Century riding is cruel recreation
rs INDUCED in on Sundays by many
clerks, bookkeepers aad others who
stand at counters or desks six days of
the week, with scarcely any outdoor
exercise. They are in no sort OF con-
dition to ride one hundred miles at a
stretch, and the frequent results OF
this sort of OVERRIDING are insomnia,
staleness and general unftness for

Kansas is a great wheat State, the
leading wheat State, notwithstanding
the prominence given California, the
Dakotas and Minnesota. Kansas led
ali OF the wheat growing States last
year, harvesting 51,026, ,G04 bushels
for 1897. But the crop of the
present season will be greater by
many millions OF bushels, barring
an unusual and unexpected calamity.
Indeed, the acreage is so great and
the crop so uniformly promising that
the chances are for the biggest wheat
yield in the history of the State, not
excepting the year 1892, when the
State measured seyenty-rour millions
OF bushels.

Cuba is known to be by nature one
of the richest parts of the earth s
surface. Before the decline of the
sugar industry in the West Indies
many vast fortunes were extracted
from it by agricultural processes that
were very far from being thorough.
Even in the most prosperous days of
Cuba Spanish misgovernment pre-
vented any real development of its
resources. The fortunes that were
realized were won by merely scratch
ing the surface. Every official was
a Spaniard, and no official, from the
Captain General down, had any other
object than to acquire for himself the
largest fortune in the shortest time
and to take it back with him to the
peninsula.

Going back some two hundred years,
says the Atlanta Constitution, we find
that in 100 there We're barely more
than 1000, 900 people in both hemis-
pheres who spoke the English Ian
guage, whereas at the present time
there are not less than 125, 900, 900.
Other languages in 1909 were much
more extensively in vogue than was the
English, but for some reason they
lacked the agencies of growth neces-
sary to extend the area OF their supre-
macy and consequently the English
language soon eclipsel then. While
there are 125,000,000 people at the
present time who speak the English
language there are only 10000, 900
who speak the Russian, only 75, 000,-
900 who speak the German, only 3d.
900, 900 who speak the French, only

guage is considerably in the lead o.
its competitors.

ME-. Gladstone,s Estate.

Writing in the London Daily Tele-
graph, the Hon. f. Lawley states
that after Sir John Gladstone's death
the involved condition of Sir Stephen
Glynne's affairs, consequent upon the
mismanagement of the Hawarden
estate by an over-sanguine agent, was
disclosed for the first time. With
characteristic energy and prudence,
Mr.. Gladstone came to his brother-in-
laws rescue, and enabled him to re-
main permanently in the beautiful
Welsh home to which both were Sc
passionately attached. The sum then
advanced by Mr.. Gladstone to save the
Hawarden estate amounted, it is said,
to $3.50, 900, and two Of the farms be-
came Mr.. Gladstone's property. At
no time during his long residence at
Hawarden did Mr.. Gladstone's unof-
fetal income exceed S25,0O year.
Such, however, was the thrift and sa-
gacity with which the Hawarden es-
tate was managed, that the eldest son
of Mr.. William Henry Gladstone, born
in 1885, will, it is believed, succeed
to $50, 1000 year ON attaining his ma-
iority.

It is many years since a book deal
ing with economical and social ques-
tions has attracted so much attention
in France as the volume entitled ga
Quoi Tient la Superiorite des Anglo
Saxons," by Edmond Demolins, re-
marks the New York Sun. The au-
thor, who is the editor of the review
named La Science Sociale, begins by
pointing out the worldwide expansion
of the Anglo Saxon race, and then I'M
dertakes to define the causes of its in
comparable fitness for colonization.
About the expansion there is, of
course, no doubt, even in the minds of
Frenchmen, weak as they are in geo.
graphy. In North America the French
man has been supplanted by the An
glo-Saxon, and the same thing is true
of India, OF Mauritius and of Egypt.
The Anglo-Saxon now controls the
New World by means of the United
States and Canada; Africa, by means
of Egypt and the Cape Colony; Asia,
by means of India and Burmah i;
Oceanica, by means of Australia and
New Zealand; one may even say that
he controls Europe and the entire
world besides, by means of his manu-
factures and his commerce.

sANTlAco's CAPTURE IN 1862,


English and Americans Under Lord VIM
sor Did the Trick Effectively.
1t was Diego Velasquez who founded
Santiago in Cuba in 1915, thus making
it the Oldest town on the island. For
long time Santiago was the capital
and the headquarters of the various
murderous expeditions of the Spanish
against the mainland. Cortez made it
his rendezvous during his conquest of
Mexico. De Soto started from San
tiago in 1928 on his first expedition of
exploration. By the middle of the
century the place had grown to be
rich and important There was all
kinds of wealth there, the accumula-
ton, doubtless, of the plunder taken
from the defenceless Aztecs and the
countless other victims of Spanish lust
and avarice.
In 1868, 400 French landed in the
harbor and didn't have much trouble
in capturing the city, not half SO much
trouble as Sampson and Schley are
having now. This handful of French
held the town till ransom of some
$4,000 was paid. After this there
were frequent attacks by The numerous
bands of buccaneers nnd pirates that
infested the seas of that time.
But the real attack, and the one that
has chief interest for Americans of to-
day. was in 1862, just 100 years before
Havana was captured by the Ameri-
cans and English, when Lord Winsor,
with fifteen vessels and less than 1000
men, English and Americans, sue
ceeded without much opposition in
eff'ecting landing at Aquadores, the
very same town where Sampson was
said to have landed men to effect a
junction with the insurgents of to-day.
These 1000 men walked all the way
from the sea to the city, aud after
little brush with the inefficient force
of Spanish sent to oppose them, wiped
them off the face OF the earth and took
possession of the town.
1t is not exactly known why Lord
Winsor attacked Santiago rather than
Havana, unless it was that he thought
Il richer and easier. The English
were disappointed sorely to find that
the inhabitants, in leaving for other
parts, had either hidden or taken all
valuables with them, so there wasn't
enough plunder TO go around. The
invaders, however, confscated all the
silver church bells and the guns from
the fcri, and, as if just to show their
spite. blew up the Moro Castle and
destroyed the cathedral. The Moro
was rebuilt in 1868, and remains to
this day-or rather till the other day,
when Yankee guns once more battered
it. Philip I. was King of Spain at
the time, and he was angry that the
English should be so rough with his
belongings. 1t always has been part
of the Spanish nature to get angry
about little things and rave in help
less rage.
In 1862 the English took Havana,
and Santiago for while was left out
of consideration, but not for long. In
1766 along came an earthquake, wreck
ing half the city and putting 100 peo-
pie out of the misery of being Spanish
subjects. Since that time the town
has lived pretty even existence up
to the present time. Looking back
ward. we see that full 100 years
elapsed between the capture of San
tiago and the capture of Havana

why Swimmers Drown.

The sudden drowning of good
swimmer is not due to cramp, as
generally supposed. There is no
reason, says high medical authority,
why cramp in leg should prevent an
ordinary swimmer supporting himself
in the water by his hands or on his
back, or cause him to throw up his
hands and sink once for all like a
stone. The explanation is that the
drum of the ear is perforated, and the
pressure of water causes vertigo aud
unoonsciousness.
