Soldiers Travelling.

"When soldiers in the service of the
United States are travelling their COM
fort is pretty we'll looked AFTER" says F.
i. Horner, general passenger agent of
the Nickel Plate. "The government re-
quires the railroad company to provide
sleeping cars for the officers and also
for the privates if it is possible to pro-
cure the cars. The Thirteenth regi-
ment, which left Buffalo few days ago,
was carried in tourist cars, three men to
a section, two occupying the lower berth
and one the upper. OF course, if men
are to be carried in very large numbers
on short notice such arrangements
would be impossible, but even then we
would have to provide them with the or
binary day coaches. The volunteers who
answer the present call will be carried
in tourist cars if their journey lasts
through a night. Otherwise they will
go in day coaches. l don't think any
other country on earth looks after it's
soldiers so well. When 1 was soldier

Portable, and the men usually secured
ventilation by knocking holes in the

rifles. When the officers demonstrated,

CABINET OF CIVIL ADVISORS.
Two OF the Members Selected By Gen.
BrOOke-It Is Desirable That One Be
Selected Outside Havana.

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-two of the mem.
bers of the cabinet of civil advisers
which Gen. Brooke will form will be
Senior Deming Mendez Capote, former
vice president of the Cuban revoIln
tionary government and now president
of the special Cuban commission in
Washington, and DR.. Jose Gonzales La
nuza, a member of the commission.
DR.. Lanuza wired from Washington
Friday that he would probably be de-
tanned there for several days. Seven
or eight names are on the list of posi-
bilities for the other two positions in
the cabinet, among them Senior Pablo
Desvernine and Senior Adolfo Vanz.
Thus far only Havana men have been
considered, but it seems desirable to
make one selection from outside the
capitol.

through this there flashed again
binding light, and the face of Babette
peered in. So malign was its aspect
that 1 shuddered in spite of myself, and
then, in a fury 1 could not control,

"Out of my presence, bag! Begone!"
"Oh, ho!" she laughed, "a time will
come when monsieur will go on his two
knees and pray to Babette-to good Ba-
bette-to kind Babette-in a day or so
it will be thus"-and she laughed
shrilly. But go as you wish, to carry
your refusal to the captain"
She made a movement as if to go; but

she looked back.

Slow Eating.

The prevalent idea that slow eating is
very favorable to digestion is largely
fallacious, The important point is not
that we eat slowly or fast, but that
when we do eat we chew with energy.
Of course, when the haste is due 20 some
mental anxiety, that may injuriously
inhibit the secretion. Slow eating be-
gets a habit of simply mumbljng the
food without really masticating it,
while the hurried>eater is inclined to
swallow his food before proper masti-
cation. Hence, hurried eating is bad,
but rapid mastication is advantageous.
1t concentrates our energies on the act
in question. ard hence more thoroughly
accomplishes it. Moreover, energetic
chewing stimulates the secretion of
saliva in the most favorable manner.
These various points are so commonly
misunderstood, at least by the laity,
that they demand our frequent atten-

and forward in the cell as an exercise.
No thought of ever agreeing to de Com
eron's terms ever crossed me. I had,
however, resolved to make dash for
freedom when he came to me again. I
should pretend to agree, and then win or
lose all in the rush. Anyway would
not die here like a rat in a trap. I al
most chuckled to myself as I thought
was in fair way to outwit the free
lance. He was fool, after all, though,
at the same time, I could not but admit
that his move to get me to admit his in
nocence was a skillful one; still, it was
a plot which might overreach itself. My
captors had eased me of my belt, which
was so we'll stuffed with pistoles. They
had not, however, had time or Oppor-
tunity to search me further and had left
my clasp knife, which lay in my pocket,
as have said, together with a dozen or
so of gold pieces had kept there to be
at hand. I pulled out the knife, and,
opening it, ran my fingers along the
blade. 1t was three inches or so in
length, but sharp as razor; and with
it one might inflict an ugly wound in
struggle. I mapped out my plan
mentally. When de Gomeron came
again l should fell him as he en-
tered, arm myself, if possible, by snatch
ing his sword, and then cut my way out
or be cut down. I had no doubt that
might be able to effect the first part of
the programme. In those days was as
strong as a bull, and there were few
men, especially if they were unpre-
pared, who could have stood a blow
from me. 1t was in act two that might
come to grief. At any rate it should be
final and quick ending to the bust
ness, not the long-drawn-out agony
would otherwise have to endure. Now
that think of it, it was poor enough
plan, and it was lucky that, under
| providence, another way was shown to
me. Such as it was, however, it was
the only thing that occurred to me at
that time, and it would not be for want
of effort on my part that it would fail.
The more l thought over it then the

MADISON, Wis, Jan. IA crowd Of
nearly 1000 students of the University
of Wisconsin attempted to break up
the play of Fra Diavolo," given at the
Fuller opera house Friday night, and in
consequence five were locked up in the
police station. The officers attempt
ed to arrest a number in the opera
house, but they were rescued by
their fellows after a fierce struggle.
The opera house was crowded at the
time and many women were severely
handled in attempting to escape from
the building. After the play the stu
dents gathered in the streets and
threatened all manner of violence.
They refused to dispense at the COM
mand of the chief of police and five
