The Cuban Situation,

Spain, through her diplomatic repre-
sentatives, has been making the most
profuse explanations of her failure to
accomplish anything against the Gu.
ban revolutionists. Everything in the
way of an energetic campaign, so the
Spaniards declare, had been postponed
until the arrival of cool weather in
Cuba. General Campos is then to
make short, aggressive and irresisti-
BILE campaign. The Spanish agents
have been buying number of light
draft tugs and steam launches in Eng
land and the United States, and these
are to be armed with Maxim and Cat
ling guns, and put into service arohnd
the entire island to preventth landing
of arms and ammunition, and of filbus-
ters from the United States, Mexico and
South America. The Spanish army is

LITERARY NOTES.

Mary E. Wilkins has done something
new in the piece of work just com
pleted and given by her to The Ladies
Home Journal for publication. 1t is q
series of "Neighborhod Types" These
types are the most unique charac.
ters, and are found in supposed New
England village; to the portrayal of
type" Miss wilkins devotes a separate
sketch. Thus she pictures striking
male character in "The Wise Man of
the Village; one of the most natural
OF children in "The Village Runaway;
familiar figure in "The Neat Woman
OF the Town." with three other char
acters equally distinct. There are six
types" and all are illustrated.
The Ladies Home Journa announces
that 1t has secured the exclusive rights
to republish Albert Lynch's famous
painting, "The. Godmother," over
which the French art critics rayed
when it was exhibited. 1t will appear
on the January cover of the magazine.
The picture is said to more clearly
present Mr.. Lynch's typical woman
a dainty, spirtuelle beauty-than any
thing he has yet offered the public.
The original is owned by Mrs. Alfred
G. Harrison, who purchased the paint
ing in Paris last year at an unusually
large figure.
jerome K. Jerome has written a
series of short stories for The Ladies'
Home Journal. They will be published
during the ensuing few months, under
the caption of Stories of the Town. y
Mr. Jerome pertrays well known types
or charaeterlAsn these stories, the-iirst
of which he talls "Blase Billy.u The
series is interesting from the fact that
1t constitutes the first short stories that
Mr.. Jerome has ever written directly
for an American periodical.

Pruning Grapeyines.

Various systems for pruning grapes
are now in use. All are good in their
special way, but confusing to begin
ners.
A good farmer bearing in mind the
the following facts can easily care for
his own vines:
The object in pruning is to get well
formed vine and large yield of best
fruit.
AT least two thirds of the new growth
should be cut away for this purpose.
Unless severely pruned more fruit
will form than can be well matured.
Remember, the vine bears its fruit
on new wood only.
Canes grown this year are the ones
to preserve for fruit next season.
Cut back the vigorous canes to three
or four buds each.
Canes that have borne one season
never bear again, hence the necessity
for keeping a supply of new wood every
year.
Train the vine so it may be put down
and covered with dirt IN winter and
raised and tied to stake or trellis in the
spring.
One and two year old vines are not
expected to bear fruit, and are cut
back to two or three buds.
Trim your grapevines in the fall

DYEING THE BURGLARS.
A Chemist Who Made Them an Indigo
Blue.


A good story is told by German pa
per of the way in which dyer treated
two burglars whom he caught in hi,
establishment as they were in the ao1
of making eff with some valua bl lie dyos
Mr.. s., the owner of the color works
is often engaged in experiments late
into the evening, and occasionally
spends the night in the chemical
laboratory, which opens into the room
where the great dye vats are.
The thieves made their visit, as il
CHANGED, on one of the nights when
Mr.. 8. was sleeping at the laboratory.
He is naturally a light sleeper, and a
little past midnight he was aroused by
the sound of voices in the vat room.
He saw the flash of u light and, sus
pecting thieves. arose quietly from his
sofa, took his revolver and, concealed
in the darkness, watched the move
ments of the men. He saw that each
bore package of new and valuable
dyes.
Thinking that matters had progress.
ed far enough, he stepped forwa ard ,
cooked his revolver and said quietly:
VI have use for those dyes. You d
better leave them alone.n
The thieves, taken completely by sur.
prise, dropped their plunder and started
to run, leaping from the side of one vat
to the next. In the darkness one of
them miscalculated the distance and
fell headlong into the indigo vat; and
his companion, hearing the splash,
glanced back to see what had occurred,
lost his balance and toppled into the
vat.
That's all right" said Mr.. S., half
locosely, as he steped to the edge of the
vat and covered the thieves with his
revolver. II won't grudge you enough
OF that indigo to dye your clothes and
skin, you needn't hurry abeut getting
out. We must give the dye chance
to take effect"
For fifteen minutes or more he kent
the two men in the vat, where they
several times plunged beneath the sur.
face of the liquid and came up sputter
ing and choking, and finally begged
for mercy.
"Well. " remarked Mr.. S., good ma
turedly, II think you are probably, as
blue outside as you feel inside, SO l
won detain you longer. And now"
changing his tene to a stern command,
"if you don't want the police put on
your tracks you'll make yourselves
scarce in this town. Out now and be
off,"
Without word the two men climb bed
out of the vat and hastened away.
A few days later friend from an
adjoining town called on Mr.. s. and
mentioned incidentally that two men
came to him and offered him So to tell
them what would remove indigo stains
from the skin. "They were the bluest
looking fellows you ever saw" he ad-
ded. "They said they got to fooling in
the dye house and fell into the vat,
