Music and Health. Music, If we are to believe ancient historians, has produced sonic very extraordinary effeets. The fierceness of Achillea was allayed by playing on the harp; Damon, with the same Instrument, quieted wild and drunken youths; and Aselepiades in a similar manner brought back seditious multitudes to temper and reason. The Corybantes and effeminate priests of Cybele were incited by music to cut their own flesh. Pindar addressed his harp thus: Thou quenchest the raging thunder." Music is also reported to have beea efficacious in removing dangerous liseases. Alirandola observes, in explanation of Its being appropriated to inch an end, that music moves the spirts to act upon the sonl as medicine does the soul by the body. Theophrastus, in his essay on "Enthusiasm," reports many cures upon this principle. The Thebans used the pipe for the cure of many disorders, and Zenocrates is said to have cured several madmen. The bite of the tarantula is said to have oeen cured by music, and the Phrygian pipe was recommended py many of the indent fathers as an antidote- to sciatica. We could enumerate 'many other instances of the estimation, amounting is it would seem to palpable superstition, In which music was held among the ancients, but the above may be considered sufficient.

Barcom-t's Gardener Peraevered Until He Betel-red SUOO Yearly Increase. Sir William Harcourt is said to be remarkable for a pronounced horror of llttl worries. This trait in the character of the great parliamentarian often leads, according to Cassell'a Saturday Journal, to ridiculous scenes at home. For instance, on his Hampshire estate he employs an old gardener who firmly believes that his master Is afraid of htm. This old servitor, th'nfetg his vrnge insufficient, determined to jelve notice, but notwithstanding that he waylaid Sir William in all parts of the groumls, and waited for him round corners, and stood on the housestep in the mornings, he never got any further than "If you please, Sir William " before the latter would fidget nervously, turn his back and hurry away. But the gardener's opportunity rame. One fine morning, when standing upon a high ladder pruning a elimliing ruse. It occurred to him that he was Just ontside Sir William's dressing-room, and that be had better take the bull by the horns and give notice through the window. The hitter was open, and peering cautiously Into the apartment, the gardener espied Sir William leisurely brushing his hair. Thereupon, be commenced in a lond voice, "If you please, Sir William, I wants to tell you that I don't think as I can stay ." He got thus far when Sir William precipitately fled into the next room. That day the minister left for London, and in the course of the week the gardener received a brief note, on Uouse of Commons paper, saying simply: "Your wages are Increased 20 a year. Harcourt." This missive is treasured in a little cottage, where small grandchildren have already grown to render additional honor to their grandfather on account of his successful dealings with a great ex-minister of the crown.

PUT LIFE INTO WAX Making Soil Demands Skill in Anatomy, Drawing and Modeling. "How long does it lake to make out of these?" said the manufacturer in response to an inquiry. "Weil, it depend) entirely .upon circumstances. It is a mechanical operation, the finishing off of a wax model, as true of life as this," and he pointed "to the bust of a laughing child, whose rosy neck and bright eyes" were framed by clustering curls. "To make these one must have studied anatomy as well as drawing and modeling. We begin in the same way as a sculptor would to make a statue. After the wax has cooled the eyes are put in, the face is 'made up,' as theatrical folks say, and the wig is fastened on, and the wooden body is shaped. We make all our bands and feet front life, and they cost about $10. "If we have an order for an entire figure we always model it from life. The life-size wax figures of infants are among the finest things we manufacture, and they add much to the attractiveness of a show window, as was illustrated last winter, when a Washington street retail fleaier displayed one during the holiday season. The head and shoulders, such as are seen in the milliner's windows, cost from $40 to $45. The wig makes considerable difference in the price, as wo use the best hair, and It Is expensive, especially the natural blond, which is scarce. The children's heads cost $20, or thereabouts. "All the finishing o9 bnnglnablc," h continued, "would not make a figure stand the test of a season behind the glare of a glass unless the wax hae a natural pink tinge. The reason some of the models look so deathly is because the wax is bad and uot properly colored. We use beeswax, slightly colored, and flesh tints are put on in addition." Boston Transcript

TO LEAVE PORTO RICO.

Gen. Miles to Send Home All Troopa Not Needed. Orders have been issued directing Gen. Miles to send home from Porto Rico all troops not actually needed for service there. No point has been designated as yet for their disembarkation in the United States, but an examination of several sites is in progress. It is desired to secure a healthful camp and at the same time one where disembarkation can take place at once without any delay such as occurred at Montank. The United Stales transport City of Macon arrived from Montauk Point. She left Santiago Aug. 15 with the Seventeenth infantry for Montauk Point. The transport Seneca, Captain Decker, also arrived from Montauk. The Seneca left Santiago Aug. 13, with the Fourth infantry, and arrived at Montauk the 18th.

BARRED BY HAYTI. Permission to Establish American Weather Station There I Refused. Early in the summer steps were taken by the administration to establish a chain of weather bureau stations in the West Indian islands and Central America, so that the approach of hurricanes originat ing in those waters might he announced to shipping on the Southern coasts. This was the weakest point in the weather bu reau service, as sufficient warning of the approach of these tropical storms could not be given, owing to lack of informa tion. The various Governments within whose territory it was proposed to es tablish stations readily gave consent, with the single exception of Hayti. While the specific reason for her refusal is not given in the correspondence between Minister Powell and the Haytian foreign office, it is undoubtedly due to a fear on the part of Haytians that the establishment of the station at Mole St. Nicholas might be the beginning of territorial acquisition there by the United States.

HE BLAMES SHAFTER. Castillo Gives Cuban Version of Dispute with Garcia. Brig. Gen. Joaquin I. Castillo, who accompanied Gen. Shafter to Cuba as the representative of the Cuban army, returned a few days ago on one of the Government transports to Montauk Point, and has submitted his report to the Cuban junta in New York. Gen. Castillo made a statement concerning the disagreement at Santiago between Gen. Shafter nnd Gen. Cnllxto Garcia, in which he alleges that the American commander voluntarily promised to turn over the city to the Cubans when it was captnred, and then broke that promise. He says that till the trouble could have been avoided if Gen. Shafter had been less brusque in his manner. Gen. Castillo makes a denial of all the charges that have been made against the Cubans.

MORE SHIPS FOR DEWEY. Asiatic Pqnodron to Be Made StrotiR Knoujfh for Emtri. fey. Admiral Dewey's squadron at Manila is to be re-enforeed. At least three or four of the crack vessels of the North Atlantic fleet are to be sent to Mauila in the near future. They will go by way of the Suez canal and will reach Asiatic waters in the early fall. The details of the eastern squadron have not yet been completed, but It is known that the battleship Oregon, the fast cruisers New York and Brooklyn, and, possibly, the battleship Indiana, are to be overhauled and put in shape for the trip. The ostensible reason for sending four big fighting vessels to the far cast is that Admiral Dewey's ships, having been in commission so long, cannot be properly docked and cleaned for months.

1VAT DOWN ARMS. Followers of Agulnnldo Hove Been Ordered to Besin Planting Rice, AguinuMu'n mljuutnt, Infnntc, says tliut the insurgent leader has ordered his men to lay aside their arms and to plant rice for future war necessities. The situation growing out of the half hostile attitude of the insurgents to the Americans is improving. Aguinaldo, who had control of the city's wnter works, has permitted the use of the water without it being necessary to compel him to do so. Gen. Merritt has relinquished the military command at Manila to Gen. jOtis and has assumed his duties as milit y governor.

SAN JUAN HARBOR OPEN. Trade with the Capital City of Porto Rico Resumed. The harbor of San Juan is now open, and foreign vessels may enter at any time. The ship sunk in the entrance of the channel to keep the Americans out has been partially removed, and a passageway 2(15 feet in width is left open. Preparations for the evacuation of the city ure progressing rapidly, and the Spanish soldiers are anxious to return home. Merchants mid manufacturers are anxious for the Americans to take possession of the city.

ARMY WILt, AID CUBANS. Miss Barton's Offer to Distribute Supplies Declined. The Red Cross Society will not have rharge of the distribution of relief supplies to the destitute Cubans, owing to the opposition of the subsistence department. The subsistence ollicers say that the law authorizing the distribution of food does not permit the work to be done by any person or organization outside of the army. The offer of Miss Clam Itarton, therefore, has lieen declined.

Reducine Our Auxiliary Flee t. Our auxiliary fleet is to be immediately reduced to actual requirements. Some transports nrc to lie sold, and others kept. The American liners St. Louis, St. Paul, Yale and Harvard are to lie returned to the company owning them. The finest colliers will become a part of the navy. The revenue cutters will be returned to the Treasury Department.

Sleep In the Clinrches. Geu. Jaudenes cables from .Manila complaining that the Americans have monopolized every available housing pluce, and the Spanish soldiers are obliged to sleep in the churches. Gt-n. Jaudenes describes the men as literally lying in ln nps. Garcia Is Out of Army. Calixto Garcia, the insurgent leader who had trouble with Gen. Shafter at Santiago and tendered his resignation to the Cuban Government, has handed iu his resignation for the second time, and it has been accepted.

Rainy Season Now On. The rainy season in Cuba has now set In with a steady downpour. Our troops therefore are moved from Santiago mine too soon, as physicians are all agreed that the condition of the men, already deplorable, would have lieen greatly aggravated by the rain and consequent iuereuse of malarial fevers. Blanco Ordered to' Fight, Blanco informs the Madrid Government that the Cuban insurgents continue attacking the Spanish everywhere. In consequence of this report the council instructed Gen. Blanco to resume an offensive attitude toward the Insurgents only.

Santiago Schools to Open. Gen. Wood had a conference with the Santiago commissioners of schools in regard to the opening of public schools to the 4,000 children of the city of school age. The result of the conference is that the schools will be opened early in September. Dewey Can Dock His Ships. Ambassador Hay has informed the State Department that the British Government lias directed the authorities at Hong Kong to grant the request of Admiral Dewey for permission to clock his vessels there.

TERMS OF SURRENDER. Conditions Upon Which the Capitula tion of Manila Was Agreed On. The terms of the capitulation of Manila as agreed upon by commissioners repre senting the two forces on the field, as cabled to the War Department by Maj. Gen. Merritt, are in harmony with the plan of the peace protocol signed In Wash ington the day before the surrender took place. The Spaniards give up control of Manila and its suburbs, which the Ameri can army is to control until the conclusion of a treaty of peace between the two na tions. All public property and funds are to be turned over to officers of the United States. On its part the American army is obligated to protect the inhabitants, their private property, their churches, their re ligious worship and their educational es tablishments. The American authorities will proceed to exercise control In Manila, therefore, until provision shall have been made by treaty for the final disposition and government of the islands. The term of capitulation facilitate the carrying out of the provisions of the peace protocol. As the capitulation was for "the city and defenses of Manila and its suburbs"' it is to lie presumed that the Spanish will con tinue to exercise such authority in other portions of the islands as the insurgents will permit. The term "suburbs" is in definite, and in case of need for activity for the sake of preserving order might warrant the United States in exercising authority over a considerable portion if the island of Luzon, on which Manila is situated. WIL1. EXPLODE ALL THE MINES. First Duty of Admiral Fanipaon on Reaching; Havana Harbor. The President has Instructed Admiral Sampson that his first duty after proceeding to Havana will be to demnnil the surrender of Morro Castle and the keys to the mines in the harbor. Sampson is instructed to explode all the mines, leaving the harbor safe for the entrance of American warships, which are to keep peace during the sessions of the commission to Havana. The commisson will probably meet on the New York. The lioard will not discuss the Cuban debt nor the question of public improvements. All improvements of every nature, according to the President, go with the surrendered territory. Siege guns nnd heavy armament in the fortifications must remain as at present. Only field artillery and Mausers may be taken from the island, and then only at the discretion of the commissioners. About the only question to be settled by the eommissoners is the removal of the portable Government property, and sending home of the Spanish soldiers. The latter undertaking is by far the greater of the two, and a large fleet of transports will be required to laud all the soldiers on Spain's short?. WANT TO GO HOME, Now that War Has Ceased Onr Volunteers Desire to Quit Camps, Now that the war with Spain is at an end the volunteer soldiers (or at least a mnjority of fhem) want to go home. Life I" the various military camps, now that the possibility of fighting Spaniards has disappeared, has become more irksome than ever. The only chance for diversion that is left for the troops is to he sent to Cuba or Porto Hico to do garrison duty. This would soon become as monotonous as camp life iu this country, and a man who is not constitutionally lazy lias uo desire for a three or six months' loaf in some West India town where lassitude is one of man's characteristics. Sickness in camp, too, has had a tendency to c reate a feeling of homesickness among the men. Then there are thousands who feel that they should be at home attending to business. They enlisted in the service ot the United States to fight the enemy, and now that the enemy has been subdued, they would like to go home. DIE FROM HOMESICKNESS. Fatal RAVctw of Nontnlaia Anions Troops in Cuba and Porto Rico, Homesickness mid fevers are shown to have a worse effect than bullets among the troops invading Cuba nnd Porto Hico. The lack of mail facilities, for which the Washington authorities are blamed, ha caused anxiety and distress in the army. Sickness has been bred in all the principal camps in this country and ou some of the transports. The neglect to provide suitable hospital facilities nt the front has caused many deaths, and for this there is strong criticism of the military authorities. SAFE IN MANILA. Transports Peru and Pucbla Reach the Captured City. The American transports Pern and Puebla, having on board Gen. Otis mid Gen. Hughes, arrived in Manila Sunday morning. There was no serious illness on board either of the vessels. This addition to the military forces under command of Gen. Merritt raises the total garrison iu the Philippines to about 14.fH.HI men. It is expected at the War Department that more regiments will be sent from San Francisco ns toon as the transports can be provided. SPAIN'S MILITARY BOARD. Names of Commissioners Arc Sent to the State Department. M. Thiebaut, secretary of the French embassy, has notified the State Department of Spain's selection of the following commissioners for Cuba and Porto Hico: For Cuba Maj. Gen. Gonzales Parado, Hear Admiral Pastor y Landcro. Marquis Montorc. For Porto Rico Maj. Gen. Ortega y Diaz. Commodore of First Hank Yallarino y Carrasco, Judge Advocate Sanchez del Aguila y Leon. SCHLEY AND EVANS ILL, Admiral and Captain Are Both Suffering with Fever. Admiral Schley is suffering with fever. His attendants arc the only ones who are 'permitted to see him. Captain lCrans has also joined the ranks of the sick. Hi- is suffering with fever and is unable to leave his bed on the Iowa.

PRISONERS THANK SHAFTFR. Spanish Privates at Santiago Congratulate American Army. The War Department is in receipt of a congratulatory farewell address to Gen. Shafter and his army, which Is signed by Pedro lipez de Castillo, a private ot Spanish infantry, on behalf of ll.OMil prisoners ciuluirked from Santiago for Spain. After congratulating Shafter and the army on their magnificent victory, the soldiers extend their "'everlasting gratitude" for their humane treatment. WMI Keep Ships. The War Department has decided to retain in the service all the vessels it bought on the Atlantic coast for service as transports. These vessels, as soon as they can be spared from the service, will be refitted into model troopships. There are fifteen of these vessels.

A Prophecy of the War. Poor Cuba had suffered at the vary threshold of this great and free country for more than a century before any ac tive Intervention was undertaken by the United States. Outrage after out rage had been piled upon American citi zens who resided there or undertook to trade at her ports. The present war ought to have been fought fifty years ago, and it is a long, sad commentary on the too peaceful conservatism of the past that the first man killed In front of Santiago in June, 1898, was the grandson and namesake of the Secre tary of State who held back the hand of justice in 1870 when the Virginians af fair stirred the American people to in dignation. It seems to prove that Whether the war was deferred or not it must come in spite of the conserva tism in spite of the cost of life and money. The thought that It would come was present in the minds of many, and in one instance at least seems to have been developed into a basis for action. Many residents of our city have noted in the street cars among the advertising signs which are so prominently dis played a series of cards which refer to naval and military lines, and which have a double interest at the present hour. Although they were placed in the cars over a year ago, before the Spanish war was thought of, their test in not a few points seems to foretell with ac curacy some of the relations of the war.

THE PROPER

AMMUNITION with which to resist flt, Is SAPOLIO dirt is Sapollo. The campaign in Cuba has resulted in a loss of life on the battle-field of about one hundred and fifty, while every evidence points to the probability that double that number of deaths will result from the yellow fever scourge, which largely originates from the Spanish lack of cleanliness. No less a statesman than James G. Blaine stated publicly that one hundred millions would be a cheap price to pay for Cuba If by proper sanitary measures we could prevent the annual score of yellow fever along our coast.

The advance of civilization is marked by the sale of SAPOLIO If, as these active advertisers assert, the advance of civilization is marked by the use of Sapolio, there should be a good market for their useful article in the Spanish possessions which have lately fallen under our control. Whether they were prophesying or not, their an nouncements are brisk and timely, and the advice they give is like the Ameri can arms irresistible.

New Products of Wood. It is uot generally known that over CO per cent of wood may l-e converted into liquid. The strongest hydraulic pressure would uot squeeze one-half of 1 per cent of moisture from dry wood, but by putting the same ma erial into an Iron retort and converting it Into charcoal by means of heat, the gases and smoke, to the extent of fully 05 per cent of the weight of the wood, may be condensed into a liquid called pyroligucous acid, and from It are obtained wood alcohol, acetate of llrao and wood tars. A cord of wood weighing 4.0(H) pounds produces about 2,ij0 pounds of p.vroligneous acid and 700 pounds of charcoal. The pyroligneous acid from one cord of wood produces nine gallons of SL' per cent cri:de wood alcohol, 2iK pounds of acetate of lime nnd about 'Si gallons of tar, besides E5 bushels of charcoal. After the pyroligneous acid Is neutralized with lime the wood alcohol is distilled off, the lime holding the acetic acid in solution. After the separation of t'ae wood spirit, the remaining liquid W boiled down n open pans to a sugar, which is dried, and becomes the acetate of Una- of commerce. Ace

tate of lime is used for making acetic ! ncid. Fully three-fifths of all the wood ' Mleobol and acetate of lime produced i
