Gibraltar and snain


It may be objected that, although Glib
raltar might be useless to us as against
Spain. 1t would still. in wartime. be use
full to US as against any other power. II
certainly might be useful to very mod
ified extent. It is nevertheless matter
Of notoriety that Spain ardently desires
to regain possession Of the fortress. and
it is scarcely conceivable that, unless we
were actually fighting for the protection
of Spanish interests. Spain would remain
rigidly neutral while another power was
attempting to expel US from the rock.
In order to secure the more or less ac-
tive cooperation of Spain the other pow
er would merely have to give some se-
cret pledge that, having once gained
possession OF Gibraltar. she would hand
It over without charge to its ancient
owners. France. there is no doubt,
would. with things standing as they do
at present. be very glad to see Spain
take our place there. and though Italy
might not like it she would not spend
single centesimo to prevent it.--T--+

they had been long before that applied
to house decoration by the Chinese.
Those that were first manufactured in
the west were adaptations OF design from
Italian brocades, and at first they were
used in an unobjectionable manner, just
as hangings of the costlier material were
employed-namely,t to fill spaces between
obvious structural lines-and so applied
no objection could be made to their use.
On the contrary, the invention brought
It within the means OF almost every
Householder to fill blank wall spaces
with agreeable tracery and harmonious
color.

intact. Coigns were protected with
molding or plaster work. and the in

Friendship Between Horse and . Dog.

Friendship Between Horse and Dog.
A plumber at Narragansett had horse
D? wears old which was used for carry
ing around his masters material when
that was necessary. but spent most of its
time in small pasture. A fox terrier,
also belonging to the plumber. was an in
separable companion of the old horse
When the old horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse and was never so de-
lighted as when tho horse would begin to
roll in the grass. which it often did, ap-
parently to please the dog, which would
jump about in every direction and bark
for pure JOY.
At night when the horse was put in tho
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept on the animals body
One day the neighbors heard the most
dismal howls coming from the pasture
and found that the old horse had died

were. contesting possession of piece Of
property, the one claiming under an old
lease, the other under an old will.

A Pocket Life Saving Apparatus.

In 1874 Lieutenant Brunei of Dieppe
introduced his pocket life saving lines, Of
which already upward of 3.340 are being
used in France. where they now rescue
annually some 2S5 lives Nevertheless
these admirable inventions are almost
unknown in our empire. Brunel's small
pocket line consists of wooden float,
round which some 90 feet of stout cord
is wound The other end Of the cord
terminates in an efficient grapnel armed
with four small hooks. The whole ap-
paratus complete weighs only five
ounces and is the most convenient of all
life saving lines Hence urge it's adop-
tion everywhere. especially for officials
and others engaged about our coasts and
inland waters These appliances could
be profitably retailed for about ls Cd
each, and any one can r,ake them. Lon

WHY THE INTERVIEWER EXISTS.

A Few Rassons to Account for the Popa-
larity of One Form of Journalism.
Why do persons of notoriety admit
the domestic interviewer? Probably q
number of reasons may be assigned.
The most respectable is indolent good
nature; it is easier to say ''yes" than
''no:" to have the tiles in your fireplace
described as Persian" and, at the same
time. as the work of an Englishman,
than to keep your drawing room for
your acquaintance. This is the fairest
plea for permitting your person and
furniture to be exhibited to the subur-
ban citizen who. honest man, prob
ably never heard of you and cares very
little about you.
Again the patient may really like be-
ing talked about in public-may enjoy
the idea of permitting all the world to
know, as Mr.. Allen says, ''curious little
details which might be left to your con-
science, your cook and the commission
ers of inland revenue" It is an odd
taste, but it is possible that "the animals
enjoy it." The interviewed may pre-
tend to complain, but may really re-
joice. The public does not mind it. tho
patient is pleased, the interviewer earns
his fee in the way he has been inspired
to choose.
All this may be admitted. but the plea
Of necessity cannot be admitted. Again,
probably many Of the patients think an
interview" good advertisement. They
are brought before the public notice;
therefore the public will read their books
or buy their pictures. This is sad mis-.
take. The pablic which reads interviews
knows nothing about the interviewed
author and his works. cares nothing
about them nor about anything Of the
sort. Here is gossip about somebody
whose name | have seen in the papers,
says the reader, 80 he reads the gossip.
but there his interest ends.
The theory of advertisement, of prof.
to accrue from little more Of personal
notoriety. is blunder. The public Of
this kind cares to know that an autho,
squints. weighs l2 stone 10 or has q
| broken nose. or uses thick handled
1 pen; but as to what he writes with that
pen this kind of public is serenely in
different. Where. then. is the necessity
for admitting the interviewer Neces
sity there is none. but Incidence, vanity
love Of notoriety, are likely to keep thu
author of interviews in full employ
ment.
Mr.. Blathwayt has added to his vol
ume defense Of his art. in which b,
says practically that "Zenophon" In
terviewed 'Socrates." An author whit
talks Of ''Zenophon" falls u little shor,
