Mrs. Cleyeland's HAPPINESS.

Mrs. Cleveland thinks the highest
earthly happiness is an attainment that
is entirely matter Of environment and
circumstance, and that, to the woman
of domestic tastes, it goes without say
ing that the home life, with little chill
dren to bless and sanctify the home,
is the greatest field of contentment and
enjoyment in woman's experience.
Years ago. when Mrs. Cleveland was
a bride, and was making tour Of the
States with the President, she was 4
visitor at a county fair in Kentucky.
AS the Presidents party was driven in,
to the arena where the prize cattle
were to be exhibited, small boy sang
out: Put the blue ribbon on frankie.
She isn't often spoken of nowadays as
Frankie" but she still wears the blue
ribbon, that denotes feminine superb
ority and common sense.

Consul Robertson, at Hamburg, act
ing on instructions from the State De-
partment at Washington, has obtained
permission from the chief Of the Ham
burg Foreign Office to procure samples
and an analysis Of any American dried
apples which may in the future be con-
hscated On the ground that they are
alleged to contain zinc This action is
taken with view of stopping the con.
fiscation of American apples by Ger
man authorities. He should do his
duty fearlessly and remove the SLAM
Ger that Americans are willing to lose
money putting expensive poisons in
their food goods. Dried apples affect
society. There is nothing like dried
apples for swell party.

AS to the Ideal Husband.

An ideal husband is first of all thor
ough Christian. He is truthful. affec-
tionate and ambitious. One who is
thoughtful of those around him and a
lover Of home, music and children. A
man who is not given to Boosting or
conceit; he is generous, amiable, ready
to lend a helping hand in the kitchen,
garden or sick room and thorough
gentleman. Prudent and industrious;
leaving good impressions wherever he
goes. An ideal husband must be brave,
true, generous, loving, sensible, gentle,
kind clever, we'll educated, one in
whom l can place the most implicit
confidence, he must have always loved
his mother, he must love his mother
in-law for his wife's sake. one whom
his wife can look up to and feel proud
of, he must be good to his own children.
If he goes to his club he is always at
home at reasonable time.

With the passage of the arbitration
act and the naming Of the arbitration
board by Gov. Altgeld a new chapter of
the industrial history Of Illinois opens
Just what that chapter is to contain no
economist or student Of labor troubles
can foretell The experiment of arbi-
tration-as applied through the law
is attended with circumstances which
often render its results doubtful. It's
success is largely dependent upon the
wisdom Of the authorities who admins
ter it. One of the suspicious signs con-
corning the new law is the evident gen
eral opinion among students Of the
subject that the measure is in most
respects to meet the requirements. 1t
follows the general plan of the Massa-
chusetts law, moreover, and that law
has been unexpectedly successful. AL
together it is not unreasonable to hope
that the law will have the effect of
mitigating labor troubles and awaken
ing sentiment of tolerance on both
sides Of the Industrial struggle.

The latest piece of British claim
jumping is annoying, but it is doubtful
whether we can make the Monroe doc
trine fit it without unduly straining the
principle. The Brazilian island of
Trinidad lies in the South Atlantic, in
the longitude of the Azores, which per-
tain geographically to Europe. 1t is
between two and three days voyage by
steamer from the nearest point of the
South American coast. In fact, it can
barely be considered as belonging to the
western hemisphere. OF course, we are
not bound to guarantee the outlying
possessions of American republics, how
ever clear their title may be. The Mon
roe doctrine deals with the American
continents, and such islands as lie in
such close relations with them as to at
feet their safety. 1t was inspired by
the threat of league of European des-
potic sovereigns to carve up the Span
ish-American republics into kingdoms
ruled on their own principles. 1t was
for us a matter of self-preservation.
There can be no such question with re-
gard to the British occupation Of a rock
in the middle of the Atlantic. Never
theless this cool larceny of Brazilian
property cannot fail to create very I'M
pleasant impression in the United
States, and to intensity the general de-
termination to deal firmly with British
entertainments within the sphere of the
Monroe doctrine. 1t is in Venezuela
that the line will probably have to be
drawn first, if we are not compelled to
draw it on our own Alaskan frontier.
1t is intimated that the Venezuelans
will find it much harder to reach
peaceful settlement with Salisbury
than they would have found it with
Rosebery. There is no reason why they
should. If we give them proper back
ing it will make no difference what par
ty may be in power in England. Sails
bury can accept the inevitable as well
as anybody else, and by his Trinidad
exploit he has made further concessions
to him impossible.

1t Meant Mutiny.

One morning a British man-of-war
was seen entering Hongkong harbor
with the ensign inverted, which is the
usual sign of ''mutiny on board" I'm
mediately this was noticed couple of
man-Ofwar cutters put out, full OF
blue-j Jackets, and dashed across the har-
Dor toward where the newcomer had
anchored.
Perhaps it was a little regatta enthu-
siasm, or perhaps it was purely the splr-
it of duty which stimulated them, but
anyhow most exciting race ensued-
in fact, there was narrow escape OF
a bad smash as they reached the YES
sci. There the officers and some Of the
crew were at the taffrail, shouting
themselves hoarse and reckoning to
the two boats to come on faster. AT
last, half dead with their eXertions, yet
eager for the fray with the mutineers,
the tars tumbled on board and were
warmly complimented on their rowing
pace. 1t must have blown them badly.
Would they have drink?
"a what? Where is the mutiny?'
gasped the senior officer in charge of
the boarding party.
''Mutiny! There's no mutiny in this
ship. We are all the best of friends, -
was the reply.
''Then why did you want us? You
yelled loud enough"
eve thought it was Hongkong regat-
ia day and were cheering the winners -
Staggered for a moment, the officer
pointed inquiringly at the ensign, still
Haunting it's appeal for aid that was
not required.
ooh, d-n the boy! He always puts
it up wrong is we don't watch him
simply out of stupidity. Let's all &C
and punch his head"

DR.. F. w. Reilly, Of the Chicago
Board of Health, may be a great and
good man. Probably he is. Perhaps
he may be an authority on scientific
matters pertaining to disease. But
when he promulgates a theory which
strikes at the very foundation Of one Of
the greatest institutions of civilized life
we think it is high time to protest. DR..
Reilly has issued a circular letter warn
ing the public against the danger Of
kissingtand suggests that as measure
Of precaution the lips be sprayed with
carbolized rosewater before and after
OSCILLATION. While the Doctor does not
expressly say so, in so many words,
we have no doubt that he would advo-
cate having a third party upon the oscu-
lating pair with an atomizer during the
period of kissing. Imagine young
man leaving his inamorata at the gate.
He lifts her cherry lips, gazes into her
eyes, heaves a sigh and remarks: 81
am very sorry, dear, but I forgot to
bring along my sterilizing apparatus!'
The carbolized kiss doesn't 'go," Doc
tor-never in thousand,years.

Flies.


Eye troubles are extensively propa-
gated in Egypt by certain small HES,
which carry germs from one lndlvlduai
to another being attracted by the
moisture of the organ. Two American
entomologists have recently discovered
that similar complaints are occasioned
quite extensively in this country by
flies of the same kind, or, at all events,
of nearly related species. At least two
species Of these insects are found IN
great numbers in the South, and there
is one species in the neighborhood OF
Washington. One species is very plen-
tiful in Florida, where whole schools
and communities sometimes suffer from
epidemics Of sore eyes thus caused,
the effects being serious and lasting.
Of the same family as the common
house fly is the terrible "tsetse," which
renders parts Of Africa practically I'M
inhabitable. It is one of the greatest
obstacles to civilization in the Dark
Continent, because it makes the keep
ing of domestic animals impossible.
Horses and mules die in a night from
a single bite, and cattle likewise. Even
the elephant succumDS to the poison.
The nature Of the latter is unknown,
though happily it is not fatal or even
very serious to man. This abominable
insect, which is somewhat smaller than
the house fly. frequents marshes and
Watering places. Its loud and peculiar
buzz will render a caravan panic
stricken in an instant
