The Flour Trade between Cubn and she
United States.

NEW YORK, May ia letter from Havana,
dated May Sth, says that accounts from Spain are
to the effect that dealers and importers of -four in
that country are not satisfied with the commercial
arrangement between Spain and the United States.
A committee OF -four merchants waited on the
King recently to ask his action in their favor on
account of the intended treaty. The conservative
papers in Havana, which have always defended the
system of monopoly in Spain to the detriment of
Cuban interests, have openly shown that it is the
intention of the home government to reduce the
duty on flour imported from Spain in proportion to
the reduction which duties on -four from the United
States will experience.

LAKE NIINNETONKA.
Minneapolis Summer Saburb-A Dc.
scriPtiOn of the spot which the Hifles
are TO Visit.
,e Of THE EVENING STAR.


LAKE MrNNEToNKA, MAY Goth.
Nature, in Minnesota, sets an example which
happily has been followed by her progressive
people. She does nothing by halves. Early in
March the great body OF snow which had COW
cred the ground since the middle of December
began to show signs OF dissolution. and BY the
last of the month scarcely trace remained.
The farmers commenced their seeding toward
the last of March, the blowing having been done
In the fall, and now the fields are beautifully
green, and the prospect is good for an abundant
harvest.
The charm of Minnesota scenery Is ia Its lakes,
which are found In all parts OF the state. or
these Lake Minnetonka Is Justly celebrated. 1t
ia situated about sixteen miles northwest or
Minneapolis and has been appropriated by that
city and st. Paul as q summer resort for the
wealthy and well-to-do. Many hundred cot
tages have been built upon the bluffs which sur
round the lake. and upon the beautiful islands
which dot Its surface Several large hotels,
among which are the Hotel st. Louis and Hotel
LAFAYETTE, do q iOurishing business. These
hotels are fully equal In every respect to those
of eastern watering places, and are gaining In
popularity every year. The guests are from
all parts OF the country, but st. Louis and
Chicago are perhaps better represented than
any other cities.
The lake is In two parts, connected by strait
and is about eighteen miles long. 1t has very
irregular coast line, with many deep indenta-
tions. and is said to have several hundred miIes
of beach. Beautiful little steamers ply back and
forth between the upper and lower lakes stop-
ping at many points along the shore. On the
both of April the Ice had disappeared, and for
the first time this season the shrill whistle OF
the steamers was heard. Very soon the cot
tages and hotels win be filed and the solemn
stiffness which has prevailed since the early fall
will be broken by the multitude Of pleasure
seekers from all parts OF the country. M.F.

Lest thou regret IL.

Too Many Books.
From the London Society.

We do not deny the treasures Of our libraries
nor the worldwide collections Of the daily press
We wish not the sun Of civilization to 20 back
upon the dial, but are we the happier or the
wiser for it? At least, were our tastes or our
intellects ungratifed before? Certainly not
The mind, like the mill, can only convert GER
tain quantity, and is burdened and clogged with
excess. Hobbies said: ''If had read az many
books as some other men should know as lit

Museum, exclaimed: Had I studied In this
place l should have been too distracted by all
this literary wealth to bring any one subject to
