The seriousness of the Cuban rebellion Is
shown by the action of Spain in preparing for
a loan of coo, 900 pesetas. If the present
captain general Of Cuba is entrusted with
the expenditure of this amount he may sue

kilograms and making similar displays of
military genius which is now somewhat Grip

Russia EcsOrting to strict Measures for
Raising Revenue.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Consul General
Karel at st. Petersburg, in report to the
State department, gives the details Of plan
of the Russian government to raise more
money by increasing the consumption tax on
tea also by strict laws to prevent the adul-
teration of that article. Each package Of tea
is to be stamped with revenue band. The
tax on pound packages will cost 0.3125 copeck
each Zone copeck equals about q of a cent?.
The tax is not heavy, yet CI account of the
great amount Of tea drinking in Russia 1t
will produce considerable revenue. The con-
sui general says that Notwithstanding the
yearly increase in the consumption of tea
the importatlons decrease annually. 1t is
admitted that from 2,170,000 to $3.50 900
pounds are smuggled in yearly. Strong
measures are being adopted by the Russian
government to prevent the adulteration which
is known to be carried on. Another reason
for the decrease in importation in the face
of increased consumption is the fact that
tea is quite extensively produced in Russia
and an analysis of it shows it to be a very
good quality,

Bacon at $4,000 a Pound.

sNo, sir have DO use for Mexico,
aid Miner B. N. Drazad to Chicago
Tribune reporter. It was ten years
ago when I purchased strip Of land
near Sonora, Mexico, forty miles from
the mouth of st. Pedro River, and
thirty miles from Cananara. The land
was good mining property, and I knew
if it were worked right I could make 9
good many thousand dollars. I had
$4,000 when I started to work, ~sad
with part of this I purchased mining
implements, powder, etc. For eighteen
months worked alone at the mine,
drilled tunnel COS feet long through
hard rock, and finally struck what
was looking for-an arsenica ledge o1
silver. I had worked Sundays, Christ
mas, Thanksgiving and figured on,
$40, 1000 in sight.
stAll at once I felt craving for {
bit of bacon. There is no such thing
as Mexican bacon, you know. Hogl
there have to lean against tree to
grunt. The duty in Mexico on pork
is seventy per cent, and, as I could
get bacon for twenty cents a pound
across the line at Orcho7ille, Arizona
determined to ride over there and
get some. I did it, and enjoyed my
bacon; but ten days later the Me1i'
cans seized me and oonfscated my
mine. That bacon cost me $40, 900

Household Accidents.

A slight cut or abrasion OF the hsnd
or slight burn, may become serious
matter if it is totally neglected. Where
the skin is torn or cut 1t is desirable
in the first place that the wound shou1d
bleed freely. Cases of lockjsw are o.
rare occurrence where this IL the case.
and very slight wound Of the hand
Or foot has been known to produce
,his dangerous malady where bleed
.ng did not follow.
One of the greatest dangers lies il
! wound of a kitchen knife, which
may have held impure matter, and
even from the scratch of pin, and
fatal cases of blood-poisoning have fre'
quently resulted from 80 simple &
cause. Absolute cleanliness, therefore.
is necessary in the treatment Of such 4
wound. After the wound has bled
little it should be washed with perfectly
clean water. That which has been
boiled is best for the purpose, and
there is no harm in using a little car
bolic acid in the proportion Of q drol
or two to quart of water. .
Do not attempt to stanch bleeding
oy the use Of cobwebs, which are
naturally dirty and full of impure
germs, but use little lint and clean
cotton or linen cloth. These should
be always kept in the houses for use ID
case of such accidents. a trustworthy
druggist will always supply some
preparation of carbolIc acid, properly
weakened for household use. Evea
household ammonia, though it is pain.
full at first, is recommended as mild
way of oauterizing simple wound. a
thick paste of equal parts Of common
baking-soda and -four, wet to paste
with cold water, is the best remedy
for a burn. It is better than lime
water, because lime-wster is liable to
become incrusted, while the paste OF
soda and -four is cooling to the surface
and can easily be removed. The oh:
ject of treating burn is to cover the
extremities of the nerves which have
been injured and give them opportun'
ity to heal. While such paste is be-
ing prepared cover the wound for the
moment with common -four and wrap
it up in clean cotton.
A simple healing plaster which ma,
be prepared in the household calls fol
half pound of rosin, an ounce eacf
Of mutton tallow, camphor-gum and
beeswax, half an ounce each of British
oil, cedar oil gum myrrh end hnseed
oil. Melt the rosin, mutton tallow,
camphor-gum, beeswax and gum
myrrh together and add the oils. Thn
plaster should be spread on cotton
when needed and applied to tn
wound. York Tribune.
