SPANS MANUFACTURES
They Are UnImpOrtant, Few in NM
eF and Are Growing Weak
e. Constantly.

No European or American country
Of like OF similar population has 50 few
manufactures as Spain. Moreover, the
Spanish manufacturers, few and IN
important as they are, outside Of the
province Of Catalonia, seem to be on
the decline, and the total number Of
operatives in the entire kingdom is no
larger than half dozen Of the chief
manufacturing cities Of New England
With the exception Of the dearth Of
coal, Spain has many natural adyan-
tages, and its mineral wealth, particu-
larry iron, lead, copper, zinc and quick
silver, is extensive. but IT imports from
other countries in q year cotton goods
twice the value of its exports of cotton
goods and silk goods IN value four
times greater than the silk fabrics
which it exports. These exports are
chiefly to Spanish colonies, a market
which the home country has lost in
part, and the balance Of which is like
y to be wrested from it soon.
In some European and American
countries manufacturing interests
(this is notable Of Germany are in
creasing in a very rapid ratio; in some
European and American countries the
increase is small, but sufficient to be
marked, and in 4 still fewer number
there is no increase, but, at the same
time, no decline. Spain is literally fall
ing behind, and attention is called as
instance Of this to the fact that Sc
vile had 10000 SILK looms in the six
teenth century, while at present there
are only 5000 in all Spain. Toledo,
famous for its swords and cutlery, has
one factory with 800 vOrkmcn. Cotton
mills were introduced so far back as
1869, yet the whole number of opera
tives in this industry outside Of Gaia
lOnia, does not exceed 10000.
Few In number as are the manufac-
lures Of Spain, their Importance IS
exaggerated by the inhabitants, and it
has long been a matter Of public
knowledge that the government fig
ures concerning Spanish manufac-
lures published in Madrid are alto
gether misleading. Moreover, it is
thought needful by some Spaniards to
augment the Importance of their
manufactures BY artificial means
Thus in the Toledo weapon factory re-
ferred to, stated hours are fixed Of
fcially for the admission of visitors"
These are permitted to enter between
eight and twelve in the morning and
one and six in the afternoon, except
on holidays, and there is a patrol Of
soldiers between twelve and one Cthe
hour Of quick lunch" in the United
States) to prevent strangers from en-
tering, the assumption Of the Span
iards being that If too much freedom
were accorded to such visitors they
might not be sufficiently impressed
with the Importance Of the manufac-
ture Of guns and swords.
No satisfactory answer has ever
been given 70 the question, apart from
the characteristics Of the inhabitants,
why Spain, which is admirably located
for commercial purposes with num-
Der Of seapOrts on the Mediterranean
and with comparatively little compe-
titOn from Mediterranean countries,
either in Europe or Africa, has not
utilized the opportunity Of supplying
them with manufactured goods.-N.

sUNsTROKE INFECTIOUS.
A Prominent English PhysieIan says
'ssiriasis7 Is a Disease, and
Catching.

If progressive science is to be abso-
IutelJ relied upon, people afflicted with
sunstrcke this summer must be quar-
antined.
D.. J. SambOn, who IS considered an
authority on such matters, says that
sunstroke is infectious and IS produced
by a specific germ
Dr.. Sambon's theory Is that SIN
stroke, as a germ disease, requires
great heat for its development, but is
not directly caused By heat. He main
tains that sunstroke is unknown in
many OF the hottest parts Of the
world; nor in the temperate areas is
it prevalent IN the warmest years or
IN the hottest season Of the year.
Dr.. SambOn concludes, from careful
" verified facts, that the geographical
distribution, the endemicity, the oc-
currence Of epidemics, the character
Of the symptoms. the very definite
LESSONS, the liability to relapse, and
other points in the natural history Of
the disease, are strong arguments for
regarding Eiriasis as belonging to the
same category as yellow fever, dengue
and certain other tropical affections
universally acknowledged to depend
on specific germs-germs for whose
growth and Transmission to man, and

A TEST OF NERVE.
The Little Man Sized Up the Big Man
Correctly and Gave Him
the Run.

War talk started the trouble. The
big man had been holding forth to the
Ioungers in the country store, and the
little man had v7Ormed his way into the
conversation much to the disgust Of
the big man, who tainted the little
man with not having the nerve Of q
woman. This promptly brought forth
from the little man a challenge for a
test Of nerve, which the big man con
deseendingly accepted.
"Now what propose" said the big
man, taking charge Of the affair, as
big men are wont to do, especially
when a little man is concerned, ''is
this: Sam yere has got a key Of pow
der, an propose tibet we put a light
ed candle in hit an set down by hit,
an the one who sets the longest has
got the most nerve"
A murmur Of admiration went round
the Ioungers at this bold proposition,
but the little man stuck up his nose
and said:
Guess I've got the choosin' OF this
yere nerve test"
"Al right, sonny, go ahead" an
swered the big man, with q wave Of his
hand and a smile Of pity.
The little man turned toward the
window and gazed absently out in the
direction Of the big mans house, while
the big man waited with a grin on his
face.
Finally the little man arose and said:
sI'm ready fer thet thar nerve test"
The crowd followed them out doors
where the little man promptly made
7 Z -
and insisted that the big man should
follow his example.
Then he made for the big mans
house and threw open the kitchen door
and was about to enter, when the big
man said uneasiIy:
''See yere, the ole woman has jes'
mOpped out in thar"
where's yer nerve?' sneered the
little man.
This brought the big man in with his
muddy boots, and as they stood on the
newly cleaned floor the little man said:
Yer wife has jes' gone across to the
neighbours, cause I seed her, an we'll
jes' stand yere an wait till she comes
back an see who has got the most
nerve
The big man only gasped at this
bold proposition.
shes comm frum thar now" an
nOunced the little man from his posi-
ton near the window.
The big man moved uneasily from
one foot to the other, while the crowd
grinEed in at the door
shes crOssin' the road" said the
little man.
Beads Of perspiration were standing
on the big mans face, but the little
man was calmly chewing a straw.
''She's comm in at the gate" an
nounced the little man. Shell be
we're in" But the little man was
alone, the big man having fed
And all the little man said, as he
wiped his feet on the grass, was:
II knowed all the time thet he didn't
hev no nerve"
But see we're" put in one Of the
Ioungers, 81 don't see nothin' Of his

CORNERS IN WHEAT.
They Have Always COrnered the Oar
ing Spectators Who Have
Tried to Engineer Then

Without exception, all the attempts
made by spectators to corner staple
products like wheat and corn have
failed in the end Almost Invariably
the Spectator has retired bankrupt.
The end has been penury and penny
coffee and cake stand, as in "Old
Hutch's" case, or suicide.
The best known Of the wheat ma
nipulators was BENJAMIN 2. Hutcbin-
son. In 1888 he cornered the market
and alone drove the price up TO 50 a
busheL Like Letter, he raised the
price Of bread. Like him, he failed
and lost millions. 'Old Hutch" was
long 1O, OOO, 900 bushels of wheat. The
men whom he had squeezed were only
too glad to squeeze him when the cru
cial moment came. From possessing
SO, 600, 900 he came down to living on
81 day, and then had to abandon his
tiny sidewalk restaurant and 60 back
to Chicago. At the time he failed he
had nearly 1000, 600 bushels Of corn
and 200, 900 bushels Of oats in his
corner" In addition to his stock Of
wheat.
In March, 1892, James r. Keene "eor-
nered" 20, ZOO, 600 bushels Of wheat
Twelve millions were In high-Priced
cash wheat. The inevitable drop
came, and Keene lost "a, 600. 900.
Several years later Crawford & Val
entine, Of Chicago, planned a similar
coup and came to grief CrawfOrd's
millionaire father, Andrew Crawford,
tried to pull his son out OF the mire
and went into his pocket for million
or more.
In 1898 ed" Partridge. the well
known Chicago board Of trade OPeT-
ator, lost nearly $1,000. 600 when wheat
made one Of its spectacular slumps.
Charles Partridge, whom ed" used to
denominate as his fool brother"
made $4,000 the same day by being
on the other side Of the market.
Henry n. Smith, the OId-tfme friend
and ally Of Gould In Wall street, had

the Task of courtesy shown them by the
champions of last year, and when the
game was begun last night, it was.evi-
dent the team was determined to get
even. The captain did not lack ma
terial when the umpire called the game,
and one of the strongest teams repre-
senting the club this season on the alleys
started in to do the visitors. Elizabeth
began the first frame in front, but that
was all. They fell off in every frame
thereafter, and their exhibition was a sor-
ry one when compared with the rolling by
which they gained their regulations in
seasons past. The Bowling Club gave a
fine display of skill, and laid low the
chances of the Elizabeths' success with a
splendid average. The home team had
lots of ability and used it in the right
direction. It was even work for the New
Jerseys after the third game, the members
holding pace with Holler, the only one
that faltered. The cleverness Of VIII
Chamberlain, Jake fPiercy and Sutton
