due respect to the sovereignty Of Spain
we cannot view the pending conflict in
all It's features, and properly apprehend
our inevitably close relations to It and
it's possible results, without considering
that by the course Of events we may
be drawn into such an unusual and I'M

it to our patient waiting for Spain to
end he contest, either alone and in her
own way, or without friendly co-opera-

deal successfully with the insurgents

flict, a situation will be presented in

Diligence and Skill Needed

In the domain of the dairy industry,
there is continual complaint that the
dairy does not pay, and when we come
to see the produce that is sent into the
market by the thousands Of tons. that
ut the best can only be rated with the
ordinary, there is much to warrant the
claim depression, but no excuse can
be made Tor this inferior class Of pro-
duce. 1t dairy produce is selling low
for the best. it is clear the inferior
must sell still lower, and without
profit, either on the food consumed
in its production or in labor involved
in its manufacture. Then there is all
TIM more reason. in this state Of
affairs, that only the best should be
made. and secure all there is in the
raw material, and in the transforming
it into food; secure in the skill the
reward for the labor, by making this
so fine that it tranScends the domain of
food and sells as a luxury This in
ferior produce is not all the produce
of the farms, but the creameries send
their share of the poor butter and
cheese to the market, and SO add to
an already too large Offering of
inferior goods, and clog and menace
to the better class of butter and
cheese. In this there is no valid ex-
cuse. The milk as it is drawn mas no
such variation in quality as tue 1:ro-
duce sent to market would indicate.
Quality in produce is the exhibition Of
care and intelligence, combined with
skill. Variations of quality are the ex-

doubt as to what his duty really was
On the one hand was fealty to his
party, on the other was fear of his

GRAFT, While his father, Samuel Fiske, is
a Republican. The two Fiskes were
elected last May. 1t was a curious
election tllat put them in Office, the
Democrats sweeping the town for may
or, While the Republicans elected eight
out OF ten alderm en-. The mayor
swept every ward except the one in
which his father ran, and he would
have carried this one, too, if the old
gentleman hadn't fought him.
The fight between father and son
did not end at the polls. AS president
of the board of aldermen, the mayors
father started in to make trouble. It's
this way: The mayor, as usual, ex-
pected to name the city clerk. He sent
his choice to the board of aldermen,
and the president said: "Oh, no. in
i! the same way an indulgent father
would talk when trying to prevent his
hrst-born from sucking the green
paint off a Noah's ark. When the
mayor insisted his father voted, with
seven other aldermen. to lay the nom
lnat1on on the table. 1t was laid
there.
Then the mayor tried again. He
nominated a prominent contractor as
commissioner of public works. When
the nomination was sent to the board

and read the paper.

The End of Old Money.

The end Of those old bills that have
served their purpose so faithfully has
a certain amount of pathos. If one is
fortunate enough to be present when a
committee Of the officers of the trea-
sury send them to their destruction, q
curious, almost indescribablc sensation
will creep over him. The destruction
takes place in room in the treasury
building. There is a small table in the
center of the room, and on this the
bundled bills are piled in reckless con-
fusion. Through two holes in the floor
large cylinders, or macerators. INTO
which the bills are placed. They are
about the size of locomotive boilers. A
large funnel is inserted in one of the
holes, and it connects with one of the
macerators. The bills are then united
and thrown into the mouth of this fun
nell 1t is amusing to see one of the
committee take a stick when they be-
come damned, and prod them through.
When the last one is safely through, a
mixture of lime and soda-ash is placed
in the macerator a cover is clamped on
the ventricle and each member of the
committee fastens it with q separate
lock. Steam is then turned on. and
the cylinders are set in motion. When
the bills have been thoroughly ,macer-
ated the pulp is drawn off and taken
to a paper machine, where it is made
into sheets of paper and afterwards
Sold
Some one suggested the idea of using
part of the pulp to make little fancy
images. The idea was adopted, aud
dainty little knick-kancks made of the
pulp can be bought in the stores in
Washington. The salesman often in
duce the possible purchaser to buy by
telling him that the image at one time
represented large sum of money.
TO pick up one of these images is to
give rise to thought for here, embodied
in a small compass, it that which was
once part of the greatest power in the
world.-Harper's Round Table.
