The Iowa courts have made an import
ant decision regarding the civil rights of
colored people, A negro who was re-
fused admission to place of amusement
because of his color appealed to the law,
when the circuit court held that it did
not appear from the averments that
plaintiff had any legal right to enter the
place of amusement. The supreme court
affirms this ruling and says: ''The act
complained of by the plaintiff was the
withdrawal by the defendants, as to him,
of the offer which they had made to adj
NIT him, or to contract with him for ad-
mission. They had the right to do this,
as to him or any other member of the
public. This right is not based upon the
fact that he belongs to particular race,
but arises from the consideration that
neither he nor any other person could de-
mand as right under the law that the
privilege of entering the place be accord
ed to him."

The average man knows, perhaps, a
score of insects familiarly by name; he
has more or less knowledge, perhaps, of
hundred, and he sees in these won
derful variety of forms and colors. But
the resources of nature are vastly greater
than any one realizes who has not made
a special study of some branch of natural
history. Think of Dr. Rileys collection
of North American insects, which is said
to contain 10000 species, represented by
more than 115, 900 pinned specimens, and
Others preserved in alcohol or by other
methods. He has given this collection
to the National museum, where all who
care to do so may study the fruits of his
labor.

BE KIND.

Oh, be kind to those who love youl
Grieve no human love awayl
Twine it tenderly about you,
Let it bless you day by day,
Tho the sunlight now may dazzle,
Life has many a clouded sky;
Hoard your treasures of affection,
You win need them by and by.
OH be kind to those who love youi
Give them gladness while you may
Here to-day, to-morrow's sunrise
May behold them pass away.
Lavish love ON all around you;
Smiles and sunshine freely strew;
And, like bread upon the waters,
They will yet return to you.

closing the session:
My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN: am glad
to be able TO release you from your ardu-
Gus duties. Ny relations with foreign pow
ers continue to be friendly. The mutiny of
portion of the Bulgarian army has led to
the abdication of Prince Alexander. re-
gency has been established, which is now
administering the eff9irs of the princi-
pahty, and preparations are being made
for the election OF a successor to Prince
Alexander in accordance with the proyis-
ions OF the treaty OF Berlin. In answer to
a communication addressed by the Porte
10 the slgnatcry powers, parties to that
tr atty, | have stated that SO far as this
country is concerned there viii be no infrac.
tion OF the conditions guaranteed by
treaties to Bulgaria. Assurances to
the same effect have been given by
the other powers. The demarcation
of the Afghan frontier has advanced
TO within few miles OF the river Oxus. In
view OF the approach of winter, my com
missions have been withdrawn, but the in
formation they have obtained will be suffi-
cieDt for the determination by direct nego-
tiatiCus between the two courts of that por-
Ilon OF the frontier which still remains un-
marked.
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS:
| thank you for the supplies you have vo ted
Tor the requirements OF the public service.
My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN:-I have di-
rected the issue of a commission to inquire
into the circumstances which appear to
have prevented the Anticipated operations
of the recent acts dealing with the tenure
and the purchase of lands in Ireland.
have observed with much satisfaction the
interest which, in an increasing degree,
Is evinced by the people ofthis country in the
welfare OF their colonial and Indian fellow
subjects, and am led to the conviction that
there is on all sides a growing desire to
draw closer in every practicable way the
bonds which unite the various portions OF
my empire. l have authorized communi-
cations TO be entered into with the princi-
pal colonial governments with the view TO
fuller consideration OF matters of common
interest.

How to Boil a Cabbage
From the Christian at Work.

From the Christian at Work
"Dear me, | hate to have cabbage
for dinner, it scents the house all

"No need OF scenting the house at
all il you boil it right" answered her
neighbor, Mrs. Osborne.

his mother boils it so shat it is green
and tender when served, and that the
odor is rather pleasant while it lasts. y
"How long do you boil cabbage"

"No wonder your house is perfumed.
Try my way next time. Have the
water boiling and put in large tea,
spoonful Of salt and a half-teaspoon-
full cooking soda. Have the cabbage
ready to drop in with the soda to
stop the effervescing. Let the sauce,
pan, or rather the water therein, boil
fast for twenty or thirty minutes, and
then strain the cabbage"
"Will it be done?"
"Twenty minutes generally softens
the cabbage, but thirty at the most.
OF course one cabbage differs from an
other in tenderness. II you boil the

4 SPANISH REVOLT.
An Uprising of Soldiers In Madrid-sev-
eral Killed.

Amutiny OF a body of Spanish troops
IN Madrid, on the night of the 10th,
caused much alarm and excitement.
The trouble was begun by regiment
OF infantry quartered IN the Gil Bias
barracks. The soldiers revolted,
broke down the partition wall that
separated them from the quarters
occupied by the cavalry, and inter
mingled with the men OF the two caval-
ry regiments, a number OF whom ioined
in the revolution. The officers OF all
three regiments did all in their power
to dissuade the men from revolving,
but 300 soldiers, after beating num-
Der OF officers and wOunding three,
deserted the barracks and marched in
two bodies through the town. One
body went to the Prado, the prin-
cipal park and promenade in Mad
rid. Two thousand troops were
quartered in the Prado at the
time, and the revolutionists ex.
pected to be joined by them. The 9TH
er body went hUrahlng through the
center OF Madrid, calling on the people
to Join in'the revolution, crying, olive
the Republic !" and making all kinds OF
insurgents attacked and attempted to
secure possession Of the arsenals and
docks, but were repulsed. They final
ly got possession OF the Southern Rail
way, but were soon dislodged by the
loyal troops after a short fight. The
revolution was led by Brig Gen. Fella-
campa, who escaped on a special train.
Among those arrested are many Off
GERS. One OF the officers leading the
insurgents was shot and killed. The
rebels shot Gen. Velarde for refusing
to join them. They also mortally
wounded Count Mirasol, and killed 8
colonel OF artillery.
Great excitement was caused by
the news that the rebels had seized
Morata, town near Madrid. Firing
was heard in the direction OF the town
and q detachment Of soldiers was sent
thither. A crowd OF the followers OF
Gorilla had assembled there. They
were scattered by the Royalist troops,
many being taken prisoners.

Labor Notes,

The brown stone rubbers in all the
yards in New York, are on a strike,
having been ordered out because Henry
Hanlein locked out his rubbers and
millmen. There had been a dispute
between his men and him about a
"scab" engineer. The Stone-rubbers'
Protective Association and the Der
rick Men and Hod-hoisters' Union
have taken up the matter, and it
seems likely that big strike of the
building trade will be ordered. Should
this take place thousands Of men will
be rendered Idle and all the building
operations in the city stopped.
The strike Of the Western window

at q meeting of the Glass Workers
Association, held at Pittsburg, and
work will be resumed in every factory
of the Allegheny district as soon asthe
furnaces can be heated. The basis OF
the settlement was last years wages.
The factories have been closed since
June with over 5000 men out.
Brickmakers to the number of 100,
from different places, met on the 22d,
at Cincinnati, and formed a national

A sportsman's Terrible Adventure

From the Stockton (CaI) MALL
John Barrett, who has Just returned
from Howard Springs, met with lit
tie adventure in the third person while
at that mountain resort. Among the
party at the springs was q man who
was very fond OF hunting. He started
out before dawn one morning, and to-
ward dusk he was still absent. \ par
ty OF searchers started out and met
him in the woods. He was covered
with blood and scratches. According
to his story ne had sighted a tree
squirrel on branch, and the result
proved almost Il horrible death-not
to the squirrel, for, being fancy hunt
er, the sportsman merely wounded
that animal-but to the man himself.
After wounding thesquirrel he climbed
the tree to bring 1t down. The terri
fed animal crawled to the top OF the
trunk lust az the hunter got there.
The trunk proved to be hollow, and
the squirrel crawled down. While
grabbing for the game the man dropped
his gun down the hollow. The piece
was a valuable one, and the sports
man determined to recover 1t. SO he
Slid down einside OF the trunk. But
upon attempting to climb out what
was his horror to find himself en-
tombed alive. Minutes Jagged into
hours. and still no responses came to
his shouts for help. Hope and
strength at last died out, and the man
gave himself up to a horrible death
Suddenly, an object partly Obscured

his shouts mad been heard, he gave an
exclamation OF JOY; but the object, IN
stead of responding, descended the

liant idea fash ed across the mans
mind. He seized the animal by the
tail and, happily, was dragged mp to
daylight. Reaching the oritice OF the
trunk he cut off the tail OF his rescuer
and generously allowed him 10 escape.
In proof OF the truth OF this story
the huntsman exhibited his scratched
elbows and knees. On the following
day the tree was found and fei!ef.

A Story Of Two Drummers
From the Boston Record.

From the Boston Record.I
Boston drummers who go down to
Providence nowadays have to find
some way to amnse themselves, and,
as the inspiration OF the bar is now
lacking, they employ their time at the
hotel IL putting up practical Jokes on
one another.
The other day two OF the fraternity
sauntering out through the back hall
way toward the kitchen came upon
three balloon fytraps standing on a
table brimming full of flies. One OF
the drummers took one of the traps,
while the insects buzzed wildly within.
Remember" said he, "the story OF
the old woman who saw one of these
full OF flies In the window and asked
how much they cost. Fifty cents,
said the storekeeper. Huh = said the
old woman, 4 wouldn't give fifty cents
for all the flies in the world ="
Chestnut" said the other drummer.
"Oh, / say! I'll tell you what we'll
do. Did dyou see Leviup stairs asleep on
the bed under the mosquito netting
canopy? Lets take these things mp
stairs and empty them under the
mosquito netting"
They carried the plan out at once.
The third drummer was catching up
his sleep in his room upstairs, snor-
ing biissfully under his mosquito net
ting. The two cautiously crept into
the room with their fly traps, STEALTH
ly lifted the edge of the netting, let
every fly loose within the canopy, and
ia n hid themselves in the closet, with
I door half open, to await results.
Ile buzz of the flies presently arose
almost TO roar, and they began 20
alight on the devoted drummer in
myriads. The men in the closet heard
him groaning and threshing around on
the bed. Presently he awoke with g
gasp and contemplated the black
cloud of flies around him.
"Holy Moses!" he calculated. "Is
dis Rhote Island or is it Eshypt ?"
One OF the drumnlers in the closet
could stand it no longer and gave a
snort OF laughter. Levi leaped out OF
bed and the two drummers took to

peanut often complain that they find
the kernels OF the nut soft and flexible
instead Of being brittle; that is because
they have been too long roasted.
"lf you want to get a nut at it's best
you should eat it half an hour after it
has been roasted. They are good for

people like them hot, but they are bad
for the teeth; besides, they have not
yet acquired their proper taste. Peo-

The system OF feeling walters is be-
coming as general and, we may say
pernicious, in this country as it is in
Europe One OF the proprietors Of the
Holman House in New York, talking
upon this subject the other day, said;
The young man that can't average

cred good. Mind you, we are opposed
to tips here, but it is impossible to
stop it. It Is foolish habit. | have
fine looking young men every day who
offer TO work for nothing, aud many
offer to pay for the privilege The
other night party from Texas sat
here for several hours. At the next
table sat a well known theatrical man

Every time he ordered a drink he gave
the waiter a quarter. The Texans no.
ticed this and, not proposing to be
outdone, gave their boy fifty cents and

night at least $50 or $40. It's got
now, lam sorry to say, so that no one
thinks of sitting down to take drink
without giving the boy ten cents.
There are fifteen boys here, and in the
busy season you can imagine what
these tips amount to. Why, there are
no young men in the town. save the
sons OF rich parents, who dress better
