THE TROOPS IN CUBA,
Not Enough to Warrant Continuation
of Two Departments.


of Two Departments.
Gen. Corbin stated today that a part of
the plan for the withdrawal of the Amer
lean forces from Cuba was now under con-
sideration in placing all the troops in that
Island directly under the command of Gen.
Wood and abolishing the departments of
east and west Cuba. heretofore under the
command of Gen. James H. Wilson and
Fitzhugh Lee.
1t was stated that there is not a sufficient
number of troops in Cuba at the present
time to warrant the continuation of a d.
vision and two departments. 1t Is not yet
determined whether not the withdrawal
of troops shall take place prior to the con-
clusion Of the constitutional convention,
which will assemble early in November, as
congressional action may be asked before
any such definite step is taken.
General Woods appearance here at this
time, while known to be for the purpose of
taking his family to Cuba. is made the oc-
casion Of general discussion of Cuban
affairs. General Woods friends expect that
he will receive the appointment Of briga-
der general in the regular army. made
vacant by the retirement of General
Wheeler.

Had to See 1t.
From the Youths Companion.

An eccentric clergyman In Cornwall was
much annoyed by the habit which some
members of his congregation had Of looking
around to see late corners. After enduring
1t for some time he said, on entering the
reading desk one day:
Brethren, 1 regret to see that your at
tention Is called away from your religious
duties by your natural desire to see who
comes in behind you. 1 propose henceforth
to save you the trouble by naming each
person who comes in late"
He then began: Dearly beloved" but
paused half way to interpolate, Mr.. g.,
with his wife and daughter"
Mr.. s. looked greatly surprised, but the
minister with perfect gravity resumed.
Presently he again paused: Mr. c. and
William D."
The abashed congregation kept their eyes
fixed on their books The service proceeded
in the most orderly manner, the parson in
terruptins himself every now and then to
announce some late conner. At last he said,
still with the same perfect gravity:
Mrs. 8. In a new bonnet"
In a moment every feminine head in the
congregattO was turned.

THE YOUNG SOUTHERNERS.

Sound advice to young South
erners was given by Prof. Francis
H. Smith of the University of Vlr-
ginia to the last graduating class
of the Virginia Military Institute.
He traced to the early South the
things which are best in the South
of today, dwelt upon the outlook
for youth generally, and coming
down to his own people, said:
II would impress on the young
men of the South that we live in
choicest of all centuries and in the
choicest of all the lands of this
century. America is the best
country in the world, and the
South is the best part of America
for a young man. Our favored
land has no titled aristocracy to
pre-empt the best places, no grooves
of custom to direct and confine it's
energies. In our own happy Sec
ton the same industry and talent
are more quickly and more gener-
ously rewarded than in the more
crowded and 'hustling' commune
ties of the North and West. [
have often thought that half the
push and effort necessarily put
forth by the young Southerner who
settles in the West, with slow re-
turns often for his toll, would
have made HIM a rich man in his
native state. Young man, go not
North (that may be excusable in
a young married couple on their
bridal tour; go not West-that
advice was meant for New England
boys. Stay where you are, and
begin life with the capital of good
will left you by your parents and
the heritage of their honored

Alvord, the defaulting note tel
Ter of the First National Bank of
New York, is a consclenceless
thief. He expressed no regret, nc
repentance, for having stolen
nearly three-quarters of million
dollars. His comment when ar
rested was, that having taken life
to it's full extent, at the rate OF
$50, 900 year, he was willing tc
throw up his hands and take his
sentence. 1t appears that under
the law he cannot be sent to pris.
on for a very long term. He
probably regards the imprison.
ment he will undergo as CHEAP
compensation for what he has en-.
joyed. His wife and children
meanwhile, must all their lives
remain under the stigma of his
crime. Men of his class care
nothing for the shame they pur
upon women and children.

ON HIS WOODEN LEG.

Mr.. j. F. Pittman, who resides
in East Albany and who conducts
a farm few miles north of that
city, is indebted to his wooden leg
for his life. Several days ago Mr..
Pittman was at work in his field
and he stepped too near huge
rattlesnake which instantly struck
the leg nearest him. Mr.. Pittman
happened to have his gun on his
wagon q short distance away, and
he called to some field hand to
bring it to him. With this weap-
III he killed the RATHER which was
over seven feet long. The huge
snake had nineteen rattles and the
usual button and Mr.. Pittman de-
scribes it as having been cold and
rusty" The snakes agility was
remarkable, however, as he struck
Mr.. Pittman's wooden leg twice
before he realized his danger and
stepped back. Mr.. Pittman'e
friends are congratulating him fol
the first time since the war on
having q wooden leg.-Sparta

days, the miners of the anthracite
coal region have won their point
and returned to work. The sum
the men lost in wages because of
the strike has been estimated at

that they have won what amounts
to an increase in pay of 81 100000

The bedroom is often neglected, es-
pecially in winter, yet next to the
kitchen it is the most important room
In the house, for a large part OF ones
life is passed there. The bed should
first have all the coverings stripped
off onto two chairs set at the foot. The
mattress should be doubled so the air
may get to all parts. With the win
dows open the room should be left for
an hour at least, except in severe
weather. Each piece of bedclothlng
should be we'll shaken before it is re-
turned to the bed, and the pillows beat
en- and patted into shape. The white
spread, which should have been re-
moved and folded when the bed was
prepared for use the night before is now
fresh and smooth. If pillow shams
are not used the creased slips may be
exchanged for fresh day cases mt the
former laid aside for evening use
again. The bed is not all that needs
close care in the sleeping room. The
busting Is far more important than
most people suspect. The fluff n
lust that accumulate everywhere are
favorite resting places for disease
germs, and for this reason the bits of
pretty drapery, the bric-a-brac and all
other ornaments are not to be com
mended in a bed chamber. Every
piece of furniture should be carefully
wiped off each day with a soft cloth,
which should be shaken out the win
dow. Once a week the should
receive a thorough sweeping, when
every article should be moved and no
nook or corner left unbrushed. The
receptacles for waste water should be
washed and scalded every day in sum-
per; also summing when possible. The
wash clothes, too. should be washed
and scalded to keep them from sour
ing. Soiled clothes should never be
left in a sleeping room; they will so
soon contaminate the atmosphere.
Shoes and other articles of apparel will
soon gather dust and look very untidy.
When these precautions have been
closely followed there will never be
found in a bedroom the close, unpleas,
ant odor so often noticed even in hand,
some but stuffy sleeping rooms. These
malodors are not only disagreeable bu
positively unhealthy, especially foI
delicate persons and children. Thu
palmer and simpler the furnishing thu
easier 1t is to keep in order.

WRESTEERS.
Their Physical Development in the Light
of Some Statistics,

AAohA u hychN"t ia S"o
of Some Statistics.
Although the American is willing to
concede to the Japanese the possession
of a mental activity almost, if not
quite, equaling that of the majority OF
white races, he is apt to form a some
what sighting opinion of him as
viewed from a physical standpoint.
The specimens met with in this coun-
try do not convey a favorable i'm
preston of their athletic powers.
After, however, reading an account Of
the physical measurements of some OF
the most prominent japanese wres-
tiers, a more respectful attitude re-
garding the muscular development of
these little men will probably be taken.
The Jill Shimpo has recently published
a table giving the measurements of six
of the foremost Japanese fighters,
From this table 1t is gathered that the
most bulky of these modern gladiators
weighs, at the age of % years, about
800 pounds; height, 5A feet; girth Of
chest, So inches; lung capacity, ALSO
cubic centimeters; upper arm, Is
inches. Another n weighs over $50
pounds; height, 6 feet 8 inches; girth
of chest, 4S inches; lung capacity,
| 5000 cubic centimeters; upper arm, 16
| inches. The smallest of these fighting
men weighs more than 200 pounds,
measures in height 5 feet 7 inches,
while in lung capacity he exceeds them
all. There are few wrestlers or pugi-
lists in this or any other country who
attain to these dimensions, and those
who have seen some of the best ex-
ponents of Japanese wrestling are
willing to back them when pitted
against the pick Of the European or
American experts, as it is said that
they are as skillful as they are power

The SchOoIbOy's Postscript,

When DR.. Temple (now Archbishop
of Canterbury was the headmaster Of
Rugby, a boy came up before him for
some breach of discipline, and the facts
seemed so against the lad that he was
in imminent danger of being expelled.
He had a defence, but being neither
clear headed nor fluent in the presence
Of the head-master, he could not make
it clear. He therefore wrote home to
his father, detailing at length his po-
sisition and his explanation. His father
very wisely thought the best thing he
could do was to send the boys letter
as it stood to DR.. Temple, merely ask
ing him to overlook any familiarity of
expression. Apparently the father had
not turned over the page and seen his
sons postscript, for there DR.. Temple
found the following words: IF I could
explain it would be all right, for
though Temple is a beast, he is a just
beast" The bishop, in telling this
story, is accustomed to say that it was
one of the greatest compliments he has
ever received in his life.

She inclined her head.

And this time Catherine started back

ideas was more than she could COM
prehend just at once.

tie gray-eyed cousin, the lawyers have
told me how willing you were to adopt
and care for the homeless orphan, and
how my Cousin Millicent shrank from
the task. And from the bottom OF

giggled behind her bonnet frames

gentleman as hat will go to the ho-

not. He stayed at the cottage, sleep,
ing on the back parlor sofa until other
accommodations could be provided fol
him. And when Millicent came over
with her prettiest smile and out
stretched hand the young Australian
received her with an odd, curt cold
ness that made her feel excessively un-
comfortable.
"You see, Cousin Milly,' said he
you didn't want to be bothered witt

In the current number of the Geo.
graphical Journal DR.. Moreno gives an
account of Patagonia, which is a por-
ton of that vast area in South Amer
lea still unknown to geography, and
interesting because of the rich prod
ucts, which it probably contains, and
its charming landscapes. 1t seems that
Patagonia does not merit the bad repu-
tation as regards scenery which it has
had since Darwin and Fitzroy received
a disagreeable impression from the
portion they explored. The plateaus
of Arizona find their analogy in the
table lands of Patagonia, and the pic
turesque fjords and white mountains of
Alaska seem to be a copy of the fjords
and mountains of Patagonia" The
analogy might be pushed even further,
for it seems there is a strange similar
ity between the ancient customs and
industries Of the Alaskan and Pata-
gonian Indians.
