Tai es la pregunta que bemos dido
formular en- estos dfas, con motive de
los rumores que circular acerca de una
crisis probable en- el seno del gabinete
actual.
Una respuesta clara y Categorical, que
no dele lugar dudas, es punto menos
que impossible: para darla asf, seria ne

bres que dirigen la polftica espanola,

Hoy, EN- Espafla, en- virtud del estado
an6malo porque atravesamos, no hay
ningun criterio SECURE que sirva de
norma, que sehale frances derroteros
las mas arduas cuestiones.
Hemos descendido tales extremes,
que nuestros hombres pOlfticos, aun los
mas habiles, son esclavos de las circuns-
tancias.

de cosas.
Pero hay algunos que Sc hallan en-
forzosa contraposicion con sus senti-
mientos.
El senior Sagasta, hablando de las CO.
lonias, ha hecho las declaraciones mas
expansivas, mas avanzadas, que pueden
pedirse d un hombre de ideas democra-
ticas liberales.
Pero pudiera suceder muy bien que
si-el senior Sagasta Sc encargase actual
mente del gobierno, no cumpliese NADIA
de 10 que ha dicho, siguiendo los rum
bos del senior Canovas.
La opinion peninsular, al fjar sus

Facts About Pumice stone.

Pumice, as is we'll known, is of
volcanic origin, being crachytio lava
which has been rendered light by the
escape Of gases when in molten state.
1t is found on most OF the shores OF the
Tyrrhenian Sea and elsewhere, but it
is at present almost exclusively OBJ
tanned from the little island of Liparis
Most of the volcanoes Of Lipari have
elected pumaceous rocks, but the best
stone is all the product of one noun
tain, Monte Chirica, nearly 1000 feet
in height, with its two accessory
craters. The district in which the
pumlce is excavated covers an area of
three square miles. 1t has been cal
culated that about one thousand hands
are engaged in the industry, six hun
dred Of whom are employed in extri-
eating the mineral. Pumice is brought
to the service in large blocks or in
baskets, and is carried thus either to
the neighboring village or to the sea-
shore to be taken there in boats. The
supply is said to he practically mex
haustible. Pumice is. used not merely
for securing and cleaning purposes,
but also for polishing in numerous
trades, hence the fact that the pow
dered pumice exported exceeds in
weight the black pumice. Between
twenty and thirty merchants are en-
gagged in the pumice trade in the
island. Boston Cultivator.

glancing carelessly at the superscrlp

eye had caught the writing, too. She
sprang to her feet, the box falling to
the floor with crash. One look al
Roy's face. and with piercing scream
she fell in swoon.
Roy saw her in careful hands and
then left the house with the letter in
his possession. In his own room be
drew the letter from its envelope, and
again traced the lines he had written
a year before. Why had Cornie tainted
upon his discovery of the letter IN her

at all? He vas very near the truth
and if any confirmation was needed. i!
was afforded by note which was
brought to him. It read:
"Roy, I give you up. You are free.

He looked ct the tremulous writing,

Roy felt all his resentment melt away,
but q voice said:
"Has not Eveline right to know
your feelings toward her, and to elect
whether she will accept your love or
not?"
He wrote to Cornie kindly, yet in o
way that ended ali that had been be-
tween them, and the night train bore
him to the metropolis.
The following morning he stood in
EvelIne's presence, at her home. His
heart leaped as he noted the color
come into her face, and the trembling
of her hand. When he was alone with
her he placed the letter in her lap,
saying:
'.Eveline, I wrote this year ago. I
now deliver it in person, and await
your answer"
He went to the window and stood
with his back toward her, drumming
nervously on the pane. Eveline took
up the letter and read it through. Roy
heard sound of stuffed sobbing, and,
turning, saw her with her face in her

Led BY a Stick.

Il is not generally known that
among the facts which induced DR..
Nansen to undertake his expedition to
the North Pole was the discovery of
little piece of wood called the "thrcw-
ing-stick."
Professor j. Murdoch explains what
a "throwing-stick" is, and how it led
DR.. Nansen to believe that there was
steady current flowing across the
Pole. He defined s'throwing-stick"
to be contrivance for casting jaw.
elm or harpoon, which is employed
by various savage races, such as the
Australians, some South American
tribes, and especially by the Eskimos.
The patterns of di ferent countries
differ from one another, so that con-
noisseur can say whether particular
sstick" belongs to Greenland, or Hud-
son Bay, or Alaska. In 1886 curator
of Norwegian scientific society found
s'throwing-stick" among driftwood
at Godthaab, Greenland, different
from those used in Greenland, but
similar to those used in Alaska. and
practically identical with implements
employed by natives living near Ber-
ing Strait.
The discoverer, DR.. Ring, set him.
self the work of finding out how it
reached Godthaab. It was evident
that 1t had not drifted by way OF the
Northwest Passage. for that way is
barred by such network of islands
that the stick would undoubtedly have
stranded long before it reached Green
land.
The only reasonable explanation he
could give was that the stick must
have drifted with the current that sets
north through Boring StraiR into the
Arctic Ocean. On the north of the
Strait the current moves steadily west
ward.
There the stick must have met the
current that sweeps down between
Iceland and Greenland, and then
turned northward again around Cape
Farewell. This theory appealed to
DR.. hansen, and ultimately led him to
form his adventurous plan of trusting
his little vessel to the current which
he believed would carry him over the
Pole. New York Journal.

The Greatest Catfish Market.

philadelphia is the greatest catfish
market in the world" said Mr. L. Fl.
Cogswell at the Eleventh street wharf
last Tuesday. Two co'orei men were
busily engaged beheading and skin
ming big pile of big catfish. They
were remarkably adept in the opera
ton. While one, armed with sharp
knife, would cut off the head OF fish
and slit it open, the other would pick
up the fish so treated and with pair
of nippers catch the skin deltly and
pull it off. A Star reporter was watch
ing the interesting operation and
asked Mr.. Cogswell where he found
the demand for such lot of catfish.
"We dispose of very large number
OF the fish in this city, but when we
have surplus supply we ship it direct
to Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the
greatest catfish market in the world.
In the districts Inhabited largely by
the poor vendors go about the streets
with buckets on their heads selling
the fish, and their cry is somewhat
similar to the familiar COAL which. we
hear SO frequently IN Washington in
neighborhoods similarly populated.
Catfish are cooked in variety OF ways,
bat made into chowder is the most
popular form in which they are served.
Nothing is more palatable than we'll
prepared catfish chowder, and q great
many people prefer chowder made
from tho heads alone. You will notice
that those two coIored men who are
cleaning the fish preserve number
of tho largest heads. They have regu-
lar customers for the heads, which
they will string in lunches and sell for
probably as much as the same number
of fish would bring.
EYES," continued Mr.. Cogswell,
"those two fellows are very expert at
skinning catfish. The best points in
the vicinity of Washington for catch.
ing catfish are at Colonial Beach and
Matthias Point. The fall season in the
fishing business is now open. The
varieties that will be handled are ro.k
fish and white perch, both of which
are very large and very plentiful this
year. Any surplus that we have above
the home demand in these varieties is
shipped in ice to New York and Pnila-
delphis, bat catfish are only shipped
to the latter city, Washington Star.

offers q promising field for electric

is often expensive, but fruit districts
