A meeting was held at the Brigham
Young college last evening, for the pur-
pose of encouraging the young men
attending that institution TO enlist.
President Kerr announced that if any
of the graduating class of this year de-
sired TO go. they would be Immediately
excused from further attendance at the
college, and their diplomas presented to
them. 1t is quite probable that four
members of the graduating class VIII
volunteer their services, and perhaps a
half dozen more from the other classes.

APATHY EXPLAINED.
One reason for the small number of
volunteers enlisted here. is that proper
notice OF the coming of the recruiting
officer was not given, but by far the
most important reason is that the I'M
preston generally prevailed that the
church authorities were decidedly op-
posed to enlisting to fight Spain. This
belief was greatly strengthened by the
remarks of President Orson Smith at
the tabernacle last Sunday, when he
depicted the horrors of, and condemned
the idea of going to war, but said moth
ing of the patriotic duty of the people
to defend the flag, hence people carried
away the impression that to enlist
would be to go against counsel. This
feeling has been somewhat removed Ey
the publication of the presidency's
letter. but still there are people VINO
doubt its genuineness.
-Four of the men enlisted here were
formerly members of the n. G. u. One
of them, Martini Lund, gave up steady
employment at a very good salary, to
enlist. Two of the men, I4und and Lars
Petersen. are dead shots, and will
doubtless make good records.

Relies of Spanish Cruelty.
From Leslie's Weekly

In Fort St. Philip (Cavite) we found two
typical dungeons of the dark ages. Each
was in the wall, and was entered by a mar

through 1t ended about six feet from the
floor of the cell. The latter Is about 6xS
feet and horribly foul. Human bones are
said to have been found in both. and this
indicates that deaths have here taken place
within fifteen years, for no bone can last
that long under such conditions
One almost shuddered as he passed the
place of execution, in one corner of this
fort. The culprit faced the wall and was
fired at by squad of soldiers. The wall
was fairly peppered with hundreds Of
holes, and we picked out one bullet with a
penknife Some of the holes were recently

look back to our visit to this Spanish fort

VENETIAN GLASS,

Its Fragile Beauty and Exquisite
Coloring Unsurpassed by Modern Art.
From the Woman's Home Companion.
Venetian glass owes it's extreme thinness
and liShtness to the want of lead in its
composition. All the ornamental shapes
Were blown, and owed their beauty to the
skillful manipulation of the worker whose
deicacy of touch and artistic taste were
often a heritage from generations of glass
blowing ancestors The most priced Of the
Venetian productions was the beautiful
'yitro-di-Irina,' Or lace glass, generally
Known filigree. OF this there are two
kinds. the "ritorto'' and the 'reticelH." Tie
former was the less elaborate, and consist
ed of a single tube twisted and given a
spiral direction, the ground of the vessel
being of a different color. The .'reticelli"
designs were more varied. Sometimes the
twisted tubes We're powdered with gold and
made vertical, horizontal diagonal or
curved: indeed, every variation was given
that ingenuity could suggest or fancy de-
wise.
Aventarine glass was invented by the
Venetians. it's secret being discovered by
the accidental dropping of brass or copper
filings into pot of melted glass; which re-
suited in the diffusion of gold specks or
threads throughout the mass. It's name is
said TO signify adventure. resulting from

Top Coats Are Longer.


Perhaps the only change noted in over
coats is in the cut, for there is nothing
particularly new in point of colors or cloths.
All box topcoats are worn down to cover
the knees. They fit snugly to the shoulders,
but are cut full back and front, being meas
urably reversion to the only lately dis
carded bell shape" The small points of
seams at the cuffs, facings. cut of pocket
naps. collars and sleeve buttons are as for
merry at the discretion OF personal taste.
Careful observance of these observ atoms
on current fashions will produce what may
be claimed as the best dressed American.
by some it is sweepingly asserted that the
Americans are the best dressed people in
the world. This is far from true. As a
massed proposition there is too large a pro-
portion of ready made clothing and bargain
made garments. But this may be set down
ana abetted by example, that the best
dressed American is the best dressed man
IN the world. His pre-eminence is contrib
uted to by the art of his tailor the origin
ailty of his haberdasher. the fecundity of
the native manufacturer, and his own good
taste.

How Rats Multiply.

In this city rats are found in consid. erable numbers, the brown rats predom. mating on the ships and wharfs, the black rats in the stores and warehouses, and the Alexandrian rats being limited to the holds of the ships that come from southern ports. Weasels and ferrets are bred to keep down their numbers. The fecundity of the rats is so great that iD few years they would overwhelm a whole city if they were not kept down by artificial means. One pair will rear four or five families of 10 to I5 to each litter in one year, and in six munths these young ones are ready to repro duce. Thus one couple in the course of three years could raise population of several hundred thousand if not re- strained by any destructive measures.

Cats of Other Days.

The lot of the average nineteenth
 century cat does not compare favorably with that of its ancestors. Everybody mows that the early Egyptians held ;he cat sacred, and any one injuring a sacred animal was liable to severe pun ishment. Among the ancient laws of Wales was statute which prohibited the slaughter of cat under curious penalty. The owner of the slaughtered animal held it by the tip of the tail, with its nose touching the floor, and the slayer had to give him, by way of con- pensation, as much wheat as would bury the entire animal out of sight. The grain was supposed to represent the amount that the owner would lose through the depredations of vermin by being deprived of the cat.
 Saxony, Switzerland and other Eu- ropean countries also had laws enacted for the protection of cats, which were regarded of economic value Now, how ever, pussy is simply decorative do- mestic adjunct

This fact is proven by the opinion of Prof. Hilgard, given above, and the numerous testimonials the company has received from all parts of the state. We are gratified to be able to call the attention of the pro- ducing public to this home institution which is supplying want long felt for proper fertilizers in California The president of the company, M. F. Me Laurin, has had over 27 years experi- ence in the fertilizing business East and South and here in California. The secretary and treasurer, R. P. Sibley, has also had as long an experience in the sale and practical gse of fertilizers, The office of the company is at 237 West First street and the factory on Railroad avenue, Los Angeles. The company has made personal inspection of nearly all the farms and orchards in this part of the country, ,ofwhich record is kept so that any one desiring fertil- izers can ascertain at once what is best for their soil.

John R. Grant died the other day in Washington. He was 55 years old, and for twenty-five years had been first perfecting and then trying to have rec ognized his air-bag process for raising sunken ships. For quarter of cen tury he worked on his invention through every conceivable difficulty, and at last, at meeting with Lieuten- ant Hobson, succeeded in convincing that officer that the best means he could find for raising the sunken Span ish ships off Santiago was the long struggling air-bag process. The scheme was tested and the contract awarded, but the energy that had overcome so many obstacles could not endure sue cess so sudden and complete.

Henceforwall-to uso Nelson S words about his own most desperate acction- "there was no maneuyering, there was only downright fighting" and great as was Jones' unquestionable merit as 8 handler of ships it was downright fight ing endurance of the most extreme and individual character that won this bat tie. When thus in contact, the superior ity of the British eighteens over the American twelves, though less than at distance, was still great, but far heavier disparity lay in the fabrics of the two enemies. The Richard was very old ship, rotten, never meant for naval use. The Serapis was new, on her first commission. The fight hitherto having engaged the port guns of the latter, the starboard lower gunports were still closed, and from the ships touching could not be opened. They were therefore blown of, and the fight went on.
 "A novelty in naval combats was now presented to many witnesses, but to few admirers" quaintly wrote Lieu tenant Dale, who was in the midst of the scene below decks.
