shelves in the bakery clear. until
loaves, tarts, cakes, patty pans and cake
tins lay i'll confusion on the deck. This
achieved, he bolted like any schoolboy
and was locked up i'll disgrace hut up
on the circumstances being known the
popular verdict was III his favor and he
was allowed his liberty a. before.
"Bos'n' marched down instanter To
the baker and never failed from that day
TO exact tribute, which was regularly
paid, and from that time he and his OPP
ponent became fast friends. Golden

ETYMOLOGY OF "AURRAH."
Mr.. sprstley Says That We Get 1t From
Ancient Egypt


". J. Spratley, to use his plain Eng
lish name, has favored US with a copy
of a letter he has addressed to The In
stitute and Lecturers Gazette on the
etvmology of the word "Hurrah -
which Mr. spratley spells "Ho5rah ~
we have been vaguely cherishing the
idea that it had a Russian origin. but
Mr.. Spratley takes Us to ancient Egypt
in his genealogical search He thinks
there can be no doubt that the Egyptian
soldiers went into battle TO the inspiri;-
ing cheer of HoORa HooRa HooRa = -
and if the average questioning man asks
why. he staggers him with this: Be
cause HooRa Tin the tongue Of the
Thothmes and Ramesesl means Tn
king, the king, the king Yea. more. ~
'Ra' means not only king, but also God
and man, the concentrated meaning Of
the cry would be, For God. king and
country What more loyal, what more
patriotic, what more devout:a What,
indeed!
But lest we should haply still doubt.
Mr.. Spratley clinches the matter by cit
ing jill corroboration, the fact that his
name, in Egyptian roots is Sa-paRa
ta-y, or Sa-pa- Hoo Ra-tay, which
means "Son of heaven, king of The
two hemispheres and if the authority
of a gentleman of this descent is not
good enough for the mere douhter, even
Mr.. Sa-pa, etc, may well despair of
convincing him. More than this, if Mr.
Spratley's Egyptian name means any
thing-and this is an open question-it
also signifies king of lower Egypt and
king of upper Egypt" or Emperor
of the World. " But what we chiefly
like it for is that il seems TO settle an
other point that may we'll have batfled
the hilologist-namely, the genesis of
the once familiar refrain "Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay.' Is it possible that Miss
Lottie Collins and the street urchin
have been singing ancient Egyptian, as
Mr. Jourdain spoke prose, without
knowing it:-London Chronicle

The result of the Crimean war gave
to the British nation not one single foot
of foreign soil nor any pecuniary com
pensation whatsoever. The only benefit
derived from the war, which lasted two
years, was to keep Russia out of Con-
stantinople and give the English way
to India and the east that was undis-
puted For this end the British lost 29, e
744 men killed in action or died from
wounds, cholera or other diseases. The
loss to the French allies in the same
campaign has been estimated at SO, 500
and the Russians as high as 800, 900.
The war also cost the British $205, 205, :
600. War is costly as well aaa dan
gerous business. 1t is the court of last
resort with nations nowadays as it was
the first in ancient times

The Bonapartes always were super
stitious, especially the mother of Napo-
leon She always had a presentiment
that the rise and fall of her family
would occur in the same century, that
the glory which was prophesied for
them would be followed by disaster
And the prediction was verified. She
died in her eighty seventh year, having
lived long enough to see the downfall
of all her children.
Napoleon l always feared Dec. 2 as
an unlucky day. and it is related of him
that before every important battle he
would throw dice to ascertain if he
were to lose or win. The 'red men"
whom he always saw going to battle
with him was delusion that caused
him much suffering. Toronto Saturday

May 1t Come Speedily.

What appears to be the first steps
toward peace have been taken. The
Spanish government, through the
French minister at Washington, asks
that negotiations looking to peace be
opened. This is welcome news TO people
of the United States and welcome
event to our government.
After the many and serious reverses to
its army and navy it is high time for
Spain to take this preliminary step, and
the utter hopelessness of its cause
should lead it to be reasonable about
terms. There is no reason to doubt that
President Mckinley will do everything
In his power to secure a lasting peace.
He will not be captious about the terms
and will take on no airs of the conqueror.
There are many difficulties about COM
ing to equitable terms, but our country
can afford to be generous with a defeat
ed and weak power and will be reason
able in every respect.
Undoubtedly Spain must give up Cuba
and Porto Rico. The PHILIPPINES is not
desirable acquisition TO the United
States and other nations may want
something to say about the terms of
peace with relation to those far away
islands. If the overnment at Washing
ton was well rid Of this territory the
question would be greatly simplifed.
The administration is giving the mat
ter the candid consideration it deserves
and we hope for the best, which is peace
Gu reasonable terms at the earliest posi-
BILE time.

An advance bounty to the enlisted
men of the three batteries now at Au-
gusta, was paid, Wednesday. 1t re-
CURED about 81 900 to go around. The
money was secured by Governor Powers
and advanced by him to the State. 1t
will be remembered that Gov. Powers
advanced $50, 900 to pay bounties to the
First Maine Regiment. Other states
have paid bounties of like amount and
the State of Maine in 1861 paid S25 per
man to the men first enlisted, therefore
the Governor rightly concluded that
Names soldiers were as deserving as
those of other states and as those
who entered the service Of their
country in 1861, and rather than incur
the expense of assembling the legisla-
ture, advanced the money himself to
pay these bounties. OF course the next
legislature will provide for the reim-
bursement of this money with reasona-
bic interest, as soon as it meets ia Janu-
airy next.

WAR NOTES.

a special despatch from Rome to
London says the Pope has communicate

he considers acceptable to both Spain
and the United States. namely. Ameri-
can annexation Of On sand Porto Rico,
the restitution Of the Philippines to
Spain and a commercial treaty giving
Spain exceptional advantages in the
colonies surrendered.
The proposition submitted by the
ambassador acting for the Spanish
government was quite general in terms
and was confined to the one essential
point Of an earnest plea that negotia-
lions be opened for the purpose of ter
minating the war and arriving at terms
of peace. The communication of the
spanish government did NOT suggest any
specific terms of peace. nor was there
any reference mace To Cuba, the Philip
pines, Porto Rico, or Other spanish pos
sessions.

American troops will be pushed forward
promptly in order to capture the rail-
road leading 10 Ponce, which is only
about 10 miles east oi that place. From
Ponce there is an excellent military
road running - miles north to San Juan

The Spanish government has sued for
peace by direct appeal to President
Mckinley. The proposition was formal.
y submitted to the President at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. by the French am
bassador, NJ Jules Cambon. who had
received instructions from the foreign
Office at Paris to deliver to the United
States government the tender of peace
formulated by tie Spanish minister.

ment was issued from the White House:
