rho snng Of Lhe Nlghtingnlo.

Iark' From the depths of the strag- sling thicket which skirts the wood there comes now a sound in which there is something cWiously weird when heard for the inst time and from a distance. IL is a bird singing in the night Clear soft and distinct, the notes rise and fall in the silence, IL is the nightingale; this is a Cayorlte haunt of the birds. 1t is surprising how far the sound travels; even after a quarter of a mile has been trayersed in its direction 1t is still q considerable distance off Similar sounds come now from the copses above, but the birds have each appropriated a situation; solitary they sit without changing posi- ton, each in continuous song through out the night. It is thc male bird sits on the nest.
 IL is only a few steps from the thlcket at last and the songstcr cannot be more than twenty yards off, You do not wonder now at the estimate of the extraordinary quality of the bird's song, nor that it should have stirred the tongues of men to strophss in many languages. Full rich and liquid, the notes fall with a strange loudness into the still night. Yet it is not so much the form of the song itself which is remarkable as the passion with which it seems to thrill. Sweet. sw-e- e-t SW-e-e-e-t-loWer and tenderer the long draWn-Out notes come, the last of the series prolonged till the air vibratcs as if a wire had been struck, and the solitary singer seems almost to choke with the oVermastering intensity of feeling in the final effort.
 The stars shine through the feathery branches of the silver birches as you listen; the hoarse bay of the watch dog still comes at intervals on the br5eze; far down the valley burns the red eye of the railway signal; in the distance a cOal-train is slowly panting southWard, a pillar of fire seeming to precede it when the white light from the engine fire shines upon the steam; but the bird still sings on and on. It is lost in a world to which you have no key; it hae not changed it's position nor ceased it's song since sunset, and it will be singing still with the dawn. Strangenfnity of nature! Thus must it's kind have sung here while the name of England was yet unfashioned on mems lips. and it was still 8 path less wood to the northern Thames. Thus do the birds sing still on the frlnges of modern Babylon, obllvious and indifferent to all that men consid- er the vast import of the seething life beyond.-Benjamin Kidd in the Gen. tury.

THY CONYESy N CJ7p

The Cuban rebels, or more sortly, n- surgents, appear to he doing well. aI- though 1t is impossible to tell just what is happening, If they are able to meu- ace Havana im the way they are said to be doing they have certainly made great progress against the spanish troops, + seems to be a fact that Cam pos has reueated from point 10 point until he has found shelter in Havana and is now hard at work strengthening the detensos Of that city,
 There may be great news from Cuba within the next few weeks, or even days, One side or the other is likely to receive a serious setback soon. That the insurgents have been able to do what they have done is astonishing when it is considered that they are waging war against a trained and cap- able army under a general who ranks among the first military men of Europe. General Campos' force is composed in part of veterans who have had a taste of war in Morocco and elsewhere. The Spanish troops are as well armed as they could be. No expense has been spared at Madrid to fit out the cxpcdi- ton in q manner that would make it effective. The land force numbers at the least calculation Counting Spanish volunteers in Cuba and the civil guard) 10o00 men, and about all the first class ships of the navy hover along the coast.
 But the, insurgents are fighting for liberty and the right. Their cause is a noble one and nobly inspires them. Ii they cannot win a decisive battle now they may be able to wear Spain out. It is said that Spain is expending $2 100000 week in carrying on this var, and that she is experiencing diff culty in negotiating the necessary loans cd that the Spaniardg can carry on war successfully in Cuba during the hot weather. So, taking everything into consideration, the outlook is surprising ly favorable for the insurgents. This country has very properly remained neutral in the struggle but there will be general joy here if Cuba becomes Free

InderSt0nd English.

About fortnight ago I was given a fox terrier on condition that if it did not suit me I should return it to the donor Last Sunday evening I was sit ting in the drawing room with my wife, the dog lying on his mat by the fire. I said that I was dissatisfied with the dog and should write and offer to return him. My wife urged me to do so then and there, and, after discussing the matter for a short time, got up to pen the letter, As I did so, the servant came to take the dog for a run prior to turning in for the night. No sooner was the garden door opened than off went the dog, full speed, into the dark ness, and has not been heard of since
 He had always been taken out in the same way before, and had always come

BolWar's country is the republic of
 South America that stands nearest to
 New York, and when people come to know more concerning 1t, I am sure
 they will take to visiting it and its cap
 ltal, the Paris of South America" in
 the winter months, as they now go to southern Europe or to the Medlterra- mean. There are many reasons for
 their doing so. In the first place, it can
 be reached in less than six days, and it | is the only part of South America to which one can go without first crossing the Isthmus of Panama and then talk 1 ing long trip down the western coast,
 or sailing for nearly a month along the eastern coast; and it is q wonderfully 1 beautiful country, and its cities of Ca racas and Valencia are typical of the best South American cities When you have seen them you have an intelligent idea of what the others are like; and when you read about revolutions in Rio Janeiro, or Valparaiso, or Buenos Ayres, you will have in your minds g eye the background for all of these dra- matic uprisngs, and you will feel supe- rior to other people who do not know that the republic of Venezuela is larger than France, Spain and Portugal to- gether, and that the inhabitants of this great territory are less in number than those of New York city.
 La Guayra is the chief seaport of Venezuela. It lies at the edge of a chain of great mountains, where they come down to wet their feet in the ocean, and Caracas, the capital, is slowed away four thousand feet higher up behind these mountains, and could only be bombarded in time by war by shells that would rise like rockets and drop on the other side of the noun
 tains, and so cover distance quite
 nine miles away from the vessel that
 fired them. Above La Guayra, on the
 hill, is a little fortress which was once the residence of the Spanish governor
 when Venezuela was a colony of Spain.
 It is of interest now chiefly because
 Charles Kingsley describes it in West
 ward Ho' as the fortress in which the Rose of Devon was imprisoned. Past | this fortress, and up over the noun tains to the capital are mule trail and an ancient wagon road and a mod ern railway.
 It is a very remarkable railroad: it's
 tracks cling to the perpendicular sur
 face of the mountain like the tiny ten
 drils of vine on stone wall, and the
 trains creep and crawl along the edge of it's precipices, or twist themselves
 into the shape of a horses shoe magnet,
 so that the engineer on the locomotive
 can look directly across a bottomless chasm into the windows of the last car. The view from this train, while it pants and puffs on it's way to the capital, is the most beautiful combination of ssa and plain and mountain that I have
 ever seen.--Richard Harding Davis in Harper's.

THAT FIN1NCI4L CONSPIR1CY


 The latest is that some of the big ffnanciers of London have recovered enough confidence in the stability of this country to enable them to talk about taking some bonds if they can get them right. They know a good bar gain when they see one, and they are just as willing to make a little money out of the needs of this country as of any other Of all the talk that has been flying about during the last week or two none has been more foolish than the talk about a conspiracy of English financiers to ruin this country upon it at a heavy loss to themselves. There were, of course, some English financiers, as well as American ones, who thought it was a good time to sell their holdings or to sell "short." Some of those who sold saved or made some money, and some of the English finan- ciers who sold got nicely caught As the story goes, when the houses sold the stocks they were paid for them with checks. They took the checks to drawers of sterling exchange and tried to buy bills on London with them
 The exchange dealers said they could not take the checks in payment for their bills. They must have green backs, which could be utilized in ob- taining gold coin from the sub-treas- ury or gold bars from the assay office. Then the effort was made to get green backs for the checks at the banks, but it was unsuccessful. There was now nothing left to be done except to rc- purchase the stocks which had been sold. The checks could be used in pay ing for them, but additional checks for $5 a share for St. Paul and $4 a share for Louisville and Nashville had to be supplied. Tn several instances the for eign houses bought from the very brokers 10 whom they had sold, and the checks that had been made out to them were indorsed over to the issu- CTS and never passed through the clear ing house at ali. In the netghborhood Of $1OO0OO was lost by the foreign houses in St. Paul and Louisville alone by their inability to utilize their checks in buying bills of exchange. They had the same experience in other stocks and in bonds. and their aggregate losses were probably somewhere near $250, GOO.
 Of course there was no conspiracy against the English in this operation. They simply got caught, as many oth- CTS have been when they thought they had q good and q sure thing.

 Though the dress that the artist sketches here was not nearly so eEpen- siye as the one just described it is not to be mentioned lightly, being itself al- most enough to make ones voice sink to TeVer2nt whisper. Tobacco brown wooden stuff was its material Its jacket bodice had a tiny ripple basque and was entirely covered with ap~ pljnu2d white satin stars bordered with spangles. The wide revers and the col lar Were banded with Russian sable and the sleeves were slashed on the inner side as far as the elbows to al low lace frills to escape. Stock collar and belt were black velvet, and the vest of satin and lace stripes, for which the colors may be either white or pale yellow. Huge fancy buttons and bands of the fur trimmed the wide, stiffened skirt.
 Black satin is much used for evening coat bodices. A very swell affair is a coat bodice with round low neck, open ing in front over white satin yelled in spangled white chiffon and remotely taking the place of a waistcoat, and the elaborate hip and back skirts being really all that makes the bodice coat. A sailor collar of white satin, also spangled and that narrows to the waist may be added to follow the line of the coat. FLOREI | l..
