1t viii be seen from the correspondence
herewith submitted that this propo-
sition has been declined by the British
government on grounds, which, under
the circumstances seem to me far from
satisfactory. 1t IL deeply dlsapponL-
ing that such an appeal actuated by
the most friendly feeling toward both
nations directly concerned, addressed
to the sense Of justice and the mag
nanimity Of one of the great powers
of the world touching It's relations TO
one comparatively weak and small,
should have produced no better re-
suits. The course to be pursued by
this government in view Of the pres
ent conditions does not appear to admit
of serious doubt. Having labored
faithfully many years to induce Great
Britain to submit the dispute to inn
partial arbitration; having been finally
appraised Of her refusal to do SO, moth
ing remains but to accept the situation,
recognize Its plain requirements and
deal with 1t accordingly, Great Brit
aims position has never been regarded
as admissible by Venezuela, though
any adjustment of boundary which
that country may deem for her adVan-
tage and may enter into of her own
free will cannot of course be objected
to by the United States. Assuming,
however, that the attitude of Venezuela
will remain unchanged, the dispute has
reached II stage to make 1t incumbent
on the United States to take meas
ures to determine with sufficient GER
tainty for its justification what is the
true divisional line between Ncne-

drcted carefully, iudiCially and due

the claims Of both parties. In order
that such an examination may be
prosecuted In thoroughly satisfactory
manner, suggest that congress make
an adequate appropriation for the eN
pCnscs of a commission to be appointed
by the executive who shall make the
necessary Investigation and report
with the least possible delay When
such report has been made and nc

duty of the United States to resist by

Here are huge eticks of timber, and
our ears are greeted with the hum and
burr 80 constantly associated with 3
This long row of buildings
is entirely devoted to the making OF
spools. The machines employed are
various. Here the wood is being cut
into short lengths; there hole is be-
ing punched through the small round
pieces; while yonder machine shapes
the wood into a spool in one swif!
stroke.
1t is by means Of the wood required
to make these spools that we get some
conception of the enormous output of
this factory. Each day there is as
much thread finished here as would
wind round the world several times,
and in order to produce spools for the
thread, it is calculated that an extent
of forest planted with birch trees
covering $50 acres has to be cut down
every year, while, on an average
twelve ships of large-carrying capacity
are employed each season H. bringing
the wood across to this country from
America and Canada.

Glass Bricks.

Among the latest Inventions in the
building world are glass bricks. They
are intended to be used in construct
ing the walls OF plant houses and win
ter gardens, and are made out of blown
glass and closed under 500 degrees
Fahrenheit. They possess internally
a hollow OF about one-third their en-.
tire contents, which, being filled with
rarified air, acts as non-conductor of
heat. They are joined together with
cement, by which rigidity is obtained
which points to the possibility of their
being employed as roofing in semi
circular form without any use being
made OF iron as a supporting struc-
ture. In houses built of this material
there must be many advantages not
obtainable by other modes o! construc-
ton with other materials. No win
dows would be necessary, because suf-
ficient light would come in through
the bricks themselves to enable one to
see well enough TO perform any kind
of work. These glass bricks will some
day be used entirely in the construc-
ton of hot houses.

THE DEVILS MOOSE"
A Gigantic Flesh Eating Plant
That 10 Found in Nicaragua.

Paris Cosmos.
CarnivOrous plants are certainly
among the curiosities OF the vegetable
world. The poetical and religious
Linnsus, who had occasion to study
the fly catching peony, found, in his
astonishment, no other name to be-
stow upon it than this-Miraculum
nature (prodigy of nature.) Since
the illustrious Swedish botanist, the
mechanism of carnivorous plants has
been we'll studied, and particularly by
Darwin, who has devoted to these
plants a remarkable work. They are
usually of small dimensions, and do
not attain the size Of one described in
the " Bolletino del Naturalist"
M. Fabiano Carlo tells therefore OF
gigantic carnivorous plant that has
been discovered on the shores of Lake
Nicaragua by naturalist named Dun
stan. He discovered this curious
plant in the following manner: Travel
ing with his dog, he heard the animal
give vent to cries OF pain. He ad.
vanced and found his dog held by
three black, sticky bands, under which
the skin was chsfed till it bled. These
bands we're the branches of new car
nivorous plant, which Dunstan calls
the land octopus" The branches
are flexible, polished, black, without
leaves, secreting viscous fluid and
furnished with great number of
suckers by which they attach them
selves to their victims. 1t might al
most be believed to be an octopus
transformed into plant.
To extricate his dog Dunssan tried
to cut the branches, and succeeded,
though not without difficulty, and
after having his hands severely in
Jured by the tentacles of the Gland
octopus As may be realized, obser-
vations under these conditions were
not convenient to make, and the nat
uralist was able to get few facts con-
cerning this odd plant. He proved
the presence of numerous suckers, and
found that the fetid odor of the black
sticky fluid that covers the branches

as important to the sick room as food
Especially during the summer season,
and when suffering from febrile con.
ditions, will the value and advantage
of cooling and refrigerant drinks be
appreciated, while mucilaginous de-
! mulcent fluids will be found soothing
to irritable states of the alimentary
canal and pulmonary and urinary
systems.
Imperial Drink.-Dissolve from two
to three drachms of cream of tartar in
quart of boiling water, add the juice
Of one lemon and little lemon peel,
and sweeten with sugar. When cold,
it may be taken freely as cooling
drink and diuretic. A valuable drink
in threatened sunstroke and passive
congestion of the brain.
Lemonade-Pare thinly the rind of
a lemon and cut the lemon into slices.
Put the peel and sliced lemon into a
Jug with an ounce of white sugar and
pour over them one pint Of boiling
water. Cover the jug closely and di-
gest until cold. Strain or pour off the
liquid. Citron may be used instead of
lemon, and likewise furnishes CRATE
full and refreshing refrigerant bever.
age.
Milk ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, one and a
half pounds, dissolved in a quart of
boiling water, together with half a
pint of lemon juice and one and half
pints of milk. This makes a cooling,
agreeable, nourishing beverage.
Linseed Tea.-Place in a Jug one
ounce of bruised linseed, two drachms
bruised licorice root. half ounce
white sugar, and two tablespoonfuls of
lemon juice, and pour over them one
pint of boiling water. Cover lightly,
and digest for three or four hours near
fire. Strain through linen before
using. This makes mucilaginous
liquid possessing demulcent properties
and of special value in bronchial and
urinary affections.
Barley Water with White of Egg
Take a tablespoonful of coarse barley
and wash we'll with cold water, re-
jecting the washings. Then boil for
an hour or more with a pint and
half of clean water, in a covered ves-
sci or saucepan. Add pinch of salt,
enough sugar to render palatable, and
strain. To four or six ounces of bar
ley water thus prepared add the white
of one egg. The value of this prepa-
ration in gastrO-intestinal inflamma-
ton and irritation is not easily over
estimated. In the enterocolitis of
very young infants, its exclusive ad-
ministration for thirty-six or forty
eight hours will often relieve when all
other measures have failed.
When patient cannot be raised
from the bed without risk of exhaus-
ton, a medicine tube or crockery
feeder should be used, but the same
appliance, or even one of the same
appearance should not be used for ad-
ministering both food and medicine.
The patients mouth should be kept
clean and fresh, as should also all ex-
ternal surroundings.

Fashionable women do not use the
balloon sleeves of their cycling cos

The fact that the outer pedal plates
wear more than the inner ones shows
the natural tendency of most all riders
to turn their feet outward when pedal

Avoid riding wheel the pedals OF

Beware of clicking sound in your
machine. The chances are that it is
caused by the balls in loose bearing,
and this demands immediate remedy

If you want to avoid the dromedary
position when riding, see that about
II inches of space exists between the
peak of the saddle and the center OF
the handle bar.
Beware Of an attempt to gain light
