A PROBLEM FROM MANILA.
why Did Not the spanish Shoe

why Did Not the Spanish shoot
straight?
Lieutenant Bradley A. Fiske, Z. 5.
n, of the Petrol writes an article for
the Century on why We Won at
Manila Lieutenant Fiske says:
Considering that there were about
3S Spanish gun-captains. one may rea-
sonably ask, Was there not even one
of them who could shoot straight?
There is no apparent reason why a
Spaniard should not be able to shoot
as we'll as anybody else. Is bad shoot
ing an inherent trait in Spaniard?
If not, was the bad shooting due to
a lack of discipline? There is no rea-
son to believe il, aud the usually ac-
cepted idea of the Spaniard would tend
to make one suppose that there might
have been too much discipline, rather
than too little. Was it due to a lack
of intelligence on the part of the Off
GERS? The officers of both the Span
ish army and navy represent the best
Of the blood of Spain, where the ordl-
nary vocations of trade and, III n meas
ure, the civilian professions are deemed
beneath the patrician families; and the
literature of both services bears con-
vincing proof of the excellent instruc-
ton which their officers have received
and of their devotion to and interest
in their service. Was it due to lack
of courage? The Spaniard is and al
ways has been brave; and he was
brave, very brave, in Manila on the
LIST of May. Was the bad shooting
due to the constantly changing direc-
ion of the ships, necessitated by their
maneuyers? Not at all; for the ships
remained in column and nearly mo-
ionless for the greater part OF the
/ lime
But had there been en- ugh drill OF
the men in the handling and firing OF
Their guns under way and under cir
cumstauces Stimulating battle? This
question we are unable to answer
definitely, but the impression which
we receive from civilians, natives and
others does not lead us to believe that
there was the same labor and time
spent on practical gunuery drills at
sea as in our service.

EIoquencc aud Indigestion.

An observant critic is authority for
the statement that the after-dinner
speaker must either restrict himself to
a few Simple dishes, and these Very
sparsely partaken of, or run the risk
6f violent attack of indigestion with
possible serious consequences. He
saws that all good after dinner speak
ers are dyspeptics, and attribute much
of this state of things to the effect OF
the nervous strain incident to the
preparation for the speech to come.
Instead Of enjoying his meal, the ora
tor is full of anxiety as to the success
of his address. The vital force or
dinarily used by the digestive appar-
atus in the performance of its func-
tions is diverted to the brain leaving
little, if any, to carry on the work OF
digestion and assimilation. This is a
serious affair and one that demands
the attention of diners out. Once 1t
becomes understood men Of intellect
will be unwilling to risk the horrors
of dyspepsia for the sake of distin-
gushing themselves as after-dinner
orators. New York Ledger.

Why He Departed,

Burke once rushed ogt Of the House
of Commons in a rage, because as he
rose to speak, holding bundle of
papers, member jumped up, saying,
"Mr. Speaker, l hope the honorable
gentleman does not intend to read all
those papers and to bore us with a
speech in the bargain. -
'"A lion put to fight by the braying
of an ass, whispered the witty George
Selwyn.
This old anecdote is capped" by
one told in Sir M. Grant Duff 8
''Diary' OF London engineer.
The engineer, though not easily
worsted, admitted that he was once
put to flight by dealer i'll marine
stores. He had gone to examine,
from the mans back yard, house
which he was thinking Of purchasing
on behalf of a railway company While
standing there, he saw a huge mastif
making at him open-mouthed.
"Oh, you're in no danger, sir, y
said the dealer, "he's very particular
about what he eats. The engineer
instantly left the yard.

Men with weakened powers and exhausted

these ills are durable. Seek Dr. Greene, "a Tenn

The late millionaire, John VI. Forbes.
who died without making public ne
quests, gave much time and money
to matters OF public interest and tC
institutions, and very mnch for the
benefit of families of persons who had
done good public service in politics,
in the army and navy, and as educa
tors. Just before his death he gave
to the trustees of public reservations
a large piece OF land on the top
of Milton Hill for the purpose
of keeping open the beautiful
view for the general benefit.
His private charities aud great kind
ness to many people were very re.
markable, but are not fully known, a.
he kept a great part of it entirely
within his own knowledge. His ser
vices for general purposes during the
war of the rebellion, both in personal
labor and in money given, are well
known to few of the men who are
still with us and We're probably not
exceeded by those of any other indi-
vidual during the war times.
