their distance from It. The distance can
be roughly determined by watching. the
flashes and counting the seconds that
eiapse before the thunder Is heard.
On "Wednesday last the thunder followed
the lightning flashes so quickly that hard-
ly second elapsed between them, showing
that the discharge between the clouds and
the earth had taken place within a short
distance. Such a storm Is exceedingly
dangerous and, during one, people should
shut down all windows, shut off electric
fans and keep out drafts and away from
windows These precautions are necessa-
ry from the fact that column of air In
motion Is a comparatively good conductor
of electricity, and electric discharges in
vanably take the path of least resistance.
When the thunder follows the lightning

TOBACCO FOR OUR TROOPS.

The Demand Urgent.

Plenty Of 1t In Cuba, but Not For Them.
The Demand Urgent.
1t suggests sending coal to Newcastle
to forward tobacco to u troops in
Cuba, and yet tobacco is n of the
things that the soldiers have asked for
most urgently and suffered for most.
The mother of one of the officers in the
marine battalion at Camp McCalla on
Guantanamo bay received a letter from
her son a few days ago in which he said:
"Please send some tobacco and pipes
down to the men. They are greatly in
need of Them"
"Men who fought as these marines
did, said this mother, land who were
the first to plant u flag and defend it
on Cuban soil, deserve all the tobacco
they can use. I sent a lot to my son to
distribute, but I could not supply the
whole 600. ] understand that each Off
Ger in the marine corps will see to its
delivery if tobacco is forwarded to him."
Men who have used tobacco and have
been deprived Of it can readily under.
stand what the soldiers suffer when de-
MED the consolation of a pipe. There is
tobacco enough in Cuba, according to
all reports, but it is all within the for
titled cities, and the meu who are guard
ing outposts are not likely to get a large
share of it when it is captured. Elk

inconsiderable degree. That island with
a population of 2, 800, 900, in area con
tains $4,000 square miles Of wonder
fully productive soil, yielding coffee,
sugar, fruits, nuts and tobacco. 1t has
an export and import trade amounting
to S36, 900, 900 a year, and is capable I'M
der American control and management
of ii creasing enormously in population
and productiveness.
The United States has a credit bal
ance abroad of 5000, 900, 900 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, and the country
owes far less in the European money
centers than for the past fifteen years,
for the reason that American securities
have been bought back in large sums
and bought at a low figure, and the in
terest charges which have been a heavy
drain on the people are reduced accord
ingly, Already gold imports have be-
gun, a most unusual thing for this time
of the year. But Europe has no other
way of paying it's debts to this country.
The offsets which used to eat up the
trade balance are unequal to caring for
the enormous sum of 5000, 600, 900.
Another great crop this year is ready
to pour its products into the markets
and exports of grains and food supplies
will equal those of 1897.
The output of the gold mines of the
United States last year reached $780,
600, 0O0, and that of the silver mines
1888, 900, 900, and the present year will
see those figures exceeded. The money
circulation has increased, and cheap
money, which stimulates business, has
become the rule in commercial and in
dustrial circles.
The business of the country is in an
unusually sound condition. There is
ample confidence, a buoyant belief in
the future, and courage and enterprise
equal to the opportunities. There are
years of boundless prosperity ahead OF
the people of the United States, and the
good times have already begun.

Years Of Prosperity Ahead.

The United States in the past six
months, has passed through an entirely
new experience for the republic, that OF
carrying on a val which has necessi'
tated the invasion of territory other
than on the American continent. That
experience has cost millions Of dollars
and yet the country never had as bright
prospects. Peace is in sight, the war is
virtually over, and soon the normal con-
ditions of the land will be resumed in
the pursuit Of peaceful occupations.
When has there been such a conjunction
of fortunate influences of the first mag
nitude?
Although the war has ceased to be a
serious drag on business, the stopping
Of wal expenditure of something like
$1,000 900 a day will in q short time do
away with many of the taxes now COL
lected, unless new complications should
arise, and that is something approach
ing the impossible.

Silver Dollars al Santiaan.

Some days ago the silver papers OF
the country were doing considerable talk
ing about the demand for American silver
dollars in the Philippine islands, and
arguing that the demand was sufficient
to prove the correctness of the free coin
age theory and the rascality of the
''gold bugs" Last week General Shat
ter telegraphed to the treasury depart
ment that the merchants of Santiago
were refusing to accept the ''dollars of
our daddies" except at a discount of so
per cent. Up to date the silence of the
free silverites on the Santiago silver in
cident has been positively oppressive.
Whether, because it happened so near
home, it is not worth noticing, or be-
cause the effect of it was contrary to the
tenets of free coinage, caused that
silence is not known, and really makes
but little difference.
The reason the Santiago merchant
refuses to take American dollars at par
IL that he has been accustomed to hand
ling silver money which is based on sill
yer and is therefore worth only its bull
lion value. The anomaly of having two
silver dollars, the Mexican and that OF
the United States, n worth twice as
much as the other, circulating side by
side, is a puzzle to the people of the
island, and until the difference of the
standard upon which those two dollars
is based is understood, the American
silver none will be of little use in Cuba
and Puerto Rico. In Cuba, Spanish
gold and silver coins circulate at their
bullion value, and the bank notes are
at a huctuating discount, and American
money will be regarded with suspicion
by the business men on the island until
time has been had to thoroughly impress
on their minds the fact that in the Unit
ed States and the greater number of the
nations of the world American money is
worth it's face value in gold, because it
is based on gold.
If the free silver papers wish to be
honest in dealing with the money ques-
ton they should take up the Santiago
silver matter and thoroughly and truth
fully explain it to their readers. Unless
they do their sincerity to bring about
free silver will be subject to grave sus-
piciOn.

ders. The guimpe, yoke or little plastron
of the bodice serves for the disposal of
what trimming is employed.
Children's skirts should never be scant
or close fitting at the waist behind, but
should have an ample fullness there, and
1t is hardly necessary to say that the skirt
and bodice should be sewed or buttoned
firmly together.
The dress illustrated is Of gray challie
with pink and white figures. The blouse
of cream guipure opens over full front of
pink silk gauze and has a plated yoke of
the same goods. The sleeves are of challie,
with guipure caps and cuffs. The pink
belt is fastened by a silver buckle, and a
bow of pink satin Is placed on the left side
of the bodice. JUDO CHoLLET.

Full bodices remain in favor for little

the skirt consists of three flounces. This
is a pretty style for thin, oyergrown chill
