The legislature has been in session
IIo days. Both bodies have apparent
ly worked hard and yet they have
enacted no important legislation, ex.
cept to create new Offices and increase
salaries. Up to date Governor Hast
ings has signed twenty eight bills and
vetoed six. He has also approved
thirty joint resolutions and disposed
of all the bills messaged to him for
his consideration. The Farr compul-
sorry education bill and the three
Greater Pittsburg bills will 90 to the
governor to morrow.
There is nothing but the hardest
kind of work for the state lawmakers,
especially members of the house, from
now until the close Of the session
The committees are working day and
night to get rid of bills not yet con-
sidered so that the members may be
free to give all their attention to the
general calendar of bills. Beginning
this week the house ways and means
committee will hold two sessions on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays,
and one on Friday morning for the
consideration of revenue measures.
The house general judiciary committee
has cleared its calendar of house bills
and is working on senate bill.
A congressional apportionment bill
will be brought out this week by the
house committee. Chairman Law
renee has prepared bill which he
will submit to the committee at a
meeting tomorrow morning. Chair
man Marshall, of the house appropri-
atlons committee. has prepared a
special calendar of appropriation
measures. They will not be bro ught
out, though, until it is definitely de-
termined how much the state can
donate to charity the next two years.
Governor Hastings and his cabinet
have not been able 20 solve this pro-
blem to the satisfaction or the COM
mlttee.

THE REVOLUTION IN CUBA.

The revolution or insurrection in
Cuba has never assumed the pro-
portions ascribed to it by its friends
and sympathizers iii this country, and
it has never been sufficiently wide
spread or uncomfortable to make
necessary the presence Of General
Martinez Campos, who was received
in Cuba with great enthusiasm.
All recent news from the seat of
war--to dignity it temporarily-is to
the effect that the revolution is one in
name only. There has not been a
battle with more than forty or fifty
insurgents at any one time. There
are no armies" of revolutionists and
very few patriots. Many of these
bands Of guerillas are composed al
together of negroes and bandits.
There is no idea Of independence
among them ; the work in which they
are now engaged is simply to their
liking. If the people of Cuba could
be generally aroused there might be
some reason to talk Of a revolution.
Until they are so influenced no rev.
oluton can be successful, as has been
demonstrated more than once. Fill
clustering expeditions from the United
States and elsewhere could quickly
end the strife, but these are not allow
ed and the bandits of Cuba do not
appear to be getting help from any
where The usual failure of another
revolution will soon be heralded.
Nearly everybody believes Spain
has been squeezing the life out OF
Cuba, and that the Cubans are taxed
to death and generally maltreated.
This does not appear to be the case.
In fact, so far as taxation goes, 1t is
said on good authority that Cuba is a
burden to Spain. Besides, if the
Cubans were badly treated very
large majority of them would accep,
the first opportunity to revolt. The
fact that they have not done so, bu
support the government instead, leaves
no doubt of the real situation. l
must be admitted that Cuba is muct
more mildly governed than it wa
some years ago.
Cuba is of no use to Spain ant
some time will be independent. Blu
there seems to be little reason 70
inhicting unwelcome sentiment upo

said about the revolution, as bot
sides are untruthful. Patriot.

THE GROW COUNTY SURVEY.
The Actual Field Work Shows An In
crease Of Territory.

Two engineer corps are now max
ing the survey of the Grow county
line. The ten-mile limit from the
county seat was completed last Friday
and the stake driven in Newport town
ship, the line running between Glen
Lyon and Nanticoke, nearly a mile
East of the former place. One corps
started South and the other North
from this point. The Northern line
crosses the mountain opposite Hun
lock Creek, and makes the creek the
county line for short distance, grad
ually bearing off toward Plymouth on
the circle. The survey OF the circle
is difficult task and requires skillful
engineering The men employed by
the Commissioners are experts and
are making an accurate and thorough
survey. All computations are made
on the ground and the work as it pro-
crosses is completed every day. Aitel
the survey Of the circle is made the
balance will be comparatively easy
and will 60 much faster. Messrs
Harvey and Wheelock are not in th'
field this week but will return again oil
Monday.
There is no doubt that the actua
survey will show more than the requll
ed territory. The line thus far rul
shows a considerable increase owe

more VIII ol esome,
more beautiful, more completely pleasing
than a womanly womanl Such a woman
is even tempered, intelligent, strong and
healthy. Health really tells the whole
story. Health means strong nerves and
strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and amiability.
A woman worn and wearied by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find zest in any
duty or amusement. Life is all one dead
monotonous gloom to her. On her face
is written the story Of weakness and pain.
The wholesomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fullness, the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks luster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine
tenths of womanly sickness in the organs
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.

SHAD.

The shad begin TO appear IN the
rivers about the 18th Of March, and
they continue to arrive until the middle
of iune. 1t is a remarkable fact that
each colony is invariably divided into
three grand divisions, which arrive at
different times, thus making three sue
cessive shoals, or, as the fishermen
call them, "runs." The first run is
both small in numbers and especially
poor in quality, and it is interesting to
observe that this is true of the herring
as well as Of the shad This advance
guard is largely composed of what
are known as " hickory" shad, and
they differ from the Others in such
marked degree as to form distinct
variety. The fishermen in the Chesa'
peake Bay have an un-Mosaic legend
that at the creation there were a
great many small bones left over, and
that to dispose of them the " hickory y
shad was made.
A few days after these skirmishers
have passed up the river the second
or great run begins, and continues
three or four weeks. After the fish
appear, nothing will disturb their con
slant upward progress except cold
weather, which, inopportunely arriv-
ing. will cause them to seek the pro-
lection Of the mud at the bottom of
the river, where they remain until the
chill has left the water 1t is impossl-
bic to estimate the number of fish
entering a river in one of these runs.
The estimate of two millions which
has been made for the Delaware is
very moderate, in view of the fact
that more than ten thousand shad
have been taken in one haul of the
seine in the waters of that river. The
third run is small, like the first, and,
though the fish are fine in quality. ii
receives little attention. 1t is proba.
