Spain was once a great nation, and
the greatest military power in Europe.
Now she is bankrupt, and almost q
ruin. 1t is interesting to know that
the total population of Spain is 1861
632. Spain has an area of 1880 square
miles. The area OF France is only a
few thousand square miles greater, and
yet France has population Of very
nearly 40,000000. Texas has an area of
274,356 square miles. Spain could be
laid out on Texas and Texas would
have 1856 square miles left over. The
States of Pennsylvania, New York, IL
linois and Alabama have more popula-
ton together than has Spain, and are
Immensely more wealthy. These States
could borrow enough money, with their
whole field of commodities, men, and
capital behind the loan, to pay off the
whole national debt of Spain. They
could raise, pay and maintain a big
ger army than Spain could. Their nat
ural resources could outlast Spain's ten
to one.
OF course everybody in this country
believes that we could easily conquer
Spain, but the sensible and sober ones
do not think that is any reason why we
should force fight.

ONCE, ALWAYS Il COLONEL.

Europe has several woman colonies,
it being the fashion there to make roy
al women colonies. This land of the
free has, we believe, but one woman
colonel, and she is in the South, re-
gion especially prone to colonies. She
was a Miss Lewis Butt when she was
made a colonel by Governor Atkinson
of Georgia. Now she is Mrs. George
M. Cunningham, and the question is
asked, Is she still colonel? OF course
she is. Once a colonel always colonel
is the rule. How much of her military
glory has she lost by becoming the
communicating chief of Mr.. Cunning
ham? Clearly none. When bachelor
colonel gets married is he any less a
colonel to the outside world, or in real
ity, than he was before? Nay. Is a
woman colonel completely merged
when she marries? No indeed. The
same reasoning that made Miss Butt
a colonel would continue the title in
Mrs. Cunningham. And there must be
no cut-down in the number or the quail
ity of the colonies in these troublous
times. Moreover, Colonel Mrs Cum
ningham is especially entitled to be a
colonel because ''her coloring Is beau
tiful, she has large, lustrous eyes and
lovely hair, her features are the most
regular in the world, and she dresses
in soft fabrics No colonel can be
prettier than that, and few are as pref
ty Let the woman colonel of Georgia.

discriminating governor have placed

Women have known for a long time
that gray was to be abundant in the
Easter showings of new gowns, but
not until then will we realize how
startling are some of the devices for
saving the gray from q look Of entire
demurity. One of the more tasteful
examples of this trick was sketched for
this column. It's fabric was silver gray
cloth, banded twice in the skirt with
folds of scarlet velvet lace filling the
space between the bands. On the bod
ice double lace revers and triple epau-
lettes were edged with the velvet and
velvet gave the bow in front and the
belt The latter was finished with a
sash of lace matching that on the
skirt Beneath the chiffon bow at the
throat was small plastron of white
satin covered with white chiffon.

fastened at right angles to each other.
These bars connect with the instru-
ment and, following the motions of the

which control the receiving pen at the
distant station.

autumn months, after the silt-laden
water has passed off, the sluice-gates
will be closed gradually until the reser-
voir is full, which, in an ordinary year,
will be in January or February. From
April to the end of August, when the
river runs low, and the demand tor
water for the sugar, cotton, and rice
crops is at the highest, the gates VIII
gradually be opened, and the supply IN
the river will be supplemented by the
water stored in the reservoir. BY the
time the reservoir is emptied, the new
flood water will have arrived. Thus
no break will occur in the irrigation
system. The dam will be seventy-six
feet above the river-bed at it's lowest
point, and the difference in the level
or head of the water will be about for
ty-six feet. It's approximate length Will
be about six thousand feet, and the
amount of water to be stored Is calcu-
lated at 1,065, 900, 900 cubic metres. Locks
will be constructed capable of passing
Nile steamers through the cataract.
The Assiut dam is intended for raising
the river level during the summer, thus
increasing the distributing power OF the
canals in middle Egypt and the Fayum,
and it is designed much upon the lines
of the great barrage north Of Cairo.
This work will be of incalculable ben
eft to Egypt. A regulated Nile will be
much more useful than the unregulated
one, even if it Is not quite so romantic.

The outlook continues to grow more
peaceful. 1t is evident that the gov
ernments of both Spain and the United
States are proceeding as carefully,
courteously and fairly as they can in
trying to avoid war The excitement
among the people of both countries
seems to be abating. Every day which
passes without fresh trouble is gain,
and adds to the hope and the probabili-
ty that in the end an honest, honorable
and peaceful settlement will be reach
ed. The report of the court of inquiry
is yet to be made, and possibly there
will be some kind of intervention' by
the United States in Cuba. 1t Is not
probable that there will be cause of
war in the report, and perhaps there
will not be such intervention as the
hot-heads have been demanding. Pa
thence and reasonableness are the great
needs, and with them a very difficult
situation may be conquered. The
preparations for war are not alarming,
for they are also preparations for
peace.

Few persons are aware, says the
Northwestern Lumberman, of the vast
and increasing amount of wood which
is used up in industries that cannot
properly be classed as lumber business,
but depend on the latter for raw ma
terial. Inlaid work is among these-a
small item, comparatively, unless one
becomes acquainted with it's extent by
a study of it's details, figures, etc.,
when it's Importance is made appar-
ent. An industry of this character is
the manufacture of parquet floors, or
wood carpet, and, though one of COM
paratively recent date, now reaches, it
is said, to the sixth figure in the value
of business transacted yearly; in fact
millions of feet of lumber are used
from all parts of the world, and one
Chicago firm consumes more than g.
100000 feet of strips annually in the
manufacturing of this flooring, ships
it's products to almost all countries.

Some people know what they want.
1t is related that a youthful daughter
of a wealthy German brewer visited
an engraver's Office in New York and,
looking over the books on heraldry, fin
ally ordered one coat of arms for her
own use which combined the prettiest
features of those belonging to three
great English houGes. Her youngest
sister, not to be outdone, ordered one
for her note paper and books which
contained devices from five old English
houses, not one of which conceded with
the others choice The amazed en-
graver endeavored to expostulate, but
neither of the young women would lis
ten to his argument. They liked the
coat Of arms, they said. Anybody
could buy them who wanted to, and
they didn't propose to allow any ridicu-
1ous nonsense to prevent them having
what pleased them; besides that, they
wanted them different, anyhow, SO that
they wouldn't get mixed up.

A USEFUL INVENTION.
A MankatO Man Makes DustIess Ash
Sitter.

L. M. Braunlich, Of this city, has
invented q dustless ash sitter for use
with hard coal ashes, and has applied
for a patent. The sitter consists Of a
sheet or galvanized iron pail, with q
sitter of wire netting. When the
ashes have been dumped into the
sitter, which goes half way down the
inside Of the pail, the cover is placed
on and the whole thing is shaken up.
The ashes goes into the bottom Of the
pail and the unsifted coal remains in
the sieve, where it can be put back
into the fire.
Mr. Braunlich claims that his in
vention saves money, coal, time and
labor. G. L Jackson, who was
formerly with the Chicago Portrait
Co., has taken the general agency for
the pail and will employ a number Of
canvasSers. The pail will be made by
