COST OF MEDIATION
EXPENSE INCURRED IN SENDING
TROOPS TO CUBA.

Secretary Taft IL having. prepared with
q view to presentation to Congress
statement Of the extraordinary expenses
incurred by the War Department in send
ing troops to Cuba. The report win in
clude the mileage of the 24O officers who
made special trips in obedience to orders
for duty in connection with the military
movement and the transfer Of the 5000
troops from stations in this country to
Cuba Then there will be an item Of about
service beyond the sea" Tor all the 240
officers and all the enlisted men on duty
in Cuba. That will amount to 10 per cent
in the case Of the officers and 20 per cent
for enlisted men from the date Of de-
parture from this country to the date Of
arrival home. The total amount will reach
double that sum in all probability. since
1t is expected that the troops will be in
Cuba for nearly a year. The sum named
Is the expense up to July last to the end
of the fiscal year, for which special pro-
vision will probably be made in the form
of deficiency appropriation by Congress.
There are other large items. such as the
cost of chartered ships and the special
expense involved in fitting out the trans
ports and other craft used. Another item
Is the hire Of civilian clerks. Some army
officers believe that such expenses should
be charged to the Cubans.

A German Duel.

from the IdDIeI.
The Germania reports the following case:
A young officers quarreled with a friend
who was a solicitor Hot words were ex-
changed, and the officer struck his friend
Here the matter might have ended-there
was something to forgive and regret on
both sides. But the officers regiment heard
of the affair, and court Of honor decided
that he must challenge the civilian. So a
duel by command took place. and the young
lawyer fell MORALLY wounded by his friend.
When the officer returned home he was ar
rested on the information Of the president
of the court of honor which had forced
him to fight. He was tried by an ordinary
tribunal, and sentenced to three months
Imprisonment. The president Of the court
of honor knew he was urging the officer
to an Illegal deed when he insisted on the
duel, but honor, as he understood it, must
be satisfied at all cost.

COFFIN WOOD MINES.
John Chinaman Digs for Wood Priced
for Caskets.

From the Grand Magazine.
There exists no object which the average
Chinaman exhibits more regard for than
the narrow box which Is destined to con-
tain all that Is mortal Of him. He is never
happy until It is In his possession. 1t occu-
pies a conspicuous position in his house,
and the richer he is the more he expends
on its acquisition and adornment.
The collins most esteemed by the Celes-
tials are manufactured from q peculiar
resinous wood. possessing quite extraordi-
nary preservative properties and found only
in one small district in Tonkin buried in
the earth, no living specimens of the tree
now being in existence.
The natives search for 1t quite as eagerly
as elsewhere gold and precious stones are
run after; and. indeed. the deposits, for
such they are, are to all intents and pur-
poses mines of wood, the origin of which
has never been satisfactorily explained.
Local legends have 1t that IN a far dis
tant past vast numbers of these trees ex-
listed in the dense forests with which the
whole region was covered, and that as re-
suit Of some tremendous catacylsm they
were uprooted and precipitated into the ra-
vines. Whether this account is true or not,
the buried trees are today a source OF quito
considerable wealth to the lucky person
who finds them. For a coffin made of this
special wood Chinaman does not consider
$50 or ECO at all too high price to pay.

Color Of the Brides Gown.

From the Church Eclectic.
1t Is interesting to note that the choice
Of white for wedding dresses is compare
lively a modern fashion. The Roman brides
wore yellow. and in the most eastern coun-
tries pink Is the bridal color. During the
middle ages the renaissance brides wore
crimson. and most Of our Plantagenet and
Tudor queens were married in this vivid
hue. which is still popular in parts Of Brit
tany, where the bride is usually dressed in
crimson brocade.
1t was Mary Stuart who first changed the
color of bridal garments. At her marriage
with Francis II Of France In 1553-which
took place not before the altar but before
the great doors of Notre Dame-she was
gowned in white brocade with train OF
pale blue Persian velvet six yards. in
length. This innovation caused quite a
stir in the fashionable world at that time.
It was not, however. till quite the end OF
the seventeenth century that pure white
the color hitherto worn by royal French
widows-became popular for bridal gar
ments in England.

DEEPEST MINE ALMOST A MILE.
Three Greatest Vertical Shafts Are In
Michigan Copper Region.

Three Greatest Vertical Shafts Are In
Michigan Copper Region.
From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
It is probably fact not generally known
that the Michigan copper country possesses
the worlds three deepest vertical shafts
The deepest Of these is the No. at the
North Tamarack property. its measurement
being $500 feet-eighty feet less than
mile To the south, at distance Of 1900
feet, is the No. shaft Of the same COM
pany. This ranks as the second deepest
vertical shaft on the globe, its measure
ment being $3.50 feet from the collar to
the bottom level.
Second only to these great openings is the
Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet & Hecla
Company, which is down 1900 feet, and In
which the copper lode was not encountered
until a depth Of $500 feet had been at
tanned.
The deepest incline shaft in the world Is
the No. of the Calumet & Hecla. This
shaft itself, from the collar to the lowest
level. is sunk on the plane Of the lode for
a distance Of 800 feet, while from a drift
at the bottom a winze extends downward
100 feet to the boundary Of the property,
giving a measurement of $3.50 feet from the
surface No. shaft passes by the Red
Jacket shaft at the f1fty-sixth level.

the second year over plants that were not

LUXURY IN A RANCH HOUSE.
Cut Glass and Silverware-House
Party With Costly Gifts for Guests.

from the Galveston news.
A little, one-story. six-room long ranch
house in Lander, Wyo., with sage brush
land stretching away from il in all direc-
lions and with only numbering mountain
stage coach. drawn by four horses connect
ing it with the outside world, has in 1t
more than any other house, public or pri-
vate, in the state.
Arapahoe boasts not near fifty souls all
told. But the traveller going by stage from
Lander to Shoshone will find its ranch an
uncommonly good one at which to stay
over night, for Mrs. Becker. it's gracious
hostess. does not spend all her money on
ornaments for her table. She always
makes enough to pay two first-class Cri-
nese cooks and to supply her table with
delicacies.
Many ranch houses look neither more nor
less inviting from the outside than does
this one. Dirt, poor food, cracked dishes,
wretched service and insufferably bad beds
compose the accommodations. The traveller
Is agreeably surprised, then, when he finds
the wealth of cut glass. china and silver
ware which graces Mrs. Becker's table, ex-
cellent service, every delicacy that city
market affords, cleanliness everywhere.
easy chairs and couches, beds fresh and
comfortable and an atmosphere Of refine
ment.
Mrs. Becker's cut glass, china and silver
ware are the pride and the delight of Arap-
ahoe and all the countryside round about
1t. Even the Indians who have got a
glimpse of them regard them with sort
of proprietary interest. Not long ago Mrs.
Becker sent an order to New York for a
thousand dollars worth of cut glass, and
that thousand dollars worth Is not all she
has. Besides her valuable collection of cut
glass, china and silver ware, Mrs. Becker
has many hundred dollars worth of Nava-
10 blankets and Indian curios. She made
an army officers wife present of $500 or
yUn n al nd f1ry
and thought nothing of 1t. She Is a West
ern woman and does things in western
way.
Not long ago Mrs. Becker gave a party
at her ranch house, to which she invited
some Of the best-known folk in Lander and
army officers and their wives from Fort
Washable. 1t was a unique society func-
ton. Each Of the numerous guests went
home with a costly gift from the hostess
One young lady was given a saddle, anoth-
er beautiful and costly souvenir spoon
with an elk's tooth set in the handle and
others received gifts equally valuable.

White and Native Labor in Philippines

From the Railroad Gazette.
With regard to the relative efficiency Of
willie and native labor in the skilled trades
in the islands my experience has been that
q Filipino does about one-half as much
work in day as white man In that coun-
try, and about one-third as much as the
white man does in his own country, with
the advantage on the side of the white man
that he thinks further ahead Of his job
than a native and is not SO wasteful Of ma
terials.
The only marked defect applying to all
classes of workmen Is that of instability.
The Filipino Is not steady and may not be
depended upon as a regular laborer until
he makes up his mind to feign sickness less
frequently and until he manages to reduce
materially the hypothetical death rate re-
corded among his relatives. Instances are
known where single workmen have lost
dozens of imaginary aunts and uncles and
several such fathers and mothers in the
course of single year.
