Why tnot apply the cure right to ̂ [the spot itself ? ,:A You can do it with 1 Statistic* of tbe Cuban W«r. Prof. Arthur Codezo Vinageras, of the Havana Academy of Sciences, has compiled tbe vital statistics of the late war of Cuba with Spain. He does not, claim that it is absolutely accurate, but that it 1b approximately so. He estl-5 mates the mean population of the isl­ and in the years 1893-'9S as 1,540,000, of whom 532,000 were colored. Of this 'number 40 per cent, of whites and 72 per cent, of negroes were illiterate. The percentage of male to female was 54 to 4(E He estimates the number of the Spanish army sent to Cuba during this period as 234,000, and the number of Cubans fitted to take arms as 3112,- 000. Of this number he finds that 71,000 actually rose in arms, while 262,000 re­ mained irresolute. The remainder, al­ most 30,000, went into exile. The 'num­ ber of armed Cubans killed during the war was 10,300 whites and 6,600 ne­ groes; of unarmed fighting men 11,400 whites and 12,000 negroes. Weyler's order of reconcentration was responsi­ ble, Prof. Vinageras estimates, for the death by starvation and disease of 387,- 000 persons--:inen, women and chil­ dren. Of this number 202.000 were whites. The total loss of Cuban life by the revolution was 41S.300. The Cubans in arms at the end of the revo­ lution he estimates at 28,600. The total loss of the Spaniards was 22,00C In battle and 106,000 by disease. Immediately after th« gPlaster is applied, you feel* Jits warming, soothing in-J ffluence.

As an instance, take the fol­ lowing incident, which recently occur­ red in India. A small female elephant was charged by a buffalo in high grass, ftnd her rider, in the hurry of the mo­ ment, and perhaps owing to the sudden ttopping of the elephant, fired an ex­ plosive shell from his rifle, not into the buffalo, but into the elephant's shoul­ der. The wound was so severe that it had not healed a year later. Yet the elephant stood firm, although it was Sored by the buffalo, which was then killed by another gun. What is even more strange is that the elephant was not nervous of gun reports afterward. Bromus Inerraia Grasa I It's the greatest grass on earth--Salzer •ays so.

Mac Arthur'* Brigade--Plana to Quickly Crush Agninaldo'a Force*. An Electric Plant. A plant which grows in the forests oi India, called the Pbilotacea electrlca, has the power Of emitting electric sparks. The hand which breaks a leaf from this plant immediately receives a shock equal to that produced by an induction coil. At a distance of six yards a magnetic needle is affected, and will be deranged if brought near. The enefgy of this singular influence varies with the lrour of the day. All- powerful about 2 o'clock in the after­ noon, it is absolutely annulled during the night. During rain the plant seems to'succumb, and bends its head during a thunder shower. It then remains without force or virtue, even if shel­ tered by an umbrella. No shock is felt in breaking the leaves at that time, and the needle is unaffected beside it. Birds or insects never by any chance alight on the electric plant, an instinct seem­ ing to warn them that they will find certain death there. Where it grows none of the magnetic metals are found, neither iron, cobalt, nor nickel--an un­ deniable proof that the electric force belongs exclusively to the plant. What Do the Children Drink?

The British Home Office report for 1887 shows that while serious crimes tend to diminish in England, there is a great increase of minor offenses. By far the larger number of criminals con­ victed during the year have been con­ victed of some crime before--a fact that led the Home Office to conclude "that neither penal servitude nor Im­ prisonment serves to deter the habitual offender from reverting to crime, and it is the habitual offender who forms the bulk of the prison population."

Many women are denied the happiness of children through some derangement of the generative organs. Actual barrenness is rare. -Amoi£ the many triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the overcoming of cases of supposed barrenness. This great medicine is so well calculated to regu­ late every function of the generative or­ gans that its efficiency is .jouched for by multitudes of women. MRS. ED. WOLFORD, of Lone Tree, Iowa, writes: '* DEAR MRS. PINKHAM--Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I had one child which lived only six hours. The doctor said it did not have the proper nourishment while I was carrying it. I did not feel at all well during preg­ nancy. In time I conceived again, and thought I would write to you for advice. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards yon for the help that your medi­ cine was to me during this time. I felt like a new person; did my work tip to the last, and was sick only a short time. My baby weighed ten pounds. He is a fine boy, the joy of our home. He is now six weeks old and weighs sixteen pounds. Your medicine is cer­ tainly a boon in pregnancy." MRS. FLORA COOPER, of Doyle, S. Dak., writes: " DEAR MRS, PINKHAM-- Ever^ince my last child I suffered with inflammation of the womb, pains in back, left side, abdomen and groins. My head ached all the time. I could not walk across the floor1 withoutsuffering intense pain. I kept getting worse, until two years ago I wrote to yon for advice, and began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I had not finished the first bottle before I felt better. I took four bottles, and have been strong and perfectly healthy ever since, and now have two of the nicest little girls." Manila advices Saturday reported a ter­ rible battle near Caloocan. TJie Ameri­ cans won a splendid victory. Five hun­ dred rebels were killed and wounded and as many more were taken prisoners. American losses were conservatively es­ timated at sixteen killed and about 130 wounded. The insurgent losses are great­ er than during any previous engagement. Gen. MacArthur's division is to be cred­ ited with the splendid work of the day, including the capture of several villages and complete demoralization of Aguinal­ do's forces. The capture of Malabon, the rout of the insurgents, the making pris­ oner of Aguinaldo and the complete occu­ pation of his so-called capital, Malolos, is the campaign mapped out by Gen. Otis. Elaborate preparations were made. Gen. Whfcaton's brigade was placed in the rear and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis' and Gen. Hall's were massed behind Gen. Hale's. Under the cover of the darkness Gen. Otis' and Gen. Hale's brigades left their trenches and advanced close tip on the enemy's line without being detected, Gen. Wheaton's and Gen. Hall's brigades oc­ cupying the vacated positions. At day­ light Gen. Otis' and Gen. Hall's brigades advanced from La Loma church straight through the rebel lines, cutting the ene­ my's force in two. Upon this occasion the rebels adopted the American tactics of holding their fire until the attackers were about 1,000 yards distant. The rebels also fired lower than usual. The Ameri­ cans fired volleys with terrible effect and then rushed forward, cheering and carry­ ing everything before them. Once through, Gen. MacArthur's division was swung to the left, driving the rebels away on all sides. The natives stood until the Americans were within 200 yards of their position and then broke and ran for the woods. Thirty of them were killed in the out­ skirts and seventy on the roads. The Mon­ tana and Kansas troops met the hottest resistance. Smoke from the burning huts marked the lino of the American advance. Ambulances and horse litters, led by Chin­ ese, brought in the wounded, among whom were a few Filipinos. The Americans who were wounded endured their injuries bravely. WILL MARRY BOB BURDETTE. Tbe Bride-Elect of the Humorist la Wealthy and Gifted. Two recent events in the career of Bob Burdette will interest the admirers of the great Aiherican humorist. One is that he has turned preacher and will fill the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church of Pasa­ dena, Cal., and the other is that he will soon take anto himself another wife. The bride-elect is Mrs. Clara Baker of Pasa­ dena. Her remarkable beauty and gra- ciousness would distinguish her id any company, and to make matters all the more pleasant she is possessed of no little share of the world's wealth. Her home is one of the prettiest among Pasadena's famous homes and its social atmosphere is delightful. She is the founder and a former president of the Ebell Club of Los Angeles, and is a writer of force and reputation. The friendship between these .two brilliant persons began twenty years ago when they met on the lecture plat­ form in a Wisconsin town, she as the president of a literary organization! and he as the lecturer of the evening.

Among the many stories of Hamlin's early experiences in the Maine Legisla­ ture none is more animated than his tilt with John Holmes, interesting, be­ sides, because it gives the origin of "The Carthaginian of Maine," a name that Btuck to Hamlin through life. Holmes had been in the United States Senate, and at this particular time writes General Hamlin, a member of the State House of Representatives was endeavoring to domineer over it. "Hamlin disputed the leadership with him, and Holmes attempted to crush his young opponent by coarsely ridicul­ ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly Hamlin jumped to his feet, and point­ ing his finger at Holmes retorted^ 'If the gentleman chooses to find fault with me for my complexion, what has he to say about .himself ? I take my complexion from nature; he gets his from the brandy bottle. Which is more honorable?'" This retort was greeted with great applause and cries of "Go on!" Hamlin then continued pointing his finger at Holmes: "I will also tell the member from Alfred that he is more conspicuous for trying to run dry shod over yofmg men than for trying to encourage them. • • But as long as they are true to them­ selves and to nature, and as long as the member from Alfred sticks to the brandy bottle, they need not fear him As soon as the cheers of the House could be sufficiently silenced, Holmes retracted bis words and made a manly apology. "The young Carthaginian routed the old Roman," was one hu­ morous comment on the incident, and from that time Hamlin was thus fre­ quently characterized. The Parson Was in a Harry. Here is a faithful report of a unique wedding ceremony in the wilds of Ken­ tucky: "George Washington Columbus, do you take this woman to be--hush! What was that?" Deep silence, for a few secondsf fol lowed by another section of the ser­ vice. Then raising his hand, the preach­ er said solemnly: ,.-t "As a minister of the gospel--Ustenr I think I hear a wild cat!" Deep silence for ten seconds. "I pronounce you--listen, that's a wild cat sure--husband and wife." And down the hill the pnrty raced, with the preacher three lengths in the lead and running easy.--Atlanta Con­ stitution. TABAKS KOLLEQIUM. Belgian Bruges Poaaeaaca a Hi-rat to Friedt-ich Wiih'elm'a Clnb. Quaint old Bruges, immortalized by Longfellow, possesses one of the quee^* est institutions extant. It is nothing other than a modern imitation of the Tabaks Kollegium, famous throughout the history-reading world. The Prus­ sian Smoking College, as originally initiated by the stout old King, was rather for serious business than mere pleasure, matters of gravest import­ ance to church and state being dis­ cussed between the long, solemn puffs. Brugshce Rookersclub, on the contrary, is continued for the sake of sport. A smoking contest is carried on each evening, not, as might be supposed, to see who can smoke the most tobacco in the least time, but who can smoke the least tobacco in the most time. At the signal to begin, attendants light simultaneously the pipes of all the con­ testants, who are seated around a great table. Each man smokes a com­ mon kind of pipe, filled with exactly two and a half grammes of the finest tobacco. A referee watches carefully to see that no one allows his fire to die dotvn, the rule being that a spark must be kept constantly burning. Each man drops out as his pipeful Is consumed, while the two who remain the longest share the money in portions of two and three fifths, the winner taking the larger portion. Many members of the Rookersclub have become expert at the game, puffing constantly away at one pipeful for as long as two hours. The club is a very exclusive affair, the heavy dues keeping out all but the up­ per class. The First News Sheets. The first news sheets at all answer­ ing1 to our modern newspaper were Is­ sued by order of the Venetian govern­ ment, about 153G. At first they were simply written out, and exhibited to public inspection on payment of a small coin called a "gazetta," whence the modern term "Gazette." Afterward the demand made it necessary to print them. The first English newspaper of which we have positive evidence was the Weekly News, published by Na­ thaniel Butler in 1032. The English Mercurle of 1583 is a forgery. It was really printed about the middle of the eighteenth century.--Boston Traveler. f MRS. CLARA BAKER. A Good Idea.

A recent British consular report from the far east describes a suspension bridge of 300 feet span made of bam­ boo. The cane is split up into fibers and twisted together to form the cables. Considering its span, the material of the structure is quite remarkable. The old tradition that almost anything can be made out of bamboo receives here a good illustration in the field of engi­ neering.
