Wilkes had the courage which does
not always accompany q sarcastic
tongue, for he fought two duels and
was nearly killed in one Of them, and
when challenged on q third occasion he
behaved himself, on the authority Of
Croker, who wal certainly no admirer Of
his, ''like a man of temper and honor"
His most serious encounter was with
Mr.. Martin, and Wilkes was only saved
by two buttons diverting the bullet.
One of his admirers procured these pre-
cious relics and put them in case with
the following inscription, "These two
simple yet invaluable buttons. under
Providence, preserved the life Of my be-
loved and honest friend John Wilkes in
a duel fought with MI. Martin on the
10th Of November, 1858, when true
courage and humanity distinguished
him in a manner scarcely known in for
mer ages
Ellis invincible bravery, as we'll in the
field as in the glorious assertion Of the
liberty Of the subject, will deliver him

WONDERS OF THE HEART.
The Immense Amount of Work IL
Has to Perform.

From the Boston Journal Of Commerce.
The heart and the lungs are two of the
most active and important organs of the
body. They are important, says medical
writer, from the fact that they are inti-
mately connected with the publication of
the blood and its production, this blood
once termed "the life" The human heart
has an average of about five inches in
length by four in diameter, doing an i'm
mense amount of labor for so small an
organ. Though small it does a work equal
to raising one foot high 122 tons in each
twenty-four hours of life. During sixty
years Of human life, at that rate, its
labors will be equal to that of raising
2,671, 800 tons.
This action of the heart commences be-
fore birth, continues day and night dur
ing sleep and waking, varying according
to attending conditions, the pulsations be-
ing more rapid during the day than in the
night Fright or other excitement will
increase its action. Females have more
rapid action and circulation Of the blood
than males, the average Of men being sew
enty heart beats each minute, and that
of the women being five more.
BY this immense amount of labor, the
ents of the body, is sent TO every possible
part of the system, to increase growth in
early life, and to repair waste, as the body.
is ever changing, old particles passing off
as the food supplies new materials, thus
giving strength, activity health and phys
ical happiness. The blood reaches and
sustains every bone, muscle, nerve and
fiber of the system. This is rendered nee
essary from the fact that the body is ever
decaying, wasting away, particle by par
ticle the amount of blood nutriment re-
qured being controlled by the amount of
labor performed and the general activity.
Hunger is an index corresponding with
the absolute needs of the body.
Notwithstanding the fact that the heart
performs such an amount of labor about
that of lifting five tons each hour of hui
man life it gets but a little rest, even
less than the lungs, only a part of a
second between each beat. 1t must have
a wonderful constitution, toiling from
awhile before birth, till the breath leaves
the body, if not little afterwards. This
Is all the more remarkable since a de-
ranged stomach has q bad influence over
the heart, increasing its tolls.
Palptaton of the heart is often caused
by the arrangement of the stomach
which is equally true of many other dis
eases, the stomach having very great
control over the whole body. IL Is I'M
fortunate that this organ. so ravenous,
50 greedy, so hard to be satisfied should
be so reckless in reference to the effect
OF its errors on all OF the rest Of the body
But the heart viii continue 70 do its duty
as far as possible, serving the rest Of
the body faithfully.

CUBAN COOKERY.
It's characteristics and Some Dishes
for which 1t Is Famous.

From the New York Sun.
So much has been said about the star
walton of the reconcentrados and the hun
ger of the Cuban army that the name of
Cuba is not apt to awaken in the Amerl-
can MIND epicurean visions of dainty disn-
es. II should be otherwise. What is really
incomprehensible to people who have lived
in cuba, Notwithstanding the only too
stern reality, is that death from starvation
should be possible in a country so richly
endowed by nature.
The Cubans in normal times live well,
perhaps too well; they are gourments, and,
as a people, are lavishgy eXtravagant on
their table The inner man is catered to in
preference to the outer. 1t seems almost as
if the tropical sun created a craving for
food with which to balance the losses oc-
casioned by the extreme heat. Meals are
served as they are in Europe, on the con-
tinent-that is, coffee or chocolate and rolls
in The morning, a substantial breakfast at
noon, and dinner in the evening. AS the
afternoons are long and hot, some cooling
drink is generally taken at about o'clock.
The chief defect of the Cuban diet is an
excessive consumption of meat and rich
sauces. but this fault like most others, is
an inheritance from Spain, which colo
nized the island and laid the foundation of
rs cookery, just as England did of the

THE MAUSER BULLET.

The wounds sustained by ma
rlnes at Guantanamo bay were
terrible iii effect and appearance,
says an exchange. In the very
first accounts of the skirmishes
there it was noted that the dead
were terribly mangled. This was
due to the efficacy of the Mauser
bullet at short range.
The wounds were saucerlike af-
fairs, and at first it was thought
that the Spaniards had used soft
cartridges, which set up" or
spread like a mushroom upon i'm
pact, but the fact that the Mauser
rifle was the regulation small arm
of the Spanish infantry led to an
examination of the kind of dam
ege it does.
AT short range the Mauser bull
let, because of its wonderfully
rapid twist, tears a large hole.
At greater distance.its gyrations
grow fewer, its flight is steadier,
and it makes a Sitting wound
like a saber thrust. At the great
est effective range the Mauser
bores like an auger, leaving only
small incised wound and COM
pletely penetrating bone, sinew,
tendon or flesh opposed to it.
The United States adopted the
krag Jorgetsen Of 1892, about the
same time the Spaniards conclu-
ded to arm their men with the
Mauser. Both are high power
magazine rifles of the ''cut off,
type, central fire cartridges, and
nearly the same weight. Each
carries five cartridges. The Maui
ser is y calibre, the Krag Jorgen-
sen 30. The Mauser bullet weighs
173 grains, the Krag Jorgenson 22O
grains. The Mauser is elected by
only 30 grains of powder, while
the Krag Jorgensen takes 81 but
the Spanish bullet is propelled by
smokeless powder, which gives an
initial velocity of 2,2S0 feet per
second while ours goes from POO
to 270 feet slower.
The highest pressure smokeless
powder used by the Spanish is
equal to u tons to the square
inch. Moreover, the ritling of
the Mauser gun barrel is such that
the bullet has more twist when it
leaves the tube. Hence, the big
lacerated, saucerlike wounds {.
When the bnllet leaves the rifle
1t plerces the air or any object
less impregnable than armor plate
with a horizontal spiral motion.
At the same time it proceeds in
minute undulation.

suFFERINes OF orH SOLDIERS.

A correspondent Of the New
York Sun, who is with tie Ameri-
can army III Cuba, as they pushed
their way in front of Santiago,
gives this graphic description of
what our brave soldiers had to en-
dure.
No man who was not in the ter
rible downpour of rain which
drenched the American army t@
the skin this afternoon Gan UNDER
stand the suffering of our troops
and the heroism with which they
bear it.
Cavalrymen dismounted for tAe
first time IN years, and infantry
men from cool Michigan and
Massachusetts, toiled hour after
hour along these so-called roads
and paths through the jungle.s of
cacti, poison vines and high grass
that cuts like razor, in blister
ing sunlight that makes the sky
lines of the distant hills simmer
and waver before the eyes, while
from the stagnant pools strange,
gray mists float upward, and vul-
lures, with outstreched wings,
look greedily down from above.
The vegetation torn down and
trampled under foot by our troops
has fermented, and a horrible
sour breath arises from the earth.
Curious stenches steal from hid
den places in the jungle.
Thousands of gigantic land
crabs, spotted with yellow and
red, wriggle and twist themselves
along the sides Of the'roads, with
ieprous, white claws clicking Vi
ciously, CHASTITY, dreadful sight
to young soldiers fresh from New
York, Boston and Detroit. Rag
ged Cubans slip noislessly through
the underground or sprawl under
the shade of huge gossamer trees
watching with childish pleasure
the steady onpush of their Ameri-
can defenders.
The heat is almost intolerable.
The sun is like great yellow fur
mace, torturing everything living
and turning everything dead into
a thousand mysterious forms of
terror.
