Jones, who claimed to be 76 years old,
but was probably so. and her daughter,
Annie, 20 years old, were today ad-
judged to be imbecile and committed to
the insane asylum. They belong to the
family of Thomas Jones, living about
FIVE miles up the Abhrnethy, and neigh
bors say they had been starved into i'm

says they have been thus afflicted more
or less through their whole lives. They
were most repulsive creatures, and had
to be outftted with new clothes before
they could even be taken to the asylum.

Key West, Fla. (by mail from Hava-
nal, Feb. 3.-Gomez and Maceo have
met. The meeting, it is said, took place
at plantation near Artemisa, In the
province Of Pinar del Rio. Mt the very
time that Acting Governor General
Marin, with five columns, was looking
for either of the rebel chiefs, only four
teen miles to the northward, near San
Antonio de Los Banos. 1t was sup
posed that the guarded railroad line
from Havana to Batabano would pre-
vent the meeting, but Gomez crossed
the line and Maceo, with n compara-
lively small part of his forces. made
a quick march from the westermost
point Of the island, and kept his tryst.
Il have seen Moro's light every night
for n week." Gomez said recently.
New York, Feb. "a dispatch to
the World from Havana says: Maxi
mo Gomez, accompanied by 1000
mounted men, succeeded late Thurs
day In recrossing the Trocha or mill
tary line established by the Spaniards
between Havana and Batabano. He
crossed n few miles south of Bejucan
near Buena Ventura. which Is about
ten miles north OF Quivican. At the
same time he destroyed a small cul-
vert, tore up the railroad tracks, cut
the telegraph wires, and crippled the
section of railroad between Rincon
and Qulvican.
At the very time Gomez played this
trick on the Spanish guard along the
Trocha, General Marin. the acting gov
ernor general of Cuba, who had left
Havana the same day Mt the head of
the best equipped force put In the field
during the present rebellion was slun-
bering quietly. surrounded by his
troops, at San Antonio de Los Banos,
about ten miles east OF Guanajay.
While Gomez was coming east and ap-
preached the Trocha, General Marin
and his force were going west on n
train from Rincon toward Guanajay.
GomeZ's line of march was parallel
with the railroad used by Marin and
not more than from six to ten miles
distant at any time. Yet they did not
learn until the following morning G'ri-

The first intimation received here was
by n telegram from Quivican.
An exceedingly large number of peo-
pie have been leaving Cuba In the past
fortnight, and 1t seems as II the eXo-
dus had only just begun. Every
steamer leaving Havana carries hun
dreds of families not only to the Unit
ed States. but to Mexico. South Ameri-
ca and West Indian ports. Steamship
agents talk of putting on extra steam
ers to carry the passengers away.
Business is practically at n standstlll.
Merchants who have storehouses filed
are unable to sell their goods, particu-
larly provisions. owing TO the inter-
ruption of traffic on the railroad lines

Interior of the island.
Some sugar plantations in the eN-

guard. and are compelled to feed the

Boise. Idaho. Feb. 1.-The Blackfoot
land officers have rejected the entry cf
the State Land board for 10000 acres
Of land under the Carey act to cover
the application Of the American Falls
Power & Canal company. owing to the
refusal Of the state to pay fee OF So
per each 1G0 ncres, the fee charged for
ordinary state selections. The board To-
day wired Senator Shoup concerning
the matter and he replied that the COM
missioner OF the gneral land office was
of the opinion that such fee was not
necessary. The state will appeal at once
and the matter will probably go before
the secretary Of the interior. The Idaho
board has communicated by wire with
the boards In Wyoming and Washing
ton and ascertained that those states
paid the fee without protest. As the fea
will amount TO $4,000 for each state
taking the entire millionaire grant, the
congressional representatives OF all the
Western states vii! unite to secure a
ruling from the secretary of the inte-
rior that the fee Is unnecessary.

Renewal of Agitation for Postal Savings
Hanks
Washington, d. c.. Feb. 3.-The pos
tai savings bank scheme has been re-
vived again. and Thomas Wilson and
others who are interested in the vel
fare of the lnboring classes are urg-
Ing the postmaster general to send
special report to Congress asking the
passage of n bill to carry 1t into effect.
Various measures of this character
have been proposed in past years and
several postmaster generals have In
dorsed them. Mr.. Wanamaker gave
a great deal of attention to the subject.
He not only discussed the various
plans at length in his reports to Con-
gress, but appeared before the postof
flee committee on several occasions to
advocate the adoption of the system
for the benefit of the wage-earners of
the country. The additional induce
ment Is now offered of raising money
for the government. II Is estimated
that the deposits would amount an
nually to at least Si0.OOO.00O and per-
haps S1OO,OO0.0OO n year. which would
be an important item in the present
condition of the public revenues.
The postal savings system has been

In Great Britain there are o.TiS, ,230 de-
positors In the postal savings system.
which is one to every seven of the
population The total amount of their
deposits last year was SIOI obs, ,2O5.
which was an increase of 500. T23,S10
from the previous year. The number
of deposits made last year was 0O3,-
10S, representing Il value of S123,245,-
100. and what is especially significant
is that interest, amounting to $S,3O0,-
$40, was left undrawr. and placed to
the credit of depositois during the
year
What is called the stamp deposits
system has been very successfully in
troduccd among the schools. and the
aggregate amount deposited by the
children last year was over SSO0OOO.
Under this system school children are
furnished with cards ruled Off in
squares the size of n stamp, and when
they have II penny they are encouraged |
to buy postage stamp instead of
spending It for candy. The stamp is |

card is full 1t is delivered to the near
est postmaster, who gives the child
credit In a pass book for the amount of
money represented. There cards are
supplied In bulk to the teachers Of the
public schools, who are required to in
struct their pupils daily in practical
lessons of economy and the benefits
of thrift. This is said to have an ex-
cellent effect not only among the chill
dren, but upon their parents also, both

ties offered by the savings system
The fact that one person out of ev.
cry seven In the entire population of
Great Britain makes use of the postal
savings bank and that it represents
more than $40O,O00,0OO of their saw
ings, suggests that similar privilege
would be greatly valued by the work
ing people of the United States.
The government of France has had
the system In operation for several!
years, and the balance on deposit has
been steadily increasing until 1t has
reached the sum of 9S1 10000 francs.

the last reported, 1.051 .547 Ago francs
were handled. the total deposits

Education on the Farm.

The farmers profession can be ele
waited above It's present standard only
as the children improve upon the meth
ods of their parents. President Chad
bourne of the Massachusetts, Agricul-
tural college once said that the way for
young men to rise in the world was to
stand upon the shoulders Of their faith
ers. We miss half the wear and tear in
life when we acquire the faculty OF
profiting by the experience of other
men. 1t proves nothing. that some fine
ly educated man has failed in farming,
or that some uneducated men have sue
ceeded. Education will help man, but
1t will never make one. When 1t can
be proved that majority Of educated
men upon the farm are failures and n
majority Of the uneducated successful,
we shall all begin to question the pro-
priety and value of education for the
farmers profession. But until that is
proved we shall believe that the farm
er's business stands upon the same
basis that supports all other kinds of
business, that the general education
which is useful to the doctor. the law
yer, the man upon the board of trade
is just as valuable to the man who tills
the soil, and that professional training
in schools Of agriculture will have the
worth upon the farm that the knowl-
edge and discipline of the law school
has in practice before the courts.
One thing more. The circumstances
OF farmers life are such that he is
brought into closer. because more con-
stant contact with his family than men
engaged in other pursuits. His part
nership with the companion of his life
is, in a business sense, certainly very
close one. Side by side they often per-
form the same kinds of labor. and the
silent partner not unfrequently bears
the heaviest burdens. Many of us in
the rush and amid the distracting cares
of our business. forget that woman's
strength Is not mans strength, that a
ceaseless monotony Of toll takes laugh
ter from the lips, roses from the cheeks
and health from the body. No sensible
man would desire that farmers wives
should be transformed into useless orna-
ments; but 1t should be the aim of farm
ers who would do honor to their profess
sion to make their mothers and wives
and daughters something more than
mere household drudges, to give them
an opportunity, as far as means will per-
nit, to satisfy those fancies and tastes,
to cultivate those graces and those tai
ents that are the beauty and the charm
Of true womanhood.-H. c. Adams.
