CUBAN independence is becoming live question of the day. It is stirring Spain from center to circumference. The Ma tional Legislature of Spain came near splitting Into pieces the other day over this question. A leads-g Republican ad- vocated the independence of Cuba. The Spanish Premier, who is a strong mon arch ist, replied that Spain would spend her last dollar and shed her last drop Of blood before she would reliuquish the island. Spain threatens to become divided into two factions on the matter. If the revolution Uoes come it will mean a bitter struggle. The Governor of Cuba Is appointed by the Spanish government, and has under him Q standing army of COCO Spanish soldiers. Tie independence of Cuba will mean & great deal to this country.

MR. THOMAS HOWARD of the Harrison. Howard Pipe Works suggests in the Age of Steel that American consus should study business matters more closely. He refers to the loss of large Chilian order because of the ignorance of the American consul. The order for pipe from Japan was drawn according to American specifications. His idea is in line with the recent action of the Commercial Club, which passed resolu ton favoring the establishments of consular schools for the purpose of instructing American youth for consular service. An American consul is really the business agent of his country-he has little or noth- ing to do with diplomacy or international questions. He should learn the laws of trade and business rules and regulations of the country to which he is sent. The day, has passed for making consular position the reward of party service.

Tr1mmer's Rock. &c.

Those civil engineers of the
|"Pennsy" are still at work in this vi
cinIty near Trimmer's rock. Last
week they ran line from below this
point across the river. tho ce through
Howe township, striking the river
again al Michael Oren's place, op,o-
site Newport. This route, while it
would recessitate the building of two
br- -dges, would cut off at least q mile,
and avoid the sharp curves, not alons
at Trimmer's rock, but also above and
below Newport. 1t would be much
the safer, and probably less expen-
slve in the long run. Gossip has it,
that the coLpany is thinking of run
ming the line on the north side of the
Juniata, striking the old canal bed at
Millerstown dam, and following it to
a connection with the msin line above
Lewistown. This would be an i'm
po :tant undertaking, but it is doubt
full il the company is considering it
very seriously. That something will
be done, however, toward the obliter-
alton of the dangerous curves at
Trimmer's Rock and vicinity before
long is pretty generally believed

Glory Waits Thee"into excellent French
verse, attributed it to Nine. La Comtesse
de Chateaubriand, and charged Moore
with having stolen it bodily. The song,
"Lesbia Hath Beaming Eye he rem
dered into choice Latin, and claimed as
youthful production of his own, which
he had orce shown to Moore. Another
of Prout's achievements was the transla-
ton of Wolfe's Burial of Sir John
Moore" into French, claiming, at the
same time, that the lines were written
by Colonel de Beaumonoie, who was
killed at Pondicherry in 1749. Not sat-
isfied with this. he proceeded further
and translated the same lines into Ger
man verse, and stoutly declared that
while Wolfe had stolen from the French
poet, the latter had in turn pilfered from
the German, the latter poem having, as
he stated, been written to commemorate
the death and burial of the Swedish
General Toistenson, who was killed at
the siege of Dantzig. Poor Wolfe was
dumbfounded at seeing his popularity
disappear, and was not much comforted
when the hoax was discovered.

For a Sweet Breath.

From among score of paragraphs on
the methods of relief from an offensive
breath an experienced physician selected
the following:
Don't expect to have clean teeth or
sweet breath while there is a tinge of
white on the tongue. 1t is an unmis-
taxable evidence of Indigestion. Drink
sour lemonade, eat ripe fruit and green
vegetables for purgatives; exercise freely,
use plenty of water internally and ex-
ternally and keep up the treatment I'M
til the mouth is clean, healthy and red.
Various things are suggested to counter
act an unpleasant breath resulting from
a bad tooth or garlic scented dishes.
Cinnamon, mint, creams, orris root,
cloves, mastic resin. and spruce gum
will disguise some odors. Ten DROPS of
tincture of myrrh in glass of water
will sweeten and refresh the mouth; a
teaspoonful of spirits of camphor or pep
permint in the same gargle is among the
very best antiseptics. and few drops of
myrrh and camphor in the water are
recommended in case of cold, throat
trouble, or any slight indisposition which
may affect the breath"

According to old English superstition.
st. Hilary's Day, the 14th of January, or,
according to some, the 18th, is the cold
est day in the year. 1t is said by anti
quarians that this is to be traced to a
remarkable spell of cold weather occur
ring in the year 1905. More probably
the idea arose from st. Hilary's Day
falling in mid winter in the midst Of the
coolest month of the year.
1t is curious that the feast of this
great father of the Christian Church to
whom the survival of the Nicene Creed
is more directly due than to any one
else, is chiefly remembered as weather
day. Certainly St. Hillary weather has
passed into proverb. The day is also
remem bered in England as the opening
of the winter term of Oxford and Cam
bridge, hence called the Hilary term. 1t
is curious to look over the record Of Il Q
thermometer for the last score of years
and note how frequently in this country
the coolest weather has occurred in jan
uary. Though our climate is more va
riable than that of England. and sudden
periods of intense cold may occur in De-
cember or in February, they are not II Q
rule, but rather the exception.-Neac

CHINESE FILIAL PIETY.

According to the Chinese teaching,
one of the instances of unfilial conduct
is found in selfish attachment 10 wife
and children In the chapter of the
Sacred Edict already quoted, this beha-
vior is mentioned in the same connection
with gambling, and the exhortations
against each are of the same kind The
typical instance of true filial devotion
among the twenty-fonr just mentioned,
is a man who lived in the Han Dynasty,
and who, being very poor, found that he
had not sufficient food to nourish both
his mother and his child, three years of
age 1--WE are so poor" he said to his
wife. "that we cannot even support
mother. Moreover, the little one shares
mothers food. Why not bury the child?
We may have another, but if mother
His wife dared not oppose him, and &C.
cordingly hole was dug more than two
feet deep, when vase of gold was found
with a suitable inscription, stating that
heaven bestowed IulS TeWdTu vi q lllldi
son. If the golden vase had not emerged,
the child would have been buried alive,
and according to the doctrine of filial
piety as commonly understood, rightly
So Selfish attachment to wife and
children must not hinder the murder of
child to prolong the life of it's grand
parent. The Chinese believe that there
are cases of obstinate illness of parents
which can only be cured by the offering
of portion of the flesh of son or
| daughter, which must be cooked and
eaten by the unconscious parent. While
the favorable results are not certain,
they are very probable. The Picking Ga
zette frequently contains references to
cases of this Sort The writer is person
ally acquainted with young man who
cut off slice of his leg to cure his
mother, and who exhibited the scar with
the par donable pride of an old soldier
! While such cases are doubtless not very
common, they are probably not excess
sively rare. The stories given of the
filial piety of the Chinese often seem be-

FIRST QUARTER.
INTRODUCTION.
MATTHEW 10: 1923.

More than a year before our lesson
date Jesus had declared to a seeking soul
at Jacobs Well that he was the Christ
Then he had kept the momentous fact in
reserve. Fe had not told even his disci
pies that he lived in the expectation of full
filling the manifold prophecy of Coming
One who would redeem his people Israel,
ami be light to Tighten the Gentiles. He
had preferred no claim upon the Jews as
being their expected Messiah But
now Jesus makes plain announcement
that he is the Christ Yet he follows this
tardy announcement with the charge that
they shall tell no man that he is Jesus the
Christ. - Why this singular reserve in
stating such central fact? Why had he
told woman of Samaria what he could
not tell his own people or even his Twelve?
The explanation is in the peculiar
kind of Christ which was rooted in the
common Jewish expectation. They were
impatiently looking for a prophet who
would in magic surpass all the magicans !;
warrior greater than David or Alexan-
der; king who would make luxuries more
abundant for Israel than were known in
the days of Solomon or than the Romans
knew in imperial Rome. The expectation
of this kind of a Christ was ingrained in
the Jewish people; it was fanatical, pas
sionate, stubborn. Truly Jesus could not
during the first two years of his ministry,
have declared he was the Christ to any
.oul of whom we have the knowledge
<cepting only the woman of Samaria,-
sithout being understood as making a
claim that he was the Christ the Jews were

cannot afford to sneer at the shortness
of their life.
They we're at any rate mobile; for they
could be carried on pony's back or
stacked together by the half dozen in
"barricades of wood" borne on wheels.
Moreover they did good service more than
once, as for instance at Newburn and at
Cropredy Bridge. Later on they seem
to have fallen into disrepute, for we hear
of the "leather guns by which the King
and country hath been cheated;" though
even at Killiecrankie Mackay had some

with him.
We may remember that in the French
Revolution there were enthusiasts who
proposed to set all the coopers in Paris
to work at the construction Of wooden
guns. Milton seems to have had some
thing of the sort in his mind when he
describes the artillery of the rebellious
angels:
Like to pillars most they seemed,
Or followed bodies made of oak or fir
With branches Topped:
But the guns themselves were brass,
