One of the most hurdensome Of
taxes levied on the Cubans was for
the support Of the churches. Bur-
densome, because the entire clergy IS
made up of native born Spaniards
who are ardent partisans on the
Spanlards side. They advocate the
most extreme measures in crushing
the instruction, and even encourage
the policy of determination, and un
der the present conditions and such a
policy it is not TO be wondered that
the Cuban patriots would not attend
religious services, and the result is
that the churches are IN RUNE, and
some OF the finest are turned into
barracks for the soldiers. The native
Oubans, and particularly the women,
who in the past have been the chief
supporters Of the church, are very
bitter against the priests. Religion
has fed from Cuba.

A gtory Of two flags Ia told by a cor

A story Of two flags Is told by cor
respondent Of an American newspaper
who has verified accounts Of Spanish
cruelty in Cuba. The foreman of a
plantation attacked by the Spaniards
was French citizen. He retreated in
TO his house and wrapped himself IN
the French flag. In spite Of this sig
niflcant protest he was seized and put
to death. No such contempt was
shown for the colors of another coun-
try whose protection was invoked. A
Spanish force appeared at the estate Of
a British consul in search OF young
man against whom they had some cause
of complaint. Putting the young man
In a room the consul nailed the British
flag across the door, and dared the Span
iards to tear 1t from its place. The as
sailants knew that the power of the
British Empirewas represented by that
flag, and the colors were undisturbed.
The world has learned thoroughly the
lesson that the British flag protects the
humblest subject of the queen. May
It never fail to be true that the Amer
lean flag is a defence for an American
citizen, the world over.

Chinese Women Pile Drivers.

Piles are being driven in one Of the
new buildings for foundation for a
punch. They were eight inches in
diameter and fourteen feet long. The
staging was bamboo, and so was the
frame for the hammer, which was a
round piece of cast iron, with hole
in the center for guide rod, says
Casters Magazine. Attached to the
hammer block were twenty-seven ropes,
carried up to the top of the frame and
down on the outside, looking very
much like the old fashioned maypoles.
Twenty-seven women had hold of the
ends, and with sing-song, all together,
pulled down; up the rod, four feet,
travelled the hammer; then, at a
scream, all let go, and down it came on
top the pile, which was unprotected
by a band or ring. The women were
paid 20 cents in gold per day This
Maypole driver is in general use
throughout Japan and China.

LIFE SAVED BY A DOG.
Barked Until Ho Attracted the AttSn
tion of tho PoIIca

Barked Until Ho Attracted the AttSn-
tiOn of the Police.
A little wandering, homeless, COM
mon dog, lodging everyone 1t met on
the street lest blow should be aimed
at 1t, used to nothing but kicks and
curses from the great animal called
man, has at last shown its worth in a
way that will assure 1t hereafter a per-
manent home among friends, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Louis
Carr, a painter, was painting the rear
of vacant house belonging to L. Store,
in Clay street, between Green and JEFF
ferson streets, one day recently. He
was far up the ladder, just under the
roof, and painting vigorously to finish
up by noon. Rather than go all the
way down to move the ladder to an
other place he was reaching far out
and painting. Suddenly he discovered
that the ladder was slipping, and, hav-
ing no time to descend he caught the
caves Of the house with his hands.
The ladder slipped from under his feet
and fell to the ground, leaving him
helpless, hanging about thirty-fve feet
In mid-air. He called loudly for help
time and again, but no one heard the
cries, and being at the rear of the house
could not be seen. The little dog heard
him, however and sneaked around the
house to see what was up. He saw
there was a great deal up and began to
bark loudly. AS he would sit beneath
Carr his banks would ring out sharply
for moment and then end with O.
long, passionate howl He would then
run around the house toward the Clay
street police station, which is directly
across the street, give a few sharp
barks there and run again to his old
position under the dangling man, where
he would send out his plaintive appeal
more desperately than before. This at
tracted the attention Of the police, and,
although not understanding dog Ian
guage, they easily guessed there was
something wrong. Accordingly several
of them ran over to the house, and
Patrolman Frank Haffner opened the
back gate. They took in the situation,
and the ladder was soon under the
mans feet, so he descended with safety.
Carr said that he had been hanging
from the caves for about ten minutes,
and had not help arrived when it did
he would surely have fallen from sheer
exhaustion. He declares he will keep
and raise the dog with care and ten
derness and hereafter if anyone wants
a good fight on his hands all he will
have to do will be to hit Carrs dog.

lions.
And as to the tendency Of the growth
Of cities to enervate nations there is
no proof Of it at all unless we identify
the life of great cities with the passion
for idleness and pleasure and self-in-
diligence, which sometimes, but by no
means universally, accompanies their
growth, says the London Spectator.
When you get a large proletariat liv-
ing, as that of ancient Rome and pos
sibly of Nineveh and Babylon did, on
the aims of the rich and powerful, then
no doubt you have the conditions Of a
thoroughly unnatural and unhealthy
life, and no one can wonder at the
rapid decay Of such cities and Of the
nations which gloried in them. But
where the honest working class far out
numbers the proletariat, where the
middle classes Of distributors and man
ufacturers and professional men are
laborious and energetic, and even the
class that lives on it's accumulated
wealth contains considerable sprink-
ling Of serious and disinterested work.
ers, we do not believe that there is
the smallest evidence of any greater
danger in the life of the city than in
the life of the agricultural village or
the pastoral tribe. Indeed, we should
regard Oliver Schreiner's picture Of the
life of the modern Beers as indicating
a condition of things more prolific of
morbid elements, with its almost COM
plete absence of any stirring or active
intelligence, than any kind of modern
life that is honestly laborious at all.
The Boer life is too sleepy, too desti-
tute Of stirring thought or effort, to be
natural. 1t needs at least
the old element Of danger and neces-
sary vigilance to render it even grac-
ing.

Chain LiChtnIng.

An extraordinary lightning story Is
told by correspondent of the English
scientific journal, Nature. He says that
during the evening of September 9th
last, while violent thunderstorm was
raging, he saw eight strange lightning
flashes, having "a chain formation with
large elliptical links and of golden
yellow color" These flashes" were
astOnishingly slow, as zone Of them
took slightly over a minute to pour
from the clouds to the edge of the val
ley opposite me-" This singular ac-
count becomes more interesting since
a later correspondent of the same
journal has testified otis substantial
accuracy from his own observations Of
similar streams of lightning. He adds,
however, that he has never seen the
"chain" form, but has witnessed the
spectacle Of a thick stream pouring
slowly down Gin the sort of curve which
liquid takes from q kettle"

coast all he wants to without fearing

Sddge who gave the decision is wheel
