Two viscaya Buttons.

A war correspondent returning from
the front brought as souvenir to one
Of his friends button found in the
captains cabin of the wrecked Viscaya.
II was a black and ruined thing, the
royal arms of Spain hardly distin-
guishable through the crust Of cor
rosion which flame and flood had
spread upon its once shining surface.
Impressive as a relic Of Pompeii it
spoke Of ruin as fearful. The recipient
bore it about with him wherever he
went. proud to display it, this elo-
quent trophy of our splendid victory
the battle Of July 3.
Calling one evening on Spanish
girl of his acquaintance, he produced
it. Then the senorfta looked at 1t for
a moment, then rose and left the room.
Returning shortly she, too, displayed
souvenir, bright and shining but
ton with the royal arms Of Spain.

The Chinese a. modern soldiers.

Having succeeded in making good
soldiers of the Sikhs and Goorkhas Of
India, the fellaheen Of the Nile and
the negroes OF the West Indies and
the Cape, Great Britain is going to
try her educational system on the
Chinese. A battalion of 1000 natives
OF Shantung are soon to be enrolled
under British officers at Wei-hai-wei
In the length and breadth OF China
there could be no more unpromising
material. for the Wei-hai-wei Chinese
are the ones that led the fiinching be-
fore the invading Japanese in the win
ter OF 1S94-95; so, if the British officers
succeed with them, they may safely
count upon the soldierly qualities of
the race.
That such qualities exist was long
ago asserted by Gen. Gordon, and was
even recognized by Japan in the late
war. Gordon's "ever-victorious army"
as the corps with which he suppressed
the Taf-Ping rebellion was called, con-
tanned men of indubitable courage and
zeal. So, indeed, did the hordes of
fTai-Ping. In the contest with Japan
the Chinese in the Far North held
their own calamity, keeping Moukden
from capture by Marshal Yamagata's
army, while Admiral Ting's sailors
made drawn battle OF the Yalu. For
eign observers, who saw them at their
best in 1Ss4-95. as well as during the
GTai-Ping war, concluded, as Mr.. Mach
ell of the British army recently put It.
that they are not at all a cowardIy
people when properly paid and eff
ciently led; while the regularity and
order of their habits, which DISPOSE
them to peace in ordinary times, give
place to daring bordering upon reck-
lessness in time of war. Their in
telligence and capacity for remember
ing facts make them well fitted for
use In modern warfare, as do also the
reooiness and calmness of their DISPOSE

as Europeans, but considerably more
so than most OF the other races of the
east; and on cheap diet of rice, vege-
tables, salt fish and pork they can go

tropical one, where Europeans are i'll

few; they have no caste prejudices, and
hardly any appetite for intoxicating
liquors.

Chinese Home Going.

One Of the interesting features of the
life of the Chinese in America is their
annual custom or going back to spend
the holidays. Hardly Chinaman who
is able to make the trip but is now
packing up his belongings and prepar-
ing for the long journey across sea to
homeland. Each. celestial, before be-
ing permitted to leave the country,
must get Identification papers from the
collector Of the port in the district
where he resides. At the port he is
measured, his measurements and per-
sonal appearance being recorded on the
collectors books kept for the purpose.
Then the Chinaman is given passport
to which is attached his photograph.
Each Chinaman leaving the country
temporarily must have interests In this
country valued at not less than $1,000
in order to entitle him to return.

How gushed the life blood of her
Gushed warm with hope and courage

Upon the soil they sought to save.

And talk of children on the hill,
And bell Of wandering kline, are

seasoing Cat. of War.


When Maiden. Merritt sailed from
San Francisco he asked the govern
Inent authorities for three cats to take
to Manila. Probably the trio of Amer
lean felines are now teaching Yankee
habits to their misguided. fellows of the
islands, for ii was Maj.-Gen. Merritt's
intention to'send them ashore when he
landed. The cats came from the COM
missary depot in San Francisco, and
their progenitor may be seen there any
day busted among the barrels and
boxes or doing lazily in some snug
corner.
1T is not generally known that the
government spends several thousand
dollars annually for the maintenance Of
cats. but the accounts of the United
States depot commissaries prove it. In
every storehouse there are from one to
hve OF the animals, and their rations
are provided Is carefully and regularly
as those Of any Of the gallant soldiers.
( They are not fed on scraps, as are
those of the enlisted men, but they are
allotted so many pounds of choice beef
or any other delieacy their palates may
desire. OF, course, they may have as
much game as as they wish, and the
storehouses seldom fail to furnish an
unlimited supply Of rats and MICE
That the cats save many times their
cost OF support is we'll known, as such
supplies as crackers, cheese. bacon,
-four and meal are much sought after
by the rodents.
That the army cats IN San Francisco
are we'll trained may be judged from
the fact that while New York quotes 6
cents per day per cat as the price of
cat meat, Col. Baldwin, depot commits
sioner here, finds Z cents as low as he
can get the proper beef for the felincs,
which protect his stores.
