ANCLO â€" SAXON SOLDIBRS,. MILITARY ACHIEVEMENTS AT SAN TIAGO AND IN THE SOUDAN. Prove the Fighting Supremacy of the Angloâ€"Saxon Kaceâ€".‘ Compartson of the Accomplishments of the Two Armiesâ€" Abmost Equal Dificulties Overcomeâ€" Shame for Amerlca in One Particular. The recent achievements of American arms in Cuba and British arms in the Soudan, have resulted in the birth of a great sp{rit of national mutuality. In the United States the news of the splendid victory of General Sir Herbert Kitchener‘s men at Omdurman has been received with open and general rejoicing, says the Cincinatti Enguirâ€" er. In England the story of the gloriâ€" ous achievements of the invading army at Santiago was welcomed with all the acclaim of & at santiago was weicomed wiln dll the acclaim of a CaAUSK FOR NATIONAL REJOICING The Angloâ€"Saxon spirit of sympathy and kinship has been strongly aroused by avents of almost parallel lut.ionlli importance and the common boast of thoss who speak the English tongue, is that their soldiers are the superiors of any others in the world. There were many points of techaiâ€" cal similarity in the two campaigns. Each army was taken into a sickly climate and far from a base of supâ€" plies. One was to fight trained and disciplined troops of a European naâ€" tion, the other to cut its way through a hords of uncivilized religious fanâ€" alics, under the leadership of a pagan chief, whom they regarded as one of supernatural power. Here apparentâ€" ly was a great difference, but, realâ€" ly, was the difference great? Could the courage of fanatics exceed that of the Spanish regiments of San Juan, which fought on and even continued volley firing when they were surroundâ€" ed, decimated and inevitably defeated# Could the mouthpieca of Allah, speakâ€" ing to the dervishes,get much further away from mundane fact than did the Spanish commanders in their bombasâ€" tic proclamations concerning the It is safe to say that the ignomeol of the Spanish soldier, coupled with the effect upon him of such proolt-l mations, armed him with a confidence | almost equal to that of the dervish | who knew by the mouth of the Khaliâ€" fa that Allah was at his back. In the matter of small arms mdi equipments the Spanish troops were up . to the latest modern standards. How about the opponents of the British? It‘s a queer pictureâ€"Mo>ammedan fanâ€" atics in flowing gowns maintaining the supremacy of Allah with Leeâ€"Metford riflesâ€"but facts play hob with the unities of romance. ; The evidence is that the early fire of the dervishes was accurate, well directed and delivâ€" ered according to the most approved method of modern military tactics. So was the Spanish fire. At Santiago and Omdurman alike it was the impetuosâ€" ity and ‘individual initiative‘of Angloâ€" Baxon troops which won. It is cited as an example of the ferâ€" vcity and savagery of the dervishes that wounded followers of the Khalifa lyin@ helpless within the British lines fired upon and killed British soldiers as short rangse. The assertion that General Kitchener‘s men were obliged to mations, arm almost equal who knew by fa that Allah Is made as indicating the stress of the situation. What does Santiago show in comparison? Lieutenat Ord, of the Sixth infantry, killed when the fight at San Juan was over by a bullet from ithe revolver of a Spaniard who lay wounded and hbelpless in the trenches. _A private of Captain Torâ€" rey‘s company, of the same regiment, shot at close quarters by a Spanish soldier, who swallowed the contents of a vial of poison immediately after firâ€" ing. In the first case there was an oftâ€"hand application of the "noâ€"quarâ€" ter" ruls; id the second it was unnecesâ€" sary. Take the numerous instances of surgeons and hospital men, killed by shirpâ€"shooters at the operating tables, in hospitals three miles back of the firâ€" ing line. Picture the colored men of the Ninth Cavairy, scouring the thickâ€" ets and potting these Spanish sharpâ€" surgcons d sha rpâ€"shoot in hospitals ing line. I the Ninth € ets and po shooters The real and radical differences to be noted in the two compaigns are not pleasant for Americans to contemâ€" plate. While the dervishes are calling on Allah to know why he has deserted them, the Angloâ€"Egyptian troops, it may be said without irreverence, are making a little god of the Sirdar, Genâ€" eral Kitchener. He has become known as the "Man of Certainties," for the reason â€" that hbe made no â€" mistake throughout the entire campaign, neâ€" glected nothing ’that .W?ul:i tend to ahooters IN TREES LIKE SQUIRRELS.

Those of us who have read the accounts of the sufferings of American troops in Cuba through the shortness or utâ€" ter absence of necessary supplies, canâ€" not help, good patriots as we are, makâ€" ing a comparison between American unpreparedness and the perfection of thoughtfulness shown in the equipâ€" ment of _ General Kitchener‘s army, where nothing was forgotten, not even the Roentgen Rays. Tommy Atkins could not have been better cared for had he been the pamâ€" | sndubibed PET OF A WEALTHY HOUSEHOLD. *‘ The clothes he wore were the very best the scientific military man can proeursg to belp the wearer combat desert dangers. On the helmet of the DECLARE "NO QUARTER." soldiar of Kitchener‘s army is a "spinal protector," which is worn as a precauâ€" tion against sunrstroke. : This hood falls over the shoulders, and is fastâ€" ened to the back of the Khaki coats. The whole uniform is of dustâ€"colored Nearly all of Shafter‘s men were takâ€" en into the sultry feverâ€"laden climate of Cuba, wearing practically the same uniform as that in which they were able to withstand the cold of a winter Indian campaign. It was absolutely as unfit as possible for the purpose. The soâ€"called Khaki,which was issued later, is miserably poor in quality and set oif with brilliant colored facings,which make it the most admirable of targets. Officers wore it to their sorrow in the fight at San Juan. They can tell how it drew the Spanish fire. % The sickness in General Kitchener‘s forces has been comparativeiy small, and the sick have received the most enlightened and effective treatment. The Twelfth United States Infantry went into afight at San Juan actualâ€" ly without a surgeon. Many wounded died from neglect. Fever patients lay without medicine or shelter, torâ€" mented by insects, until death ended their sufferings. But there is no use of a category showing the inefficiency the American army‘s soâ€"called medical department. The results are too sorâ€" rowfully apparent to the whole Ameriâ€" ] The Advertiser has comeacross still| |another instance of the remarkable | curative powers of the famous Canaâ€" | dian remedy, Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills |\for Pale People. Mr. William Tedlie, | of Lower Brighton, a prominent lumâ€" | berman and farmer, came very near being a cripple {from rheumatism, the !dre-'sd disease so prevalent along the | St. John River. Mr. Tedlie is now 65 years of agoe. Five years ago he was laken with the first symptoms of rheuâ€" matismâ€"over exposure, the stream |drivea and the general hard life of |the lumberman, paved the way for the lodigment of the excruciating disease. §’1‘he symptoms first manifest were | pains through the legs, arms and , hands. Gradually conditions grew | worse. At intervals there would be | an abatement of the malady, but for months each year he was very nearly | helpless. The pain was so agonizing | that sleep was out of the question, | and to work was impossible. â€" The afflicted man had so often read of the | wonderful â€" efficacy of Dr. Williams‘ |\ Pink Pills in cases similar tohis own, |\ that he resolved to try thein. He says, however, that he was not hopeful of receiving much benefit, as he had |tried many medicines without any gooq can people.

To remember a face, as a person is called, the rule is not difficult to folâ€" low ; pick out some feature or pecuâ€" liarity by which you can distinguish that face or person, from all other faces or persoas, and associate the name with that feature or peculiarity. No two countenances or figures are alike, and it is by noting how they differ one from another that you will remember them. In explaining his reâ€" markable memory for faces Speaker Reed once said to a reporter that he never looked a man in the face that some striking peculiarity, a line, a wrinkle, an expression, about the eye, the set of the lips, the shape of the nose, something set that man‘s face down in his mind ineradicably and disâ€" tinguished from the rest of mankind.

The use of soaps containing & disinâ€" fectant of some kind has become 80 general that observations on the pracâ€" tical value of such combinations canâ€" not fail to be of interest. Dr. Reithâ€" offer has recently published the reâ€" sults of some experiments carried out by him with the various kinds of soap, having for object to determine their value as microbicides. He used the orâ€" dinary mottle soap, white almond soap perfumed with nitrobenzine, and hard potash soap. He found that these | soaps were very inimical to the cholera '| microbe, a 1 per cent solution killing | them in a short space of time, while a 5 per cent solution of the potash soap killed them in five minutes. We are, therefore, at liberty to infer that as in washing the hands the strength of the soap solution is never less than 5 and may go as high as 45 per cent, this method of disinfecting the bhands, as well as the clothes, etc., is fairly trustworthy. Much stronger solutions lare required, however, to destroy the bacilli of typhoid, the colibacillus, etc., l not less than 10 per cent. being suffiâ€" cient. None of the soaps experimentâ€" ed with appeared to have any effect on the pyogenic microbe. The practicâ€" cal result of these investigations is that it is always preferable to use soap and water first of all, rinsing the hands in the disinfectant solution afterward. This is an important point which merits to be generally made known. WARTS !
