Advantages of Bare Feet.

Visitors to Scotland used to be hOrri-
led on seeing so many children run
uing about barefooted, says the Pail
Nall Gazette. Bare feet are less COM
mon now than they were generation
ago, and perhaps the change, while
showing growing prosperity in the
nation, is altogether to be recommend
I'd. Children's feet grow so fast that

IF it's childhood the sleeves Of jacket

feet in boots too tight-even worse, too
too short-may be a cause Of torment In

han clumsy, heavy, ill-shaped boots. In
the winter the feet may, indeed. want
some protection from cold and wet, but
Turing a great part Of the year children
NAV safely and healthfully go bare
footed.
Some mothers, by no means OF the
poorest class, are convinced .tnat the
comfort and symmetry Of the feet in
maturer years are largely to be gained
by giving them freedom during The

a Washington correspondent, and it takes
an incident of this sort to show it up in
its full strength and magniticence.
Gov. Tanner of Illinois was the first to
offer the fighting forces of his State to the
nation. Gov. Mount of Indiana telegraph
ed that Indiana would make Il generous
response to arms. Gov. Black of New
York sent word that militia of the En-
pire State. numbering 1900, could mo-
bilize within twentyfour hours after or
ders were received. The belief is also eX-
pressed that there are 600, 600 men in New
York State available for service. Gov.
Atkinson Of West Virginia insists that he
will furnish at short notice fifteen of the
best regiments that can be raised in the
Union. Gov. Holcomb of Nebraska will
supply 1,200 well-drilled men and pledge
100000 volunteers. Gov. Wells Of Utah
says his State will do its full duty when
| il comes to raising troops. Adjt. Gen.
Sykes of Tennessee will enlist 1.S00 ey-
perienced soldiers and raise 10000 volun-
teers. Gov. Clough of Minnesota wires:
"Minnesotians are fighters, and will only
be satisfied in the front ranks" Gov.
Stephens of Missouri declares that if war
| is declared he will issue call for $50, 900
troops.
And so it goes and so it comes, with
other warrior States to hear from. There
is no lack of soldiers. Spain can depend
upon that. Old Glory was at half-mas
because the tears were being shed for the
dead in Havana, but it proudly and de-
family waves in the breezes that blow
from the north, south, east and west, and
| it will be well for the Spanard if the
| good ship Maine went to the bottom of the
| Havana harbor as the result of an in
scrutable act Of providence.

assertions are thought to be reliable. says

NOTES OF THE DISASTER.

Brief Bits of I'm mportant News Bearing
on the Horror in Havana Harbor.
The wreck has sunk several feet already
in the soft mud.
The Spanish Government will stake all
on the claim that the disaster was acci-
dental.
The main portion of the wreck, as seen
from above and noted from below, was
blown to starboard.
A large quantity of clothing has been
taken from the wreck and will be given
to the reconcentrados.
The Spanish anti-American feeling in
Havana is growing and Americans are in
suited openly on the streets.
The most intense anxiety is shown by
the Spanish officials in Havana, who are
in constant communication with Madrid.
Divers found the bodies of twenty men
In hammocks, where they had been in
stantly killed by the shock of the explo-
sion.
Admiral Sicard issued orders forbidding
any United States official or sailor to talk
of the Maine disaster with outsiders un-
der severe penalty.
Significance is attached to the fact that
the wrecked ship was the first foreign
war vessel to be anchored to that par
ticular buoy since the Cuban trouble be-
gan.
Sharks have given little trouble, but
the vultures left scarcely anything but
the skeletons of three men, who were en-
tangled in debris very near the surface
of the water.
A Spanish lieutenant openly boasted
that if any other United States warship
arrived she would be served the same
way. His brother officers applauded him
uproariously.
One thing seems certain. if the Maine
was blown up by an outside agency, the
agent was mine, and not torpedo, as
no torpedo known could have produced
such tremendous results.
The number of missing is eighty-fve OF

vana harbor it would have been regarded
as declaration of war and the beginning
Of war. A Government torpedo explod-
ed under the Maine by trusted Govern
ment official is as hostile if not as open an
insult. 1t matters not that the Spanish
officials in Havana expressed their horror
of the destruction of the Maine. and the
Queen of Spain sent her condolences to
the President.
When the board of inquiry establishes
the facts that there are torpedoes In the
harbor. that Blanco's naval officer guided
the Maine to her anchorage, and that q
torpedo was exploded by means of the
secret cables controlled by the Spanish
Government officials, there can be no fur
ther investigation or inquiry. This Gov
ernment will not try to find out who ex-
ploded the torpedo. The whole case then
rests with Spain. On her rests the re-
sponsibility. On Spain will be the sus-
picion of having made another treacher-
Gus assault upon the United States. Those
who are most experienced in diplomacy
and the more delicate relations of Govern
ments express the opinion that the Presi-
dent can do nothing but declare war on
Spain and send the navy to lombard Ha-
vana. He must accept the evidence be-
fore him.
Spain alone can prevent war under such
circumstances by making amends. She
can express her regrets, tender her apollo
gies, lay hands on the criminals whom
Blanco must know, because they must
have been in his employ, and execute
them, salute the American flag and offer
to pay an indemnity for the loss of the
ship and another for the lives of the 25C
men who were murdered.
1t would remain for this Government
TO make the terms of peace that would be

Clever Crows.

The crows seem to be very clever in
Japan. At any rate. they are so re-
ported by an author of travels in that
country. Several of them were look
ing at a dog with a big piece of meat
and were saying good deal to each
other on the subject. After much ear
nest speech one of them succeeded in
tearing off small piece, whereupon
they all surrounded the dog, and the
small piece was dropped near him. IN
wisely he turned to seize it, while the
other crows bore off the big piece to the
tree, where they all ate it. The dog
looked vainly about for it, and then
went and barked at them namely. An
other time q dog was holding q piece
of meat in the presence of three crows.
After a consultation tney separated,
the two going as near as they dared
to the meat, while the third gave MS
tail bite which made him turn sharp
ly round, while the other crows seized
the meat and made off with 1t to the
top of the wall. Along the sea shore
they are very amusing, for they take
the air. in the evening, seated on sand
banks facing the wind, with their
mouths open.

READY FOR A FIGHT.
In Case of Trouble with Spain the
United States Would Be Prepared.

In Case of Trouble with Spain the
United States Would Be Prepared.
In spite of all denials it is well known
that unusual efforts are being made to
arm and equip every sea coast fortitica-
ton, and that the regular army officers
throughout the country have been quietly
notified to put their commands into the
best possible condition. The President
does not want war, and will go long
ways out of his way to avoid it. but he
fully recognizes the force of public senti-
ment and is preparing rapidly for the
worst that may come. Press dispatches
from different points show preparation
that is being made:
New Orleans, LATHE United States
cruiser Marblehead has Joined the North
Atlantic squadron at Dry Tortugas.
st. Louis, Mo.-The war fever con.
tinues unabated. and already the work OF
organizing companies here has begun.
Washington.-All the marines on shore
duty have been ordered to hold themselves
in preparation for service at the shortest
possible notice.
Tampa. Fla.-The cruiser Montgomery
has been ordered to Havana, where she
takes the place of the wrecked Maine un'
til further instructions are received.
