The CUBAN QUESTION

President CteveIand's massage
has appeared Il deals 4: length
with the attitude CT TIE Uais-d
States towards the Cuban QUESTION
As surmised by the press, before
the message was presented, the
president has shown himself grow
ing impatient a. the useless Joss Of
life and destruction Of property in
Cuba. He clearly shows tia: the
CubaDs, while they have no gov
ernmeut except what is on pape.,
have maintained their cause in q
way that makes it almost impcssi-
bic for tie Sp2nisrds with their
present tactics, 20 overcome them.
And, while be speaks in the high
est terms of the patriotism and
greatness Of the Spanish people,
he says, in so many words, that if
the present state of things Goa
time upon the island, our Country
must inevitably attempt such in,
reference as will proven. he des-
truction Of life and property there,
and the present immense financial
loss to the United States. To
many this appears to mean war BE-
tween our government aud Spain
Bat we do not see it IN tina. light.
In the first place the interference
suggested by the president will NJ
doubt be of wise kind. Secondly
although the Spaniards regard hi:
message seriously, they will hest
tate to involve themselves In war
with our nation. The WIrNEs:
opposes war. In this Christian
age it is unjustifabie and barba
rous. However, no one who cher
ishes freedom can fail TO sYmpa
thize with Cuba in her present
struggle for independence.

The Leading School
Baptist Witness

Jasper Normal Institute will be-
gin its seventh year September,
Is, 1896. The last year has been
the most prosperous in the history
of the school. The enrolment of
students outside of Jasper was 1 so,
more than most of the colleges of
Florida had for their total enroll
ment.
The students of Jasper Normal
are expected to devote the greater
part of their time to intellectual
growth. The management of the
school consider life too short and
duties too pressing to fritter away
half or more of a students time
swinging. clubs, handling gun or
kicking a ball. The demand of
the age is educated brain rather
than professional athletes.
Jasper Normal offers a variety
of courses. In every course the
work is of high order of excel
lence. None but good teachers
are employed. 1t is the ambition
of the faculty to do more for the
young men and women under their
charge than is done at any other
school in the state for students.
The constant increase in attend
ance tells how well they have sue
ceeded.
The health record of Jasper Nor
nal cannot be excelled. in six
years there has been but one death
in Jasper of persons between six
and twenty-one years of age and
that one was struck by lightning.
Normal students board with the
best private families of Jasper at
$40 per month.
Bear in mind that Jasper Normal
Is not little village school but a
school enrolling twice as many
students every year as is done al
most Florida colleges. The work
Is superior in every department,
Il
excelled.
Ample buildings, good library,
abundant apparatus, healthful sur
roundings, low expenses, and supe-
rior instructions are a few of the
many reasons why parents should
send their sons and daughters to
Jasper for an education.

A PREHISTORIC HORSE.
FOSSIL Remains That Are Found In the

= u s. s.
Fossil Remains That Are Found In the
ii I'll Rockies. a3st III
- Prof Henry Fairfield Osborn, Of the
American, Museum Of Natural History,
in the Century describes the remarka-
BILE fossil remains that. are found near
Bridger Lake, in the Rockies. He says:
Il we leave the lake shore, and pass
into the drier upland, we discover the
clever little four-toed horse, swift, alert,
intelligen mt. He is, to use the modern
measure, only four hands, or 16 inches,
high, so he would not reach the knee Of
the Uintathere, and could be devoured
at one sitting by the Patriofelis. His
limbs are as slender as pencils. His
large eyes are much farther forward
than Id the horse. He could readily
hide among the taller stalks, and it is
possible that he had the beginning Of
protective stripes initiating reed shad-
;oWs upon his neck and name. In his
hair sl and coloring, however, we pass into
pure conjecture. His weI-worn chisel-
shaped front teeth indicate that he was
already cropper or browser, and the
evident secret Of his trump per
ssistence over his ponderous cont
poraries is that he learned to browse
just about the time that grasses began
to appear. He was the animal Of the
times. ;s8s 3$

"A POPULAR FALLACY..-

FAM In Temperature Of Ocean Does Not
~ Indicate Presence Of Ice.
/; For many years an opinion existed
among seamen and others that fall in
the sea-surface temperature implied
.nlearness of ice. Nothing, says the.
Nautical Magazine, can be more remote
from the truth, though shore folk still
9perpetuate. this fiction in books and
newspapers. A sudden fall in sea-
surface temperature is likely near the
Agulhas, the Japanese current, the gulf
stream, while running the Fasting down
in the South Indian ocean, in the South
Atlantic about 40 degrees south, 40 de-
grees west, and elsewhere; and this,
whether icebergs be near or hundreds
OF miles away. Capt. S. T. s. Lecky, r.
y. 4. to whom the nautical profession
is indebted for his Wrinkles in Prac-
teal Navigation" was probably the
first to draw the attention Of his breth-
ren to this fact. In the ninth edition of
his book he points out that "allied to
fog is the question Of danger from ice.
It Is q popular delusion among passen-
gers on board ship that, by taking the
temperature Of the water at short IN
teryals, the approach to ice is unfailing-
! " Indicated. Un6ortuna tely such is by:
nosmeans the fact, and it is time the idea
was exploded. More than ordinarily
cold water merely shows that the ship is
in q part Of the ocean where ice may
possibly be encountered, and not that
it is actually present" Shipmasters Of
repute freely confess, with Capt. Evans,
of the Tainui, that they have never
found sea temperature fall lower when.
near ice than when several miles away
from the danger. sa5z.

!. UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
Lowell Adnired the Genius In 1t More

AOWeAA ADMIRED the Genius In 1t more
Than the Moral
B It was the opinion OF James Russell
Lowell, says Charles Dudley Warner,
in the Atlantic, that the anti-slayery
element in Uncle Tom and bred stood
in the way OF q full appreciation, at
least in her own country, Of the re-
markable genius of Mrs. Stowe. Writ
ing in 1850, he said: from my hab-
its and the tendency OF my studies I
cannot help looking at things purely
from an aesthetic point Of view, and
what I valued ip Uncle Tom was the.
genius, and not the moral" This had
been his impression when he read the
book in Paris, long after the whirl Of
excitement produced by its publication
had subsidized, and far removed by dis
tance from local influences. Subse-
quently, in q review, he wrote ~ 1--WE
felt then, and we believe now, that the.
secret Of Mrs. Stoves power lay in that
same genius by which the great sue.
zcesses in creative literature have all

instinctively goes to the organic ele-
ments Of human nature, whether under

regards as trivial the conventions and

HOW HIGH CAN MAN COZ

Human Feet Will Probably Never Press
the Peak Of Mount Everest.
Prof. Ugolino Mosso, of Turin, has
made some interesting experiments on
the effects experienced in ascending to
high attitudes. All climbers of lofty
mountains are aware that at great
heights, such as the summit of Mont
Blanc, respiration becomes more or less
troublesome, the heart beats rapidly and
sometimes irregularly, and a feeling Of
exhaustion, often accompanied by
nausea, is experienced. These effects
arise largely from the rarity of the air,
and since the atmosphere becomes less
dense the higher one goes, it is evident
that q limit must soon be reached above
which man cannot ascend. Prof. Mosso
made his first experiments on Monte
Rosa, next to Mont Blanc, the highest
peak Of the Alps, where he ascended to
An elevation exceeding $4,000 feet with
out serious Inconvenience. Returning
to Turin he made his next ascent, SO to
speak, without. ascending at all. In
other words, he produced an imi tation
of the rare atmosphere Of a very lofty
mountain top by partially exhausting
the air from q large pneumaticc chamber
in which he had shut himself: When the
air in the chamber Responded in den-
sity with that which would be found at
q height Of "a, 272 feet above sea level,
he suffered such i'll effects that he could
not carry the experiment further. The
height to which Prof. Mosso thus simu-
lated an ascent is almost mile less
than that Of Mount Everest, SO that it
seems improbable that man will ever be
able to set his foot on the loftiest peak
of the earth. s.s3

An Experiment to Try.

An interesting experiment in magic
may be performed that will show it to
be 9 mistake that wate- will find its
level, says the. Chicago Interior. Take a
glass tube and bend it in the shape Of
g q. Pour it half full Of pure water, and
be sure that the pitcher from which
you pour it will only fill the bent tube
half full. That is for effect on the OBJ
server. Now take another pitcher con-
tanning pure brine, q solution Of COM
mon salt, and pour it slowly into one Of
the arms OF the tube. The water in the
other arm will rise an inch Of: two above
the level of the brine in the other. and
if you continue pouring twill run over,
until all the fresh water is driven out.

DIET AS "a NC ORA Z AGENT.
Experinaent introduced II : New York
Reformato Dry.

Experiment. Introduced In : New York
Reformatory
queer food experiment is being
tried at the Elmira reformatory, in New
York state, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. All civilized nations hold out
some indnoement to !, the criminal in
confinement to sooner secure his release
from legal restraint. "a certain amount
OF time is always taken off for good be-
havior. The criminal has often been
3exhorted to this end by father, other,
other, sister and BY others who had
his interest at heart. His manhood, his
future, his ambi tion and his hope Of
quick rele5ee from confinement have
been appealed to, and in many cases IN
vain. Now it is to the mans stomach
thai the appeal is to be made.
The proposed experiment contems
plates somewhat enlarged scale Of die
tary privileges, increasing from grade
to grade, from lowest to highest so
that within due and proper limits of
indulg ence Of the appetite by prisoners
IN q prison reformatory for crime they
Gan OuUCI blelT own ACCOMMODATIONS nave
the privilege to select meal by meal at
their pleasure, provided. always that
they keep their expendi ture within the
limits Of indulgence allowed by the
government Of the reformatory. The
prisoners, under the wagc-earning sys-
tenn Of the reformatory, as it IS at pres
,ent, must earn their living and keep
a credit balance to their account, re-
spectively, in order to progress toward
their release by parole. A prisoner, to
maintain a credit balance mustsneeds
restrain, regulate and exert himself in
o manner which acco1np dishes and
shows his improvement; but hitherto
the diet rate has been infexible. It is
believed that if more latitude is allowed
and the prisoner has a chance of tick
ling his palate occasionally with mince
pie, q juicy roast or other homelike
dainties, he will be more likely to make
an extra effort to reform In other
words, Il he has an inviting menu to
choose from for breakfast, dinner and
supper, he will get up and hustle and
be a man $;:.
