HOW HE WAS TRAINED.

From the time of the destruction OF
the Maine, in the harbor of Havana, on
February 10, our naval force I'm south
ern waters had been placed partially
upon war footing. 1t was not by any
means that war was considered inevit-
able. ON the contrary. ia was Thought
that cV9n should the Court OF Inquiry
decide that the Maine had been trcach-
crously destroyed. Spain would meet all
reasonable demands. but the state of
preparation was "A state of security de-
manded by military prudence, and
also was valuable TO non and officers
as a discipline and exercise The men
had already been well trained at the
guns-Well instructed in their mechan-
ism and manuals-the principal bust

of peace; but to this training was added

bre fire--a form OF exercise which Is
much approved. and for which all bat

THE BEST MAN.

Under the title When "a Maids Mar
ried" Frederick Boyd Stevenson in the
January Woman's Home Companion
traces the origin of some OF our mar
riage customs back To the days Of
primitive man.
while we smile at the wife-stealing
propensity of the savage or half savage
nations, we cherish as our dearest
form a custom that had its direct
origin i'm this very self same practice.
The best man., who plays so impor
tant a part in well regulated marriages
that nowadays have any pretence at
all TO the fashionable, once on "a time
i'm Sweden occupied "A position that was
useful as well as ornamental. In the
old days the Swedish groom found IL
desirable, i'm fact, 10 have several best
men TO defend him from the assaults
of rivals and prevent them from car

Wan warrior of ancient times was far
too lofty in his ideas to cOndeScend t.

tiently waited until some other man
who was more gallant had obtained tho
fair ones consent. Then when all the
details had been nicely arranged, the
proud warrior. with body of well
trained retainers. dashed down on the
wedding party, and IL strong enough
carried away the bride. The best men

should be the best men in those days.,

WE EAT TOO nUCH.

"Of the many cures i'm vogue and rec
ognized from their records as worthy
the name, nine-tenths Of them depend
upon reducing the diet for their ef-
fectivencss.' is the position taken by
Ella Morris Kretschmar writing on
"The Subject og Diet" in the January
WOman's Home Companion.
"A widespread fad during the last
few years has been the no breakfast
cure and thousands of dyspeptics have
gained health, the stout have grown
thin and the thin have grown stout
all through lifting the burden from
overtaXed digcstions. An equally pop
ular cure preceding this was the leav
ing off OF the evening meal-equally
effective. OF course. just as no mid
day meal cure would be if IL should be
promulgated.
"One of the most splendid cures, for
all ills. in Europe is the grape cure,
practiced in Germany. and IL Is said
that any one taking the treatment
drops off the wear and tear OF five

wished to sell her some note paper She
declined his offer whereupon the man
pushed her aside and enterd the house.
She screamed for help and ran To the
house of j. n. Gladding, just across the

police were being called the man made
his escape and no trace of him was
found. Mr.. Goodwin's family was away
