TILE CURiN ETION

Although the Jingoes and the stock
 market bears had a good day yesterday 1t is not yet time for. everybody to get excited The Cuban resolution agreed
 on with practical unanimity by the
 Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
 Is certainly all that any reasonable Gu
 ban sympathizer could ask. It reads
 as follows:
 Resolved, by the Senate and House
 of Representative of the United States in Congress assembled, That the inde- pendence of the republic of Cuba be
 and the same is hereby acknowledged by the United States of America.
 Section 9 That the United States will use it's friendly offices with the
 government of Spain to bring to a close the war between Spain and Cuba. But this is not exactly a declaration
 of war, and it will not even justify Spain in declaring war to-day. There
 will be time to think a little. The
 resolution cannot be reported to the
 Senate until Monday, and the debate
 will then probably be broken off for the holiday recess, as a good many Sem ators who are generally favorable to
 Cuban independence will wish to have something to say against any precipi- tate action on the part of our govern ment, even under the guise of a friend
 ly intervention. The House will have to pass upon the resolution after the
 Senate has passed upon it, and if any amendments are made there, the Sena-
 ate will be plunged into another long
 debate over these amendments. After this, again, the President will be called upon to approve or disapprove what ever comes out of the whole business in congress.
 So we can go on buying and selling and getting and losing for awhile long
 CT. And Spain can afford to wait until she can see just what the performance
 means. If she doesn't then we can make a little holiday excursion down to Cuba and take the island gem for our own without any trouble. At least those who ought to know say we can.

YOLUNTEER FLEET.

Considering that Russia is only edged that they know how to do some things well there. For instance, the by aid of popular subscriptions in all the large cities of the empire with a view to supplying the deficiency of cruisers in the Russian navy, the vol unteer fleet has become a cross between merchant marine and a war squad ron. Its steamers, now thirteen in number are usually occupied in the carriage of passengers, mostly out bound emigrants and in trade between Odessa, on the Black Sea, and Vladivo- stok, in eastern Siberia; but the gov- ernment also employs them as troop ships and as transports for convicts. While the vessels are thus entitled to be classed as peaceful merchantmen, and, therefore, privileged to pass in and out or the BLACK Oed through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, the fleet is managed by a committee rep resenting the Russian ministers of ways and means of communication and of finance, of the war office and of the imperial navy, under the presidency of the czar. The ships constantly carry in their holds the guns intended for their armament, and a supply of am- munition; and their transformation in- to cruisers would be only 8 matter of few hours time. All of the ships are tolerably fast, at least four of them having a speed of nineteen knots an hour
 By the organization of this volun- teer fleet Vladivostok has been relieved from it's former isolation, no less than twenty-two voyages being made to that port in each year. The vessels make numerous stops on their outward as well as on their return voyages, and will ultimately control large part of Russia's direct commerce with the east, the entire Russian tea trade with China and Japan having already been

he was more than happy when sure that a tardy remorse would not rob him of half his coveted trophy
 Until the authorities intervened, cut ting was conducted In public as an amusement for on-lookers, it being considered highly entertaining to hear ten or twelve rival coupeurs eulogizing their wares, each protesting his to be far superior to his fellows, The prohi- bition of this custom drove the hair haryesters to erect tents, rent for the day unoccupied shops, cellars, stables, or any corner they could find wherein to establish themselves. Sticks were then stuck up, from them being sus- pended petticoats as lure, as an indi- cation of what could be had in eX- change for tresses; to the petticoats were attached twists of hair as trade marks. The ruse succeeded peasants halted, casting envious glances at the multi-colored garments; they were handled, and even tried on, thus af- fording an opportunity to the coupeurs to tiatter their fair customers-who did not rest-and victory rewarded the cute buyers. In Auvergne-where the coupeurs were most numerous-the greatest harvest was reaped on St. Johns day The ingathering extended from April to September during which month the butchers, bakers, lock- smiths, etc, forsook their ordinary avocations for that of the coupeur, re- turning to their legitimate trades with the coming of the dead season. The hair of different countries was distin- guished by certain qualities; for in- stance, that of Auvergne was the coarsest; the finest and most faxen came from Belgium; the blac6est and longest from Italy, while that procured in Brittany was the most beautiful, though least well cared for.-Health and Home.

MU0H D0NE-M0RE NEEDED.


 It took years of discouraglng effort to impress the people of Connecticut With the importance and the economy of good roads. But the report of the State Highway Commission shows that the people are now powerfully impress ed. The Good Roads" law was pass ed in July, 1895. It provides that the State shall pay one-third of the cost, and the remaining two-thirds shall be paid equally by the town and county each-the limit for the States third be- ing fixed at $75,000. Eighty-six towns have availed themselves of the State s offer of help in sharing the expense by paying one-third of the needed i'm provement, and the total foots up s515,- 279.13; while the State pays $146, S63. 64, and the counties as much more Hart ford county has done by far the great est proportionate part-$147, ,159. 02; while New Haven county comes next. with an expenditure of $77,S1990. Fair field stands third in the order, paying S7O S65.71
 So great and a much needed work has been done in a short time. More and more should be done until it Is pos sible to go all over the State on good roads. They will pay for themselves.

Similar tams are now in high favor for children, and very stunning affairs in seal and other furs are shown, the brim of the tam being either velvet or twist of tails, while an uplifted bunch of tails pushes the soft crown into becoming shape.

The use of snuff, which is very prev alent among the women and girls of the southern States, Is a source Of ill., health that Dr. W. K. Grayson, of Florence, Texas, believes physicians have been too much inclined to over look. Snuff is g. powerful irritant and narcotic poison, paralyzing to a greater or less degree all the functions of the nervous system, and producing a long train of disorders. An autopsy on a young woman said by two well known physicians to have died from pull monary consumption gave evidence that death was really due to snuff poisoning, the lungs and other internal organs being saturated with snuff; and in another typical case a woman suf- fering extreme debility recovered health and flesh on abandoning snuff taking.
