A CRITICAL TIME During the Battle of Santiago. SICK OR WtLL, A RUSH DAY AND NIGHT. The Packers at theßattle of Santiago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the Day. P. E Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago, de Cuba, on July 23d, says: We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there w uld have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the goop fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life." The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberiain Medicine Co., DesMoines, lowa. For sale by L. Taggart. sept Truth wears well.

Ifo Waa Kudo and Willing to Re InsuH ing In Pari lament. The princo used to prepare himself for answering questions putin parliament. Ho was very indignant at the practice and at the meeting of the ministry when the matter was discussed declared, "1 must speak straight out, and should like to be as rude as possible without being in sulting." lie made use of several expres sions, asking the minister of justice if thoso were insults. The minister, beinn conscientious, was obliged to say yes. Then the prince grew angry, exclaiming that in that case it would be better that he should not answer .at all, but leave it to Camphausen, the vice president of the council. Ilerr von Tiedemann describes the office hours in the chancellery, which began early and ended late. At that time Princo Bismarck rose only toward noon. Ho worked hard from 12 to G and again from 9 till late at night. Tiedemann sel dom left his office before 1 a.m. It was not easy to read to the prince. He demanded a suscitating extract—as ho called it—of everything, and declared, however complicated a matter might bo its kernel might be extracted in a few words. His subordinates gradually ac customed themselves to speak in and Tiedemann often condensed more than a hundred paragraphs into the space of ten minutes, but the preparation for such a report had cost several hours' study. As soon as tho reading was over Bismarck gave his decision without a moment's re flection. It was astonishing with what certainty ho hit upon the important points. Never did he hesitate, but always knew what ho wanted. If anything did not in terest him, ho said, "I)<> what you like." lie wrote very little, preferring to dictate. Since Killmann's bullet grazed his right thumb ho had found it awkward to hold a quill pen. Ilis method of dictation was strange Ho spoke in jerks, sometimes with 1011/ pauses and then so rapidly that it was difficult to follow him. Ilis thought and expression wore so rich that he frequently uttered two or three tautological phrases and then said, "Please choose the most fitting." As he might never bo interrupt ed—for, strange to say, ho then lost the thread of his thought—it was all the more diflicult to follow him. Blucher did this more readily, for 110 was a stenographer, but Tiedemann was not, and so he seldom could write a whole sentence, and had to bo content to catch tho most important turns of speech, sometimes only a single word. Afterward it was his business to work tho sentence out. Lcipsigcr Noue Nachriehten. THE CUBAN WATER MONKEY. One HI list lie ,an Kxpert to Drink Frc«ii It Cirucofiilly. The Cubans have a domestic utensil called a "water monkey" that is to be found in houses, hotels and offices. It an swers the same purpose as the olla in Mexico and the clay jugs of India. It is made of gray porous clay and is manufac tured in Malaga, "where tho raisins come from." By absorption and evaporation a blanket of cool air surrounds tho jug continually and keeps the water almost as cold as if it contained ice. In a country where ico is both scarce and expensive these jugs ai" indispensable. The water monkeys have two apertures, one about the size of a dollar, through which water is poured into a glass. On tho opposite side is a protuberance with a small hole running through it. From this the experienced Cuban drinks without touching it to his lips. When about to drink, he holds it two or three inches from his mouth, into which tho tiny stream of water pours. Gradually and slowly 110 lifts tho monkey away from him allowing tho water to flow from the monkey down his throat. Occasionally the drinker gulps, and when his thirst has been satis lied ho returns the monkey toward his mouth, then suddenly tips it up, shutting off tho stream. It takes considerable ex perience to drink out of a water monkey gracefully. The beginner sends a stream of water down his nock instead of his throat four times out of five until he has mastered tho art.—Exchange. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1898.
