PeCuniary independence.

The following story Of the late Silas
Wright, taken from the Daily Wisconsin,
affords q lesson which American youth
and American statesmen would do well to
ponder:
"Slas Wright, with his estate of 81 900
was really weather. than many others are
with 100000. lie owed no man any
thing he met his obligations with the ut
most promptness, and never INDUCED in
any luxury that he could not pay for. He
was modle of republican simplicity. 1t
should also be understood that he was not
mean in saving money. There was some
thing glorious in Witnessing great states
man like Silas Wright never asking Pc
cuniary favor, or even accepting one, yet
possessing only an income that could sup
port him and his wife with frugalty.
When he was elected Governor of the
State of New York, he was known to be
too poor to furnish his house. His rich
friends got together, and, without his
knowledge, made up subscription, which
was rendered him as gift, in order to
furnish his mansion. This he respectful
ly but kindly declined, saying, with true
Roman grandeur, that he could not con-
sent to receive such favor from any one
even from his most esteemed friends
he was elected by the people TO be Gov.
ernor of the State of New York, and he
considered it his imperative duty to live
on whatever income the people had APP
ended to that office; and he did live on
that income while he was Governor, in
good style, but with no osten'ation. Such
an example on the part Of so eminent a
man as he was is one Of those preciou.
legacies that the young men of the pres
ent day should bear in mind-as no true
greatness can ever be achieved so long a.
they are the pecuniary slaves of even their
nearest friends. When public man re.
ceives favors that he can not repay, he
loses that sturdy Independence so essen
tial to usefulness and an enduring popu-
larity. Live within your income" is
more important to one who aims to be ar
influential and useful statesman, than any
other maxim"

Coal BURNING LocoMor1vEs.-Nu
merous unsuccessful attempts have been
made, during the last ten years, for sub
s,ituting coal for wood, as fuel for locomo-
t'ves When it is known that all over
Europe coke is used as successfully as
wood is here, it is not easy to understand
why there should be any difficulty in using
anthracite but practice has shown that
there are many. There are now, mainly,
three different plans for the attainment of
this object, and they are all approved by
competent engineers. In one of these the
novelty consists in making the flames fol-
low curved Aue, instead of going
straight to the chimney; the smoke is
thus more thoroughly mixed with air, and
consequently better burned; there is also
an arrangement to supply the furnace
with warm air. Another locomotive, bas-
ed on a different arrangement to the same
end weighs $4,000 pounds, the driving
wheels are five feet in diameter, the
stroke is twenty-five inches, the boiler is
forty-nine inches in diameter and eleven
and half feet long. The barrel proper.
extending from the fame sheet to the
smoke arch, is seven feet and half long
and forty inches in diameter. There are
l79 brass tubes of two inches outside d.
ameter and seven and half feet long.
The fire box measures sixty by thirty-twc
inches, with combustion chamber extend
ing four feet into the barrel of the boiler
This chamber is divided by water leg
extending from the front of the fire box tC
within twenty inches of the tube sheet
Around the combustion chamber there ar,
apertures which are opened and closed a
pleasure, and by which air can be let il
to burn the gases not yet consumed.

The Wet-Sheet Pack.

The Wet-Sheet Pack.
by CARRIE MAY.
READER, did you ever
Take a wet-sheet pack,
Rolled up like mummy,
Lying on its back.
Wet cloth on your forehead,
Bottle at your feet?
You would truly find it
A hydropathic treat.
Listen, while I tell you
How they give pack
The MoDUs oPERANDI
Is really quite knack.
First, they wrap you closely
In dripping sheet,
A bottle of hot water
Is then placed at your feet
Blanket after blanket
Wrapped about your form,
Confortables in plenty,
Keep you nicely warm:
Firm about the shoulders,
Tight about the feet,
All the sides tucked closely,
To keep in all the heat
Then a cold, wet towel
Put upon the head;
You are packed-and almost
Helpless to the head.
Do not think of stirring
Head, or foot, or hand /;
You must bide your time out
You can not burst band.
Still 'tis quite delightful,
Lying at your ease:
You're in such a happy mood,
Any thing will please.
Acting like a opiate,
Easing all your pain,
Calming down your bounding pulse,
Cooling off your brain
Puts you in slumber,
Gives you dreams Of bliss,
Naught in any " Treatment"
Is so nice as this.
When it all works nicely,
You have charmi ne time,
If you have not tried one,
Reader, do-it's prime.
But, as faithful chronicler,
Perhaps ought to tell,
IT'S not every one you get,
Pleases you so well.
IL you're feeling nervous
Tired-and can not rest,
You'll surely fail to like them,
Though you try your best.
Now perchance the wet cloth,
Placed upon your head,
Will begin to drip-drip-
Drip-upen the bed.
Till to your distracted nerves
The tiny drops will sound,
Large as cannon-balls, that weigh
Net less than forty pound.
But you're very lucky,
If the drops don't steer
In another channel,
And trickle in your ear.
II you should make the effort
To get into doze,
First you know, saucy fly
Has lighted on your nose
Runs his sharp prsboscis
Through the very skin
Delighted with the OUTSIDE,
Takes a sip within;
Sets your nose to itching,
Darts upon your eyes,
Dances ore the lashes,
Your patience sorely tries.
Then he scampers over
Brow, and cheek, and lip,
In your ear finds water
Stops to take a sip.
You twitch the muscles right and left
Work them up and down,
Blow-and try broad grin
Then you try a frown.
All your efforts will not
Start him from his lace,
He's taken such fancy
To your pleasant face.
Then perhaps the bottle,
Tucked up with ysnr feet,
Loses out the stopple,
Water scalding heat.
This has capp'd the climax,
Worn your natieDee out

THE CUBA QUESTION.
from the Philadelphia Inquirer.l

from the Philadelphia lnIurerl
The annexation of Cuba sooner or later il likely to
become of the absorbing questions Of the day Tho
indications the subject not to be mistaken Il is
well known that Mr. Buchanan regards the measure as
that would give great eea to his administration and
trade will doubt afford opportunity for the revival
OF the negotiation for the purchase Of the tecng and
tempting island This idea, moreover, is by no means
new. In April 1909, Mr. Jefferson addressed letter to
Mr. Madison, in which, speaking of the importance of ac
quiring Cuba, he said:
We should then have only to include The North in our
concderacy which would be of course in the first war;
and we would have such empire for liberty as she
never surveyed since the creation; and persuaded
that constitution before well calculated Oh
ours for extensive empire and self-government.
1t will be objected to receiving Cuba that no limit
can be drawn to future acquisitions. Cuba can be
defended by without navy, and this develops the
principle which ought to limit our views. Nothing
should ever be acquired which would require navy to
defend it.
On another occasion the distinguished statesman
held this language:
Our first and fundamental manm should BE- never 10 tanqe
ouo IN the brois Of Earope. Our second, 10 suffer
EUqpe 70 intameddie ,cih cis-A atlantic AFFAIRS
candidly confess that have ever looked on Cuba
the most interesting addition which could be made to
our system of States To control which, with Florida
point this island would give the Gulf of Mexico
and the countries and ishmus bordering on it, would fill
che measure Of our political well-bcing.
But it may be asked what effect would the anncxa.
ton have upon the North and South as free and slave
States Cuba would of course have to be admitted as
slave State and this would naturally produce oppo
ton in the North. compromise, however, could read
lily be effected The North moreover would be disposed
to look kindly upon the enterprise IL thereby the in
iquitous slave trade could be utterly abolished.
