The present situation of both roads

SpainTs Exher stion by ~he Cuban
War. F
on
People here hard'y ~realice what
Spain has done in the course of the
struggle with Cube. She has sent 80
many conscripts f¢ die there of frver
apd homesickness and wietchedness |
that at present the Spanish War
Office has a greater experience in the
matter of the transport of troops by
sea, not merely than any other wer
office of, modern times, but of any
times. Spain~in the last few years has
put 250,000 men into Cuba. That
she dows not have to provide for
bringing them home is the most
dreadtul and disastrous fact of all.
The Cuban war has dore muci to
exhaust Spain in three ways. It has
cost huge sums of money, bas absorbed
the energies of government, and, more
important, it has robbed the country of
half her crop of young men. " The
conscripts have been sent to die in
Cuba ac the very moment when they
ought 10 have been using their young
energies in tillinz ~he soil, winnint
iron from the mines, or working io she
trades, In a lund where the men
bave an invincible longing to rest in
the shade after tor.y, and are old at
fitty, the nation cannot do without its
youtLs. Spain, then under its present
conditions, is exactly the country in
which one would expect the gosp-l 4
anarchy to flourish and abound "

It was mostly in nuggets, the two
largest of which were about 34 inches
long, 14 inches wide and weighed 90
and 86 pennyweights, respectively.

~ According to the newest theory of
sleep, that curious phenomenon results
from the braincheing literally drowned
in blood. ~I'he physiologist who has
made this discovery has also found out
how you may regulate your period of
sleep to the minute, urd awake as regu-
iarly as the punctual cock. All you
bave to do is to raise or lower your
head by meaus of pillows of vari0us
thicknesses. If you want to sleep longer
than you do at preseat,lower the pillow
and Jet in more blood on the brain ; if
you want to sleep less,� aise your pillow
and let in less blood,T Never take
nare'tic druge, as they injure the
brain, but lower the pillow more and
more till sleep comes. You nied not
go to the expense ot buying an alarm
clock, either, since this simple plan
will enable you to awake at any hour.

The sentiment which annuaily
greets the return ol the oyster trom iis
summer vacation may not be of an
wathetic sort, but certainly 1t is as re-
mote as possible from meicenary con-
g.deration of commerce. And yet ~the
oyster not oniy stands for a great deli.
cacy, but for a great industry that will
in time be vastly gea~er. It is shewn
by Government statistics, for instance,
that of the 35,000,000 bushels of
o.sters consumed throughout the
world each year, 30,000,000 bushels
are supplied by the United SScates, and
that the oyster fishery excels any
other fishery in importance. Add to
this that the ndustry is especially
important in our sister States of New
Jersey and Maryland""the latter alone
producing oe bird of the worldTs
crop"and it will be seen vhat there are
special reasons why Philadelpnia
should be cordizl to the oysier, and
should greet its advent with a dezree

other thing in the edible list wth the
possible exception of the Tiankeg ving

could bardly be better found
than in the motto above quoted.

which the Turks hail our troops has
never before been employed as &

or formulated rules which induced
the Turkish foot soldiers to adopt
this mode of fighting. I had wit

I venture to say that it was not un.
