Red. White and Blue In San Juan.

Porto Rico's new brand of patriotism
extends even to the mercantile pursuits.
A traveller who recently returned from
there came into the New York Sun
Office with several packages in his pock-
cts and under his arms, which he had
bought in the stores at San Juan. Every
one Of them was tied with red, white
and blue ribbon, and half of them were
wrapped in paper ornamented with the
tricolor "There has come to he such a
demand for red, white and blue there, ;"
said the returned American, ''that the
supply can't keep pace with it. Only
the swagger shops can afford to go into
it to any great extent, and one of the
large stores advertises prominently that
all purchases over so cents in value
will be tied with United States of
America special ribbon. The patrons
Of the stores insist, SO one of the shop
men told me, on having the red. white
and blue somewhere on their pur-
chases."

Into the thick of the fight he went, pallid
and sick and wan,
Borne in an ambulance to the front, a
ghostly wisp OF man.
But the lighting soul of fighting man,
approved in the long ago.
Went to tle front in that ambulance and
the body of Fighting joe
Out from the front they were coming
back. smitten of Spanish shells
Wounded boys from the Vermont hills
and the Alabama dells.
Put them into this ambulance; I'll ride
to the 'front.'" he said
And he climb ed to the saddle and rode
right on. that little old ex-Confed.
From end to end of the long blue ranks
rose up the ringing cheers,
And many powder blackened face was
furrowed with sudden tears
AS. with flashing eyes and cleaning sword
and hair and beard of snow.
Into the hell of shot and shell rode little
old Fighting Joe.
Sick with fever and racked with pain. he
could not stay away,
For he heard the song of the yester years
in the deep mouthed lannon's bay
He heard in the calling song of the guns
there was work for him to do
Where his country's best blood splashed
and flowed round the old red. white
and blue.
Fevered body and hero heart! This
Unions heart to you
Beats out in love and reverence and to
each dear boy In blue
Who stood or fell mid the shot and shell
and cheered in the face of the foe
AS. wan and white, to the heart of the
fight rode little old Fighting Joe!

Mustard as an Autiseptic.

DR.. Roswell Park writes to the
Buffalo Medical Journal commencing
mustard as an antiseptic. He says:
"One never goes into house, or az
least locality, in which mustard can
not easily be procured, and my GUS
tom is thoroughly to rub and scrub
my hands with a mixture of green or
other soap, cornmeal and mustard
flour, for about five minutes. After
rubbing thoroughly into all the Gre
vices aud creases of the hands and
nails by aid of nail brush, one may
be absolutely certain that his hands
are sterilized, no matter what he may
have been doing previously. / have
no hesitation in proceeding from an
autopsy to the operating room if may
thus protect my hands. Used as in
dicated, the mustard leaves no un-
pleasant sensation; and one may feel
that by the time it produces unpleas-
ant tingling or rubefaction of the skin
its essential oil has done its desired
work as an antiseptic. | have dis
carded all other means of preparing
the hands, aud in several years dse
of mustard in this way have never
been disappointed or had the slight
est reason to question its effective
ness. | might add also that it is an
admirable deodorizing agent, and will
take away from the hands all offensive
odor Of dead or dying tissues and all
redolence of iodoform.

Greatest Depth of the ocean.

The deepest verified soundings are
those made in the Atlantic Ocean,
ninety miles of the Island of st.
Thomas, in the West Indies, 1875
fathoms, or 23, $50 feet. Deeper
water has been reported south of the
Grand Bank of Newfoundland, over
$4,000 feet in depth, but additional
soundings in that locality did not cor
roborate this. Some years ago it was
claimed that very deep soundings,
from 40, 900 to 49, feet, had been
found off the coast off South America,
but this report was altogether dis
credited on additional investigation in
these localities. The ship Challenger,
which in 1924 made voyage
round the globe for the express pur-
pose of taking deep-sea soundings in
all the oceans, found the greatest
depth touched in the Pacific Ocean less
than 5000 fathoms, and the lowest in
the Atlantic, 1915 fathoms, as given
above,

After all, schools are the greatest

Interior Department, reports 26,O00
Indian children enrolled in the schools
last year. Tribal relations are being
broken up and Indian lands divided
into~severalty. The aborigine, how
ever, has not yet been educated up to
the point of holding on to the land,
and asa consequence it soon passes
into the hands of his white brothers,
Notwithstanding the paternal restric :
tions thrown round him by the gov
ernment. The Iudian has not yet
learned the necessity of promptly
meeting taxes, and owing to his failure
to come to time with respect to this
exaction, considerable amount Of his
lands, in Minnesota, passed from him
last year. Until our red brother learns
Ut taxes are as certain as that other
certain thing, death, he should have
some special provision in law for his
protection.

Says the New York Times:-A con-
temporary states that it is safer to be
convicted murderer in the United
States than an innocent man, and
submits these data as proof; Not one
convicted murderer in fifty is hanged
or killed by electricity; of the men
lynched a much larger proportion
than / in 30 was innocent We have
no means at hand for verifying these
figures, nor are we able to determine
what proportion of the population are
convicted murderers or what proper
ton are unjustly executed. The con-
clusion, merely from casual observa-
ton, seems plausible; the logic is
sound. Still, if it be not too optimis-
tic, wo should like some more data to
guide us"

In a genealogical way the funniest
thing on record is that Menelik, Negus
of Abyssinia, insists on his descent in
a straight line from Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba. If this we're ques-
toned the august Negus would have
your head cut off, OF if you limited
that there was bar sinister somewhere
you might be impaled. There is,
however, noble family in France, the
Counts of Noe, who show on their
family blazon the Ark and that most
adventurous voyager, Noah, and they
claim that veteran seaman as their re-
mote ancestor.
