NEARING A CRISIS
President Cleveland Has Decided on
His Cuban Policy.

Chicago. Dec. "A special to the Tri-
bune from Washington says: A crisis
in Ehe affairs of Cuba is rapidly APP
preaching and there is every reason to
believe that President Cleveland has al
ready decided on action which will
startle the country almost as much as
his famous message on Venezuela, al
though the exact time for the announce
ment depends somewhat on future OPP
erations in Cuba.
BY this action the president will not
change his previous policy in regard to
Spain and Cuba in any regard. but will
simply carry it to its logical conclusion,
which is a direct and open threat of ac-
tive intervention on the part of the I'm
tied States to secure peace in the ISL
and, whether by independence of TIE
patriots of by voluntary action on the
part of Spain.
From three different sources the poll,

Tho IXaraim jews.

The Karaim Jews number 5000 or
1000, and live principally in the Cri-
mea They speak Tartar dialect among
themselves. and ethnologically are much
more like Tartars than Scmitcs. Their
own legends, i'll fact, permit the assump

from that of the 5000, GEO or more or

Giraffe Hunting.

Certainly one can scarcely consider it
an elevating form Of sport-too often it
is lowering for the giraffe, as well as for
horse and rider-for it calls forth nei-
Their endurance, courage nor extraordl-
nary skill on the part of the hunter. Prac-
tically speaking. if he has a good horse
which he can stick to, and can hit hay
stack, there is not the slightest reason
why he should not count his slain giraffes
by the score At the same time, it is not
to be denied that there is something
wonderfully fascinating and keenly OK
citing in flying race on good horse
after a troop of these animals. The
country through which the chase leads,
the wonderful effect caused by the great
stridinS, swaying troop i'll front of one,
the feeling Of eXultation inseparable
from Il stiff gallop on good mount, all
combine TO render attractive that which
comes perilously near to deserving very
different name.
1t is certain that all tho interest OF
the sport is centerod i'll the run, for
when once tho giraffe is brought toa
stand nothing but honest pity can BE
felt fqr fits beautiful, stately helpless

be buffalo, nor our foxes lions, SO it is
not well to set up too high a standard.
To those who enjoy an exciting race on
good horse over rough country, giraffe
hunting offers great, almost unequaIcd,
attractions The only question is wheth
tt the feeling Of pity for its resultant
death does not outweigh tho previous
short lived pleasure. 1t is SO easy to

such dangerous enterprises. 1t Is this
question which l propose to deal with.
In doing so let me dismiss for a mo
ment all rhetorical methods and even
the direct and obvious religious re-
Iuindcr in meeting this question. From
this standpoint missionary work must

those ON which any other enterprises
are treated. No doubt it is horrible to
read of lnassacrcs and Outrages, and all
reasonable care should be taken not to
provoke them. But to abandon an ell
tcrprise because certain risks attach to
it is quito another matter. The objec-
ton that men and women ought not to
be exposed To certain perils is really
part of much larger question. How
far are risks lawful i'll amy enterprise?
Will amy one hold that only safe en-
torprises are to be undertaken! As we
ask tho question we provoke smile,
for there are hardly such things as en-
terlrises devoid of risk. Enterprise usu-
ally involves risk. No progress OF any
kind is possible without it. If immu-
nifty from danger had been made IL con-
dition of enterprise. tho development of
civilization would have been arrested
long ago. America had never been dis
covered Australia had never been col

Forth bridge had ever been constructed.

The Dangers of Ice Cream,

The ice cream vCndcr is according to the
London Lancet, menace to health and
should DC carefully looked after by all Der
sGns who have due regard for sanitary CON
ditions In the course of the Investigation
of a health commission it was found that
ii great deal of the ice cream sold by ven
dcrs was made in cellars, in some instances
on floors laid over wet places where the
mud spurtcd up through the boards at cv-
cry step. microscopic examination of

sort misunderstanding ingredients of all
kiAds--inSects, hairs, lint, bits of straw
ard filth from the streets, To say nothing of
namelcss TuapreUiZing articles not to be
mentioned To ears polite.
The summing up Of the situation Is that
under no circumstances should ice cream
be made in cellars. There is no more de-
sirable medium for the propagation of ba
GILL, and for this reason all operations
connected with their manufacture should
he conducted in clean, dry, above ground
places. The ingredients ought to be thor

taken in its making
