BIG CITIES OF SPAIN. At the Mersey of the United States Fleet, and Could Be Easily Bombarded. Should the disagreement of Spain and the United States cause an American fleet to attack the Spanish seacoast, nothing except an alliance with some European power or the massing of Spain's naval force could prevent the ruin of many Spanish cities. A century ago the Spanish cities on tidewater were the best fortified in the world, many of them being almost impregnable. To-day the only town on the Spanish coast which could not be destroyed by the guns of our fleet is Gibraltar, an English possession. Thanks to the friendly feeling of the English, the Stars and Stripes can pass by the great rock unmolested, as its guns completely command the entrance to the Mediterranean. Three of Spain's seaports outside of Gibraltar would be at our mercy. On the Bay of Biscay within six miles of the open sea, are the cities of Santander and Corunna. They are of about the same size, each having a population of 35,000. From them are shipped large quantities of iron and copper ore, and at Santander is a large portion of Spain's wheat supply from abroad. Although a battery was placed on Santander bay about two years ago, its guns are very light and would not prevent such cruisers as the Brooklyn and Minneapolis from steaming to within three miles of the heart of the city. Corunna, containing an obsolete citadel and two small forts, is practically in the same condition and could be destroyed by shells from any modern vessel. A far more important port, however, is Cadiz, on the Atlantic coast, northwest of Gibraltar. This is one of the oldest and wealthiest cities of Europe. It is at the end of a narrow peninsula and surrounded by walls built several centuries ago. The harbor is so good that vessels drawing thirty feet of water can approach within pistol shot of the docks. The only protection against an attack from sea is a chain of sunken rocks about two miles from shore; there is nothing, however, to prevent a warship's eight-inch guns from reducing its principal buildings to ruins. Cadiz is one of Spain's largest naval stations, and contains dry dock and several extensive shipyards, all of which are within easy range of modern ordnance, while the extent of coast line is such that it would be impossible to place any chain of torpedoes or other submarine defenses in such a manner as to prevent an enemy from coming within attacking distance. The Mediterranean coast of Spain is Malaria Cured All Medicines Failed Except Hood’s Sarsaparilla Improved with the First Dose—Now Entirely Well. Malaria is caused by bad air, bad water, bad drainage, which make bad blood. Hood’s Sarssparilla cures malaria by purifying the blood. Read this interesting statement: “I was confined to my bed with malaria. I could not take strong medicines, owing to my condition, and everything I took failed to help me. At last I decided to try Hood’s Sarssparilla. After taking it a short time the malaria was entirely gone and I have never had it since. I began to improve with the very first dose of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I am now strong and well.” Mrs. A. M. Woosley, Delano, California. Remember Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the best—in fact the One True Blood Purifier. Sold by all druggists. Price: $1; six for $5. Hood’s Pills are the best after-dinner pills, aid digestion. 250 cannon. To the novice in modern warfare the first view of one of these coast cities is imposing, for an impression of massiveness and strength is given. On close examination, however, it is seen that appearances have been deceptive. The cement has crumbled from between the great stones, and portions of the walls have fallen away, leaving gaps through which a pair of horses could be driven. The massive iron gates, some of them erected four or five hundred years ago, have rusted on their hinges so that they can scarcely be closed; some have fallen down. The citadels, which are relied upon for the greatest resistance, are as a rule in a dilapidated condition, and few of them contain anything but muzzle-loading cannon. These have about the same range as the old Rodman guns with which Fortress Monroe and New York harbor were equipped during the civil war. The strongest works are at Cadiz and Cartagena, where modern rifled cannon have been placed in the fortresses, and at Barcelona, where a pier in the harbor has modern ordnance. This includes a few Krupps, but the majority of the guns are of Spanish make. They would be more formidable in modern defenses, but owing to their elevated positions the fortresses form an excellent target for turret guns especially, which can be elevated. How She Answered Him. If the average American tourist does not speak French, the natives call Nothing will stop them. Calling at house of an acquaintance. I was greeted by the concierge, a female janitor, less as a corporation, and with no rations to beauty. Carefully read from my phrasebook, I said as best could, “Is Mr. Blank at home?” The woman should have said “No or Yes.” Instead of that she may much more, and I missed the monologues if she uttered them. When order was restored, I repeated my question. Again she was voluptuous. Then I played for safety, when the phrasebook suggests. I said French: “I do not speak much French Please speak deliberately in order that may if possible properly understory you.” I did not want to say all that but I did not know what words to leave out. I let it all go. I think we did her level best, but to this day she not know if she said my man was or out. I could only make her a found bow and say in United States “Heaven bless you for those words.” was horse and horse. Then I sent my man a letter asking him to call. He told me that it curious that two Americans had come telling him one of them seemed daft, for although the woman had him her master was in and requested his name of him he kept repeating question and finally left—Paris Le in Kansas City Times. Nutriments In Malt Liquors. Wines and malt liquors, while training a far less amount of alcohol than the distilled liquors, do contain definite amount of nutritive matter Perhaps the best definition of beer brewed today is that of a fermented saccharine infusion to which has added a wholesome bitter. It consists water, alcohol, carbonic and acetic acid and bitter principles from the hop cording to Professor Atwater’s investigations,” ale, beer and wine contain small quantities of nutritive material addition to their alcohol and other stituents. That of wine consists mainly of compounds alkin to carbohydrate and averages a trifle over 3 per cent of whole weight. That of ale and includes, on the average, a little one-half of 1 per cent of protein other nitrogenous compounds and 7 per cent of carbohydrates and substances. A pint (pound) of ale would contain roughly speaking The Mediterranean coast of Spain is still more vulnerable; it is also more important, owing to the number and size of its seaports. From the border of France westward to Gibraltar are to be found harbors large and small upon which are towns of importance. Beginning at the east with Barcelona, Spain's largest seaport city, and ending at Malaga on the west, a series of seven important cities are located directly on the coast or within five miles of it. Besides those mentioned are Taragona, Valencia, Alicante, Cartagena and Almeria. Barcelona is the great industrial city of the country, the majority of its population being engaged in the manufacture of cotton, woolen and silk goods, and ornamental glass. Here the government manufactures cannon, small arms and powder. The harbor contains twenty feet of water in the shallowest part, and is crowded with shipping. Every portion of the anchorage would be within range of the eight and ten-inch rifles of cruisers at the harbor's mouth. The trade of Barcelona has been estimated at $25,000,000 annually, and its people are amongst the wealthiest in Spain. Further westward is Tarragona which, like Valencia, Alicante and Malaga, is the center of an extensive grape-growing district. Its population is about 27,000. Within half a day's run by sea to the west is the famous town of Valencia, located on the Guadalquivir river, four miles south from sea. Its factories have made it one of the richest cities of Europe, its specialties being silk and linen fabrics, wine, fruit and raisins. Olive oil and wines are shipped in large quantities from Alicante. From the American standpoint Cartagena may be considered the most important of Spanish cities. Here are the largest arsenals, and an ordnance factory which for hundreds of years has turned out most of the cannon used by the Spanish forces. The guns of the famous Armada of Philip II were made at this port in buildings the ruins of which are still to be seen. Cartagena's sailmakers supplied the canvas for all the Spanish vessels which took part in the great sea fights of history. The Spanish naval officers receive their education at the school of Cartagena, which may be termed the Annapolis of Spain. Of the city's entire population of 70,000, fully one-half are in the service of the government. The largest dry dock on the Mediterranean sea is at this point; it was built for government use exclusively. Almeria, a city of 40,000 people, is perhaps the least important of the chain of cities, as its business is continued almost entirely to wineries and fruits. About seventy miles east of Gibraltar the city of Malaga lies close to the sea coast on a level plain, nearly surrounded by mountains; vessels drawing twenty-five feet of water can readily enter its harbor. Annually it ships millions of dollars' worth of the well-known Malaga grapes and has the largest sugar factory on the Continent. As a traveler approaches these cities from the water view is picturesque that vessels drawing thirty feet of water can approach within pistol shot of the docks.

There are some curious things about the Chinamen in this city that I have observed," said one of the conductors the other day on the Pennsylvania avenue street car line as the car stopped and two Chinamen got off. "They almost invariably take a car when they have any distance to go. I suppose that it is on account of the peculiar shoes they wear. Another thing that I have observed about them is that they always buy tickets. I have been on this line for a long time now and I have the first nickel to receive from a Chinaman yet. They travel, as a rule, in company, generally two together. "They are great people for paying one another's fare. When I come around to collect fares, both Chinamen put their hands in their pockets as soon as they see me, and it is always a race between them to see who can hand the ticket to me first. I have never known of a case where each Chinaman paid his own fare. They seem to take the greatest delight in offering this little courtesy to one another.

Riding along a road in India I saw the following instance of a big elephant's timidity, which I venture to send you: The elephant, ridden by a mahout, was followed by a small Maltese terrier, which intent on its own affairs, trotted before its master, making occasional instinctive investigations by the roadside after the manner of dogs, without particularly noticing other travelers. From the first moment the elephant set eyes on the dog he never lost sight of him, turning from side to side always with an eye on the small animal and hurrying out of his way whenever he approached. The timidity of the one and the confidence of the other were irresistibly amusing.—London Spectator. The Old Buck Heard.

Byron's Marriage. Swift said, "No wise man ever ried." Byron's marriage was an innacy. The very manner of its ning was insincere, and theatrical friends had been urging him to so he wrote two proposals—"sealed tenders"—and sent them young ladies. One of them declining other accepted. Naturally Byron ried the latter. The rest is known for this part of his life has the preferred strongest criticism. It did with his death, but the evil that lived after him, while the good seemingly "entombed with his wife's existence a purgatory," drove her from his house, even to shake hands with her at the goodbye, and then wrote: Fare thee well, and, if forever Still forever fare thee well! Even though unforgiving, never Gainst thee shall my heart reme A Woman's Work. For thirteen years this woman suffered from a helpless infirmity which baffled skillful medical treatment. She was restored to health in a remarkable manner, and is now helpful to other sufferers. For thirteen years Mrs. George L. Rogers, of West Main Street, Canton, N.Y., suffered from the indescribable tortures of inflammatory rheumatism. Only persons who have been afflicted with this disease know what such suffering is. Those who have never felt the pangs of this ailment have not the remotest idea of its tortures. For years this was an obstinate disease to cure. In recent years, however, there has been formulated a remedy which successfully copes with it. The many cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People attest to that fact. One of the striking examples is Mrs. Rogers' experience. In speaking of it to a reporter she said: "Thirteen years ago I was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism and a complication of diseases. "I cannot begin to describe my sufferings during that time. "You can judge somewhat of what I endured, when you look at these hands." They were distorted, twisted and swollen. My foot, too, is so much out of shape that the big toe lays across the others, the end touching the little toe. Notwithstanding I am sixty-five years old, have a pleasant home and other comforts, life to me was far from enjoyable, for all other things pale into insignificance when you are without good health. "I tried different doctors and many proprietary remedies, but no permanent benefit was obtained. "Last March I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "Before I had finished the first box I began to feel that they were doing me good. "I continued using them and steadily grew better. "I have used thirteen boxes of the pills and to-day feel better than for the past fifteen years. "My appetite is good; I feel bright, cheerful and have a desire to live and enjoy society. "I have been a member of the Methodist church for many years, but for six years unable to attend. "Now I am able to attend the church services regularly and certainly appreciate that privilege. "I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People a wonderful medicine and am confident no other remedy could have effected the wonderful cure they have in my case. "I am glad to state this, hoping that some sufferer may profit by it and obtain relief." It was nature's own remedy that accomplished this cure caused by impure blood, for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are composed of vegetable remedies that exert a powerful influence in purifying and enriching the blood. Many diseases long supposed by the medical profession to be incurable have succumbed to the potent influence of these pills. This universal remedy is sold by all druggists.

The oriental express, the famous train from Paris to Constantinople, arrives at a certain hour in the afternoon. When the train comes in, says an engineer, there are always many dogs to receive it. Before the passenger had time to get out the dogs into the carriages and search everywhere under the seats and in corners of the scrapes of luncheon left by theangers, and when they have found the pieces they go away. The reliable thing is that they never come by day except when the oriental train is due; that they never make a take in the day, and always remember that between Friday and Monday are two days and not one. They no attention to local trains, because or no food is left in them owing to short rides the passengers take.

German Military Honor. "An officer who permits himself to be insulted by a civilian without immediately killing him will be dismissed." This is one of the unwritten clauses in the code of honor obtaining in the corps of German officers. If the insulter is not satisfactionfabig (capable of giving satisfaction)—that is to say, if he belong to the classes who are not wont to fight duels, then the officer must immediately draw his sword and cut him down or kill him on the spot with any other weapon. These laws are nowhere to be found written, yet they are strictly obeyed. At Augsburg an officer in private clothes recently received a blow on the face, without having given any cause of offense, from an impudent business clerk. It chanced that the officer had a revolver with him. He, however, made no use of it, nor did he challenge the clerk, whom he regarded as unworthy of meeting in a duel. Instead of taking either of these steps he had recourse to the courts of justice, with the result that his assailant was sentenced to 12 days' imprisonment. Thereupon the regimental officers' court of honor assembled and compelled the officer to hand in his resignation because he had not adequately upheld the dignity of an officer's rank.—Pall Mall Gazette. He Was Used To It. A young man, faultlessly dressed and not at all ill looking, took a seat in a Broadway car a few days ago, and with the air of one well satisfied with himself, spread out a morning newspaper and commenced to read. A woman near him glanced out of the window, and in turning her head caught sight of his cheek. Instantly she gave a little scream, went to the other side of the car and took hold of a strap. "Did you see the mouse?" whispered her friend, who was also standing. "Did I? Well, it nearly frightened me to death." And the young man with the birthmark on his cheek read calmly on.—New York Tribune. Old Roman Women. Among the Roman women at one period there was a morbid ambition to grow beards, and they used to shave their faces and smear them with unguents to produce these inappropriate appendages. Cicero tells us that at one time to such an extent did the mania for beards grow upon women that it was found desirable to pass a law against the "adornment." Force of Habit. "My friend," pleaded the temperance evangelist, laying his hand affectionately on his shoulder, "we are laboring in a common cause for our own reformation and the good of mankind. Will you join us?"

The very manner of its begin-ing was insincere, and theatrical. His words had been urging him to marry, but he wrote two proposals—sort of called tenders"—and sent them to two young ladies. One of them declined, the other accepted. Naturally Byron married the latter. The rest is known, and this part of his life has the poet suf-ooded strongest criticism. It did not die with his death, but the evil that he did died after him, while the good was seemingly "eutombed with his bones." The world holds as most potent proof his insincerity that he made his existence a purgatory, finally gave her from his house, even refusing shake hands with her at the last odby, and then wrote: Fare the well, and, if forever, Bill forever fare the well! Even though unforgiving, never Gainst thee shall my heart rebel. These words were set to music and Accommodating Road. A bit of dialogue reported by The New Jamaica affords a good specimen of the dialect of the island, and at the same time shows the weakness of the native judgment in regard to distances. "How far is it to Cherry Garden?" "Na too faa, maastah." "Thank you. Where does this road go?" "E go wehevah you wansteh go, sah." "Accommodating road." "Yessah, anywhere you wish, es'" "Does it go to Hope Garden or Constant Spring or Mona?" "No, sah, none o' dem places, sah. It jis' goes wehevah you wants to go, sah, an 'taint too faa." "Rescue on the Brain." A story about a dog, told in an English sporting book, "The Man on the March," brings out the fact that too much praise may be as injurious as too much fault finding. A half bred retriever pulled a girl out of the river-near her home. Of course the dog was much praised and petted, and this brought on what the author calls an attack of "rescue on the brain." No man, no feathered biped, no quadruped, was allowed to go into the river without being pulled out by the dog. Cows were not allowed to drink, ducks and geese were not allowed to swim, and if an angler attempted to wade he was "rescued against his will." Even. "Papa, buy me a pretty doll, won't you?" "By and by, dear. The shops are not open today." A few minutes later papa takes his child on his knees: "Come, Lily, give me a kiss." "Too late, papa, my lips aren't open today; by and by."—Gaulois.

There is so much trouble coming into the world," said Lord Bolingbroke," and so much more in going out of it, that it is hardly worth while to be here at all." If a man and a philosopher comes to this conclusion, what must be the natural conclusion of the thousands of suffering women who undergo untorture in bringing their babes into the world? Philosophy of this kind is based upon gross ignorance. The fact is, that there is no necessity for the severe pangs under-gone by the average woman. If a woman is strong and healthy in a womanly way, motherhood means to her but little suffering. The trouble lies in the fact that the majority of women suffer from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism and are unfit for motherhood. This can always be remedied. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a sure, speedy and permanent cure for all disorders of this description. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned, making them healthy, strong, vigorous, virile and elastic. It banishes the indispositions of the period of expectancy and makes baby's advent easy and almost painless. It quickens and vitalizes the feminine organs, and insures a healthy and robust baby. Thousands of women have testified to its marvelous merits. Honest druggists do not offer substitutes, and urge them upon you as "just as good." "I suffered fourteen years," writes Mrs. Mary J. Stewart, of Box 46, Saratoga, Santa Clarra Co., Cal., with female weakness, nervousness and general debility. I tried everything to no avail.
