The foundation of all lasting pro-
gress in Cuba must be hygiene. To
establish promptly and maintain in-
telligently, in cities like Havana, a sys-
tem of sanitation wholly foreign to
their history and at variance with the
lifelong habits of the people, is :1 her-
culetm and costly task. If the more
intelligent and influential of the
Cubans could be persuaded to study
the work thus far done in Santiago
by Gen. Wood—with its significance
in commercial revival and growth——
there would soon be less of Cuban dis-
content at American control in the
islands.

in Cuba will be recognized by advance-
ment to the rank of Major General of
the army before his retirement.

A French doctor professes to be able
to preservi- any dead person for statue
purposes. The petriiyi‘nxg process con-
sists in plunging the body into phonic
acid, washing it in a Solution of nitrate
of silver, and then leaving it for a cer-
tain period in a galvano-pl‘ustic bath.
The result is the deceased, exactly as
he or she was in life, but transt'm'incd
into hard stone, instead of yielding
flesh. The hair, eyelashes and wrlnf
klcs remain. the only trouble being the
loss of brilliancy in the eyes. This
defect, however, can be remedied with
glass eyes. It is a little too Ahorrilrlc
to picture the petrified bodies of emi-
nent persons fastened to pedestals or
placed across petrified horses, for the
adornment of a national metropolis.
Besides, surely posterity can be con-
tentezl with the biograph and the pho-
nograph, if they want to recall any
of us to memory as “we once was."
Rank for rank, the naval officer gets
less than the army officer. A rear ad-
miral gets $0,000 to a major gcncral's
$7,500; a commodore $5,000 to a brig-
adier general’s $5,500; a captain $4,500
to'a colonel’s $4,500; a commander $3,-
500 to a lieutenant colonel’s $4,000.
Here an apparent change is to he no-
ticed. A, lieutenant commander gets
from $2,800 to $3,000 to a major’s
$2,500 :to $3,500; a lieutenant from
$2,400 to $2,500, compared with an
unmounted captain‘s $1,800 to $2.520:
a lieutenant, junior grade, gets from
$1,800 to $2,000, while a first lieutcn
ant, unmounted, gets from $1,500 to
$2,100; an ensign'gets from $1,200 to
$1,400, while a second lieutenant gets
from $1.400 to $1,550. The difi‘ereucc
noticed in favor of certain naval offi-
cers is due to thezfact that the lowest
amount of pay the army ranks is
that of the “grad , ;” each army officer
is entitled to an increase of pay for
each five years he serves in the army,
while a naval officer is entitled to only
one increase, which comes after serv-
ing‘five years in one grade. So a lien-
tenant, promoted lieutenant comman-
der, after twenty-five years in no:
navy, begins at $2,800, and after five
years gets $3,000, while a captain pro -
meted major after twenty-five year:-
gets $3,500 to start with. l

ST TOUCHED LINCOLN'S HEART.
Dian \Vhat He Could Not Doan
President.
A gentleman of Chicago, a veteran
of the civil war. tells an anecdote in
the life of Abraham Lincoln as re-
lated to him by Schuyler Col-fax.
One day on his way to the executive
mansion Col-fax came upon an old man
just outside the capitol grounds, look-
ing‘so dejected and miserable that the
genial Speaker stopped and spoke to
him. The old man then be‘gge-d for
aid in getting an audience with the
President. as so far his efforts had
been unavailing—and added that it
was a case of life and death.
Colfax, moved by the old man‘s dis-
tress, brought him, trembling rwith con-
flicting hope and fear, directly into
the great and kindly presence. \Vitl-
out wasting a moment upon prelimi—
naries. the petitioner plunged into the
heart of his troubles—an old story
now grown sadly familiar to the Presi-
dent’s ear. Briefly, his son had been
sentenced to death for having slept at
his post. He had relieved a sick com-
rade the night before, and overworn
nature had succumbed. Lincoln listen-
ed, all tlic kindness of ‘his great heart
reflected in his eyes; but he had :11.
ready issued-so many pardons for this
offense that it was beginning to have
a demoralizing influence upon a most
important part of the service. and
Congress had thought best to give the
power of continuing the death sen-
tence directly to the Generals in
charge. In this particular (use. too.
Butler had written the President,
strenuously urging him to turn a deaf
ear to any one pleading for the offend.
er’s pardon. as the discipline of his
army absolutely required an example.
\Vith a troubled air. therefore. Lin-
Did as a
coin said: “My good sir, I would give
anything I possess for the power to
help you. But the President himself
is powerless here. I am under orders
not to issue another pardon for this
particular offense. Too much‘ depends
upon the vigilant sentinel. I sympa—
thize deeply with your sorrow, but
must refuse your request.”
“So that is all the President of the
United States can do for me,” filtered
the old father.
“All," rcplicd Lincoln.
The old man stood motionless in the
deep silence that followed the Presi-
dent's ultimatum. Then, taking a step
forward. he said: “The President of
the {Tuitcil Stulcs has done his duty.
Now, I want to hear from Abe Lin—
coln. Put yourself in my place. your
son in my son’s place. Then what
would you do?"
After a minute of intense thought
Lincoln‘s face took on an expression
of radiance as he exclaimed:
“Butler or no Butler. here goes!”
And seizing his pen be rapidly wrote
two duplicate orders. handing one to
the petitioner, who read:
“Sentence in case of Prlva to ———~—— of
regiment is not to be executed
until further orders from the execu-
tive office."
“This.” said the broken-henrtcd fath-
er. “only postpones the agony. If thi-
boy must be shot the snow the bet-
ter.”
“My friend." said r-Tl Abe. taking
him by the hand. “if your son doesn’t
(lie until further orders for his dc-
cease are issued from this executive
office he will live to a green old ago.”
