Mausers but un daunted by its perils the men went at it with a will and succeeded in doing all that was expected of One of greatest disadvantages under which the battle was fought on our aide was the result of the of black powder the smoke from which blinded our men enabling the enemy at the same time to accurately deter mine tho location of the Americans and direct their volleys accordingly On

Undaunted by the terrible and reception they met Friday General men at daybreak Saturday morning resumed their fierce assault upon the Spaniards in Santiago They pressed forward to the attack with an

grim determination confident of taking Santiago before nightfall Less than a mile lay between them and the citys inner defences To the northeast American troops were pressing in between and Santi ago

Commonsense rules in dress and manners the name as in any phase of our lives and this our young men should learn and understand writes Edward of What makes a Gen tleman in the July Ladiea Home Journal A mans manners are not exterior they emanate from within from himself Experience and obser vation are the only teachers he can seek and use Etiquette books are no use to him A young mans progress and favor in the eyes of others does not depend upon his being ostenta tiously correct in manner movement and speech His strongest and most lasting hold upon tho respect and con fidence of people comes from some thing deeper He must not be boor ish or slovenly nor heedless of feelings of others It is his duty to carry himself well according to his best intincts and not by rule as laid down in etiquette books So with a young mans dress At twenty we do not expect our young men to devote so much time to their clothes that they shall be correctly dressed upon every occasion Such useless knowledge is at that time of life acquired at the expense of far more important matters The taste for good dressing and its knowledge so far as it is comes to all of us as we progress The right sort of a young man dresses in the neatest and best manner he can and as well as his income permits That is always good dressing To overdress ones station in the world is always poor taste and invariably makes a bad impression I never yet saw a young man who either hired or borrowed an evening suit for a special occasion who did not loudly proclaim the selfevident fact When a young man wears clothes his means he invariably shows it and he never fails to make a ford of himself This rule is invariable It is not what a man wears but how he wears it that tells the story The Editors Shears CL1PP1XOS

Americans The official of the killed and wounded in yesterdays fight aggre gates 1000 The losses of the Spaniards were en ormous Some idea of their losses can be gathered from the fact that dead were

pipe It is possible to make a pail of water boil without putting it on the fire and without applying external heat to it in any way In fact you can make a pailof water boil by simply stirring it with a wooden paddle The feat was recently performed in the ysica laboratory of Johns Hopkins Univer sity in Baltimore and one may do it with a little trouble and per severance All you have to do is to place your water in a pail it may be ice water if necessary and stir it with a wood en paddle If you keep at it long enough it will certainly boil Five hours of constant and rapid stirring are sufficient to perform the feat suc cessfully The water will after a time grow warm and then it will grow hot so hot in fact that you cannot hold your band in it and fin ally it will boil Professor Ames of Johns Hopkins annually illustrates of the phenomena heat by having one of his students perform the trick in front of class It is a tiresome job but it is feas ible point which Professor Ame3 wishes to illustrate is what is known as the mechanical equivalent of heat It requires just so many foot pounds of work to develop a given quantity of heat By turning the paddle in the water at a regular speed it is possible to find out just how much work is re quired to raise the temperature of water one degree The best measure ment so far made and in fact the one which is accepted as the standard of the world is that which was meas ured in Johns Hopkins University Heat is developed in almost any substance which is subjected to con tinuous or very violent action It is an old trick for a blacksmith to forge without fire Long continued and violent hammering on two pieces of wire will heat them to such an extent that they can be welded together A lead bullet if shot directly at a stone wall will develop heat enough by tho contact to melt and fall to the ground a molten mass There are other occasions wherein this mechanical development of heat becomes mani fest blacksmith Webb-
