Smith. +This is a book to be read by children, not to them. A child during +the years of seven and nine is usually hungering for true stories, and +some mothers and teachers try to meet the demand by reading and +telling "true" stories to them. This is well and good, but it is clear +that if this inborn craving could be met by books framed in language +of such limited vocabulary and construction that so young a child +would constantly be invited to the story, how valuable it would be. +This book is designated to meet this end. Less than 750 different +words are used in the entire series, and these, excepting the necessary +geographical names, are all in the commonest use among children. +The stories are of Columbus, Captain John Smith, Miles Standish, +Benjamin Franklin. Mothers and teachers with children of from +seven to nine years of age will give this book a hearty welcome—the +teachers because the market supply is so painfully deficient in this +line, and the mothers because it will so admirably solve the oft-repeated +query of "Mother, what can I do next?" It is so well gotten +out and still so cheap that it should have a large sale.—<i>Mother's +Journal, March, 1898.</i></p> +<hr style='width: 65%;' /> + + + +<div class='bbox'> +<h3><span class="smcap">'Tis the Small Things of Life That Give Pleasure</span><br /> +</h3> + + +<div class='center'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" summary="Dubleook"> +<tr><td align='left'><div class="figcenter" style="width: 107px;"> +<img src="images/dub1.png" width="107" height="150" alt="Bike" title="Bike" /> +</div></td><td align='left'>That's why the<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 1em;">"<big><b>DUBLEOOK</b>"</big></span><br /><br /> +<b><span class="u">EASY</span></b> for Cleaning and Storing<br /> +<b><span class="u">SAVES</span></b> Tires and Enamel<br /> +All Running Gear Free<br /></td><td align='left'> Bicycle<br /> + Hanger<br /> +is PERFECT<br /> +<h2>50c.</h2><br /></td> +<td align='left'><div class="figcenter" style="width: 168px;"> +<img src="images/dub2.png" width="168" height="150" alt="Hook" title="Hook" /> +</div> +<b>FULL NICKELED<br /> +COMPLETE</b><br /></td></tr> +</table></div> + +<div class='center'> +Of all dealers or postpaid of<br /> +<br /> +<b>THE G.W.E.

At this season of the year, when so many of +our readers are interested in the study of botany and +other nature work, the use of the microscope enters +largely into their work—and yet how few people really +understand this most useful instrument. The writer +of this admirable little book very sensibly assumes +that his readers are anxious to learn the subject from +its simplest form to the more complex details, and he +has therefore made a thoroughly useful book. Few +people realize the delight of using a microscope intelligently, +nor do they grasp the true value of even the +simple pocket forms of this invaluable little instrument. +If they did properly appreciate the microscope, +every boy would carry a two or three loop +lens, and find it as useful almost as the indispensable +jackknife.

The Italian peasant barely +succeeds under the most advantageous circumstances +in obtaining food enough for himself and family; consequently +every change in the price of bread is a se<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_734" id="Page_734">[734]</a></span>rious +matter to him; under the present Government +the taxes have become heavier, and this is sure at no +distant date to bring about a crisis; that this crisis +is near is shown by the recent bread riots. The only +hope of averting trouble is a change in the policy of +the Italian Government.</p> + + +<p>Many people in Europe are asking why the price +of wheat continues to advance, as there is apparently +no reason, for the Spanish-American war has created +no increased demand, nor has it seriously interfered +with the shipment of grain. The increase in price is +accounted for, by those who are familiar with these +subjects, on the ground that there seems to be a general +conspiracy to hold back supplies from Europe in +the hope of obtaining higher prices, and in consequence +scarcity is created in certain markets, thus +causing the rise in price both there and elsewhere, +and with each rise in price comes additional reason +for the holding back of supplies on the part of the +speculators who are manipulating the market.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/tb.png" width="300" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /> +</div> + +<p>It is rather interesting to turn from the account of +the riots in Italy to a brief history of Joseph +Leiter's famous wheat deal. This wheat deal, which +has just been closed, is the most remarkable that has +ever been known in the history of the grain markets. +Leiter has not only made himself rich, but has added +to the wealth of the farmers in the West enormously. +Every effort on the part of other speculators to force +Leiter to the wall has been unsuccessful. Last fall +when he was buying, they turned over enormous<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_735" id="Page_735">[735]</a></span> +quantities of wheat, but he seemed to have untold +millions at his command, for he met every offer with +cash, and demonstrated that he had more money if +they could furnish more wheat: the result was that +wheat went up, up, up, until it reached nearly $2 a +bushel, and Leiter has made, it is estimated, over +$4,000,000, or nearly $500 <i>an hour</i> since April of last +year.</p> + +<p>The account of the troubles in Italy, and the great +prosperity resulting from Leiter's success here, simply +demonstrate what has been called attention to +before—that what affects one part of the world has +its influence upon the rest. A contribution from the +prospered wheat farmers (and Leiter) to the suffering +poor in Italy would not be amiss under the circumstances.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> +<img src="images/tb.png" width="300" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /> +</div> + +<p>In our recent numbers we mentioned the trouble in +the Sierra Leone Protectorate. This trouble has +been ascribed to the hut tax; this tax is practically +the only tax levied upon the natives, and it is for the +purpose of raising sufficient revenue to prevent slave-trading. +The trouble in this colony has arisen indirectly, +not directly, as a result of this tax, as the +slave-traders have used it as a pretext for stirring +up the rebellion among the natives. England for +many years has been doing her best to suppress +slave-trading, and the slave-traders make use of any +grievance, imaginary or otherwise, in their attempts +to overthrow the power of the white men, in order +that their barbarous man-hunting may not be interfered +with. Several men-of-war have been sent by +England to <ins title="Transcriber's Note: original reads 'Sierre'">Sierra</ins> Leone, and are to be reinforced by<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_736" id="Page_736">[736]</a></span> +others; troops have also been sent to the assistance +of the missionaries and others whose lives are endangered +by the uprising of the natives.</p> + +<p>Day by day news from this district becomes more +alarming; all of this part of Africa is at the present +time in a state of great excitement, and it is expected +that great difficulty will be experienced in suppressing +the revolt. Early in May, the rebels attacked the +American mission at Rotufunk and killed five of the +American missionaries—Mr. and Mrs. Kane, Miss +Archer, Miss Hatfield, and Miss Schenck. Their +bodies have been recovered.</p> + +<p>The hut tax, which has been made a pretext for all +this trouble, amounts to about one shilling a year for +each member of the population, or, in case of families, +five shillings for each family. The insurrection was +started by a native chief who has given the colonial +government much trouble heretofore.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> +<img src="images/sub.png" width="400" height="112" alt="Submarine" title="Submarine" /> +</div> + +<p>During the latter part of May there were first +rumors, then reports, and then confirmed reports +that the Spanish fleet was at Santiago, Cuba, +and that it was caught as in a trap by our war-vessels.</p> + +<p>The harbor of Santiago is a deep one, with a very<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_737" id="Page_737">[737]</a></span> +narrow mouth, as stated in a recent issue of <span class="smcap">The +Great Round World</span>. The Navy Department feels +extremely happy over the locating of the Spanish +fleet and the fact that it may be kept where it is for +the present; this will make possible the invasion of +Cuba and the carrying out of the general plans of the +campaign without fear of having them interrupted by +attack from the Spanish vessels. Santiago is not +very well supplied with provisions, and it will be but +a question of time when the Spanish fleet must either +force their way out of the harbor or else surrender. +It is to be hoped that the capture of this fleet will be +accomplished without battle, for battle will mean a +large loss on both sides, and it can have but one ultimate +outcome. The inevitable may be deferred, but +the United States is pretty sure to win in the long +run.</p> + +<p>One or two of our battle-ships or monitors stationed +at the entrance of the harbor will be sufficient to prevent +the exit of the Spaniards, even if we do not succeed +in so blocking the channel with obstructions as +to make exit impossible; this will leave the rest of +our fleet free to operate elsewhere. Great vigilance +will be exercised to prevent the Spanish torpedo-boats +from running out and attacking our vessels under +cover of darkness. The entrance to the harbor is so +narrow that a patrol of small boats can be established, +making such an attack almost impossible.</p> + +<p>Cables connecting Cuba with the world outside are +being rapidly located and cut, and by the time this +paper goes to press Cuba will no doubt be cut off entirely, +and we will cease to see reports from Madrid of +what is going on in Havana and elsewhere in Cuba.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_738" id="Page_738">[738]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 138px;"> +<img src="images/tb2.png" width="138" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /> +</div> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 100px;"> +<img src="images/news.png" width="100" height="91" alt="Latest News" title="Latest News" /> +</div> + +<p>May 31st Commodore Schley made an attack +upon the forts at the entrance to the +harbor of Santiago, with the intention of +ascertaining the position and strength of +the fortifications. At one o'clock in the afternoon +of that day the signal to form column was hoisted +on the <i>Massachusetts</i>; the <i>New Orleans</i>, <i>Iowa</i>, and +<i>Vixen</i> followed her as she steamed slowly toward +the harbor entrance. When between three and four +miles from shore two of her 13-inch guns were fired; +it is reported that one of the shells struck the +partly dismantled Spanish war-ship <i>Reina Mercedes</i>, +crashing through her bow and killing a number +of men; two shots followed quite near the same +vessel; the two guns in the forward turret sent their +projectiles so close to the Spanish flagship that the +spray was thrown all over her. The shore batteries +at this time began a rapid fire on the <i>Massachusetts</i>, +but she was soon beyond their range. The fire +was then turned on the <i>New Orleans</i>; the shells from +this vessel struck the large battery on the hill above +Morro Castle, and a great cloud of dust and débris +rose in the air as the shells burst. They must have +done considerable damage; the shells which followed +sent portions of the wall of Morro Castle tumbling +down, a mass of ruins. Almost every shot found a +mark in either the batteries or vessels. It was the +<i>Iowa's</i> turn next; her shells made things lively for +the Spanish fleet in the harbor, although it is believed +she was not successful in hitting any of the Spanish +vessels. The little <i>Vixen</i> swept along after her predecessors, +and banged away with her one 6-pounder<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_739" id="Page_739">[739]</a></span> +with as great an air of importance as if it had been a +13-inch rifle; then she steamed away in a triumphant +manner, as much as to say: "I have done my share." +The commodore promptly ordered her to keep out +of danger. The ironclads turned, and a second time +bore down on the harbor, and when within five miles +the shells began again to fall thick and fast around +the Spanish vessels, although accurate firing was +almost out of the question, as the vessels were behind +the hill out in sight, and range could not be ascertained. +The Spaniards kept up a brisk cannonade +long after our vessels had stopped firing; a tremendous +amount of damage was done—to the Caribbean +Sea; their shells did not come within a mile of our +vessels.</p> + +<p>June 3d the auxiliary cruiser <i>St. Paul</i> returned to +New York, after a two weeks' cruise in West Indian +waters; she had been detailed for guard and scout +duty, and was one of the first to discover the Spanish +fleet in Santiago Bay. She left Key West May 18th, +and arrived off Santiago about the 20th. The St. +Louis had been detailed for similar service, and had +been watching Santiago harbor with the expectation +that the Spanish vessels would attempt to enter there; +she, however, left on the 19th. It is supposed that +Admiral Cervera must have entered the harbor in the +twenty-four hours between this date and that of the +arrival of the <i>St. Paul</i>.</p> + +<p>As it was advisable that her whereabouts should not +be discovered to the Spaniards, the <i>St. Paul</i> cruised +backward and forward about twenty miles out; she +kept this distance off shore in order that the Spanish +torpedo-boats might not make a dash out of the har<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_740" id="Page_740">[740]</a></span>bor +in the darkness and torpedo her. It was not +until the 23d that anything was seen of the Spaniards. +Captain Sigsbee is quite confident that on this date +he identified the <i>Vizcaya</i>, the <i>Christopher Colon</i>, and +several torpedo-boat destroyers within the harbor; +they were evidently making preparations for departure, +but were too late, as our fleet under Commodore +Schley reached the harbor before they could get away.</p> + +<p>The only excitement that the <i>St. Paul</i> had was the +capture of the collier <i>Restormel</i>. The vessel was +sighted very early one morning about five miles from +the harbor entrance, running with all speed to obtain +the protection of the batteries on shore. The <i>St. +Paul</i> was too quick for her; crowding on all steam, +the collier was soon overtaken and stopped by a solid +shot fired across her bows. A prize crew was put on +board and the vessel sent to Key West.</p> + +<p>The <i>St. Paul</i> is off again; her destination is, however, +a secret.</p> + +<p>Another "great victory" was reported by the Spaniards +on June 4th. In the despatch from Madrid it +was stated that one of our most powerful vessels attempted +to enter the harbor of Santiago de Cuba and +had been blown up by a torpedo and sunk, her crew +of six men and one officer being captured. There was +something very inconsistent about the statement +"most powerful vessel" with a crew of six men and +one officer, but apparently the Spaniards overlooked +this. The fact of the matter is that Admiral Sampson +decided to close the harbor effectually, and in +order to do this sent the collier <i>Merrimac</i> to the entrance +of the channel and had her sunk there.</p> + +<p>This brilliant exploit was planned by a young offi<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_741" id="Page_741">[741]</a></span>cer, +Lieut. Richmond Pearson Hobson, who with +seven volunteers carried it out in a most gallant way.</p> + +<p>At this distance and without experience of the fearful +effect of modern gunnery, we cannot appreciate +what a dangerous errand these brave men undertook. +To sail close under the guns of many batteries and +forts, through a narrow channel known to be mined, +was to face death, and almost sure death—an act +which will make their names famous. Yet when volunteers +were called for, every man stepped forward +and begged to be taken.</p> + +<p>At three o'clock Friday morning the <i>Merrimac</i> +started. In the darkness she succeeded in getting +well in shore before she was discovered; then shot +and shell made the water white with spray all +around her. But the brave fellows never flinched, +and on they sailed until the narrowest part of the +channel was reached. Down went the anchor, and +soon a dull report in her hold told of the successful +explosion of the torpedo which was to blow her +bottom out and make her sinking certain.</p> + +<p>The crew left and succeeded in clearing the vessel +before she went down. But two are reported to +have been wounded, and these but slightly. All were +captured and taken to Morro Castle.</p> + +<p>The great bravery of the gallant fellows was recognized +by Admiral Cervera and he sent a boat with +a flag of truce to advise Admiral Sampson that the +men were safe and would be exchanged. This act of +the Spanish admiral has won for him a feeling of +great admiration in this country. It was the act of +a noble man.</p> + +<p>The Spanish fleet is not only bottled up now, but +the cork is in the bottle.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_742" id="Page_742">[742]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 138px;"> +<img src="images/tb2.png" width="138" height="16" alt="Divider" title="Divider" /> +</div> + +<h2>THE FLAG.</h2> + +<p>Many questions have reached us from subscribers +and friends concerning the meaning and reason +for the stars and stripes on the United States +flag, and how the United States came to choose the +colors and design of the flag.</p> + +<p>Early in Revolutionary times, each colony had its +own flag, and they were very varied in design, and some +had strange designs. The colony of Massachusetts +had a pine-tree on its flag. South Carolina had a rattlesnake +on a yellow flag, and underneath the snake +the motto: "Don't tread on me." New York had a +white flag with a beaver on it; and Rhode Island a +white flag with a blue anchor.</p> + +<p>Many variations of the "stars and stripes" are +found in the flags used during the first years of the +Revolution. Some have red and white stripes, with +the field (where the stars are in the flag we all know) +like the field of the British flag—red, white, and blue +lines crossing one another. This design in the corner +of a flag is called its "jack," and is often used +alone.</p> + +<p>In 1777, Congress declared that the flag should +have thirteen horizontal stripes and thirteen white +stars on a blue field, each representing one of the +thirteen States. The idea of the adoption of the +grouping of stars and stripes was doubtless taken from +the arms of the Washington family, which consisted +of a white shield with two horizontal red bars, and +above these three red stars.</p> + +<p>It was the original intention to add a stripe and a<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_743" id="Page_743">[743]</a></span> +star for each state admitted to the Union, and the +grouping of the equal stripes was supposed to represent +the unity of the Federation. In 1792 the stars +and the stripes were both increased to fifteen on account +of the admission to the Union of the States of +Vermont and Kentucky, and, after this, others were +added. In 1818, Congress decided to return to the +original thirteen stripes, and to add a star for each +new State, which plan has been followed since. The +three colors, red, white, and blue, symbolize valor, +purity, and truth.</p> + +<p>The United States has but one national flag, which +is flown alike on buildings, men-of-war, and merchant +vessels, and to us Americans its purity and beauty +appeal strongly.</p> + +<p>A number of the foreign nations have different +flags, known as the royal standard, the war flag, and +the merchant flag. For instance, Spain has the three. +The colors of Spain are red and yellow. The navy +flag consists of three horizontal stripes—yellow in the +middle, and a narrower red band at top and bottom. +On the yellow band near the staff is a coat of arms +surmounted by a crown. The merchant flag is made +up of five horizontal stripes—a yellow in middle, a +narrow red, then a narrow yellow, and then a broad +red above and below. The colors, red and yellow, +were the colors of the royal house of Aragon, whose +fortunes were closely allied with the Spanish crown. +The royal standard of Spain is an elaborate affair, +divided into four parts, containing the heraldic +arms of leading families of Spain, and many +devices indicating the control of Spain over countries +which it once held sway over, but which<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_744" id="Page_744">[744]</a></span> +have long since been lost to her, as Holland, Portugal, +etc.</p> + +<p>France uses the "tricolor," a flag of three vertical +equal stripes, red, white, and blue, the blue being +nearest the staff. France has undergone many political +changes, and this, the flag of the Republic, was +adopted in 1789.</p> + +<p>Germany's national flag has a white ground, divided +into four parts by black lines—one broad black +line and a narrow one on each side. At the centre is +a circle containing the Prussian crowned eagle. The +upper quarter, by the staff, is divided into three equal +horizontal stripes, black, white, and red, and on these +is a Maltese cross—the iron cross of Germany.</p> + +<p>The German merchant flag has red, white, and +black horizontal stripes.</p> + +<p>Flags have grown by custom and international law +to represent nationality. If they are insulted the insult +is to the nation. In war they are protected by +lives, and in peace they pass around the world, or float +from their staffs on land—marks of their nation's +strength and supremacy.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2>SELECTED LIST OF NEW BOOKS</h2> +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + + + +<div class='center'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" summary="French"> +<tr><td align='left'><h2>FRENCH</h2></td><td align='center'><b>WITHOUT A MASTER.<br />ENTIRELY NEW</b></td></tr> +</table></div> + + +<div class='center'> +<b>Pitman's Practical French Grammar</b><br /> +</div> + +<div class="adpar"><b>and Conversation for Self-Instruction.</b> The latest and most successful method +for learning and teaching <span class="smcap">how to speak french</span>, with <span class="smcap">imitated pronunciation</span> and +copious <span class="smcap">vocabularies</span>. <b>Price, paper boards, 40 cents; cloth, 50 cents, postpaid.</b></div> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>"A book of great value to those who would master French without a teacher."—Prof. <span class="smcap">J.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/18745-h/images/bikenight.png b/18745-h/images/bikenight.png Binary files differnew file mode
