A Hazardous Journey.

Lieutenant Cornelius c. Smith, Second cavalry, United States army, has laid out long ride of nearly 1000 miles on sin gle horse and unacoompanied, and will carry neither rations nor forage but in tends to depend solely upon tho country through which he travels for sustenance for himself and horse.
 He will start from Fort Wingate, New Mexico, and cover the distance to San An tonio Tex. within the time of month. The route over which he is to travel is wild and barren, and tho outlook is so hazardous that old teamsters who have been over tho trail doubt that he will ao- oomplish the journey.
 Lieutenant Smith is 27 years old, tall and 1.-the of figure, perfect athlete and an enthusiastic equestrian. He is master of the various Indian languages, often be- ing utilized as interpreter. and he served as corporal during tho Sioux campaign, being decorated for bravery. New York Tribune

EASTER LILIES.
With Onions and Potatoes Leading
 Source of Income In Bermuda.

With Onions and Potatoes a Leading
 Source of Income In Bermuda.
 It is the popular impression that the production of lily blossoms for the Easter season in this country is an important in- dustry in the Bermudas. Tho fact is that the blossoms are only a byproduct incl dental to tho growing of lily bulbs to be sent to Europe and America. The expor- tation of the blossoms is small except at the Easter season, and at any other time of year when the plants are blooming the blossoms are given to visitors. The same is true of freesias, which are grown in great numbers.
 The soil and climate of the Bermudas are especially favorable to the growing of the lily, and the bulbs are an important product, sharing with onions and potatoes the attention of cultivators. The lily grow CT separates the bulb into parts and plants each part. The new bulbs are not export ed the first year, but arc the second. It takes four years to produce the great bulbs three inches in diameter from which spring the tall stalks crowned with many blossoms. The grower has boards with four holes of different sizes, and the bulbs are sorted by passing them through these holes. One sees in Bermuda lily fields covered with plants varying in height from few inches to two or three feet. The small ones are the stalks from young bulbs. The tallest are the ones sent to this country at Easter The bulbs are removed from the ground in summer and set out again in the autumn.
 Bulb growing is profitable and certain. The grower can be reasonably sure of the price from year. to year, and he usually hopes to make a profit of about $2 per 1000 on lily bulbs sold in lots of 100, ,000. General Hastings of this country, who finds the climate of the Bermudas peculiar B ly suitable to his constitution, has man. aged to evade the law forbidding alien ownership of land in the islands and has become one of the most notable growers of lily bulbs
 Work in the lily fields is done largely by negroes, though whites, men, women and children, are also seen in the little patches. The Bermuda negroes are better educated and seemingly more intelligent than the negroes of this country, and their bearing is markedly different. The Bermuda ne- gro has the broad British accent and rather less of what is supposed in this country to be the negro dialect The ground for tho lilies is broken first with the blow, and after that the cultivation is entirely with hand implements. A large matlocklike hoe is used. Although the snowy fields of lilies and freesies have often been descrlb- cd, no one quite realizes tho abundance of these and other flowers in the Bermudas. Lilies are seen everywhere growing or cut and placed in water. Freesias arc gather ed and given away by the hundred. Chil- dren on the roads throw great punches of blossoms into passing carriages. The num- Der of lilies is almost cloying, and visitors tire of the ever present odor.-New York Sun.

She'll Never Spank Him Again.

Mary Westfall, who died at her daugh- ter's ranch near North Ontario recently at the age of 93 years had some remarkable experiences in her long life. She was the widow of James Westfall who was the junior law partner of William H. Seward at Auburn. N. Y. in tho early forties. She know President Cleveland's parents intimately when the presidents father was Presbyterian preacher at the little village of Clinton, near Utica, and she rec olleotod until her dying day several occa- sions when she herself visited personal ohastisement upon the future president because of some boyish naughtiness in the neighborhood where Mrs. Westfall lived about 1S45.

One of the most ualigned of all birds is the oatbird. Here is case of give dog bad name and hang it. The popular opin- ion Is that the oatbird is flirt, thief, jealous and all that is mean; instead of that ho Is beautiful singer, and most in- teresting and useful and helpful to other birds. Says Mrs. Olive Thorne Miller: II saw one of these birds take charge of two orphans and bring them up Another one I knew had built her nest in a honey suckle that olambered about the trellised entrance to the house. If cat appeared apyhere around, the catbird would fly to tho window of my room and follow me until I had driven the marauder off the premises. .'-Philadelphia Ledger

THE MISSING LINK.
A DUTCH PHYSICIAN THINKS HE HAS
 AT LAST DISCOVERED IT.

In the Central Part of Java Eugene Du-
 the Highest Ape and Below the Lowest
 Man.
 Mr. Eugene Dubois, a Dutch army sur geon, believes that he has discovered the missing link between man and the ape. He found in central Java portions of 0 skeleton which he declares to beabove that of the highest apo and below that of tho lowest man. He has written an interest ing pamphlet on tho subject and be- slowed on his find tho name of Pitheoan- thropus erectus.
 This discovery has excited general inter- est among scientific men. Professor o. 0. Marsh of Yale, the eminent geologist, has devoted a magazine article to it. Tho general opinion of spia1tiflc writers now appears to be that the lrsnains arc distinct ly human, although of an extraordinarily low character. Dr. Harrison Allen, in Sci ence, declares that the molar tooth, skull and femur arc human and not at all simi- an. A well known writer in Nature takes the same view
 The fossil remains arc three in number viz, the upper part of cranium, a right upper wisdom tooth and Q left femur These are believed to belong to the plesto- cene period, and according to Dubois present characters which justify him in placing the animal to which they belonged in now family which stands midway be- tween man and the apes. The specimens were found in Java, on the left bank of the Bengawan river, in the neighborhood of Trinil Each was exhumed at differ ent time, but all at the same level-viz, 1 m. below the dry season level of tho river and from 12 to 15 m. below the level of the plain through which tho stream has cut it's way-NeW York World

KING OF THE TAKIRs.
Nathan Sanders, Organizer of the Industry,
 Is Dend.

The king of the fakirs, Nathan Sanders of New York, is dead, and there is sincere mourning on the curbstones and among the pushcarts from Harlem to the Battery.
 Nathan Sanders was picturesque character. He was born fl years ago. He started in business as a barber. He was fairly successful at his trade, but suffered from rheumatism, and this led him to take to the street, as the saying is among the craft
 This was II years ago. He took bas- ket, bought supply of odds and ends and started in business on his own account. For four years he worked in this way, and during that time laid up enough capital to rent basement and went into what may be called tho fakir supply business.
 He bought up his stock at auctions and sheriff's sales, and leaving the street him. self, set up others in business. Peddlers came to him and selected their wares.
 They were required 1A give reference if they wero not known to him. but no se- curity was ever taken.
 When they were sold out half of the profits went to Sanders It ss,aid that at the time of his death there lEre between 50 and 75 men working for him in this way.
 "He was the best man on the street, said one of his employees this morning "He was always ready to help any of the boys if they got in trouble, and he came to the front every time.
 "Why, he would pay the boys fines when they got arrested, and he was tho most charitable man in the business. He was known from Maine to California.
 Sanders was a Mason of the thirty sec ond degree. He took his last degree only short time ago. He was also an Odd Fellow, member of Cornncopia lodge New York Sun

A Peculiar Lawsuit.

A case has just been decided in Paris which is peculiar in it's character. An &C., tress had a policy for 5000 covering her per sonal effects and jewelry,
 Her maid gathered. up some. loose papers one night which were thrown into the fire, and it was afterward discoyered pair of pearl pendants worth s2,000 had been thrown into the fire with the papers.
 She sued to recover under the policy, and the insurance company contested on the ground that the policy covered only damage from accidental fires, and that the pearls had been thrown into the fire pur- posely.
 The judge decided to the contrary, how ever, giving the actress a verdict for the full amount of the policy and the costs of the suit.

CUBA AND SPAIN.
A Monarchical Government In Republican
 America Is an Anomaly.

A Monarchical Government In Republican
 America Is an Anomaly.
 Supposing no international complica- tions arise, tho United States government cannot touch the struggle of the Cuban insurgents. Our government has no con cern with the question, no right to meddie with 1t. But every American cfitizen wor thy of his birthright wishes that the Gu ban rebels might prevail. and throw into the sea the authority of Spain in this hem isphere, never to be raised again over Cuba.
 The Spanish monarchy on this side of the water, governing foreign country de- siring self government, is an anomaly. It is an untimely and outlandish outrage on the principles asserted successfully by tho colonies of the United States. The entire population of North and South America, all republicans, want to see the power of Spain withdrawn to it's own soil, and Cuba left to the destiny it's citizens can make for it. Free Cuba of any form of govern ment, but self governing, is tho hope on this side of the Atlantic today. It is tho inevitable fact of tomorrow.
 All the efforts of the gallant Cubans to mako that morrow come as soon as possi ble are backed by the living sympathies of the North American Union.--New York Sun
