This revolution is the beginning of the end of Cuba fibre. The island republic is crumbling, not So much from the weight of the revolution as from the weight of Its own corrup- tion and incapscity." Major Estes G. Rathbone. one time fourth assis- tant postmaster general and director of posts in Cuba during the period of American control in the island. made the above-quoted grave declaration regarding the situation that has de- veioped recently in Cuba under the Palma government. Major Rathbone has kept in constant touch with Cu- ban affairs and probably Is as faniil- far with the Cuban leaders and with the Cuban character as any Ameri- can. President Palma is an honest man. but he undoubtedly was the beneficiary of election manipulation. There is practically no chance for the revolutionists to succeed. for the United States eventually will have to step in and settle the difficulty if the Palma government should be un- able to control the situation It is just at this point that the snnexa- tionists become hopeful They be- Iieve that if the United states should intervene again Tn Cuban affairs 1t would take over the island without further ado. That iz the reason all

It is very evident that the organi- rational of national banks in this country has been going on at pretty lively clip since March IA. 1900, the date of the present banking law. Since that time up to August 31. this year, 3,0S0 national banks have been organized, with capital of $176,- 5SS,300. This does not include four In Hawaii and one in Porto Rico. In the number of banks organized Texas takes the lead with 33s. as against sos in Pennsylvania, but the Penn- sylvania banks represented a capital of s23,102,000 while those of Texas foot up on s14.570, 900. After Penn sylvania, Minnesota was the most profitable field for small banks. the number organized there being IFS, with a capital of s6,171.000.

SHIPWRECKED MEN.
That's the Time They Really Can Eat Their Boots.

Shipwrecked persons have been kept alive on the most repugnant and m wholesome of foods. Probably the hardest fare that six strong men anal boy of 15 ever kept alive on was the daily menu of the Windover's survi- vors, who were cast up on the Irish coast near Kilsegg not long ago. They lived sixteen days on stewed rope yarn.
 When they took the ships small boat they had water enough. for a month but only small amount of provisions. These lasted four days. After having nothing at all to eat for the following two days they tried boiling lengths of tarred hemp rope in to pulp and swallowing it.
 They had keg of paraffin wax. which they boiled to add to the nour- ishment. The sickness they exper- fenced as a result of the diet. says What-to- Eat. was only temporary and they landed in comparatively good health.
 Captain Maboly of the foundered steamer Gwalior and his second officer created record less than two years ago by living for seventeen days on boot leather and pint of water q day each.
 Of course no teeth can tear cow hide boots: they have to be cut up and shredded with a knife and the shreds chewed and swallowed. Boiling, ev- en when possible 1t is said, does no good. but takes from the nourishment of the boots. X few ounces of leath- CT being very hard to digest: stay the stomach for fifteen or twenty hours.
 A diet of boots and shoes Is one of the commonest of last resonrce foods. and to imagine that any one could masticate and digest the leather. a pair of long sea boots will keep man alive fortnight if he has a little water.
 Two men who went to small isl- and off the Irish coast not long ago kept themselves going for ten days on a diet probably worse than this. They landed in q boat which was smashed by a wave on their trying fo relaunch her. and they were kept on tbe bare rocky island without food.
 Fortunately there was q spring an inc island. but nothing in the way of sea gulI<. which they could catch. and nothing which to make fire as a dis tress signal. There were not even any shell fish. as there was no beach and the pair had to subsist for ten days on cold. raw selweed washed up by the tide.
 The hest known and most useful of starvation diets for wrecked or cas.away people however. is that of barnacIeS. Three Engii<hrTien and crew of I.ascars who had been forca,i to abandoned the sailing vessel North Star a few months ago kept them selves going for more than week on barnacIes. and only two of the crew disi
 The worst of this diet Is that the IarnaeIeS give one internal crarnp< snd cause an in<ufferable thirst but they do nourish the frame. You have to reach under the vessels sisIe and puIl them oT. taking care not to leave the best half of them sticking tO the blanks

HOW THE SWISS MAKE AN ARMY.
337. .000 Soldiers to a Population of
 Only Three Millions.

The Swiss army is one of the most remarkable of her political institu- tions. It is the ideal toward which the common people of every Euro pean country, weighed down with taxation to support huge standing armies, turn with longing and hope.
 According to the Arena the Swiss system of militia saves millions of money to the taxpayers and gives years of freedom from military ser- vice to the soldiers.
 Practically all Swiss serve from the age of 20 to 50 in the militia and reserves. The raw recruits go into schools. the infantry for forty-five days, the cavalry for eighty.
 After this the cavalry serves six teen days each year and the infantry and artillery fourteen days each ev- cry other year. The reserves serve only five or six days every four years. The officers. of course. are carefully trained in good schools for a period of years.
 This short service would be insuf- ficient were 1t not preceded and sup plimented by military training for boys in school and rifle practice every year by practically all Swiss citi- zens.
 Target shooting is the national sport, and in accordance with the law a place for target practice must be supplied by every town in the country. As an encouragement prizes of all sorts are offered by the national government.
 Thus little Switzerland. with a pop ulation less than 3.000.000 of people. has an army of 3a7 900 of the most martial soldiers of Europe-armed. equipped and ready to take the field at a moments notice.
