WHAT SPAIN HAS LOST.
HER STORY OF TYRANNY AND SHAME
NEARINC ITS FINAL CHAPTER.
There is Not Much Left of n Kingdom
Which Once Rivaled Ancient lCome in
the Extent of Her Possessions—The
Future Sceuis Dark For Her.
Tho losses of Spain in the war whioh
has just ended in her defeat caunot be
estimated for some time to come, ob
serves the Atlanta Constitution. The
victors do not yet know the full ex
tent of their conquests, and they have
not decided how much of their newly
acquired territory they will find it to
their interest to hold as their own.
The red and yellow flag will disap
pear from the West Indies; from one
of the Ladrones; from Manila, and
perhaps from the entire Philippine
group. The conquerors will now ex
amine these choice job lots of islands,
arranged in nicely assorted bunches,
and take their pick.
Spain is in hard luck. The mills
of the gods have been rather slow in
her case, but they have finished their
work at last, and there is not much
left of a kingdom which once rivaled
ancient Home in the extent of her
possessions. A little more than three
hundred years ago, when the second
Philip mouutod the throne, his fleets
and armies were the most powerful in
the world, and his colonies ciroled the
globe. Both North and South America
practically belonged to Spain. Even
a century later Samuel Johnson asked:
"Are there no regions yet unclaimod
by Spain?"
By discovery, conquest and mar
riage the Spanish rulers rapidly ac
quired territory, but wherever their
generals pitched their tents desolation
followed. In less thafi forty years
after they discovered San Domingo
its population dwindled from 2,000,-
000 to 250,000. In Mexico and in
Peru, Cortez and Pizarro waged a war
of extermination.
Before Philip died he had lost vast
tracts in north Africa. In the next
fifty years Spain lost Burgundy, Naples,
Sicily, Milan, the Netherlands, Ma
lacca, Ceylon, Java, Portugal, Holland,
Brabant, Flanders, Roussillon and Car
dague, and in the snme period she sur
rendered her control of the seas to
northern Europe. After this Gibral
tar, the Woatka sound settlements and
San Domingo were given up. Louisi
ana went next, followed by Trinidad,
Florida, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argen
tina, Banda-Oriental, Paraguay, Pata
gonia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicara
gua, San Salvador, Hayti and numer
ous smaller possessions.
And now Porto Bico is ceded to the
United States; Cuba is freed from the
Spanish yoke, and if we want a few
dozen or a few hundred fine islands in
different quarters of the globe we have
only to say the word.
No statistician would be bold enough
to guess at the value of these bits of
land, but it is estimated that they are
worth not far from 81,000,000,000. Of
course, we should take into considera
tion the cost of the war to the United
States when we finally decide upon
the disposition of the conquered terri
tory.
At present we have no definite
figures. It is nof enough to say
that the Government has spent
8100,000,000 for the army and navy
in the past three months, and will
have to spend hundreds of millions
more in the next year or two in con
trolling the now couutries under our
flag. Among our expenses are the
interest on Government bonds, the
loss in the productive labor of the
volunteers, and then there are other
incidentals. Altogether, saying noth
ing about pensions, it is likely that a
few years from now it will be known
that the war co3t us about $1,000,-
000,000.
It is a fact that the geographers
have very hazy ideas about some
countries. They do not know the num
ber of islands in the Philippines.
Some say 1400, while others say 2000.
Many of these islands, however, are
very small, and a great deal of their
area is not arable. The interior of
Cubn is a sealed book to the geogra
phers. They say that it has never
been thoroughly explored. Maps are
not always reliable. Our Govern
ment maps show that the Louisiana
cession extended beyond the Rocky
Mountains and included the north
Pacifio States. It is only recently
that an order has been issued to cor
rect these maps. If we know so lit
tle of our own country, how can we
be expected to know all about Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines?
When a nation once starts on the
downward road it generally goes at
the pace that kills, and goes to the
very bottom of the hill. Spain has
been traveling this road for more
than three centuries, but she learns
nothing as she goes along. She is as
haughty and as boastful a3 she was in
the days of Philip. About fifty years
ago Buckle, the historian, wrote of
her;
"There she lies, at the further ex
tremity of the continent, a huge and
torpid mass, the only representative
now remaining of the feelings and
the knowledge of the middle ages.
And what is the worst symptom of all,
she is satisfied with her own condi
dition. Though she is the most back
ward country in Europe, she believes
herself to be the foremost. She is
proud of everything of which she
ought to be ashamed."
This pen pioture is just as true to
day as it was when it was drawn.
There is no hope for such a country.
In the near future Spain will lose the
last of her oolonies, and it is quite
possible that the kingdom will disap
pear from the map of Europe. Hei
story of tyranny and shame is nearing
Ms final chapter.
Japan has seven cities with 100,00 C
inhabitants each.
AGRICULTURAL TOPICS
Bulky Food For Ducks.
Goslings and ducklings frequently
show signs of lameness when nearly
full grown, and are also afflicted witii
vertigo. The cause is due to feeding
largely of grain. During warm
weather they will thrive better if al
lowed nothing but grass. All aquatic
birds require bulky substances, and
will not thrive on a diet of concen
trated food.
llnpiil Milking.
It is often said that to get the most
milk requires that it bo drawn from
the udder as rapidly as possible.
There is just this measure of truth in
the saying; The rapid milker will al
ways be the one who has had much
practice aud the muscles of whoso
hands have been strengthened by
long use in [this business. But the
best milker will, because of this
strength of muscle, be ablo to milk
fast without excessive pulling of tho
teats. It will seem to the cow, as in
deed it will be, the strong even pres
sure of muscles that are strong enough
to do their wqrk without injury to the
teat. And when it comes to tho strip
pings at the close of the milking, tho
fastest milker must bide his time.
To try to hurry then will cause the
cow to hold up the milk aud will in
time dry her off.
Blanching Early Celery.
It is best not to try to blanch cel
ery while the weather is hot by put
ting up earth around it. Either the
earth quickly dries out, making the
celery tough and dry, or if wet weather
comes the soil wiil cling to the celery
stalks, rotting thaui. Placing wide
boards on each side of the celery, aud
packing some damp hay in between
the boards and the plants, will ex
clude the light and will blanch the
celery as far up as the beards extend.
The*better way is to have boards wide
enough to reach above the celery tops,
and then place another board over
all, entirely excluding the sunlight.
In warm weather celery blanches
very rapidly. In a very few days
under this treatment tho celery will
be found blanched sulflciently for
use.
Spreading Multure.
As tho work of spreading manuro is
generally done it is a tedious work,
unless one Ua3 a machine for the
work which every fanner ought to
have if he can possibly afford it.
Manure can be spread rapidly and at
a minimum of exjiense by having two
teams and wagons for the work, leav
ing one iu the barnyard to be loaded
while the other is on its way to the
field. In applying the manure to the
land considerable hard labor may be
saved by a little thought. Kemove
the board on one side of the wagon
and pull off the manure in piles at
intervals of twenty-fivo feet each way,
making about six piles from a double
horse load. At this rate about a
dozen loads aro required for an acre,
and by this method of applying tho
spreading can be quickly and easily
done and with much less hard work
than by the old way of spreading from
the wagon.
Fall Planting of Strawberries.
Whether layer strawberry plants
can be profitably set in the fall is an
undecided question among many
growers. From the experience of the
best growers it is generally conceded
good policy to put out extra beds in
tho fall from the home grown plants,
either pot-grown or layer plants, but
when the now plants havo to come
from a long distauco spring planting
of layer plants is thought to give the
best results.
This refers to late fall planting, but
if the layer plants to be sot can be ob
tained early in September and are
strong and well-rooted, they will do
as well or better than spring set plants
and just so much time will be saved in
reaching fruiting. Plants set thus
early will have ample time to make a
good start before the end of the grow
ing season and be in good shape to
pass through the winter uninjured if
they have the proper late winter mulch.
They will also get the benefit of early
spring rains aud give a fair crop of
fruit the next summer, although it
would be better for future crops if the
plants were not allowed to fruit the
first season.
Late SumiLcr Feeding.
Winter aud late summer are periods
that cause poultrymen to do hard
thinking, because at theso seasons
eggs are high in price and hard to get.
It is being generally learned bow it is
possible to increase egg production
during the winter, or rnthor bow to
raise pullets so tbat they will bo win
ter layers; but bow to obtain eggs iu
late summer is quite another problem.
During this period poultrymen have to
contend with moulting as well as with
the natural season of respite after
spring and early summer laying. It
is quite possible, however, to control
the season of laying to a certain ex
tent, through food and care.
While it is admitted that for the
most perfect egg production careful
feeding is necessary, good judgmont
should be used in order to obtain a
combination of foods tbat shall not be
beating or fattening, but egg-forming.
If the morning masb, consisting of
bran, middlings and linseed meal,
moistened with skim milk, is fed in
about half the quantity used during
the winter, it will make a good food to
start with. Green clover cut into
small bits should also be fed liberally
daring the summer. It is rich in the
elements that go into the egg. Dur
ing the day a little grain is scattered
among the chaff to keep the hens busy
scratching, and at night wheat or
buckwheat in small quantities, about
one quart to twenty-five hens, should
be fed. This ration is for hens in par
tial confinement aud will do much
towards obtaining a liberal supply of
eggs in late summer.—Atlanta Jour
nal.
USE FOR OLD-TIME MONITORS.
They Will lie Assigned aa Station Ship*
in Cuban and Porto Uican Ports.
The old monitors of the Civil War
period, having proved their efficiency
in the present war, during which they
have been manned by the naval re
serves of the several States, will be
continued in service ns station ships in
the various ports on the Cuban and
Porto Rican coasts. It is understood
that they will be assigned for duty,
probably in the fall or as soon as the
details of command and muster of men
from the regular force of tho navy can
be arranged. These vessels will be
turned over to the Navy Department
as rapidly as the naval reserves are
mustered out. Two which have been
carrying naval militia from New Jer
sey and Pennsylvania are laid up at
the League Island Navy Yard, Phila
delphia, and tho others are in vnrious
harbors on the Atlantic coast. These
vessels are of two classes, the first, of
2100 tons, consisting of the Ajax, Cau
ouicus, Mahopac, Manhattan and
Wyandotte, and the second, of 1875
tons, comprising the Comanche, Cats
kill, Jason, Lehigh, Montauk, Nahant
and Nantucket. The Comanche is on
the Pacific coast and will not bo in
cluded in the detail for service in the
West Indies.
Every [one r.f the monitors was
overhauled prior to the breaking out
of the Spanish war and put into effec
tive condition, as much as §25,000 be
ing expended on some of them for new
boilers and machinery. Although the
guns in the turrets are of the old
fashioned smooth-bore pattern, the
vessels are provided with modern
rapid-fire and six-inch batteries on
their decks and are really powerful
and destructive machines, capable of
doing good service. They can easily
get in and out of such harbors as
Havana, Santiago, Cienfuegos, Matnn
zas, Cardenas, and Sagua la Grande
in Cuba, aud Ponce and San Juan in
Porto Rico, where'.it is proposed to
send them. They can be employed
for the maintenance of order and pro
tection of life aud property in these
ports as effectively as such vessels as
the New York, leaving the latter free
for wider and more general service.
The monitors are seaworthy, and, for
the purposes intended, as satisfactory
as vessels of greater variety and range
of action.
An Example of True Courage.
"Don't speak to that fellow; he's a
coward."
Two young soldiers of Company F,
of the Seventh, were crossing the pa
rade ground on their way to company
quarters, and one had saluted and
spoken to a comrade passing by.
"Why, the boys in his company all
seem to like him. What's the trouble?"
"There was a drunken fellow in
front of a saloon on Market street the
other night, when this fellow from
Company E came marching up. The
drunken brute called him all sorts of
names and dared him to fight, aud he
never even answered, but turned the
corner and came right over to Mack
and me. I asked him why he didn't
lick the fellow, and he said he didn't
believe in fighting."
" 'I gness you're afraid to fight that
drunken bully,' said Maok. Aud he
just simply said, 'I guess I am.' "
"Well," said the hearer, "hedoesn't
look like a coward."
Of course this story soon spread
through the garrison, and the young
man was made the mark for the scoffs
and jeers of a certain class among his
fellows.
In a little while, however, the regi
ment was called to the front, and his
detractors were astonished to find
their so-called "coward" wns one ol
the bravest of the brave, and by his
gallant conduct ho proved that it was
not cowardice but true manliness that
made him afraid to fight a helpless,
drunken man.—Waverley Magazine.
Bismarck and Society.
Prince Bismarck was often re
proached in later years, when he lived
in affluence, with living the life of a
recluse, neither entertaining himsell
nor showing himself at other people's
parties. The charge was unjust. As
Prussia's Miuister at Frankfurt-on-
Main and in St. Petersburg, he kept
open house, and his board was always
indisputably as hospitably laden aud
as constantly frequented ns that of any
of his colleagues. When he came in
to office, and from then till the day ol
his' departure into private life, his full
attention was claimed by tho mass ol
business that poured into his chancery.
His own herculean constitution, ex
cused from the demands made by so
ciety, managed, with the help ol
waters, mineral springs, and occasion
al repose to his digestive orgnns, to
hold out, while those who worked with
him were used up by scores; but any
attempt to live the life of ordinary be
ings would have infallibly shortened
the days of the man whose labor has
won for Prussia the position she now
holds, and for the Kings of Prussia
the imperial orown.—Loudon Tele
graph.
Extremes Meet.
Those who have noted the progress
of the war with Spain as set fort h in
the elaborate "special despatches'
published in some of the great city
dailieß, will appreciate a conversation
that took place between two chance ac
quaintances on a railway passenger
train about a month after war was de
clared.
"Well, we are coming to my stop
ping-place," said the elder of the twc
men. "I am indebted to you for s
pleasant hour and a half. My name

"Glad to have met yon," replied
the other. "My name is Rogers. I

A POST-MORTEM VIEW.
A Ca.tllUn Expert Write, of United
State. Warship* a. Xlere Tabs.
It seems almost Incredible that the
Spaniards should ever have considered
Cervera's fleet superior to anything wo
could send against it, yet such seems
to be the case. If they believed the
comparisons of tho two navies made
by their ne spapers they are logically
correct in their conclusion.
These articles, says the Chicago
Chronicle, written by Spanish naval
experts, appeal strongly to a credulous
people and represent our warships as
absolutely valueless, while their own
are simply marvels. A. de Canta, the
most popular naval writer in Spain,
makes a remarkable comparison in La
Illustracion Nacional of Madrid that is
quite sufficient to inspire his country
men with confidence.
He admits that the United States has
the larger fleet, but shows that it is
practically valueless. "It 1b manned
by the dregs of an almost worthless
population—criminals and released
convicts. For the most part these are
foreigners without the slightest pa
triotism. The crews, being animated
by motives of supldity alone, are des
titute of that pride and enthusiasm
that control Spaniards." For thes.
reasons, Mr. Canta concludes: "The
result is, therefore, that if our navy
is inferior to the American navy in
quantity it is greatly superior in qual
ty, since our sailors, in addition to
their transcendent bravery, which ii
universally acknowledged, possess dis
cipline, enthusiasm and confidence,
which the Yankees are far from hav
ing."
Having demons'rated the uttei
worthless character of the sailors who
man our ships, the rival of Weyler and
Munchausen in the art of lying goes
on to compare the ships of the two
navies, describing that of Spain as
made up of ships faultless In construc
tion, armored and armed to suit the
queen regent's taste, marvels of speed,
veritable things of beauty.
Words almost fall him when he
makes a sanguinary attack upon our
ships. He declares that the battle
ships Indiana, Oregon and Massa
chusetts, which he calls "cruisers of
the first class," cannot go to sea with
anything like full coal bunkers. If
they should the "waves would wash
over them." They are only suitable
for coast guards. The recent Bailing
record of the Oregon somewhat dis
credits this criticism.
He says the battleships California
and Pennsylvania are under construc
tion, which will be news to Americans.
He declares the Texas to be woefully
deficient. "Her machinery is bad —be-
yond repairing—her torpedoboat tubes
are useless. She is a bad lot."
The only American ship of which
be speaks kindly is the Brooklyn. He
says she is fast and "can, therefore, re
fuse to fight at all," a point which the
Spaniards in the Caribbean appear to
appreciate.

ship. It is an auxiliary cruiser, one
of those Yankee pleasure yachts has
tily transformed into a war vessel."

A Freak of Nature.
The county of Herefordshire, Eng
land, possesses a remarkable freak ol
nature—two trees Joined togethei
about ten feet from the ground bj
what appears to be a single branch. 'A
closer examination shows, however,
that the connection has been formed
by branches growing from both trees;
ihese two branches having met, and
n the course of time, grown together,
(t is probable that these twin trees are
unique in England; at any rate, from
the manner in which the curiosity has
been grown they must be very rare.
The Risk of Being Murdered.
About 1,000 murders occurred in
England and Wales during the last
period of five years for which facts
are available. There were, during the
same time, nearly 1G0.000.000 persons
of all ages exposed to the risk of being
murdered, that Is 80,000,000 in any one
year. The yearly risk of being mur
dered is, therefore, only the very
small degree of probability expressed
by the odds of one to 150,000, and if
a lifetime be counted as 100 years, the
chance of being murdered some time
is only one in 1,500.

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to he
incurable. For a great many years doctor?

local remedies, and by constantly failing l<i
cure with local treatment,* pronounced it In
curable. Science lias proven catarrh to bo a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
