The Ocean Currents.

The force, speed and directions Of
ocean currents are discovered by sys-
tematic plan of throwing sealed bottles
overheard and in time receiving reports
of them. These reports are indexed
and classified, with the result that
much valuable information Is gained
about the ocean currents.
For instance, a bottle thrown over
board November Is, 1895, was picked
up March 26, 1898, during which time
it had drifted 400 miles. Another
that was thrown over near Nantucket
was found, 5l2 days later, off the coast
of Scotland. Another, started from
Cape Cod, brought up at Cornwall
having Travelled $500 miles in 800 days.
Some bottles, however, have shown
an average speed of thirty-one miles
per day, while others have travelled
along at the slower rates of twenty-six,
fourteen, and even four miles per day.
In the Pacific Ocean there are fewer
chances of the bottles being picked
up, but the experiments are made there
with fair success. AS the work goes
on, the number Of bottles is increas-
ing, aud the captains and shippers are
becoming accustomed to finding the
bottles aud reporting them to the
bureau.-St. Nicholas for April.

The Beauty of Roman Women.

Northern beauty, however fine may
be the line of its contour, is never, for
good or evil, a mere beauty Of the body,
a thing beginning with itself and end
ing in itself. IT contains always a sug-
gestion; it is haunted by a soul it
leaves for its completion something to
the Imagination. But in the beauty Of
Roman women there is no trace of
spiritual beauty, none of the softness
Of charm. 1t Is the calm, assured,
unquestioning beauty of the flesh.
There are faces which should be seen
always in pure outline, for they are
without melting curves, delicate and
variable shades or any Of that sugges-
ton which comes from anything but
their own definite qualities, as they are
in themselves. The faces of Roman
women of the upper classes are cold,
hard, finished and impenetrable as
canoes. In a face which is at all beau
tiful you will not find line which is
not perfect, and this elegance and sure
ness of line go with that complexion
which is the finest of all compilations,
pure ivory. and which carries with it
the promise of temperament in which
there is all the subtlety of ire.-Arthur
Symons in Harper's Magazine For
i.?ril.

How the Heart Beats at Night.

The main use Of the coverings at
night is to give the body the warmth
that is lost by reduced circulation Of
the blood. When the body lies down
it is the intention OF nature that il
should rest, and that the heart especial
ly should be relieved temporarily of its
regular work. So that organ makes ten
strokes a minute less than when the
body is in an upright posture. This
means 800 strokes in sixty minutes
Therefore, in the eight hours that a
man usually spends in taking his
nights rest the heart is saved nearly
5000 strokes. As it pumps six ounces
Of blood with each stroke, it lifts $1,000
ouneess less Of blood in the nights
session than it would during the day,
when man Is usually in an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent
for its warmth on the vigOr of the cir
culatiOn, and as the blood flows so much
more slowly through the veins when
one Is lying down, the warmth lost in
the reduced circulation must be suppli-
ed by extra coverings.-N. Y. Herald.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form Of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elee-
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able TO do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache, backaehe,
fainting and dizzy spells. This mira
medicine is godsend to
weak, sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only so cents.

PEACE WITH THE sPAEIARDs
NOW.
War With Spain Has Bssn Officially
Declared OFF.

Declared OFF,
A scene that will 60 down in history
took place at the executive mansion
Tuesday, April llth. It was the ex-
change Of the peace treaties between
the government Of the United States
and the Spanish government. A pecu-
liar coincidence lies in the fact that just
one year before President Mckinley
sent 10 congress his famous message
advocating armed intervention on the
part of the United States in behalf of
the Cubans. This was really the slogan
Of war
Just one year to day afterward, the
ambassador from France representing
the interests of the Spanish govern.
ment, bowed himself into the presence
of the president OF the United States,
and delivered into his hands the copy
of the treaty signed by the queen
regent, Maria Christina, the humiliat-
ing terms of which were virtually die
tated by the American members Of the
Paris commission.
The treaty forwarded by spain is
handsomely engrossed on parchment,
in parallel columns Of English and
Spanish, aud bound in red morocco
heavily embossed with gold, thus Civ
ing TO the cover the appearance OF the
national coIors of Spain. The Ameri-
can copy is simple in design and bears
in margin the national colors.
The signatures Of Secretary Hay and
Ambassador Cambon were attached to
the protocol at S:2s O'Clock. Seals We're
attached TO the treaties, and they were
exchanged at 3:Sj o'clock. Those pres
ent beside interested parties and mem
bers Of the cabinet were Adjt. Gen.
COrbin, Solicitor General Richards, AS
sistant Secretary Of War Meiklejohn,
Superintendent of Public Buildings
Bingham, Assistant Secretaries ofState
Hill, Adee aud Cridier, and Senator
Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota, the
only member of the peace commission,
who is in Washington.
The following is the proclamation
issued by the president following the
exchange of treaty affiliations, made
public at $50 p. m:
Whereas, A treaty of peace between
the United States of America and her
majesty, the queen regent of Spain, in
the name of her august son, Don Al
fonso MIL, was conelud ID and signed
by their respective plenipOtentiaries at
Paris on the 10th day of December,
1898, the original of which convention
being in the Eaglish and Spanish Ian
guages, is word for word as follows:
Then follows the peace treaty in its
accepted wording.
And, Whereas, The said convention
has been duly ratified on both parts,
and the ratiacations Of the two govern
ments were exchanged in the city Of
Washington, on the llth day of April,
one thousand eight hundred and nine
ty-nine;
Now, therefore, be it known that 1,
William Mckinley, president of the
United States of America have caused
the said convention to be made public,
to the end that the same and every
article and clause thereof may be OBJ
served and fulfilled with good faith by
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the city of Washington this
llth day of April, in the year Of our
Lord 1899, and of the independence of
the United States l23d.

FilipinOs' Little Bluff.

Curious relics of war are those pos
sessed by several members Of the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment of volunteers,
which was the prime factor in the cap
ture of Caloocan. They are the wooden
guns with which the Filipinos armed
the spare members Of their army. In
appearance they are nothing more than
the broomstick gun, improvised by
many of Americas young hopefuls for
use in their sham battles. After chasing
insurreetOs until they were tired the
Kansas men fell back to look over the
destruction they had accomplished aud
found the little toys lying about the
hastily deserted trenches. At first it
occurred 10 them that there must haze
been children in the firing line.
Some were used for frewood 10 cook
the camp messes that night, but sew
eral We're saved. Inquiry among the
Spaniards developed the fact that il
has long been the customed of the
Filipinos to make up the deficit in fire
arms by supplying wooden guns to
men who appear in ranks and do what
they can by their appearance to fright
en- the enemy by showing Of numbers,
writes correspondent. Sometimes
the toy guns are fitted with a strip OF
bamboo, one end of which is lifted
clear from the gun stock and dropped,
making popping noise like the hit
ting of a Mauser bullet. The plucky
insurrectos crawled through the grass
toward the Spanish lines during the
night, and, after shielding themselves
from harm, made the popping sounds
which made the Spaniards believe
they were being attacked.
1t is a peculiar fact that scarcely any
of the dead insurgents picked up by the
Americans had their firearms with
them. 1t is likely that the men with
wooden guns watched their opportuni-
ty to seize the guns Of fallen comrades,
and thus won their way into the fight
ing ranks tits rs pofsed :hat u couple
of wooden cannon were found mount
ed near the trenches deserted at Caloo-
can.

Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt's Presents.

Some foolish and light-minded indi-
vidual, writing in the Chicago News,
affirms that while the bridal gifts to
Mr.. and Mrs. William X Vanderbilt,
as the printed invoice shows, are many
and presumably pretty, they seem to be
lacking in many important items, par
tieulsrly If the young couple intend TO
go to housekeeping.
The list abounds with jewels, gold
dishes, toilet sets and several hand
some carts and traps" but there are
none of those articles which a young
husband and wife look for. There
was no plush album with a picture Of
the giver; no half dozen cane seat
dining chairs; no cook stove; no order
for so worth Of groceries; no slippers
for the groom nor crazy quilt for the
bride.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt move
into their little flat they will miss these
articles for they go long way toward
making young couple feel at home.
"Weleome" worked in yellow worsted
and hung in the fcont room is not so
costly As 'twenty-fOur gold dishes"
but il means lot more to the person
who made it.
But by saving little each week Mr..
Vanderbilt can add to his house fur
nishings. 1t is not necessary to get
everything at once. If Mrs. Vanderbilt
does her own work, which she proba-
bly, will do, the money thus saved can
be put by for rainy day. AS we are
informed, Mr.. Vanderbilt will have
only 81 900 day until next fall, after
which be will do better. Until then
he should live economically, for il is a
bad thing for young couple to run in
debt.
1t will be happy home, anyway.
We can see the young wife putting up
Willie's dinner in a golden dinner pail
and watching him hurry away to toll
for the sOuliess New York Central. At
eventide the two will sit down to
frugal supper of terrapin, eanvasbaek
duck, etc, after which they will hang
the pictures, put down the carpet in
the back bedroom and change the sofa
to the other corner. Then Mrs. V. will
place the milk pail with a pint ticket
in il on the back porch, wind the clock,
put out the cat and the little flat will
be wrspt in slumber.

A C celebrated Mule.

"It is mighty difficult" /" said an old
fashioned sergeant, "tO keep the ae-
counts of an army post exactly straight,
particularly those of the western posts.
Hundreds Of things are bound to turn

rate accounting for each particular ar

small it was or how quickly it was put

Sometimes there was an opportune In

raid answered equally well for clear

about it-it was simply handy way
of getting around prepOsterOus piece
of red tape; aud that reminds me, by
the way, of comical little story.
"In 1878 Lieutenant Wheeler was
sent down to New Mexico to make a
geological survey, and when he came
back to his post reported among details
that one of his pack mules had tum-
bled over precipiee in the mountains.
There had been no fire OF raid for long
time, and the entry, lost on mule fall

came frequent on the quartermaster's ;
books. Later on the regular report
went in aud came back duly approved,
