Boards a In Militaire.

FROM the New York Herald
To be in the very height of fashion this
summer despite the heat, despite the fact
that a mans personal appearance is not
apt to be improved thereby, you must wear
a short beard. This is the very latest edict,
and it is going the rounds of the most con-
sistent votaries of swelldom. Our army in
the field has brought it all about Shaving
in the midst of a campaign is difficult, and
the rumor is that many beardless man
will come back from the front his cheeks
covered with a fine hirsute adjournment
So an army beard is to be the thing this
summer and fall Men who are rot soldiers
are TO adopt it quite as well. The smooth
face. so fashionable for the past few
months, has received quite setback. Any
sort of beard will be better than nonc The
long beard, too, will have it's patrons be-
cause of Lieut. Hobson. Altogether this Is
to be q beard year"

Americas Raw Material for Soldiers
From tho Aupust Pavjeu Of Pariavrs

From the August Review of Reviews.
The average young American has grown
up with a habit of thinking and acting
for himself; and when he goes a soldering
he is capable of throwing as much personal
zeal into charges like those at Santiago as
if he were fighting a duel and the fate OF
his country and all he held dear depended
upon his personal exploits. The well-drilled
troops of European countries are formula
BILE enough, certainly. But there are re-
sources of intense personality in such men,
as for instance, the members of Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt's regiment of rough rid
ers,' that count in a crisis for a great deal
more than the passive mechanical excel
lences of the trained soldiery of the mill
tary powers. 1t is not boasting, but the
sober truth, to say that no other nation
ton any such large percentage of fighting
material Great Britain has in her young
men of the higher classes, from whom she
draws her officers as brave and capabie an
element as can be found in the world But
her farm iaborers are no more to be CON-
pred with the sons of Americn farmers
than with an Australian foot ball team.
nor are the young men of her industrial

Canada or Australia, IL the young men of

STRIKING CONTRASTS.
Differences In the American, Spanish
and Cuban Soldiers.


and Cuban Soldiers.
Cuban Corr >spondence London Chronicle.
The American soldier, the private in the
ranks is magnificent. The percentage of
men rejected to those accepted is unknown
in any other service. The very small stand
ing army makes it possible for the men to
be selected with the greatest care, both as
regards their physical, moral and intel
lectuai requirements. OF every hundred
men who seek enlistment ninety of them
are rejected, which insures the accepted ten
being very narrowly picked over. Even
now, when the emergency required the reg
imentS to be recruited above the peace
strength, the general average has not been
much reduced, and the recruit who knew
nothing of soldering until a few weeks ago
has borne fatigue as well as the seasoned
veteran, and stood unmoved while the bull
lets went whistling over his head.
The contrast between the American and
Spanish soldier is as striking physically as
it IS every other way. The American pri-
vate is broad-shouldered and well set up;
the Spaniard is small and 1.-THE. But the
greatest contrast is in their intellectual
status The American soldier not only fol-
lows the plan of campaign with intelli-
gence, but has his own plan, which he fire.
quently considers to be better than his Off
GERS. The Spanish private knows nothing
of what goes on around him and has
power OF comprehension. lie Is Simply d
machine, to obey because he has to, and
because he stands in very great fear of his
officers.
And interesting both the American
and Spanish soldier is the Cuban. Smaller
even than the Spaniard, living on nothing,
ragged, he has brought Spain to her knees.
The Cuban, of course, is a fanatic solely.
L imagine that very few of the natives have
any comprehension of the meaning of the
word liberty, although they know very well
OnDYegSpd them
thing is better than a continuance of Span
ish rule. AS one sees the Cubans, their
brown bodies visible through their rags,
their general air of neglect, he may laugh
at the Cuban idea of soldering but he
must still respect them for what they have
done.

less, 1t is the one song which our country
has produced that appeals TO every Ameri-
can with equal power and that is in every

NOVELTY IN FALL GLOVES.
Daiaty Miniatures Are Painted c'
the buttons.

Miniatures for glove buttons--that is
the latest fad OF the fashionable woman.
But IL is only on her very best gloves
that tho miniature buttons are seen.
And such exquisite gloves as they
arel They are made Of the softest of
cream color suede, and are bound with
different delicate shades OF kid. The
backs of the gloves are beautifully
stitched in two contrasting shades OF
silk. The gloves come in a short, four
button length. Each button is n min
ature framed in n tiny rim Of gilt
Various miniatures are uccd. One pair
Of gloves will be decorated with the
portraits Of The beauties Of the French
court. Another pair will show Princess
Louise, whose picture is so famous for
its beauty, and others will have por-
traits of the prominent women Of their
time.
These gloves can be bought in cream
color. bound with faint green kid and
stitched with pink and green silk. They
also come in cream color, with the bind
ing and stitching in two shades OF vio-
let. Later in the season they will show
the kid binding and stitching in many
other colors.
1t is rumored that these miniature
glove buttons promise to be such a fad
that before long the society girl will
fasten her glove with the miniaturc OF
the man Of her heart, or perhaps OF her
pet poodle
There are many other novelties among
the new gloves this fall, both in suede
and glace kid. Suede gloves, with imi.
tatlon pearls for buttons, will he much

pearl buttons set with sparkling rhine
stones.
For walking gloves all the shades OF
red and tan will be worn. The most

LOADING eY ELECTRICITY.
Newly Discovered Power Much Used
In Handling CnrRoca.


A few years ago the idea Of loading a
ship with $500 tons cf nour in 81 hours
by means Of two small motors would
have been looked upon as absurd. This
was done the other day in Tacoma, says
an exchange. Two Thousand tons OF
cargo have frequently Lcon loaded or
unloadcd In n dag hy steam power, but
the important factor in the record
breaking achievement at Tacoma was
that the conycyor was worked by elcc.
tricity. With the apparatus which has
been designed for tho purpose -FOUR and
grain can be loaded AZ any stage Of the
tide and independently Of the weather.
If it should rain canvas is quickly
spread from the door of the warehouse
TO tho ships hatch. With the system of
loading ordinarily used 10 men arc re-
quircd to do the work of enc electric
conveyor, with which the bags are de-
livored into the ships hold at the rate
Of $500 TO 2,70o pounds a minute. or
as tons an hour. When extra speed 10
desired two conveyors are employed
This was done when the record OF 2 900
tons in "a hours was made. The electric
conveyor is 40 feet long. II is moved
at will on two wheels In the center. \
two-horse power motor supplies the
power, the current being taken from
the nearest electric wires. The sacks
are placed on revolving belt OF rubber
which passes over IL rollers. The belt
Is propelled by driving wheel at.
tached TO the side Of the apparatus. The
rolls are placed closc together and the
belt revolyes at sufficient speed to car
ry all the weight in flour or grain that
can be placed upon It. The conveyoI
