Wrecking and the Inquiry" arc the
special subjects Of this concluding
paper. The captains personal rela-
tons with General Blanc0 and Admiral
Manterola were, he says, undisturbed
by the explosion. They remained "cor-
dial to the last" Soon after the catAs-
trOphe the admiral called upon Cap-
tain Sigshee and conversation Oc-
CURED which Is tersely summarized In
these words:
THE admiral assumed from the frst
that the explosion was from the In
terror OF the vessel. He asked II the
dynamo boilers had not exploded.
told him We had no dynamo boilers.
He said that the plans OF the vessel,
as published. showed that the gun
cotton store-rOOm, or magazine. was
forward near the zone Of the explosion.
He was informed that these plans had
been changed. and that the guncotton
was slowed aft. under the captains
cabin. where the vessel was virtually
intact. He pointed out that modern
gunpowders were sometimes very un-
stable. This was met by the remark
that our powder was OF the old and
stable brown prismatic kind. and that
We had no fancy powder. He referred
to the probable presence Of boilers,
lighted, near the forward coalbunkers,
which were adjacent to the magazines.
This again was met with the remark
that for three months no boiler In the
forward boiler compartment had been
lighted; that while In port the two
aftermost boilers In the ship had been
doing service"

Brewing Success In the New Treat

The annual report of the managers Of

that since the opening of the institu-
ton to patients in 1896, 410 epileptics
Rave been received there, % of whom
remain. The colony is a state institu-

board of charities. The managers say
that according to the estimates of their
superintendent, even after the capacity
of the colony is increased to GOO beds.

Of the INDECENT poor 600 more victims

leptics who wish TO secure the admit

and facilities of the colony, and declare
that with the third year of experience

CHANGED TAILS" TABooED.
EngIRnd's Most Powerful Horse SHOW
Associations Win Bar Them
in Future.

The custom of docking" horses tails
has always been considered essentially
an English custom. Time was-and not
long ago--when it was guyed in this
country as such and TO ride or. drive
locked horse was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
bic sign of anglomania in its acute
stages.
Now all is changed, to judge from
the recent action of the two most pow
erful associations interested in horse
shows in the British isles, the Royal
Agricultural society and Hunters I'm
provement society. The following reso-
luton was passed: in 1899 no docked
yearling is eligible for any show held
under the rules of the above societies;
In 1900 no two-year-old which has been
dcclxed shall be shown; in 1901 no three
year-old, and so on"
The purport is, of course, to so order
affairs that after the present crop of
locked horses has died out no horses
that have submitted to the knife will
be eligible for the show ring. The Hack
ney society has not yet coincided with
the action of the other societies, but if
haclxneys are TO be eligible to compete
in shows other than their own their
tails will have to be left unmutilated.
Hence it looks as if the hackney men Of
England will be compelled to wheel into
! line.
OF course there have been vigorous
protests registered The advocates Of
nondocling proclaim the practice wan
ton and useless, as well as productive
&C ugly results and destroying the pro-
portions Of horse. There is little ale
Cation as to cruelty, and that the opera
ton produces little pain when properly
performed can be testified to by anyone
who has seen It done. In countries
where flies are particularly abundant
the loss of the tan is a serious matter,
but in England the flies give horse no
real discomfort, even in the height Of
summer. Anyhow, banged" tails, cut
OF level with the hooks, as is done with
race horses, are of little more use than
locked tails in getting rid of flies.
The fashion will almost surely spread
&c this country if adopted in England.
Indeed, it would necessarily do so from
The constant interchange Of horses that
goes on between the two countries.-N.

To Buy sailors Christmas DIM

An American dentist in Manila, IN a
happy OF unhappy moment, conceived
the idea of providing by public subscrip-
ton grand Christmas dinner for the
United States soldiers garrisoning the
city. in the same manner as paupers
at hOlne are RECALLED with all the good

ST. Louis Post-Dispatoh.
The idea took beyond all expecta-
tions, for when the hat went round the
money flowed in so freely that in a
couple of days over S., 900 was collected.
The soul of the movement waxed en-
thusiastic. And so did the whole Amer
ican community.
Consul WildmAn, in thoughtless mo-
ment, also allowed himself to be caught
by the fever. Committees and subcom-
mittess were then appointed, and prep

tion of the Boys and Girls
Born Every Year.

II has been computed that about
36,OO6OO0 babies are bon into the
world each year, says Woman's Life.
The rate Of production is, therefore,
about 70 per minute, or more than one
for every beat ofth clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is not
everyone who stops to calculate what
this means when il comes to a years
supply. 1t Will, therefore. probably
startle good many persons TO find, on
the authority of a well-known statisti-
clan, that could the infants Of a year
be ranged in a line in cradles, the cra-
dies would extend around the world.
The same writer locks at the matter
in a more picturesque light. He inn
agines tho babies being carried past a
given point in their mothers arms. one
by one, and the procession being kept
up night and day until the last hour
in the twelfth month had passed by.
A sufficiently liberal rate is allowed,
but even in going past at the rate oil
20 a minute, 1920 an hour during the
entire year, the reviewer at his post
would have seen only the sixth part OF
the infantile host
In other words, the babe that had "a

would be able to walk when but a mere
fraction of its comrades had reached
the reviewers post, and when the years

close there would be q rear guard, not

The ideal of the new manager is the
anticipation of every wish aud the
meeting of it with the least display. In
,he best of hotels guest seems to have
no need of giving the slightest thought
for his care or for his comfort. Of
course, he pays for this, and yet en- the
whole the charges are moderate when
il is remembered what he has received
for them. In fact, thoughtfulness has
gone so far that in the largest Of Amer
lean hotels there has recently been es-
tablished a national bank known by
the name Of the hotel. whose business
is almost exclusively devoted to the con-
venience of the guests of the hotel and
those who are connected with it.-E. ]
