WILL OISBAND THE CUBANS
NO PAY FOR THE INSURGENTS.
with the Spanish Army Out of Cuba,
There Is No Reason for the Gu
bans to Remain Under Arms-A
Plan for Future Payment.

Chicago, Aug, 22,-A Washington dis
patch to the Inter Ocean says
President Mckinley and the members
of his cabinet are unanimous in the deter.
mnation that one of the first official acts
toward bringing about restoration of
peace and order in Cuba shall be the dis.
bandment of the Cuban army. As there
is no longer a Spanish army in the field
in Cuba, there is no longer any reason for
the existence of the Cuban army, and it
is therefore to be regularly mustered out
of service. The government has no idea,
however, of adopting the quNotic idea of
paying the Cuban soldiers for their SER
vices during the war or assuming the re-
sponsibility for their payment. Ii the
idea were not in itself altogether fanc-
full one, there are at least three good rea-
sons why, in the opinion of the president,
it would not be wise to adopt it:
/. The United States would not under
any circumstances be justified in paying
debt it does not owe.
?. There is no appropriation out of
which such payment could be made, and
it would be necessary for congress to first
appropriate the money.
j. To place such "A large sum of money
as would be required in the hands of the
destitute and Impoverished rank and file
of the insurgent army would result in
their utter decentralization and be respon-
sible for all sorts of disorders.
Plan for Payment
The president has, however a plan in
mind by which the insurgent army can
be disbanded without the necessity of
turning the soldiers adrift with no sort of
recognition OF their services. The plan
contemplates the granting of an honor
able discharge to each soldier, accom-
panied by a certificate of service and Il
promissory obligation, signed by the Gu
ban general in chief to be made good out
of the public resources when the Cubans
shall have established the stable govern
ment which the United States has pledged
itself to help bring into existence.
In addition to thus providing for the
soldiers of the Cuban army, the plan un-
der consideration by the president con
templates the mastering INTO inc OIlled
States volunteer army of a large number
/ of Cuban soldiers who are American citi-
zens. Their services could be used to good
advantage as members of the various inn
mune regiments to be maintained on gar
rison duty in Cuba
The plan above outlined has the APP
provaI OF some of the highest officers Of
/ the Cuban army, and is likely to be put
/ into operation very soon.

is known as an ortho-chromatic inter-

Death from Gas of q Cesspool.


In cleaning out a cesspool, the ut
most care should be taken to agitate
the air of the place before sending the
cleaners into it. In the case noted,
man, after working for a moment be-
low the surface, complained of a most
nauseous taste and smell in his
mouth and nostrils, and came out of
the pool to breathe. He returned to his
work, but was obliged to leave the
place again for the same reason. A
third time he went down, and when he
did not send up his buckets as usual,
his co-worker looked in and saw him
lying on his side, half buried in the
refuse. In attempting to rescue him
he himself became partly unconscious,
and it was with great difficulty that he
got out Of the pool and had sufficient
strength to give the alarm. Before
such places are cleared out, disinfect-
ants should be thrown in, and as much
of the cover removed as possible IN
order to admit pure air. If force
pump is at hand, stream of air should
be thrown into the place in order to
drive out whatever dangerous gases
may have accumulated there.

Undertaking Wet Land.

One of the problems that confronts
the average agriculturist is the neces-
sity for draining the certain parts and
parcels of wet land found on almost
every tract of wet land in the country.
Small farmers cannot afford to buy or
hire the large and expensive ditching
machines that are on the market. They
must do their work as they can, few
hours here and there as time permits.
Ditching is slow, hard and very dis
agreeable work and the necessity ex-
lists for some simple and effectual ap-
paratus for making it easier. Without
doubt, the cheapest, most durable and
effective drainage is made by digging
deep and wide trench, and filling it
in with at least two feet square of sand
and gravel. A drain like this will not
only last lifetime, but will drain
every foot of ground through which it
passes. Ordinary drain tile will not
do this, and is therefore, to an extent,
impractical and lacking in utility.
When the gravel and sand are filled in,
layer of the ordinary earth should
be scattered lightly over it; then the
remainder should be filled in without
packing. OF course, there will be a
quantity of loose earth equivalent to
the body of sand or gravel. A high
ridge should be made, and left undis-
turbed for season or two, if possible,
meanwhile the elements and gravita-
ton will have settled the grounl, after
which the surplus earth may be leveled
off.

DOCTORS DON'T DENY IT.
The frank testimony of a
famous physician.

When Dr.. Aver announced his sarsapa-
rilla to the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such a remedy
was what they had looked for, and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and
as patent medicine--is SO generally ad-
ministered and prescribed by physicians as
DIR. Ayers Sarsaparilla for blood diseases,
and diseases of the skin that indicate a
tainted condition of the blood. Experience
has proved it to be a specific in such
diseases, and sores of long standing, old
ulcers chronic rheumatism, and many
other like forms of disease have yielded to
the persevering use of DR.: Ayers sarsapar-
lila after other medicines had utterly failed.
The testimonials received from physicians
to the value of this remedy would fill a
volume. Here is one leaf signed by Rich'd
H. Lawrence, M. D., Baltimore, Md.
at affords me pleasure to bear testimony
to the success which your preparation of
Sarsaparilla has had in the treatment of
cutaneous and other diseases arising from
vitiated condition of the blood. Were it
necessary, might give you the names of
at least fifty individuals who have been
cured of long.standing complaints simply
by the administration of DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
pa-rilla. One very remarkable instance
was that of quite old woman who had lived
Jacksonville, near this city. She had been

afflicted with the rheumatism for three
years, and had taken as she had informea
me, more than one hundred dollars Mortns
of medicine to obtain relief, yet without
any beneficial result. advised her to try
a bottle of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla and told
her that if it failed to do her good, would
refund the money. A short time after

a neighbor of hers similarly afflicted was
also entirely relieved of his complaint by
its use. This is the universal result of the

wide-Tire Carriages.

An Improvement in the wide tires,
about which SO much has been said of
late, is In building the vehicle with
the front axle about an inch shorter
than those ordinarily used, and the
rear axle an inch to an inch and a
half longer. This gives from two to
two and half inches difference in the
space between the fore wheels and the
hind wheels. In running, the two
wheels make track or line, nearly
double the width of one. Allowing the
tire to be four inches wide, the mark
on the roadway will be from seven and
a half to eight inches wide. The prac-
tical value OF this style of wheel can
scarcely be appreciated. Instead of
deep cuts and ruts, which are a men
ace to all vehicles, we would have an
approximately smooth road surface,
and the soil would be much less likely
to become cut up and soft. These
wheels would act like rollers. They
would crush down ruts and Irregular
ties, and have a constant tendency to
keep the road in order, rather than de-
'stroy it. 1t is suggested that law be
passed compelling wide tires on light
as we'll as heavy vehicles. A skeleton
wheel with a wide tire might be made
extremely handsome. The felloe could
be thin and light, and the spokes
braced from the edges of the wheels
in such a fashion as to secure the
greatest strength and durability. It
is predicted that once the wide tire
fancy for light vehicles gets started it
will speedily push all old-fashioned,
narrow-tired wheels out of the market.

Patent Plate Lifters.

Now and again there have been put
upon the market plate lifters of various
sorts. These are metal contrivances,
designed to reach into an oven and
take out the dish at the back without
disturbing those in front. or burning
the hands of the cook. Among these
appliances are number that seem to
have points of advantage, but they are
by no means satisfactory. There is
need of some simple device by means
of which the plate or dish may be Sc
curely clasped and lifted over the other
dishes without danger either of drop
ping the one or upsetting those in
front. A curved wire with clamps held
in place by clasp sliding over a
straight handle, to which the curved
portion is attached, is one of the most
practical. This, however, must be op-
Grated with both hands, which is in
convenient, and sometimes impossible.
Invention in matters strictly pertain
ing to household affairs, has scarcely
kept pace with that development in
many other lines of business.

A Singular Find.

A very singular find is recorded in a
London magazine. Some ivory cutters,
while at work upon an elephants tusk,
discovered the head OF an assegai or
African spear embodied in it. The
tuck was being cut up for knife han
dies. 1t is surmised that the spear
was thrown at young elephant, and
that the head broke off and lodged in
the hollow of one of it's tusks. Then,
as the tusk grew, the spear-head was
pushed further and further towards
the tip, and at length the ivory grew
round the steel blade itself.
