THE REGULARS.

There has been so much rejoicing and sorrowing over the volunteers that the great services rendered by the regulars have been somewhat obscured. There is a growing disposition. however, to give the backbone of the army proper recognition. Of course it is the busi- ness of the regular to fight, bleed and
 die for his country and for his small salary. That is what he agrees to do when he enlists He did it most brave ly in Cuba. General Kent shows in a striking way the wonderful work of the regulars in the battle at San Juan. The 9th infantry, which sustained the most casualties, lost 36.66 per cent. of it's men; the 24th infantry lost BAYS per cent, while his entire division lost in officers 20.3 per cent. and in men IA per cent. These figures, says the gen. eral, ''go contrary to all accepted the mathematical calculat tions, the statis- tics would not only indicate that we had lost the battle, but also that our troops had fled in despair. That is to say, when the percentage of killed and wounded exceeds a certain percentage it has been calculated that the soldiers will take to flight. Ordinarily the per
 centage in a battle runs to 3, or f pep gent. slsGhaps 8 little more.

A NIGHT IN A BUFFALO HIDE.
Queer Imprisonment of Hunter in the
 Northwest,

queer imprisonment of Hunter in the
 Northwest
 A party of scouts from the stations on Bledsoe's creek, in Summer county. was over in Wilson on tour of ob- servation of Indian signs. As they pre- pared to camp late one winter after noon Capt Jennings, who was of the number, started out to kill a buffalo from herd which was near by. There was heavy sleet on the ground, and he found it difficult to get in good range on account of the noise of his feet on the cracking ice, but after fol- lowing the game for several miles he at last killed a very large bull Fear Ing that the meat might be injured if left until the next morning, he skinned the animal and took out the Viscera. By the time he was done night had come, and he decided to remain with his meat instead of seeking camp in the darkness. So wrapping the huge hide around him, flesh side out, he lay down and slept very comfortably until morn- ing. On waking, he found himself tightly imprisoned in the hide which had frozen hard and now resisted all his efforts to escape.
 Hour after hour rolled by in agony to the Captain. He yelled at the top of his voice for help and strained and kicked with all his might at the raw hide inclosure, but it proved stubborn to the last degree. He doubtless swore many a bitter oath, for he was of too irascible a temperament to submit tamely. He expected his companions to seach for him, and they did, but with a great deal of caution, fearing that he had been killed by the Indians. His prolonged absence could be ac- counted for in no other way. He gave up all hope of extricating himself as the hours wore away, but help which he had not thought of was to save him from death which would have been extremely mortifying, at the least, to a man who had escaped Indian bullets and swam icy rivers like beaver. We will let him relate the issue to his own words: Well, the sun came out in the afternoon and this softened the hide on the top so I could get one arm out, and when got one arm out I worked like pizen until I got my body through.

Thanks to the unflinching bravery of the American soldiers, they kept on fighting against tremendous odds, while fifth, fourth, sometimes n third of all their comrades in a regl- ment fell to the ground"
 It will be, we suppose, generally ad- mitted that the regulars fought at least as well as the volunteers. It is also plain that sick or wounded regular is likely to suffer as much as a sick or wounded volunteer. So it is fair to think of the regulars with honor and sympathy while so thinking of the volunteers. Both are entitled to the gratitude and protection of their ad- miring countrymen.

GOOD COUNSEL.

General Polevieja is leading Spaniard. if there are any leading Spaniards, and we suppose there are some. Anyhow, he seems to be awake and not looking back into the fifteenth century. He tells his countrymen that Spain needs a new life7-new leaders, better newspapers, new national pol cies, and, above all else, new system of public education; the people must be taught.
 This is good advice. Spain will never amount to much until her people are that President Mckinley is not a Chinanan from Canton, that Buffalo Bill hasn't burned New York, that the Indians are not ravaging the country, and that "the Yankee pigs" are not en- some news that will astonish them when their countrymen who have been so generously sent home by the United States arrive, and if the educational process which will then begin is con- tinued it will be well for those who will be improved by it. In the language of the prize ring we have put Spain to sleer,' but it may be that her great awakening is about to begin.

FASHION NOTES.
The Right Place for Taffeta.

Taffeta holds its own as foundations for skirts. Each year there Is an ef- fort to make women believe that they are tired of the scrunch of taffeta-lined skirts, and each year women will make
 up their minds that they would rather have the scrunch than any other feat ure of the gown. Taffetas come stiff as board and creaking instead of scrunching, and such are used for lin- ing stiff, heavyweight broadcloths, as well as the many open-weave basket cloths that are to be so much worn.

According to an interesting article in the Lancet, sore throat arising directly from the effects of cycling on very dus- ty roads is growing more and more common. As often as not headache and depression are also felt, and, in short, the symptoms are generally those of one or other form of poisoning. When we come to consider the various ingred- tents of which common or high road dust is composed these symptoms are really not to be wondered at; but we are told by the Lancet that both pedes- trians and cyclists would suffer very much less from the complaint common Iy known as countryroaditis if only they would, while proceeding along the offending roads, take the simple precau- ton of keeping their mouths closed and brearhiag through the neses,s- GyslsSa

An American, MT. R. D. l., Mohun, formerly United States commissioner at Bona, Congo Free State, Africa, is about to undertake the greatest tele- graphic enterprise ever attempted in the Dark continent. He will run tele- graph line through equatorial Africa from Lake Tanganyika to Stanley falls, on the Upper Congo. As the territory is in the Congo State all the expense will be borne by the king of the Bel gians The line will be about 600 miles in length, and while 1t Is not as long as the lines in South Africa, it is the longest line to be run through wholly wild territory. When Mohun's line is in operation and the English line reaches it, Europe and America will be in easy communication with a vast re- zion but few years ago looked upon as the mystery of mysteries, geograph- ically.

Work has at last been begun on the Simplon tunnel. At the end of July the Swiss government informed Italy that operations would begin on August 1, and Italy, while taking note of the Swiss communication, asked to see the plans. The Swiss government demur- red, as Italy has no formal right, ac- cording to the Simplon convention, to see the plans, and 8 diplomatic 'inci- dent of microscopic proportions arose. Nevertheless, work was begun by the Swiss on the day fixed, and the Federal authorities have now decided to show the plans to Italy, who for her part has given orders for the beginning of the Italian part of the undertaking.

The manufacture of wood pulp in this country has become an industry of mammoth proportions. There are 1900 mills, producing more than 1,500, GOO tons annually. This takes the smaller and younger trees that would be spared by the lumberman, and with him on one side and the pulpmaker on the other the process of denudation goes forward at more ruinous rate than ever. Professor Fernow says that the supply of raw material will not last more than 10 or 12 years longer, and re- forAsting is urged by him and other authorities, who argue that the busi- ness will yield or per cent. on the cost of the land and the care of the trees.

At an ancient church at Valsbol, in Russia, it has been customary for the congregation to turn to blank wall and bow reverently before leaving the church. Why they did this nobody knew, except that their forefathers had done so, and had handed down the cus- tom. In making some repairs recently the origin of the custom was discover ed, for beneath many layers of white wash and paint a picture was found of the Virgin Mary which must have stood out brilliantly on this wall five or six centuries ago.
