Feeling In England Highly lnfiamed.

London, Oct. 26.-Political feeling Is
infamed to degree that has not been
attained since the dark days OF Decem-
Der, 1899, when the Boer successes held
up Lord Salisbury's ministry to the
scorn and ridicule Of the world, while
Salisbury himselfseemed utterly dumb
founded by the successive reports of
disaster to the British arms.
The dismissal OF General Butler from
command of the First Army corps is re
spousibe for this new outburst.
Meanwhile, the ministry says moth
ing to allay the public uueasiness over
the fact that 5000 persons, chiefly
children, persisted in the South African
concentration camps during the past
| four months. There seems to be nc
doubt that the mortality would be
greatly lersened by the removal of the
camps to the seacoast, but against that
step is the suggestion that the remova

THE Schley investigation has brought
TO light one thing about the Santiago
battle that was never suspected or
thought Of by the American people.
That Is the smallncss Of some Of the
American officers engaged therein.
The Americans have considered the
victory a famous one, and have believ-
ed all the men WHO helped win it heroes.
The conflicting stories told before the
court make the people doubt the truth

alta, and, without a word, walk
across the plaza to Colorado Charley's
and there disappear for about ten
minutes. Then they would walk
back, side by side, and resume their
seats until the next intermission. At
nightfall they meandered off to the
little house that Old Mercedes kept
in order for them, ate their evening
meal, and after postprandial pipe,
rolled themselves in their blankets
and addressed themselves to slumber.
That was their daily routine.
In course of time Lish died. That
occasioned no surprise, for he had
long passed the allotted span of life;
but it was thought strange that Tank
was not more affected. Hank put o.,
his other clothes and went around
to the carpenter, Manuel Gonzales,
and made arrangements about the
coffin with absolute impassiveness,
and only grunted in response to
Manuers fearful condolences. To
those who spoke to him about the
death on the way there and back he
returned the same grunt, and Moth
ing more; nevertheless Manuel, when
he took the coffin up to the house,
found him sitting at the rough deal
table, his chin between his hands and
an unlighted pipe between his teeth,
staring straight before him in such
abstraction that the little carpenter
had to touch him on the shoulder to
make him aware of his presence.
That night Manuel had occasion to
go past the house quite late, and,
| tip-toeing up to the window, he saw
Hank in exactly the same position.
That might have meant grief. Nam
uel, in the discussion at Colorado
Charley.s as to. whether Hank cared
a dern, took the position that it did
mean grief.
| AT the funeral Hank showed an in
decently small amount of emotion
in fact, no emotion at all; but the
day after he began to act strangely.
He took his accustomed seat at the
palazzo door, but before an hour had
passed he got up and wandered rest
lessly along Francisco street, return
I ing at last to seat himself on bench
| in the plaza. At the usual time he
went and took his usual drink, but
after that he went sometimes often

SPREAD BY ANIMALS.


The subject of the relationship be.
tween the diseases to which man is
liable and those from which animals
suffer is very interesting and impor-
tant, and will well repay the study
now being given to it by physicians
and veterinary surgeons. These dis
eases, says Youths Companion, may
be divided into three classes-those
equally affecting both man and ami
mails, those special to man, but which
may also be caught by animals, and
those belonging to animals. but
which may attack man If he comes
in close contact with the sick ami
NAL.
Of those equally affecting both man
and animals the best known is tuber-
culosis. Some physicians insist that
the tuberculosis of cows. is not the
same as that of human beings, bat
most are of the opinion that the diff
ferences between the two diseases are
only such as might be expected to ex-
list in view of the vital differences be-
tween the two classes of beings.
Another disease common to men
and some animals is smallpox. In
this case there seems to be more diff
ference between the disease in man
smallpox, and that in animals
cowpox and horsepox. Yet that the
two affections are closely related is
shown by the protection against
smallpox that is afforded us by ipoc-
- 49,. ~x~;<b c<xx,,~<~ - ~ -
Diphtheria and scarlet fever are
shared with us by various animals,
and it has been asserted by certain
English physicians that these diseases
may be conveyed to children in the
milk from sick cows. However this
may be, there is little doubt that cats,
rabbits and perhaps other domestic
animals, can acquire diphtheria from
sick children, and can in turn trans
NIT it to healthy children.
The plague is a disease common to
man, monkeys and rodents, and is so
equally shared by them that no one
knows whether it was primarily hui
man disease or rat pest.
Among the diseases belonging es-
pecially to animals, but which may
also be contracted by men, are hydro
phobia, anthrax or malignant pustule,
CHAMBERS and foot-and-mouth disease
Some of the parasitic skin diseases
are also transmissible from men to
animals, and the reverse. A very
common example of this is ringworm
which is not infrequently introduced
among the children of family by
the cat.

.er and sometimes he forgot to go at
all for whole morning at time.
He went back to his old seat at tho
palazzo door only once.
That was about month after. He
had been particularly restless that
morning, so the habitues of the plaza
said. He changed his seat two or
three times, and then went over to
the obelisk erected to the memory Of
the troopers who had fallen at
Apache canyon, and stood looking at
it long and meditatively, with the
air of man who had just noticed it
for the first time. He and 'Lish had
fought that bloody day at the cam
yon.
Nobody noticed him after that un-
til Pablo Saltillo, the district attor-
ney, crossing over to the palazzo,
said: Hello! There's Hank back
again at his old stand" Then every
body looked. He was tilted back in
his chair, his head bent forward as if
he was buried in profound thought.
As Saltillo went in at the door lie
said: "Como esta, Hank?" Bus
Hank made no reply.
Then Saltillo, looking closer at
him, saw that he was dead.-Chicagc
