Montreal Gazette: The slapping of Geu. Shafter’s face by Sy!vester Scovil is

about the greatest sensation of the Cuban campsign, aud something the like of which has never been heard of before. A drumhead court-martial, a blank wal! and half a dozen files of soldiers would have been the end of the tning not long ago, and might in some armies be theend of it now. Whatever Gen. Shafter may think, it is too grave a matterto be let off witb- Out severe punishment. which the press can ‘nd no extenuation for, even if extenuation were sought. It is a disgrace, aud isthe more difficult to ac- count for because the assaulter is a man of experience, and more than usual ca;a- sity.

The Tallest Landmark In the World. The most important island in the Ca- nary group is Tenerife, whose famous mountain is known to navigators as one if the most imposing landmarks in the world. The mountain rises 12,182 feet nhove the sea, the peak having the form a sugar loaf. Considering the fact that the island is itself a mountain, springing almost perpendicularly from the ocean, the bottom of which is six miles below, Tenerife is the loftiest peak in the world. Beside it Mont Blanc is a pygmy. Cotopaxi, Kiuchin- junga and Mount Everest dwindle by comparison. While all the islands are volcanic and all ¢ontain evidences of very recent action, Tenerife is the only ene which still continues in eruption. The summit of the mountain is a cir- cular wall, inclosing a crater a milo in diameter and over 100 feet in depth From the offing, and even from the sea- shore, the sides of Tenerife seem as though carved by hand, but the im- mense size of the mountain is in pro- portion to this crater, although it seems incredible to the looker on that at the mountain top there should be one of the largest craters in the world. The great crater of Tenerife has been quiescent ever since the island was rediscovered by Europeans early in the fifteenth cen- tury, but in scores of places on the mountain side there are smaller craters which continually emit sulphurous steams and guses and occasionally throw out small guantities of lava-

AN EPPING FOREST.

Mr. P. Anderson Graham, ia Long- man’s Magazine, mentions the regretta- ble fact that all but the commonest

wild flowers are disappearing from Ep- | in

ping forest. Not only dotbe urchins pluck them, but the venders who go about the suburbs offering roots and flowers for sale carry them off whole- sale. The primrose has in this way been practically cleared out of the forest, g has the onse common Solomon’s seal, and the foxglove and others are very nearly extinct. If the anemones, blue- bells and violets still survive, it is only owing to the fact that they grow ia such astonishing numbers that the arm- fuls carried away make no differenoe The most obviously thriving and multiplying quadrupeds in the forest, Mr. Graham mentions, are the rabbit and the squirrel. Hares occasionally make their form in the heather or fern. The small carnivora are as plentiful as might be expected where vermin are protected as much as game. Stoats and weasels are the most common. So far the rarer marten and polecat have not been tempted back to their old haunts Foxes are occasionally to be seen. Mr. Buxton introduced a few pairs of badgers 10 or 12 years ago, and they have bred and prospered. Rats, mice, moles and ‘‘such smal deer’’ havea

Sabbath Worship of the Shakers,

**Sabbath worship is usually conduct- ed at the public church, where visitors from the world are free to attend,’’ writes Madeline 8S. Bridges of the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y., in The Ladies’ Home Journai. ‘Four sis- ters and four brethren stand in the cen- ter of the room and form a double quar- tet. The Shaker dance, so miscalled, is in reality a more or less stately march, in which all the members join—the brethren in a procession, two by two, followed by the sisterhood in like order. They move in step to the hymns they are singing, either slowly or quickly, as the measure of the time demands. The ritual is of the simplest—testimony of faith fervently uttered by those who. feel impelled to speak, a few earnest words of exhortation from the elders; the march and the singing of hymns.

‘**Something curious in regard to these Shaker hymns is the fact that they are claimed to be largely inspirational—the music and words come together ‘as gifts,’ and frecuently to those who are | not musical. For instance, very often a tap will sound on the door of a musical sister and an unmusical sister will en- ter with the announcement, ‘Sister, a song has justcome to me. Can you take the words and note it for me?’ ”

Irish Relations,

A curious peculiarity of the Irish na- ture is the wide limits to which rela- tionship is extended. ‘‘Do you know Pat Meehan?’ a peasant was asked. *“‘Of course I do,’’ was the answer ‘“‘Why, he’s a near relative of mine. He wance proposed for my sisther Kate. ”’

When faction fighting was rife in Ireland, it was a man’s interest to ‘‘in- er’ase his followin’’ by extending the number of his relatives by every possi-

dead in Ireland, and a man has no need now to have behind him a long line not of ‘‘ancestors,’’ as Sir Boyle Roche would say, but of ‘‘relations,’’ as was imperatively necessary when the ‘*bhoys’’ were accustomed to ‘‘hould dishcussion with sticks’’ at every fair. It is after he is dead that his relatives *‘come in handy’’ tothe Irishman. They give him a ‘‘grand buryin.’’

‘*Well, Mary,’’ said a friend of mine to a domestic who had been attending a ‘‘buryin,’’ ‘‘had Mat Maloney a good funeral?’ ‘‘Oh, he had a grate wan, sir,’’ said Mary. ‘‘An why wouldn’t he? Wasn't be related to the whole of the barony? Faith, it reminded me of a land l’ague meetiuo.’’—Letter in Lon- don Spectator.

A Mean Insinuation,

Two ministers were discussing the attendance of their parishioners at wor- ship. One was bemoaning the indiffer- ence of the people to the church, com- plaining bitterly of lack of attendance at nearly al) the churches inthecity. It mattered not how well the sermons were delivered—the people still declined to attena.

‘‘I venture to state,”’ said one, ‘‘if I were to advertise that two monkeys would perform in my pulpit next Sun- day evening the church would be crowded. ”’

**Yes,’’ replied the other reflective- ly. ‘‘Two would’ be better thaa one,

How Spain Paid Columbus,

A curious discovery has been made in the archives of the Spanish navy— the bills of payment of the crews who composed the caravels of Christopher Columbus. The sailors, according to their , class, received from 10 to 12 francsa | mouth, including their food. The cap- tains of the three large caravels had each 80 francs a month. As for Colum- bus himself, who had the title of ad- tuiral, he was paid 1,600 francs a year.

ENGLAND ON THE AMERICAN

(Scientific American. ) Although the achievements of our pavy the brief uine ty days of the war speak for themselves and stamp the quality of our ships and men as second to none, it

would be mere affectation to eav that we

are insens.ble tothe instant recoguition which our brilliant success bas received at the hands of the English people. | This recognition upani-

» or alt Baa ; mous anda togetber spontaneous for ua to

has been too ipstant,

loubt for a sacument Wisi it represenis the national sentiment. It is well known that the ideas of the English people are reflected with great fidelity in their lead- ing journals, and the following comments on the Santiago engagemeot will be of “p cial interrs. The Saturday Review remarked :

“It is impossible not to feel a certain pride in these achievemehts of mep of our ownrace. Every Eoglishwapn, ‘oo, wil! remember that it was the possession of this same quality—the fine marksmanship which the Americans display—which gave us victories both onland and sea; and something peculiar and noble bap- pened in this fight which showed ina far higher way the kinship between the two peoples :

“Don’t cheer,’ shouted Captain Philip ‘the poor devils are dying!’ Itseems to us that this expression of tender, sym pathetic humanity is jast as fine as the ‘kiss me, Hardy,’ of the dying Nelson.”

In the course of a lengthy review ef the fight, The Spectator said:

“Thewhole performance of Admiral Sam peron’s fleet. was in accordance with the best tradittons of the Anglo-Saxon navies, aud every Evglishman has read of their doings with a flush of pride. There was the same old, bard pounding as the Eliza- bethan seadogs used, the same curious mixture of st adinese, daring, coolness and reckless dash Tbe moral aspect of what was almost the first and of what may be the last fleet action between the Spanish and English races is very much alike. In both cases it was the man behind the gun who, in the last resort, won the battle.

“The battle shows that the American navy is @ most efficient fighting machine. We did not need to be told that here. We knew italready. They, however, did not know it on the Centinent, though they apparently know it now, For ourselves we have little doubt that the American fleet could tace even that of France with~ out any great risk of disaster, in spite of the fact that, by the rules, the French fleet isten times stronger. We believe this could be done if it were needful; but it won’t be. as America won’t be attacked by France without our taking ahand in the game. Sampson, Dewey, and the officers they have the happiness to command are able to destroy French ships of vastly superior power, just as we did a hundred years ago.

As for the German and American navies there cao, of ccurse, be no comparison. The Germans are fine sailors and brave men, but a naval struggle between the United States and Germany would be very short ani very complete.”

The Speaker remarks: ‘The greatest credit iv dne te the American navy for the manner in which this operation has been carried out. Like the exploit of Dewey, the sea fightat Santiago bas proved that the British sailor bax. in his American kinsman a worthy ally and rival. So far as ber fleet is concerned, America need not fear comparison with any country ip the world.”

It will he seen, that the Engl'sh people who follow all naval operations aud devel~ opment with a feverish interest, have been quick to recognize that the secret of our success lies in our excellent gunnery. The

’ estimate of our ability to face the French

fleet, “ten times stronger” than Our own, makes too much both of our own prowess and the numer cal suj eriority of the French Their fleet is not ten times nor even three times as strong 48 our vwn. If it be taken as three times as strung in ships and ma‘erial, we agree with The Spectator t hat the personal element would probably, as in the last century, more than offset the difference,
