CUBA

This fertile island must some day
pass under the American flag, and the
sooner the better, as IL would be Of
great Importance TO US in many ways.
The island is 6GO miles in length and
varying from II to 1876 miles wide, and
has a coast line Of 1900 miles. It's
total area is about Is, 1863 square miles.
1t produces an abundance of sugar.
tobacco, guaDo. rice, maize, tropical
fruits and vegetables, Her mines yield
copper ore, coal and bitumen. and be-
sides a great variety Of marble many
valuable stones are found there.
The island also manufactures large
quantities Of sugar, rum, molasses and
cider.
The trade Of the island is in the
hands Of foreigners. Columbus dis
covered Cuba In 1892, and the first
Spanish settlement was consummated
in 1872. Havana, the capital and prin-
cipal city, has a population of about
100000; and here the Spanish viceroy,
called the c1ptain-general, resides.
Since 1868 10000 soldiers have been
sent to Cuba from Spain, and Of these
only about 1900 survived. The popu-
lation Of Cuba is 100000
Should Spain become involved in war
the first thing she will do will be to
lose this island, and we can little
afford to have it pass under the juris-
own. We can afford to pay few mil
lions for Cuba and there are no diff
culties or complications in the way.
The Cubans desire change Of govern
meHt and they are liable 60 rebel at
any time against the mother country.

New Dress Fabrics.

The first importations of spring wooden
dresses are homespuns, cheviOts, tweeds
and fancifui plaids and stripes with rough
surfaces. Beige and tan shades are always
popular in the spring, and are now of the
Hgntest mushroom tints. A special fancy
this season is the use of pale green shades
for the accessories of these light tan
dresses, and of darker green and pale yell
low with gray gowns. Outing dresses are
of finely twilled striped fannels, and the
stripes are placed bias, lengthwise and
crosswise in a single gown.
Scotch ginghams remain the popular
cotton fabric for ladies' summer dresses
and for children's frocks throughout the
year, They are brought out this year in
the very light colors that will be seen in all
new fabrics, the special novelty being
copies of Louis Quinze brocades in chine,
stripes of flowers and vines on white
grounds alternating with solid stripes OF
pale rose, sky blue, mauve, gray or green.
Powered batistes with lace stripes are
pretty summer fabrics, thinner and softer
than giRghams, and with more body
than lawns. Percales are revived. Sateens
have a duller luster than formerly, and
the cotton cheyiots are of better quality
than were last season's.-Harper's Bazaar.

Primarily, for the convenience of the
railroads, a standard of time was estab-
fished by mutual agreement in 1883 by
which trains are run and local time regu-
lated. According to this system, the
United States, extending from the sixty
fifth degree 10 the one hundred and twenty
fifth degree west longitude is divided into
four time sections, each of fifteen degrees
of longitude, exactly equivalent TO one
hour. The first (easterD) section includes
all territory between the Atlantic coast
and an irregular line drawn from Detroit to
Charleston, :. C., the latter being its most
southern point, The second (centraD section
includes all the territory between the last
named line and an irregular line from Bis
marck, y. D., to the mouth of the Rio
Grande. The third tnountain) section in
cludes all territory between the last named
line and nearly the western borders Of Idaho,
Utah and Arizona. The fourth tPaCific) sec
ton covers the rest OF the country to the Pa
ciic coast Standard time is uniform inside
each of these sections, and the time Of each
section differs from that next to il by ex-
actiy one hour. Thus nc II noon in New
York city eastern timcl the time at Chi
eago central time) is II o'clock a. III; at
Denver (moUEtain time), 10 o'clock a. m.

slower Mt Boston than true local time, 3
minutes slower mt New York, minutes
faster at Washington, 10 minutes faster Mt
Charleston, 30 minutes faster Mt Detroit, IS
minutes faster at Kansas City, 10 minutes
slower at Chicago, minute faster at st.

INTO his realm above the Ornament, the
confusion of tongues and the dispersion Of
nations; the essentials of Christianity, as
taught by its blessed founder have simply
been freed, by comparative philology, from
one more great incubus and incumbrance,
and have therefore been left to work with
more power upon the hearts, minds and
conduct of mankind.
Nor has any harm been done to the Bible
On the contrary, it has been made by this
new divine revelation through science all
the more precious TO us. In these myths
and legends caught from earlier civiliza-
lions we see an evolution of the most i'm.
portant religious and moral truths for our
race. Myth, legend and parable seem, in
obedience to II divine law, the necessary
setting for these truths, as they are sue
cessively evolved, ever in higher and high.

The Monthlies' Embargo.

Seattle Telegraph: Here is crumb of
cold comfort for the ambitious citizens,
male and female. who think heaven has
designed them to write for the big monthly
magazines. Some of the secrets of the
magazine charnel house have been given
away to the Washington Star by gen
tleman who used to read matter which
the mails waited into the Office of a dis
tinguished monthly, and he states that
unless manuscript was tagged with a
well-knOwn name 1t gets no more atten-
tion than recipe for making pie. IL is
bundled up and returned with polite
note of regret He adds IN at George w.
Cable, who had heard these stories, CON
ciuded to make personal test. So he
sent two or three short stories over an
assumed name to several magazines
They were promptly rejected. Then he
seat them back over his own name and
they were just as promptly accepted.
All of which goes TO prove coucIusiveIy
that the manuscript had never even been
read In the first place. That pompous
parsonage who struts abont as the
superior critic of the monthly es-
adjustments Is under bonds to be
never critical at all. .Whose image
and sHperscription is this?' is the only
question he has to ask If an article Is
properly tagged with popular writer's
name, 1t goes through the gauntlet with n
rush, though it may be heavy enough to
sink brig, while an article from some
source unknown. though IL be rare and
radiant with rich literary jewels, meets
with merciless and savage boycott. The
mills grind so rapidly that a magazines
stock is soon overcrowded for months and
years ahead; hence. they can afford to
employ readers" with no more brains
than a Florida orange or too lazy to stroll
ont Of a beaten path.
The result Of this pigmy. peanut policy.
this boycott on freshness and novelty, has
had the natural effect of leaving the
monthiies burdened down with heavy
cargoes of brain freight from "well known
authors" while the newspapers get the
bright, breezy products of less popular"
minds.
Some day. perhaps. the big concerns
will cut off these barnacle critics in self
defense. Meantime, the writer who has
something marketable need fool no
longer with the sapient owls who boot
discouiagement from the towers OF the
monthlies.

NAVAL RESERVE

With so much 0ceau front, sound,
river and lakes 10 protect, the general
government should organize aud sup
port a naval reserve on the same plan
as that Of the National Guard.
IL can be seen that we would have
great difficulty in securing enough
trained and educated men, in case Of
emergency, TO man the warships, sail
ing vessels ships and steamers that
would ply our waters. Ii would require
months 20 fit and prepare men I'M
accustomed TO water or vessels, for
seaman.
There are thousands Of young men
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts who
would serve for five years In such an
organization; and the general govern
ment has any number Of men who are
educated In this line, who could be de-
tailed for instructors.
Let some Of the Pacific coast repre-
sentatives in congress start this move
meot and see how 10 will take with
the government.
The secretary OF navy is said to
heartily favor this scheme. as he
knows what n great reserve it would
be for the navy In case of trouble.

Meissonier, like Napoleon, was one of the
little great men of the world. He was no
taller than Theirs and he was even less
strongly built large head and broad
shoulders being supported by short, slender
legs, His bushy beard gave him a fierce
ness which was wholly belied by his gentle
ness Of manner. His pictures owe much of
their fame TO their tininess. For instance
there is lie Recit," which was in the Sec
retain collection. II is no bigger than a
crown piece, and the amount of fine work
put in by the painter into the tiny panel is
amazing. II the value of pictures be judged

OF the various palms the date palm (Phee-
nix dactylifera) is one Of the most useful
and ornamental. The old AssyriaDs thought
it WAS the mystical tree of life, and other
ancients considered the date the forbidden
fruit Of the Garden of Eden. The Greeks
were very fond of the tree, the splendid
stem of which is said to have given them the
first idea Of columns. They said Hercules
had brought the first palm to Greece from
the internal regions. The Romans were
the first TO give palm branches to victors.
But the natives of India have woven
most legends and stories round the tree
which gives them food and shelter. The
following is one of the most fantastic ones
a palm grew by the side of lake in Cen
trail India 1t was visible during the day,
and in the evening it vanished in the earth.
One morning pilgrim climbed to the top,
but the tree grew rapidly to tremendous
height, so that the pilgrim was scorched to
death by the hot rays Of the sun, and the
palm itself was scorcbed and died. On the
spot where it had grown there stands now
the idol of the genii of the lake called
Taroba.
