THE SHORT MAN FOR WAR.

'NThe medical and surgical history of the Spanish war, when it is fully writoen,' observed an army surgeon to a Star reporter, will again demon strate the experience of other wars that the medium sized man makes tfe best soldier; that is, the soldier who is best suited for the hardships of . cam Paign. The tall, long j0ini-d man proved to be the worst soldier, for he played out ling before even the short, slim man. The medium sized man by this l mean in height and weight as well-wno was short coupled. w0r=' better, taking all things into consider aSion, than all others What are known as big men, heavy weights, as well as extremely large in every other way, proved to be, as in the civil war,

the poorest soldiers. They were the men who first needed the attention of the surgeons and began to fall with diseases. almost before they got fairly into the campaign.
 f'AnctheT thing was pretty well pro- ven, I think, and that was that city raised men made better soldiers than country raised men, though the latter were better workers, as far as hard work. manual labor was concerned. Contrary to my previously formed opinion on this subject, light haired men proved to be less susceptible to camp dfseases. Heavy meat eaters did net stand it as well as those w-:3. ate of meat sparingly, leaving out of consideration all questions as to whether the meat was good or bal There is no doubt in my Opint-1 that pork meat is not proper food fer sol dieIs in a campaign, it matters not in what form it is furnished or in what manner it is cooked The soldiers who sickened themselves in the early part of the war. when the men were con gregated about in large camps, by in discriminate eating of pies, cakes, ice cream and the like, were as a rule country raised mn, who seemed ready to eat at all times, and who displayed no sense or 6iscrstion whatever as to what or hcw often they ate.
 ''The city raised men offended in this respect much less than therr coun- try raised associates. In previous campaigns it was proven that black Faired men were the stronger. but in the Spanish war the scales tipped in favor Of blondes. red haired men standing the climates exceedingly well.

A COPPER EXPERTS VIEW.

A COPPER EXPERTS VIEW.
 Captain w. E. Parnall, well known as the superintendent of some of the largest producing copper mines in the world, arrived in Gt-l0e last Thursday, accompanied by his wife and daughter, for the purpose of being present at the marriage of Superintendent s. A. Par nall, his son, to Miss Laurietta H. CoomIbs, which took p,aCe this morn ing. This is the first visit CT Captaln Parnall 10 this territory and except TOT the fact that his presence is constant ly required in the conduct of the im- nense properties of which he is the cx- ecUtive head he would remain long enough to make an extended examina ticn of our mineral resources.
 Every one knows of the famous Tamarack copper mine, which is the largest of the group consisting of the Tamarack, Kearsarg1 and T2maTack, Jr., comprising the Osceola Consoli- dated, ths Grand Portage, Isle Royal, Huron end Miners, being known as the Isle Royal Consolidated. Without mentioning the miles of crosscutting and drifting. the Tanarack workings have reached the enormous depth Of 4.600 feet, the shaft being in ore and indicating that at a depth of about G.000 feet the main body will be en- counteTed. A fact not generally known is that in connection with these mines are extensive plants for the m2ndfac- ture of copper wire and rolled copper plates, greatly increasing the value of ores which run so per cent ant! be- cause Of their richness may almost Ee said to convert 9 shelter into a simple nelter.
 In speaking cf the copper situation Captain Pa-nall expressed his belief in the permanency of the present price, subject to a slight depreciation which he was confident would never reach the low price of year ago. His mines are worked to their full capacity ard are not able to keep up with the demand. He emphaticaliy stated that the present copper valuei was regulated by the economic law Of supply and de- mand and was not due to the workings Of any trust or combination Of trusts.
 Perhaps 10 better judge of the cop per situation could be founl1 than this Michigan expert, whose whole life has been devoted to the business, and it is of more than passing interest that he should say copper men all CFer the United States ara looking to Arizona as natures reserve store of this metal It confirms the judgment of those pioneers whc with untiring energy have worked their discoveries, as well as those who in more recent years have had wisdom enough to invest their capitaI.-G1cbe Silver Pelt

BALLET.
[For The Echo by Julien Gordon.l

6vER her head and under her breast,
W Close to her face in bird-like poses,
The ballet-master twisted and turned
The great gay bunch of crimson roses,
Darling and twisting, wreathing, writhing,
Hitler and thither in rhythmic grace
Shy pirouette and airy motion,
She all but clasped them to her embrace
Her eyes cleaned black in fitful shadow,
Her mouth grew dry like a flower in frost,
Flying feet in their pink encasement
Shot like twin blossoms wind has tost.
The music Huttered faint, and trembled,
The women famed in the dim parterre,
Weary royalty leaned above them
Across the loge where the footlights were.
The men were charmed her force and FRESHNESS
Evnced the strength of her gymnast skill
The ladies clapped in envious pity
The colder hands of languid will.
child cried out in the stalls above,
And stretched its hand for the bright bouquet
She heard and smiled: then with patient art
Began once more her "chasse croise."
At last at last! with mad endeavor,
One restless toss of her arms in air:
At last! at lastl she clutched the treasure,
And held it high on her dusky hair.
But as she laughed, while clamor cheered her
Its bravas ringing their praise to tell,
l saw her fingers had crushed the flowers,
And on their petals-the curtain fell

From across seas comes the cOntribu-
ton "Ballet" to THE ECHO, from the
pen of cullen Gordon" that phenom-
email product of the forcing-house sys-
TEN of ultra-elegant and fashionable
New York society. When "a Diplo-
mats Diary" was given to the reading
public some ten years ago, quickly fol-
lowed by ga Successful Man," both
bearing the keen touch of an analytical
mind, and full of virility and the
stronger literary forces, the masculine
synonym was not questioned. But later
it became known that cullen Gordon"
is in reality Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cru
ger, one of the most elegant "Mon-
DANES" in exclusive New York society.
Her writings are full of her own orig
inal and brilliant personality. That
this beautiful and popular woman
should continue in the work she has
chosen, despite social temptations and
heavy obligations to the set that are
such exacting creditors, invests her
with an even deeper interest. We can
testify that on more than one occasion
Mrs. Cruger has been guilty of the
truest, undeserved courtesy toward a
stranger. Her sympathy with women
in their ambitious labors seems unfail-
ing. She is great-niece of Washing
ton Irving.

THE FORGET-ME-NOT.


Selected
NNE morning when the earth was new,
~ And rainbow-tinted lay the dew,
The Father came.
Upon His waiting flowers He cast
gentle glance, and, as He passed,
Gave each a name.
The twilight deepening, as before
He walked among His flowers once more
And asked each one
What name, apart from all the rest
He gave, its faithfulness to test,
When day begun
The aster, columbine and rose
All answered-every flower that grows
In fed or wood
Save one wee blossom from whose eyes
Shone back the color of the skies,
That silent stood.
The flowers were still; Il love thee SOP
She said; then, trembling, whispered low,
Yet "forgotl"
Dear child, thy name thou may'st forget
And be forgiven-only yet
Forget ME not"

A Precious R@1ico

Al Precious R@1iCo
The most precious relic in all Eng
land, and to the English in all Europe,
is an old Gothic chair which stands in
the Chapel of ST. Edward, in Westmin-
ster Abbey, beside the sword and shield
of Edward III. 1t is made of black oak,
in the Goth style, and the back is COW
cred with carved inscriptions, includ ing
the initials of many famous men. 1.-THE
feet are four lions that look like poodle
dogs with their tails curled up over
their backs. The seat is a large stone,
about thirty inches long by eighteen
wide and twelve inches thick, and all
the sovereigns of England for the last
eight hundred years have sat upon it
when they were crowned. The chair is
known as the Coronation Chair, and the
stone is claimed to be the same which

ing and descending ladder thatreached
to heaven, and Jehovah came to him
and made the great promise which is
being fulfilled to the Jews this very
day. And Jacob took the stone and set
it up for pillar, and poured oil upon it,
and vowed vow, and called the name
of the place Bethel.
The kings of Israel were crowned
upon this stone from the time that they
ruled a nation, David and Saul and Sol
ONION, and all the rest.
The story goes that $50 years before
Christ, at the time of the Babyloniar
captivity, Circa, daughter of Zedekiah
the last King of Judea, arrived in Ire
land and was married at Tara to Here
mon, prince of the Tuatha de Danar
which is said to be the Celtic name O
the tribe of Dan. The traditions relate
that this princess went originally t,
Egypt in charge of the prophet Jere
miah, her guardian, and the palace
Taphanes, in which they resided there
was discovered in 1856 by DR.. Petrie
the archaologist. After some year
they went hence to Ireland, and from
Circa and Heremon Queen Victori'
traces her descent, through James |
who placed the lion of the tribe of Ju

inal applicant was not sent for and
created professor, despite the fact that
financial considerations still precluded
that possibility.
The University has lived; the num-
Der of female students increases year
by year, and the result shows that the
good wOmen-whO have assumed, so
zealously, ''woman's work for women
simply slammed the door in their
own faces and shut themselves out Of
an opportunity to organize from earn
est, eager students the best practically
educated young women in the State-a
little army well equipped, that would
simply have become invincible in
'wOman's work for women" reaching,
in the next decade, every county in the
state: all united for one common pur-
pose. imbued with one common ideal
and cemented together by the common
bond of alumna, all of them daughters
of Ossoli giving to their foster mother
the brightest and best educated young
women from Carter to Shelby. But
the committee was dominated by
motive power that has been set forth in
Scripture as fatal to any cause-''a zeal
that was not according to knowledge"
The majority of these good women
meant well; lack of experience in the
administration of public trust led
them astray. Men have been accus-
toned from time immemorial to the
presence, in every community, of that
class of individuals who will kick out
of the harness unless allowed to do the
| driving; men of the "rule or ruin"
type. These ladies had not learned
that such an individual schemer could
exist within the narrow limits of their
own confidential circle. Thus the bit
ter pill of individual discontinue and
personal revenge was heavily sugar
coated with the specious plea OF dis
courtesy to women, adroitly chlorol
formed down the throats of the COM
mittee and they, dear creatures, do
not realize to this good day the actua-
fact that lay at the bottom of their
resignation do not suspect that they
were "hoo-dooed' by one of their own
number. They will learn. They sim

good of the charge with which they
are entrusted cannot however much
personal feeling and sympathy may be
enlisted turn aside to the pleas of
charity, the demands of individual am
bition or greed, or the recognition of
public clamor. Duty, and not senti-
ment, must control their Judgment.
Another reason for lack of interest in
the University is the social close-com-
munion-high teas, fashionable recep-
tions, full dress germans-all strictly
on the scale of set" 'clique" and ''co-
terie," as relentless and immutable as
the caste customs of India, as hollow
and hypocritical as the pretenses of the
Pharisees, admitting of no entry on the
part of University students who do not
come prepared for dress parades in the
social whirl. There is no social life in
the town that is either genial or con-
genial. All stilted, strained con-
glomerate mass of struggling, aspir-
ing, envious, suspicious, conflicting ele-
ments, flung together by the conscrip-
tive force of a disordered appetite for
excitement and social prestige.
1t is sad fact that the so-called
social entertainments of the day, in
stead of being occasions of sincere,
honest, unadulterated hospitality, where

One might easily gather up all the
true, social, hospitable courtesy-that
courtesy which comes from genuine
good breeding, has no axe to grind, no
personal end to accomplish, no individ-
ual vanity to foster-one could easily
gather up all of that old-fashioned, gen.
