From out the smoke and carnage of
the late war, one incident shines like a
star in a cloudy sky. 1t is that of the
military funeral in Santiago last No
vember of the body Of General Vara
del Rey. Four months after the Span
lard had fallen at Ell Caney, fighting
at the head of his men, an aged geu-
eral, Valderrama, arrived from Spain
to beg the body of his former COM
rade. General Wood at once dispatch
ed an officer and company to find the
grave. from which all marks had been
removed by the Cubans. After a long
search the body was identified, and
transferred to-. the handsome coffin
brought from Spain, and escorted to
the vessel by an American band and
battalion. AS the cortege passed the
palace General Wood and staff stood
at attention with bAred heads. Cen
eral Vara del Rey was a brave man"
said the chivalrous victor. "and we
honor his memory" No wonder the
old Valderrama said, in farewell. you
belong to a grand nation. We shall
not forget this day. The saints be

Five Thousand Books Written by Women.

Five Thousand Books Written by women
Miss Louise Baxter, daughter of the
late Judge Nathaniel Baxter of the SUI
preme bench of Tennessee, according
to the st. Louis Republic, is RESPONSE
BILE for a most unique collection of
books at the Tennessee Centennial.
Having Travelled abroad, and being
familiar with the literature of many
countries, Miss Baxter was inspired
with the idea of making a collection
of the writings of women from all cor
ners of the earth for the centennial of
her native state. To do this Miss Bax-
ter wrote seven hundred letters to for
eign governments, many of them in
the language of the countries to which
they were sent.
There are four books written by a
Chinese woman, A. d. 25. They were
sent by the empress of China. The
Chinese woman wrote about the man
ners and customs of women and rec
commended obedience to husbands. The
emperor Of Japan sent 1875 books writ
ten by the women of his realm. There
dIe IWclNe hlOueIu dT6eh DOCKS sent
by Queen Olga.
There are books from Armenia, Per-
STA, Hungary, Roumania, Russia, Ger
many, France, Italy, Austria, Portu-
gal, Spain, England, Ireland, Scotland,
Norway and Sweden. All of tie South
American countries are represented.
Many of these books were the only
country from which they were. sent.
This was the case with the volumes
from Honduras and Guatemala.
Many of them lave been presented to
Miss Baxter by the different govern
ments which responded TO her req Tests.
She will have one of the most vllua-
BILE and unique libraries in the UA!ted
States.

The resolute woman never flinched,
and not a tremor betrayed agitation
or fear. Her husbands head was bow
ed upon his breast in utter prostration
of energy and manhood. 1t was easy
to see the contempt she felt for him,
by the cold sheer upon her face, when,
at the insolent demand of a stout yeo-
man, he handed over his watch with
its massive chain Of gemmed gold. For
herself, she never replied to or obeyed
a single command, and they were
many, addressed to her; SO it was by
brute force that left her throat and
fair arms bruised and wounded, her
remaining jewels were torn from her,
trampled contemptuously under the
feet of their own peasantry, as they
shouted,
Their sparkle was bought by our
hard earnings! the accursed things
robbed u children of bread! away
with them!"
A pair of begrimed hands had seiz-
ed the gold collar upon Count Emile's
coat, when with an oath the count lev
eled a pistol he had hitherto concealed
and fired. The man fell mortally
wounded. 1t was a rash, suicidal act,
but it was like the young counts I'M
go%vernable temper. In an instant arose
a yell of demoniac rage. Count Emile
was seized, his rich clothing shred into
a thousand pieces, and the very silken
sash he wore was knotted around his
throat, while in a moment longer his
lifeless body dangled from the bough
Of the nearest tree. Then for the first
time the fortitude of the countess gave
way, and with one wild cry of a moth
er's intense agony she fell forward
senseless. At the same moment the
crowd, maddened into frenzy, shouted:
Let the others follow; short shrift
for those who have had no pity for
u.s.
Bernard knew from the way Violante
leaned against him, her nerves could
bear no more, yet hell, her he could
not. The dense mass of. human beings
wedged them in like a vice. and the
slightest movement might arouse sls-
picion, whereupon, he felt, while an
icy shudder ran through his heart. in
the present excited tide of rage. there
was not the slightest doubt her s1en-
der, graceful form would swing beside
the lifeless body of him who so brief
a time before had stood with her he
fore the altar, in the bloom OF health
and strength. All he could do was To
shield her so that she could not see
the fierce hands that were crashing
her fathers throat. Suddenly a voice
rang out clear and commanding like
bugle notes in the tumult of battle. A
small, spare man, with huge masses of
raven black hair, tossed away from a
forehead so high and broad it seemed
half of his face, with eagle eyes that
shone luminous with quenchless fire
as the glare of a hundred torches far
ed over him, leaped upon a rostrum,
improvised from a high flower stand,
and waving his hand, cried:

The suggestion to tax grain has been
brought forward in the legislature of
North Dakota, where 1t has been m
bodied In a concurrent resolution for
q constitutional amendment. This pro-
vides that the. legislative assembly
may tax wheat, fax and oats and bar
ley grown In the state and stored in
the elevators or kept for seed at a rate
OF not to exceed half a cent a bushel
on wheat, the same on fax, a third Of
a cent on barley and a quarter of a
cent on oats. At present the grains
grown in the state pay practically no
taxes. The millions of bushels of
wheat grown in the state are threshed
and disposed of between assessments.
The rate of a quarter to half a cent a
bushel, II applied to the millions Of
bushels of the various grains grown in
the state. would, it is said, produce a
ven exceeding $3.50, 900. How the
measure is likely to be received gem
orally, is not yet apparent from the ad-
vices at hand.

SPANS decision to prosecute Ad-

OF the Cristobol Colon for the loss of
the feet of Santiago, savors of the
ethics Of the Middle Ages. On the 9TH

the nineteenth century. When Mar

pressions of kindness and confidence
raised his crushed spirits. In this she
won a commendable victory.

The unjustiflable severity Of a parent

WAR S.

tho Enemy.
Many imagine that it is easy to
shoot down a war balloon. This is not
true. A shot a fired from a Lebel
rifle at a balloon at an altitude of 500
feet. 1t only penetrated the fabric be-
low the equator, and no appreciate
result ensued. After this many shots
were fired, several penetrating the bal
loon and passing out near the upper
valve. After a lapse of six hours the
balloon descended quietly to the ground
by reason of the loss of gas through
the bullet holes. But it appeared that,
whatever the number of shots, the loss
of gas was never sufficient to cause the
balloon to fall rapidly. On another
occasion a shrapnel shell was fired
from a seven-pounder Armstrong gun
at a balloon having an altitude of 1900
feet, but this being above the limit of
elevation of the gun it was impossible
to hit it. In any case, had it been
possible to do so, the shell would have
penetrated the balloon below the
equator and passed out again so low
down as to cause no serious loss of
gas. Once a gore was split up to
within a few feet of the upper valve.
At first the balloon fell rapidly; then
the wind filled out the tapping fabric
and it sailed quietly to the earth.
