The Mora Claim.

In the year 1870 the Spanish govern
ment seized, without shadow Of right,
the property Of an American citizen,
Antonio Maxine Mora, in Cuba. The
citizen complained to his government
at home. A claim for indemnity was
thereupon made against Spain. -
After the usual method Of claims
against government, the matter Jagged
and hung fire till 1886. Then during the
first presidency of Grover Cleveland,
while Bayard was secretary of state, the
claim was again presented, and Spain
promised to pay 100000. =
So the matter has stood ever since.
Spain promised to pay, but never did.
When a request was made that she settle
up, she presented as all offset some in
juries and losses sustained by Spanish
subjects in Florida during our civil war.
The United States replied that she was
| prepared to arbitrate these Florida
claims and would pay whatever dam.
ages, if any, were proper. Meantime,
however, the Mora claim had been &C
knowledged by Spain and her promise
had been made to pay. When Spain set
tied that, this government would arbi
trate the Florida matter +
This was just and square. Still, how
ever, Spain did not pay. She took refug'
in silence. It is this Mora claim Of ST,

The Good Government Movement.
The editoref The C>-:' Try thinks that
the movement for good city government
in this country is something very like a
genuine religious revival. It is spread
ing through the length and breadth of
the land. One of the best signs in con-
nection with it is that mothers and good
women are taking so much interest in
it. If it means anything permanent,
says The Century, "this movement
means less selfish and more consecrat-
ed spirit OH the part Of the average citi-
zen. 1t means the subordination of per-
sonal and private aims to the common
welfare.''
The editor gives his opinion as to
who is to blame for bad city govern
ment as follows:
The truth is that the source of all this bad
city government is in the hearts Of the 1seople
who live in the best residence quarters and
do business in the tall buildings and sit i'm the
best seats of our churches A great many OF
them directly interested in the perDetua.
ton Of bad city governments. Assessors who
could not he bribed and city councils that
would not give away franchises are precisely
what they do not covet. But those who are not
so directly Implicated either so busy with
their own affairs that they wholly neglect
their most solemn obligations or else SO sordic
and cowardly that they are unwilling tt
risk gain or popularity by openly opposing tn,
evil. 1t is not so much by what these ''bes
citizens" have done as by what they have fail
ed to do that our cities are humiliated. Their,

damned are consigned to the everlasting fl,
prepared for the devil and his angels VIVA

Why Do Children Tell Lies?

We give it up. We have often Won
dered why grown people tell lies, but
have never been able to answer the ques-
tion satisfactorily. If, however, children
lie from different reason than the one
that prompts grown people to do so, per-
haps DR.. Nathan Oppenheimer lays be-
fore us that reason in The Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Most people think young ones tell lies
from mere depravity. DIR. Oppenheimer
says not. Ho finds scientific cause for
childhood's departure from truth. He
remarks that the "origin is to be sought
in the fundamental workings Of tho
mind' A child sees or hears something.
It makes all impression Oh his mind
that is to say, the idea of the thing is
conveyed to his brain through his sight
or hearing. Then his mind conceives it
and returns his conception to the outer
world again in speech. To do this COR
rectly there must be brain capable Of
forming an accurate idea, then, second,
a brain capable Of transmitting the idea
accurately back. If the child's brain is
not fully or tremendously developed,
then either its ideas or the expression Of
them or both will be defective. Few
children's brains arc tremendously de-
veloped, therefore they are often uncon-
scious liars.
This scientific explanation Of infantile
lying, that 1T is caused by imperfect
brain action. is no doubt as true as it is
beautiful. But somehow we have no.
ticed that many of the greatest liars
among children are those who have had
frequent opportunity to hear their par
ents tell white lies at home. It is odd,
but it is also scientifically true. Perhaps

country is found by The Engineering
and Mining Journal to be less, measured
in money, by $62, 554, 996 in 1894 than
it was in 1898. This was loss of 10
per cent. The falling off, however, was
greater in value than in quantity, the
prices paid being lower last year than
they were in 1898.

Valuable Nut Tree.

II this country ever becomes so thick
~ populated that there will be room for
no more great thousand acre wheat
fields, we can take useful lesson from
the Italians and cat chestnut bread. In
deed, for persons who cannot eat starchy
foods, chestnut bread would be more
wholesome than wheat, corn or rye
bread, since all the cereal foods are full
Of starch. -, -....
Americans have not an idea Of the
economic value of the chestnut tree,
which, if it were planted and culti>,.v
ed, would thrive here quite as well as
it does in Italy. We are as ignorant as
we'll of tuc value Of most Of the other
nut bearin. trees. So far as it has been
tried, which has ,4.2v been to a slight
extent, the Japanese chestnut is supe-
rior III orr country to tire native Ameri
can.
In Italy the peasant family that own
even ono large chestnut tree are sure OF
living. Do they want bread? The
nuts are peeled and ground fine, and the
flour they make is as white as that pre-
pared from wheat by the American
"patent' process. Do they want pota-
toes or vegetables of any kind? The
chestnuts are boiled, baked with meat,
roasted or made into soup. The Older
tree is the more fruit it bears and
the moro valuable it therefore becomes.
It sometimes yields SO abunttantly that
after half it's crop is gathered aud stored

If a man is determined to be fool
and go in for the marvellous, it will do
we'll enough for him to trust to the ad-
vice Of clairvoyance in everything but
business matters. Then he should con-
suit an old fashioned earthly sharp who
has had great experience in the line
about which the inquirer wishes to
know. He will thus avoid the trouble
into which the man from Kalamazoo,
Mich. got himself. A man from so ia
NOUS city ought to have known better,
but this man consulted clairvoyant
about buying some alleged mineral lands
in Missouri. oh, yes, they were rich
very rich-the clairvoyant said! Gold
was there, other valuable minerals were
there, and aae would become million.
aire if he bought them. The man from
Kalamazoo acted on the clairvoyant's
advice to the extent of planking down
$47, $50 for the fabulously rich mining
lands. |@Oh, the gold, the gold!' he
said to himself, even in his dreams, but
when he woke from his dear dream hi
found himself saddled with q great body
Of land that would hardly feed wood
chuck. Now he sues to get his money
back. He ought to lose it, every cent
for being such a pulpy idiot, so as t.

lots. We Dare not denying that there i.
