kYRLE BELIEVES VANITY.
How It Was Once Sadly Disconnected by an
American Girl.

American Girl
There had been lively discussions
some years ago over then seemingly
important question theatrically, and in
deed socially. WAS or was not Kyrle
Bellew possessed of great vanity?''
believe the matter has never been
definitely settled, though in an individ-
ual instance recall it would seem there
was valid ground for decision in the
affirmative.
The occasion was an informal "even-
ing" at Mrs. Lester Wallack's, and
gathered about one of the tables were
two or three young ladies, Mr.. Bellew
and other men. Bellew had some bits of
paper in his hands, from which he was
idly fashioning little boats. II hear, !"
he drawled, addressing no one in par
ticular, THAT your American navy is
badly in need of ships. ! propose &c
remedy the trouble by presenting you
with few" One girl spoke up quickly
in slightly sarcastic vein, II am sure
we all render sincere thanks in the
name of the American navy"
The actor favored her by an especially
comprehensive glance, and finishing his
boat penciled few lines ON it and
rather patronizingly tossed it over to
her.
The girl picked the boat up slowly
(this was the first occasion she had mes
Mr. Bellew) and read: my love to you.
Kyrle Bellew." A rather vivid flush
oyerspread her face, but looking the
young man steadily in the eyes she said
In tones sufficiently clear for compre-
hension, ''The sentiment inscribed here
Indicating the paper boat) is surely too
much of an honor for amy one woman
to aspire to; so, with your permission,
MFR. Bellew, will take it home, rattle
1t and-send you the proceeds. - She
then rose, bowed and left the table, at
the same time leaving MIR. Bellew sufsi-
ciently disconnected to bite his lips and
permit his brow the shadow of frown.

EoREsT OBSERVATIONS.
There Nill BE q Fight on the House AKeaa-
:, ure in the senate

There Wili BE Fight on the House Meaa-
ure ia the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. considerable
interest has been manifested in the
West over the prospect of the passage
Of the bill for the protection Of forest
reservations, and it has become evident
since the bin passed the house, that
&c will encounter no inconsiderable OPP
position in the senate. The bill, when
1t first went into the senate, was re-
ferred to the committee ON public
lands, bnt the reference was changed
afterwards, and it then went to the
committee on forest reservations, of
which Senator Allen of Nebraska is
chairman. The necessity of proper
care OF the forests for the preservation
Of the timber and the conservation of
the water supply in all the arid noun
tain states and territories is generally
admitted, even by those who oppose
the pending bill, but they contend that
the selections of land for such reserva.
tions u have been made
Were Made Hastily f~.
without an adequate understanding of
the conditions provided. They assert
that many of the reservations are far
more extensive than they need be, and
that they operate to prevent the settle
ment OF large areas OF country, which
might otherwise become productive.
IL is asserted by them that timber
only holds the snow in the higher
mountainous regions, and that many
OF the reservations made, especially in
Colorado, California and Wyoming,
extend to regions where the snow does
not lie at all There is also objection
TO the principle Of using the standing
army as guard for the reservation.
Probably the objection to placing the
privilege OF cutting timber within the
discretion Of the secretary of the inte.
rior, which was made in the house,
win also be revived in the senate.

-
Everybody knows that the word mac
pronounced in Gaelic machk) means
son, SO that, for example, Macdonald
literally means the son of Donald. But
it is not generally known that when a
woman is spoken of the highlanders
substitute for mac the feminine mich,
which means daughter; that the voca-
tive of mac is vichk 1--WE spell phonet-
ically), which always replaces mac
when person is addressed, and that
the nominative plural is michk (sons)
or claun {childrenl. Sir Walter Scott s
ignorance of Gaelic frequently led him
into error upon these points, both III his
poetry and in his novels.
The meaning of the Gaelic word clan,
40 just stated, is children, and the obe-
dience which clansmen owed to their
chief was considered by them rather as
the affectionate obedience due by chill
dren to father than as that duo by SUBJ
jects to ruler. They believed them
selves to be all blood relations descend
ed from common ancestor, Of which
their chief was the living representa-
tive. The clansman who hesitated to
save his chiefs life at the expense of
his own was regarded as coward who
fed from his fathers side in the hour
of peril On the other hand, the chief
was expected at all times to acknowl-
edge the neanest of his clan as his re-
iation and to shake hands with him
wherever they might happen TO meet.
Enbordinate to the chief and generally
related to him were the chieftains and
tacksmen. III London Spectator.

THE SPANISH TARIFF.

His Proclamation For Dlscrim-
mating Duties.
HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
Report That Spain Will Allow the
Colony to Arrange It's Own Tariff
Is Confirmed.

4 WASHINGTON, Jan, 3.--The officials
of the state department have about
concluded their investigation into the
discriminating duties recently imposed
by Spain upon American goods. and it
is not unlikely that the president will
very soon issue his proclamation irn-s
posing discriminating fiag duties upon
Spanish goods imported in Spanish
bottoms. One question has arisens
however, viz whether the new duty
levied by Spain includes all American
goods or any other such as are imported
in American ships. II is presumed
that the new duty viii embrace all
American goods. but if II is found that.
this is not the case, the procedure Of
our officials may take al different course,
It Is well understood that i'm any event
the action of Spain very soon will be
met by some vigorous measure OF re-
taliation. ..

hope OF averting a tariff war.

Besides SPANS action i'm granting q

The bill has been framed by the Span

posed to withhold the issuance of re-

will give the United States much better
advantages than it now has. The new
measure is expected to become law

of tariff relations between Cuba and
the United States. At the same time
