The ease of transmission from an 1m I plenicut of luistiandry to a weapon, and the fearful effectiveness of the machete when employed against hu man flesh Instead of sugar-cane or log wismI has made this great cutlass from time Immemorial an important factor in private quarrels In Cuba, and tho patriots were not slow to perceive its advantages. It was the one weapon with which every peasant was famil iar with. Kvcti had these poor moun taineers been versed In the handling of firearms, the supply of the latter was so precarious that a large propor tion of their troop* would have lieen quite useless hut for the cutlass; and a terrible foe have these machete-men proved themselves In dozens of en counter*. It requires a sufficient amount of bravery to stand up before a line of guns helehlrig out finmo and death, i but In a hand-to-hand struggle, such as ls-eomes lucvlahhlc with these great knives, personal activity and physical Strength are tried to the utmost; and the lender* of the Insurgents are forced to originate a system of tactics quite at variance with the rules of military *eloin*-. mere were rcw wotinuen after the libeidy battle* of Caoae, To blte or Kan Oeronltno, for the Cuban*, having crept through the lone graxa, their machete* held betwixt their teeth, would await In breathle** al ienee the approned of the KjxihiHh troop*, and the anddeniie** of the Kprlng from the ninbuaeaile left no time to alioot: It became cutlaa* a gainer bayonet on the lnetant. and :he etitla** generally did It* work bet ter.

'Die Spanish generals have tried the experiment of arming their troops also with the machete, but It was found to be almost useless In the hands of the inexperienced, and the insurgents have still a monopoly of Its terrors. The mere about of "A1 machete" has been known to create a panic In the enemy’s columns, and It is dreaded with rea son, for there is preserved in the Mad rid Museum of Artillery a rifle which, during the ten years’ war, was cut squarely lu two, wood steel and all, by a single stroke of a cutlass.

The drat entry was •'opium," unnnl moualy indorsed. At the second entry the rote was a tie between "mercury” and "quinine," and now that tbe bi chloride of mercury has been found to be the most efficient of microbe-killers, probably that would have second place unanimously ,and the third would be unhesitatingly given to tbe various ex tracts of the hark of the several vari eties of the cbichona, of which the most familiar is quinine, a name de rived from that uaed by tbe Peruvian Indians .who called the treea kina. The old-fashioned method of admin istering was by macerating the "quills" of bark in wine, and tbe great tonic In the early part of the century was "bark and wine," and as in these latter days It has been demonstrated to be di rectly fatal to the baclllu* malaria, we can easily understand what a boon ii was to the settlers In the underdrained and “fever-and ague’ ’regions of this country when new.
