Sewers was arrested for no cause |.hatever and imprisoned Tor ten days, after which he was released and given twenty-four hours to leave the country. MT. Sewers is we'll known in financial circles, and his name for the last three decades has been considered synonym for integrity and probity. He feels very indignant over his treatment, and says the Spanish government has begun system of persecution unneafd of in the annals of war Persons are ar rested upon the most flimsy pretexts and life and property are insecure.
 Passengers on the Mascot tonight say that matters look very gloomy for the Spaniards. The insurgents are commit ting great depredations all over the coun- try and the Spanish troops fear to meet them, as they are driven back to the towns. Roloff, with heavy force, is ap bearing around Placatas and the whole country is in sympathy with him. Up to the departure of the Mascot seventy mpathzers of the Cubans had been ar rested.
 The authorities are searching every house looking for contra band goods. To- day they searched the place of L. So- meillan, but failed to find anything to duplicate him.
 The fireman, Lopez, who was taken from the Mascot on her trip for landing box of cartridges has been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The boatman shared the>same fate.
 Many skrmishes between the insur- gents and troops are reported the latter generally being worsted.

the first thing to do for the child is to put
his feet into as hot mustard water as he
can bear and be sure that the room is very
warm. If possible, put him into hot

him in bed between blankets. Even be-
fore putting him in bed give him strip of

outside of the throat. Saturate flannel
and lay it over the chest and throat. Hot
bricks or bottles filled with hot water
should be placed at the child's feet and at
the sides of his body to induce perspira-
tion. Keep him carefully covered. After

The Three Generals.

The conduct of war resembles the
conduct of life. There are rules and
principles which it is well to know
but for success moro is needed than
knowledge. The successful man sees
the world as it is, grasps the situa
ton before him, goes straight to the
point and keeps to it. We say of
him, in one aspect, that he has char
actcr; in another, that he has COM
mon sense, and common sense az its
best we call genius. The CONN ID
of an army is q matter of charac T.
and common sonsc. In Napoleol 5
words, "A la guerre les hommes ne
sont rien, c'est I'M homme qui est
tout.
Of generals not mere ciphers there
are three kinds. There is tho com
mander who has the force of will,
but whose intelligence is not cult
waited. He makes Il good subordinate
"a Ney or a Bencdek-but is prone
to fail when left to himself. Then
there is the intellectual man, apt to
take in 1nOre learning than he can
carry. He becomes a Brunswick, q
Masscnbach, Colley. Sometimes,
but not often, powerful mind is
coupled with very strong backbone.
Such a man, when he has a chance,
does great things. Moltke's prob
lens are not conclusive evidence as
to character, but no one can study
them without recognizing the mas
ter quality of mind. Their author
may have had infinite learning, but
it has been digested out of sight.
What is visible is the perfection of
common sense.-Spectator.

1t is science to put on gloves for the

Water as Fuel.

1t may well appear to be the ex-
treme of paradox that the same ele-
ment which tempers the excess of
both solar and animal heat should
become source of supply for their
deficiency, and yet water in the form
of gas is now used for fuel The
principle of its manufacture is to
pass steam over redhot coal, thereby
resolving it into two inflammable
gases, hydrogen and carbonic oxide
1t is open, however, to drawbacks
In the first place, it is absolutely in
odorous, so that its escape cannot
reveal itself to the sense of smell,
and in the second place, one of its
component gases, carbonic oxide, is
an active and dangerous poison 1t
thus requires great care in use as
we'll as in storage, and it seems hard
ly probable that for some time at
least it will come into general do
nestle use But it produces less
smoke, is more powerful and burns
up less air than the ordinary coal
gas. 1t possesses very little illumi-
mating power Brooklyn Eagle.

The People Queen Victoria Likes.

Although it has frequently been stated
that newspapers are carefully kept from
her majesty, it is well known among those
acquainted with the queens private life
that no current events or topics escape her
attention. Indeed SO curious is she about
the principal personages of the day that
she never rests until she has obtained their
photographs. Among her majesty's most
curious photographs is one of Louise
Michel.
The queen likes two classes Of people
those of rank who keep within the limits
Of court etiquette for which the queen is
as great a stickler as the emperor of Ger
many, and those who are no "respecter Of
persons" who can neither flatter nor
oringe, who will reproye or gossip or re-
peat an amusing anecdote, such as the
Scotch peasants or the most confidential
servanGs of the royal household.
The queen has a great personal influ-
ence over children and is very much in
terested in getting the opinions of nurses
and governesses connected with the royal
household as to their training. WON n
