MADRID. June 17.-Much alarm is
occasioned by the continued spread of
the cholera at Puebla de Rugat The
authorities are making strong efforts to
stamp out the disease, but so far they
have been unsuccessful and new cases
are reported daily. Sunday there
were four deaths from the disease and
nine new cases. The doctors at Puebla
de Rugat are greatly overworked and
the authorities have telegraphed to Va
ianeia asking that physicians be sent
from that city to aid them. The
supply of drugs is running short and
the town officials have also tele-
graphed for fresh supply from Va
lencia The total number of deaths
thus far reported is ninety-one. One of
the persons who fled from the town for
safety has died from the disease at
Albaida. DIR. Candida, who is an expert,
declares that the disease at Puebla de
Rugat is true Asiatic cholera.

A WiFE'S REVENGE.

NY dear" said the gentle editors wife.
Il like your quibs and croaks.
But I've noticed all the years Of my life
Such a sameness in your jokes.
'There's cleaning house. for instance. how
You magnify its woes
And every spring print the same old thing,
OF how scrubbing water flows.
= In sudsy waves through happy homes,
While strong men run and hide,
And mops. pals. busters, soap and brooms
Go smashing down the tide"
-'Tis true tits pity, pity tits
IT'S true the editor spoke;
-There's always fire wherever there is
Such an awful lot Of smoke.
House-cleaning terrors have not half
Been told-the mischiefs in them"
:" Oh, WELL she answered with laugh,
Suppose We don't begin them"
The editor laughed merrily,
Right glad was he that day;
The dust and dirt came warily,
But, oh they came to stay
Old wire, old straps, old boots and shoes,
Old pamphlets, old tin cans
Rags, rubbish old bones, left from stews,
Old bustles, rusty pans,
Cracked jars and bottles. skipping ropes
Old iron, feathers, strings,
Old almanacs, old envelopes,
And hosts Of useless things
Just covered'shelves and tables ant
just smOthered walls and floors;
There was no place TO sit or stand,
Unless twas out Of doors.
Upon the kitchen floor the soil
Increased; potatoes grew there.
The good wife rested from her toll,
She nothing had TO do there.
The editor fell raging sick
Within that dreadful hovel,
And cried: Maria clean house quicki
And do il with a shovel"
She hired men and maids in haste.
Ana worked their hands and feet OF,
Till all things were in order p,ased
And clean enough TO eat on.
Aud in his paper then he wrote,
(No longer sad and glum):
"We're very greatly pleased 10 note
House cleaning time has come"

HOW WHALES FEED.

They Rarely Swallow Any Thing Larger
Than a Herring or Jelly FISH.
The great Greenland whale has no
teeth, its baleen plates, or whalebones
taking their place. Along the center Of
the palate runs strong ridge, and on
each side of this there is wide depres-
sion along which the plates are in
serted. These are long and fiat, hang
ing free, and are placed transversely-
! that is, across the mOuth-with their
sides parallel and near each other. The
base and outer edge of the plates are OF
solid whalebone, but the inner edges are
| fringed, filling up the interiOr of the
mouth, and acting as a strainer for the
food, which consists of the small swim
ming mollusks and meduse or jelly
fishes. This whale rarely, if ever, swal-
lows any thing larger than herring,
shoals of these small creatures being
entangled in the fibers of the blleen,
the water which does not escape from
the mouth being expelled by the blow
holes. Though the cavity of this
whales mouth is big enough to contain
ships long-bOat, the gullet is not
larger than a mans fist. The lower Jaw

large, fleshy lips, within which the up
per is received when the mouth is closed.
While the Greenland whale has no
teeth, the sperm whale has them in
great quantities on the lower jaw. and
uses them. too, when occasion requires.
On the other hand, the narwhal very
seldom develops more than one, the left
upper canine. 1t makes up for the lack
of numbers by the extraordinary growth
attained by this one tooth. 1t grows
out and right forward, on line with the
body, until it becomes veritable tusk,
sometimes reaching the length of ten
feet. Apropos of tusks, the elephants
are its unduly-developed upper incisors;
those of the walrUs are its upper
CANNES, and so are those of the wild
hog. Some fishes are absolutely tooth
less, like the sucker and lamprey; 9th
ers again have hundreds and hundreds
of teeth, sometimes so many that they
cover all parts of the mouth. Mechan-

UNGRATEFUL DAUGHTERS.
One of the Best Things Ella Wheeler Will
cox Has Ever Written.

cox Has Ever Written.
/ have seen mothers who have
sacrificed youth, appearance, health
and comfort in the effort to save money
to educate and dress their daughters,
browbeaten and crushed and virtually
ignored by their daughters in return
for it.
The American girl is taught that she
is young Princess from her cradle to
the altar. 1t is a great misfortune when
she forgets that the mother of a Princess
must be a Queen. or Queen Regent, and
should be so treated.
am always sorry when / see young
mother trying to save her little daugh-
ter trouble by anticipating every wish,
and waiting upon her. As rule, such
daughters grow up to think it their
right TO be waited on, and to regard
their mothers as upper servants. They
seldom appreciate what is done for
them, but they are quick to resent any
neglect.
On the contrary, children who are
taught to wait upon their parents. and
who are brought up to regard the par
ents as their superiors are almost in
variably respectful and grateful in the
home circle.
Let a mother ask child to do all sorts
of errands for her, and no matter how
busy the child is kept, il the mother ex-
presses gratitude and appreciation, the
child feels repaid and finds a delight in
the thought of relieving the parents
cares. While a child, that is courteous
ly waited on, almost invariably becomes
a petty tyrant and exactor. They take
it as their right, and have no compre-
hension of the sacrifices made for them.
If every one of us devoted a life of
fifty years duration TO mother, we
could scarcely more than repay for the
soul, brain and body strain we caused
her the first ten years of our lives. OF
course | am speaking of the true, good
mother. / know there are exceptions
to the rule-there are cruel. heartless
and unnatural mothers l have known
mothers who were Jealous of their own
daughters. ! know mother Who lives
in luxury and uses all her income in
frivolous dressing and pleasure, while
her fair, fragile daughter works in a
dusty Office all day long. But as
rule. the American mother Is loving,
devoted, and self-sacrificing and self
facing, and she needs to assert her
self and to command more respect from
her too often unappreciative and
thoughtless daughter, who must herself
become q mother in order to- compre-
bend the great wrong she has com
mitsed to her own.-Ella Wheeler Will
