Vizcaya was coming alongside. A
guard was paraded, and preparations

honors due his rank. AS the boat

Captain Eulate was wounded, and
chair was slung and lowered for his
accommodation. AS the boat lay at

was a foot of water in her bottom,
and in this rolled two dead men, ter
ribly torn to pieces by fragments of
shells; the water was red with their
blood. In the stern-sheets sat Cap
tain Eulate, supported by one OF our
naval cadets; and about his feet lay
five or six wounded Spanish sailors
AS the unfortunate captain was raised
over the side, and the chair on which
he sat placed on the quarterback,

ready on board stood at attention.

out into ringing cheers. Taking the

wounds. He was evidently man Of
great feeling, impulsive, and devoted
to his profession. That he loved the
ship he had lately commanded, and
felt keenly his defeat, no one who saw
him could doubt. His distress was
most touching. AS we reached the
head of the cabin ladder he turned to-
ward his ship, and, stretching up his
right hand, exclaimed, Adios, Viz

ADVANTAGES OF MOCCASINs.

The moccasin is the most rational
and comfortable of all footwear. In
moccasins the feet have full play; they
can bend and grasp; there is nothing
to chafe them or to impede circula-
ton. In moccasins one can move like
an acrobat, crossing slender and Slip
perry logs, climbing trees. or passing
with ease and security along dizzy
trails on the mountain-side where
slip might mean sure destruction. The
feet do not stick fast in mud. In the
north, when the mercury is far below
zero and no civilized boot will pro-
tect the feet from freezing, the savage
suffers no inconvenience. His moe
casins, stuffd with dried grass, let the
blood course freely. The perspiration
may freeze on the hay in a solid lump
Of ice, but the feet remain warm and
dry. The buckskin moccasin, Indian
tanned with deers' brains and wood
smoke, always dries soft after wet
ting In autumn, when all the leaves
and twigs are dry as finder, a man
wearing shoes makes a noise in the
forest like troop OF cavalry; but in
moccasins he can move swiftly through
the woods with the stealth of pan
Their. The feet are not bruised, for,
after enjoying for time the freedom
of natural covering, these hitherto
laundering members become like hands
and feel their way through the dark
like those of cat, avoiding obstacles
as though gifted with special sense.
Best of all, the moccasin is light. In
experienced sportsmen and soldiers af-
feet high-topped laced boots with
heavy soles and hobnails, imagining
that these are most serviceable for
rough wear. But these boots weigh
between four and five pounds, while
a pair of thick moose-hide moccasins
weigh only eleven ounces. In march
ing ten miles, man wearing the clum-
sy boots lifts twenty tons more shoe
leather than if he wore moccasins.-

THE CHILDREN OF PORTO RICO.

Children are an ever-present and
abundant factor in the domestic econ
omy of the peasants life 1t is called
domestic economy, since it costs moth
ing to supply the air of day for the
lungs of these little waits; it costs
nothing for their clothes, for they run
about in the sunshine and the rain just
as God made them, and sleep in odu
corners without cover for the first half
dozen years of their baby lives, and
when older a single discarded tattereu
garment adds to their natural grace
the shield of decency. So they !.
without expense, and with little ten
derness bestowed on them in the shape
of material comforts, though the moth
er's kiss is often given and the father
pats the little head. They soon tod
die, at the command of the mother, to
do small errands, to help weed the
garden, to bring in the handful of wood
for the fire, to dig the tubers for a
merger meal, and, lastly, to hold up
their tiny hands and with pleading
eyes gain n copper from the passer-by
on the roadside. They are a good in
vestment to the family; the majority
of them die at an early age, and it
costs but few strained hours to the
mothers heart, bit of cloth for a
shroud, and the energy needed to car
ry the tiny form to the potter's field.
Ohsetting this is the usefulness Of
those who, by the laws of survival of
the fittest, pull through with sturdy
forms, to pick berries. work in the cane
and tobacco fields, and add to the COM
mon fund, until. at a varying age, they
rebel against the paternal banker and
live for themselves in poverty and in
bondage to the landed kings, just as
the generations who came before them.
