The review was held and It was Indeed a most thrilling sight to witness one company of soldiers after another march by and then pee galloping the sturday men and then tearing along with olatter and fury the grim cannon of the artillerymen. Gen. Bubb and Governor Heyward with their staffs tirst inspected the troops that were lined along the held as far as the vision reached, then they took their places for the beauti ful review. .. First came the 17th Infantry with Its line band, Ool. Yanarsdale, of this regiment, took his pl&oe next to Gen. Bubb and Governor Ileyward. Then came the three regiments of Georgians, then the 2nd South Ctrollna, then the regular cavalry, and the artillery. After the review the cavalry and artillery gave a thrilling exhibition o. horsemanship and drilling. It is such exhibitions as this that make Arnerl cans think all the more of their country. The 21 South Carolina, under Col. Thompson, made a tine showing. It Is a flue regiment. Col.

Influence of Certnln liny* of Ll^bt on Varluua DIhvhin. now far the use of color may nfTect the public health or oven act as a cure for particular diseases Is once more receiving the attention of certain sections of the medical profession. In a medical journal It was recently contended that certain colors have a favorable effect upon sulferers from phthisis, and It was recommended that consumptives should carefully select their clothing with a vlow of employing only those colors that are Inimical to the disease. The theory Is that certain rays of light have a bactericidal effect and therefore the clothing should be of suoli colors as will allow free access to the beneficial rays. Obviously this theory Is no new one, for It Is the basis on which the late Dr. Finseu reared Ida memorable "light cure" for lupus and similar diseases. Finseu himself was led to his conclusions by the practice of medical men who employed various colors In the cure of disease long before the modern germ theory had been evolved. More than thirty years ago I)r. Pancoast published a very curious hook, entitled "Rlue and Red Light." In this volume are detailed many cases of cures effected by the employment of different colors. Tinted Illustrations are given of the doctor's blue and rial rooms, In which the patients, dressed In gnrments of either color, recline on couches directly under the sunlight filtered through blue or red glass. ANOTHER ALPINE TUNNEL. New Hallway I.Ine Planned to Pleree the Uernene Alps. Consul Keene writes from Geneva that since the Slmplon tunnel la.. l> *en [ opened to tralllc the subject of the linos of nccess to the new International railroad Is being constantly discussed in Switzerland* "Besides the Faucillo line through the Jurn rauge, near Geneva, which has been talked about for years past, a 1 new tunnel through the Borneso Alps between the Canton of Berne and the | Canton of Valals, from which the Slmplou line passes to Italy, Is under active and practical consideration. The board of directors of the committee having that now enterprise In charge held a general meeting recently and unanimously approved the project submitted by Chief Engineer M. Zollinger for a line to pierce tho Bernese Alps under the I.otsehherg. Electrical traction will he used and the new tunnel will be ?S *2-5 miles long. The total cost Is estimated at $10,984,000 at the outside. "A Franco-Swiss syndicate of leading bankers and engineers, at tho head of which Is the firm of .T. I/IIoste & Co. of l'arls, have pledged themselves to submit within two months from now their formal contract for executing tho work." A Cnniplnpr Convonlonof, | Ono of the most Ingenious novelties of the day for (ho special comfort of the outdoor enthusiasts Is the folding table and camp chest Invented by a Frankfort (Ky.) man. The table when taken down folds Into the form of a rfn FOL.IUNO TABLE. box or chest of considerable capacity and is equippe<l with carrying handle. The table top will easily accommodate four or six persons, and the box when folded ready for carrying weighs less than fifteen pounds. It can then be stowed under the sent of a buggy or boat. Perishable goods for the lunch can be stowed Inside of the l>ox. Cuttle DyprotlnctN. Cattle furnish, besides food, no end of articles In common use. Your toilet or laundry soap Is made from their grease; the curled hair In your chair and the bristles In j'otir Rhoo brush are from their tails. As for the steer, again, your combs are made from his horns; your toothbrush handle and the mouthpiece of your pipe were once part of his thigh bone; your knife handle comes from his shin bone; the buttons on your coat ami your wife's hairpins are from his hoofs; neatsfoot oil represents his sinews, and the prepared food yon throw to your chickens Is reduced from his blood: also the pepsin you buy at the druggist's fs made from a pig's stomach: the grease extracted from the wool of sheep after slaughter Is converted Into potash. Oak From Cooonnntn. Gas from ooeoanuts Is the latest HTumlnant. The coal of the Philippines has been found unsuitable for gas making purposes. The government, therefore, has been experimenting In the labors* torles and has found that a gas of great Illuminating power may be produced l>y a very simple method from cocoanut oil. The oil Is slowly fed Into retorts which are already red hot. Here It volatilizes very rapidly, leaving a small residue of tan Bulk for bulk, the oil has a much greater productiveness In gas than coal, and for this reason It Is expected that. If the supply can be made to meet the demand, it will be greatly used all along the Pacific coast THE BI11T1I OF WORDS A WEALTH OF EXPRESSIONS FROM THE HUMAN BODY.

Index, indicate, predicate, from a Greek word tor linger, mean that which points out. So oraclo and orator rofer to what comes out of the mouth. Audience, audible, auscultation, the auditing of accounts, originally after a "hearing" of the officials, are traceable to the ear. Spirit means tho breath and is also found in conspire, "to breathe together;" Inspire, "to breathe in," and even In perspire, "to breathe through." Impediment Is something against the foot. Ell, tho cloth measure, Is the length of the forearm. The hair In capillary attraction means the power exerted through the capillary or hulrliko t it lies.

Cvatoua That Itcmlnri One of (k? rarii'CN ot llttmbajr, Burial customs in Cuba arc almost ns strange as the Pur see customs ami their towers of silence In Bombay. It seems that the reopening of graves in Cuba Is the result of a long established custom of burying as many bodies as possible In a single grave. The cemetery routine Is like tills: First some one, usually the head of a family, buys a plot. He at once sets to work digging his own grave ami graves for all the members of his family. lie digs several graves six feet long for adults and one grave four feet long to provide for the possible death of a child. When the entire area of the plot is thus In open graves the digger turns mason and plasterer, lie cements each grave, bottom and sides. Then he tills in the cemented graves with soil and goes home with the satisfactory thought that he may look upon his own grave during his lifetime and that it is ready for him at any time he Is ready for It. But the weirdest part of this custom Is yet to be told. In tho middle of the plot a square grave Is dug, a hole about six feet ouch way. This square hole Is cemented like tho graves and filled in with soil. It should he explained hero that tho bodies in tlie graves arc covered with quicklime. When the flesh has disappeared and only tho bones are left the bones are taken out of the grave and thrown Into tho square hole In the center of the plot. Thus the graves are used over and over again until (he square hole In the cento, is filled with the hones of the members of this or that family. Then the hole is scaled over, and that par ticulnr family plot is abandoned and a new one purchased.?London Tit-llits. BE A BUSINESS MAN. I)* Not lienor** the Money Side of Your Vocation. No matter what yonr vocation may be, you must be a business man lirst or you will always bo placed at a great disadvantage in the practical affairs of Ufo. Wo cannot entirely Iguoro the money aide of existence any more than we can the food side, and the very foundation of a practical, successful life is the ability to know bow to manage the money side effectively. It is Infinitely harder to save money and to Invest it wisely than to make it, and if even the most practical men, men who have had a long training in scientific business methods, find it a dlllicult thing to hold on to money after they make it, what is likely to happen to people who have bad practically no training in business methods? If every child in America had a thorough business training tens of thousands of promoters, long headed, cunning schemers, who have thrived on the people's ignorance, would be out of an occupation. I believe that the business colleges ii i ?7 milling nil- ^irillOl DlfSMIIIgK 111 American civilization today, because they have saved thousands of homes from being wrecked and have made happy and comfortable tens of thousands of people who might otherwise tie living in poverty anil wretchedness. ?Success Magazine. \Vliy I?yca (irl Ileil. The eyeball contains a high percentage of blood, and why, therefore, Is It white? The answer Is that the blood vessels which supply Its surface are so exceedingly minute that usually they do not admit the little red corpuscles to which the ordinary rod appearance of the blood Is due. Blood without these corpuscles Is colorless, or, at most, of the falntost yellow tint. But occasionally when the eye Is Irritated or when there Is any slight or considerable derangement of the system certain of the little vessels enlarge sufllclently to allow the corpuscles to enter, thereby producing the well known red streaks or inflamed appearance of the eyeball. Tli mi Km I'or Foml. A pretty table observance in Danish families Is for children, even little ones | who can scarcely toddle, to go gravely ufter dinner to salute their parents and say, "Talc for mad" ("Thanks for the meal"). Even visitors shake hands with their host and hostess and go through the same formality. In German fatal- j lies that hold to tradition the same cue- | torn prevails. When the evening meal Is ended the party stand up around the table and each shakes hands with the neighbor, saying, "Gesegneto Mahlzelt" ?blessing the food. Liiiiiliioiin Plunta. In his book entitled "Luminous Plants" Professor Molisch explains the j light which is often seen radiating from : tumps of old trees. It is due to microscopic animals, fungoids, which on a diminutive sculo have the exact form of mushrooms. These parasites live only so long as sup and strength re main In the wood. Similarly the "phosphorous" light on the surface of the sea comes from the animals which lire on the seaweed. A Hnllivajr Drill.
