PROBABLY BURIED NEAR
SANTIAGO.

If anything could add to the awful
blow of the death of Lieutenant Ship,
the fact that his loved ones are de-
MED the privilege of burying his body,
is the most cruel aggravation of the grief.
1t is supposed that the interment was
had on the battlefield on Sunday. The
graves of all those who died at
Guatonima were buried. and the
method employed to mark their graves
was to put the name of each man killed
in bottle and bury the bottle. After
the war all the bodies by that means
can be easily identified and brought
home for Refinement.

Efficacy of Olive oil.

Medical authorities are generally agreed as to the value of olive oil med icinally, finding it also potent agent for any defects of the excretory ducts, especially the skin. Eczema has rapidly disappeared upon a discontinuance of starch foods and the substitution of a diet of fresh and dried fruits, milk, eggs and olive oil The beneficial effects of the latter, when thus taken in con- junction with 8 fruit diet, have fre- quently been remarked in respect to the hair, nails and scalp, supplying to the sebaceous glands the oily substance which they secrete when in a healthy condition, and the absence of which is the cause of debility of the hair. fre- quently ending in badness, says The Scientific American. It has long been observed that those who treat olive oil as common article of food and use it as such are generally healthier and in better condition than those who do not, and it's therapeutic and prophylactic properties are very favorably regarded by medical men. It is known to be de- structive to certain forms of micro or ganic life, and for the eradication of such from the system it's internal use has been successfully resorted to.

A Typical Negro Camp Meeting.

There is perhaps no more favorable place in which to study negro character and manners than the camp meeting. This time honored institution is no less social than religious in it's nature. It is usually held in partly cleared grove, under the auspices of the local clergy. Hither the colored population of the surrounding region fCcks, coming on ! foot, in carriages and wagons, in OK carts and mule carts, on horseback and mule back-in short, by every cOnceiv able mode of locomotion. Its dress is as varied as it's vehicles. Indeed the negroes of the south are of all people the most cosmopolitan in the matter of dress Clothes of every imaginable style, cdfAr and previous condition of servitude" arc pressed into use, so that in this particular they present as great a variety as the beggars in the nursery rhyme.
 AS we approach the grove what 8 medley of sounds breaks upon our hear | ing-the neighing of horses, the below ing of cattle, the heehaw praying of mules, the laughter and screams of chil- dren, and joined with these perfect babel of human voices, the whole i forming discOrdant din such as no hu- man ear ever heard elsewherel Enter ing the grounds. we pass bands of chil- dren, climbing, tumbling. romping, like so many troops of monkeys; gawky young fellows awkwardly making love to dusky beauties; groups of brawny men discussing abstruse points of the- OlOgy with as much zeal and more har- mony, perhaps, than body of learned divinity doctors. Here and there gos- siping company of old "uncles" and 'aunties" may be seen reviving the memories of bygone days.-Chautau-

GAN THIS BE TRUE7
Women Admire Men Only Who Can
 Boss Them.

In every woman there Is a peculiar sentiment which she cannot analyze, yet which she must acknowledge exists This sentiment, if defined, Is nothing more nor les than her respect for the man who shows himself to Oe her mas ter. She may sit up in feminine arro- gance and declare that she won't stand that; that she would just Ike 10 see any man tell her what sha should or shouldn't do; but when the time comes for a clash of wills, unless she finds herself decidedly and ignominiOusly defeated she isn't satisfied.
 Of course, there will be lots of women who read this who will declare it to be rank heresy, but It isn't; it is the truth, and 1t is right that st should De so. In every union happiness exists only when the woman has reason to respect the man, and she can only possess such an attitude toward him when he has prov ed that he will be the dominating pow CT. This is no plea for wife-beaters or other similarly brutal men who endeay- or to prove their mental superiority by an exhibition of physical power. The strongest men, the athletes, the giant framed compounds of might and mus Gle, are prOyerbial]y the gentlest with women, yet their latent strength wins wOman's admiration IS much because of her own unackuCwledged willing ness to be the slave. while he Is the master, as because Of It's absolute phy- sical perfection. The more brain woman has the happier she is to be made to fec her dependence on the strong arm and the masculine judg- ment of husband or lover. Just as soon as she settle questions, makes plans for him, plays fast and loose with him and generaly feels and conducts her self as though she were the mightier atom, then she has lost respect for him and happiness for herself. It Is all very well to talk of woman's progress. her intellectual advancement her equality with man and all the other Ideas that our rich and rare civilization has en- gendered, in affairs of intimate heart relationship the woman watts to ac- knowledge man as her master and isn't really happy when he is willing to be anything else.

Two Steps at 8 Time.

One evidence of the ever hustling char acteristics of the average New Yorker is shown on the stairways of the up town station of the elevated railroad at Park place and Church street The steps of these stairways are covered with rub Der, but every other step has large iron rings imbedded in the rubber
 This was caused by the fact that the New Yorker is never content to wait even one minute for a train, and that when he hears one approaching as he is at the foot of the stairs he will rush up the stairs two steps at time hoping to catch the train.
 AS result the elevated railroad off cials noticed that the rubber mating on every other step was wearing out twice as quickly as the rest For a long time they pondered as to the cause, and one day Manager Fransioli solved the prob lem. To know was to act in his case, and the steel re-enforced rubber now lasts if anything longer than the or dinary mats on the other steps.
