the outlook for a change is anything

Flies Carry Typhoid.

Professor Vaughan, an authority on
infectious disease who was surgeon
in the Spanish-American war and was
detailed by the Government to inves-.
tigate the cause Of typhoid fever, has
finished his. report, which contains
8, 1000, 600 words. y
BE declares that the theory OF the
miasmatic origin of the disease is an
error and that it is transmitted from
an infected person to others by COM
mon flies acting as carriers, by per-
sonal contact and by flying dust.
The unsanitary condition OF the
camps is given as the original source
of the fever, and it is asserted that
the commands at Tampa, Palmetto
Beach. Miami and Chickamauga were
unwisely located.
One-ffth of the American soldiers,
according to the report, developed
typhoid fever, but army surgeons cor
rectly diagnosed o little less than one
half the cases.
The percentage of deaths was sew
en- aud one-half while eighty per cent.

r,na,inr Large Military Forces.

Some of the practical difficulties OF
handling large military forces may be
inferred from the following statements
in T. Miller Maguire's Outlines OF
Military Geography"
ga British division on the march
along an ordinary main road without
an advanced guard would be five
miles in length. If the modern Ger
man army were put in motion the
whole military road from the Rhine
to the Russian frontier would be
thickly crowded with soldiers, guns
and transports. If on army corps of
10000 men and 10000 horses rests
for a day or two preparatory to battle
or during siege it eats up all pro-
visions procurable in piece of rich
country nine miles long by five miles
wide"

Dangerous Philippine Natives.

The men to be feared especially in
the Philippines are the bolo men.
These roTe about in small bands,
armed with the deadly bolo knife, and
spring upon their victims from the
bushes or tall grass, making usually
quick work of them. For every man
killed they cut deep mark in their
trusty knife. Already several soldiers
have been assassinated, but in some
instances the soldier supposed to be
unarmed has had his revolver at hand
and has given the bolo man counter
surprise. These men are nothing
more than murderers and must be re-
duced. They will be hard to catch,
but American genius and pluck, Sec
onded by the friendly aid of the peace
full Filipinos, will eventually clear the
country of these outlaws.-New York

pric.a.Brac Umbrella Handles.

Metal is not at all the prevailing
idea for umbrella handles, unless it is
an elegant antique gold or silver han
die taken from an eighteenth century
walking staff OF yerger's wand. To
have an umbrella handle that or
namented one of Sheridan's "Beau
Brummel's" or Charles Fox's walking
sticks is treasure indeed, but if you
can't have fine bit of bric-a-brac for
the purpose, then buy a slim, sleek,
slender silk-covered frame with long
ivory ostrich feather curling out for q
handle, or one. of ebony or teak wood
similarly carved. The handle must be
quite long, aud the feather effect is
quite the newest thing. Another
motif, much admired in ebony, is the
carved head of black poodle, one Of
the kind whose hair grows in long
cords. Two star rubies, or star sap-
phires, limitations of the true stones,
. of course, arc set in the eyes. UnlsS

The Story ofthe Iron Duke.

The late Lord Salisbury was oncs
aid-de.camp to- Wellington, and he told
me. that when the Chartists began their
march he galloped in great anxiety to
the duke at the Horse Guards, and
found him reading the morning paper.
He lifted his head for moment and
said: "How far are they now from the
bridge?" Westminster bridge9l
Lord Salisbury replied: Gone mile
and half, sil' The great duke
said: ''Tell me when they are within
one-quarter of q mile" and he became
absorbed in his paper. The Marquis
OF Salisbury went back to observe.
When the procession reached the ap-
pointed distance he galloped back to,
the Horse Guards and again found the
iron duke quietly reading. "Well"
said the duke. Lord Salisbury re-
ported that the procession was break
ing up, and that only small detatched
bodies of Chartists were crossing the
bridge. exactly what I expected

paper. Biography of Lord Playfair.

In one OF the accompanying large

before them. The undisciplined saw
ages of the plains and forests went
down like grain before the reaper.
And every new tribe subiugated was
tuthlessly amalgamsted into the vic
toriots nation:
The Zulus swept the coast, subiu-
gated Natal and pushed their fierce,
bloody sway far inland. The terror
of their name passed far north and fsr
south.
Nor was there limit to their rayages
until the Dutch settled in Natal.
Then began series of fierce fights in
which the white man and the rifle
finally triumphed and the Zulu power
was broken, OF at least reduced to the
point of non.interference with the
movements of the Dutch and the Eng
lish. who soon after swarmed over the
land.
But while taught to respect the
white man, the Zulu nursed his tradl-
tions, his pride and his ferocity. II

Winning consideration, Tshaka was

lied them perfectly, and when the
chief of the Umtetwas was killed In
battle Tshaka announced the indepen-
dence of the zulus and upheld it by
force.
This done Tshaka started in TO
make the Zulu power supreme. He
attacked his weaker neighbors frs,
and with every victory absorbed the
young warriors into his own army and
destroyed the old men, women and
children. In this way his own army
grew marvelously, and his conquered
neighbors lost recuperatlve power and
eventually identity.
He divided his young warriors into
regiments, distinguishing each regi.

yielded to the sway OF England through
force indeed, but the fight they made
then was one to keep alive the hope of
better ending for renewed struggle.
The secret of the Zulu power lies,
first, in organization, and second, in
the tradition of victory. Organization
under the great chieftain Tshaka at
the beginning of the present century
gave them their first superiority over
other savage tribes, and an unending
series of victories for half u century
or more produced race of rare cour'
